Allen Jackson NOW | Allen Jackson: Missile Threat | Allen Jackson Now | March 24, 2026

Well, good evening and welcome to nashville.
00:00:05.363 --> 00:00:07.466
I'm alan jackson.
00:00:07.466 --> 00:00:08.900
President trump says he believes that he can reach a, quote,
00:00:08.900 --> 00:00:11.937
Very good deal and wind down the war with iran
00:00:11.937 --> 00:00:15.040
In the next few weeks.
00:00:15.040 --> 00:00:16.541
Negotiations are underway and the terms, if they're agreed on.
00:00:16.541 --> 00:00:20.112
We'll leave the world
00:00:20.112 --> 00:00:21.179
A far safer place than it's been for a long time.
00:00:21.179 --> 00:00:24.349
Not only has the overwhelming majority of iran's weapons
00:00:24.349 --> 00:00:27.219
Been destroyed,
00:00:27.219 --> 00:00:28.386
So two of the manufacturing plants that produce them.
00:00:28.386 --> 00:00:31.556
But while their leadership has been eliminated, whoever's left,
00:00:31.556 --> 00:00:34.960
They're still trying to put up a fight.
00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:36.828
And in the process, we're learning more
00:00:36.828 --> 00:00:38.663
About what they built
00:00:38.663 --> 00:00:39.598
And how much they lied about it for years.
00:00:39.598 --> 00:00:42.734
For example, iran shot two missiles toward a u.s.
00:00:42.734 --> 00:00:45.437
Military base in the indian ocean on diego garcia.
00:00:45.437 --> 00:00:49.274
It's 2500 miles from iran.
00:00:49.274 --> 00:00:51.843
That's twice as far as what iran's foreign
00:00:51.843 --> 00:00:54.112
Ministry said they could reach,
00:00:54.112 --> 00:00:55.981
At a distance of which
00:00:55.981 --> 00:00:56.948
They could also reach paris or berlin.
00:00:56.948 --> 00:00:59.050
Rome, london.
00:00:59.050 --> 00:01:01.019
This isn't just america's fight or israel's.
00:01:01.019 --> 00:01:04.189
Israel's prime minister
00:01:04.189 --> 00:01:05.223
Has been warning about this for a long time.
00:01:05.223 --> 00:01:07.592
Listen to how he put it.
00:01:07.592 --> 00:01:08.860
But i want to ask you to imagine
00:01:08.860 --> 00:01:11.496
How the ayatollah regime
00:01:12.030 --> 00:01:14.065
Would be able to blackmail the entire world
00:01:14.065 --> 00:01:17.169
If they had ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads.
00:01:17.169 --> 00:01:20.505
Just imagine what they would do.
00:01:20.505 --> 00:01:21.806
Look at what they're doing now.
00:01:21.806 --> 00:01:23.041
And imagine what they would do if they had ballistic missiles,
00:01:23.041 --> 00:01:26.378
International range ballistic missiles,
00:01:27.245 --> 00:01:30.482
And nuclear tipped warheads.
00:01:31.082 --> 00:01:33.351
Just imagine what the great threat that would be.
00:01:33.351 --> 00:01:37.322
You know, regardless of the threat,
00:01:38.123 --> 00:01:40.025
Democrats are pushing back, as they always do
00:01:40.025 --> 00:01:42.494
When anything is tied to president trump.
00:01:42.494 --> 00:01:44.663
They don't even express sympathy for the iranian people.
00:01:44.663 --> 00:01:47.399
When a public hanging happens, such as with these three men,
00:01:47.399 --> 00:01:51.636
They were dragged in front of the cameras
00:01:51.636 --> 00:01:53.238
For the world to see right before
00:01:53.238 --> 00:01:55.373
They were put to death in a public display,
00:01:55.373 --> 00:01:58.009
To try and scare anyone else who's thinking about
00:01:58.009 --> 00:02:00.545
Pushing back on the evil leadership in tehran.
00:02:00.545 --> 00:02:03.114
There's no question that the radical regime in iran
00:02:04.149 --> 00:02:06.384
Has been a global sponsor of terror,
00:02:06.384 --> 00:02:08.587
And has been at war with the united states
00:02:08.587 --> 00:02:10.155
For at least 47 years.
00:02:10.155 --> 00:02:12.190
They took our embassy hostage for 444 days.
00:02:12.190 --> 00:02:16.261
They were responsible for the killings of 300
00:02:16.261 --> 00:02:18.330
Plus marines in lebanon in the early 1980s.
00:02:18.330 --> 00:02:21.600
If you ask our intelligence agencies about iraq
00:02:21.600 --> 00:02:24.236
And what was the source of many of our american casualties
00:02:24.236 --> 00:02:26.905
There, you'll get estimates as high as 75 to 80% of them
00:02:26.905 --> 00:02:30.775
Were due to iranian made roadside bombs.
00:02:30.775 --> 00:02:34.846
They arm and equip hezbollah and hamas.
00:02:34.846 --> 00:02:37.983
They've been a threat for a long time.
00:02:37.983 --> 00:02:40.452
So keep that in mind when the media and certain politicians
00:02:40.452 --> 00:02:43.555
And some tiktok commentators frame what's happening in iran,
00:02:43.555 --> 00:02:47.125
Evil under the guise of radical islam
00:02:47.926 --> 00:02:50.061
Is hunting people in the earth these days.
00:02:50.061 --> 00:02:52.897
I know we don't like to talk about it.
