Following Israel’s launch of its unprecedented Operation Rising Lion, former IDF Spokesperson Lt. Col. (Ret.) Jonathan Conricus engaged with Fox News Digital to provide his assessment of the operation’s impact. As a Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Co-Founder of “BottomLine Media”, Conric, who has previously served in high-level military and strategic roles, brings considerable expertise to the discussion. He highlighted the potential reduction in Iran’s regional influence, signaling a significant shift in the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East. The operation, which Conricus described as historic, is believed to have dealt a major blow to Iran’s strategic footholds in the area.
