Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Israel's Attack on Iran | Allen Jackson Now | June 13, 2025
  • Good evening.
  • 00:00:04.763 --> 00:00:05.764
  • I'm alan jackson, and welcome to nashville.
  • 00:00:05.764 --> 00:00:08.433
  • While it may seem unsettling right now.
  • 00:00:08.433 --> 00:00:10.836
  • The world is a safer place tonight.
  • 00:00:10.836 --> 00:00:12.838
  • The iranian terrorists who who've
  • 00:00:12.838 --> 00:00:14.139
  • Been in charge of that country for decades,
  • 00:00:14.139 --> 00:00:16.441
  • Have been either killed
  • 00:00:16.441 --> 00:00:17.742
  • Or put in a place where they can no longer threaten humankind.
  • 00:00:17.742 --> 00:00:21.113
  • Israel did the job, and they quietly planned
  • 00:00:21.113 --> 00:00:23.315
  • The massive attack for months.
  • 00:00:23.315 --> 00:00:25.250
  • The united states was aware, and president trump
  • 00:00:25.250 --> 00:00:27.385
  • Is fully backing the continued mop up of what
  • 00:00:27.385 --> 00:00:29.821
  • Remains of iran's military and nuclear hideouts.
  • 00:00:29.821 --> 00:00:32.991
  • The ones that they've been
  • 00:00:32.991 --> 00:00:34.059
  • Claiming for years were built for domestic energy,
  • 00:00:34.059 --> 00:00:36.995
  • As if the rest of the world would buy
  • 00:00:36.995 --> 00:00:38.463
  • Into their rather primitive logic.
  • 00:00:38.463 --> 00:00:40.532
  • Knowing that iran has hundreds of years
  • 00:00:40.532 --> 00:00:42.367
  • Worth of oil to run anything it needs,
  • 00:00:42.367 --> 00:00:44.970
  • Well, the nukes were to threaten israel and the u.s.
  • 00:00:44.970 --> 00:00:47.606
  • And anyone else who stood in the path of their evil ways.
  • 00:00:47.606 --> 00:00:51.009
  • Iran, you remember, has been fueling its radical,
  • 00:00:51.009 --> 00:00:53.845
  • Radical offspring in gaza under the hamas banner.
  • 00:00:53.845 --> 00:00:57.716
  • And they've done the same with hezbollah and the houthis,
  • 00:00:57.716 --> 00:01:00.752
  • All of whom have been circling israel for years.
  • 00:01:00.752 --> 00:01:03.722
  • Hamas in particular, ran the october 7th attack
  • 00:01:03.722 --> 00:01:06.825
  • That killed innocent concert goers from throughout israel
  • 00:01:06.825 --> 00:01:09.995
  • And including american jews, as well.
  • 00:01:09.995 --> 00:01:12.597
  • We have two guests with us tonight.
  • 00:01:12.597 --> 00:01:14.466
  • Captain chuck nash
  • 00:01:14.466 --> 00:01:15.500
  • Is standing by
  • 00:01:15.500 --> 00:01:16.768
  • To talk us through the military moves, and tv engineer pinto,
  • 00:01:16.768 --> 00:01:20.438
  • Who is joining us from israel right now.
  • 00:01:20.438 --> 00:01:23.441
  • You're welcome.
  • 00:01:23.808 --> 00:01:26.344
  • Hey, alan. it's great to be here.
  • 00:01:26.344 --> 00:01:28.146
  • I was expecting to be
  • 00:01:28.146 --> 00:01:29.381
  • On your show next week when you were supposed to be in israel.
  • 00:01:29.381 --> 00:01:33.385
  • But the moment i'm coming to you from a bomb shelter,
  • 00:01:33.385 --> 00:01:37.455
  • Which is my children's bedroom, you know.
  • 00:01:37.455 --> 00:01:40.692
  • And is that one room in the house?
  • 00:01:40.692 --> 00:01:42.961
  • And every apartment
  • 00:01:42.961 --> 00:01:44.095
  • Is basically a bomb shelter for situation like this.
  • 00:01:44.095 --> 00:01:46.932
  • And i prepared a lovely shot outside overlooking jerusalem.
  • 00:01:46.932 --> 00:01:51.903
  • But then we received sirens, alarms of hundreds of ballistic
  • 00:01:51.903 --> 00:01:56.608
  • Missiles that were launched towards israel from iran.
  • 00:01:56.608 --> 00:02:00.979
  • And we already have several areas that were hit
  • 00:02:00.979 --> 00:02:03.815
  • By these missiles across israel, including tel aviv.
  • 00:02:03.815 --> 00:02:07.986
  • So i'm joining you tonight from, my kids bedroom,
  • 00:02:07.986 --> 00:02:12.457
  • Which is our bomb shelter, also in the house.
  • 00:02:12.457 --> 00:02:15.894
  • It's good to be here.
  • 00:02:15.894 --> 00:02:16.962
  • Well, it's good to have you.
  • 00:02:16.962 --> 00:02:17.896
  • I'd much rather be in the studio
  • 00:02:17.896 --> 00:02:19.231
  • With you in jerusalem, but i'm grateful for the time.
