On June 13, 2025, Israel initiated a preemptive strike against Iran in order to prevent the Islamic Republic from developing nuclear weapons. This unprecedented and historic moment will likely shape the Middle East for years to come.

Use this educator's guide to unpack this episode of Unpacking Israeli History with Dr. Noam Weissman and special guest Yaakov Katz. Educators can use the podcast in two ways:

  1. As background to better understand the moment themselves before facilitating student discussions.
  2. Alongside the accompanying lesson plan, using the linked clips and prompts to help students process and discuss this major development.
