Boots on the Ground | Iran Tightens Grip On Hormuz; U.S. Strikes ISIS; Syria To Fight Hezbollah? | Boots On The Ground | June 25, 2026
  • Iran is celebrating
  • 00:00:06.830 --> 00:00:08.131
  • And mocking the united states of america, stating,
  • 00:00:08.131 --> 00:00:11.534
  • We brought trump to his knees.
  • 00:00:11.534 --> 00:00:14.137
  • The secret quotes
  • 00:00:14.571 --> 00:00:15.905
  • From tehran are revealed,
  • 00:00:15.905 --> 00:00:17.841
  • And behind the scenes
  • 00:00:17.841 --> 00:00:19.509
  • It turns out that iran
  • 00:00:19.509 --> 00:00:21.244
  • Was furious over trump's threats
  • 00:00:21.244 --> 00:00:23.713
  • That ended the direct talks
  • 00:00:23.713 --> 00:00:25.782
  • And is now trying
  • 00:00:25.782 --> 00:00:27.117
  • To paint itself
  • 00:00:27.117 --> 00:00:28.318
  • As the victorious side
  • 00:00:28.318 --> 00:00:30.120
  • Against the west.
  • 00:00:30.120 --> 00:00:32.188
  • And that's all put
  • 00:00:32.622 --> 00:00:34.157
  • On a surprised face,
  • 00:00:34.157 --> 00:00:35.825
  • As if we didn't know.
  • 00:00:35.825 --> 00:00:37.727
  • It has been revealed
  • 00:00:38.194 --> 00:00:39.662
  • That qatar is helping iran
  • 00:00:39.662 --> 00:00:41.631
  • Financially and militarily
  • 00:00:41.631 --> 00:00:43.566
  • And in practice is saving
  • 00:00:43.566 --> 00:00:45.435
  • The revolutionary guards
  • 00:00:45.435 --> 00:00:47.237
  • From complete collapse.
  • 00:00:47.237 --> 00:00:49.405
  • The same actor
  • 00:00:49.739 --> 00:00:50.640
  • That mediates between washington
  • 00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:52.709
  • And tehran is once again
  • 00:00:52.709 --> 00:00:54.277
  • Revealed as a double agent
  • 00:00:54.277 --> 00:00:55.979
  • In the middle east.
  • 00:00:55.979 --> 00:00:57.413
  • And at the same time,
  • 00:00:57.914 --> 00:00:59.382
  • The united nations
  • 00:00:59.382 --> 00:01:00.683
  • Has launched an operation
  • 00:01:00.683 --> 00:01:02.485
  • To evacuate more than 11,000
  • 00:01:02.485 --> 00:01:04.521
  • Sailors who got stuck
  • 00:01:04.521 --> 00:01:06.055
  • In the gulf region.
  • 00:01:06.055 --> 00:01:07.724
  • Behind the smiles
  • 00:01:08.158 --> 00:01:09.425
  • At the g7 summit,
  • 00:01:09.425 --> 00:01:10.693
  • The gulf states are being forced
  • 00:01:10.693 --> 00:01:13.062
  • To swallow the bitter
  • 00:01:13.062 --> 00:01:14.631
  • Pill of the agreement with iran.
  • 00:01:14.631 --> 00:01:17.167
  • And in the united states itself,
  • 00:01:17.800 --> 00:01:19.969
  • If the agreement fails,
  • 00:01:19.969 --> 00:01:21.538
  • Trump is already beginning
  • 00:01:21.538 --> 00:01:23.339
  • To roll responsibility towards vice president j.d. vance.
  • 00:01:23.339 --> 00:01:27.510
  • The diplomatic tension
  • 00:01:27.977 --> 00:01:29.412
  • Is reaching a boiling point.
  • 00:01:29.412 --> 00:01:31.381
  • I'm yair pinto, with me is mati shoshani,
  • 00:01:32.248 --> 00:01:34.384
  • And we are here
  • 00:01:34.384 --> 00:01:35.185
  • On boots on the ground,
  • 00:01:35.185 --> 00:01:36.452
  • We bring you the full truth
  • 00:01:36.452 --> 00:01:37.887
  • About what's happening here
  • 00:01:37.887 --> 00:01:39.289
  • In israel and also the full
  • 00:01:39.289 --> 00:01:40.757
  • Truth about what's happening
  • 00:01:40.757 --> 00:01:42.258
  • In our neighborhood,
  • 00:01:42.258 --> 00:01:43.326
  • The middle east.
  • 00:01:43.326 --> 00:01:44.394
  • So let's begin.
  • 00:01:44.761 --> 00:01:45.795
  • Because in washington,
  • 00:01:46.262 --> 00:01:47.530
  • There's a sharp political
  • 00:01:47.530 --> 00:01:48.998
  • Confrontation that just erupted.
  • 00:01:48.998 --> 00:01:50.900
  • The united states senate
  • 00:01:50.900 --> 00:01:52.502
  • Approved a resolution calling
  • 00:01:52.502 --> 00:01:54.404
  • For an end to the american
  • 00:01:54.404 --> 00:01:56.139
  • Military involvement
  • 00:01:56.139 --> 00:01:57.473
  • Against iran and a reduction of the american presence
  • 00:01:57.473 --> 00:02:00.910
  • In the middle east.
  • 00:02:00.910 --> 00:02:02.245
  • The resolution passed by a narrow majority of 50 against 48
  • 00:02:03.379 --> 00:02:07.617
  • After four republican senators
  • 00:02:07.617 --> 00:02:09.786
  • Voted with the democrats.
  • 00:02:09.786 --> 00:02:12.222
  • Trump attacked it harshly
  • 00:02:12.789 --> 00:02:14.390
  • And claimed that the move gives
  • 00:02:14.390 --> 00:02:16.392
  • Aid and comfort to the enemy
  • 00:02:16.392 --> 00:02:18.228
  • At the exact moment
  • 00:02:18.228 --> 00:02:19.462
  • When the united states is trying
  • 00:02:19.462 --> 00:02:21.531
  • To maintain pressure on tehran.
  • 00:02:21.531 --> 00:02:23.700
  • The resolution will probably
  • 00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:26.202
  • Remain symbolic,
  • 00:02:26.202 --> 00:02:27.270
  • But politically,
  • 00:02:27.270 --> 00:02:28.371
  • This is a blow to the president.
  • 00:02:28.371 --> 00:02:30.707
  • And on the ground,
  • 00:02:31.140 --> 00:02:32.275
  • Despite the talks of calm,
  • 00:02:32.275 --> 00:02:33.910
  • The united states is not moving.
  • 00:02:33.910 --> 00:02:36.179
  • Washington continues
  • 00:02:36.646 --> 00:02:37.847
  • To hold tens of thousands of soldiers and two aircraft
  • 00:02:37.847 --> 00:02:41.150
  • Carrier strike groups near iran,
  • 00:02:41.150 --> 00:02:43.119
  • Even after declaring
  • 00:02:43.119 --> 00:02:44.320
  • That the strait of hormuz
  • 00:02:44.320 --> 00:02:45.855
  • Will remain open and the negotiations will resume.
  • 00:02:45.855 --> 00:02:49.993
  • And this is where qatar
  • 00:02:50.493 --> 00:02:51.561
  • Comes into the picture.
  • 00:02:51.561 --> 00:02:52.962
  • According to a revelation
  • 00:02:53.529 --> 00:02:55.365
  • By a foreign
  • 00:02:55.365 --> 00:02:56.232
  • Intelligence organization,
  • 00:02:56.232 --> 00:02:58.101
  • Qatar has helped
  • 00:02:58.101 --> 00:02:59.235
  • Iran financially
  • 00:02:59.235 --> 00:03:00.403
  • And militarily
  • 00:03:00.403 --> 00:03:01.404
  • Since the cancellation of the nuclear agreement
  • 00:03:01.404 --> 00:03:04.807
  • In 2018 and also
  • 00:03:04.807 --> 00:03:05.942
  • After the october 7th massacre.
  • 00:03:05.942 --> 00:03:08.745
  • It became a central channel of empowerment for the regime
  • 00:03:08.745 --> 00:03:12.215
  • And helped it bypass
  • 00:03:12.215 --> 00:03:13.449
  • The international sanctions.
