    Hamas Accidentally Broke Iran’s Axis | Dr. Brandon Friedman

    How did the aftermath of October 7th shatter Tehran’s strategic calculations? In this episode, Middle East expert Dr. Brandon Friedman joins Inflection Zero to dissect the dramatic geopolitical fallout of the current crisis. Together, we break down how recent events dismantled Iran's heavily orchestrated "Ring of Fire" and exposed the fatal structural flaws fragmenting the "Axis of Resistance." Key areas we explore: • The Miscalculation: Did Hamas act entirely alone on October 7th, or was there a broader plan? • The Deterrence Trap: Why Tehran’s heavily funded regional proxies ultimately failed them. • Israel's Counter-Strategy: The military and intelligence moves dismantling the Ring of Fire. • The New Balance of Power: How Gulf States are shifting alliances in response to the conflict. • Internal Collapse: The boiling tension inside Iran between economic ruin and military ambition.
