Yair Pinto reports on the Israel-Hamas War. Israel eliminates a key Hezbollah-Quds Force operative in Beirut as tensions with Iran escalate across multiple fronts. With airstrikes in Gaza, IDF deployments in Syria and Lebanon, and U.S. forces confronting the Houthis in Yemen, the Middle East is on the edge of full-scale conflict. Meanwhile, hostage negotiations stall and Iran’s threats grow louder, bringing the region closer to a potential turning point.

- Again.
- 00:03:43.006 --> 00:03:44.207
- >> from the biblical times, the enemies of god want to destroy
- 00:03:44.307 --> 00:03:47.644
- Us. so this is what's happening now. another war. israel is
- 00:03:47.644 --> 00:03:51.381

- Forests and healing the land after so much destruction.

- >> there is still so much more to do. israel needs your support
- 00:04:04.160 --> 00:04:07.697
- Now more than ever.
- 00:04:07.697 --> 00:04:09.266
- >> so stand with israel. click on the link below. plant a tree
- 00:04:09.266 --> 00:04:14.004
- And continue to help us rebuild.
- 00:04:14.004 --> 00:04:16.806
- >> from here in jerusalem. it's clear israel will always
- 00:04:16.806 --> 00:04:21.311
- Persevere and stand strong.
- 00:04:21.311 --> 00:04:24.581
- >> a war zone in the gaza strip been under fire by hamas
- 00:04:24.581 --> 00:04:28.418
- Terrorists. you don't have time to sit and drink your coffee and
- 00:04:28.418 --> 00:04:31.588
- Wake up in the morning and get ready for the day and prepare.
- 00:04:31.588 --> 00:04:35.325
- So sometimes i woke up at two in the morning after an hour and a
- 00:04:35.325 --> 00:04:39.095
- Half of sleep, and you need to wake up immediately and do your
- 00:04:39.095 --> 00:04:43.166
- Job and do it to perfection. or people die.
- 00:04:43.166 --> 00:04:46.303
- >> you literally have your life on the line. you don't know what
- 00:04:46.303 --> 00:04:50.006
- Corner you turn and somebody got a gun pointed at you.
- 00:04:50.006 --> 00:04:57.247
- >> so in order to wake up, i just took a vinegar pill and i
- 00:04:57.247 --> 00:05:00.650
- Really felt the energy levels go up faster. the clarity of mind
- 00:05:00.650 --> 00:05:05.021
- That doesn't usually happen immediately when you wake up in
- 00:05:05.021 --> 00:05:08.158
- The morning. and i don't remember taking much stuff with
- 00:05:08.158 --> 00:05:11.328
- Me into the gaza strip. had my sleeping bag, a flashlight, and
- 00:05:11.328 --> 00:05:15.231
- A vineyard bottle. so that's what i had with me.
- 00:05:15.231 --> 00:05:19.202
- >> you're a young person. you're very healthy. but you still
- 00:05:19.202 --> 00:05:22.072
- Think that vinea was helpful to get you to even a higher level
- 00:05:22.072 --> 00:05:26.843
- Of performance?
- 00:05:26.843 --> 00:05:28.078
- >> it's helping me to exceed my normal abilities. so let's say,
- 00:05:28.178 --> 00:05:31.781
- You know, i'm at 100%, and that puts me at 120. we're raising
- 00:05:31.781 --> 00:05:36.286
- Three kids. you need to be sharp to make the right decisions.
- 00:05:36.286 --> 00:05:39.622
- >> raising three kids may be equal to combat. a lot harder, a
- 00:05:39.622 --> 00:05:44.394
- Lot harder. listen, i'm still taking every day because i want
- 00:05:44.394 --> 00:05:47.897
- To be there with my kids when they grow old. they want to be
- 00:05:47.897 --> 00:05:51.668
- Able to dance at their wedding and carry my kids and my
- 00:05:51.668 --> 00:05:54.637
- Grandkids for years to come. and this is the time to start. i
- 00:05:54.637 --> 00:05:57.707
- Mean, when you're young. thank you for coming back.
- 00:05:57.707 --> 00:06:09.219
- And now we'll go to tbn.tv. israel's senior middle east
- 00:06:09.219 --> 00:06:12.922
- Analyst, matti shoshani, who will bring us deeper into the
- 00:06:12.922 --> 00:06:16.659
- Latest details between iran's threats against the united
- 00:06:16.659 --> 00:06:20.296
- States and israel. could iran attack the united states at any
- 00:06:20.296 --> 00:06:24.768
- Moment? over to you, marty.
- 00:06:24.768 --> 00:06:27.070
- >> we're now at a point where it seems like everything in this
- 00:06:27.070 --> 00:06:29.939
- Region between the us, the iranians, israel and all their
- 00:06:29.939 --> 00:06:34.277
- Proxies or the iranian proxies is on a boiling point. in the
- 00:06:34.277 --> 00:06:38.448
- Last couple of weeks, we've gone from vague threats by the us
- 00:06:38.448 --> 00:06:42.786
- Towards the iranians, by the iranians, towards the us and
- 00:06:42.786 --> 00:06:46.289
- Israel, to the point where action is trying to be taken.