  • 00:02:19.231 --> 00:02:22.000
  • You know, it's
  • 00:02:22.000 --> 00:02:23.235
  • Been about 24 hours since that initial attack on iran began.
  • 00:02:23.235 --> 00:02:26.271
  • Can you tell us what it was like when you got the word
  • 00:02:26.271 --> 00:02:28.406
  • That they had actually begun the attack?
  • 00:02:28.406 --> 00:02:31.209
  • Yeah, definitely.
  • 00:02:31.643 --> 00:02:32.410
  • It was at 3 a.m..
  • 00:02:32.410 --> 00:02:34.613
  • We received weird sounds of alarms
  • 00:02:34.613 --> 00:02:38.450
  • On all of our mobile devices that woke the entire country up.
  • 00:02:38.450 --> 00:02:42.988
  • We had to rush to the bomb shelter,
  • 00:02:42.988 --> 00:02:45.690
  • And then we received updates
  • 00:02:45.690 --> 00:02:48.526
  • Of an israeli strike.
  • 00:02:48.526 --> 00:02:51.096
  • And not just one strike.
  • 00:02:51.096 --> 00:02:52.364
  • It was multiple waves of strikes that basically took care
  • 00:02:52.364 --> 00:02:57.202
  • And destroyed the iranian military installations
  • 00:02:57.202 --> 00:03:01.806
  • In parts of them, and also ballistic missiles
  • 00:03:01.806 --> 00:03:05.677
  • As well as antiaircraft
  • 00:03:05.677 --> 00:03:09.214
  • Defensive systems.
  • 00:03:09.648 --> 00:03:11.349
  • And on top of that,
  • 00:03:11.349 --> 00:03:12.884
  • Military leaders of the islamic republic of iran.
  • 00:03:12.884 --> 00:03:16.321
  • And i mean, in israel, you know, we felt actually very proud.
  • 00:03:16.321 --> 00:03:21.493
  • And as this was happening, as we were in the bomb shelters,
  • 00:03:21.493 --> 00:03:25.664
  • Thousands of reserve soldiers got the call
  • 00:03:25.664 --> 00:03:28.533
  • To return to their bases.
  • 00:03:28.533 --> 00:03:30.235
  • Many of my friends and the number of people
  • 00:03:30.235 --> 00:03:34.205
  • That actually appeared,
  • 00:03:34.205 --> 00:03:36.908
  • And i'm talking about after 600 days of war
  • 00:03:36.908 --> 00:03:40.078
  • And being called again and again to defend this country,
  • 00:03:40.078 --> 00:03:43.381
  • There were more than 100% to
  • 00:03:43.381 --> 00:03:46.251
  • The units of my fellow soldiers that
  • 00:03:46.251 --> 00:03:50.388
  • Appealed and joined and came even earlier
  • 00:03:50.388 --> 00:03:53.325
  • Than were supposed to to defend the country of israel.
  • 00:03:53.325 --> 00:03:56.528
  • So the people are very proud of this operation
  • 00:03:56.528 --> 00:04:00.999
  • That finally took matters into our own hands
  • 00:04:00.999 --> 00:04:05.437
  • And prevented iran from launching ballistic missiles
  • 00:04:05.437 --> 00:04:09.140
  • With a nuclear warhead on them towards the jewish state.
  • 00:04:09.140 --> 00:04:13.678
  • Although the reports.
  • 00:04:14.179 --> 00:04:15.814
  • On top of that, we hear this amazing story.
  • 00:04:15.814 --> 00:04:18.950
  • Yeah.
  • 00:04:18.950 --> 00:04:19.818
  • Go ahead.
  • 00:04:19.818 --> 00:04:20.318
  • No, you go ahead.
  • 00:04:20.318 --> 00:04:21.019
  • The amazing story.
  • 00:04:21.019 --> 00:04:24.122
  • No, no, i'm saying that the amazing story here
  • 00:04:24.122 --> 00:04:26.191
  • Is that the israeli mossad, the spy agency of israel,
  • 00:04:26.191 --> 00:04:30.895
  • Built this drone facility
  • 00:04:30.895 --> 00:04:34.232
  • On iranian soil
  • 00:04:34.232 --> 00:04:35.967
  • And use these drones and other weapons to destroy
  • 00:04:35.967 --> 00:04:39.537
  • The iranian military systems, the rockets, the missiles.
  • 00:04:39.537 --> 00:04:43.675
  • And at the same time that the air force carried out
  • 00:04:43.675 --> 00:04:46.911
  • That strike.
  • 00:04:46.911 --> 00:04:48.079
  • This is something from a james bond movie out in.
  • 00:04:48.079 --> 00:04:52.083
  • Well, it's remarkable the reports we're getting here
  • 00:04:52.083 --> 00:04:54.552
  • Say the strikes have hit both the iranian nuclear assets
  • 00:04:54.552 --> 00:04:58.256
  • And also of what's left of iran's air force
  • 00:04:58.256 --> 00:05:00.992
  • That iran's been able to fire off more of their attack drones
  • 00:05:00.992 --> 00:05:04.496
  • And apparently some missiles towards israel
  • 00:05:04.496 --> 00:05:06.564
  • And even tel aviv.