00:02:52.897 --> 00:02:54.466
People will say, well, you shouldn't say that.
00:02:54.466 --> 00:02:56.501
It's political.
00:02:56.501 --> 00:02:58.036
It's not political.
00:02:58.036 --> 00:02:58.937
It's a description of our reality.
00:02:58.937 --> 00:03:01.239
And i'm grateful for the bold and courageous approach.
00:03:01.239 --> 00:03:03.608
It's being taken by this administration
00:03:03.608 --> 00:03:05.677
To not sit passively by.
00:03:05.677 --> 00:03:07.379
While christians, jews and innocent
00:03:07.379 --> 00:03:09.281
Lives are brutally targeted.
00:03:09.281 --> 00:03:11.149
I'm reminded of winston churchill.
00:03:11.916 --> 00:03:13.952
He was the prime minister of great
00:03:13.952 --> 00:03:15.220
Britain during world war two.
00:03:15.220 --> 00:03:17.088
He followed neville chamberlain, his prime minister.
00:03:17.088 --> 00:03:20.358
Neville chamberlain, was a feckless politician.
00:03:20.358 --> 00:03:22.694
He was a coward of the first order.
00:03:22.694 --> 00:03:24.929
Winston churchill was not that.
00:03:24.929 --> 00:03:26.965
And he had some great quotes.
00:03:26.965 --> 00:03:28.700
Here are a couple.
00:03:28.700 --> 00:03:29.734
He said the price of greatness is responsibility.
00:03:29.734 --> 00:03:32.971
He also said this is not the time for ease or comfort.
00:03:32.971 --> 00:03:35.974
It's time to dare and endure.
00:03:35.974 --> 00:03:38.910
Well, i'd like to use the comparison
00:03:38.910 --> 00:03:40.578
Between chamberlain and churchill
00:03:40.578 --> 00:03:42.647
For our own season, and submit to you
00:03:42.647 --> 00:03:44.749
That it's time for us to make the move
00:03:44.749 --> 00:03:46.651
From appeasement to advocacy for the truth.
00:03:46.651 --> 00:03:49.421
One is passive, the other is assertive.
00:03:49.421 --> 00:03:52.157
And i would submit to you that the church predominantly
00:03:52.157 --> 00:03:54.859
Has been passive for far too long.
00:03:54.859 --> 00:03:57.962
God's doing some remarkable things in the earth.
00:03:57.962 --> 00:03:59.898
He's moving in a way that we don't have time to keep up with.
00:03:59.898 --> 00:04:03.234
It's remarkable to watch and experience
00:04:03.234 --> 00:04:06.004
All over the globe.
00:04:06.004 --> 00:04:07.238
There are expressions of freedom that a few short months ago,
00:04:07.238 --> 00:04:09.774
They were just unthinkable.
00:04:09.774 --> 00:04:11.710
A few weeks ago, a friend forwarded a video to me.
00:04:11.710 --> 00:04:14.079
It touched my heart.
00:04:14.079 --> 00:04:15.213
It was a video of several hundred pastors and faith
00:04:15.213 --> 00:04:18.183
Leaders that were being released from prison in venezuela.
00:04:18.183 --> 00:04:21.252
Imagine what their easter
00:04:21.820 --> 00:04:23.054
Season is like this year compared to a year ago.
00:04:23.054 --> 00:04:26.157
Imagine what easter could be like
00:04:26.157 --> 00:04:27.659
Next year for the underground church in iran.
00:04:27.659 --> 00:04:30.929
Imagine how easter would be celebrated in cuba next year
00:04:30.929 --> 00:04:33.698
If they had the freedom and the resources to do so.
00:04:33.698 --> 00:04:36.735
You know, communism has had cuba locked down, stuck
00:04:36.735 --> 00:04:39.204
In the 1950s for more than 70 years.
00:04:39.204 --> 00:04:42.941
Now, remember, cuba is not on the other side
00:04:42.941 --> 00:04:44.609
Of the earth next to north korea.
00:04:44.609 --> 00:04:46.277
It's just 90 miles south of miami.
00:04:46.277 --> 00:04:49.247
Well,
00:04:49.481 --> 00:04:50.582
Easter season is upon all of us here in tennessee.
00:04:50.582 --> 00:04:52.884
We're inviting our neighbors to celebrate easter.
00:04:52.884 --> 00:04:55.286
We put up an outdoor stage.
00:04:55.286 --> 00:04:56.755
We have concerts, activities for families.
00:04:56.755 --> 00:04:59.357
It's all to celebrate our risen lord.
00:04:59.357 --> 00:05:02.093
We will have a very visible and public celebration,
00:05:02.093 --> 00:05:06.131
Which is impossible in iran, china, north korea,
00:05:06.131 --> 00:05:09.234
Saudi arabia, many other places in the world
00:05:09.234 --> 00:05:12.704
To be reluctant to say religious liberty
00:05:12.704 --> 00:05:15.006
And freedom is a good thing is being willfully ignorant.
00:05:15.006 --> 00:05:19.444
We here in america have great freedoms and great liberties,
00:05:19.444 --> 00:05:22.580
But they have to be protected
00:05:22.580 --> 00:05:23.848
And asserted are they're going to go away.
00:05:23.848 --> 00:05:26.384
We have for decades been apologetic
00:05:26.384 --> 00:05:28.486
And timid about those things.
00:05:28.486 --> 00:05:30.355
As christians, our participation in the public square.
