Amos Yadlin has spent his life defending the State of Israel – first as a fighter pilot in the Israeli Air Force, later as deputy commander of the Israeli Air Force, and then as head of intelligence for the IDF – and now as a respected strategic thinker in Israel. Amos Yadlin was one of eight F-16 pilots who destroyed Iraq’s nuclear reactor in 1981. From 2006 to 2010, he helped oversee the 2007 Israeli strike that eliminated Syria’s covert nuclear facility and was head of military intelligence for the IDF during the cyber operations later revealed as Stuxnet in 2008.

He now heads Mind Israel, a national security and strategic think tank. This is a pivotal moment for the Middle East as the United States and Israel’s attack against Iran continues in its second week. With consequences for Iran, its government and people, the future of the Middle East, and the world – including critical oil prices and the global economy. We will talk about all things Iranian war, including the status on the ground, regime change, how the war ends, oil prices, its impact on the global economy, U.S. politics, global alliances, and great power rivalry.
