In this edition of the program, we are joined by Steve Jermy, a retired Royal Navy commodore, naval commander, offshore energy executive and strategic thinker.
Jermy commanded warships in the 5th Destroyer Squadron and served in Britain’s Fleet Air Arm. He took part in the Falklands War and served in the Adriatic during the Bosnian and Kosovo campaigns. He retired in 2007 after an operational tour as strategy director at the British Embassy in Afghanistan. He is the author of Strategy for Action: Using Force Wisely in the 21st Century and now works in the offshore energy sector, writing and consulting on geopolitics, warfare, economics and energy.
In this edition, we discuss US and Iranian war strategies, whether Washington’s troop deployments and military build-up amount to saber-rattling or signal preparations for an attack, and whether Iran’s retaliatory capabilities and missile power have deterred the United States from launching an all-out war. We also examine the significance of the Mecca Alliance’s visit to Iran for the Tehran talks. Jermy argues that the visit underscores the need for regional countries to take matters into their own hands without a US presence.