- 00:06:46.289 --> 00:06:49.192
- And i'm going to outline the next couple of minutes what's
- 00:06:49.192 --> 00:06:51.928
- Been happening in this region and how close we are to a
- 00:06:51.928 --> 00:06:55.031
- Tipping point in the relationship between the us,
- 00:06:55.031 --> 00:06:58.268
- Iran and israel. iran is trying to set up another fire in this
- 00:06:58.268 --> 00:07:01.838
- Part of the region, to divert attention from what they're
- 00:07:01.838 --> 00:07:04.507
- Doing and to use it as a threat against the us from using power
- 00:07:04.507 --> 00:07:08.077
- Against them. at the same time, us strikes against the houthis
- 00:07:08.077 --> 00:07:11.514
- In northern yemen continue because the houthis continue to
- 00:07:11.514 --> 00:07:15.084
- Launch missiles. and all above this, we have the iranians that
- 00:07:15.084 --> 00:07:18.488
- Are threatening direct attacks against u.s. forces that are
- 00:07:18.488 --> 00:07:23.059
- Amassing in diego garcia, which, trust me, i didn't know where
- 00:07:23.059 --> 00:07:26.162
- This was before we started talking about this just a couple
- 00:07:26.162 --> 00:07:28.798
- Of weeks ago, which is an island in the indian ocean where the us
- 00:07:28.798 --> 00:07:32.735
- Is amassing forces to strike within iran. now, how did we get
- 00:07:32.735 --> 00:07:35.805
- To this moment? how are we at a point where we're talking about
- 00:07:35.805 --> 00:07:39.909
- Actively going into war between israel and iran, the us and
- 00:07:39.909 --> 00:07:42.979
- Possibly several other countries and proxies in this region?
- 00:07:42.979 --> 00:07:46.216
- Well, it's been a treacherous and complicated road leading to
- 00:07:46.216 --> 00:07:48.885
- This moment. first of all, trump comes into office and he makes
- 00:07:48.885 --> 00:07:52.088
- It very clear that he is not willing to go on with business
- 00:07:52.088 --> 00:07:55.825
- As usual with the iranians. what does that mean? the iranians
- 00:07:55.825 --> 00:07:59.128
- Have been systematically delaying, stalling, wasting time
- 00:07:59.128 --> 00:08:02.966
- In negotiations about their nuclear capabilities as it
- 00:08:02.966 --> 00:08:06.035
- Relates to israel and threatening this region for
- 00:08:06.035 --> 00:08:08.404
- Years now. one last thought a war or full on conflict with
- 00:08:08.404 --> 00:08:12.809
- Iran isn't just any other war. this is something we haven't
- 00:08:12.809 --> 00:08:15.712
- Seen in this region ever before. iran is a strong fighting force.
- 00:08:15.712 --> 00:08:19.883
- They have a substantial army in the shape of the irgc, the
- 00:08:19.883 --> 00:08:23.052
- Iranian revolutionary guard corps that is equipped and
- 00:08:23.052 --> 00:08:25.822
- Trained to disrupt trade and disrupt the governance of
- 00:08:25.822 --> 00:08:29.025
- Countries throughout this region. they've been fighting a
- 00:08:29.025 --> 00:08:31.528
- Proxy war in this region for most of my life. not just adult
- 00:08:31.528 --> 00:08:35.231
- Life, but my life altogether. they've been a force that's been
- 00:08:35.231 --> 00:08:38.334
- Disrupting and spreading terrorism and violence. and when
- 00:08:38.334 --> 00:08:41.170
- We go to war with iran, if that day happens, it will reshape
- 00:08:41.170 --> 00:08:44.607
- This region. it will leave iran, or specifically the iranian
- 00:08:44.607 --> 00:08:48.811
- Government, in a pile of burning debris of what their government
- 00:08:48.811 --> 00:08:52.615
- Used to be. and it will reshape the trade, the governments and
- 00:08:52.615 --> 00:08:55.785
- The power balances of this region have no doubt israel, and
- 00:08:55.785 --> 00:08:59.822
- Of course, through its main ally, the us, will be victorious
- 00:08:59.822 --> 00:09:02.892
- In this conflict against the iranians. and when that happens,
- 00:09:02.892 --> 00:09:06.462
- That will be the dawn of a new day for the people of iran, for
- 00:09:06.462 --> 00:09:09.532
- The people of israel, and for everyone around this region. and
- 00:09:09.532 --> 00:09:12.402
- Let me remind you that everything in the end goes back
- 00:09:12.402 --> 00:09:15.939
- To people. the people of this region have been suffering the
- 00:09:15.939 --> 00:09:18.841
- Violence and the destruction and the devastation that the iranian
- 00:09:18.841 --> 00:09:21.945
- Islamic regime brings to this part of the world. and they
- 00:09:21.945 --> 00:09:24.747
- Deserve better than that. and what this war could bring is
- 00:09:24.747 --> 00:09:27.450
- Temporary violence and disruption. but in the long run,
- 00:09:27.450 --> 00:09:30.453
- Bringing down the islamic government, the radical
- 00:09:30.453 --> 00:09:33.089
- Government that's been leading the iranian people for decades
- 00:09:33.089 --> 00:09:36.059
- Is the right way to go. and that's the only way where things
- 00:09:36.059 --> 00:09:40.229
- Get better for the people of this part of the world.
