  • Deployed to the island base of diego garcia in the indian

  • Ocean. this puts them within easy striking distance of iran
  • 00:08:59.492 --> 00:09:03.529
  • And yemen, sending a clear message to the ayatollahs. is
  • 00:09:03.529 --> 00:09:07.667
  • This just a tactic to gain some advantages in the negotiations
  • 00:09:07.667 --> 00:09:11.771
  • Over iran's nuclear program, or is it already too late for
  • 00:09:11.771 --> 00:09:15.341

  • 00:11:42.154 --> 00:11:48.327
  • Ready. i'm meeting with marty shoshani here at jason's tomb in
  • 00:11:48.327 --> 00:11:52.665
  • Jerusalem, which dates back to around the time of the second
  • 00:11:52.665 --> 00:11:56.535
  • Temple. interestingly, a few centuries earlier. the ancient
  • 00:11:56.535 --> 00:12:01.607
  • Iranian persian empire king cyrus the great issued a decree
  • 00:12:01.607 --> 00:12:05.911
  • Allowing the jewish exiles to return to jerusalem and rebuild
  • 00:12:05.911 --> 00:12:10.416
  • The city. reflecting on history. despite current tensions between
  • 00:12:10.416 --> 00:12:15.321
  • Israel and iran, there was a time when these nations were
  • 00:12:15.321 --> 00:12:19.892
  • Allies. perhaps in the future, such a relationship can be
  • 00:12:19.892 --> 00:12:24.764
  • Rekindled. i'm hungry.
  • 00:12:24.764 --> 00:12:28.033
  • >> i am too always.
  • 00:12:28.033 --> 00:12:29.135
  • >> let's go eat some pizza. we're gonna eat the most
  • 00:12:29.135 --> 00:12:33.105
  • American thing, which is actually italian.
  • 00:12:33.105 --> 00:12:35.274
  • >> in fact, did you know that pizza is actually an israeli
  • 00:12:35.274 --> 00:12:38.811
  • Invention?
  • 00:12:38.811 --> 00:12:40.012
  • >> yes. they first invented the pizza, then the falafel, then
  • 00:12:40.112 --> 00:12:41.647
  • The hummus. but because the romans were in control of
  • 00:12:41.647 --> 00:12:45.551
  • Israel. and that's where the pizza came into play here. all
  • 00:12:45.551 --> 00:12:49.155
  • 100% made up right here in the spot.
  • 00:12:49.155 --> 00:12:53.459
  • >> join my guided tour.
  • 00:12:53.459 --> 00:12:56.595
  • >> this is some spicy stuff. very good. let's see if marty
  • 00:12:56.595 --> 00:13:01.200
  • Can handle it.
  • 00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.434
  • >> let's stop working. more eating. opa! thank you so much,
  • 00:13:02.434 --> 00:13:06.238
  • Sir.
  • 00:13:06.238 --> 00:13:08.307
  • >> okay, marty. bon appetit.
  • 00:13:08.307 --> 00:13:09.875
  • >> oh! bill, that was amazing. cheers.
  • 00:13:09.875 --> 00:13:14.613
  • >> yep. definitely.
  • 00:13:14.613 --> 00:13:17.516
  • >> ready.
  • 00:13:17.516 --> 00:13:19.118
  • >> netanyahu has been warning against the iranian threat for
  • 00:13:19.118 --> 00:13:22.421
  • Many, many years now. and just recently, it seems like the
  • 00:13:22.421 --> 00:13:26.625
  • United states are stating that iran has enough uranium to
  • 00:13:26.625 --> 00:13:30.262
  • Create six nuclear weapons. are we going to do something about
  • 00:13:30.262 --> 00:13:34.567
  • It?
  • 00:13:34.567 --> 00:13:35.267
  • >> let's start from eating pizza.
  • 00:13:35.367 --> 00:13:37.269
  • >> yeah.
  • 00:13:37.269 --> 00:13:38.337
  • >> yes, i think we should. i think we should. so look.