00:05:30.355 --> 00:05:33.558
It is vitally important.
00:05:33.558 --> 00:05:35.894
Easter season is a great time to be assertive
00:05:35.894 --> 00:05:38.463
And lead with our faith.
00:05:38.463 --> 00:05:39.864
Let's not miss the opportunity.
00:05:39.864 --> 00:05:41.699
Let's have the courage to make our faith public.
00:05:41.699 --> 00:05:43.968
It will change the atmosphere of our homes,
00:05:43.968 --> 00:05:46.037
Our workplaces, our communities, and our nation.
00:05:46.037 --> 00:05:49.407
With all that on the table,
00:05:49.407 --> 00:05:51.075
In a moment we'll be joined by the senior fellow
00:05:51.075 --> 00:05:53.578
And the director of the keystone defense
00:05:53.578 --> 00:05:55.513
Initiative at the hudson institute, rebecca heinrichs.
00:05:55.513 --> 00:05:58.950
I'll be right back.
00:05:59.417 --> 00:06:07.006
I'll be right back.
00:06:07.006 --> 00:06:11.229
With so many voices trying to put their spin on the war
00:06:12.330 --> 00:06:15.200
With iran,
00:06:15.200 --> 00:06:16.167
We're fortunate to have an expert
00:06:16.167 --> 00:06:17.902
Who knows as close as possible to where the truth is.
00:06:17.902 --> 00:06:20.805
Rebecca heinrichs is the national security expert
00:06:20.805 --> 00:06:23.741
At the hudson institute, and she's joining us now.
00:06:23.741 --> 00:06:26.878
Welcome to our show, rebecca.
00:06:26.878 --> 00:06:29.581
Thank you for having me.
00:06:29.581 --> 00:06:30.448
It's so good to be with you.
00:06:30.448 --> 00:06:32.317
Well, there's a lot to go over.
00:06:32.317 --> 00:06:33.685
So let's start
00:06:33.685 --> 00:06:34.919
With what we know about iran's ballistic missile capabilities.
00:06:34.919 --> 00:06:37.789
Centcom says that iran is showing signs of desperation
00:06:37.789 --> 00:06:41.259
Targeting civilians at least 300 times now, despite
00:06:41.259 --> 00:06:44.896
What iran has repeatedly claimed
00:06:44.896 --> 00:06:46.831
They build missiles that could reach
00:06:46.831 --> 00:06:48.333
Many of the big cities in europe.
00:06:48.333 --> 00:06:50.168
Missiles that can travel twice
00:06:50.168 --> 00:06:51.669
As far as they'd previously claimed.
00:06:51.669 --> 00:06:53.972
Could those missiles have been topped
00:06:53.972 --> 00:06:55.206
With nuclear weapons had they been able to build one?
00:06:55.206 --> 00:06:58.676
Well, this is a great question.
00:06:59.310 --> 00:07:01.045
So, a lot of people may maybe, in their minds,
00:07:01.045 --> 00:07:04.649
Think that the nuclear program is something different
00:07:04.649 --> 00:07:07.819
Than the missile program.
00:07:07.819 --> 00:07:09.721
But a better way to think about it
00:07:09.721 --> 00:07:11.256
Is that the missiles, as you've alluded
00:07:11.256 --> 00:07:13.091
To, can actually be the delivery systems for a force,
00:07:13.091 --> 00:07:17.228
A weaponized nuclear capability.
00:07:17.228 --> 00:07:19.831
So, that's what iran was, was building a massive
00:07:19.831 --> 00:07:23.468
Missile force.
00:07:23.468 --> 00:07:24.702
And you can extend the range of certain missiles
00:07:24.702 --> 00:07:29.607
By lightning, the weight of the warhead as well.
00:07:29.607 --> 00:07:32.710
And so, just as we saw over the weekend,
00:07:32.710 --> 00:07:35.213
The iranians were able to launch
00:07:35.213 --> 00:07:37.048
Two missiles that had a much greater range,
00:07:37.048 --> 00:07:40.985
Than than previously assessed publicly, at least.
00:07:40.985 --> 00:07:44.155
That would enable the iranians to potentially reach
00:07:44.155 --> 00:07:47.158
All the way to the uk is diego garcia, which is where,
00:07:47.158 --> 00:07:51.095
We americans launch our bombers from so much further.
00:07:51.095 --> 00:07:54.732
So, now it's a different question on a un tech,
00:07:54.732 --> 00:07:57.802
On the technicality about whether or not
00:07:57.802 --> 00:07:59.604
The iranians were anywhere near having the ability
00:07:59.604 --> 00:08:01.506
To weaponize a nuclear capability
00:08:01.506 --> 00:08:03.474
And then successfully marry it to a ballistic missile.
00:08:03.474 --> 00:08:06.177
That's a different degree of technical sophistication.
00:08:06.177 --> 00:08:09.547
But it's kind of misses the point.
00:08:09.547 --> 00:08:10.882
The point is they were moving in that direction.
00:08:10.882 --> 00:08:13.484
And so that is partly
00:08:13.484 --> 00:08:15.019
What president trump was thinking about
00:08:15.019 --> 00:08:17.188
When he initiated, operation ethics theory
00:08:17.188 --> 00:08:20.425
To make sure they could never have that capability.
