- 00:06:49.489 --> 00:06:51.525
- The islamic revolutionary guards corps
- 00:06:51.525 --> 00:06:54.428
- In iran from the inside.
- 00:06:54.428 --> 00:06:56.863
- You won't want to miss this.
- 00:06:56.863 --> 00:06:58.498
- The tension
- 00:06:58.832 --> 00:06:59.566
- With iran has not disappeared.
- 00:06:59.566 --> 00:07:01.668
- It has simply moved
- 00:07:02.135 --> 00:07:03.437
- From the battlefield
- 00:07:03.437 --> 00:07:04.805
- To the negotiation table.
- 00:07:04.805 --> 00:07:06.740
- And in washington,
- 00:07:07.174 --> 00:07:08.275
- They're talking about a framework for an agreement.
- 00:07:08.275 --> 00:07:11.678
- In tehran, they're saying
- 00:07:12.245 --> 00:07:14.081
- The agreement is still far away.
- 00:07:14.081 --> 00:07:16.817
- And in jerusalem,
- 00:07:17.250 --> 00:07:18.352
- They're looking at that same
- 00:07:18.352 --> 00:07:20.187
- Table and asking one question.
- 00:07:20.187 --> 00:07:22.623
- Is this diplomacy really
- 00:07:23.156 --> 00:07:25.158
- Stopping a strike,
- 00:07:25.158 --> 00:07:26.660
- Or is it only the final stage
- 00:07:26.660 --> 00:07:29.062
- Before the war returns?
- 00:07:29.062 --> 00:07:31.598
- Because right now,
- 00:07:32.032 --> 00:07:33.200
- There are two pictures happening
- 00:07:33.200 --> 00:07:35.302
- At the same time.
- 00:07:35.302 --> 00:07:36.703
- One, on one hand,
- 00:07:37.137 --> 00:07:38.372
- Trump says the deal with iran
- 00:07:38.372 --> 00:07:40.474
- Will be big and meaningful,
- 00:07:40.474 --> 00:07:42.476
- Or there will be no deal at all.
- 00:07:42.476 --> 00:07:45.012
- On the other hand,
- 00:07:45.445 --> 00:07:46.780
- Iran is demanding guarantees,
- 00:07:46.780 --> 00:07:48.915
- Frozen assets, frozen money,
- 00:07:48.915 --> 00:07:50.951
- The removal of sanctions,
- 00:07:50.951 --> 00:07:52.819
- The opening of homs,
- 00:07:52.819 --> 00:07:54.287
- And a ceasefire that will also
- 00:07:54.287 --> 00:07:56.490
- Touch on other fronts.
- 00:07:56.490 --> 00:07:58.725
- The united states is demanding,
- 00:07:58.725 --> 00:08:00.861
- First of all, the nuclear issue,
- 00:08:00.861 --> 00:08:03.063
- The enriched uranium,
- 00:08:03.063 --> 00:08:04.564
- The supervision,
- 00:08:04.564 --> 00:08:05.699
- And the question iran is trying
- 00:08:05.699 --> 00:08:07.834
- To delay again and again.
- 00:08:07.834 --> 00:08:10.037
- What remains
- 00:08:10.370 --> 00:08:11.171
- In the hands of the revolutionary
- 00:08:11.171 --> 00:08:13.373
- Guards the day after?
- 00:08:13.373 --> 00:08:14.975
- That brings us back
- 00:08:15.442 --> 00:08:16.843
- To the question
- 00:08:16.843 --> 00:08:17.911
- That is troubling many people.
- 00:08:17.911 --> 00:08:20.180
- Does trump really intend
- 00:08:20.714 --> 00:08:22.349
- To strike,
- 00:08:22.349 --> 00:08:23.050
- Or is he only threatening?
- 00:08:23.050 --> 00:08:25.185
- Are all these rounds of negotiations, of mediators,
- 00:08:25.185 --> 00:08:29.056
- Of drafts, of conditions,
- 00:08:29.056 --> 00:08:30.957
- And ultimatums a real attempt
- 00:08:30.957 --> 00:08:33.193
- To prevent war?
- 00:08:33.193 --> 00:08:34.561
- Or are they a way
- 00:08:34.995 --> 00:08:36.229
- To build legitimacy
- 00:08:36.229 --> 00:08:37.597
- For the moment diplomacy fails?
- 00:08:37.597 --> 00:08:39.866
- So i went to check what american
- 00:08:40.500 --> 00:08:42.536
- Presidents did before major
- 00:08:42.536 --> 00:08:44.271
- Military operations.
- 00:08:44.271 --> 00:08:45.639
- Not after, but before.
- 00:08:46.106 --> 00:08:48.208
- What's interesting
- 00:08:48.642 --> 00:08:49.710
- Is that the pattern is not new.
