Jonathan Conricus, former IDF international spokesperson and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, explains what’s really happening in the war with Iran — and why so many people are getting it completely wrong.
Despite viral videos, AI-generated clips, and confident claims from major influencers, the reality on the ground tells a very different story.
In this conversation:
– Is Iran actually losing the war?
– Why millions of people are being misled
– How propaganda and misinformation are shaping global perception
– Why even high-profile voices are getting this wrong
– What this means for Israel, the United States, and the future of the Middle East
After years of explaining Israel’s wars to the world, Conricus reveals how modern conflict is fought not just on the battlefield — but in the information space.
If you want to understand what’s really happening beyond the headlines, this episode is essential.
