The Axis E01: 'True Promise' and three shifts that could reshape region

In this episode of 'The Axis'—your source for original insights on Iran and its Arab allies in the region—Ali Hashem and Mohammad Ali Shabani discuss two significant topics that are shaping the region as we know it. There is Operation ‘True Promise’: Iran's unprecedented drone and missile strike on Israel on April 14. What were its aims? Was it intended to kill? Who pushed for it? And most importantly, what can we expect next? Then there is the dealmaking that could reshape the region: Israeli-Saudi normalization, Iran-US 'de-escalation', and forging an economic dimension to the Iranian-Saudi rapprochement. In all three cases, the key to progress lies in an end to the Gaza war and US concessions.