  • 00:05:06.564 --> 00:05:08.199
  • So there
  • 00:05:08.199 --> 00:05:09.401
  • Been any significant damage to israel from those missiles?
  • 00:05:09.401 --> 00:05:12.203
  • Well, so far, these missiles actually just landed
  • 00:05:13.238 --> 00:05:16.241
  • About a few minutes ago, as we call them. and,
  • 00:05:16.241 --> 00:05:21.012
  • We don't have the numbers yet.
  • 00:05:21.613 --> 00:05:23.848
  • It looks like iran is targeting the area,
  • 00:05:23.848 --> 00:05:28.119
  • Which is the military headquarters in tel aviv.
  • 00:05:28.119 --> 00:05:31.756
  • So they are aiming for the strategic location
  • 00:05:31.756 --> 00:05:35.126
  • Of the idf in tel aviv.
  • 00:05:35.126 --> 00:05:36.594
  • So far, we don't have any reports of casualties or deaths.
  • 00:05:36.594 --> 00:05:40.565
  • Only a little bit of damage,
  • 00:05:41.166 --> 00:05:43.134
  • But, i'm reporting you this from being in a bomb shelter,
  • 00:05:43.134 --> 00:05:47.105
  • As there is a second wave of missiles coming now
  • 00:05:47.105 --> 00:05:50.508
  • Towards israel.
  • 00:05:50.508 --> 00:05:51.776
  • So hopefully we'll be able to intercept the majority of them.
  • 00:05:51.776 --> 00:05:56.614
  • And then whatever comes will land in open places.
  • 00:05:56.614 --> 00:05:59.851
  • As we've seen in the past
  • 00:05:59.851 --> 00:06:01.586
  • When iran launched missiles against us.
  • 00:06:01.586 --> 00:06:04.322
  • I'm just grateful you're in a safe place right now.
  • 00:06:04.322 --> 00:06:07.225
  • But your prime minister has been up against
  • 00:06:07.225 --> 00:06:08.993
  • The kind of thing that happens in a democracy.
  • 00:06:08.993 --> 00:06:11.596
  • You know, there's support for him,
  • 00:06:11.596 --> 00:06:12.831
  • But there's also a lot of second guessing by certain sectors
  • 00:06:12.831 --> 00:06:16.167
  • Who thought he was not up to the job anymore.
  • 00:06:16.167 --> 00:06:18.770
  • Do you think the country
  • 00:06:18.770 --> 00:06:19.804
  • Will be more united after this attack on iran?
  • 00:06:19.804 --> 00:06:24.042
  • Yes. yes, definitely.
  • 00:06:24.542 --> 00:06:26.144
  • I think that the country of israel
  • 00:06:26.144 --> 00:06:27.645
  • Feels a lot more united and, proud to be israelis.
  • 00:06:27.645 --> 00:06:32.917
  • Now, after we carried out this strike and we are
  • 00:06:32.917 --> 00:06:37.222
  • I think that we felt for a few months now
  • 00:06:37.222 --> 00:06:40.825
  • That this war is just dragging itself
  • 00:06:40.825 --> 00:06:43.695
  • And we're unable to hit the head of the snake.
  • 00:06:43.695 --> 00:06:46.731
  • And we were just dealing with proxies.
  • 00:06:46.731 --> 00:06:49.200
  • May it be the houthis in yemen, or hamas or palestinian islamic
  • 00:06:49.200 --> 00:06:53.838
  • Jihad and other terrorist groups in this region
  • 00:06:53.838 --> 00:06:56.674
  • Without striking the orchestrators,
  • 00:06:56.674 --> 00:07:00.144
  • The planners and those that form these terrorist organization.
  • 00:07:00.144 --> 00:07:04.249
  • So finally, after years of warnings and threats,
  • 00:07:04.249 --> 00:07:08.820
  • I guess, this nuclear facility of iran,
  • 00:07:08.820 --> 00:07:12.056
  • We struck them and struck them hard.
  • 00:07:12.056 --> 00:07:14.659
  • And what i'm most proud to be an israeli and part of the idf.
  • 00:07:14.659 --> 00:07:19.631
  • I'm an officer in the idf as well, is that
  • 00:07:19.631 --> 00:07:22.734
  • Israel was able to conduct this strike surgically.
  • 00:07:22.734 --> 00:07:26.704
  • And when i say that, i mean that they weren't able to target
  • 00:07:26.704 --> 00:07:30.074
  • An apartment within a residential building.
  • 00:07:30.074 --> 00:07:33.044
  • And only strike is that the parliament that the islamic,
  • 00:07:33.044 --> 00:07:37.982
  • Revolutionary guards leader, officer or commander
  • 00:07:37.982 --> 00:07:41.786
  • Resided there without harming an entire neighborhood
  • 00:07:41.786 --> 00:07:45.857
  • Of iranian civilians?
  • 00:07:45.857 --> 00:07:48.026
  • Very important to say
  • 00:07:48.026 --> 00:07:49.561
  • That israel is not at war with the iranian people.
