Description

In this episode of The Diplomat, Dr. Kenneth Pollack joins Joe Kawly to map what comes next:
Iran is retrenching, Israel is recalibrating, and Gulf capitals are quietly rewriting the rules of power?

Pollack has been inside the CIA, briefed U.S. presidents, and watched the Middle East reinvent itself through war, diplomacy, and everything in between.

From Tehran’s post-war caution to Washington’s search for deals, and Saudi Arabia’s strategic flexibility between the U.S., China, and Iran, this is a rare look inside how power is being redistributed across the Middle East. A must-listen for anyone trying to understand where this region is heading after Gaza, after the Iran war, and before whatever comes next.
