## Resource

Tonight on Investigate Earth, we sit down with Joshua Loyd Fox, a former Department of Defense employee, author, and military veteran, to discuss the rapidly escalating tensions between the United States, Israel, and Iran. As the situation in the Middle East grows more volatile, many experts are asking a frightening question, could this conflict spiral into a global war? In this interview we explore the real risks behind a wider regional conflict, the possibility of World War 3, and the scenarios many Americans fear most, nuclear escalation or even an EMP attack that could cripple the United States. Drawing from his decades working within the defense system, Fox shares his perspective on how serious the threat could be, what the American public may not be hearing, and what the potential consequences could look like if this conflict continues to escalate. This is a conversation about geopolitics, national security, and the future of global stability at a moment when the stakes may be higher than many people realize. Our Merch Store
