10 Years After the Deal, Iran is a Nuclear Threshold State (featuring Amb. Dan Shapiro)
About this episode
About the Episode
In 2015 while serving in the Obama administration, Dan Shapiro supported the Iran nuclear deal. Mark Dubowitz led the fight to stop it.
A decade later, Iran is a nuclear threshold state. The regime has enriched enough uranium for multiple bombs, deterrence has broken down, and Washington still hasn’t figured out how to stop a nuclear Iran.
Today, Mark and Dan are in the same strategic corner—not because the politics have shifted but because reality has.
And they're both asking the same question: With diplomacy failing and enrichment advancing, what’s next?