00:08:20.425 --> 00:08:23.127
I'm curious,
00:08:23.461 --> 00:08:24.462
Was this news to our supposed partners in nato
00:08:24.462 --> 00:08:27.231
And has this made them any more helpful
00:08:27.231 --> 00:08:28.866
In getting behind the idea
00:08:28.866 --> 00:08:30.101
Of keeping the strait of hormuz open?
00:08:30.101 --> 00:08:32.937
So i think that our european allies
00:08:32.937 --> 00:08:35.239
Do have a very close intelligence
00:08:35.239 --> 00:08:37.508
Sharing relationship with the united states.
00:08:37.508 --> 00:08:40.478
So it's hard to know exactly what they knew
00:08:40.478 --> 00:08:42.680
About the potential range of iranian ballistic missiles.
00:08:42.680 --> 00:08:45.550
But every european ally who i talked to,
00:08:45.550 --> 00:08:49.787
You know, sort of just on what they're thinking,
00:08:49.787 --> 00:08:52.056
It's i,
00:08:52.056 --> 00:08:52.724
I've never gotten any pushback
00:08:52.724 --> 00:08:53.925
From the europeans
00:08:53.925 --> 00:08:55.026
On the point about the danger of the iran regime.
00:08:55.026 --> 00:08:57.996
Nobody is losing sleep over the fact that the supreme
00:08:57.996 --> 00:09:00.665
Leader is dead, that the irgc is being defeated.
00:09:00.665 --> 00:09:03.501
I think that the europeans were frustrated
00:09:03.501 --> 00:09:05.436
That the united states did not bring them
00:09:05.436 --> 00:09:07.205
Into the planned operation initially.
00:09:07.205 --> 00:09:10.208
And then, of course, they're very still frustrated.
00:09:10.208 --> 00:09:13.077
And i think one of trust was ruptured
00:09:13.077 --> 00:09:14.879
When when the united states was threatening
00:09:14.879 --> 00:09:17.382
Denmark's, greenlit only a couple of months ago.
00:09:17.382 --> 00:09:20.618
So we're kind of feeling a hangover effect from that.
00:09:20.618 --> 00:09:23.254
However, you bring up a great point.
00:09:23.254 --> 00:09:25.023
Iran is a threat to them as well.
00:09:25.023 --> 00:09:26.858
And so the europeans, i think, are now getting on side
00:09:26.858 --> 00:09:30.028
Much more.
00:09:30.028 --> 00:09:30.695
The united states is launching
00:09:30.695 --> 00:09:32.096
Attacks from bases that we have in european countries.
00:09:32.096 --> 00:09:35.533
And i think i'm hopeful, and i think it's quite possible
00:09:35.533 --> 00:09:40.405
That the europeans will join
00:09:40.405 --> 00:09:41.773
The united states
00:09:41.773 --> 00:09:42.774
In some kind of international effort to escort,
00:09:42.774 --> 00:09:46.110
Move it movement through the strait of hormuz,
00:09:46.110 --> 00:09:49.013
Which is what we need.
00:09:49.013 --> 00:09:50.114
So these insurance companies
00:09:50.114 --> 00:09:51.516
Can can be confident that they'll be safe.
00:09:51.516 --> 00:09:53.985
Well, the white house is asking congress
00:09:54.819 --> 00:09:56.621
For additional funding to rebuild our weapons supplies.
00:09:56.621 --> 00:09:59.757
Are we in any danger of not having what we need
00:09:59.757 --> 00:10:01.926
If china were to move on taiwan this year?
00:10:01.926 --> 00:10:05.129
Excellent question.
00:10:05.596 --> 00:10:06.597
So my concern obviously is always like, look,
00:10:06.597 --> 00:10:09.200
I think that president trump made a incredibly brave
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.470
And right decision to initiate operation epic fury
00:10:12.470 --> 00:10:15.907
Against the iran regime, in part because the iranians were both
00:10:15.907 --> 00:10:19.777
Weak, weakened because of the previous
00:10:19.777 --> 00:10:23.347
Military operation that we had with the israelis,
00:10:23.347 --> 00:10:26.651
To destroy their missile capabilities or degrade
00:10:26.651 --> 00:10:29.253
Them significantly and degrade their nuclear program.
00:10:29.253 --> 00:10:32.290
So they were weakened, but they were not chastened.
00:10:32.290 --> 00:10:35.026
And so we wanted to use this moment of opportunity,
00:10:35.026 --> 00:10:38.196
As they began
00:10:38.196 --> 00:10:39.297
To rebuild their nuclear, force to, to use this moment
00:10:39.297 --> 00:10:42.900
Of opportunity essentially historically,
00:10:42.900 --> 00:10:44.435
To weaken and degrade their, their ability
00:10:44.435 --> 00:10:46.437
To harm the united states and our allies.
00:10:46.437 --> 00:10:48.372
However, we do have other threats.
00:10:48.372 --> 00:10:50.408
The chinese, the russians, the north koreans
00:10:50.408 --> 00:10:53.244
Have all been collaborating
00:10:53.244 --> 00:10:54.512
With the iranians in some facet in various parts of the world
00:10:54.512 --> 00:10:58.149
To harm the united states and our allies.
00:10:58.149 --> 00:11:00.251
This $200 billion supplemental
00:11:00.251 --> 00:11:02.220
That president trump wants from congress
00:11:02.220 --> 00:11:04.222
Will replenish our stocks that we're using in epic fury.
