Is President Trump actually going to pull the trigger, or just keep issuing threats while Iranian protesters die? Hosts Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum dissect Trump’s “wipe them off the face of the earth” rhetoric, argue over whether it signals real intelligence and imminent action, and zoom out to the bigger strategic gamble: Trump’s “Board of Peace” for Gaza, Turkey and Qatar on the inside, and a Syria policy that Ruthie calls fantasy-land while minorities are being slaughtered. What you’ll learn is the core tension shaping the region right now: how deterrence works when words race ahead of action, why “surgical force” can succeed and what Israel’s leadership can (and can’t) do when its closest ally is also its most unpredictable variable.
