What the U.S. and Israel Are Really Doing in Iran


Listen Later

Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus (Ret.) (Senior Fellow, Foundation for Defense of Democracies, and Former IDF Spokesperson) joins Chris Cuomo to explain how Israel sees the war with Iran — and why Israeli leaders reject the idea that Israel is dragging the United States into the conflict.

Conricus breaks down how the strikes unfolded, what intelligence triggered the timing of the attack, and why he believes the operation was clearly led by the United States with Israel bearing the greatest immediate risk. He also explains the structure of the Iranian regime — including the role of the Revolutionary Guard, the Quds Force, and the internal security apparatus that keeps the government in power.
The conversation explores whether regime change in Iran is realistic, how the Iranian military and proxy networks are responding, and why Israel believes Iran may be weaker and more isolated than many analysts assume. Cuomo also presses Conricus on civilian casualties, messaging failures around the reported strike on a school, and whether failing to acknowledge mistakes risks damaging public trust during wartime.