- 00:08:49.710 --> 00:08:52.245
- Before the invasion of iraq, george w.
- 00:08:52.245 --> 00:08:54.848
- Bush continued to talk
- 00:08:54.848 --> 00:08:55.982
- About the possibility of disarming iraq peacefully.
- 00:08:55.982 --> 00:08:58.618
- He talked about diplomacy.
- 00:08:58.618 --> 00:09:00.454
- He talked about another chance.
- 00:09:01.088 --> 00:09:02.522
- He talked about saddam hussein
- 00:09:03.123 --> 00:09:04.958
- Still being able to prevent war.
- 00:09:04.958 --> 00:09:07.194
- But at the same time,
- 00:09:07.694 --> 00:09:09.029
- The military
- 00:09:09.029 --> 00:09:09.830
- Was already preparing,
- 00:09:09.830 --> 00:09:11.264
- Congress had already given
- 00:09:11.264 --> 00:09:12.933
- Authority to use force,
- 00:09:12.933 --> 00:09:14.434
- And the american
- 00:09:14.434 --> 00:09:15.502
- System was already
- 00:09:15.502 --> 00:09:16.670
- Moving towards a decision.
- 00:09:16.670 --> 00:09:18.772
- Then came the ultimatum.
- 00:09:19.306 --> 00:09:20.707
- 48 hours for saddam hussein
- 00:09:21.308 --> 00:09:23.877
- And his sons to leave iraq.
- 00:09:23.877 --> 00:09:26.680
- If not, military
- 00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:28.515
- Action comes next.
- 00:09:28.515 --> 00:09:30.283
- At that moment, all the talk
- 00:09:30.884 --> 00:09:32.753
- About more time, more talks,
- 00:09:32.753 --> 00:09:34.621
- More diplomacy became
- 00:09:34.621 --> 00:09:36.022
- Something completely different.
- 00:09:36.022 --> 00:09:38.158
- Not a sign that the threat
- 00:09:38.725 --> 00:09:40.393
- Was off the table,
- 00:09:40.393 --> 00:09:41.561
- But a sign that the clock
- 00:09:41.561 --> 00:09:43.163
- Had reached the end.
- 00:09:43.163 --> 00:09:44.765
- We saw a similar pattern
- 00:09:45.298 --> 00:09:46.500
- In libya.
- 00:09:46.500 --> 00:09:47.801
- Barack obama, a democratic
- 00:09:47.801 --> 00:09:49.569
- President, didn't rush
- 00:09:49.569 --> 00:09:51.104
- To present it as a major war.
- 00:09:51.104 --> 00:09:53.039
- He spoke about limited action,
- 00:09:53.039 --> 00:09:55.142
- About protecting civilians,
- 00:09:55.142 --> 00:09:57.077
- About final demands
- 00:09:57.077 --> 00:09:58.478
- From gaddafi.
- 00:09:58.478 --> 00:09:59.980
- One day before the strikes
- 00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:02.015
- Began, words like choice,
- 00:10:02.015 --> 00:10:03.984
- Deadline, pause,
- 00:10:03.984 --> 00:10:05.218
- And warning were still
- 00:10:05.218 --> 00:10:06.920
- Being heard.
- 00:10:06.920 --> 00:10:08.121
- And then the aircraft
- 00:10:08.622 --> 00:10:09.856
- Were already in the air.
- 00:10:09.856 --> 00:10:11.792
- And there too,
- 00:10:12.125 --> 00:10:12.993
- Diplomacy and the military threat
- 00:10:12.993 --> 00:10:15.128
- Were not two separate tracks.
- 00:10:15.128 --> 00:10:17.464
- They were part of the same move.
- 00:10:17.464 --> 00:10:20.367
- That does not mean every
- 00:10:20.901 --> 00:10:22.502
- Negotiation is theater.
- 00:10:22.502 --> 00:10:24.638
- It does mean
- 00:10:24.971 --> 00:10:25.806
- That when an american
- 00:10:25.806 --> 00:10:27.307
- President keeps one door open,
- 00:10:27.307 --> 00:10:29.442
- We need to ask,
- 00:10:29.442 --> 00:10:30.510
- What is happening next
- 00:10:30.510 --> 00:10:32.078
- To the other door?
- 00:10:32.078 --> 00:10:33.647
- Is the military
- 00:10:34.014 --> 00:10:34.681
- Standing behind it?
- 00:10:34.681 --> 00:10:35.949
- Are the allies ready?
- 00:10:35.949 --> 00:10:37.517
- Does the enemy truly
- 00:10:37.517 --> 00:10:38.852
- Believe the threat?
