The Iranian Endgame – with Dr. Michael Oren

The Iranian Endgame – with Dr. Michael Oren

Author: Boundless Israel, Inc. October 29, 2024 Duration: 26:12

In the inaugural episode of Boundless Insights, host Aviva Klompas sits down with Dr. Michael Oren to discuss the long-standing threat Iran poses to Israel and the broader Middle East.

When we recorded this episode, Israel had not yet responded to Iran’s recent barrage of nearly 200 ballistic missiles, leaving the region in a state of uncertainty. Just hours later, Israel launched a significant strike, reportedly sending 100 planes over 1,000 miles to strike Iranian military sites.

Despite the fast-moving developments, this conversation remains as relevant as ever. Dr. Oren shares his expert insights into the enduring tensions between Israel and Iran, as well as the West’s ongoing attempts to placate the Iranian regime.

The episode also delves into the leak of classified U.S. documents outlining Israel’s planned attack. Dr. Oren, with his extensive diplomatic and security experience, sheds light on the potential implications of this breach.

Key Topics:

-
Iran’s shadowy role in the Middle East and its support of terrorist groups.
- The West’s reluctance to confront Iran directly, and how the 2015 Iran Deal set a -dangerous precedent for appeasement.
- Iran’s pursuit of nuclear weapons
- Iran’s efforts to build an Axis of Resistance alongside Russia and China
- The leak of top-secret U.S. military documents concerning Israel