  • 00:13:38.437 --> 00:13:41.273
  • >> for many, many years, netanyahu was the guy shouting
  • 00:13:41.273 --> 00:13:44.677
  • Wolf! wolf! the iranians are going for the bomb. israel, the
  • 00:13:44.677 --> 00:13:47.980
  • Us, many other countries have done a whole lot to slow down
  • 00:13:47.980 --> 00:13:51.183
  • The iranian program. they probably would have had a whole
  • 00:13:51.183 --> 00:13:53.819
  • Arsenal of prepared nuclear warheads by this point if they
  • 00:13:53.819 --> 00:13:58.157
  • Weren't slowed down up until up till now, but they have been
  • 00:13:58.157 --> 00:14:01.260
  • Slowed down. now they're sort of at this weird crossing point
  • 00:14:01.260 --> 00:14:04.363
  • Where the us under the trump administration is saying maximum
  • 00:14:04.363 --> 00:14:07.633
  • Pressure going back to what was before the biden administration,
  • 00:14:07.633 --> 00:14:11.303
  • Maximum financial and possibly military pressure on the
  • 00:14:11.303 --> 00:14:14.506
  • Iranians and the iranians are freaking out. they're saying,
  • 00:14:14.506 --> 00:14:18.110
  • Look, if you think you're going to pressure us, we're going to
  • 00:14:18.110 --> 00:14:20.846
  • Scare us. let let us show you what we're able to do before you
  • 00:14:20.846 --> 00:14:24.683
  • Are able to attack or do anything like that. and i don't
  • 00:14:24.683 --> 00:14:27.720
  • Know how serious they are about it. i know they're dealing with
  • 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:31.123
  • An incredible amount of internal pressure of a public that is
  • 00:14:31.123 --> 00:14:33.626
  • More and more against the iranian government itself.
  • 00:14:33.626 --> 00:14:35.494
  • >> for good reasons.
  • 00:14:35.494 --> 00:14:36.729
  • >> yeah, for many good reasons. they've been having an ever
  • 00:14:36.729 --> 00:14:39.365
  • Increasing series of riots and violent demonstrations against
  • 00:14:39.365 --> 00:14:41.600
  • The government and the government to put down those
  • 00:14:41.600 --> 00:14:44.403
  • Demonstrations. biden has been forced to use more violence than
  • 00:14:44.403 --> 00:14:47.940
  • Ever before, including mass arrests, including using open
  • 00:14:47.940 --> 00:14:52.244
  • Fire or live fire into demonstrations, including raping
  • 00:14:52.244 --> 00:14:57.349
  • Protesters to humiliate them and make them stop demonstrating
  • 00:14:57.349 --> 00:15:00.786
  • They've pulled out all the stops. but and this is a true
  • 00:15:00.786 --> 00:15:05.057
  • But, they do have the ability to make a leap for a bomb. six
  • 00:15:05.057 --> 00:15:08.994
  • Warheads. yeah. that isn't that is on the table saying, okay,
  • 00:15:08.994 --> 00:15:11.563
  • They have enough enriched uranium that if they further
  • 00:15:11.563 --> 00:15:13.699
  • Enrich it, they'll be able to create a bomb. one there's
  • 00:15:13.699 --> 00:15:16.635
  • Multiple steps in creating a bomb. yeah. it's not just having
  • 00:15:16.635 --> 00:15:19.338
  • Uranium. you need to enrich it to a certain level, which they
  • 00:15:19.338 --> 00:15:22.908
  • Haven't done yet. they've almost enriched it to that level. and
  • 00:15:22.908 --> 00:15:24.944
  • The second one is they need to build a warhead, and then they
  • 00:15:24.944 --> 00:15:28.314
  • Need to have the ability to deliver the warhead. they are
  • 00:15:28.314 --> 00:15:31.116
  • Missing the two last steps. they have missiles. they're not
  • 00:15:31.116 --> 00:15:33.819
  • Reliable and not accurate enough. and they don't have the
  • 00:15:33.819 --> 00:15:35.754
  • Warhead technology yet. but they could develop it and it doesn't
  • 00:15:35.754 --> 00:15:38.657
  • Taste very fast. it doesn't take that long to develop it. they
  • 00:15:38.657 --> 00:15:41.860
  • Also could buy it off the shelf. it's just that the russians and
  • 00:15:41.860 --> 00:15:44.730
  • Other countries or north koreans have withheld selling the
  • 00:15:44.730 --> 00:15:47.566
  • Technology in full. yet for fear of western retaliation. so it is
  • 00:15:47.566 --> 00:15:50.936
  • It is a valid threat.
