Former Israeli National Security Adviser Prof. Jacob Nagel joins Mideast Horizons for a wide-ranging conversation on the war with Iran, unprecedented US-Israel cooperation, the role of AI on the battlefield, and the future of the Middle East. With Asher Fredman and Lahav Harkov, he discusses how Israel and the United States are coordinating across intelligence, air power, logistics, and “science-fiction” technologies – and shares what victory against Iran could look like.
In the first segment of this episode, Lahav and Asher share insights on the potential timeline of the Iran war, the ayatollah regime’s survival strategy, Israel’s resilience, and why serious people should not go on Piers Morgan’s show.
