PTS podcast host Joy Votrobek speaks to ASCF Sr. Analyst Laurence Sanford about Iran and its proxies' disdain for Western civilization. While Israel may enter trade agreements with Arab countries, they know Islam is no friend. Iran has openly called for the destruction of Israel, and Hamas has indoctrinated Gazans. They discuss Iran's nuclear capability and whether they would actually use it on Israel. Finally, they discuss using grayzone warfare and exploiting Iran's internal unrest.

Nuclear engineer, Lee Boyland, believes that Iran already has nuclear capability. The question is, will they use it? Most countries with this destructive power stay in check because of the Mutual Assured Destruction theory. However, Iran is run by an Islamic theocracy that believes martyrs are honored after death.
