## Resource

A historic reset is unfolding in 2026—and the stakes couldn’t be higher. In this powerful episode of The Staksast, Erick Stakelbeck is joined by ambassador Yechiel Leiter, Israel’s Ambassador to the United States, for a wide-ranging, no-spin breakdown of what’s next for Israel, America, and the Middle East as massive protests spread across Iran. Ambassador Leiter explains why the Iranian people—92 million strong—are rising up after decades under the boot of the mullahs, a regime that has starved its own citizens of basic necessities while funneling billions to terror proxies worldwide. If the ayatollahs fall, Leiter says, the ripple effects could be seismic—opening the door to a new era of regional peace… and maybe even something he calls the “Cyrus Accords.” We also dig into: Why Iran’s missile program isn’t just regional—it’s aimed at the United States How Iran funds its terror empire: Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis Behind the scenes of the Trump–Netanyahu Mar-a-Lago meeting The surprising new signals coming out of Damascus—and Israel’s cautious talks with Syria The growing “Qatar over Israel” deception—and why Israel remains America’s most reliable strategic partner This is a must-watch conversation about peace through strength, the battle against state-sponsored terror, and the future of Judeo-Christian civilization Learn more about your ad choices.
