Will Israel or the United States strike Iran first? As tensions between Israel and Iran reach dangerous new heights, “True East” dives into the heart of the region’s most critical security dilemma.
In this explosive episode, host Doron Spielman, IDF Spokesperson (Res.), sits down with Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jonathan Conricus, a senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and a former international spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces.
With U.S. B-2 stealth bombers reportedly deployed to Diego Garcia and U.S. President Donald Trump warning of a devastating response if Iran refuses to halt its nuclear program, this episode unpacks the real possibility of imminent military action and what it would mean for Israel, the United States and the Middle East.
Topics covered include:
- Iran’s nuclear program and current weaponization stage
- The strategic implications of U.S. support under Trump
- The Abraham Accords, regional realignments and Saudi-Iran dynamics
- The potential for Hezbollah or proxies to escalate the conflict
- Civil unrest in Iran and the regime’s weakening grip
Conricus brings decades of security insight, battlefield experience and global diplomacy to the conversation. Go behind the scenes and learn what’s really happening!