- 00:09:40.229 --> 00:09:42.599
- >> thank you, matthew shoshani, for clarifying these things for
- 00:09:42.599 --> 00:09:45.568
- Us. now we will move on to the investigative report we recently
- 00:09:45.568 --> 00:09:50.540
- Released on the connection between russia, china and the
- 00:09:50.540 --> 00:09:54.611
- Axis of evil. hope you like it. president trump is making a bold
- 00:09:54.611 --> 00:09:59.482
- Move to try and solve the ongoing conflict over iran's
- 00:09:59.482 --> 00:10:02.619
- Nuclear program. at the beginning of this month, march
- 00:10:02.619 --> 00:10:07.790
- 2025, he announced that he had sent a letter to iran's supreme
- 00:10:07.790 --> 00:10:11.728
- Leader ayatollah ali khamenei, urging iran to negotiate a new
- 00:10:11.728 --> 00:10:16.432
- Nuclear peace agreement. trump made it clear that if diplomacy
- 00:10:16.432 --> 00:10:20.937
- Doesn't work, military action could be the alternative, saying
- 00:10:20.937 --> 00:10:26.142
- There are two ways that iran can be handled militarily or you
- 00:10:26.142 --> 00:10:31.481
- Make a deal. i would prefer to make a deal. since trump's first
- 00:10:31.481 --> 00:10:37.920
- Term, iran has progressively expanded its nuclear activities,
- 00:10:37.920 --> 00:10:42.291
- Enriching uranium up to 60%, which is just short of weapons
- 00:10:42.291 --> 00:10:47.363
- Grade level. with iran now closer than ever to developing
- 00:10:47.363 --> 00:10:52.235
- Nuclear weapons, trump is pushing for a diplomatic
- 00:10:52.235 --> 00:10:56.305
- Breakthrough. a nuclear armed iran would pose an existential
- 00:10:56.305 --> 00:11:00.109
- Threat to israel and could trigger an all out war in this
- 00:11:00.109 --> 00:11:04.280
- Region. to the world's surprise, trump has turned to america's
- 00:11:04.280 --> 00:11:09.285
- Greatest rival, russian president vladimir putin, to
- 00:11:09.285 --> 00:11:13.589
- Mediate talks between washington and tehran. so let's break down
- 00:11:13.589 --> 00:11:17.760
- The obvious. trump's seems to be working pretty much on practical
- 00:11:17.760 --> 00:11:22.565
- And strategic decisions, rather than ideology or moral
- 00:11:22.565 --> 00:11:27.637
- Principles. iran has outright refused to negotiate directly
- 00:11:27.637 --> 00:11:31.407
- With trump and his administration, calling the
- 00:11:31.407 --> 00:11:34.510
- United states the big satan and israel the little satan. they
- 00:11:34.510 --> 00:11:38.514
- Don't trust trump because during his first term, he pulled the
- 00:11:38.514 --> 00:11:42.752
- United states out of the 2015 jcpoa nuclear deal, which had
- 00:11:42.752 --> 00:11:48.524
- Limited iran's nuclear program in exchange for lifting
- 00:11:48.524 --> 00:11:52.528
- Sanctions and instead hit iran with harsh economic penalties.
- 00:11:52.528 --> 00:11:57.800
- Tehran sees no reason to talk to a leader who broke the last
- 00:11:57.800 --> 00:12:03.072
- Deal. today we're diving into this crazy unfolding story.
- 00:12:03.072 --> 00:12:07.543
- Could russia and america actually be teaming up with
- 00:12:07.543 --> 00:12:11.881
- Iran? agreed to stop building a nuclear bomb? and most
- 00:12:11.881 --> 00:12:16.285
- Importantly, what does this mean for israel? stick around as we
- 00:12:16.285 --> 00:12:21.657
- Break it all down. but first, don't forget to like, share and
- 00:12:21.657 --> 00:12:26.929
- Subscribe so you stay ahead of the story as it happens. it's
- 00:12:26.929 --> 00:12:37.406
- Hard to overstate how surprising this turn of events is. for
- 00:12:37.406 --> 00:12:42.111
- Decades, washington and moscow have been adversaries on the
- 00:12:42.111 --> 00:12:46.149
- Global stage, with tension rising over ukraine and a new
- 00:12:46.149 --> 00:12:50.720
- Cold war like standoff. trump's relationship with putin has
- 00:12:50.720 --> 00:12:55.057
- Always been controversial. the united states policy has treated
- 00:12:55.057 --> 00:12:59.829
- Russia and iran as opponents. yet now putin is stepping up
- 00:12:59.829 --> 00:13:05.535
- Into mediate us-iran talks with the kremlin, promising to help
- 00:13:05.535 --> 00:13:10.540
- Resolve the nuclear dispute. this is something few would have
- 00:13:10.540 --> 00:13:15.211
- Expected anywhere in the world. i'm meeting with matti shoshani
- 00:13:15.211 --> 00:13:18.781
- Here at the russian orthodox complex in jerusalem. this
- 00:13:18.781 --> 00:13:23.452
- Historic russian compound was built in 1890 for russian
- 00:13:23.452 --> 00:13:29.992
- Pilgrims. it symbolizes russia's deep culture and its religious
- 00:13:29.992 --> 00:13:34.263
- Ties to jerusalem, and serves as a hub for the russian community
- 00:13:34.263 --> 00:13:38.634
- In israel.
