Israeli intelligence says Washington has its “smoking gun”: Iran didn’t de-escalate, it escalated, with executions surging and reports putting the death toll in the tens of thousands. In this episode you’ll learn how the regime’s crackdown may be even worse than the headlines (including shocking claims about body bags and possible chemical weapons), why the world’s outrage seems selectively switched on and how Davos optimism about a “new Gaza” collides with the uncomfortable reality that Hamas could still be standing. The conversation rips into the incentives-vs-ideology trap, the Qatar/Saudi pressure politics and the dangerous fantasy that you can “economic-plan” your way out of jihadist warfare. It then ends with a blunt moral gut-check: if we can see a massacre in real time, what does it say that we still look away?
