Is the region ready for an Israel-Iran war? Is the U.S. ready?

What is the state of readiness of the IDF for such a war?

Is Israeli society ready for such a war?

Could such a war be avoided? What would de-escalation look like?

One of those Israelis joins us for this episode. Haviv Rettig Gur of the the Times of Israel returns to the podcast.
