No Intel and No US Strategy” Following Iran Attack on Saudi Oil Facilities - Beyond the Matrix

Rod Reuven Dovid Bryant and Jerry Gordon bring back Dr. Stephen Bryen, former Reagan-era Defense official, premier Washington -based military technology expert and Asia Times columnist to discuss the impacts of the Iran-backed attack on Saudi oil processing facilities and fields. Bryen contends that the US was caught off guard with "No Intel, No Plans and No Strategy" to contend with ‘rogue Iranian Revolutionary Guards who had long planned for launch of such an attack likely from proxy Shi’ite militia in Iraq. Only Israel with its superb intelligence, stealth aircraft and drones has struck at Iranian proxies and assets in Lebanon, Syria and Iraq. The US, Saudi and Gulf partners do not want to trigger a regional war which would escalate with a US strike on Iranian oil production. Moreover, there is Congressional negative push back on Saudi behavior in Yemen.
A fascinating and informative show that is a MUST LISTEN!