  • 00:15:50.936 --> 00:15:52.404
  • >> yeah. and in the meanwhile, the united states has been
  • 00:15:52.404 --> 00:15:55.274
  • Placing a b-52 bombers in this region. okay, israel destroyed
  • 00:15:55.274 --> 00:16:00.846
  • All the aerial defensive systems in syria, and a lot of it within
  • 00:16:00.846 --> 00:16:06.518
  • The islamic republic of iran in the previous strikes. okay. in
  • 00:16:06.518 --> 00:16:09.755
  • The meanwhile, the iranians have positioned additional
  • 00:16:09.755 --> 00:16:13.859
  • Anti-aircraft defense systems surrounding strategic locations
  • 00:16:13.859 --> 00:16:17.930
  • And military bases in the islamic republic. but are we
  • 00:16:17.930 --> 00:16:23.402
  • About to see an israeli us strike against the nuclear
  • 00:16:23.402 --> 00:16:27.573
  • Facilities of iran, or are we going to go into diplomacy or
  • 00:16:27.573 --> 00:16:31.010
  • Something like that?
  • 00:16:31.010 --> 00:16:32.177
  • >> let me ask you a question in response. between the us and
  • 00:16:32.277 --> 00:16:36.482
  • Israel, do they have the ability or do we have the ability to
  • 00:16:36.482 --> 00:16:40.686
  • Bring down the iranian government to bring down the
  • 00:16:40.686 --> 00:16:43.155
  • Iranian military and the, let's call it the forces that keep
  • 00:16:43.155 --> 00:16:45.424
  • Their economy economy going? absolutely.
  • 00:16:45.424 --> 00:16:48.193
  • >> okay.
  • 00:16:48.193 --> 00:16:49.361
  • >> but why am i asking that question? because i think people
  • 00:16:49.461 --> 00:16:51.730
  • Are always asking the question, can you stop the nuclear
  • 00:16:51.730 --> 00:16:54.400
  • Program? and there it's much more complicated because the
  • 00:16:54.400 --> 00:16:55.801
  • Nuclear.
  • 00:16:55.801 --> 00:16:57.036
  • >> program, the nuclear program, it's hard because it's somewhere
  • 00:16:57.136 --> 00:16:58.570
  • In the middle underground.
  • 00:16:58.570 --> 00:17:00.005
  • >> but not just that. it's also knowledge. it's not just the
  • 00:17:00.005 --> 00:17:02.508
  • Machinery. even if you stopped everything today and destroyed
  • 00:17:02.508 --> 00:17:05.811
  • Everything they had, which is virtually impossible without
  • 00:17:05.811 --> 00:17:07.279
  • Invading iran completely with ground forces, it still wouldn't
  • 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.416
  • Really stop it because you'd set them back. it wouldn't cancel
  • 00:17:10.416 --> 00:17:13.452
  • The program. but if you look at it from a different perspective,
  • 00:17:13.452 --> 00:17:16.221
  • Could we shut off electricity? yes, absolutely. could you deny
  • 00:17:16.221 --> 00:17:19.358
  • Access to their ports in and out? yes. could you shut down
  • 00:17:19.358 --> 00:17:22.428
  • Their airports? yes. could you cut their economy completely?
  • 00:17:22.428 --> 00:17:25.397
  • Yes. so all of those pieces are what makes a government work.
  • 00:17:25.397 --> 00:17:29.168
  • Yeah. and you could deny the access to their government to
  • 00:17:29.168 --> 00:17:32.204
  • Everything that that allows them to, to stand power, which means
  • 00:17:32.204 --> 00:17:34.807
  • De facto the end, the end of their government. so there is
  • 00:17:34.807 --> 00:17:39.344
  • There is a really big, thick middle ground between stopping a
  • 00:17:39.344 --> 00:17:41.847
  • Nuclear program.
  • 00:17:41.847 --> 00:17:42.981
  • >> stopping the entire country.
  • 00:17:42.981 --> 00:17:44.817
  • >> exactly. and i think that's why, in my opinion, a wiser way
  • 00:17:44.817 --> 00:17:49.088
  • To look at this, which is iran is not playing a zero sum game.
  • 00:17:49.088 --> 00:17:52.191
  • It's not like we're going to the bomb, regardless of whatever the
  • 00:17:52.191 --> 00:17:56.228
  • Ramifications are. they have to stay in power on the on the
  • 00:17:56.228 --> 00:17:58.564
  • Race.
