What the Heck Is Israel's Strategy, Anyway? - William Spaniel



Israel is up to something in Iran, but the warpath it has taken so far is not straightforward. Today, we do a deep dive into how to construct nuclear weapons, where Iran presumably is on that path, and how it is shaping Israel's actions. The big bet is that Iran is far along in the program but not currently capable of sprinting toward a bomb. As such, Israel is taking its time to lower Iranian defenses before making a final play on Iran's nuclear facilities.