  • 00:03:13.449 --> 00:03:15.952
  • In other words,
  • 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:17.253
  • While it is presented
  • 00:03:17.253 --> 00:03:18.621
  • As a mediator,
  • 00:03:18.621 --> 00:03:19.522
  • It is also strengthening
  • 00:03:19.522 --> 00:03:21.090
  • One of the central
  • 00:03:21.090 --> 00:03:22.292
  • Engines of the axis of evil.
  • 00:03:22.292 --> 00:03:25.028
  • In addition,
  • 00:03:25.361 --> 00:03:26.162
  • Secret recordings of ahmed vahidi
  • 00:03:26.162 --> 00:03:28.064
  • And other senior officials
  • 00:03:28.064 --> 00:03:29.632
  • In the revolutionary guards
  • 00:03:29.632 --> 00:03:31.267
  • Were revealed.
  • 00:03:31.267 --> 00:03:32.468
  • Vahidi is heard saying,
  • 00:03:32.969 --> 00:03:34.404
  • We brought president trump
  • 00:03:34.404 --> 00:03:36.072
  • To his knees.
  • 00:03:36.072 --> 00:03:37.507
  • We got what we wanted.
  • 00:03:37.507 --> 00:03:39.909
  • As usual,
  • 00:03:40.209 --> 00:03:40.810
  • The stupid west believes
  • 00:03:40.810 --> 00:03:42.478
  • It is getting something
  • 00:03:42.478 --> 00:03:44.113
  • From us in return.
  • 00:03:44.113 --> 00:03:45.448
  • Something that, of course,
  • 00:03:46.015 --> 00:03:47.984
  • Will not happen."
  • 00:03:47.984 --> 00:03:49.352
  • He also explained
  • 00:03:49.352 --> 00:03:50.720
  • That the strait of hormuz
  • 00:03:50.720 --> 00:03:52.689
  • Is a central pressure card.
  • 00:03:52.689 --> 00:03:55.024
  • Every violation,
  • 00:03:55.425 --> 00:03:56.492
  • Even a small one,
  • 00:03:56.492 --> 00:03:57.694
  • Will allow iran to threaten
  • 00:03:57.694 --> 00:03:59.595
  • Again to close the strait
  • 00:03:59.595 --> 00:04:01.364
  • And then trump and his people
  • 00:04:01.364 --> 00:04:03.433
  • Will agree to almost anything.
  • 00:04:03.433 --> 00:04:06.235
  • And why is this important?
  • 00:04:06.803 --> 00:04:08.638
  • Because this is exactly the way
  • 00:04:09.272 --> 00:04:11.107
  • That some regimes
  • 00:04:11.107 --> 00:04:12.141
  • In the middle east look
  • 00:04:12.141 --> 00:04:13.576
  • At the american moves,
  • 00:04:13.576 --> 00:04:14.911
  • Not as compromise
  • 00:04:14.911 --> 00:04:15.978
  • But as weakness.
  • 00:04:15.978 --> 00:04:17.380
  • While trump claims
  • 00:04:17.814 --> 00:04:19.082
  • That iran agreed
  • 00:04:19.082 --> 00:04:20.283
  • To nuclear oversight at the highest level and permanently,
  • 00:04:20.283 --> 00:04:24.354
  • Tehran is telling
  • 00:04:24.354 --> 00:04:25.555
  • A different story.
  • 00:04:25.555 --> 00:04:27.657
  • The new york times reported that despite the iranian denials,
  • 00:04:27.657 --> 00:04:31.694
  • The issue of the iaea,
  • 00:04:31.694 --> 00:04:33.196
  • The international atomic energy agency,
  • 00:04:33.196 --> 00:04:35.832
  • Inspector's visit came
  • 00:04:35.832 --> 00:04:37.333
  • Up in the talks including
  • 00:04:37.333 --> 00:04:39.068
  • The possibility of inspection
  • 00:04:39.068 --> 00:04:41.037
  • At almost any suspicious site
  • 00:04:41.037 --> 00:04:43.005
  • On a short notice.
  • 00:04:43.005 --> 00:04:44.440
  • But for now,
  • 00:04:44.774 --> 00:04:45.441
  • The battle of narrative
  • 00:04:45.441 --> 00:04:46.809
  • Continues and the iranians
  • 00:04:46.809 --> 00:04:48.378
  • Are already trying
  • 00:04:48.378 --> 00:04:49.479
  • To present the agreement
  • 00:04:49.479 --> 00:04:50.847
  • As their own victory.
  • 00:04:50.847 --> 00:04:52.415
  • Secretary of state marco rubio
  • 00:04:53.015 --> 00:04:54.884
  • Is trying
  • 00:04:54.884 --> 00:04:55.451
  • To calm the gulf states
  • 00:04:55.451 --> 00:04:56.853
  • And explain
  • 00:04:56.853 --> 00:04:57.520
  • That the agreement
  • 00:04:57.520 --> 00:04:58.588
  • With iran does not mean
  • 00:04:58.588 --> 00:04:59.989
  • That the united states
  • 00:04:59.989 --> 00:05:01.357
  • Is ignoring its proxies.
  • 00:05:01.357 --> 00:05:03.226
  • According to him,
  • 00:05:03.659 --> 00:05:04.594
  • It is impossible to end
  • 00:05:04.594 --> 00:05:05.895
  • The confrontations in the region
  • 00:05:05.895 --> 00:05:07.730
  • As long as iran's proxies
  • 00:05:07.730 --> 00:05:09.165
  • Continue to launch missiles.
  • 00:05:09.165 --> 00:05:11.167
  • He also clarified that lebanese
  • 00:05:11.801 --> 00:05:14.303
  • Front must be separated
  • 00:05:14.303 --> 00:05:16.172
  • From the iranian file.
  • 00:05:16.172 --> 00:05:18.674
  • And in lebanon,
  • 00:05:19.041 --> 00:05:19.942
  • This is already becoming a test.
  • 00:05:19.942 --> 00:05:22.345
  • A new round of talks
  • 00:05:22.345 --> 00:05:23.713
  • Between israel
  • 00:05:23.713 --> 00:05:24.680
  • And the lebanese
  • 00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:25.782
  • Government opened
  • 00:05:25.782 --> 00:05:26.949
  • In washington,
  • 00:05:26.949 --> 00:05:27.850
  • Focused on pilot zones,
  • 00:05:27.850 --> 00:05:29.352
  • Areas where the lebanese
  • 00:05:29.352 --> 00:05:30.987
  • Army will have to prove
  • 00:05:30.987 --> 00:05:32.555
  • That it can take
  • 00:05:32.555 --> 00:05:33.623
  • Security responsibility
  • 00:05:33.623 --> 00:05:35.191
  • And prevent hezbollah terrorists
  • 00:05:35.191 --> 00:05:37.293
  • From returning.
  • 00:05:37.293 --> 00:05:38.694
  • This is exactly the pilot
  • 00:05:39.262 --> 00:05:40.530
  • That is angering
  • 00:05:40.530 --> 00:05:41.364
  • The terrorist organization.
  • 00:05:41.364 --> 00:05:43.466
  • And on the ground,
  • 00:05:43.900 --> 00:05:44.967
  • The idf continues to operate
  • 00:05:44.967 --> 00:05:46.602
  • Deep inside southern lebanon,
  • 00:05:46.602 --> 00:05:48.337
  • Where dozens of hezbollah
  • 00:05:48.337 --> 00:05:49.806
  • Terrorists are besieged
  • 00:05:49.806 --> 00:05:51.207
  • In an underground
  • 00:05:51.207 --> 00:05:52.208
  • Tunnel complex built
  • 00:05:52.208 --> 00:05:53.409
  • With iranian assistance.
  • 00:05:53.409 --> 00:05:55.378
  • And at the same time,
  • 00:05:55.878 --> 00:05:57.013
  • A possible blow
  • 00:05:57.013 --> 00:05:57.847
  • To hezbollah's drone array.
