About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the conflict on the American-led international order and the challenges posed by Iran and Israel's legal situation.

What’s at stake is the American-led international order. If the regime in Iran remains standing, it will have shown that the US can no longer guarantee that order. The good news, Mike and Gadi think, is that Trump fully understands this. This is not to say, however, that all the challenges can easily be overcome. Plus, Israel’s deep-state is reaching new level of legal surrealism.
