    -------

    This is a sneak peek from this week’s members-only Inside Call me Back, which started a special three-part series on Israel’s shadow war with Iran.

    The current campaign against Iran is just one chapter in a much longer war that has been taking place in the shadows for over three decades. This is the story of that war.

    In this first installment, Ronen Bergman tells Dan about the first stage of the war: from the intelligence that led to the discovery of the nuclear program to Mossad’s assassinations of Iran's nuclear scientists, to groundbreaking cyber warfare. But did it work?

    Can the world’s most powerful militaries reopen the Strait of Hormuz…or is Iran already winning the economic war?

    Eighteen days into Operation Epic Fury, Iran is increasing its pressure on the world’s energy supply chain. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively under lockdown, oil flows have slowed to a trickle, prices are rising, and the risk of broader escalation is growing. Ark Media contributor Nadav Eyal joins Dan to break down why America and Israel’s military superiority hasn’t been enough to reopen the strait, what Israel’s latest strike on Iran’s energy infrastructure signals, and whether the current campaign is quietly setting the stage for regime change.

    In this episode:

    - 18 Days Into War: Where Things Stand

    - Can the US reopen the Strait of Hormuz?

    - The consequences of Iran's selective-blockade

    - The World’s Tepid Response

    - Decapitating Iran’s Leadership

    - Is Regime Change the Endgame?

    - What does Joe Kent protest-quitting mean?
