• Pry talks about the vulnerabilities facing America’s dwindling missile defense system and nuclear triad: “Our own triad is so obsolete.

• Ben Weingarten talks about the prospects of a renewed nuclear deal between the United States and Iran: “I think simply put Iran deal 2.0 will be Iran deal 1.0 on steroids. It appears that one of the major stipulations of this agreement will be removing the terrorism designation from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard core, the jihadist army of Iran.”