  • 00:07:49.561 --> 00:07:53.131
  • I love the iranian people.
  • 00:07:53.131 --> 00:07:54.566
  • I call on people to pray for them on a daily basis,
  • 00:07:54.566 --> 00:07:58.236
  • Because they need to get freed from this evil terrorist. you
  • 00:07:58.236 --> 00:08:03.575
  • Hear that is making their lives miserable.
  • 00:08:04.442 --> 00:08:07.979
  • And israel,
  • 00:08:08.313 --> 00:08:09.547
  • Throughout this war has shown
  • 00:08:09.547 --> 00:08:11.115
  • That they are not harming the civilians.
  • 00:08:11.115 --> 00:08:12.917
  • They are targeting the military sites and the leadership
  • 00:08:12.917 --> 00:08:16.988
  • Of these terrorist organizations.
  • 00:08:16.988 --> 00:08:18.823
  • Absolutely.
  • 00:08:18.823 --> 00:08:20.425
  • One more question and we'll let you go back to your family.
  • 00:08:20.425 --> 00:08:23.127
  • But i know it's early,
  • 00:08:23.127 --> 00:08:24.462
  • But do you and your colleagues in the military,
  • 00:08:24.462 --> 00:08:26.898
  • Can you imagine now a day when you don't have to wake up
  • 00:08:26.898 --> 00:08:28.933
  • Worrying about what the terrorist
  • 00:08:28.933 --> 00:08:30.401
  • Mullahs in iran are going to be doing to israel?
  • 00:08:30.401 --> 00:08:33.671
  • Yeah, i think that this day is coming,
  • 00:08:34.472 --> 00:08:36.040
  • And it's coming very close.
  • 00:08:36.040 --> 00:08:37.742
  • And i really hope to see
  • 00:08:37.742 --> 00:08:39.811
  • The iranians using the israeli strikes
  • 00:08:39.811 --> 00:08:43.214
  • And the weakened position of the islamic revolutionary guards
  • 00:08:43.214 --> 00:08:47.719
  • And the ayatollahs
  • 00:08:47.719 --> 00:08:49.053
  • To take matters and take back their countries,
  • 00:08:49.053 --> 00:08:52.357
  • To be their own.
  • 00:08:52.757 --> 00:08:53.825
  • So that we can have a peaceful
  • 00:08:53.825 --> 00:08:55.293
  • Relationship with the iranian people.
  • 00:08:55.293 --> 00:08:58.162
  • Well, yeah.
  • 00:08:58.496 --> 00:08:59.230
  • Please tell
  • 00:08:59.230 --> 00:09:00.298
  • Everyone we're praying for you, the entire country
  • 00:09:00.298 --> 00:09:02.367
  • And for the iranian people as well.
  • 00:09:02.367 --> 00:09:04.636
  • This is the ultimate battle between good and evil.
  • 00:09:04.636 --> 00:09:07.005
  • Good will win of that. i'm sure.
  • 00:09:07.005 --> 00:09:09.741
  • You take care of yourself and i hope to see you soon.
  • 00:09:09.741 --> 00:09:13.077
  • Definitely.
  • 00:09:13.077 --> 00:09:14.178
  • And that's not an excuse not to come to israel now.
  • 00:09:14.178 --> 00:09:16.814
  • And you need to find a like the minute
  • 00:09:16.814 --> 00:09:19.217
  • They return. as soon as they open
  • 00:09:19.217 --> 00:09:21.152
  • That airport, we'll work something out.
  • 00:09:21.152 --> 00:09:23.154
  • Thank you.
  • 00:09:23.154 --> 00:09:24.088
  • Okay. yes, sir.
  • 00:09:24.088 --> 00:09:26.524
  • Coming up next, captain chuck nash with details
  • 00:09:26.524 --> 00:09:29.761
  • On this very effective israeli military action taking place.
  • 00:09:29.761 --> 00:09:33.731
  • I'll be back in a moment.
  • 00:09:33.731 --> 00:09:42.003
  • I'll be back in a moment.
  • 00:09:42.003 --> 00:09:45.477
  • We're back now with captain chuck
  • 00:09:46.178 --> 00:09:47.880
  • Nash, a man who's seen plenty of war in his day.
  • 00:09:47.880 --> 00:09:51.183
  • And like a lot of us, he was well into his career.
  • 00:09:51.183 --> 00:09:53.686
  • When iran began going after our country
  • 00:09:53.686 --> 00:09:56.121
  • By storming the us embassy in tehran
  • 00:09:56.121 --> 00:09:58.857
  • And holding our diplomats for 444 days.
  • 00:09:58.857 --> 00:10:03.228
  • Captain, thank you for taking the time with us today.
  • 00:10:03.228 --> 00:10:06.498
  • My pleasure.
  • 00:10:06.832 --> 00:10:08.033
  • From the outside, this looks like a very one sided affair
  • 00:10:08.033 --> 00:10:11.270
  • In the very well-organized and well armed israeli military
  • 00:10:11.270 --> 00:10:14.673
  • Against a rather lame bunch of noisemakers in tehran.
