2015 YEMEN
John Batchelor with Bill Roggio and Husain Haqqani. This discussion addresses the escalating conflict between the United States and Iran. The participants analyze the effectiveness of American air power, concluding that bombing campaigns alone cannot achieve regime change without a massive ground presence that the U.S. currently lacks the political will to deploy. The conversation highlights regional vulnerabilities, specifically the threat posed by Iranian drones and the potential closure of vital maritime choke points like the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb. Additionally, the panel addresses the difficulty of building a credible Iranian resistance and the ongoing challenge of neutralizing Hamas leadership now operating from Turkey. Ultimately, the experts characterize the situation as a war of vanities with no clear exit strategy for either side. (1)