00:11:04.222 --> 00:11:07.992
So my hope is that congress can move very quickly,
00:11:07.992 --> 00:11:11.162
Regardless of what they thought
00:11:11.162 --> 00:11:12.363
About the initiation of the war.
00:11:12.363 --> 00:11:13.664
We are at war now,
00:11:13.664 --> 00:11:15.032
And we do want to replenish those those stocks.
00:11:15.032 --> 00:11:17.902
And i think that,
00:11:17.902 --> 00:11:19.270
If we get this funding,
00:11:19.270 --> 00:11:20.438
We can do this over the next couple of years.
00:11:20.438 --> 00:11:23.207
Well, a lot of democrats wanted to wait
00:11:24.008 --> 00:11:26.043
Until the missiles were already flying
00:11:26.043 --> 00:11:27.512
Across the ocean to call this an imminent threat.
00:11:27.512 --> 00:11:30.681
Democrats oppose anything the president tries to do.
00:11:30.681 --> 00:11:33.484
But do you think they now realize that the united states
00:11:33.484 --> 00:11:35.686
Was facing a nuclear danger in the not too distant future,
00:11:35.686 --> 00:11:39.157
Whether they'll admit it publicly or not?
00:11:39.157 --> 00:11:42.527
Well, i would say that there's been so much focus
00:11:42.527 --> 00:11:45.029
On this word imminent.
00:11:45.029 --> 00:11:46.230
But i would say, look,
00:11:46.230 --> 00:11:47.398
Iran was posing an ongoing threat to the united states
00:11:47.398 --> 00:11:50.168
Just for its support
00:11:50.168 --> 00:11:51.335
For islamist terrorism throughout the middle east.
00:11:51.335 --> 00:11:55.206
After september 11th, when we had americans
00:11:55.206 --> 00:11:57.475
In the middle east fighting al-qaida,
00:11:57.475 --> 00:11:59.443
Know iran was funding proxies throughout the region
00:11:59.443 --> 00:12:02.380
To harm americans.
00:12:02.380 --> 00:12:03.447
So we've lost and maimed
00:12:03.447 --> 00:12:05.583
And they've maimed
00:12:05.583 --> 00:12:06.684
And killed americans for the last several decades.
00:12:06.684 --> 00:12:09.520
So, i would say that just on that point alone,
00:12:09.520 --> 00:12:12.557
They are clearly an enemy of the united states
00:12:12.557 --> 00:12:14.358
And posed an ongoing threat.
00:12:14.358 --> 00:12:15.993
I think that the democrats understand that iran
00:12:15.993 --> 00:12:18.729
With a nuclear weapon and ballistic
00:12:18.729 --> 00:12:20.498
Missiles, is obviously intolerable
00:12:20.498 --> 00:12:22.600
To the united states,
00:12:22.600 --> 00:12:23.501
But there's always been this disagreement
00:12:23.501 --> 00:12:24.869
About how you approach the problem.
00:12:24.869 --> 00:12:27.071
And there's a lot of democrats wedded to this idea
00:12:27.071 --> 00:12:29.874
That the obama nuclear deal was the way to go.
00:12:29.874 --> 00:12:32.743
That's not my view.
00:12:32.743 --> 00:12:33.978
My view is the obama nuclear deal just funded the iran regime
00:12:33.978 --> 00:12:38.282
And did not actually slow their program
00:12:38.282 --> 00:12:40.451
Or cause them to moderate.
00:12:40.451 --> 00:12:41.953
But i think there's still going to be a lot of democrats
00:12:41.953 --> 00:12:43.821
That believed that myth, that that was a better way to go.
00:12:43.821 --> 00:12:47.592
Well, the
00:12:47.892 --> 00:12:49.026
Saudi prince says he'd like to see the war continue.
00:12:49.026 --> 00:12:51.495
On the other hand, pakistan has offered
00:12:51.495 --> 00:12:53.364
To host any peace talks.
00:12:53.364 --> 00:12:54.999
What can you tell us about what's behind the saudi
00:12:54.999 --> 00:12:57.301
Suggestion, as well as the offer from pakistan?
00:12:57.301 --> 00:13:01.339
Well, we have to remember that these as though saudi
00:13:01.339 --> 00:13:04.208
Arabia is
00:13:04.208 --> 00:13:05.376
A really important country in the gulf region, in part
00:13:05.376 --> 00:13:08.346
Because obviously it's a muslim nation.
00:13:08.346 --> 00:13:10.748
These are muslim nations there.
00:13:10.748 --> 00:13:12.016
But saudi arabia in particular is the host of these two
00:13:12.016 --> 00:13:15.620
Holy sites in islam, mecca and medina.
00:13:15.620 --> 00:13:18.656
So the the saudis have had to try to play
00:13:18.656 --> 00:13:22.493
Play this game or publicly.
00:13:22.493 --> 00:13:24.662
They will side with muslim nations.
00:13:24.662 --> 00:13:27.832
They'll be a little bit hawkish or at least cold towards
00:13:27.832 --> 00:13:31.869
Israel, not super close to the united states.
00:13:31.869 --> 00:13:35.740
But privately, the saudi government
00:13:35.740 --> 00:13:38.476
Fully agrees with the united states
00:13:38.476 --> 00:13:40.378
That the iran regime is the largest and most prolific
00:13:40.378 --> 00:13:44.148
Source of terrorism throughout the middle east.
00:13:44.148 --> 00:13:46.684
They're the ones that have been funding the houthis,
00:13:46.684 --> 00:13:48.753
Which are an enemy of the saudis.