  • 00:05:57.847 --> 00:05:59.882
  • In lebanon,
  • 00:06:00.216 --> 00:06:01.117
  • There were reports of a mysterious fire
  • 00:06:01.117 --> 00:06:03.586
  • At a government
  • 00:06:03.586 --> 00:06:04.620
  • Communications facility
  • 00:06:04.620 --> 00:06:06.189
  • Where optical cables worth
  • 00:06:06.189 --> 00:06:07.957
  • Millions of dollars
  • 00:06:07.957 --> 00:06:09.258
  • Were being held.
  • 00:06:09.258 --> 00:06:10.693
  • Because of the global
  • 00:06:11.194 --> 00:06:12.595
  • Shortage of fiber optics,
  • 00:06:12.595 --> 00:06:14.297
  • Such a strike could disrupt
  • 00:06:14.297 --> 00:06:16.098
  • Hezbollah's fiber-guided
  • 00:06:16.098 --> 00:06:17.767
  • Drone program.
  • 00:06:17.767 --> 00:06:19.368
  • As you can see,
  • 00:06:19.735 --> 00:06:20.703
  • There's a lot ahead of us.
  • 00:06:20.703 --> 00:06:22.738
  • So let's dive into the details.
  • 00:06:22.738 --> 00:06:24.607
  • I'm yair pinto, with me is mati shoshani,
  • 00:06:24.607 --> 00:06:26.843
  • And we are here
  • 00:06:26.843 --> 00:06:27.677
  • On boots on the ground,
  • 00:06:27.677 --> 00:06:28.978
  • Bringing you the full truth
  • 00:06:28.978 --> 00:06:30.480
  • About what is happening
  • 00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:31.781
  • In israel and this war
  • 00:06:31.781 --> 00:06:32.982
  • Against the revolutionary guards
  • 00:06:32.982 --> 00:06:34.784
  • In iran,
  • 00:06:34.784 --> 00:06:35.852
  • Which is the head of the crumbling axis of evil
  • 00:06:35.852 --> 00:06:37.820
  • In the middle east.
  • 00:06:37.820 --> 00:06:38.955
  • And one second before we begin,
  • 00:06:39.589 --> 00:06:41.491
  • I want to call on you to continue in spreading the truth,
  • 00:06:41.491 --> 00:06:44.994
  • Share our content
  • 00:06:44.994 --> 00:06:46.062
  • With as many people as possible,

  • So that you will know how
  • 00:06:55.304 --> 00:06:56.873
  • To pray for the situation.
  • 00:06:56.873 --> 00:06:58.941
  • And now, we will go
  • 00:06:58.941 --> 00:07:00.109
  • To a short commercial break,
  • 00:07:00.109 --> 00:07:01.844
  • After which we will return
  • 00:07:01.844 --> 00:07:03.446
  • To you with a deep analysis of where this war is heading.
  • 00:07:03.446 --> 00:07:07.350
  • So don't go anywhere.
  • 00:07:07.350 --> 00:07:13.000
  • So don't go anywhere.
  • 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:17.481
  • And now,
  • 00:07:17.748 --> 00:07:18.382
  • Let's move
  • 00:07:18.382 --> 00:07:19.183
  • To a very important explainer
  • 00:07:19.183 --> 00:07:21.586
  • That i prepared especially
  • 00:07:21.586 --> 00:07:23.788
  • For you,
  • 00:07:23.788 --> 00:07:24.488
  • About the new innovations
  • 00:07:24.488 --> 00:07:26.490
  • That israel is bringing
  • 00:07:26.490 --> 00:07:28.392
  • Into this battlefield.
  • 00:07:28.392 --> 00:07:30.661
  • So don't go anywhere.
  • 00:07:30.661 --> 00:07:32.096
  • There are moments
  • 00:07:32.530 --> 00:07:33.798
  • When the biggest headline
  • 00:07:33.798 --> 00:07:35.666
  • Hides the real story.
  • 00:07:35.666 --> 00:07:37.969
  • This week,
  • 00:07:38.269 --> 00:07:39.003
  • Everyone was talking about iran,
  • 00:07:39.003 --> 00:07:41.405
  • About the impossible agreement,
  • 00:07:41.405 --> 00:07:43.641
  • About the strait of hormuz,
  • 00:07:43.641 --> 00:07:45.610
  • About lebanon,
  • 00:07:45.610 --> 00:07:46.644
  • And about the threat
  • 00:07:46.644 --> 00:07:48.145
  • That hezbollah still
  • 00:07:48.145 --> 00:07:49.680
  • Holds over israel.
  • 00:07:49.680 --> 00:07:51.515
  • But inside all of that noise,
  • 00:07:51.515 --> 00:07:54.585
  • One very unusual claim
  • 00:07:54.585 --> 00:07:56.988
  • About how it happened,
  • 00:07:56.988 --> 00:07:59.390
  • Came out of tehran.
  • 00:07:59.390 --> 00:08:01.525
  • Israel, according
  • 00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:02.994
  • To the revolutionary guards,
  • 00:08:02.994 --> 00:08:04.729
  • Used ballistic missiles that were launched from an aircraft.
  • 00:08:04.729 --> 00:08:09.300
  • Israel has not confirmed
  • 00:08:09.834 --> 00:08:11.569
  • Any of this.
  • 00:08:11.569 --> 00:08:12.903
  • And we need to say that clearly
  • 00:08:12.903 --> 00:08:15.006
  • From the beginning,
  • 00:08:15.006 --> 00:08:16.273
  • Because we do not know what
  • 00:08:16.273 --> 00:08:18.142
  • Exact weapon was launched
  • 00:08:18.142 --> 00:08:19.877
  • From which aircraft,
  • 00:08:19.877 --> 00:08:21.245
  • From which area,
  • 00:08:21.245 --> 00:08:22.313
  • Or along what route.
  • 00:08:22.313 --> 00:08:23.781
  • But precisely
  • 00:08:24.148 --> 00:08:25.082
  • Because it is not confirmed,
  • 00:08:25.082 --> 00:08:27.151
  • And precisely because the claim
  • 00:08:27.151 --> 00:08:29.420
  • Is coming from the iranian side,
  • 00:08:29.420 --> 00:08:31.756
  • We need to stop and understand
  • 00:08:31.756 --> 00:08:33.991
  • What stands behind this term.
  • 00:08:33.991 --> 00:08:36.160
  • Because if iran chooses
  • 00:08:36.661 --> 00:08:38.529
  • To speak publicly
  • 00:08:38.529 --> 00:08:39.897
  • About this kind of weapon,
  • 00:08:39.897 --> 00:08:41.966
  • It may be trying to explain
  • 00:08:41.966 --> 00:08:44.101
  • To its own people how
  • 00:08:44.101 --> 00:08:45.803
  • Israel managed to strike.
  • 00:08:45.803 --> 00:08:47.838
  • But at the same time,
  • 00:08:48.339 --> 00:08:49.874
  • It also exposes what worries
  • 00:08:49.874 --> 00:08:51.976
  • Tehran the most, the possibility
  • 00:08:51.976 --> 00:08:54.345
  • That israel's air force
  • 00:08:54.345 --> 00:08:56.113
  • No longer has to enter
  • 00:08:56.113 --> 00:08:57.815
  • Deep into the iranian airspace
  • 00:08:57.815 --> 00:09:00.051
  • In order
  • 00:09:00.051 --> 00:09:00.718
  • To strike deep inside iran.
  • 00:09:00.718 --> 00:09:03.020
  • This is not just
  • 00:09:03.421 --> 00:09:04.155
  • Another missile.
  • 00:09:04.155 --> 00:09:05.856
  • It is a different way of thinking about an airstrike.
  • 00:09:05.856 --> 00:09:14.899
  • For years,
  • 00:09:15.199 --> 00:09:16.000
  • We have been used to imagining
  • 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.436
  • An air force that is operated
  • 00:09:18.436 --> 00:09:20.771
  • In a fairly simple way.
  • 00:09:20.771 --> 00:09:23.074
  • A plane takes off, penetrates
  • 00:09:23.074 --> 00:09:25.176
  • The enemy's territory,
  • 00:09:25.176 --> 00:09:26.744
  • Approaches the targets,
  • 00:09:26.744 --> 00:09:28.345
  • Releases a smart bomb,
  • 00:09:28.345 --> 00:09:29.880
  • And then returns to base.
