Why this deal makes the next war with Iran more likely

The US and Iran finalized phase one of talks this week. Israel was not in the room. In this episode of The Deep Dive, Shifra Jacobs (filling in for Jacob Laznik) is joined by Ezra Taylor, The Jerusalem Post's social media manager, for a roundup of a week that may shape the region for years. They unpack what the US-Iran deal actually contains, oil waivers, $12 billion in unfrozen Iranian assets, a reported $300 billion reconstruction fund, and Taylor's central argument that the deal makes the next war with Iran more likely, not less. They walk through research showing Hezbollah's October-7-style plans for the northern border have existed in broadcast form since at least 2012. Then they pivot to a string of antisemitic incidents across continents, Berlin, Haarlem, Manchester, Montreal, and what it tells us about a climate political leaders are still struggling to name.