  • 00:17:58.564 --> 00:17:59.098
  • >> in order to get.
  • 00:17:59.098 --> 00:18:00.299
  • >> to the ball. exactly. so that's one way to look at it.
  • 00:18:00.299 --> 00:18:03.435
  • Internal pressures. they know bad days are coming for them as
  • 00:18:03.435 --> 00:18:05.737
  • A government. then add into the mix the fact that both israel
  • 00:18:05.737 --> 00:18:09.575
  • And the united states and military forces, they're far
  • 00:18:09.575 --> 00:18:11.376
  • More trigger happy now under the trump administration versus the
  • 00:18:11.376 --> 00:18:14.146
  • Biden administration. that's the generals that were that were
  • 00:18:14.146 --> 00:18:16.048
  • Leading the fleet in the red and arabian sea. yeah. saying those
  • 00:18:16.048 --> 00:18:18.917
  • Words against the biden administration. and then you
  • 00:18:18.917 --> 00:18:21.487
  • Have another big piece in the mix, the saudis. the saudis are
  • 00:18:21.487 --> 00:18:24.556
  • The arch nemesis of the iranians. the iranians are shia.
  • 00:18:24.556 --> 00:18:27.826
  • The saudis are sort of kings of the sunni muslim world. and
  • 00:18:27.826 --> 00:18:31.530
  • Their enemies, the iranians are envious of the saudis power and
  • 00:18:31.530 --> 00:18:35.134
  • Their wealth. and the saudis, why do they have a strong army?
  • 00:18:35.134 --> 00:18:38.370
  • Why are they fighting for power in the middle east? because the
  • 00:18:38.370 --> 00:18:41.807
  • Iranians are constantly looming over their head as this threat
  • 00:18:41.807 --> 00:18:44.409
  • Of, if you misbehave, we're bringing down your economy, and
  • 00:18:44.409 --> 00:18:46.712
  • They have the power to do that. so they're deeply concerned of
  • 00:18:46.712 --> 00:18:50.149
  • That. they want the us to commit to them. no, we're in alliance.
  • 00:18:50.149 --> 00:18:53.118
  • They want israel to say no, we're in alliance. and then the
  • 00:18:53.118 --> 00:18:55.754
  • Iranians have almost nothing against them. that's what
  • 00:18:55.754 --> 00:18:58.023
  • They're looking for. and if that happens, iran is further
  • 00:18:58.023 --> 00:19:00.626
  • Weakened.
  • 00:19:00.626 --> 00:19:01.727
  • >> yeah, but iran is now threatening the state of israel,
  • 00:19:01.827 --> 00:19:03.629
  • That they will destroy the state of israel and raze tel aviv to
  • 00:19:03.629 --> 00:19:07.533
  • The ground. i think that what we learned is that, you know, the
  • 00:19:07.533 --> 00:19:10.602
  • More the dogs in the middle east bark, the more they don't bite.
  • 00:19:10.602 --> 00:19:14.706
  • Last year, under president biden, iran attacked israel
  • 00:19:14.706 --> 00:19:18.944
  • Twice. while we had the united states support. it came with
  • 00:19:18.944 --> 00:19:22.614
  • Strict conditions that limited our response. now, under
  • 00:19:22.614 --> 00:19:27.286
  • President trump, the dynamics have shifted. the united states
  • 00:19:27.286 --> 00:19:31.523
  • Has deployed b-52 bombers to the middle east, signaling a robust
  • 00:19:31.523 --> 00:19:36.962
  • Stance against regional threats. additionally, secretary of state
  • 00:19:36.962 --> 00:19:41.700
  • Marco rubio has fast tracked a $4 billion military aid package
  • 00:19:41.700 --> 00:19:47.272
  • To israel, enhancing our defensive capabilities. this aid
  • 00:19:47.272 --> 00:19:51.710
  • Includes advanced munitions, precision guided weapons, and
  • 00:19:51.710 --> 00:19:56.615
  • Missile defense systems. this is bolstering our military
  • 00:19:56.615 --> 00:20:01.153
  • Readiness. with these developments, israel is now
  • 00:20:01.153 --> 00:20:04.456
  • Ready to take a more offensive role to ensure our safety. and

  • Tomer, our director, introduced me to. it's in the heart of
  • 00:20:29.781 --> 00:20:33.418
  • Jerusalem, and it's a tomb of an ancient priest from before the
  • 00:20:33.418 --> 00:20:40.792
  • Second temple.
