Beschrijving

How does a regime with a shattered economy, crippled military leadership, and overwhelming public opposition continue to survive? In this episode, Meira K examines the survival strategy at the heart of the Islamic Republic of Iran—a system built not around victory, but endurance. While many observers focus on missiles, sanctions, and military setbacks, Iran's real strength may lie somewhere far less obvious. From the regime's grip over key sectors of the economy to its network of regional proxies, Meira breaks down how Tehran has spent decades constructing a model designed to outlast pressure, survive crises, and remain standing long after the world has moved on.

Beyond the Missiles: Iran's Strategy for Regional Influence

Did Iran just outmaneuver both Israel and the United States in a single weekend? Meira K explains why Iran's latest missile attack may have been far more than a military response...it may have been a carefully calculated political trap. She also exposes how Iran used Hezbollah, ceasefire negotiations and growing tensions between PM Netanyahu and President Trump to test America's resolve, reshape the rules of the conflict, and strengthen its strategic position without firing a prolonged war. More importantly, you'll gain insight into the hidden chess match taking place behind the headlines, why Hezbollah's survival matters so much to Tehran and what these developments could mean for the future of Israel, Lebanon and the broader Middle East.