  • 00:10:14.673 --> 00:10:18.077
  • 200 israeli aircraft hitting hard on 100 iranian targets.
  • 00:10:18.077 --> 00:10:21.914
  • What can you tell us about the damage
  • 00:10:21.914 --> 00:10:23.515
  • To iran's nuclear assets, as well as their military?
  • 00:10:23.515 --> 00:10:26.552
  • Well, you don't have to wipe out the entire, program.
  • 00:10:27.586 --> 00:10:32.157
  • And that's something that critics have said.
  • 00:10:32.157 --> 00:10:34.426
  • Well, why are you doing this?
  • 00:10:34.426 --> 00:10:35.327
  • You're not going to be able to get it all.
  • 00:10:35.327 --> 00:10:36.562
  • You don't need to get it all.
  • 00:10:36.562 --> 00:10:37.963
  • You just need to get the critical components.
  • 00:10:37.963 --> 00:10:40.566
  • And part of the critical components are not just the
  • 00:10:40.566 --> 00:10:43.602
  • Hardware and the fissionable material itself.
  • 00:10:43.602 --> 00:10:47.506
  • It's the people that run the program.
  • 00:10:47.506 --> 00:10:50.509
  • And part of what has been admitted by iranian authorities
  • 00:10:50.509 --> 00:10:53.946
  • In their media
  • 00:10:53.946 --> 00:10:55.247
  • Is that for senior military leaders
  • 00:10:55.247 --> 00:10:58.584
  • Who used to run that program or the, or their air force
  • 00:10:58.584 --> 00:11:02.121
  • Have been killed
  • 00:11:02.521 --> 00:11:03.655
  • And six of their nuclear scientists have been killed.
  • 00:11:03.655 --> 00:11:06.592
  • Now, that's just what they're willing to admit to.
  • 00:11:06.592 --> 00:11:09.228
  • The final bomb damage analysis is yet to be done,
  • 00:11:09.228 --> 00:11:13.365
  • Because this is an ongoing conflict,
  • 00:11:13.365 --> 00:11:15.467
  • And we're right at the beginning of it.
  • 00:11:15.467 --> 00:11:17.803
  • Well, the
  • 00:11:18.103 --> 00:11:19.171
  • Attacks also took out some of iran's leadership.
  • 00:11:19.171 --> 00:11:21.473
  • How important is that to winning this ongoing attack?
  • 00:11:21.473 --> 00:11:25.511
  • Well, i think it's very important
  • 00:11:26.278 --> 00:11:27.513
  • Because when you disrupt the leadership
  • 00:11:27.513 --> 00:11:29.581
  • Now all of a sudden the decision making either gets pushed down
  • 00:11:29.581 --> 00:11:32.818
  • To people
  • 00:11:32.818 --> 00:11:33.786
  • Who were not used to making the decisions,
  • 00:11:33.786 --> 00:11:35.888
  • Or you have to bring in people from the outside
  • 00:11:35.888 --> 00:11:38.524
  • And put them in charge or something,
  • 00:11:38.524 --> 00:11:40.025
  • And they're going to look for loyalists to do that.
  • 00:11:40.025 --> 00:11:43.095
  • So here's the thing that the the mullahs
  • 00:11:43.095 --> 00:11:45.497
  • Have to understand, especially khamenei.
  • 00:11:45.497 --> 00:11:49.101
  • If you take a look at, there's an image
  • 00:11:49.101 --> 00:11:51.303
  • Where a missile or more likely,
  • 00:11:51.303 --> 00:11:55.340
  • A uav punch through the side of an apartment building.
  • 00:11:55.340 --> 00:11:59.444
  • And if you look closely at that image,
  • 00:11:59.444 --> 00:12:01.713
  • You'll see that there's a char mark where it went through.
  • 00:12:01.713 --> 00:12:04.917
  • But the windows in the apartments were not blown out.
  • 00:12:04.917 --> 00:12:08.620
  • Essentially, what happened was they targeted a senior
  • 00:12:08.620 --> 00:12:12.491
  • Military leader.
  • 00:12:12.491 --> 00:12:13.759
  • It was a general in his bed and didn't disrupt the neighbors.
  • 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:18.163
  • Now, they undoubtedly heard something, but that's it.
  • 00:12:18.163 --> 00:12:21.834
  • That's the precision that they're using.
  • 00:12:21.834 --> 00:12:23.869
  • So all of the senior leadership, civilian and military
  • 00:12:23.869 --> 00:12:27.339
  • And scientific in iran, has to realize
  • 00:12:28.106 --> 00:12:31.710
  • That the israeli military
  • 00:12:31.710 --> 00:12:33.946
  • Not only has the precision in their weaponry,
  • 00:12:33.946 --> 00:12:37.349
  • But they also have people in iran working with them
  • 00:12:37.349 --> 00:12:42.054
  • To give them that level of exquisite intelligence.
  • 00:12:42.054 --> 00:12:45.624
  • Nobody is invulnerable. nobody.
  • 00:12:45.624 --> 00:12:48.293
  • They can reach out and touch
  • 00:12:48.293 --> 00:12:49.795
  • Anybody in iran that they want to, whenever they want to.
