About this listen
Physics not trust drove JCPOA support
US arms buildup signals strike on Iran
Strike plans leave targets unclear
The time is now 8:00 PM in New York, I'm Noa Levi and this is the latest Israel Today: Ongoing War Report.
In the conflict with Iran and its Regional Proxies, a piece argues that support for the JCPOA was grounded not in trust of Tehran but in physics. In 2015, a consulting firm organized the “No Nukes for Iran Project” to support the JCPOA, the Iran nuclear deal, and did so because a negotiated framework constraining Iran’s nuclear activity mattered more than the fantasy alternative of total dismantlement on demand. The group raised and spent over $1 million to help advocate for the accord, building a broad-based coalition among American Jews and the public, including wavering Congressional Democrats. The article notes the deal was imperfect; it did not stop Iran's other regional activities or shut down its ballistic missile programs, and it was designed as a temporary arrangement that would sunset in a decade.
In US Policy Concerning Israel, a series of moves indicate rising US military readiness in the region. Admiral Brad Cooper briefed President Trump in a direct briefing; eight US aerial refueling aircraft arrived at Ben Gurion Airport; a squadron of F-22s was deployed to Ovda Airbase in southern Israel; another US destroyer was expected to arrive; and staff at the US Embassy in Israel were evacuated while American citizens were advised to leave on regular commercial flights. Taken together, the steps suggest the United States is edging closer to a military campaign, though many details remain unclear. In Israel, defense assessments are described as more concrete as officials monitor the situation. There are questions about when a strike might occur, how it would be carried out, what targets would be involved, and whether the aim would be to weaken the Iranian regime or to focus on Iran’s nuclear program and ballistic missiles.
