Episode Notes:

Ankit sits down with Eric Brewer to unpack the events of the 12-Day War in June 2025, when Israel and the United States launched strikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities in Operations Rising Lion and Midnight Hammer. They discuss what it would take for Iran to rebuild its nuclear program, the factors that might shape Tehran’s decision to pursue a bomb, and how to think about the future of the Iranian nuclear challenge.
