Will tensions with Iran cause a US-Israel rift?

WATCH: “True East” with Doron Spielman, Ep. 10

With Iran racing toward nuclear capability, Israel may soon face a fateful choice: act alone militarily or risk existential peril.

Host Doron Spielman—IDF Spokesperson (Res.) and New York Times bestselling author of When the Stones Speak—is joined by Michael Oren, former Israeli ambassador to the United States, for a discussion on the growing divide between Washington and Jerusalem over how to stop the Iranian threat.

Oren lays out the stark geopolitical reality—one in which America’s interests may not align with Israel’s urgency. He and Spielman also explore the high cost of U.S. military aid; the consequences of Israeli dependence on American backing; and whether a bolder, more independent Israeli defense doctrine is needed.

Topics discussed include:

  • How U.S. interests differ from Israel’s on Iran

  • What a unilateral Israeli strike could mean for the alliance

  • The future of American military aid to Israel

  • Strategic clarity vs. diplomatic ambiguity

  • Lessons from past Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities

“We will keep litigating until we get to the truth,” Randy Mastro told JNS, after oral arguments in New York County Supreme Court. “I’m sure the court will hear us when these procedural issues are behind us.”
Forum HaGevura (“The Heroism Forum”) warned in the letter, a copy of which the group provided to JNS, that Hamas was exploiting the fact that Israel stopped taking the initiative in Gaza.
“I’m seeing what’s going on in New York,” Stav Cohen, founder of the Israeli nonprofit Frontline Advocates, told JNS. “I fear for my speakers’ lives.”
“If you’re going to do that kind of act in that area, at that time, you’re more than likely, if you’re going to kill somebody, to kill a Jew,” Michael Trager told the Daily Wire.
