North Korea and Iran aren’t just headline threats. They’re partners in advancing weapons, defying sanctions, and destabilizing regions where U.S. forces and allies operate.
Join us on Wednesday, October 1 at Old Glory Distilling Co. (451 Alfred Thun Rd) for an in-depth discussion with Dr. Bruce E. Bechtol Jr., retired Marine, former DIA senior intelligence analyst, and current professor of political science.
Drawing on both battlefield intelligence and years of research, Dr. Bechtol will unpack his new book Rogue Allies: The Strategic Partnership between Iran and North Korea.
This is more than a lecture. It’s a chance to hear how these regimes cooperate on missiles, drones, and unconventional warfare, and what that means for America’s security interests.
- Doors open at 5:00 PM
- Discussion begins at 5:30 PM
- Free admission & free food
- Cash bar available
- Open to the public