- 00:13:38.634 --> 00:13:39.702
- >> good to see you.
- 00:13:39.702 --> 00:13:40.703
- >> long time no see. yeah. surviving the army.
- 00:13:40.703 --> 00:13:43.072
- >> i'm doing okay. ready to be a civilian again? we're in. what
- 00:13:43.072 --> 00:13:47.677
- We. what we call in jerusalem. sergei's square or yard? and the
- 00:13:47.677 --> 00:13:53.082
- Russian compound. several hundred years ago, the russians,
- 00:13:53.082 --> 00:13:56.319
- The british, the french, the austrians.
- 00:13:56.319 --> 00:13:59.155
- >> all wanted a piece of it.
- 00:13:59.155 --> 00:14:00.756
- >> they all had.
- 00:14:00.756 --> 00:14:01.657
- >> a piece of it.
- 00:14:01.657 --> 00:14:02.925
- >> they came and bought land in downtown jerusalem, in the old
- 00:14:02.925 --> 00:14:05.928
- City. and these buildings still belong to them today. in fact,
- 00:14:05.928 --> 00:14:08.564
- One of the regional courts in jerusalem is inside a russian
- 00:14:08.564 --> 00:14:12.902
- Owned compound. true, there are churches here. there are
- 00:14:12.902 --> 00:14:16.472
- Businesses that are within the russian operating buildings.
- 00:14:16.472 --> 00:14:20.009
- Beautiful, beautiful area, very complex politics.
- 00:14:20.009 --> 00:14:22.812
- >> yeah, definitely talking about politics. russia and the
- 00:14:22.812 --> 00:14:25.514
- United states have been at odds for, i don't know, many, many
- 00:14:25.514 --> 00:14:29.118
- Years, the cold war. you know, it's very dramatic situation.
- 00:14:29.118 --> 00:14:32.288
- >> the movies of.
- 00:14:32.288 --> 00:14:32.855
- >> the 80s. yeah.
- 00:14:32.855 --> 00:14:33.589
- >> i'm just kidding.
- 00:14:33.589 --> 00:14:35.191
- >> russia and the us have.
- 00:14:35.191 --> 00:14:36.726
- >> been at odds, fighting to be the.
- 00:14:36.726 --> 00:14:38.494
- >> superpower of not all the world, but much of the world.
- 00:14:38.494 --> 00:14:41.764
- And this goes back all the way to the end of world war two. the
- 00:14:41.764 --> 00:14:46.435
- Cold war. and now we're back in this really weird place in the
- 00:14:46.435 --> 00:14:48.704
- Relationship where it seems like there are these weird mix of
- 00:14:48.704 --> 00:14:50.673
- Frenemies. under president biden, russia's the enemy. the
- 00:14:50.673 --> 00:14:53.542
- Us hugely supports the defense of ukrainian war against russia.
- 00:14:53.542 --> 00:14:57.046
- They give them a huge amount of equipment. they give them a
- 00:14:57.046 --> 00:14:59.515
- Whole bunch of political support. they rally up europe to
- 00:14:59.515 --> 00:15:02.818
- Support them. and russia continues to be sort of like
- 00:15:02.818 --> 00:15:05.521
- This big evil trump comes into office. everything changes
- 00:15:05.521 --> 00:15:08.691
- Completely. one, he starts making a bunch of positive
- 00:15:08.691 --> 00:15:11.327
- Statements about the russian government and about president
- 00:15:11.327 --> 00:15:13.663
- Putin personally. personally. and a whole bunch of negative
- 00:15:13.663 --> 00:15:17.400
- Statements against ukrainian president zelensky. there's two
- 00:15:17.400 --> 00:15:19.769
- Games that play in the in the american politics right now. and
- 00:15:19.769 --> 00:15:23.005
- I should say american international footprint. one is
- 00:15:23.005 --> 00:15:26.442
- What are they doing directly. and 2 in 5 years. in three years
- 00:15:26.442 --> 00:15:30.546
- At the end of trump's term, who are their enemies and who are
- 00:15:30.546 --> 00:15:33.582
- Their allies? when you look at us relations around the world,
- 00:15:33.582 --> 00:15:37.553
- You have to think about the fact that they're fighting in
- 00:15:37.553 --> 00:15:40.589
- Multiple fronts or have multiple fronts that they need to be
- 00:15:40.589 --> 00:15:42.591
- Considering. so russia plays into that, and now we can go
- 00:15:42.591 --> 00:15:45.528
- Back to where we are today. the us going to the russian
- 00:15:45.528 --> 00:15:49.265
- Government in a sort of indirect way and saying, hey guys, maybe
- 00:15:49.265 --> 00:15:52.134
- You want to be part of the conversation we're having with
- 00:15:52.134 --> 00:15:55.571
- Iran.
- 00:15:55.571 --> 00:15:56.672
- >> but why would they want to help the us against iran?
- 00:15:56.772 --> 00:15:58.774
- Because iran is supplying drones and weapons to russia in its war
- 00:15:58.774 --> 00:16:03.079
- Against ukraine. and also iran is buying weapons from russia.
