Sagiv Asulin ex-Mossad: Why Venezuela Was Just the Opening Shot Against Iran

In this eye-opening episode, I welcome Sagiv Asulin, a leading expert on Iran, influence operations, and strategic perception at the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA). As a former senior officer and operations commander in the Mossad, Israel’s elite spy agency, Asulin brings decades of hands-on experience in intelligence, national security strategy, and global outreach. We connect the dots between the recent daring U.S. Delta Force operation in Venezuela—capturing dictator Nicolás Maduro—and President Trump’s broader strategy to confront tyrannical regimes. Asulin explores how toppling the Ayatollahs’ oppressive rule in Iran could be a decisive step toward reasserting U.S. dominance, defending Western values, and countering the intertwined threats from extreme woke ideologies, communist influences, and Islamist networks. Asulin’s work delves into the powerful intersection of influence warfare, faith-based diplomacy, and Iran’s vast threat network. At JCFA, he works to forge international partnerships that combat malign influence and build strategic awareness among allies. His urgent focus today is exposing and defeating what he and other Israeli leaders call Israel’s “eighth front”—the relentless information war. While Israel battles multiple physical fronts, this hidden theater of disinformation, manipulated narratives, and perception management represents an existential challenge. Join us as Asulin shares battle-tested insights on how to fight back effectively—with truth, clarity, and strategic resolve. Perfect for anyone interested in Iran’s shadow operations, cognitive warfare, the future of global security, and the high-stakes battle against authoritarianism worldwide.

Marziyeh (Marzi) Amirizadeh | Christian Persecution in Iran

In this powerful and moving interview, I sit down with Marziyeh (Marzi) Amirizadeh, an Iranian-American Christian who faced unimaginable persecution for her faith in Iran. Marzi was arrested in 2009 alongside her friend Maryam Rostampour for converting to Christianity and sharing the Gospel. They spent 259 days in the notorious Evin Prison — one of the world's most brutal facilities — enduring intense interrogations, solitary confinement, unsanitary conditions, and a death sentence by hanging for "apostasy." Yet, in the midst of darkness, Marzi's unwavering faith shone brightly. She and Maryam boldly shared God's love with fellow inmates, turning their cellblock into a place of hope and even leading many to Christ. After international pressure led to their miraculous release, Marzi immigrated to the United States. Today, she is a published author, international speaker, and advocate for human rights. Marzi is also the founder and president of New Persia, a nonprofit dedicated to advocating for persecuted Christians, empowering oppressed women under radical Islam, exposing the Iranian regime's lies, and restoring historic ties between Persians, Jews, and Christians. In our conversation, Marzi shares her inspiring story of courage, forgiveness, and redemption — a testament to the power of faith in the face of extreme persecution.
