On The Michael Medved Show, Michael Rubin, director of policy analysis at the Middle East Forum, examines the risks of a fragile U.S.–Iran confrontation, arguing that Tehran’s response to military setbacks may come not only through direct action, but through its network of regional proxies and allies.
The conversation explores whether targeting Iran’s leadership rather than its military infrastructure could change the strategic balance, what recent developments reveal about public support for the Iranian regime, and why the aftermath of conflict may prove as consequential as the fighting itself.
Rubin also discusses Ukraine’s growing military capabilities, the significance of domestic production of advanced weapons systems, and why he believes momentum may be shifting against Russia.
It’s a wide-ranging look at two global conflicts where the next moves could reshape America’s role on the world stage.
