Wounded Enemy: When Victory Isn't the End
What happens when a wounded enemy isn't defeated but simply waiting for its next opportunity? In this provocative episode of the True East podcast, IDF Spokesman (Res.) Doron Spielman explores one of history's most dangerous military mistakes: stopping a war too soon. Drawing powerful parallels between ancient Rome's failure to finish Carthage, the aftermath of World War I and the current confrontation with Iran, this episode examines whether today's apparent victories could become tomorrow's disasters. Viewers will learn the historical patterns that shape Israel's strategic thinking, why weakened adversaries can be more dangerous than strong ones and the critical question policymakers face today: has Iran merely been hurt, or has it truly been changed? The answer may determine whether the Middle East is moving toward lasting peace...or simply preparing for the next war.

Section 224: The New Foundation of U.S.-Israel Relations and Future Warfare
The biggest shift in U.S.-Israel relations in decades may be happening right now and almost nobody is talking about it. In this eye-opening conversation, IDF Spokesman (Res.) Doron Spielman and strategic analyst Nitzan David Fuchs break down Section 224, a little-known congressional initiative that could transform Israel from a recipient of American aid into America's most important defense technology partner. You'll learn why Washington suddenly sees Israeli battlefield innovation, AI, cyber capabilities, missile defense and next-generation warfare technologies as critical assets in the global race against China, and why supporters believe this legislation could permanently reshape the future of the alliance. If Section 224 becomes law, it won't just change how the U.S. and Israel work together, it could redefine how modern wars are fought for decades to come.

Lebanon as Leverage: Iran’s Strategy Against Israel and America
Israel may be on the verge of permanently reshaping its northern border and Hezbollah’s terrifying new drone warfare is only the beginning of the story. IDF Spokesman (Res.) Doron Spielman sits down with Amiad Cohen (Founder and CEO of Herut Center) to discuss why the war in Lebanon is far more strategically successful than most headlines suggest and how Iran may be using Lebanon as both a distraction and a survival strategy while negotiating with the United States. Viewers will learn about the geography driving Israel’s military thinking, why the Litani River could become Israel’s de facto northern border, how collapsing states and demographic shifts are reshaping the Middle East and why countries like India may become Israel’s most important future allies. From President Trump’s Iran negotiations and the Strait of Hormuz to the rise of Turkey, Syria and the next generation of global alliances, this episode connects battlefield tactics with the massive geopolitical transformation unfolding across the region right now.
