In this episode of our podcast, Conversations with B’nai B’rith, Middle East expert and human rights/national security lawyer Irina Tsukerman discusses the intensifying threats posed by Iran’s terrorist proxies with B’nai B’rith CEO Dan Mariaschin. Tsukerman, editor-in-chief of The Washington Outsider, explains how the Iranian regime has been using proxy groups like Hamas and Hezbollah to destabilize the Middle East for decades, particularly after Hamas’ brutal October 7th attack on Israel.
In an interview with B’nai B’rith CEO Dan Mariaschin, Tsukerman delves into Iran’s strategy of deploying these terror groups in its foreign policy and the rapid escalation of Tehran’s proxy conflict with Israel. She also examines the role the United States could (and should) play as these groups become increasingly hostile, undermining regional security.
This conversation is particularly critical as the Islamic Republic nears completion of its decades-long quest to acquire nuclear weapons capability.