- 00:10:38.852 --> 00:10:40.253
- And is there someone
- 00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.055
- On the other side who's
- 00:10:42.055 --> 00:10:43.590
- Capable of making a decision
- 00:10:43.590 --> 00:10:45.492
- Before the window closes?
- 00:10:45.492 --> 00:10:47.360
- And here, iran is different
- 00:10:47.961 --> 00:10:49.930
- From iraq and from libya.
- 00:10:49.930 --> 00:10:52.098
- Facing iraq, there was saddam.
- 00:10:52.699 --> 00:10:55.035
- Facing libya, there was gaddafi.
- 00:10:55.035 --> 00:10:57.771
- You could like them, you could hate them, you could fear them,
- 00:10:57.771 --> 00:11:01.174
- But it was clear who was holding
- 00:11:01.174 --> 00:11:02.976
- The steering wheel.
- 00:11:02.976 --> 00:11:04.444
- But in iran today,
- 00:11:04.878 --> 00:11:06.479
- That is much less clear.
- 00:11:06.479 --> 00:11:08.915
- That's why in this episode,
- 00:11:09.516 --> 00:11:10.951
- We're not only asking whether
- 00:11:10.951 --> 00:11:12.552
- There will be a strike,
- 00:11:12.552 --> 00:11:13.787
- We're asking a deeper question.
- 00:11:13.787 --> 00:11:15.956
- Who is really running iran?
- 00:11:15.956 --> 00:11:18.024
- Who can say yes?
- 00:11:18.425 --> 00:11:19.726
- Who can say no?
- 00:11:19.726 --> 00:11:21.161
- And if tomorrow an agreement
- 00:11:21.161 --> 00:11:23.029
- Is placed on the table,
- 00:11:23.029 --> 00:11:24.564
- Who in tehran
- 00:11:24.564 --> 00:11:25.465
- Is capable of signing
- 00:11:25.465 --> 00:11:26.933
- It, enforcing it, and making
- 00:11:26.933 --> 00:11:28.802
- Revolutionary guards accept it?
- 00:11:28.802 --> 00:11:31.438
- Now to understand that, i want
- 00:11:31.438 --> 00:11:33.473
- To bring into the conversation benny sabti,
- 00:11:33.473 --> 00:11:36.376
- One of the people
- 00:11:36.376 --> 00:11:37.544
- Who understands iran
- 00:11:37.544 --> 00:11:38.945
- From the inside.
- 00:11:38.945 --> 00:11:40.113
- The language,
- 00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:41.448
- The culture, the street,
- 00:11:41.448 --> 00:11:43.183
- And the way the regime speaks
- 00:11:43.183 --> 00:11:45.318
- To itself.
- 00:11:45.318 --> 00:11:46.486
- Now benny, i want to start
- 00:11:47.053 --> 00:11:48.255
- Directly with this point.
- 00:11:48.255 --> 00:11:49.489
- The world sees statements
- 00:11:50.056 --> 00:11:51.625
- From tehran,
- 00:11:51.625 --> 00:11:52.392
- Statements from washington,
- 00:11:52.392 --> 00:11:54.027
- Messages from the iranian
- 00:11:54.027 --> 00:11:55.595
- Foreign ministry,
- 00:11:55.595 --> 00:11:56.630
- Messages from within the revolutionary guards,
- 00:11:56.630 --> 00:11:59.399
- And sometimes it seems
- 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:00.734
- That everyone there is saying
- 00:12:00.734 --> 00:12:02.535
- Something entirely different.
- 00:12:02.535 --> 00:12:04.571
- Now is there one leader in iran
- 00:12:05.205 --> 00:12:07.140
- Today who's making decisions,
- 00:12:07.140 --> 00:12:08.975
- Or are we looking at a regime
- 00:12:08.975 --> 00:12:10.777
- That is already being run
- 00:12:10.777 --> 00:12:12.379
- Through internal
- 00:12:12.379 --> 00:12:13.446
- Power struggles?
- 00:12:13.446 --> 00:12:20.921
- Okay, benny, let's
- 00:12:21.354 --> 00:12:22.322
- Dive straight into it.
- 00:12:22.322 --> 00:12:23.723
- I think the topic
- 00:12:24.157 --> 00:12:24.991
- That i'm most interested
- 00:12:24.991 --> 00:12:26.159
- In, maybe our viewers are also
- 00:12:26.159 --> 00:12:27.661
- Most interested to understand,
- 00:12:27.661 --> 00:12:29.162
- Is what is really
- 00:12:29.162 --> 00:12:29.996
- Happening inside iran?
- 00:12:29.996 --> 00:12:31.464
- What's happening
- 00:12:31.464 --> 00:12:32.098
- With the regime?