  • 00:20:40.792 --> 00:20:41.393
  • >> the sign says, jason.
  • 00:20:41.393 --> 00:20:43.195
  • >> i think it's jason.
  • 00:20:43.195 --> 00:20:44.429
  • >> his name in hebrew and in greek, i guess, is jason. he was
  • 00:20:44.429 --> 00:20:47.866
  • The high priest in the second century bc, but he's one of the
  • 00:20:47.866 --> 00:20:51.270
  • Destabilizing forces of the region at the time. speaking of
  • 00:20:51.270 --> 00:20:53.972
  • Destabilizing forces, we're here talking about the iranians. and
  • 00:20:53.972 --> 00:20:57.643
  • I think the question in the back of everyone's head is, is, is
  • 00:20:57.643 --> 00:21:01.680
  • Israel and the us, of course, by extension, or by affinity, going
  • 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.916
  • To attack iran before this october 7th war, iran had never
  • 00:21:04.916 --> 00:21:08.754
  • Directly attacked israel, and israel had never directly
  • 00:21:08.754 --> 00:21:11.056
  • Attacked iran. so on april april 13th, 2024, brand launches over
  • 00:21:11.056 --> 00:21:15.661
  • 300 missiles and drones against israel. almost all of them are
  • 00:21:15.661 --> 00:21:18.063
  • Intercepted on the way. only five days later, israel strikes
  • 00:21:18.063 --> 00:21:21.633
  • Within iran. but we do so systematically, and we also
  • 00:21:21.633 --> 00:21:24.803
  • Knock out at least one of the s-300 systems, if i remember.
  • 00:21:24.803 --> 00:21:28.507
  • >> correctly, next to like a military secure location.
  • 00:21:28.507 --> 00:21:31.176
  • >> and i think we also struck one of the irgc air bases. so it
  • 00:21:31.176 --> 00:21:34.946
  • Was very symbolic, but very much to show.
  • 00:21:34.946 --> 00:21:36.782
  • >> we can reach you within the heart of your country.
  • 00:21:36.782 --> 00:21:40.686
  • >> wherever you want.
  • 00:21:40.686 --> 00:21:41.887
  • >> exactly. then on october 1st, iran fires about 180 ballistic
  • 00:21:41.987 --> 00:21:44.756
  • Missiles at israel, which was a very significant second wave
  • 00:21:44.756 --> 00:21:48.093
  • Attack. just a short time after that, on october 26th, israel
  • 00:21:48.093 --> 00:21:50.862
  • Launches operation days of repentance, and it strikes 20
  • 00:21:50.862 --> 00:21:54.066
  • Locations within iran, iraq and syria. and it's the biggest ever
  • 00:21:54.066 --> 00:21:58.303
  • Attack against iranians and against the syrians by israel.
  • 00:21:58.303 --> 00:22:01.239
  • So very, very historic moment. we did assassinate ismail
  • 00:22:01.239 --> 00:22:04.910
  • Haniyeh within irgc headquarters, within a secure
  • 00:22:04.910 --> 00:22:08.480
  • Complex within tehran. so we've done a lot to attack them.
  • 00:22:08.480 --> 00:22:12.417
  • They've done a lot to try and attack us, but they've failed on
  • 00:22:12.417 --> 00:22:16.254
  • Almost every turn. people who say there is no chance of israel
  • 00:22:16.254 --> 00:22:18.423
  • Attacking in in.
  • 00:22:18.423 --> 00:22:19.758
  • >> iran, it already happened. it's already happened. yeah.
  • 00:22:19.758 --> 00:22:21.626
  • >> i think the question is, is will we see american fighter
  • 00:22:21.626 --> 00:22:24.930
  • Jets bombing iranian.
  • 00:22:24.930 --> 00:22:25.630
  • >> targets alongside israeli.
  • 00:22:25.630 --> 00:22:26.465
  • >> alongside israeli.
  • 00:22:26.465 --> 00:22:27.566
  • >> fighter jets? give me a nice picture, by the way.
  • 00:22:27.566 --> 00:22:29.501
  • >> it's been something that's been drilled before israel and
  • 00:22:29.501 --> 00:22:32.537
  • The united states several times. we've practiced not in that side
  • 00:22:32.537 --> 00:22:35.407
  • Of the ocean. we practiced it in the mediterranean with a
  • 00:22:35.407 --> 00:22:38.243
  • Coalition force, with air refueling, with, you know,
  • 00:22:38.243 --> 00:22:41.279
  • Everything that is logistically needed to carry.
