Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Much Ado About Iran – with Andrew Fox
Q: What would be the most viable path to de-escalation or a lasting deal?
A multi-faceted approach that ties economic pressure to diplomatic negotiations, and includes a concrete plan to manage or remove highly enriched uranium, while avoiding a broader military conflagration that could destabilize the region.
Much Ado About Iran – with Andrew Fox
Q: So what is your assessment on where things stand?
The situation appears to be a careful, calibrated escalation-and-deescalation cycle, with both sides signaling willingness to hold back certain actions while maintaining pressure, and Hezbollah complicates the alignment between Israel and Iran.
Israel’s Red Line – with Dr. Michael Oren
Q: What should be the back-channel requests to preserve Israel's security or maintain strategic independence?
Maintain total freedom to defend the northern part of the country against Hezbollah, insist on intelligence sharing and satellite access, and ensure any deal does not leave Iran empowered in key strategic regions like the Strait of Hormuz.
Israel’s Red Line – with Dr. Michael Oren
Q: Are you getting flashbacks to 2015 when the United States was negotiating with Iran and Israel was watching closely?
Yes, but this time I think Israel understands the situation more directly and the president's actions aren't excluding Israel from negotiations; the emphasis is on ensuring Israel's strategic red lines are addressed in any deal.
Antisemitism Has a Big Future – with Hussein Abubakr Mansour
Q: What can Americans do to counter this trend at the community level?
Engage in broad-based education, resist identity-based shortcuts, support independent, credible media and higher education reforms, and invest in creating alternative institutions that counteract biased narratives with rigorous analysis and transparent funding.