- 00:12:32.098 --> 00:12:33.199
- Is there actually a leader
- 00:12:33.199 --> 00:12:34.367
- In iran that's leading,
- 00:12:34.367 --> 00:12:35.402
- Or is there a lot of internal
- 00:12:35.402 --> 00:12:36.703
- Fighting in iran right now?
- 00:12:36.703 --> 00:12:39.172
- Thank you for having me here,
- 00:12:39.806 --> 00:12:42.042
- And thank you
- 00:12:42.042 --> 00:12:43.076
- For this important question,
- 00:12:43.076 --> 00:12:45.278
- Because things are not as they are shown in tv shows
- 00:12:45.278 --> 00:12:49.282
- Or news from inside iran
- 00:12:49.282 --> 00:12:51.151
- Towards the rest of the world.
- 00:12:51.151 --> 00:12:53.653
- The iranian regime
- 00:12:54.087 --> 00:12:55.455
- Today is not so stable,
- 00:12:55.455 --> 00:12:57.223
- Not just because of the war
- 00:12:57.223 --> 00:12:59.326
- Or the coming war,
- 00:12:59.326 --> 00:13:00.694
- But because of their behavior.
- 00:13:00.694 --> 00:13:03.263
- These generals
- 00:13:03.596 --> 00:13:04.731
- That took over the regime,
- 00:13:04.731 --> 00:13:06.800
- They are much more fanatic,
- 00:13:06.800 --> 00:13:08.902
- Much more radical from the last
- 00:13:08.902 --> 00:13:11.338
- Leader, khamenei, the father,
- 00:13:11.338 --> 00:13:13.640
- And also his son
- 00:13:13.640 --> 00:13:14.908
- That took the leadership.
- 00:13:14.908 --> 00:13:17.410
- He is a friend of irgc generals.
- 00:13:17.410 --> 00:13:19.846
- He doesn't care about the needs of the people, of course,
- 00:13:19.846 --> 00:13:24.017
- Not caring about any
- 00:13:24.017 --> 00:13:25.552
- Kind of good relationship
- 00:13:25.552 --> 00:13:27.454
- With the world,
- 00:13:27.454 --> 00:13:28.555
- Maybe just with china or russia
- 00:13:28.555 --> 00:13:30.890
- Or other
- 00:13:30.890 --> 00:13:31.491
- Not so positive countries,
- 00:13:31.491 --> 00:13:33.493
- And not so democratic, of course, countries.
- 00:13:33.493 --> 00:13:36.696
- So they are bringing this regime
- 00:13:36.696 --> 00:13:39.899
- To a kind of an end
- 00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:41.868
- By themselves.
- 00:13:41.868 --> 00:13:43.603
- They are not making
- 00:13:43.603 --> 00:13:44.971
- The people satisfied.
- 00:13:44.971 --> 00:13:46.673
- The prices are going higher
- 00:13:46.673 --> 00:13:48.174
- And higher every day.
- 00:13:48.174 --> 00:13:49.876
- The situation inside iran
- 00:13:49.876 --> 00:13:51.945
- Around the issues of security,
- 00:13:51.945 --> 00:13:54.414
- Even the thieves
- 00:13:54.414 --> 00:13:55.749
- And stealing from houses
- 00:13:55.749 --> 00:13:57.784
- That they were hurt in the war,
- 00:13:57.784 --> 00:14:00.353
- This is a phenomenon
- 00:14:00.353 --> 00:14:02.022
- That is going on from the war,
- 00:14:02.022 --> 00:14:04.491
- And it's not because of us
- 00:14:04.491 --> 00:14:06.693
- Or israel.
- 00:14:06.693 --> 00:14:07.994
- It's because of their kind of behavior.
- 00:14:07.994 --> 00:14:10.764
- They don't care
- 00:14:11.131 --> 00:14:11.998
- About the people.
- 00:14:11.998 --> 00:14:13.366
- They don't care
- 00:14:13.366 --> 00:14:14.000
- About their needs.
- 00:14:14.000 --> 00:14:15.135
- There is no water again
- 00:14:15.135 --> 00:14:16.803
- In iran or not so much food.
- 00:14:16.803 --> 00:14:19.406
- Iran is an importer country.
- 00:14:19.406 --> 00:14:21.908
- They import anything.
- 00:14:21.908 --> 00:14:23.510
- They just have only oil to sell
- 00:14:23.510 --> 00:14:25.779
- And buy anything from outside.
- 00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:28.081
- Even saffron
- 00:14:28.415 --> 00:14:29.282
- Is not iranian anymore.
