Dr. David Wurmser breaks down why Iran’s latest moves reveal a regime under intense pressure, but not yet on the verge of surrender. While President Trump escalates strikes against Iranian infrastructure, Wurmser warns that Washington may still be making a critical mistake by treating the conflict as a negotiation rather than a struggle against an ideological system determined to survive, control the Strait of Hormuz, and weaken the United States politically.

The danger does not stop with Iran. Wurmser explains how Turkey is expanding its influence through Syria, using Islamist proxies to tighten its grip on the region and potentially push into Lebanon. What begins as an effort to contain Hezbollah could instead replace one threat with an even greater one, bringing Turkish power, radical Sunni forces, and Israel closer to a direct and far more dangerous confrontation.
