Iran’s Nuclear Program and Israel’s Red Line – with Dr. Michael Oren

Iran’s Nuclear Program and Israel’s Red Line – with Dr. Michael Oren

Author: Boundless Israel, Inc. December 23, 2024 Duration: 25:51

For decades, Iran has advanced its nuclear ambitions, circumventing sanctions and ignoring global condemnation. Now, with Hamas’s military largely dismantled in Gaza, Hezbollah weakened, and Syria’s Assad regime faltering, the Islamic Republic finds itself on the back foot.

With only weeks remaining before Trump takes office, Tehran may see its window closing and feel compelled to make a final push toward a nuclear weapon.

How close is Iran to the bomb? Will Israel act to stop it? And where does the United States stand if preemptive action becomes inevitable?

Aviva Klompas speaks with Dr. Michael Oren—historian, former Israeli Ambassador to the United States, and one of the sharpest voices on Israel’s security and foreign policy.