- 00:14:29.282 --> 00:14:30.950
- So if they don't care about the people and they neglect them,
- 00:14:30.950 --> 00:14:35.889
- They can be brought down in a very few, maybe a few months
- 00:14:35.889 --> 00:14:40.593
- Or maybe not more than a year,
- 00:14:40.593 --> 00:14:43.029
- Because they think only
- 00:14:43.029 --> 00:14:44.931
- About themselves becoming
- 00:14:44.931 --> 00:14:47.000
- Stronger and stronger
- 00:14:47.000 --> 00:14:48.768
- In military aspects and doesn't
- 00:14:48.768 --> 00:14:51.304
- Care about 90 million people.
- 00:14:51.304 --> 00:14:54.040
- It's not a good thing
- 00:14:54.040 --> 00:14:56.076
- To do as a regime.
- 00:14:56.076 --> 00:14:57.811
- And this is exactly the point
- 00:14:57.811 --> 00:14:59.479
- That is important to understand.
- 00:14:59.479 --> 00:15:01.681
- If there is no one person
- 00:15:02.248 --> 00:15:03.650
- In iran who is capable of making
- 00:15:03.650 --> 00:15:05.518
- A decision,
- 00:15:05.518 --> 00:15:06.152
- Then the negotiations
- 00:15:06.152 --> 00:15:07.387
- Are not stuck only
- 00:15:07.387 --> 00:15:08.455
- Because of technical gaps.
- 00:15:08.455 --> 00:15:10.156
- They're stuck
- 00:15:10.523 --> 00:15:11.057
- Because of the power
- 00:15:11.057 --> 00:15:11.891
- Structure of the regime itself.
- 00:15:11.891 --> 00:15:13.326
- A foreign minister can go
- 00:15:13.893 --> 00:15:15.295
- To a meeting.
- 00:15:15.295 --> 00:15:16.496
- A president can send a message.
- 00:15:16.496 --> 00:15:18.431
- A pakistani or qatari mediator
- 00:15:18.431 --> 00:15:20.266
- Can enter the picture.
- 00:15:20.266 --> 00:15:21.968
- But if in the end every
- 00:15:21.968 --> 00:15:23.570
- Decision has to pass
- 00:15:23.570 --> 00:15:24.938
- Through a circle of generals,
- 00:15:24.938 --> 00:15:26.906
- Of intelligence officers
- 00:15:26.906 --> 00:15:28.508
- And former commanders
- 00:15:28.508 --> 00:15:29.943
- In the revolutionary guards,
- 00:15:29.943 --> 00:15:31.811
- Well then diplomacy moves
- 00:15:31.811 --> 00:15:33.513
- At the speed of a bunker.
- 00:15:33.513 --> 00:15:35.248
- That's not just an expression,
- 00:15:35.849 --> 00:15:37.183
- By the way.
- 00:15:37.183 --> 00:15:38.318
- According to information coming
- 00:15:38.318 --> 00:15:40.520
- From the latest reports,
- 00:15:40.520 --> 00:15:42.255
- The man officially at the top of the iranian system is hiding
- 00:15:42.255 --> 00:15:46.593
- In an unknown location,
- 00:15:46.593 --> 00:15:48.228
- Almost cut off from the outside
- 00:15:48.228 --> 00:15:50.430
- World and communicating
- 00:15:50.430 --> 00:15:52.098
- Through a complicated
- 00:15:52.098 --> 00:15:53.600
- Network of messengers.
- 00:15:53.600 --> 00:15:55.368
- Not a normal situation room.
- 00:15:55.969 --> 00:15:57.804
- Not open calls.
- 00:15:57.804 --> 00:15:59.472
- Not a cabinet that meets
- 00:15:59.472 --> 00:16:00.673
- And makes a quick decision.
- 00:16:00.673 --> 00:16:02.142
- A message goes out.
- 00:16:02.609 --> 00:16:04.144
- A message comes back.
- 00:16:04.144 --> 00:16:05.378
- Someone approves.
- 00:16:05.812 --> 00:16:07.147
- Someone stops.
- 00:16:07.147 --> 00:16:08.348
- And the world waits
- 00:16:08.348 --> 00:16:09.682
- For an answer from tehran
- 00:16:09.682 --> 00:16:11.417
- As if this is a country
- 00:16:11.417 --> 00:16:13.052
- Operating at a normal pace.
- 00:16:13.052 --> 00:16:15.221
- But a crisis like
- 00:16:15.655 --> 00:16:16.723
- This doesn't wait.
- 00:16:16.723 --> 00:16:18.124
- When the united states
- 00:16:18.591 --> 00:16:19.526
- Places an offer on the table.
- 00:16:19.526 --> 00:16:21.094
- When israel is on alert.
- 00:16:21.094 --> 00:16:22.395
- When the revolutionary
- 00:16:22.395 --> 00:16:23.563
- Guards are issuing threats.