  • 00:22:41.279 --> 00:22:43.515
  • >> out this distance.
  • 00:22:43.515 --> 00:22:44.783
  • >> exactly. so we know what's possible. we know we've trained,
  • 00:22:44.783 --> 00:22:47.152
  • We know we have in the computers of, you know, our fire control
  • 00:22:47.152 --> 00:22:50.288
  • Centers and air force and in central command in israel and in
  • 00:22:50.288 --> 00:22:53.692
  • The us, you have all the target banks of the iranian government.
  • 00:22:53.692 --> 00:22:57.329
  • And it's just a question of is there going to be someone who
  • 00:22:57.329 --> 00:23:00.665
  • Says, now is the time to do it? i think that's the only
  • 00:23:00.665 --> 00:23:04.035
  • Question.
  • 00:23:04.035 --> 00:23:05.270
  • >> yeah, i think that israel and the us will conduct an operation
  • 00:23:05.370 --> 00:23:08.807
  • Using spies, let's say the cia or the mossad, to terminate the
  • 00:23:08.807 --> 00:23:13.879
  • Leadership in the islamic revolutionary guards corps and
  • 00:23:13.879 --> 00:23:16.982
  • Then let the iranian people take control of iran themselves.
  • 00:23:16.982 --> 00:23:22.521
  • >> so use instability to destabilize the destabilizers.
  • 00:23:22.521 --> 00:23:25.791
  • Correct? that's a very interesting idea. the iranian
  • 00:23:25.791 --> 00:23:28.026
  • People are held captive by the islamic government or regime of
  • 00:23:28.026 --> 00:23:31.630
  • Iran. the majority of the public hates them, and many of them,
  • 00:23:31.630 --> 00:23:34.699
  • Like israel.
  • 00:23:34.699 --> 00:23:35.901
  • >> and many of them watch us and say, congrats, guys. we watch
  • 00:23:36.001 --> 00:23:38.637
  • You from iran.
  • 00:23:38.637 --> 00:23:39.871
  • >> unlike the people of gaza, you know that still, after all
  • 00:23:39.871 --> 00:23:43.008
  • Of this, wholeheartedly support the majority of them when
  • 00:23:43.008 --> 00:23:45.844
  • They're polled. support hamas and support the acts of violence
  • 00:23:45.844 --> 00:23:47.579
  • Of october 7th. the iranians don't. so there is a hope that
  • 00:23:47.579 --> 00:23:51.917
  • If the government is flipped and someone else is brought into
  • 00:23:51.917 --> 00:23:53.685
  • Power, that someone could be pro-israeli again, as they were,
  • 00:23:53.685 --> 00:23:56.555
  • By the way, in the past. to wrap this all up, i think this is a
  • 00:23:56.555 --> 00:24:00.992
  • Very hopeful time. hope that's mixed with possibly extreme
  • 00:24:00.992 --> 00:24:02.894
  • Violence where israel and the us might bomb iran directly, we
  • 00:24:02.894 --> 00:24:06.498
  • Might eliminate their leadership. but overall, it's a
  • 00:24:06.498 --> 00:24:09.301
  • Unique time where iran is. i mean, they're they're
  • 00:24:09.301 --> 00:24:11.970
  • Terrifying. they're super. they're weakened. they've lost a
  • 00:24:11.970 --> 00:24:14.306
  • Lot of their power. they don't have hamas. they don't have
  • 00:24:14.306 --> 00:24:16.942
  • Hezbollah to the same degree. even their ballistic missiles
  • 00:24:16.942 --> 00:24:19.578
  • Have lost a lot of the bite of what we were expecting from
  • 00:24:19.578 --> 00:24:22.581
  • Them. so that big bad wolf that was called iran, that everyone
  • 00:24:22.581 --> 00:24:25.617
  • Was terrified for, for.
  • 00:24:25.617 --> 00:24:26.485
  • >> a ring of fire.
  • 00:24:26.485 --> 00:24:28.386
  • >> most of our lifetime. it's no longer that kind of threat.
