America Bombed Iran – with Dr. Michael Oren

America Bombed Iran – with Dr. Michael Oren

Author: Boundless Israel, Inc. June 22, 2025 Duration: 23:10

On the night of June 21, the United States launched direct military strikes on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure for the first time in history. Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan—long considered untouchable—were hit with precision by American forces. President Trump called the strikes a “spectacular military success” and declared that Iran’s key nuclear sites had been “completely and totally obliterated.”

Host Aviva Klompas is joined by Dr. Michael Oren, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States and one of the leading voices on U.S.–Israel strategy. Together, they explore what finally pushed the U.S. to act, whether this strike has truly neutralized the nuclear threat, how Iran is likely to respond, and whether America is prepared to go further if needed. 

This episode offers essential insight into one of the most consequential military decisions in decades—and what it means for the future of the Middle East.