00:13:48.753 --> 00:13:50.821
And so the saudis, from just
00:13:50.821 --> 00:13:52.223
A national security perspective, they don't want terrorism
00:13:52.223 --> 00:13:55.259
Running wild throughout the middle east.
00:13:55.259 --> 00:13:56.527
And they understand that iran is their shared adversary
00:13:56.527 --> 00:13:59.263
With the united states as well, that that the united states
00:13:59.263 --> 00:14:01.699
And saudi arabia share iran as an adversary.
00:14:01.699 --> 00:14:04.201
So i think it's remarkable that the saudis are now
00:14:04.201 --> 00:14:06.938
Essentially working with the united states
00:14:06.938 --> 00:14:08.572
And israel
00:14:08.572 --> 00:14:09.807
To counter these drone strikes up against their own country.
00:14:09.807 --> 00:14:13.110
And i think it makes a lot
00:14:13.110 --> 00:14:15.212
Of sense that they would be privately
00:14:15.212 --> 00:14:16.981
Urging president trump not to quit this war too early,
00:14:16.981 --> 00:14:19.650
That we do have a historic moment
00:14:19.650 --> 00:14:21.152
To severely weakened the iran re
00:14:21.152 --> 00:14:24.588
Well, rebecca, we need to take a short break.
00:14:25.456 --> 00:14:27.325
Would you stay for another segment?
00:14:27.325 --> 00:14:29.994
Sure. happy to do so.
00:14:29.994 --> 00:14:31.696
Well, for those of you watching, you could log on to aj now.com
00:14:31.696 --> 00:14:35.066
And share your thoughts with me now.
00:14:35.066 --> 00:14:37.068
I'll respond at a future show.
00:14:37.068 --> 00:14:38.936
We'll be right back.
00:14:38.936 --> 00:14:46.008
We'll be right back.
00:14:46.008 --> 00:14:51.082
We're back now with the hudson
00:14:51.682 --> 00:14:53.217
Institute's foreign policy expert, rebecca heinrichs.
00:14:53.217 --> 00:14:57.621
I'd like to move to the long war between russia and ukraine.
00:14:57.621 --> 00:15:01.392
It's for years now.
00:15:01.392 --> 00:15:03.060
I saw that
00:15:03.060 --> 00:15:03.961
Russia lost so many men that not only
00:15:03.961 --> 00:15:05.229
Are they recruiting from north korea, but africa as well.
00:15:05.229 --> 00:15:09.066
They've been lied to about what they're getting paid.
00:15:09.066 --> 00:15:11.102
And it seems that they're saving what resources they still have
00:15:11.102 --> 00:15:14.538
To buy a lot of cheap weapons.
00:15:14.538 --> 00:15:16.340
Ukraine's vladimir zelensky says that it's not just russia
00:15:16.340 --> 00:15:19.276
Which is arming itself with the new, cheaper weapons.
00:15:19.276 --> 00:15:22.146
Listen to his comments.
00:15:22.146 --> 00:15:24.048
And it is not only about a state launching attacks.
00:15:24.048 --> 00:15:26.951
We must be ready for any kind of strike,
00:15:26.951 --> 00:15:29.854
Including from non-state actors, criminal networks,
00:15:29.854 --> 00:15:33.457
Terrorist groups and even lone attackers
00:15:33.457 --> 00:15:36.627
Who can gain access to such technologies.
00:15:36.627 --> 00:15:40.664
With this spread, with the spread
00:15:40.664 --> 00:15:43.167
Of drones, mass attacks no longer cost billions.
00:15:43.167 --> 00:15:46.370
They cost far less.
00:15:46.370 --> 00:15:48.105
It is no longer only a wealthy madman like putin
00:15:48.105 --> 00:15:51.976
Who can afford this.
00:15:51.976 --> 00:15:53.644
Unfortunately,
00:15:53.644 --> 00:15:56.280
With so much attention on iran, is it less likely
00:15:56.280 --> 00:15:59.784
That a peace plan might be agreed to in ukraine?
00:15:59.784 --> 00:16:03.387
Well, i think it's actually interesting
00:16:03.387 --> 00:16:04.822
Because i think that the
00:16:04.822 --> 00:16:06.057
Conflict with iran is related to russia's war in ukraine,
00:16:06.057 --> 00:16:10.428
Because the we now have, ukrainian military experts
00:16:10.428 --> 00:16:15.499
Who've essentially
00:16:15.499 --> 00:16:16.767
Become the world's experts in countering iranian drones
00:16:16.767 --> 00:16:20.771
Because iran was supplying russia
00:16:20.771 --> 00:16:24.175
With drones to attack ukraine for the last several years.
00:16:24.175 --> 00:16:28.546
So ukraine is on the side of the united states and israel
00:16:28.546 --> 00:16:31.916
In their effort to counter the iran regime.
00:16:31.916 --> 00:16:35.019
It is now in these arab countries teaching these arab
00:16:35.019 --> 00:16:38.956
States and operators and the americans
00:16:38.956 --> 00:16:41.058
Who are there to help, how to counter iranian drones.
00:16:41.058 --> 00:16:44.462
The russians, of course, there's just the media reporting.
00:16:44.462 --> 00:16:47.198
We know, although the us government
00:16:47.198 --> 00:16:49.166
Has been loathe to officially confirm this,
00:16:49.166 --> 00:16:51.268
But we know from media reporting that the russians have,
00:16:51.268 --> 00:16:54.038
In fact, been
00:16:54.038 --> 00:16:54.605
Helping the iran regime
00:16:54.605 --> 00:16:56.307
With targeting of american troops in the region.
