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 now have full cooperation with Israel, and hopefully they will encourage Jewish or Israeli investment in Somaliland,” the president of the breakaway republic told reporters.
“We will continue to hunt down Hamas commanders and operatives, target its sources of funding and destroy its terrorist infrastructure,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz said.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said that the warning comes on the back of “various intelligence reports.”
