In this gripping conversation, Ambassador Michael Oren reframes the Iran conflict in stark terms: Israel fights for victory, its enemies fight simply to survive—and that changes everything. We explore whether this is a war that can be won or only managed, why Iran sits at the centre of every battlefield from Gaza to Lebanon, the limits of American support, and the resilience—and strain—within Israeli society after years of conflict. A sobering, deeply strategic look at a war redefining power, endurance and what “winning” even means.
