Gadi Taub: Israel Iran War Explained and Why Deterrence Fails In this wide-ranging Quillette interview, Gadi Taub speaks with Pamela Paresky about Israel’s war aims, the threat of a nuclear Iran, and the collapse of long-standing assumptions in Western foreign policy. Taub argues that the goal of the current conflict is not simply to eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities, but to make the cost of pursuing them unbearable. He also examines the legacy of the Oslo Accords, the failure of deterrence-based thinking, and the deeper ideological divide between Western and Islamist worldviews. The conversation explores how postmodern and postcolonial ideas have shaped Western perceptions of conflict—often obscuring reality rather than clarifying it. Topics include: – Why regime change is difficult but still relevant – The strategic transformation of the Middle East – The failure of Oslo and the two-state paradigm – Palestinian political culture and the role of Hamas – Deterrence, escalation, and military doctrine – The influence of postmodernism on Western thinking This is a detailed and challenging discussion about war, ideology, and the limits of Western self-understanding. 00:00 – War aims and the limits of destroying nuclear programmes 01:00 – Why deterrence may not work with Iran 03:00 – How the Middle East strategic balance has shifted 05:00 – The problem with “living with a nuclear Iran” 07:00 – Zionism, academia, and the culture wars 10:00 – Civilisation vs barbarism: competing worldviews 12:00 – Nuclear deterrence and Western complacency 14:30 – Why avoiding war can lead to bigger wars 18:00 – Israel’s early military doctrine vs modern strategy 22:00 – Deterrence, escalation, and US–Israel alignment 25:00 – Internal tensions: politicians vs military leadership 29:00 – The “gatekeepers” and democratic accountability 33:00 – Oslo explained: demographics vs security 37:00 – The collapse of the “concept” on October 7th 42:00 – Palestinian society, education, and ideology 47:00 – Civilian casualties and urban warfare comparisons 50:00 – Why Oslo failed in practice 55:00 – Gaza disengagement and its consequences 59:00 – West Bank risks and security realities 01:05:00 – The West’s tendency to blame itself 01:10:00 – Postmodernism, Foucault, and truth 01:15:00 – Identity politics and the depoliticisation of identity 01:20:00 – Why Zionism is uniquely targeted 01:24:00 – What the West gets wrong—and what must change
