Israel may be preparing to strike Iran’s nuclear program, with reports indicating a possible operation in the coming days. The IDF is on high alert, U.S. personnel are being repositioned, and regional powers are bracing for fallout.

Iran has pushed ahead with uranium enrichment, flouted international oversight, and continued its threats against Israel. As nuclear talks between the U.S. and Iran resume, Israeli leaders appear increasingly convinced that diplomacy won’t stop Tehran’s nuclear ambitions.

What exactly is Israel planning? Could a strike set off a broader war? And how would Iran respond?

Host Aviva Klompas speaks with Jonathan Conricus, former IDF spokesperson and senior fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, about what’s unfolding behind the scenes, what a military operation would look like, and what’s at stake for the region and the world.
