Joel Rayburn appears on Israel TV7 to discuss how the Islamic Republic of Iran has suffered major setbacks and lost many of its leaders and military assets, but has yet to concede defeat. He explores questions about a failure of deterrence, arguing that what takes place now is the challenge of compellence. He notes that President Donald Trump sounds determined to pursue his key goals, especially making sure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons.
