Can military force alone stop Iran—or is something more needed?

In this Newsmax interview with Tracy Sabol, Shurat HaDin President Nitsana Darshan-Leitner joins retired U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Blaine Holt to discuss President Trump's strategy toward Iran, the Strait of Hormuz, economic pressure, Iraq's role in the region, and why lasting security requires confronting the Iranian regime on multiple fronts.
