About this episode

This episode discusses the U.S. military surge in the Middle East and the escalating tensions with Iran amid nuclear threats and a U.S. Embassy alert during Ramadan.

In this week's update, we look at the massive U.S. military surge in the Middle East, with dual carrier strike groups, hundreds of fighter jets, and assets encircling Iran amid nuclear standoffs and Trump's dire ultimatum. We reveal Iran's aggressive threats of missile and proxy retaliation, with assets poised for asymmetric strikes on the homeland. Adding to the volatility, we cover the U.S. Embassy's Jerusalem alert urging extreme caution during Ramadan—a period jihadists have twisted into a "month of calamity." Stay vigilant: Global tensions are knocking at America's door. An expanded written version of this report can be found in this week’s Threat Journal newsletter.