00:16:56.307 --> 00:16:58.676
So when you see the iranians very rarely
00:16:58.676 --> 00:17:00.678
Have a successful strike because they're not very good
00:17:00.678 --> 00:17:02.646
At targeting,
00:17:02.646 --> 00:17:03.614
It's almost certainly because the russians
00:17:03.614 --> 00:17:05.216
Have been helping to some degree.
00:17:05.216 --> 00:17:07.017
So getting back to the russia ukraine war, my hope is that
00:17:07.017 --> 00:17:10.054
President trump understands this dynamic much better.
00:17:10.054 --> 00:17:12.957
That things have been clarifying with ukraine's
00:17:12.957 --> 00:17:15.126
Support for our side of the conflict in iran,
00:17:15.126 --> 00:17:17.695
And that the united states now feels and is more empowered
00:17:17.695 --> 00:17:21.298
To fully side with the ukrainians,
00:17:21.298 --> 00:17:23.734
To come at the peace process from a much stronger position
00:17:23.734 --> 00:17:27.438
To compel the russians to back down,
00:17:27.438 --> 00:17:29.507
Because the russians are the aggressors
00:17:29.507 --> 00:17:31.175
And the russians are the ones that keep this,
00:17:31.175 --> 00:17:33.110
This war ongoing against ukraine.
00:17:33.110 --> 00:17:35.679
Well, given the european leadership's
00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:38.215
Lack of interest in helping keep the strait of hormuz open,
00:17:38.215 --> 00:17:41.485
Do you think they're still concerned
00:17:41.485 --> 00:17:42.786
About whether putin might try to push past
00:17:42.786 --> 00:17:44.989
Ukraine and into poland or some other part of europe?
00:17:44.989 --> 00:17:48.125
So this is always my concern.
00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:50.861
My concern is that if russia is not stopped
00:17:50.861 --> 00:17:55.633
In ukraine, at the very least stopped with a frozen
00:17:55.633 --> 00:17:59.336
Sort of a demarcation sort of line,
00:17:59.336 --> 00:18:02.773
And a demilitarized line where they are not granting them
00:18:02.773 --> 00:18:06.677
The jaw.
00:18:06.944 --> 00:18:07.711
That means a legally recognized
00:18:07.711 --> 00:18:09.647
Recognition of the of the territory
00:18:09.647 --> 00:18:11.448
They've occupied in ukraine, but sort of de facto like,
00:18:11.448 --> 00:18:13.684
Look, let's just stop where we are. stop your advance.
00:18:13.684 --> 00:18:16.554
If the united states
00:18:16.554 --> 00:18:17.688
Cannot help negotiate that to support ukraine,
00:18:17.688 --> 00:18:20.925
Then i do believe that the russians will take any territory
00:18:20.925 --> 00:18:24.428
That they can.
00:18:24.428 --> 00:18:25.496
And will continue to push, because the russians
00:18:25.496 --> 00:18:27.965
Ultimate goal is to break the nato alliance,
00:18:27.965 --> 00:18:31.068
Because they understand that that's
00:18:31.068 --> 00:18:32.469
What's good
00:18:32.469 --> 00:18:33.003
For the united states,
00:18:33.003 --> 00:18:33.904
And that's what enables the united states
00:18:33.904 --> 00:18:35.406
To have power projection in the region.
00:18:35.406 --> 00:18:37.808
And the russians ultimately are against the united states.
00:18:37.808 --> 00:18:40.778
So it is my concern.
00:18:40.778 --> 00:18:41.946
I worry about the baltic countries,
00:18:41.946 --> 00:18:43.881
Those small countries estonia, latvia, lithuania, and
00:18:43.881 --> 00:18:46.650
I worry about it.
00:18:46.650 --> 00:18:48.953
We heard
00:18:49.220 --> 00:18:50.454
Today that russia is trying to get under our skin elsewhere.
00:18:50.454 --> 00:18:53.090
They're sailing a ship
00:18:53.090 --> 00:18:54.124
Full of oil to cuba despite the us sanctions.
00:18:54.124 --> 00:18:57.094
What do you think the white house
00:18:57.094 --> 00:18:57.962
Should do, if anything, about that?
00:18:57.962 --> 00:19:01.065
Well, this is raises another great point
00:19:01.065 --> 00:19:03.067
Where you're really connecting
00:19:03.067 --> 00:19:04.168
The dots so well for our viewers, our listeners here.
00:19:04.168 --> 00:19:07.271
And that's that. there really is an axis.
00:19:07.271 --> 00:19:09.807
China supported maduro's venezuela.
00:19:09.807 --> 00:19:12.743
So did russia.
00:19:12.743 --> 00:19:14.044
China and russia supported the iran regime.
00:19:14.044 --> 00:19:17.615
And and of course, they're now, doing some dealings
00:19:17.615 --> 00:19:21.252
And partnerships with the north koreans.
00:19:21.252 --> 00:19:22.920
We've been seeing north korean soldiers,
00:19:22.920 --> 00:19:24.955
Fighting ukrainians on the side of the russians.