  • 00:09:29.880 --> 00:09:32.416
  • But the capability that is being discussed now is different.
  • 00:09:32.416 --> 00:09:37.455
  • Here, the aircraft does not have to be directly over the target.
  • 00:09:37.455 --> 00:09:42.727
  • Sometimes, it does not even need
  • 00:09:42.727 --> 00:09:44.929
  • To get that close.
  • 00:09:44.929 --> 00:09:46.430
  • It becomes a mobile launcher
  • 00:09:47.031 --> 00:09:49.333
  • In the sky.
  • 00:09:49.333 --> 00:09:50.968
  • It releases a very fast weapon,
  • 00:09:50.968 --> 00:09:53.471
  • Which climbs upward,
  • 00:09:53.471 --> 00:09:55.072
  • Enters a ballistic
  • 00:09:55.072 --> 00:09:56.574
  • Or a semi-ballistic trajectory,
  • 00:09:56.574 --> 00:09:59.176
  • And then dives towards the target at a high speed.
  • 00:09:59.176 --> 00:10:03.881
  • For the enemy's air
  • 00:10:04.348 --> 00:10:05.516
  • Defensive systems,
  • 00:10:05.516 --> 00:10:06.617
  • This creates a much
  • 00:10:06.617 --> 00:10:07.785
  • Harder puzzle.
  • 00:10:07.785 --> 00:10:09.353
  • The launch point is not fixed.
  • 00:10:09.954 --> 00:10:11.922
  • The direction of the arrival
  • 00:10:12.523 --> 00:10:14.125
  • Can change.
  • 00:10:14.125 --> 00:10:15.493
  • The response window is short.
  • 00:10:15.493 --> 00:10:17.828
  • And the radars,
  • 00:10:18.195 --> 00:10:19.263
  • They need to understand
  • 00:10:19.263 --> 00:10:20.898
  • In real time what's going on, what exactly has been launched,
  • 00:10:20.898 --> 00:10:25.236
  • Where it came from,
  • 00:10:25.236 --> 00:10:26.570
  • Where it is going
  • 00:10:26.570 --> 00:10:27.805
  • To, and how many seconds remain
  • 00:10:27.805 --> 00:10:30.074
  • Before impact.
  • 00:10:30.074 --> 00:10:31.275
  • There is almost no open
  • 00:10:31.776 --> 00:10:33.511
  • Operational experience
  • 00:10:33.511 --> 00:10:35.179
  • In the world
  • 00:10:35.179 --> 00:10:36.080
  • That can teach us much
  • 00:10:36.080 --> 00:10:37.681
  • About this field.
  • 00:10:37.681 --> 00:10:39.583
  • Ground-launched ballistic
  • 00:10:40.151 --> 00:10:41.552
  • Missiles exist
  • 00:10:41.552 --> 00:10:42.319
  • In many countries.
  • 00:10:42.319 --> 00:10:43.621
  • Cruise missiles exist
  • 00:10:43.621 --> 00:10:44.922
  • In many militaries.
  • 00:10:44.922 --> 00:10:46.557
  • But a ballistic missile or a semi-ballistic weapon launched
  • 00:10:46.557 --> 00:10:50.561
  • From an aircraft at high speed
  • 00:10:50.561 --> 00:10:52.630
  • From a long range
  • 00:10:52.630 --> 00:10:53.831
  • Against a deep target,
  • 00:10:53.831 --> 00:10:55.399
  • That's a different world.
  • 00:10:55.399 --> 00:10:57.935
  • Very few countries
  • 00:10:58.369 --> 00:10:59.570
  • Have capabilities like this,
  • 00:10:59.570 --> 00:11:01.472
  • Or anything close to this.
  • 00:11:01.472 --> 00:11:03.574
  • And even fewer are willing
  • 00:11:04.141 --> 00:11:06.043
  • To talk about them.
  • 00:11:06.043 --> 00:11:08.612
  • So the story here is not only
  • 00:11:09.246 --> 00:11:11.382
  • What israel may have done.
  • 00:11:11.382 --> 00:11:13.851
  • The story is why such a capability changes the way
  • 00:11:13.851 --> 00:11:17.288
  • That iran, hezbollah,
  • 00:11:17.288 --> 00:11:18.756
  • And even the regional air
  • 00:11:18.756 --> 00:11:20.524
  • Defensive systems must think
  • 00:11:20.524 --> 00:11:22.493
  • About the skies.
  • 00:11:22.493 --> 00:11:24.161
  • So to understand this, we need
  • 00:11:24.161 --> 00:11:26.030
  • To begin
  • 00:11:26.030 --> 00:11:26.664
  • With a simple difference.
  • 00:11:26.664 --> 00:11:28.199
  • A cruise missile usually fires
  • 00:11:28.799 --> 00:11:31.235
  • From a small aircraft.
  • 00:11:31.235 --> 00:11:33.404
  • It can fly low,
  • 00:11:33.404 --> 00:11:34.405
  • It can change route,
  • 00:11:34.405 --> 00:11:35.706
  • It can try to bypass the radars.
  • 00:11:35.706 --> 00:11:38.309
  • Its advantage is sophistication
  • 00:11:38.309 --> 00:11:40.845
  • And maneuverability.
  • 00:11:40.845 --> 00:11:42.813
  • Its disadvantage is that in many
  • 00:11:43.447 --> 00:11:46.250
  • Cases it is slower.
  • 00:11:46.250 --> 00:11:48.219
  • A ballistic missile,
  • 00:11:48.686 --> 00:11:50.054
  • By contrast, takes a higher
  • 00:11:50.054 --> 00:11:51.922
  • And faster trajectory.
  • 00:11:51.922 --> 00:11:53.924
  • It does not wander
  • 00:11:54.358 --> 00:11:55.526
  • On its way to the target.
  • 00:11:55.526 --> 00:11:57.261
  • It arrives with great energy
  • 00:11:57.862 --> 00:12:00.497
  • In a short time
  • 00:12:00.497 --> 00:12:01.966
  • And often at a speed
  • 00:12:01.966 --> 00:12:03.901
  • And a steep angle of impact
  • 00:12:03.901 --> 00:12:06.470
  • That is very, very hard
  • 00:12:06.470 --> 00:12:08.706
  • To intercept.
  • 00:12:08.706 --> 00:12:10.875
  • Now, add the aircraft
  • 00:12:11.375 --> 00:12:12.943
  • Into this equation.
  • 00:12:12.943 --> 00:12:14.678
  • A regular ballistic missile
  • 00:12:15.279 --> 00:12:17.248
  • Is launched from the ground even
  • 00:12:17.248 --> 00:12:19.583
  • If the launcher is mobile.
  • 00:12:19.583 --> 00:12:21.619
  • There is still a starting
  • 00:12:22.186 --> 00:12:23.520
  • Point of the ground.
  • 00:12:23.520 --> 00:12:24.955
  • But when that same idea
  • 00:12:25.456 --> 00:12:27.057
  • Moves into the air,
  • 00:12:27.057 --> 00:12:28.359
  • The aircraft itself
  • 00:12:28.359 --> 00:12:29.693
  • Determines the launch point.
  • 00:12:29.693 --> 00:12:31.829
  • It can launch from a different
  • 00:12:32.429 --> 00:12:34.732
  • Place each time.
  • 00:12:34.732 --> 00:12:36.066
  • It can approach
  • 00:12:36.433 --> 00:12:37.501
  • Up to a certain point,
  • 00:12:37.501 --> 00:12:39.103
  • Remain outside
  • 00:12:39.103 --> 00:12:40.104
  • The enemy's defenses
  • 00:12:40.104 --> 00:12:41.572
  • And air defenses envelope
  • 00:12:41.572 --> 00:12:43.340
  • And send the weapon forward.
  • 00:12:43.340 --> 00:12:45.843
  • The advantage here
  • 00:12:46.277 --> 00:12:47.778
  • Is not only range or speed.
  • 00:12:47.778 --> 00:12:50.748
  • It is mainly the uncertainty
  • 00:12:51.348 --> 00:12:53.484
  • That this method carries
  • 00:12:53.484 --> 00:12:55.386
  • On the other side.