  • 00:24:28.386 --> 00:24:30.622
  • They're isolated. there's a chance of them being completely
  • 00:24:30.622 --> 00:24:33.525
  • Choked financially by new us sanctions. so all of that
  • 00:24:33.525 --> 00:24:36.428
  • Together, what it makes it possible for us to attack them?
  • 00:24:36.428 --> 00:24:39.464
  • Two, even without attacking them, it could force them into a
  • 00:24:39.464 --> 00:24:42.567
  • Position of weakness that would force them to give up their
  • 00:24:42.567 --> 00:24:45.403
  • Nuclear plan and capitulate to, let's call it saudi american
  • 00:24:45.403 --> 00:24:48.240
  • Israeli demands of them to play a lesser degree, lesser game in
  • 00:24:48.240 --> 00:24:51.409
  • This region. and that's good news.
  • 00:24:51.409 --> 00:24:53.378
  • >> here in israel. we deeply desire peace in our
  • 00:24:53.378 --> 00:24:56.648
  • Neighborhood. however, we recognize that the current
  • 00:24:56.648 --> 00:25:00.318
  • Extremist iranian regime and their deep desire to obliterate
  • 00:25:00.318 --> 00:25:03.755
  • Us stands as a huge obstacle to this goal. we hold hope that the
  • 00:25:03.755 --> 00:25:08.827
  • Brave people of iran, who have increasingly voiced their
  • 00:25:08.827 --> 00:25:13.064
  • Opposition to the oppressive government, will succeed in
  • 00:25:13.064 --> 00:25:16.601
  • Bringing about a change from within that country. regardless,
  • 00:25:16.601 --> 00:25:21.740
  • Israel stands ready to confront the threat directly. we have the
  • 00:25:21.740 --> 00:25:26.444
  • Military strength, the steadfast support of our allies headed by
  • 00:25:26.444 --> 00:25:30.315
  • The united states of america and god himself on our side. i hope
  • 00:25:30.315 --> 00:25:35.987
  • The peace clarified things for you and gave you a broad view on
  • 00:25:35.987 --> 00:25:39.257
  • The subject. now we'll go to a short commercial break, and
  • 00:25:39.257 --> 00:25:43.461
  • After which we'll return to pray together for israel and for the
  • 00:25:43.461 --> 00:25:47.132
  • Peace of jerusalem. steve wheatcroft's recent activity to
  • 00:25:47.132 --> 00:25:54.906

  • Thank you for coming back here at tbn israel. we will continue
  • 00:26:54.590 --> 00:26:59.061
  • To report on this developing story because when evil rises up
  • 00:26:59.061 --> 00:27:02.998
  • In the world, we know that the only way to push back is with
  • 00:27:02.998 --> 00:27:06.268
  • The truth. israel is fighting a war on multiple fronts. the
  • 00:27:06.268 --> 00:27:11.006
  • Physical one is fought with tanks, soldiers and airplanes.
  • 00:27:11.006 --> 00:27:14.810
  • The war for the truth is fought with misinformation and with
  • 00:27:14.810 --> 00:27:18.914
  • Sharing the truth. and there is a spiritual war. and as
  • 00:27:18.914 --> 00:27:23.018
  • Followers of yeshua jesus, we believe in the power of prayer
  • 00:27:23.018 --> 00:27:26.689
  • And in god's faithfulness to the people of israel and to each and
  • 00:27:26.689 --> 00:27:30.526
  • Every one of us personally. the god of abraham, isaac, and jacob
  • 00:27:30.526 --> 00:27:35.030
  • Is a personal god. so let's make our prayers personal. let's all
  • 00:27:35.030 --> 00:27:40.436
  • Pray together for israel. pray for our hostages who are held in
  • 00:27:40.436 --> 00:27:44.373
  • The gaza strip by hamas. pray that they return safely and
  • 00:27:44.373 --> 00:27:48.611
  • Quickly to their families. pray for the idf soldiers wherever
  • 00:27:48.611 --> 00:27:52.148
  • They are fighting. if it's in syria, lebanon, judea and
  • 00:27:52.148 --> 00:27:55.518
  • Samaria, the gaza strip, or defending the skies against
  • 00:27:55.518 --> 00:27:59.255
  • Rockets from yemen. and guys, the most important thing that
  • 00:27:59.255 --> 00:28:02.625
  • You can do is trust in god and pray for the peace of jerusalem.
  • 00:28:02.625 --> 00:28:02.625