- 00:16:03.079 --> 00:16:07.149
- >> it's complicated.
- 00:16:07.149 --> 00:16:09.285
- >> it's complicated. so. so it's almost as if we're talking to
- 00:16:09.385 --> 00:16:11.887
- The same people but different conversations. so one
- 00:16:11.887 --> 00:16:14.256
- Conversation the us government is having is ukraine and russia.
- 00:16:14.256 --> 00:16:18.627
- Yeah, that's one conversation. president trump has been
- 00:16:18.627 --> 00:16:21.130
- Incredibly clear. we want to have an agreement as soon as
- 00:16:21.130 --> 00:16:23.866
- Possible as as strong as possible. and we're not sure
- 00:16:23.866 --> 00:16:26.535
- It's going to be for the best of the ukraine. that's their words,
- 00:16:26.535 --> 00:16:29.939
- Not my words. that's one one topic of conversation. that
- 00:16:29.939 --> 00:16:32.475
- Thought bubble is completely separate from the next thought
- 00:16:32.475 --> 00:16:35.378
- Bubble, which is the middle east and in the middle east, the us
- 00:16:35.378 --> 00:16:38.314
- And israel and everyone else. we want to have an agreement as
- 00:16:38.314 --> 00:16:42.685
- Fast as possible. israel can't continue to fight indefinitely,
- 00:16:42.685 --> 00:16:45.454
- And the us wants to be able to sort of, you know, set a flag in
- 00:16:45.454 --> 00:16:49.325
- The ground and say.
- 00:16:49.325 --> 00:16:49.992
- >> we're back.
- 00:16:49.992 --> 00:16:51.527
- >> we're back. we won. we bartered this deal. let's move
- 00:16:51.527 --> 00:16:54.363
- On from this conversation. and to do that, they're saying some
- 00:16:54.363 --> 00:16:56.632
- Very strong words. they're saying, on the one hand, we're
- 00:16:56.632 --> 00:16:59.402
- Willing to use military action against the iranians.
- 00:16:59.402 --> 00:17:02.171
- >> yeah. that's one that's a letter of trump to khamenei.
- 00:17:02.171 --> 00:17:05.374
- Yes. like we might do this peacefully or we can send our
- 00:17:05.374 --> 00:17:09.311
- Forces in. your choice.
- 00:17:09.311 --> 00:17:10.446
- >> exactly. and we'd rather do it the nice way.
- 00:17:10.446 --> 00:17:12.748
- >> yeah.
- 00:17:12.748 --> 00:17:13.916
- >> we would rather do it the nice way. so if we can do it the
- 00:17:14.016 --> 00:17:16.719
- Nice way, we need to have an agreement. but so far, the
- 00:17:16.719 --> 00:17:20.689
- Iranians have expressed incredible distrust of the
- 00:17:20.689 --> 00:17:21.757
- Americans.
- 00:17:21.757 --> 00:17:22.958
- >> yeah, there have been. keep chanting death to america, death
- 00:17:23.059 --> 00:17:24.794
- To israel. america is the big satan. israel is the small
- 00:17:24.794 --> 00:17:27.763
- Satan.
- 00:17:27.763 --> 00:17:29.065
- >> but but it's more than that. they go back to trump's previous
- 00:17:29.065 --> 00:17:31.567
- Term and they say when he was in office, he withdrew from the
- 00:17:31.567 --> 00:17:34.603
- Agreement we had. yeah, he left the sanctions or applied
- 00:17:34.603 --> 00:17:37.406
- Sanctions to us that were still sort of suffering from today. we
- 00:17:37.406 --> 00:17:40.609
- Don't want to go back into that. and we also don't want to
- 00:17:40.609 --> 00:17:44.313
- Negotiate when there's no good trust. and the trust that's
- 00:17:44.313 --> 00:17:46.882
- Missing in their mind is, is that the us is saying we can do
- 00:17:46.882 --> 00:17:49.919
- This nicely or we're going to punch you in the face. right
- 00:17:49.919 --> 00:17:53.589
- Now, the us goes to russia in an indirect way and says, maybe
- 00:17:53.589 --> 00:17:56.826
- You're the ones who can help bring them to the table and
- 00:17:56.826 --> 00:17:59.595
- Barter some kind of deal.
- 00:17:59.595 --> 00:18:00.863
- >> and they can, because russia is like a key ally partner of
- 00:18:00.863 --> 00:18:03.866
- Iran.
- 00:18:03.866 --> 00:18:05.067
- >> yes. i don't know that their interests are aligned. they've
- 00:18:05.167 --> 00:18:06.802
- Had a very, very long and very tense relationship. they do sell
- 00:18:06.802 --> 00:18:10.306
- A lot of weapons to each other. and russia always was a big
- 00:18:10.306 --> 00:18:13.809
- Supplier of the iranians and also a big buyer of what they
- 00:18:13.809 --> 00:18:17.813
- Have to sell.
- 00:18:17.813 --> 00:18:19.415
- >> yeah, they buy a lot of drones. and then iran bought a
- 00:18:19.415 --> 00:18:22.451
- Lot of s-300 aerial defense systems. so it goes both ways.
- 00:18:22.451 --> 00:18:26.422
- >> exactly.
