Description:
The world holds its breath as the Iran-Israel conflict threatens to spiral into a global catastrophe. What happens when diplomacy fails and demands shift to unconditional surrender? In this exclusive deep-dive, veteran analysts Robert Johnson and Linda Miller reveal the hidden dynamics shaping this crisis.

🗺️ Discover Iran's surprising history of compromise with the West and why that all changed. We unpack how the US exit from the JCPOA nuclear deal set the stage for today's impasse, where "regime change" is the only acceptable outcome for one side.

💥 Understand the catastrophic stakes for both nations. For Israel, it's about maintaining deterrence and the myth of invincibility. For Iran, it's about survival.

📜 Learn how international law and the very idea of "legitimacy" are being rewritten by raw power, using precedents like Kosovo to justify new actions. We explore why global powers like China and Russia are now voicing grave concerns over nuclear escalation.

This isn't just a regional conflict; it's a fundamental test of the global order.
