This is Aiton Weinstein. And I'm Naura Menninger, and you're listening to Two Nice Jewish Boys. The world was a different place when we last met with the beloved Dr. Dan Shifton in March of this year.

Putin had just invaded Ukraine in a move that Dan called a self-defeat of Russia.

The US and Iran were on the verge of cutting a new deal that would have allowed Iran access to enormous funds

and normalize this barbaric regime among the nations.

And the PM of Israel was Naftali Bennett. Indeed,

many things can change in 10 months. Putin is still stuck in the muddy grounds of East Ukraine,

and there is no end in sight for this war. Europe is struggling with devastating inflation

and an energy crisis that threatens the very fabric of the Union.

And Iran became a strong ally of Putin with its UAVs killing innocent Ukrainians, thus leading

the West to back off a deal for the foreseeable future at least.

Iran is also currently dealing with what looks like the biggest

civil uprising in its history. To talk about all of these fascinating geopolitical developments

and much, much more, we're thrilled to be joined yet again by the one, the only, the purely

majestic Dr. Danjifton. Dan is the head of the National Security Study Center at the

University of Haifa. He has taught at the IDF National Security College and Command and Staff

College. He was an advisor to Israel's National Security Council and former prime ministers

Izhak Rabin and Ariel Sharon.

He's also the author of several books and articles on issues pertaining to Israel's

national security.

He joins us today for the third time to talk about the Iranian threat and much more.

The fourth or the fifth time, I think.

Fourth, the fifth, the sex.