- 00:18:26.422 --> 00:18:27.556
- >> the old west versus east divide isn't so clear anymore.
- 00:18:27.656 --> 00:18:30.926
- The united states president and a russian leader are teaming up,
- 00:18:30.926 --> 00:18:36.065
- While europe and iran watch with doubt. the world isn't just two
- 00:18:36.065 --> 00:18:42.371
- Sides fighting for control. it's a messy, shifting game where
- 00:18:42.371 --> 00:18:47.276
- Unexpected alliances are forming. but for israel, at this
- 00:18:47.276 --> 00:18:51.480
- Point, it's less about the alliance and more about the
- 00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:55.151
- Nuclear deal. no country is more anxious about iran's nuclear
- 00:18:55.151 --> 00:19:01.157
- Program than israel. for israel, the prospect of a new iran deal
- 00:19:01.157 --> 00:19:06.195
- Mediated by russia elicits a mix of cautious optimism and
- 00:19:06.195 --> 00:19:12.501
- Concerns. on one hand, anything that stops iran's ability to
- 00:19:12.501 --> 00:19:16.672
- Build a nuclear weapon is a welcome development for the
- 00:19:16.672 --> 00:19:20.142
- Israeli security. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has long
- 00:19:20.142 --> 00:19:24.680
- Warned that a nuclear armed iran would pose an existential threat
- 00:19:24.680 --> 00:19:29.018
- To the jewish state. if putin's involvement can help seal an
- 00:19:29.018 --> 00:19:33.556
- Agreement that actually stops iran short of the bomb, israel
- 00:19:33.556 --> 00:19:38.060
- Would be happy. but this is a i took anna for our second date,
- 00:19:38.060 --> 00:19:42.831
- My wife for our second date. there you eat together with
- 00:19:42.831 --> 00:19:45.935
- Other people and eat soup. basically.
- 00:19:45.935 --> 00:19:48.337
- >> it's a very cheap restaurant.
- 00:19:48.337 --> 00:19:49.605
- >> yeah, it's super cheap. it's like not a place. not romantic
- 00:19:49.605 --> 00:19:52.808
- At all. she keeps reminding me of this.
- 00:19:52.808 --> 00:19:54.843
- >> i'm going to keep that off my date list for now.
- 00:19:54.843 --> 00:20:00.216
- >> take a look at this amazing coffee shop in jerusalem. so
- 00:20:00.216 --> 00:20:06.689
- Matti got hungry and tired, and he needs coffee to keep filming
- 00:20:06.689 --> 00:20:11.360
- Today. so that's why we're here in the middle of the program.
- 00:20:11.360 --> 00:20:14.730
- It's very hard to work with this guy. you know.
- 00:20:14.730 --> 00:20:16.865
- >> this place, kadosh i've been coming to since i was a child.
- 00:20:16.865 --> 00:20:19.969
- And it always was. some of the best pastries in the city.
- 00:20:19.969 --> 00:20:23.239
- Amazing pastries. if you're into french stuff.
- 00:20:23.239 --> 00:20:26.242
- >> matti remembers all of our coffee choices.
- 00:20:26.242 --> 00:20:28.777
- >> very good at ordering things.
- 00:20:28.777 --> 00:20:30.546
- >> yeah.
- 00:20:30.546 --> 00:20:31.847
- >> cappuccino for the tall guy.
- 00:20:31.847 --> 00:20:33.282
- >> you know, big or small.
- 00:20:33.282 --> 00:20:35.517
- >> anyway, where were we? let's lay the groundwork on this.
- 00:20:35.517 --> 00:20:38.454
- Everyone around the world understands that if iran gets a
- 00:20:38.454 --> 00:20:40.689
- Nuclear bomb, it's a problem for the world for two reasons.
- 00:20:40.689 --> 00:20:44.093
- >> one, they they vowed to destroy israel and the united
- 00:20:44.093 --> 00:20:47.429
- States. you know.
- 00:20:47.429 --> 00:20:48.731
- >> one, they've been there. they are the most honest people that
- 00:20:48.731 --> 00:20:50.899
- You can find when it comes to their malicious intent. google
- 00:20:50.899 --> 00:20:54.136
- This. what did iran say they would do with the nuclear bomb?
- 00:20:54.136 --> 00:20:56.772
- >> yes. destroy israel. everything is clear. no.
- 00:20:56.772 --> 00:20:59.108
- >> no question. israel destroy the us, destroy the western way
- 00:20:59.108 --> 00:21:01.910
- Of life. their whole m.o. is, is proliferation. they send out
- 00:21:01.910 --> 00:21:05.781
- Whatever they have, whatever weapons, whatever technology,
- 00:21:05.781 --> 00:21:08.384
- Whatever funds, every crazy terrorist that they can find
- 00:21:08.384 --> 00:21:10.786
- Within 2000km. funded by them.
- 00:21:10.786 --> 00:21:12.588
- >> so what's going to happen if the iranians get a bomb? one, it
- 00:21:12.588 --> 00:21:16.058
- Makes it incredibly difficult for israel to attack them,
- 00:21:16.058 --> 00:21:18.661
- Because you have now mad mutual mutual assured destruction.
