## Resource

War with Iran is no longer a distant possibility. It’s a looming reality. As tensions reach a boiling point, the question is no longer if the Middle East will shift, but when. In this urgent and eye-opening episode of Stakscast, Jonathan Conricus — Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and former international spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces — lays out what a potential U.S. strike on Iran could actually look like. We examine the growing threat from Tehran, the expanding shadow war encircling Israel, and what a full-scale conflict could mean not just for the region, but for the entire world. From Hamas’ grip on Gaza to the strategic alignment between Qatar and Turkey, new power blocs are forming behind the scenes — and they could dramatically reshape the balance of power across the Middle East. The lines are being drawn. The alliances are forming. And the world is watching. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
