  • Francisco Gil-White joins me for a second interview to explore the Israel-Iran conflict, analyzing strategic tensions, the role of the US, potential global impacts of Israel's fall, and strategies to prevent it.

    We delve into the complex dynamics of the Israel-Iran war, exploring Iran's strategic plans against Israel and the current precarious situation that poses the question: Will Israel fall? We also discuss the intricate relationship between the US and Iran, examining allegations and the nuanced stances that the United States might be taking towards Israel. This discussion opens up into a broader conversation about who truly benefits if Israel were to fall and the potential global repercussions.

    Further into the episode, we tackle common myths surrounding the ongoing conflict, providing clear, fact-based insights to separate fiction from reality. The conversation culminates with a critical discussion on possible strategies and diplomatic efforts that could be employed to prevent the fall of Israel. Each segment is designed to give listeners a deeper understanding of the geopolitical tensions and the stakes involved, while also offering a glimpse of hope through actionable solutions.