  • 00:12:49.795 --> 00:12:53.899
  • Yeah, that seems to me to be chilling to anybody
  • 00:12:53.899 --> 00:12:55.901
  • That's still trying to resist in iran.
  • 00:12:55.901 --> 00:12:58.170
  • I've read multiple reports
  • 00:12:58.170 --> 00:12:59.805
  • That there were actually mossad personnel on the ground in iran
  • 00:12:59.805 --> 00:13:03.442
  • Coordinating these attacks with the israeli air
  • 00:13:03.442 --> 00:13:06.111
  • Force and military.
  • 00:13:06.111 --> 00:13:07.179
  • That's a remarkable accomplishment, isn't it?
  • 00:13:07.179 --> 00:13:09.982
  • It is, and undoubtedly,
  • 00:13:10.482 --> 00:13:13.051
  • The assistance that they've received is either from,
  • 00:13:13.051 --> 00:13:16.588
  • The mujahideen, a khalq, the m.k., which is a,
  • 00:13:16.588 --> 00:13:20.225
  • One of the main opposition groups, or
  • 00:13:20.225 --> 00:13:22.761
  • One of the other groups under the national,
  • 00:13:22.761 --> 00:13:26.331
  • Resistance, movement, the ncri,
  • 00:13:26.331 --> 00:13:29.468
  • In iran, it's actually headquartered in france
  • 00:13:30.402 --> 00:13:33.572
  • And albania, but there are iranian dissidents
  • 00:13:33.572 --> 00:13:36.575
  • Who are working for the overthrow of the mullahs.
  • 00:13:36.575 --> 00:13:39.678
  • So there is a network inside of iran that,
  • 00:13:39.678 --> 00:13:43.115
  • Mossad has been able to, to use.
  • 00:13:43.115 --> 00:13:47.286
  • As far as you know.
  • 00:13:47.753 --> 00:13:48.620
  • Does iran have much left to go after
  • 00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:50.689
  • Israel or american assets in the region?
  • 00:13:50.689 --> 00:13:53.825
  • They have the ability to build drones and ballistic missiles.
  • 00:13:53.825 --> 00:13:58.263
  • A lot of that technology has come from
  • 00:13:58.263 --> 00:14:00.732
  • And been shared with, the north koreans.
  • 00:14:00.732 --> 00:14:04.202
  • And the north koreans, of course, have nuclear weapons.
  • 00:14:04.202 --> 00:14:07.372
  • So one has to wonder
  • 00:14:07.372 --> 00:14:10.142
  • If that transfer of not just technology,
  • 00:14:10.142 --> 00:14:13.645
  • But if they could smuggle a weapon
  • 00:14:13.645 --> 00:14:15.647
  • Out of north korea and into iran,
  • 00:14:15.647 --> 00:14:18.650
  • That would give them an immediate jumpstart
  • 00:14:18.650 --> 00:14:21.119
  • On having a nuclear weapon, what they would do with it,
  • 00:14:21.119 --> 00:14:23.588
  • How they would deliver it.
  • 00:14:23.588 --> 00:14:24.923
  • That's up for grabs.
  • 00:14:24.923 --> 00:14:25.958
  • But in the meantime, the israelis can count on
  • 00:14:25.958 --> 00:14:29.061
  • Drones and ballistic missiles with conventional warheads.
  • 00:14:29.061 --> 00:14:32.764
  • Well, chuck, i know it's early,
  • 00:14:33.398 --> 00:14:34.866
  • But do you think the iranian people will soon
  • 00:14:34.866 --> 00:14:37.002
  • Have what they need to take back
  • 00:14:37.002 --> 00:14:38.303
  • Control of their country from these radical mullahs?
  • 00:14:38.303 --> 00:14:42.207
  • You know, pastor, there have been several revolutions,
  • 00:14:42.207 --> 00:14:45.010
  • In the past.
  • 00:14:45.010 --> 00:14:46.211
  • Revolutions, let's call them significant demonstrations.
  • 00:14:46.211 --> 00:14:49.481
  • And when i say significant demonstrations,
  • 00:14:49.481 --> 00:14:51.149
  • I mean not only in tehran but across iran.
  • 00:14:51.149 --> 00:14:54.252
  • The people the last one was the green revolution.
  • 00:14:55.253 --> 00:14:58.590
  • They called it.
  • 00:14:58.590 --> 00:14:59.725
  • But, the obama administration didn't pick up on it.
  • 00:14:59.725 --> 00:15:02.494
  • And support it because the obama administration had switched,
  • 00:15:02.494 --> 00:15:07.165
  • Our partnerships and allegiances from the sunni gulf arabs
  • 00:15:07.165 --> 00:15:11.870
  • To the iranian, shia.
  • 00:15:11.870 --> 00:15:15.440
  • And that disrupted everything.
  • 00:15:16.041 --> 00:15:17.876
  • Well, this administration has put that back in place
  • 00:15:17.876 --> 00:15:21.913
  • To where we're supporting the gulf arabs,
  • 00:15:21.913 --> 00:15:25.083
  • The sunni, and, you know, using, them
  • 00:15:25.083 --> 00:15:29.554
  • And the israelis to keep iran in check.