  • 00:12:55.386 --> 00:12:57.955
  • And that uncertainty,
  • 00:12:58.455 --> 00:12:59.857
  • It matters especially
  • 00:12:59.857 --> 00:13:01.292
  • In the iranian arena.
  • 00:13:01.292 --> 00:13:03.227
  • Iran has built air
  • 00:13:03.661 --> 00:13:04.862
  • Defenses arrays around
  • 00:13:04.862 --> 00:13:06.330
  • Sensitive facilities, radars,
  • 00:13:06.330 --> 00:13:08.198
  • Surface-to-air missiles,
  • 00:13:08.198 --> 00:13:09.800
  • Batteries, detection sites,
  • 00:13:09.800 --> 00:13:11.602
  • Command and control systems.
  • 00:13:11.602 --> 00:13:13.604
  • It has also built depth,
  • 00:13:14.138 --> 00:13:15.973
  • Distance, facilities underground,
  • 00:13:15.973 --> 00:13:18.575
  • Infrastructure underneath
  • 00:13:18.575 --> 00:13:20.577
  • The mountains,
  • 00:13:20.577 --> 00:13:21.712
  • Production sites
  • 00:13:21.712 --> 00:13:22.947
  • And a missile network spread
  • 00:13:22.947 --> 00:13:25.149
  • Over a large
  • 00:13:25.149 --> 00:13:26.116
  • Territory of the country.
  • 00:13:26.116 --> 00:13:28.252
  • From tehran's point of view,
  • 00:13:28.852 --> 00:13:30.688
  • Distance is part of the defense.
  • 00:13:30.688 --> 00:13:32.957
  • But a weapon launched
  • 00:13:33.457 --> 00:13:35.125
  • From an aircraft at a long range
  • 00:13:35.125 --> 00:13:37.695
  • Attacks exactly this logic.
  • 00:13:37.695 --> 00:13:40.130
  • It tells the iranians, even
  • 00:13:40.731 --> 00:13:42.633
  • If you protect the airspace,
  • 00:13:42.633 --> 00:13:44.568
  • Even if you build a defensive
  • 00:13:44.568 --> 00:13:46.603
  • Ring around the target,
  • 00:13:46.603 --> 00:13:48.205
  • Even if you assume the aircraft
  • 00:13:48.205 --> 00:13:50.341
  • Will have to enter
  • 00:13:50.341 --> 00:13:51.608
  • The danger zone,
  • 00:13:51.608 --> 00:13:52.743
  • The threat may still come
  • 00:13:52.743 --> 00:13:54.478
  • From the outside
  • 00:13:54.478 --> 00:13:55.612
  • At a high speed from an angle
  • 00:13:55.612 --> 00:13:57.614
  • That you did not prepare
  • 00:13:57.614 --> 00:13:59.283
  • For with very little time
  • 00:13:59.283 --> 00:14:01.051
  • To respond.
  • 00:14:01.051 --> 00:14:02.353
  • This is why the iranian claim
  • 00:14:02.353 --> 00:14:04.188
  • Is so interesting right now.
  • 00:14:04.188 --> 00:14:06.390
  • It may be exaggerated.
  • 00:14:06.857 --> 00:14:08.659
  • It may not be technically precise.
  • 00:14:08.659 --> 00:14:11.261
  • But the iranians
  • 00:14:11.662 --> 00:14:12.997
  • May be using the phrase
  • 00:14:12.997 --> 00:14:14.898
  • Air-launched ballistic missiles
  • 00:14:14.898 --> 00:14:17.401
  • To describe a fast
  • 00:14:17.401 --> 00:14:18.902
  • Standoff weapon,
  • 00:14:18.902 --> 00:14:20.237
  • A semi-ballistic weapon
  • 00:14:20.237 --> 00:14:22.139
  • Or a supersonic weapon.
  • 00:14:22.139 --> 00:14:24.675
  • But even then, the choice of that term says something.
  • 00:14:24.675 --> 00:14:28.912
  • It means that the iranians
  • 00:14:29.480 --> 00:14:31.448
  • Are identifying a new problem,
  • 00:14:31.448 --> 00:14:33.684
  • Not only aircraft penetration,
  • 00:14:33.684 --> 00:14:35.919
  • But a strike
  • 00:14:35.919 --> 00:14:36.820
  • In which the aircraft
  • 00:14:36.820 --> 00:14:38.422
  • Stays further away
  • 00:14:38.422 --> 00:14:39.790
  • While the weapon
  • 00:14:39.790 --> 00:14:41.025
  • Does the dangerous work.
  • 00:14:41.025 --> 00:14:43.494
  • So over the years,
  • 00:14:43.927 --> 00:14:44.995
  • Several israeli systems
  • 00:14:44.995 --> 00:14:46.397
  • Have been linked to this world.
  • 00:14:46.397 --> 00:14:49.466
  • Rafael's rocks is described
  • 00:14:50.067 --> 00:14:52.169
  • As a long-range
  • 00:14:52.169 --> 00:14:53.370
  • Air-to-surface weapon designed
  • 00:14:53.370 --> 00:14:55.773
  • To hit high valuable targets
  • 00:14:55.773 --> 00:14:57.975
  • Even in gps-jammed environments.
  • 00:14:57.975 --> 00:15:01.445
  • Rampage, produced
  • 00:15:01.879 --> 00:15:03.213
  • By the elbit systems
  • 00:15:03.213 --> 00:15:04.815
  • And israel aerospace industries,
  • 00:15:04.815 --> 00:15:07.251
  • Is described
  • 00:15:07.251 --> 00:15:08.185
  • As a supersonic precise
  • 00:15:08.185 --> 00:15:10.020
  • Air-to-space weapon designed
  • 00:15:10.020 --> 00:15:12.222
  • To be launched from outside of the enemy's air defenses range.
  • 00:15:12.222 --> 00:15:17.494
  • And then there
  • 00:15:17.828 --> 00:15:18.962
  • Is the sparrow family,
  • 00:15:18.962 --> 00:15:20.731
  • Developed by rafael originally
  • 00:15:20.731 --> 00:15:23.133
  • As target missiles
  • 00:15:23.133 --> 00:15:24.568
  • For arrow missile defense tests,
  • 00:15:24.568 --> 00:15:27.071
  • Meaning missiles built
  • 00:15:27.071 --> 00:15:28.772
  • To simulate the enemy
  • 00:15:28.772 --> 00:15:30.474
  • Ballistic missiles.
  • 00:15:30.474 --> 00:15:32.976
  • We need to be precise here.
  • 00:15:33.577 --> 00:15:35.779
  • Not every one of these systems
  • 00:15:35.779 --> 00:15:38.615
  • Is necessarily
  • 00:15:38.615 --> 00:15:39.983
  • A ballistic missile.
  • 00:15:39.983 --> 00:15:42.352
  • In the classic sense,
  • 00:15:42.853 --> 00:15:44.388
  • Some are fast weapons,
  • 00:15:44.388 --> 00:15:45.989
  • Some are semi-ballistic,
  • 00:15:45.989 --> 00:15:47.691
  • Some are designed
  • 00:15:47.691 --> 00:15:48.926
  • For standoff launch,
  • 00:15:48.926 --> 00:15:50.394
  • Meaning they are fired
  • 00:15:50.394 --> 00:15:51.995
  • From a distance.
  • 00:15:51.995 --> 00:15:53.764
  • But from the enemy's
  • 00:15:54.231 --> 00:15:55.699
  • Point of view,
  • 00:15:55.699 --> 00:15:56.733
  • The question is not always
  • 00:15:56.733 --> 00:15:58.669
  • What the weapon is called
  • 00:15:58.669 --> 00:16:00.504
  • In the catalog.
  • 00:16:00.504 --> 00:16:02.005
  • The question is how
  • 00:16:02.005 --> 00:16:03.474
  • Fast it arrives,
  • 00:16:03.474 --> 00:16:04.708
  • How hard it is to detect
  • 00:16:04.708 --> 00:16:06.543
  • The launch point,
  • 00:16:06.543 --> 00:16:07.845
  • And how much time is left to intercept it before it explodes.