00:19:24.955 --> 00:19:27.524
So i think for for when it comes
00:19:27.524 --> 00:19:29.226
To the western hemisphere policy for the trump administration,
00:19:29.226 --> 00:19:32.096
They're on the right track, which is to push the russians
00:19:32.096 --> 00:19:35.065
And the chinese out of the area in our neighborhood
00:19:35.065 --> 00:19:38.569
By continuing to prohibit oil
00:19:38.569 --> 00:19:41.972
And any other kinds of trading from going to and fro, either
00:19:41.972 --> 00:19:45.309
Cuba, or venezuela, which is essentially the policy
00:19:45.309 --> 00:19:49.179
Of the united states. now to do that.
00:19:49.179 --> 00:19:51.181
The last point i'll make on this, it's
00:19:51.181 --> 00:19:52.650
Really interesting to note
00:19:52.650 --> 00:19:54.385
That both russia
00:19:54.385 --> 00:19:55.519
And china had been providing ear defenses and support
00:19:55.519 --> 00:19:58.289
To maduro's venezuela,
00:19:58.289 --> 00:19:59.623
And it did nothing
00:19:59.623 --> 00:20:00.724
Against united states whenever we came in
00:20:00.724 --> 00:20:02.826
And snatched maduro from his bed.
00:20:02.826 --> 00:20:04.561
And it really did not help
00:20:04.561 --> 00:20:06.297
The iranians, because both of those countries
00:20:06.297 --> 00:20:08.332
Were supplying arms to the iranians as well.
00:20:08.332 --> 00:20:10.868
So this has been a great lesson geopolitically in the strength
00:20:10.868 --> 00:20:13.671
Of american weaponry and military competence
00:20:13.671 --> 00:20:16.240
And really the the the weakness of china and russia
00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:19.343
Support to these rogue states.
00:20:19.343 --> 00:20:21.111
Well, one last quick question on iran.
00:20:21.912 --> 00:20:24.148
It's obviously very troubling to think of
00:20:24.148 --> 00:20:25.916
What's going on with the people of iran.
00:20:25.916 --> 00:20:27.985
Tens of thousands shot and killed for protesting.
00:20:27.985 --> 00:20:31.255
Others having to face public hanging.
00:20:31.255 --> 00:20:33.524
Do you think the iranian people have enough strength
00:20:33.524 --> 00:20:35.492
And the tools that
00:20:35.492 --> 00:20:36.727
They would need to overthrow what's left of their leadership?
00:20:36.727 --> 00:20:39.530
So that is certainly my hope.
00:20:40.164 --> 00:20:42.299
I think it's really important to note
00:20:42.299 --> 00:20:44.201
That there's been some misinformation in the media
00:20:44.201 --> 00:20:46.370
That that the united states was perhaps
00:20:46.370 --> 00:20:48.172
Waiting for another protest to come take over that
00:20:48.172 --> 00:20:50.908
That push over the regime. and we haven't seen it yet.
00:20:50.908 --> 00:20:53.210
And that was a misjudgment on the part of the us.
00:20:53.210 --> 00:20:55.145
That's not true.
00:20:55.145 --> 00:20:56.480
We heard admiral cooper, who's the head of,
00:20:56.480 --> 00:20:59.516
The the operation of epic theory.
00:20:59.516 --> 00:21:02.219
He gave a media interview to the iranians yesterday
00:21:02.219 --> 00:21:04.722
Where he said, we're still not ready
00:21:04.722 --> 00:21:06.357
For you to come out of your homes yet.
00:21:06.357 --> 00:21:07.825
Stay in your homes.
00:21:07.825 --> 00:21:09.126
Let the united states finish our military operations
00:21:09.126 --> 00:21:12.162
To make it safer.
00:21:12.162 --> 00:21:13.263
Meanwhile, the israelis are taking out irgc leaders.
00:21:13.263 --> 00:21:17.167
Those are the regime militant leaders and the besiege
00:21:17.167 --> 00:21:20.137
The paramilitary people
00:21:20.137 --> 00:21:21.505
Who have been repressing the iranian people.
00:21:21.505 --> 00:21:24.074
Let us do our job first.
00:21:24.074 --> 00:21:26.276
The when it's safer, the we'll let you know.
00:21:26.276 --> 00:21:28.412
Come out of your homes and then take back
00:21:28.412 --> 00:21:30.080
The future of your country.
00:21:30.080 --> 00:21:31.281
I do think the iranians will have the courage to do that.
00:21:31.281 --> 00:21:34.251
But remember, the iran regime just massacred some reports, say
00:21:34.251 --> 00:21:38.055
33,000 innocent young iranian people just weeks ago.
00:21:38.055 --> 00:21:42.960
Well, rebecca, thank you for helping us through this today.
00:21:44.094 --> 00:21:46.730
We'd love to have you back.
00:21:46.730 --> 00:21:47.798
As things progress.

Thank you. happy to come back.
00:21:50.167 --> 00:21:52.035
In a moment, i'll respond to some of your emails.
00:21:52.035 --> 00:21:54.338
They're coming in from north, the south.
00:21:54.338 --> 00:21:56.273
We'll be right back.
00:21:56.273 --> 00:22:03.007
We'll be right back.
00:22:03.007 --> 00:22:03.849
I used up my email minute learning about iran.
00:22:04.817 --> 00:22:08.521
I hope you enjoyed it as much as i did.
00:22:08.521 --> 00:22:10.790

Share them with a friend.
00:22:17.897 --> 00:22:19.165
Help spread the news. that's how we all learn.
00:22:19.165 --> 00:22:21.867
