Is Iran’s Nuclear Program Damaged or Destroyed?
Bari Weiss gathers three experts to examine the aftermath of the U.S. strike on Iran's Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant. While official statements declare the mission a spectacular success that obliterated the program, investigative reporting suggests Iran may have moved critical nuclear material before the bombs fell. The conversation explores what is known, what is uncertain, and what comes next as the war expands, with Israel targeting the regime, Qatar closing its airspace, and Iran firing toward Qatar and Iraq. The episode asks whether the strike was a decisive blow or the opening of a wider regional conflict.