  • 00:16:07.845 --> 00:16:12.649
  • The example
  • 00:16:12.983 --> 00:16:14.218
  • That demonstrates this more than anything else is the strike
  • 00:16:14.218 --> 00:16:18.255
  • In doha.
  • 00:16:18.255 --> 00:16:19.590
  • According to american reports,
  • 00:16:19.590 --> 00:16:21.625
  • Israeli fighter jets launched
  • 00:16:21.625 --> 00:16:23.627
  • Missiles towards a target connected
  • 00:16:23.627 --> 00:16:26.063
  • To hamas leadership
  • 00:16:26.063 --> 00:16:27.364
  • In the capital of qatar, doha,
  • 00:16:27.364 --> 00:16:29.399
  • Along a route
  • 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:30.267
  • That passed over saudi arabia
  • 00:16:30.267 --> 00:16:32.269
  • Without entering
  • 00:16:32.269 --> 00:16:33.403
  • The airspace of the region,
  • 00:16:33.403 --> 00:16:35.305
  • According to those that reported
  • 00:16:35.305 --> 00:16:37.508
  • About the strike.
  • 00:16:37.508 --> 00:16:39.009
  • So eight f-15 aircraft
  • 00:16:39.009 --> 00:16:40.911
  • And four f -35 aircraft
  • 00:16:40.911 --> 00:16:42.946
  • Took part in the strike,
  • 00:16:42.946 --> 00:16:45.082
  • And the missiles traveled
  • 00:16:45.082 --> 00:16:47.351
  • A massive distance
  • 00:16:47.351 --> 00:16:48.952
  • From the red sea
  • 00:16:48.952 --> 00:16:50.354
  • To doha in qatar.
  • 00:16:50.354 --> 00:16:52.589
  • Israel did not confirm the type of the weapons that was used
  • 00:16:52.589 --> 00:16:56.126
  • In this attack either,
  • 00:16:56.126 --> 00:16:57.394
  • But the operational
  • 00:16:57.394 --> 00:16:58.562
  • Idea is clear.
  • 00:16:58.562 --> 00:16:59.897
  • Strike far away
  • 00:16:59.897 --> 00:17:01.098
  • Without being close.
  • 00:17:01.098 --> 00:17:03.133
  • Use the aircraft not only
  • 00:17:03.133 --> 00:17:04.935
  • As a platform that drops a bomb,
  • 00:17:04.935 --> 00:17:07.237
  • But as a platform
  • 00:17:07.237 --> 00:17:08.505
  • That brings the weapon
  • 00:17:08.505 --> 00:17:10.107
  • To a better launching point.
  • 00:17:10.107 --> 00:17:12.543
  • Technologically, this is a significant change.
  • 00:17:13.510 --> 00:17:16.613
  • Strategically, it is a message
  • 00:17:17.214 --> 00:17:19.249
  • To the entire region.
  • 00:17:19.249 --> 00:17:21.485
  • Doha was a test of range
  • 00:17:22.019 --> 00:17:24.288
  • And surprise.
  • 00:17:24.288 --> 00:17:25.722
  • Iran is a test of depth
  • 00:17:26.223 --> 00:17:28.225
  • And defense.
  • 00:17:28.225 --> 00:17:29.526
  • Because with qatar,
  • 00:17:29.993 --> 00:17:31.461
  • The question was how
  • 00:17:31.461 --> 00:17:33.063
  • Israel managed
  • 00:17:33.063 --> 00:17:34.198
  • To reach such a distant target.
  • 00:17:34.198 --> 00:17:37.234
  • With iran,
  • 00:17:37.534 --> 00:17:38.202
  • The question is bigger.
  • 00:17:38.202 --> 00:17:40.270
  • Can israel threaten deep targets
  • 00:17:40.270 --> 00:17:42.639
  • Inside a huge protected
  • 00:17:42.639 --> 00:17:44.374
  • Distant country without sending
  • 00:17:44.374 --> 00:17:46.710
  • Its aircraft into every layer of iranian air defense systems
  • 00:17:46.710 --> 00:17:51.148
  • And endangering them?
  • 00:17:51.148 --> 00:17:52.749
  • This is where the technology
  • 00:17:53.350 --> 00:17:55.219
  • Connects directly
  • 00:17:55.219 --> 00:17:56.386
  • To the current situation.
  • 00:17:56.386 --> 00:17:58.222
  • Iran is not only in a military
  • 00:17:58.822 --> 00:18:00.557
  • Campaign right now,
  • 00:18:00.557 --> 00:18:01.658
  • It is also
  • 00:18:01.658 --> 00:18:02.292
  • In a diplomatic campaign.
  • 00:18:02.292 --> 00:18:03.894
  • On one side, president trump
  • 00:18:04.494 --> 00:18:06.463
  • Is pushing for an agreement.
  • 00:18:06.463 --> 00:18:08.665
  • There is talk
  • 00:18:09.032 --> 00:18:09.933
  • About a temporary framework,
  • 00:18:09.933 --> 00:18:11.868
  • About 60 days of quiet,
  • 00:18:11.868 --> 00:18:13.437
  • About reopening of the strait of hormuz,
  • 00:18:13.437 --> 00:18:16.106
  • And about dealing
  • 00:18:16.106 --> 00:18:17.274
  • With enriched uranium.
  • 00:18:17.274 --> 00:18:19.476
  • On the other side,
  • 00:18:19.910 --> 00:18:21.078
  • Iran is still not behaving
  • 00:18:21.078 --> 00:18:22.813
  • Like a country
  • 00:18:22.813 --> 00:18:23.780
  • That is giving up its cards.
  • 00:18:23.780 --> 00:18:26.149
  • It is hardening its position,
  • 00:18:26.149 --> 00:18:27.918
  • Talking about conditions,
  • 00:18:27.918 --> 00:18:29.453
  • Demanding that lebanon
  • 00:18:29.453 --> 00:18:30.887
  • Be included
  • 00:18:30.887 --> 00:18:31.588
  • In the ceasefire agreement,
  • 00:18:31.588 --> 00:18:33.290
  • And declaring
  • 00:18:33.290 --> 00:18:34.524
  • That it will not abandon the terrorist organization hezbollah
  • 00:18:34.524 --> 00:18:37.894
  • In lebanon.
  • 00:18:37.894 --> 00:18:39.396
  • This is not a side that is just
  • 00:18:39.396 --> 00:18:41.832
  • Outside of the main agreement.
  • 00:18:41.832 --> 00:18:44.635
  • This is not a side detail.
  • 00:18:44.635 --> 00:18:46.336
  • This is the whole picture.
  • 00:18:46.336 --> 00:18:47.704
  • Iran's foreign
  • 00:18:48.038 --> 00:18:48.939
  • Minister made clear
  • 00:18:48.939 --> 00:18:50.207
  • That ending the war must also
  • 00:18:50.207 --> 00:18:52.109
  • Include an israeli withdrawal
  • 00:18:52.109 --> 00:18:53.944
  • From lebanon,
  • 00:18:53.944 --> 00:18:54.745
  • And said that iran
  • 00:18:54.745 --> 00:18:55.912
  • Will not give up on hezbollah.
  • 00:18:55.912 --> 00:18:58.081
  • In other words,
  • 00:18:58.448 --> 00:18:59.416
  • Tehran is trying
  • 00:18:59.416 --> 00:19:00.651
  • To turn hezbollah into part of the price of this agreement.
  • 00:19:00.651 --> 00:19:04.988
  • You want quiet in hormuz?
  • 00:19:05.555 --> 00:19:06.990
  • You want the nuclear deal?
  • 00:19:07.557 --> 00:19:10.193
  • Then talk about lebanon as well.
  • 00:19:10.827 --> 00:19:13.030
  • Limit israel.
  • 00:19:13.397 --> 00:19:14.531
  • Leave us our favorite arm
  • 00:19:15.098 --> 00:19:16.867
  • Against the northern
  • 00:19:16.867 --> 00:19:18.302
  • Communities of israel.
  • 00:19:18.302 --> 00:19:20.304
  • And now,
  • 00:19:20.570 --> 00:19:21.204
  • The most important point.
