Is President Trump playing 4D chess with Iran, or pushing the Middle East to the brink?
Hosts Ruthie Blum and Mark Regev—both former advisers in the Prime Minister’s Office—unpack the behind-the-scenes diplomacy shaping the Iran crisis right now. Viewers will learn why Trump’s unpredictable strategy may actually be designed to corner the Iranian regime, how sanctions and military threats could trigger the collapse of Tehran’s power structure, and why Israel, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and even the World Cup are suddenly part of the equation. The conversation also dives into whether Trump risks repeating Obama-era mistakes and why Israelis are already preparing bomb shelters for the weekend.
