What happens when a wounded enemy isn't defeated but simply waiting for its next opportunity? In this provocative episode of the True East podcast, IDF Spokesman (Res.) Doron Spielman explores one of history's most dangerous military mistakes: stopping a war too soon. Drawing powerful parallels between ancient Rome's failure to finish Carthage, the aftermath of World War I and the current confrontation with Iran, this episode examines whether today's apparent victories could become tomorrow's disasters. Viewers will learn the historical patterns that shape Israel's strategic thinking, why weakened adversaries can be more dangerous than strong ones and the critical question policymakers face today: has Iran merely been hurt, or has it truly been changed? The answer may determine whether the Middle East is moving toward lasting peace...or simply preparing for the next war.
