What is the overall objective in this war between Iran and Israel? PTS podcast host Joy Votrobek is joined by ASCF senior analyst and returning guest, Col. (Ret.) Pete McIlwain. Col. Pete leads us through information on Operation Rising Lion and the challenges to an Regime Change in Iran. Col. Pete shares information that is not typically reported in the mainstream media. He touches on sources that suggest the nuclear attack may not have been as successful as Israel and the U.S. would like to claim. He also brings up the MEK (Iranian Mujahideen-e Khalq), who have been fighting against the Shia Theocracy in Iran since 1979. He states sources who suggest the MEK were on the ground in Iran as the operational and intelligence arm of Mossad and possibly funded by the CIA. They end by questioning what Iran will do now that they have lost their proxy arms in the Middle East. Pete's notes will be available as an article on our website shortly.

Pete has over 40 years of combined service between the Army and the CIA, during which he was stationed in Tel Aviv for an extended period.
