And how easily could Iran produce nuclear weapons? The discussion dives into: 🔴 The effectiveness of U.S. economic and military pressure 🔴 Why ideology—not just economics—drives the conflict 🔴 The role of Saudi Arabia and the broader Muslim world 🔴 Whether negotiations with Iran are even viable 🔴 A bold vision for a new Middle East, including expanded Abraham Accords Dr. Diker also explores the global stakes, from U.S. strategic interests to Israel’s existential concerns, and outlines what “winning” this conflict actually looks like.