  • 00:19:21.204 --> 00:19:23.440
  • A weapon like
  • 00:19:23.807 --> 00:19:24.875
  • This does not work alone.
  • 00:19:24.875 --> 00:19:27.177
  • It needs precise intelligence.
  • 00:19:27.778 --> 00:19:29.680
  • It needs aircraft
  • 00:19:30.113 --> 00:19:31.214
  • That is capable of carrying it.
  • 00:19:31.214 --> 00:19:33.717
  • It needs route planning.
  • 00:19:33.717 --> 00:19:36.253
  • It needs coordination
  • 00:19:36.253 --> 00:19:37.354
  • With other systems.
  • 00:19:37.354 --> 00:19:38.689
  • And sometimes,
  • 00:19:39.022 --> 00:19:40.190
  • It also needs a preliminary
  • 00:19:40.190 --> 00:19:42.492
  • Strike on detection
  • 00:19:42.492 --> 00:19:44.127
  • And air-defensive systems.
  • 00:19:44.127 --> 00:19:46.663
  • That's why when we hear
  • 00:19:47.164 --> 00:19:48.598
  • About strikes on the iranian
  • 00:19:48.598 --> 00:19:50.400
  • Air-defensive systems,
  • 00:19:50.400 --> 00:19:51.835
  • On the radars, on the launchers,
  • 00:19:51.835 --> 00:19:53.804
  • On military infrastructures,
  • 00:19:53.804 --> 00:19:55.539
  • We need to understand that these are not always separate events.
  • 00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:59.910
  • Sometimes, this is the way
  • 00:19:59.910 --> 00:20:01.378
  • To open a window.
  • 00:20:01.378 --> 00:20:02.979
  • First, you blind
  • 00:20:03.380 --> 00:20:04.448
  • The defensive systems.
  • 00:20:04.448 --> 00:20:06.316
  • Then, you damage its ability
  • 00:20:06.316 --> 00:20:07.884
  • To respond.
  • 00:20:07.884 --> 00:20:08.985
  • Then, you send a precise
  • 00:20:08.985 --> 00:20:10.587
  • Weapon towards the real target.
  • 00:20:10.587 --> 00:20:13.290
  • And that's also the difference
  • 00:20:13.890 --> 00:20:15.659
  • Between an operation
  • 00:20:15.659 --> 00:20:16.860
  • And a message.
  • 00:20:16.860 --> 00:20:18.061
  • An operation hits one target.
  • 00:20:18.061 --> 00:20:19.963
  • A message makes the enemy
  • 00:20:20.530 --> 00:20:22.466
  • Ask what else is exposed.
  • 00:20:22.466 --> 00:20:25.302
  • If iran understands
  • 00:20:25.769 --> 00:20:27.137
  • That missiles or fast weapons
  • 00:20:27.137 --> 00:20:29.306
  • Can arrive from an aircraft,
  • 00:20:29.306 --> 00:20:31.375
  • That's not directly
  • 00:20:31.375 --> 00:20:32.776
  • Above the target.
  • 00:20:32.776 --> 00:20:34.378
  • It has to rethink
  • 00:20:34.811 --> 00:20:36.246
  • The entire space.
  • 00:20:36.246 --> 00:20:38.048
  • It is no longer enough
  • 00:20:38.515 --> 00:20:39.850
  • To place an air-defense battery
  • 00:20:39.850 --> 00:20:41.752
  • Around the sensitive site
  • 00:20:41.752 --> 00:20:43.286
  • And might mark the familiar
  • 00:20:43.286 --> 00:20:44.921
  • Approach routes.
  • 00:20:44.921 --> 00:20:46.123
  • Iran must prepare for a threat
  • 00:20:46.723 --> 00:20:49.192
  • That can open from another angle
  • 00:20:49.192 --> 00:20:51.862
  • At a high speed with a launch
  • 00:20:51.862 --> 00:20:54.331
  • Shorter response time,
  • 00:20:54.331 --> 00:20:56.199
  • Much shorter response time.
  • 00:20:56.199 --> 00:21:00.737
  • This also puts pressure
  • 00:21:01.238 --> 00:21:02.539
  • On hezbollah,
  • 00:21:02.539 --> 00:21:03.273
  • A terrorist organization
  • 00:21:03.273 --> 00:21:04.641
  • In lebanon,
  • 00:21:04.641 --> 00:21:05.242
  • Because the same principle
  • 00:21:05.242 --> 00:21:06.676
  • Applies in the lebanese arena.
  • 00:21:06.676 --> 00:21:08.678
  • Even if the ranges
  • 00:21:09.112 --> 00:21:10.580
  • And the weapons are different,
  • 00:21:10.580 --> 00:21:13.049
  • A tunnel can hide fighters,
  • 00:21:13.049 --> 00:21:15.218
  • A warehouse can hide rockets,
  • 00:21:15.218 --> 00:21:17.554
  • A command post
  • 00:21:17.554 --> 00:21:18.722
  • Can move underground.
  • 00:21:18.722 --> 00:21:20.891
  • But if israel has the combination of intelligence,
  • 00:21:20.891 --> 00:21:24.861
  • Precision weapons,
  • 00:21:24.861 --> 00:21:26.296
  • And the ability
  • 00:21:26.296 --> 00:21:27.531
  • To strike quickly,
  • 00:21:27.531 --> 00:21:28.999
  • Then even underground
  • 00:21:28.999 --> 00:21:30.667
  • Infrastructures become vulnerable.
  • 00:21:30.667 --> 00:21:33.570
  • Iran built its axis of evil
  • 00:21:34.171 --> 00:21:35.806
  • Around the simple idea,
  • 00:21:35.806 --> 00:21:37.207
  • Keep the fire away from home.
  • 00:21:37.207 --> 00:21:39.409
  • Hezbollah in lebanon, hamas
  • 00:21:40.010 --> 00:21:41.878
  • In the gaza strip,
  • 00:21:41.878 --> 00:21:43.146
  • The houthis in yemen,
  • 00:21:43.146 --> 00:21:44.581
  • Militias in iraq and syria.
  • 00:21:44.581 --> 00:21:46.983
  • Each front is supposed
  • 00:21:47.451 --> 00:21:49.152
  • To keep israel busy,
  • 00:21:49.152 --> 00:21:50.687
  • Deter it, and push the war away
  • 00:21:50.687 --> 00:21:53.089
  • From tehran.
  • 00:21:53.089 --> 00:21:54.424
  • But over the past year,
  • 00:21:54.925 --> 00:21:56.493
  • Israel has been trying to break
  • 00:21:56.493 --> 00:21:58.595
  • That logic, not only
  • 00:21:58.595 --> 00:21:59.996
  • To chase iran's messengers,
  • 00:21:59.996 --> 00:22:01.898
  • But to strike the source,
  • 00:22:01.898 --> 00:22:03.600
  • The infrastructure,
  • 00:22:03.600 --> 00:22:04.935
  • And the systems
  • 00:22:04.935 --> 00:22:05.969
  • That connect all the fronts.
  • 00:22:05.969 --> 00:22:08.004
  • The capability attributed
  • 00:22:08.572 --> 00:22:10.040
  • To israel fits exactly
  • 00:22:10.040 --> 00:22:11.374
  • Into this picture.
  • 00:22:11.374 --> 00:22:12.676
  • It tells iran,
  • 00:22:13.009 --> 00:22:14.077
  • Distance is no longer enough,
  • 00:22:14.077 --> 00:22:16.279
  • Proxies no longer
  • 00:22:16.279 --> 00:22:17.614
  • Guarantee immunity,
  • 00:22:17.614 --> 00:22:19.115
  • And even if you try
  • 00:22:19.115 --> 00:22:20.550
  • To fortify your depth,
  • 00:22:20.550 --> 00:22:22.252
  • Israel will look
  • 00:22:22.252 --> 00:22:23.487
  • For a way to reach it.
  • 00:22:23.487 --> 00:22:25.455
  • This does not mean
  • 00:22:25.889 --> 00:22:26.857
  • That the war becomes simpler,
  • 00:22:26.857 --> 00:22:28.358
  • It means the opposite.