- 00:16:23.563 --> 00:16:25.064
- And when the global
- 00:16:25.532 --> 00:16:26.633
- Market is watching hormuz,
- 00:16:26.633 --> 00:16:28.168
- A decision that is not made
- 00:16:28.168 --> 00:16:29.769
- In time is already a decision.
- 00:16:29.769 --> 00:16:31.738
- Sometimes it pushes the other
- 00:16:32.372 --> 00:16:33.840
- Side to assume there is no one
- 00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:35.341
- To talk to.
- 00:16:35.341 --> 00:16:36.676
- And here comes trump's
- 00:16:36.676 --> 00:16:37.844
- Biggest problem.
- 00:16:37.844 --> 00:16:38.978
- He can apply pressure.
- 00:16:39.445 --> 00:16:40.613
- He can keep the military
- 00:16:41.147 --> 00:16:42.415
- In the region.
- 00:16:42.415 --> 00:16:43.583
- He can continue
- 00:16:43.583 --> 00:16:44.517
- The naval blockade.
- 00:16:44.517 --> 00:16:46.085
- He can tell his people
- 00:16:46.085 --> 00:16:47.587
- Not to rush into a deal.
- 00:16:47.587 --> 00:16:49.255
- But with whom exactly
- 00:16:49.255 --> 00:16:50.790
- Is he closing the deal?
- 00:16:50.790 --> 00:16:52.625
- With the iranian
- 00:16:53.026 --> 00:16:53.760
- Foreign ministry?
- 00:16:53.760 --> 00:16:55.128
- With the president?
- 00:16:55.128 --> 00:16:56.462
- With mojtaba?
- 00:16:56.462 --> 00:16:57.630
- With the security council?
- 00:16:57.630 --> 00:16:59.199
- With revolutionary
- 00:16:59.632 --> 00:17:00.533
- Guards' generals
- 00:17:00.533 --> 00:17:01.301
- Who are afraid to look weak
- 00:17:01.301 --> 00:17:02.602
- In front of one another?
- 00:17:02.602 --> 00:17:04.337
- Now, benny, i want
- 00:17:04.771 --> 00:17:05.805
- To take this one step further.
- 00:17:05.805 --> 00:17:08.107
- If the iranian regime is truly
- 00:17:08.107 --> 00:17:10.243
- Built today around
- 00:17:10.243 --> 00:17:11.544
- A circle of generals
- 00:17:11.544 --> 00:17:13.012
- And irgc figures,
- 00:17:13.012 --> 00:17:14.214
- Not around one clear leadership,
- 00:17:14.214 --> 00:17:16.449
- What does that do to iran's ability
- 00:17:16.449 --> 00:17:18.918
- To conduct real negotiations?
- 00:17:18.918 --> 00:17:21.020
- Are they even
- 00:17:21.387 --> 00:17:22.555
- Capable of saying yes? yes.
- 00:17:22.555 --> 00:17:25.925
- You know,
- 00:17:25.925 --> 00:17:26.726
- I think those who make us
- 00:17:26.726 --> 00:17:28.995
- Afraid of revealing iran
- 00:17:28.995 --> 00:17:31.164
- And make it free,
- 00:17:31.164 --> 00:17:32.699
- Those are, maybe they have some
- 00:17:32.699 --> 00:17:35.401
- Cooperation with the regime.
- 00:17:35.401 --> 00:17:38.004
- They don't want this regime
- 00:17:38.004 --> 00:17:39.305
- To be gone.
- 00:17:39.305 --> 00:17:40.073
- So they write
- 00:17:40.073 --> 00:17:41.007
- About these clashes inside iran
- 00:17:41.007 --> 00:17:43.176
- And fights of minorities.
- 00:17:43.176 --> 00:17:44.877
- But no, iranian minorities
- 00:17:44.877 --> 00:17:47.313
- Don't want to get rid of iran.
- 00:17:47.313 --> 00:17:50.516
- They want to be part of iran.
- 00:17:50.516 --> 00:17:52.552
- The kurds, the baluchis,
- 00:17:52.552 --> 00:17:53.720
- They don't want
- 00:17:53.720 --> 00:17:54.454
- To fight each other also.
- 00:17:54.454 --> 00:17:56.089
- They have some autonomic
- 00:17:56.089 --> 00:17:57.991
- And ethnic demands,
- 00:17:57.991 --> 00:17:59.525
- Like learning their languages
- 00:17:59.525 --> 00:18:01.828
- Or writing by their letters.
- 00:18:01.828 --> 00:18:04.397
- It's a very small thing,
- 00:18:04.397 --> 00:18:05.898
- You know.
- 00:18:05.898 --> 00:18:06.766
- It's not about bringing
- 00:18:06.766 --> 00:18:08.201
- Iran down as a country.
