In today’s fast-paced and emotionally charged digital world, social media can be both empowering and overwhelming for students, especially when issues related to identity, antisemitism, and current events dominate their social media feeds.

John Spencer, Chair of Urban Warfare Studies at West Point, joins guest host Casey Kustin, AJC’s Chief Impact and Operations Officer, to break down Israel’s high-stakes strike on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure and the U.S. decision to enter the fight.

In June 2025, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion—a preemptive strike on Iran’s nuclear and military sites—triggering a massive Iranian missile and drone attack that killed 30 Israeli civilians. The U.S. responded with precision airstrikes on Iran’s key nuclear facilities, leading to a ceasefire on June 23. AJC experts say the conflict reshaped regional dynamics, reaffirmed U.S.-Israel ties, exposed Iran’s isolation, and opened new possibilities for diplomacy, deterrence, and expanding the Abraham Accords.

Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has waged a decades-long campaign of violence against the United States, using terror proxies like Hezbollah and the Popular Mobilization Forces to target U.S. troops, diplomats, and civilians across the Middle East and beyond. This ongoing threat includes deadly attacks on U.S. bases in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, as well as missile strikes like the June 23, 2025, assault on Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, in retaliation for U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites. Iran’s continued use of asymmetric warfare and support for regional proxies underscores its persistent goal to expel the U.S. from the region and advance its nuclear and missile programs.

American Jewish Committee (AJC), the global advocacy organization for the Jewish people, thanks President Donald Trump for taking historic and decisive military action against the threat of a nuclear Iran and praises the United States Military servicemembers who carried out these strategic, limited, and targeted strikes against the Iranian regime’s nuclear sites.

Since Israel launched Operation Rising Lion—a precise and defensive military campaign aimed at preventing the Iranian regime from acquiring nuclear weapons—Iran has responded with a barrage of ballistic missiles and drones, indiscriminately targeting Israeli civilians. Dr. Matthew Levitt, director of the Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, explains what’s at stake—and what could come next.

Israel’s war of self-defense against the Iranian regime - the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism - erupted into open conflict last week after a stunning IAEA report that confirmed that Iran was much closer to obtaining nuclear weapons than previously known.

Former Israeli hostage Shoshan Haran, abducted during the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023, shares her harrowing story of survival and resilience.

While she and the other women and children were released after 50 days in November 2023, Tal remained in Gaza for 505 days and was released in February 2025.

In his State of the Union address, President Joe Biden is expected to highlight key accomplishments during his first term in office and make the case for his re-election.