- 00:21:18.661 --> 00:21:22.131
- >> yes. so if they launch a nuclear weapon at israel, israel
- 00:21:22.131 --> 00:21:24.800
- Will launch a nuclear weapon at them, and then both both
- 00:21:24.800 --> 00:21:27.603
- Countries will be annihilated.
- 00:21:27.603 --> 00:21:29.138
- >> exactly. so we're in a an impasse where we just simply
- 00:21:29.138 --> 00:21:32.875
- Can't have them have a bomb. so it's a bad thing for iran to
- 00:21:32.875 --> 00:21:36.812
- Have a nuclear bomb. they've done a lot to get a bomb,
- 00:21:36.812 --> 00:21:39.982
- Including try to buy one from north korea, including try to
- 00:21:39.982 --> 00:21:41.817
- Buy one from the russians. there's three, three pieces
- 00:21:41.817 --> 00:21:44.887
- Uranium, which you can or buy off the shelf from a country
- 00:21:44.887 --> 00:21:47.489
- That is willing to sell it to you or enrich yourself. they
- 00:21:47.489 --> 00:21:51.060
- Enrich themselves. two warhead you need. you need to create the
- 00:21:51.060 --> 00:21:53.829
- Chain reaction that turns enriched uranium into a nuclear
- 00:21:53.829 --> 00:21:56.799
- Bomb. they don't have that yet. and the third one is delivery.
- 00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:00.069
- And delivery is. ballistic missile icbms, intercontinental
- 00:22:00.069 --> 00:22:03.005
- Ballistic missiles, or dropping it out of a plane the way the
- 00:22:03.005 --> 00:22:06.141
- Americans did in in japan or submarine with like a sea to
- 00:22:06.141 --> 00:22:11.347
- Surface missile. they don't have those and they don't have the
- 00:22:11.347 --> 00:22:14.850
- Air force capability. they do have icbms. they're not the most
- 00:22:14.850 --> 00:22:18.821
- Accurate and they're not the most reliable.
- 00:22:18.821 --> 00:22:20.889
- >> they're training and advancing with with the houthis
- 00:22:20.889 --> 00:22:23.959
- Now, i mean, launching the missiles.
- 00:22:23.959 --> 00:22:25.194
- >> if they had ten warheads, there would be enough. yes. so
- 00:22:25.194 --> 00:22:28.030
- We're on this race against time to stop them completely. and
- 00:22:28.030 --> 00:22:31.767
- Israel and the us have been talking openly about exploring a
- 00:22:31.767 --> 00:22:35.304
- Military option in iran. and what that means is, is not we're
- 00:22:35.304 --> 00:22:38.707
- Going to launch the missiles, is that we're taking our air force
- 00:22:38.707 --> 00:22:42.311
- Together with american b-1 bombers and american attack
- 00:22:42.311 --> 00:22:45.013
- Fleets.
- 00:22:45.013 --> 00:22:46.115
- >> yeah. and using bunker buster bombs to penetrate their
- 00:22:46.215 --> 00:22:49.084
- Underground nuclear facilities. and also it will collapse the
- 00:22:49.084 --> 00:22:52.388
- Government. it will collapse the regime in iran.
- 00:22:52.388 --> 00:22:54.590
- >> yes. and this isn't just talk. the us air force and the
- 00:22:54.590 --> 00:22:58.127
- Israeli air force have been practicing together, doing,
- 00:22:58.127 --> 00:23:00.863
- Carrying out for years now, not just recently carrying out
- 00:23:00.863 --> 00:23:03.465
- Bombing missions in iran. now we don't fly into iranian
- 00:23:03.465 --> 00:23:06.001
- Direction, but it's the same mission type that's been flown
- 00:23:06.001 --> 00:23:09.371
- To the west that can just be flipped and put in the right
- 00:23:09.371 --> 00:23:12.541
- Coordinates and do the same attack to the east, to the south
- 00:23:12.541 --> 00:23:15.577
- East, i guess, to iran. we have the air force. they have the
- 00:23:15.577 --> 00:23:20.048
- Americans have the ability to drop that level of munitions. we
- 00:23:20.048 --> 00:23:22.718
- Have the bunker busting capabilities. and israel has
- 00:23:22.718 --> 00:23:26.088
- Just received a huge amount of supplies from the american
- 00:23:26.088 --> 00:23:29.491
- Government that can be used against the iranians.
- 00:23:29.491 --> 00:23:31.593
- >> and we already took off all their aerial defense systems,
- 00:23:31.593 --> 00:23:35.898
- Especially the ones that are defending their military assets
- 00:23:35.898 --> 00:23:38.834
- In the previous assault, after they launched missiles at us, we
- 00:23:38.834 --> 00:23:42.604
- Destroyed their s-300 defensive systems.
- 00:23:42.604 --> 00:23:44.773
- >> if you would have asked a year ago, is it feasible to
- 00:23:44.773 --> 00:23:48.377
- Carry out an attack in iran? no one would be able, even at the
- 00:23:48.377 --> 00:23:51.747
- Highest levels of israeli intelligence, no one would be
- 00:23:51.747 --> 00:23:53.882
- Able to answer the outcome. will the israeli air force be able to
- 00:23:53.882 --> 00:23:57.886
- Do it? will our intelligence be correct? will we be able to
- 00:23:57.886 --> 00:24:00.722
- Overcome the air defense systems that the russians sold to the
- 00:24:00.722 --> 00:24:04.226
- Iranians? we've answered and like, let's call it a ten item
- 00:24:04.226 --> 00:24:07.429
- List. we've answered eight of those items already in action.