- 00:18:08.201 --> 00:18:09.736
- They want it united.
- 00:18:09.736 --> 00:18:11.437
- And seven of these ethnic parties,
- 00:18:11.437 --> 00:18:15.041
- Even they declared loyalty
- 00:18:15.041 --> 00:18:17.877
- To the crown prince
- 00:18:17.877 --> 00:18:19.979
- A few months ago
- 00:18:19.979 --> 00:18:21.748
- In those days of the clashes
- 00:18:21.748 --> 00:18:24.684
- And the protests on january.
- 00:18:24.684 --> 00:18:27.954
- It was amazing.
- 00:18:27.954 --> 00:18:29.055
- I had the proof that they don't
- 00:18:29.055 --> 00:18:30.857
- Want to make iran apart.
- 00:18:30.857 --> 00:18:32.792
- So if we have just some hope
- 00:18:32.792 --> 00:18:35.261
- To bring to them,
- 00:18:35.261 --> 00:18:36.729
- And of course declare to them
- 00:18:36.729 --> 00:18:39.265
- That we also don't want iran
- 00:18:39.265 --> 00:18:41.768
- To be apart,
- 00:18:41.768 --> 00:18:42.969
- So we can help them with that, bringing the normal opposition
- 00:18:42.969 --> 00:18:48.074
- From outside or turning
- 00:18:48.074 --> 00:18:50.076
- To the normal moderate
- 00:18:50.076 --> 00:18:52.011
- People inside iran.
- 00:18:52.011 --> 00:18:53.846
- I'm not dreaming, you know.
- 00:18:53.846 --> 00:18:55.615
- I can compromise
- 00:18:55.615 --> 00:18:57.083
- About some things,
- 00:18:57.083 --> 00:18:58.718
- But not about the existence of israel
- 00:18:58.718 --> 00:19:02.121
- Or making a missile program
- 00:19:02.121 --> 00:19:04.590
- So bad that they can hurt
- 00:19:04.590 --> 00:19:06.859
- Also europe or even usa.
- 00:19:06.859 --> 00:19:09.262
- This regime has this dream.
- 00:19:09.262 --> 00:19:11.164
- That does not mean the day
- 00:19:11.164 --> 00:19:12.565
- After will be simple.
- 00:19:12.565 --> 00:19:14.033
- Nothing is simple
- 00:19:14.467 --> 00:19:15.201
- In a country like iran.
- 00:19:15.201 --> 00:19:16.769
- But this is an important distinction.
- 00:19:16.769 --> 00:19:18.905
- Sometimes those who frighten
- 00:19:19.505 --> 00:19:21.007
- The world about the collapse of the regime use
- 00:19:21.007 --> 00:19:23.476
- That fear in order
- 00:19:23.476 --> 00:19:24.410
- To keep the regime alive.
- 00:19:24.410 --> 00:19:25.912
- Now the message is, yes,
- 00:19:26.446 --> 00:19:27.780
- The regime is dangerous, but the alternative will be worse.
- 00:19:27.780 --> 00:19:31.117
- Yes, the revolutionary
- 00:19:31.584 --> 00:19:32.885
- Guards will press,
- 00:19:32.885 --> 00:19:33.920
- But if they disappear,
- 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:35.221
- It will be chaos.
- 00:19:35.221 --> 00:19:36.689
- Yes, iran threatens israel,
- 00:19:36.689 --> 00:19:38.358
- The gulf,
- 00:19:38.358 --> 00:19:39.559
- And the united states, but at least there is an address.
- 00:19:39.559 --> 00:19:43.029
- The question is whether that address is still functioning.
- 00:19:43.029 --> 00:19:46.766
- Because if the address
- 00:19:47.233 --> 00:19:48.701
- Itself is divided in hiding,
- 00:19:48.701 --> 00:19:50.570
- Afraid, lying to itself,
- 00:19:50.570 --> 00:19:52.138
- And holding
- 00:19:52.138 --> 00:19:52.872
- The country by force,
- 00:19:52.872 --> 00:19:54.273
- Then the stability it offers
- 00:19:54.273 --> 00:19:56.175
- May only be another name
- 00:19:56.175 --> 00:19:57.777
- For a later explosion.
- 00:19:57.777 --> 00:19:59.779
- That brings us back to trump.
- 00:19:59.779 --> 00:20:01.280
- If he truly wants an agreement,
- 00:20:01.280 --> 00:20:02.982
- He needs to know not only
- 00:20:02.982 --> 00:20:04.350
- What is written on the paper,
- 00:20:04.350 --> 00:20:05.985
- He needs to know
- 00:20:05.985 --> 00:20:06.886
- Who stands behind the paper.