  • 00:15:29.554 --> 00:15:34.459
  • And that's why you're the israeli move now,
  • 00:15:34.459 --> 00:15:38.363
  • To take out the nuclear program was so important,
  • 00:15:38.363 --> 00:15:42.234
  • Because they could have been
  • 00:15:42.234 --> 00:15:43.902
  • Within weeks of having a nuclear weapon.
  • 00:15:43.902 --> 00:15:46.471
  • And once they have a nuke,
  • 00:15:46.471 --> 00:15:48.273
  • Then they have the enrichment capability.
  • 00:15:48.273 --> 00:15:50.409
  • They can just build more and more.
  • 00:15:50.409 --> 00:15:52.677
  • And at that point, all bets are off.
  • 00:15:52.677 --> 00:15:54.546
  • It's a different world, and we're not ready for that world.
  • 00:15:54.546 --> 00:15:57.382
  • We are just not ready for that world.
  • 00:15:57.382 --> 00:15:59.551
  • Well, captain ash, thank you for taking the time to join us
  • 00:16:00.685 --> 00:16:03.588
  • At this very important time in the unfolding story.
  • 00:16:03.588 --> 00:16:07.459
  • My pleasure.
  • 00:16:07.793 --> 00:16:08.960
  • It's a comfort setting up here in the beautiful thousand
  • 00:16:08.960 --> 00:16:11.530
  • Islands, and we're praying for the people in israel
  • 00:16:11.530 --> 00:16:15.100
  • Who are
  • 00:16:15.333 --> 00:16:16.501
  • Ducking and covering right now and will be for some time.
  • 00:16:16.501 --> 00:16:19.237
  • Well, in a moment, i'll have some additional
  • 00:16:20.172 --> 00:16:21.907
  • Thoughts on this victory over evil.
  • 00:16:21.907 --> 00:16:31.002
  • Thoughts on this victory over evil.
  • 00:16:31.002 --> 00:16:35.020
  • Last evening,
  • 00:16:35.387 --> 00:16:36.588
  • As i began to hear the reports of the israeli attack on iran,
  • 00:16:36.588 --> 00:16:39.925
  • I was reminded of a verse in the book of revelation.
  • 00:16:39.925 --> 00:16:42.461
  • It's chapter five, in the fifth verse.
  • 00:16:42.461 --> 00:16:44.496
  • There's this phrase. it says, do not weep.
  • 00:16:44.496 --> 00:16:46.898
  • See the lion of the tribe of judah, the root of david.
  • 00:16:46.898 --> 00:16:50.535
  • He has triumphed.
  • 00:16:50.535 --> 00:16:52.471
  • I think that's a very important message for us today.
  • 00:16:52.471 --> 00:16:55.907
  • You see, the last book of the new testament refers
  • 00:16:55.907 --> 00:16:58.710
  • To jesus, our lord, as the lion of the tribe of judah.
  • 00:16:58.710 --> 00:17:02.347
  • John, in that revelation didn't describe
  • 00:17:03.181 --> 00:17:05.317
  • Jesus as the head of the church.
  • 00:17:05.317 --> 00:17:07.619
  • Now he is that.
  • 00:17:07.619 --> 00:17:08.920
  • But that wasn't the reference that was used.
  • 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.356
  • You see, god has a distance
  • 00:17:11.356 --> 00:17:12.924
  • Distanced himself from the jewish people.
  • 00:17:12.924 --> 00:17:15.393
  • In fact, quite the opposite is true.
  • 00:17:15.393 --> 00:17:17.863
  • He has gathered the jewish people
  • 00:17:17.863 --> 00:17:19.264
  • From the nations of the world,
  • 00:17:19.264 --> 00:17:20.832
  • And he's establishing them in the land
  • 00:17:20.832 --> 00:17:22.701
  • That he promised to abraham.
  • 00:17:22.701 --> 00:17:24.469
  • In spite of the hate and the resistance
  • 00:17:24.469 --> 00:17:27.072
  • And the terrorists that surround them.
  • 00:17:27.072 --> 00:17:29.541
  • And i can promise you this,
  • 00:17:29.541 --> 00:17:31.209
  • That same jewish people will emerge at the center
  • 00:17:31.209 --> 00:17:33.912
  • Of this message of our faith
  • 00:17:33.912 --> 00:17:35.380
  • As we prepare for the return of messiah.
  • 00:17:35.380 --> 00:17:37.415
  • Operation rising lion, that we're watching unfold
  • 00:17:38.383 --> 00:17:41.486
  • On our television screens and our phones, is israel's
  • 00:17:41.486 --> 00:17:44.623
  • Attempt to prevent iran from obtaining nuclear weapons?
  • 00:17:44.623 --> 00:17:47.759
  • Well, it's underway,
  • 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:49.227
  • And i am very confident that the lion of the tribe
  • 00:17:49.227 --> 00:17:51.730
  • Of judah is fully engaged in this initiative.
