In this chapter, the speakers discuss whether Israel can survive if Iran acquires nuclear weapons, with conflicting opinions presented. The implications of Israel taking action against a nuclear Iran are explored, as well as the current state of Israeli society and the threat they face from Hamas and Hezbollah. The potential consequences of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon and its impact on regional stability are also discussed.
Iran’s regional role has changed post-October 7, but is Iran a bigger global threat than we think? In partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations, National Security Council and State Department veterans will debate in our Unresolved format Biden’s Iran diplomacy, Iran's use of proxies in the Middle East, its nuclear ambitions, and whether Iran now poses a threat to the global order.
