Why does religious faith decide who wins wars in the Middle East? Former Marine intelligence officer and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter argues the "axis of resistance," Israeli hardline politics, and US Christian Zionism are all shaped by deep, often overlooked religious conviction — and that Western policymakers consistently misread it.
In this episode of Deep Dive Perspective, Scott Ritter draws on his own intelligence background preparing for a potential US-Iran conflict in the 1980s, explaining how Shia theology and the concept of martyrdom rooted in the Battle of Karbala shaped Iranian combat resilience. He traces how this same religious lens explains the rise of Hezbollah out of Amal's resistance to Israeli occupation, and the complicated, more recent alignment between Iran and Yemen's Ansarullah movement.
Ritter also discusses what he describes as the growing influence of religious hardliners within Israeli politics and the eschatological beliefs of Christian Zionism within parts of the US administration, arguing both distort strategic decision-making around the region. He is critical of US policymakers and institutions for failing to understand the ideology of adversaries, and offers his own view on which strands of religious extremism — across multiple faiths — he considers most dangerous to regional stability.
This episode contains strong personal opinions and characterizations of religious and political movements. These are presented as Scott Ritter's own analysis, not verified facts or the position of Deep Dive Perspective, and should be weighed against other reporting and primary sources.