  • 00:17:51.730 --> 00:17:55.767
  • I think it's important for us to remember that the hatred
  • 00:17:55.767 --> 00:17:58.103
  • Directed towards the jewish people will not abate.
  • 00:17:58.103 --> 00:18:01.373
  • It's satanic, the spirit which drives
  • 00:18:01.373 --> 00:18:04.109
  • That anti-semitism is the spirit of antichrist.
  • 00:18:04.109 --> 00:18:07.245
  • And you and i have to decide which spiritual stream
  • 00:18:07.245 --> 00:18:10.081
  • We're going to choose to be a part of.
  • 00:18:10.081 --> 00:18:12.350
  • I would strongly encourage you
  • 00:18:12.350 --> 00:18:14.252
  • To pray daily for the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:18:14.252 --> 00:18:17.255
  • Our israeli friends are staying close to shelters right now.
  • 00:18:17.255 --> 00:18:20.825
  • They're shopping for food.
  • 00:18:20.825 --> 00:18:22.060
  • They're praying for god's protection.
  • 00:18:22.060 --> 00:18:24.296
  • Let's use our voices in prayer and as advocates for them.
  • 00:18:24.296 --> 00:18:27.799
  • God is moving in the earth.
  • 00:18:28.400 --> 00:18:29.968
  • I want to cooperate with him in every way possible.
  • 00:18:29.968 --> 00:18:33.672
  • If we'll do that, i promise there's more reasons for hope
  • 00:18:33.672 --> 00:18:37.108
  • Than despair.
  • 00:18:37.108 --> 00:18:38.543
  • I'll be back in just a moment.
  • 00:18:38.543 --> 00:18:40.512
  • Stay with us.
  • 00:18:40.512 --> 00:18:48.006
  • Stay with us.
  • 00:18:48.006 --> 00:18:52.490
  • Thank you for spending a few moments with us this evening.
  • 00:18:53.658 --> 00:18:56.761
  • There's a lot happening in our world.
  • 00:18:56.761 --> 00:18:58.296
  • I spoke with a military friend.
  • 00:18:58.296 --> 00:19:00.432
  • He reminded me that there's more than a million ways
  • 00:19:00.432 --> 00:19:03.468
  • In america.
  • 00:19:03.468 --> 00:19:04.436
  • People who came across our border illegally.
  • 00:19:04.436 --> 00:19:06.304
  • We don't know where they are
  • 00:19:06.304 --> 00:19:07.672
  • Or what they're doing, what they're up to.
  • 00:19:07.672 --> 00:19:10.475
  • It's an unsettling time.
  • 00:19:10.475 --> 00:19:12.043
  • As we were watching what's unfolding in israel.
  • 00:19:12.043 --> 00:19:14.279
  • I think it's important for all of us to remember
  • 00:19:14.279 --> 00:19:16.414
  • That ultimately, only god keeps us safe.
  • 00:19:16.414 --> 00:19:19.117
  • The battle we're in, it's not political.
  • 00:19:19.117 --> 00:19:20.885
  • It's not ideological. it's spiritual.
  • 00:19:20.885 --> 00:19:22.854
  • We see that being played out on the ground in israel
  • 00:19:22.854 --> 00:19:25.757
  • And in the neighborhoods of iran right now.
  • 00:19:25.757 --> 00:19:27.659
  • But it's equally true here on the streets of america.
  • 00:19:27.659 --> 00:19:30.762
  • It's time for us to pray for the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:19:30.762 --> 00:19:32.931
  • But more than that,
  • 00:19:32.931 --> 00:19:34.132
  • To pray for the protection of almighty god in our lives.
  • 00:19:34.132 --> 00:19:36.901
  • In fact, before we go,
  • 00:19:36.901 --> 00:19:38.236
  • I'd like to offer that prayer
  • 00:19:38.236 --> 00:19:39.404
  • Very briefly with you and for you.
  • 00:19:39.404 --> 00:19:41.940
  • It's god's grace that keeps us. father.
  • 00:19:41.940 --> 00:19:44.309
  • Thank you.
  • 00:19:44.309 --> 00:19:45.477
  • Thank you for the reminder
  • 00:19:45.477 --> 00:19:46.578
  • That you're watching over the earth,
  • 00:19:46.578 --> 00:19:47.912
  • That you are the lion of the tribe of judah,
  • 00:19:47.912 --> 00:19:50.415
  • And that you keep your word
  • 00:19:50.415 --> 00:19:51.616
  • And watch over your promises in every generation.
  • 00:19:51.616 --> 00:19:54.486
  • We thank you for keeping us safe.
  • 00:19:54.486 --> 00:19:56.488
  • We pray for our friends in jerusalem tonight.
  • 00:19:56.488 --> 00:19:59.124
  • Jesus name. amen.
  • 00:19:59.124 --> 00:20:01.860
  • Well, i'm alan jackson.
  • 00:20:01.860 --> 00:20:02.961
  • Thank you for giving us a few moments.
  • 00:20:02.961 --> 00:20:04.729
  • And you have a wonderful evening.
  • 00:20:04.729 --> 00:20:04.729
