Generation Jihad

FDD's Long War Journal

The war against Islamic Jihadism is defining generations. It was our father’s war, it’s our war, and will most likely be our children’s war. The FDD' s Long War Journal team has been researching and reporting for over two decades on the jihadists fueling this terror. “Generation Jihad” features LWJ Editor Bill Roggio as he diagnoses the black and white motivations behind the world’s most notorious terrorists, reports on their expanding malign activities, and offers prescriptions for confronting the multi-generational menace that is Islamic Jihadism.

    Iran's Choke Point

    Iran says it’s not in a rush to negotiate, but reality signals something else. Bill is joined by FDD senior fellow Miad Maleki — former U.S. Treasury sanctions architect — to break down why Tehran walked away from talks, what the Strait of Hormuz blockade is really doing, and why the regime may be under more pressure than at any point since 1979.
