MEK and Regime Change in Iran
What is the overall objective in this war between Iran and Israel?
PTS podcast host Joy Votrobek is joined by ASCF senior analyst and returning guest, Col. (Ret.) Pete McIlwain. Col. Pete leads us through information on Operation Rising Lion and the challenges to an Regime Change in Iran. Col. Pete shares information that is not typically reported in the mainstream media. He touches on sources that suggest the nuclear attack may not have been as successful as Israel and the U.S. would like to claim. He also brings up the MEK (Iranian Mujahideen-e Khalq), who have been fighting against the Shia Theocracy in Iran since 1979. He states sources who suggest the MEK were on the ground in Iran as the operational and intelligence arm of Mossad and possibly funded by the CIA. They end by questioning what Iran will do now that they have lost their proxy arms in the Middle East.
Pete's notes will be available as an article on our website shortly. Please check back soon at www.ascf.us. Sign up for our newsletter for notifications.

The American Security Council Foundation was founded in 1958. It successfully launched a Peace Through Strength Coalition with bipartisan support from over 200 members of Congress and more than 160 national organizations and individuals. One of those members was President Ronald Reagan. Reagan thanked the ASCF for its work on a "Peace Through Strength" strategy that helped end the Cold War. The ASCF is an educational, nonpartisan, non-profit 501(c)(3). Please help continue our mission by donating at www.ascf.us/donate/.
