You WON'T BELIEVE What Israeli Fighter Jets Just Did to Iran's Proxy Force

About this video

Max analyzes Israel’s Operation Eternal Darkness airstrikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon following a US-Iran ceasefire, describing the Israeli air platforms used and the strategic implications. He interviews Preston Stewart about lessons learned from the US-Iran conflict and the feasibility of a potential ground invasion. Max examines the geopolitical chess game around Iran’s proxies, the Strait of Hormuz restrictions, and whether further US military action is likely.

Key takeaways

• Max describes Israel’s use of F-35I, F-15I, and F-16I aircraft to strike over 100 Hezbollah targets in a 10-minute operation, which he characterizes as one of the hardest hits since 2024
• According to Preston Stewart’s analysis shared by Max, any US ground invasion of Iran would require significant troop buildup that cannot be concealed, and current force levels of around 50,000 personnel in the Middle East are far below what would be needed
• Max presents the strategic dilemma of whether the US should risk ground forces to fully open the Strait of Hormuz or maintain pressure through airpower and allowing regional partners like Israel to degrade Iranian proxy networks
