Did the Iran war solve the problem, postpone it or make it worse?
That fundamental debate has emerged over the outcome of the war with Iran. The campaigns degraded Iran's military infrastructure, but it also ended with a new, possibly more dangerous Supreme Leader in power, Iran controlling the Strait of Hormuz, and Iran’s nuclear capability largely intact.
Dan is joined by former Israeli Military Intelligence chief Tamir Hayman and FDD CEO Mark Dubowitz to discuss whether the war was a strategic success, a missed opportunity, or an unfinished chapter in a conflict that is far from over.
Listen to Mark’s podcast, The Iran Breakdown with Mark Dubowitz.
In this episode:
- What is the most likely outcome of the U.S.-Iran negotiations
- What were the tactical achievements of the US and Israeli attacks?
- Was the war strategically worth it?
- Can and will Trump still finish the job?
- Was the plan to have Kurds help topple the Iranian regime credible?
- Was Ahmadinejad a realistic replacement candidate?
- How formidable a foe is Mojtaba Khamenei?
- Is Iran more dangerous today than before the war?
