Iran built its power on terror, missiles, and the threat of nuclear blackmail. The question now is whether the U.S. and Israel will finish the job—or leave behind an even more dangerous regime.

In this episode of EylON the Record, Eylon Levy speaks with Lt. Gen. Dick Newton, former Assistant Vice Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force and America’s first commander of the B-2 stealth bomber squadron, about the joint U.S.-Israeli campaign against Iran and what it will take to actually win. They discuss whether this is a synchronized allied operation or two parallel wars, what success against the Islamic Republic would really look like, and why stopping short could leave Israel, the United States, and the wider region facing an even greater threat.

In this episode:

Why the United States is so impressed with the Israeli Air Force as a "force multiplier" for American power

Why declaring victory too early could leave a wounded Iranian regime alive, angry, and more dangerous than before

Why a joint US-Israeli commando operation might be the only way to deal with the Iranian regime's enriched uranium

This conversation goes beyond the daily headlines to examine the real strategic stakes: deterrence, alliance credibility, regime survival, and the future balance of power in the Middle East. If Iran is left partially defeated but still intact, the costs will not stay local—they will shape American power, regional stability, and the global contest against the authoritarian axis.

🎯 Key moment:
“A half-done war is worse than no war at all.”
