America’s Long War with Iran and the Rapid Evolution of Modern Warfare
Hennen outlines how Iran has targeted American interests for decades through the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs), proxy militant groups, and other indirect warfare tactics across the Middle East. He warns that the battlefield is evolving at an astonishing pace, with modern warfare advancing at what he calls “warp speed,” forcing nations to adapt quickly to new threats and technologies.
To provide deeper insight, Hennen welcomes retired Major General Michael J. Haugen to the program. Haugen reflects on previous conflicts in the Middle East and explains how the nature of war has shifted dramatically over time. From unconventional tactics used by militant groups to the broader geopolitical stakes in the region, the discussion highlights the challenges facing American military strategy in a rapidly changing global landscape. The conversation delivers a powerful look at national security, military history, and the future of warfare.
