The Iran Conflict headlines dominate the news, but the media rarely explains the bigger global war taking shape behind the scenes. Discover how Iran, China, Russia, and information warfare fit into a broader geopolitical strategy that could reshape America's future.


Retired U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret Matt Tardio, host of the Speak the Truth Podcast, joins The P.A.S. Report to break down the Iran conflict, America's military objectives, and the growing alliance between America's adversaries. From the tactical realities of the Strait of Hormuz to the rise of information warfare and cognitive warfare, this conversation explores the strategic challenges that rarely receive serious media attention.
