The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy Hardcover – July 25, 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
As the Biden Administration pines for a return to the ill-fated Iran nuclear deal, Tehran makes ready to consolidate its growing power in the Middle East at America's expense. For the last decade, Iran has consistently expanded its own reach and influence across the region—all while judiciously building up its military capabilities. As America looks for a way out of the Middle East and a return to the Obama-era nuclear agreement, Iran enhances the ability of its terrorist proxies, like Hezbollah in Lebanon or the Houthis in Yemen, to threaten the security of Israel and to destabilize the Saudi regime.
Each time the Biden Administration signals its willingness to negotiate with Iran, Iran gets more aggressive. In the words of one Saudi official, Iran is a "paper tiger with steel claws." These steel claws have extended to encompass the whole region, and they include Iran's growing arsenal of complex drones, precision-guided munitions, EMP weapons, and their nuclear weapons arsenal.
Thankfully, there is a path forward for the United States and the solution can be found in the policies outlined by the previous Trump Administration; in the form of the Abraham Accords and daring "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran. But time is not on America's side. Should President Biden continue down the destructive, illusory path to "peace" with Iran, he will not only have abandoned America's long-standing allies, but he will have also helped to trigger the very conflict he seeks to avoid. After all, as Ronald Reagan once quipped, world wars do not start "because America is too strong." They start because the United States is deemed too weak by its rivals.
In The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy, author Brandon Weichert explores how the next world war is unfolding right before our eyes and explains how the American government can avoid it while maintaining its position of strength and support for its allies.

About the author

Brandon J. Weichert is a geopolitical analyst who manages The Weichert Report: World News Done Right and lives by Herman Kahn's credo "I'm against fashionable thinking." Weichert is the author of the 2020 book, "Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower" (Republic Book Publishers) which trended as the #1 Military Policy book on Amazon for several months after its release. A favorite on the military lecture circuit, Weichert often serves as a Subject Matter Expert for the Defense Department where he talks space warfare strategies and technology policy. Dennis Prager described Winning Space as a "Truly important book." Weichert is the author of the 2023 #1 Amazon Bestseller "Biohacked: China's Race to Control Life" (Encounter Books), which Steven K. Bannon says "cracked the code" on China's master plans for global domination. Weichert travels the country speaking to various audiences on geotechnology matters and has been described as a "panic-and-anxiety-producing scholar in the tradition of Herman Kahn: telling us what we do not want to hear but need to know about the gathering dangers imperiling our freedom and prosperity." In July 2023, Weichert's third book "The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy" (Republic Book Publishers) will be released. Daniel Pipes calls it an "ambitious book that explains how to avoid World War III." Weichert's work has been featured in The Washington Times, Real Clear Politics, National Review, and The Asia Times. He was previously a contributor at The American Spectator, where the late Rush Limbaugh praised his writing as well as for American Greatness, where his pieces on foreign and technology policy were widely distributed in the Trump Administration. In 2023, Weichert was made a Senior Editor at 19FortyFive.com. He is a former congressional staffer who splits his time between sunny Southwest Florida and bucolic Northern Virginia and is the happy husband of Ashley and proud father of Charlotte, Madison, (and forthcoming) Elizabeth.

Of rent seekers. The ignorant, illiterate, and emotional US voters are also to blame for the ridiculous leadership the US calls a government. Wake up instead of Woke up!
