In this exclusive update, guest host Amir Oren sits down with retired US Army Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt former Assistant Secretary of State for Political and Military Affairs to dissect the current state of the US-Iran conflict. Is the United States repeating historical military mistakes in its escalating standoff with Iran?
As tensions boil over in the Strait of Hormuz and shipping lanes face renewed attacks, General Kimmitt analyzes whether the US strategy relies on a flawed “body count” mentality reminiscent of Vietnam. They also dive into the reality of the Houthi threat in the Red Sea, the logistical strain on US munitions, the truth behind failed regime-change plots involving Kurdish militias, and the historical echoes of 1980s Operation Praying Mantis.
Watch to learn why tactical military wins might not equal strategic victory in the Middle East.
