If the shooting stops, is the war actually over?
Dan is joined by Ark Media contributor and VP of the Hartman Institute Dr. Tal Becker to explore whether the next phase will be driven less by military action and more by political pressure, economic leverage, and shifting regional alliances.
They unpack why there’s no clear definition of “victory,” what dynamics the war has set in motion, and whether Israel and its partners can turn short-term gains into long-term strategic advantage, all while the nuclear threat continues to loom.
In this episode:
- 03:42 – Why there’s no agreed definition of victory in this war
- 04:48 – How to measure success through objectives, cost, and long-term dynamics
- 06:45 – What comes after the ceasefire and the possible paths forward
- 02:00 – How war can continue through pressure without direct combat
- 09:06 – The case for a regional alliance against Iran
- 11:09 – How Gulf states are reassessing their strategy
- 26:00 – What happens if Iran races toward a nuclear weapon
- 33:15 – The legal debate over justification, self-defense, and imminence
