Is the war going well? - a debate between Dan Shapiro and Mark Dubowitz

4/13/2026
Subscribe to Inside Call me Back to listen to our 4-part series with Ronen Bergman. ____ Subscribe to Ark News Daily ____ According to a recent CBS / YouGov poll, 41% of Americans think that the war with Iran is going well, while 59% believe it is going badly. Can a war be won when the country fighting it doesn’t agree on whether it’s going well? As the U.S. moves to blockade the Strait of Hormuz following failed negotiations, the debate is no longer just about battlefield gains, it’s about strategy, legitimacy, and what success really means. Dan Senor brings together former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Shapiro and FDD CEO Mark Dubowitz for a good-faith debate on where the war stands and where it should go next. From military progress to political will, and from alliance dynamics to endgame scenarios, this conversation unpacks the fault lines shaping the American debate.

Why We Fight - with Micah Goodman

3/23/2026
Subscribe to Ark News Daily ____ Subscribe to Inside Call me Back ____ Are the stakes of the Iran war higher than Israelis understand? Micah Goodman joins Dan to try and understand the different narratives that drive this war: Iran’s war against the West, the Iranian people’s war of liberation, the United States’ paradoxical relationship with Israel, and China’s hegemonic fantasies. While Israelis are primarily concerned with guaranteeing their own safety, Micah argues that the war puts all these narratives to the test, and that the stakes of winning (or losing) the war may define the future of the balance of power around the world. In this episode: - The “Great Convergence”: Why This War Is Different - The U.S.-Israel Paradox - America First and MAGA (Can Israel’s Military Beat Conspiracy Theories?) - Trump’s War Doctrine: Strength Without Quagmire - The Global Stakes: China, Iran, and Deterrence - Zionism and the Bigger Meaning of This War This episode was sponsored by Hadassah.

3/19/2026
Subscribe to Ark News Daily ____ Subscribe to Inside Call me Back ____ Can the world’s most powerful militaries reopen the Strait of Hormuz…or is Iran already winning the economic war?

Iran’s Economic Warfare

Subscribe here to the What’s Your Number? podcast. ------- In a Call me Back bonus episode, we’re publishing this week’s episode of Ark Media podcast What’s Your Number, co-hosted by Yonatan Adiri and Yael Wissner-Levy. This week, despite recording between air-raid sirens and shelter runs, Yael and Yonatan break down Iran’s emerging strategy of economic warfare. Instead of matching Israel and the U.S. militarily, Iran appears to be targeting global pressure points—oil and gas infrastructure, fertilizer supply chains, financial hubs, AI data centers, and the Strait of Hormuz—to drive up global costs and force political pressure. The question: can this strategy actually move markets and reshape the conflict?

Almost two weeks into the conflict, the United States and Israel have laid waste to Iran’s external war capabilities. As the Pentagon signals the end of "Phase One," the focus shifts from destroying missile launchers to a much bigger question: can advanced technology and air superiority achieve what was once thought possible only with boots on the ground?

Iran's (buried) Uranium Treasure - with Amit Segal and Fred Kagan

3/10/2026
Subscribe here to Inside Call me Back ------- Please take 5 minutes to fill out Ark Media’s LISTENER SURVEY ____ Could a buried stockpile of uranium decide the outcome of the war with Iran? Dan is joined by Israeli journalist Amit Segal and military historian Fred Kagan to unpack reports that roughly 400 kilograms of uranium enriched to 60% may still be recoverable from a bombed Iranian nuclear site. They discuss why that level of enrichment matters, what it would take for U.S. or Israeli forces to extract the material, and why the race to secure it could shape the next phase of the war. The conversation also explores the broader campaign against the Iranian regime, the possibility of regime change, renewed Hezbollah attacks in northern Israel, and what Iran might look like if the current leadership collapses. In this episode: - The race to secure Iran’s buried 60% enriched uranium - Why 60% enrichment puts Iran close to nuclear weapons capability - What it would take for U.S. or Israeli forces to extract the material - The broader military campaign against Iran’s regime infrastructure - Netanyahu’s “surprises” and the strategy to destabilize the regime - Hezbollah’s renewed attacks on northern Israel - The rise of Mojtaba Khamenei and what it means for the regime - Could regime change in Iran trigger a civil war?