- 00:24:07.429 --> 00:24:10.699
- And now the only question is a question of timing and what
- 00:24:10.699 --> 00:24:14.503
- Casualties we're going to take doing it. so we're in a really
- 00:24:14.503 --> 00:24:16.839
- Good place on that. and just to wrap this all up, today, unlike
- 00:24:16.839 --> 00:24:21.343
- A year ago, the question of whether or not the us and israel
- 00:24:21.343 --> 00:24:25.614
- Can attack iran is a clear yes. the question of whether the
- 00:24:25.614 --> 00:24:28.050
- American administration is willing to put maximum pressure
- 00:24:28.050 --> 00:24:31.019
- On the iranian government absolute. yes. and now the
- 00:24:31.019 --> 00:24:34.790
- Question is how will the iranians respond and what the
- 00:24:34.790 --> 00:24:38.026
- Russian part in that agreement will be? and that's a very
- 00:24:38.026 --> 00:24:40.929
- Interesting place to be in.
- 00:24:40.929 --> 00:24:42.564
- >> yeah. we're gonna wait and see.
- 00:24:42.564 --> 00:24:44.500
- >> yeah. i'm starving.
- 00:24:44.500 --> 00:24:47.603
- >> as always. as always, as always. we get we get paid with
- 00:24:47.603 --> 00:24:54.042
- Lunches and food and hamburgers. that's the only payment. ever
- 00:24:54.042 --> 00:24:55.878
- Since trump's decision to involve putin in nuclear talks
- 00:24:55.878 --> 00:25:00.148
- With iran has opened a new, unprecedented chapter in global
- 00:25:00.148 --> 00:25:05.420
- Diplomacy. it could prevent a nuclear crisis or trigger a
- 00:25:05.420 --> 00:25:10.893
- Dangerous compromise, depending on how negotiations unfold.
- 00:25:10.893 --> 00:25:16.598
- While the whole world watches, the shifting alliances between
- 00:25:16.598 --> 00:25:21.103
- Washington, moscow and tehran, no country is more affected than
- 00:25:21.103 --> 00:25:26.008
- Israel. for israel, this is not just a diplomatic experiment.
- 00:25:26.008 --> 00:25:30.812
- It's a matter of survival with deep security concerns and
- 00:25:30.812 --> 00:25:35.417
- Little faith in outside guarantees, israel is keeping
- 00:25:35.417 --> 00:25:39.621
- All options on the table, including military action. if
- 00:25:39.621 --> 00:25:43.926
- Diplomacy fails, this high stakes deal may reshape global
- 00:25:43.926 --> 00:25:49.798
- Power dynamics. but for israel, one thing remains certain its
- 00:25:49.798 --> 00:25:55.304
- Security comes first, no matter who is at the negotiating table.
- 00:25:55.304 --> 00:26:00.442
- And with god's always on our side, we know it will all work
- 00:26:00.442 --> 00:26:05.814
- Out for the best in the end. i really hope you enjoyed the
- 00:26:05.814 --> 00:26:13.722
- Content that we bring you one second before we continue to
- 00:26:13.722 --> 00:26:17.326
- Pray together for israel. we'll take a short commercial break
- 00:26:17.326 --> 00:26:21.096
- And we'll be right back. steve wheatcroft's recent activity to
- 00:26:21.096 --> 00:26:30.539

- Me, marty, our families and all the people of israel. your
- 00:27:34.149 --> 00:27:39.921
- Prayers mean the world for us. so here are some important
- 00:27:39.921 --> 00:27:43.825
- Prayer points that god placed on my heart in recent days. and i
- 00:27:43.825 --> 00:27:48.196
- Want to tell you that i'm struggling with some of them. i
- 00:27:48.196 --> 00:27:51.967
- Feel like i should pray for our enemies, for the houthis, for
- 00:27:51.967 --> 00:27:56.171
- Hamas, for iran, for hezbollah, for the bad guys. and it's hard.
- 00:27:56.171 --> 00:28:01.209
- It's hard to pray for someone that is launching ballistic
- 00:28:01.209 --> 00:28:05.247
- Missiles at you every day. but i don't mean praying for them to
- 00:28:05.247 --> 00:28:09.618
- Win. i mean praying for them to feel god's love in their hearts
- 00:28:09.618 --> 00:28:14.055
- And for them to stop hating israel. god can do that. this is
- 00:28:14.055 --> 00:28:18.894
- A spiritual war and god is already doing the impossible,
- 00:28:18.894 --> 00:28:23.899
- Unimaginable miracles. so let's pray and let god do his thing.
- 00:28:23.899 --> 00:28:29.070
- Let's also pray for the return of our hostages and for the idf
- 00:28:29.070 --> 00:28:33.175
- Soldiers wherever they are. and let's unite in prayer for the
- 00:28:33.175 --> 00:28:37.412
- Peace of jerusalem.
- 00:28:37.479 --> 00:28:44.000
