American Intelligence and Information Power V. Iran (featuring Reuel Marc Gerecht)
Manage episode 498649397 series 3656060
In Part II of their conversation, Mark Dubowitz and Reuel Marc Gerecht dive into what the 12-Day War exposed about the Islamic Republic and why Iran’s leaders, even after decades of hostility, were caught flat-footed. From the failures of counterintelligence to the delusions of anti-Semitic ideology, they break down how the regime misjudged Israeli capabilities, misunderstood American politics, and underestimated both. Through his on-brand blending of spycraft, ideology, and dark humor, Reuel shares a rare glimpse inside the mind of the regime — and why, despite its repression and resilience, it may be closer to collapse than it thinks.
