Jim Carafano: Middle East Security, Iranian Nuclear Progress, and Geopolitical Strategy

National security and Middle East strategy take center stage with guest Dr. Jim Carafano from The Heritage Foundation. Carafano analyzes fresh intelligence concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities, emphasizing that Tehran's timeline to a functional weapon remains a political decision rather than a technical bottleneck. He breaks down the strategic difference between rogue states like North Korea and an oil-wealthy Iran, explaining how a nuclear-armed Tehran would trigger an immediate regional arms race across Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Egypt.
