While President Trump has made multiple threats against the Islamic Republic’s regime due to its violent crackdown against protesters, the world still waits to see whether the United States will indeed follow through. Karim Sadjadpour, an analyst at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and Ark Media contributor Nadav Eyal join Dan to discuss what shape might an American attack take, whether it has in fact already started, how Iran might retaliate, and whether this could be the end of the Ayatollah regime.

In this episode...

- Under the communications shutdown, can we know what’s happening in Iran?

- Israel expects an American action… But of what kind?

- Is the Ayatollah regime crumbling?

- Is the United States already operating within Iran?

- Getting into the mind of the Supreme Leader

- How is Israel preparing?

- What should the West do?

- Understanding Reza Pahlavi’s role
