What did the 12-Day War reveal about the Islamic Republic — and about us?

Host Mark Dubowitz sits down with his FDD colleague Brad Bowman, Senior Director of FDD’s Center on Military and Political Power (CMPP), to break down what the 12-Day War taught us about American military and political power — how it’s wielded, where it’s failing, and what comes next.

They map Iran’s battlefield failures and its deepening ties to Russia, China, and North Korea — the Axis of Aggressors confronting the United States — and what the US must learn from Israel’s fight.

From munitions shortfalls to deterrence theory, this is a hard look at American power, the future of the U.S.–Israel alliance, and the next phase of the long war with Tehran.
