We discuss the Iran war, regional security, the limits of U.S. military options and the risks of a wider confrontation with Russia. We examine Israel’s security doctrine, its influence on U.S. politics and Jewish communities abroad, and the humanitarian toll of the war in Gaza.
We also discuss renewed attacks involving Yemen and Saudi Arabia, the strategic importance of the Red Sea and the limits of air power. We conclude with a televised debate about the Iran war and competing historical comparisons to the Second World War.
