Listen Later

In this episode of Mideast Horizons, Robert Greenway provides a rare insider’s perspective on President Trump’s decision-making on Iran, U.S.-Israel military cooperation, and the reshaping of the Middle East.

Greenway, Director of the Allison Center for National Security at The Heritage Foundation and former Senior Director for MENA at the U.S. National Security Council, discusses: 

  • The "Epic Fury" Breakthrough: Why the level of operational integration between the U.S. and Israel has surpassed even the historic U.S.-UK partnership.
  • Trump’s Decision-Making: A firsthand account of how President Trump uses provocative negotiations to achieve outcome-oriented national security goals.
  • The "Zero Enrichment" Demand: Why Iran has no right-and no practical need-for domestic nuclear enrichment.
  • The China Connection: Insights from "Project TIDALWAVE," an AI-enabled simulation revealing how the depletion of munitions impacts a potential 35-day culmination window in a conflict with China.
  • Regional Security Architecture: The future of the Abraham Accords and a new regional security, economic, and energy architecture.
  • Unfinished Business: Reflections on the 2020 elimination of Qasem Soleimani and the terrorists still waiting to face justice.

    • In the first segment, hosts Asher Fredman and Lahav Harkov reflect on recording during Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) and how the vow of "Never Again" applies in the post-October 7th world.

    They also discuss:

    • The U.S. Naval Blockade: The economic impact of cutting off 90% of Iran’s trade through the Strait of Hormuz.
    • Historic Lebanon Talks: Analyzing the first high-level meeting between Israeli and Lebanese officials in over 30 years, facilitated by Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
    • The "Accordion" of French Diplomacy: A look at France’s role in the region and why Israel is moving forward with its security objectives regardless of European pressure.
