Summary
A deal has been right around the corner for about two months while the entire region remains on edge. This weekend, we even saw a resumption of military strikes between Israel and Iran, making it seem like a return to war might happen before an actual peace deal.To better understand this situation, we’re joined today by Jonathan Hackett. Jonathan is a retired U.S. Marine interrogator, counterintelligence agent, and special operations intelligence officer and he recently authored a book titled “Iran’s Shadow Weapons” where he dives into how the Iranian regime is driven by a mixture of paranoid, greed and cold rationality.Find Jonathan's newest book here: https://www.amazon.com/Irans-Shadow-Weapons-Intelligence-Unconventional/dp/1476696934/Follow Jonathan here: https://jonathanwhackett.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/thejonathanhackett/Merch Store: https://prestonstew.shop/Join the community on Substack: https://prestonstew.substack.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/prestonstew_TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@prestonstewInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/prestonstew_/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/people/Preston-Stewart/61584740132063/Unclassified Podcast Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4YmaFZihykI0iov9XgQ0uD?si=efe0b3bd89b6421dYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheUnclassifiedPodContact: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