  • 00:22:28.358 --> 00:22:29.693
  • A weapon like this is expensive,
  • 00:22:30.327 --> 00:22:32.529
  • It's complex, it requires
  • 00:22:32.529 --> 00:22:34.297
  • A high level of intelligence,
  • 00:22:34.297 --> 00:22:36.333
  • It is not suitable
  • 00:22:36.333 --> 00:22:37.601
  • For every mission,
  • 00:22:37.601 --> 00:22:38.902
  • And it's not immune
  • 00:22:38.902 --> 00:22:40.237
  • To interception.
  • 00:22:40.237 --> 00:22:41.638
  • Advanced defensive systems
  • 00:22:42.205 --> 00:22:43.974
  • Can deal with fast threats,
  • 00:22:43.974 --> 00:22:45.809
  • Especially if they receive
  • 00:22:45.809 --> 00:22:47.577
  • Good early warning.
  • 00:22:47.577 --> 00:22:49.379
  • So, we must not turn this into a story of israeli magic.
  • 00:22:49.379 --> 00:22:53.550
  • This is not a technological fairytale.
  • 00:22:53.550 --> 00:22:56.820
  • It is a difficult, expensive,
  • 00:22:56.820 --> 00:22:58.688
  • Rare military capability
  • 00:22:58.688 --> 00:23:00.290
  • That only becomes meaningful
  • 00:23:00.290 --> 00:23:02.158
  • When it is connected
  • 00:23:02.158 --> 00:23:03.527
  • To a wider operational plan.
  • 00:23:03.527 --> 00:23:05.529
  • But even without exaggerating,
  • 00:23:06.129 --> 00:23:08.298
  • It is clear why iran is worried,
  • 00:23:08.298 --> 00:23:10.600
  • Because for years iran tried
  • 00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:12.602
  • To build layers of protection.
  • 00:23:12.602 --> 00:23:14.971
  • Distance, depth, tunnels, air
  • 00:23:15.605 --> 00:23:17.941
  • Defenses, and a ring of proxies.
  • 00:23:17.941 --> 00:23:20.777
  • Now, it sees
  • 00:23:21.111 --> 00:23:22.078
  • That israel is looking for a way
  • 00:23:22.078 --> 00:23:24.714
  • To take apart every
  • 00:23:24.714 --> 00:23:26.349
  • Layer separately.
  • 00:23:26.349 --> 00:23:27.851
  • An interim agreement can stop
  • 00:23:28.485 --> 00:23:30.654
  • The shooting for a few weeks,
  • 00:23:30.654 --> 00:23:32.822
  • It can reopen
  • 00:23:32.822 --> 00:23:33.823
  • The strait of hormuz,
  • 00:23:33.823 --> 00:23:35.392
  • It can calm the oil markets,
  • 00:23:35.392 --> 00:23:37.460
  • It could give president trump
  • 00:23:37.460 --> 00:23:39.663
  • A victory photo,
  • 00:23:39.663 --> 00:23:40.864
  • But it does not necessarily
  • 00:23:40.864 --> 00:23:42.899
  • Dismantle iran's
  • 00:23:42.899 --> 00:23:44.134
  • Missile program,
  • 00:23:44.134 --> 00:23:45.335
  • It does not necessarily
  • 00:23:45.335 --> 00:23:47.103
  • Disconnect hezbollah
  • 00:23:47.103 --> 00:23:48.638
  • From tehran,
  • 00:23:48.638 --> 00:23:49.539
  • And it does not necessarily
  • 00:23:49.539 --> 00:23:51.575
  • Answer the question of where
  • 00:23:51.575 --> 00:23:53.677
  • All the enriched uranium is,
  • 00:23:53.677 --> 00:23:56.279
  • Who touches it, and when.
  • 00:23:56.279 --> 00:23:58.281
  • And that's why israel cannot
  • 00:23:58.882 --> 00:24:00.584
  • Settle for the diplomatic
  • 00:24:00.584 --> 00:24:02.118
  • Statement alone.
  • 00:24:02.118 --> 00:24:04.754
  • We hope you enjoyed this report.
  • 00:24:05.388 --> 00:24:07.090
  • Now, we will go to a very short
  • 00:24:07.090 --> 00:24:09.059
  • Commercial break,
  • 00:24:09.059 --> 00:24:10.126
  • After which we will return
  • 00:24:10.126 --> 00:24:11.828
  • Right here to pray together
  • 00:24:11.828 --> 00:24:13.563
  • For the people of israel
  • 00:24:13.563 --> 00:24:15.098
  • And for god's will.
  • 00:24:15.098 --> 00:24:20.001
  • And for god's will.
  • 00:24:20.001 --> 00:24:24.369
  • Thank you very much
  • 00:24:24.836 --> 00:24:25.771
  • For coming back to us.
  • 00:24:25.771 --> 00:24:27.205
  • Since the beginning of this war,
  • 00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:30.208
  • I realized that this is not just
  • 00:24:30.208 --> 00:24:32.611
  • A political war.
  • 00:24:32.611 --> 00:24:34.179
  • This is not a war
  • 00:24:34.179 --> 00:24:35.547
  • Over economics.
  • 00:24:35.547 --> 00:24:37.382
  • This is a spiritual war.
  • 00:24:37.916 --> 00:24:39.751
  • Over one thing.
  • 00:24:40.118 --> 00:24:41.720
  • Over our hearts.
  • 00:24:42.120 --> 00:24:44.055
  • The enemy is launching attacks
  • 00:24:44.055 --> 00:24:45.991
  • Against israel to show
  • 00:24:45.991 --> 00:24:47.425
  • To the world that god
  • 00:24:47.425 --> 00:24:48.794
  • Is not faithful to his promises.
  • 00:24:48.794 --> 00:24:51.096
  • The promises that he made
  • 00:24:51.096 --> 00:24:52.531
  • In the bible to abraham,
  • 00:24:52.531 --> 00:24:53.899
  • To isaac, to jacob.
  • 00:24:53.899 --> 00:24:55.433
  • Promises that brought us,
  • 00:24:56.001 --> 00:24:58.236
  • The people of israel,
  • 00:24:58.236 --> 00:25:00.138
  • Back to the land of israel.
  • 00:25:00.138 --> 00:25:02.874
  • These plans came true,
  • 00:25:03.341 --> 00:25:04.943
  • And god is still faithful.
  • 00:25:04.943 --> 00:25:07.078
  • I see it every day
  • 00:25:07.512 --> 00:25:08.547
  • Since this war began.
  • 00:25:08.547 --> 00:25:10.382
  • The fact that we are winning
  • 00:25:10.382 --> 00:25:12.551
  • Against so many enemies,
  • 00:25:12.551 --> 00:25:14.452
  • Bigger armies, is just proof
  • 00:25:14.452 --> 00:25:16.655
  • That god is faithful.
  • 00:25:16.655 --> 00:25:18.557
  • And you know what also?
  • 00:25:19.057 --> 00:25:20.225
  • God wants us to talk to him,
  • 00:25:20.225 --> 00:25:22.360
  • To pray,
  • 00:25:22.360 --> 00:25:23.562
  • To ask him to be part of our struggles and of our lives.
  • 00:25:23.562 --> 00:25:27.766
  • So let's unite in prayer now.
  • 00:25:27.766 --> 00:25:29.467
  • Our father in heaven,
  • 00:25:29.968 --> 00:25:43.415
  • I translate this into english.
  • 00:25:44.015 --> 00:25:46.017
  • Our father in heaven,
  • 00:25:46.017 --> 00:25:47.252
  • Thank you that you
  • 00:25:47.252 --> 00:25:48.286
  • Are protecting our children,
  • 00:25:48.286 --> 00:25:49.921
  • The idf soldiers, our allies.
  • 00:25:49.921 --> 00:25:52.090
  • We are praying for wisdom
  • 00:25:52.090 --> 00:25:54.392
  • For our leaders,
  • 00:25:54.392 --> 00:25:55.894
  • For supernatural wisdom to deal
  • 00:25:55.894 --> 00:25:58.730
  • With all these negotiations
  • 00:25:58.730 --> 00:26:01.233
  • And all these situations.
  • 00:26:01.233 --> 00:26:03.835
  • We pray
