Joel Rayburn appears on the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s Radio National Breakfast to discuss the United States–Israel strikes on Iran. He highlights that the US had extended multiple off-ramps to Iran but realized Tehran was unwilling to engage in meaningful negotiations. He also notes that Iran’s security doctrine does not prioritize domestic defenses, so cannot sustain a prolonged high-intensity conflict.
