The US and Israel are reportedly gearing up for a strike campaign against Iran following new intelligence that Tehran has established a covert network to rearm with assistance from Russia and China. This comes as the White House insists that last year's Operation Midnight Hammer successfully obliterated Iran's nuclear program, despite claims from US officials that Iran is close to acquiring bomb-making material. Intelligence analyst Ryan McBeth discusses the potential effectiveness of these strikes, questioning if they would merely result in destruction without achieving strategic goals. The situation is further complicated by Iranian intelligence operations reportedly targeting the US midterm elections.
