Middle East expert Jason Pack joins the Political No-Brainer Podcast to analyze the 2026 US-Israel war on Iran. Discover why the lack of strategic goals and congressional approval endangers American interests in this current conflict.
"We entered this military enterprise without... clearly defined strategic goals."
In this episode, Jason Pack distinguishes between the 2025 "12 Day War" and the joint US-Israeli military operation that began in late February 2026. He critiques the current administration for entering a military enterprise without clearly defined strategic goals, noting that tactical victories—such as the killing of 47 top Iranian officials—do not equate to a long-term solution . The conversation explores the legalities of the war under international and US law, the role of figures like JD Vance and Marco Rubio, and the necessity of rebuilding global coalitions.
"Order the disorder."
Jason Pack provides a roadmap for "ordering the disorder" through 21st-century global institutions and a shift toward a "radical center" in American politics.
