Niall Ferguson and Dexter Filkins: Who Will Win the Israel-Iran War?

Bari Weiss discusses the early days of the Israel-Iran war with historian Niall Ferguson and journalist Dexter Filkins. They examine Israel's primary goal of ending Iran's nuclear program, the tactical challenges of destroying the deeply buried Fordow facility, and whether the U.S. will provide bunker-busting bombs. Ferguson argues that Israel's attack restores Western credibility at a moment when U.S. and allied resolve is being tested by China. The conversation also explores the possibility that the war could topple the Iranian regime and the uncertain geopolitical aftermath.
