Israel’s Strategy in a Shifting Middle East with Dr. Michael Koplow - The Iran-Israel War Part 1
Description
This episode of Global Insights is part one of our special two-part series on the Israel-Iran conflict.
What began as a diplomatic attempt to manage Iran’s nuclear ambitions escalated sharply on June 12, when Israel launched targeted airstrikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and military leaders—triggering open war between the two countries and drawing in the United States. Though a ceasefire is now in place, its stability remains uncertain.
To unpack the strategic calculations behind Israel’s actions and the evolving role of the United States, we speak with Dr. Michael Koplow, Chief Policy Officer at the Israel Policy Forum. What were Israel’s goals? Has it accomplished them? And how might this conflict—and its potential resolution—reshape the security landscape in the Middle East?
Listen to part two of this series later today, featuring Iranian journalist Tara Kangarlou on the civilian impact and public sentiment inside Iran.