- 00:20:06.886 --> 00:20:08.588
- If he wants a strike,
- 00:20:09.088 --> 00:20:10.189
- He needs to understand not only
- 00:20:10.189 --> 00:20:11.858
- Which site to hit,
- 00:20:11.858 --> 00:20:12.825
- But which mechanism he is trying
- 00:20:12.825 --> 00:20:14.527
- To break.
- 00:20:14.527 --> 00:20:15.595
- If he wants to combine military
- 00:20:15.595 --> 00:20:17.563
- Pressure with diplomacy,
- 00:20:17.563 --> 00:20:19.065
- He needs to make sure iran
- 00:20:19.065 --> 00:20:20.733
- Is not using this window
- 00:20:20.733 --> 00:20:22.301
- To rebuild what was damaged.
- 00:20:22.301 --> 00:20:24.270
- Benny said he met
- 00:20:24.704 --> 00:20:25.972
- Steve witkoff, trump's envoy,
- 00:20:25.972 --> 00:20:28.074
- And told him simply,
- 00:20:28.074 --> 00:20:29.542
- Do not chase the regime.
- 00:20:29.542 --> 00:20:31.477
- Make it chase you.
- 00:20:31.911 --> 00:20:32.979
- This is an important point,
- 00:20:33.579 --> 00:20:35.014
- Because a regime
- 00:20:35.014 --> 00:20:35.848
- That wants a real agreement
- 00:20:35.848 --> 00:20:37.316
- Behaves differently.
- 00:20:37.316 --> 00:20:38.951
- It tries to gain trust.
- 00:20:39.452 --> 00:20:40.787
- It lowers demands.
- 00:20:40.787 --> 00:20:42.054
- It sends people with authority.
- 00:20:42.054 --> 00:20:43.956
- It presents a clear concession.
- 00:20:43.956 --> 00:20:46.092
- Now, ben,
- 00:20:46.392 --> 00:20:47.560
- If you had to say this to decision makers in washington,
- 00:20:47.560 --> 00:20:50.663
- What would the message be?
- 00:20:50.663 --> 00:20:52.765
- Should they continue pressing
- 00:20:52.765 --> 00:20:54.667
- For an agreement,
- 00:20:54.667 --> 00:20:55.768
- Wait for internal collapse,
- 00:20:55.768 --> 00:20:57.537
- Or understand that as long
- 00:20:57.537 --> 00:20:59.205
- As a handful of extreme figures
- 00:20:59.205 --> 00:21:01.240
- In the revolutionary guards
- 00:21:01.240 --> 00:21:03.042
- Hold the system,
- 00:21:03.042 --> 00:21:04.110
- No agreement will truly hold?
- 00:21:04.110 --> 00:21:06.179
- Wow, i'm very flattered,
- 00:21:06.179 --> 00:21:08.147
- And i really hope that he watches this show someday.
- 00:21:08.147 --> 00:21:12.552
- I hope so, in a few days even.
- 00:21:12.552 --> 00:21:14.620
- And i have a funny thing
- 00:21:15.154 --> 00:21:16.823
- To say about that.
- 00:21:16.823 --> 00:21:18.191
- I was in a summit in miami,
- 00:21:18.191 --> 00:21:20.960
- And witkoff was there,
- 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:23.262
- The messenger of the president,
- 00:21:23.262 --> 00:21:26.499
- And i actually caught him
- 00:21:26.499 --> 00:21:29.101
- In hands,
- 00:21:29.101 --> 00:21:30.303
- And i told him exactly these things in a very few words.
- 00:21:30.303 --> 00:21:35.908
- I didn't have so many minutes,
- 00:21:35.908 --> 00:21:38.377
- But i said it.
- 00:21:38.377 --> 00:21:39.946
- This regime is a liar.
- 00:21:40.413 --> 00:21:42.815
- These are worse
- 00:21:43.182 --> 00:21:44.650
- Than it was before.
- 00:21:44.650 --> 00:21:46.953
- Don't negotiate with them.
- 00:21:46.953 --> 00:21:48.921
- Make them beg,
- 00:21:49.255 --> 00:21:50.556
- And not us begging them.
- 00:21:50.556 --> 00:21:52.725
- This is the main thing.
- 00:21:52.725 --> 00:21:54.427
- We don't have to pursue them.
- 00:21:54.427 --> 00:21:55.828
- They have to pursue us,
- 00:21:55.828 --> 00:21:56.996
- And they are not.
- 00:21:56.996 --> 00:21:58.397
- This means for me
- 00:21:58.397 --> 00:21:59.365
- That they don't want
- 00:21:59.365 --> 00:22:00.533
- Any kind of agreement.
- 00:22:00.533 --> 00:22:02.068
- If they don't want
- 00:22:02.068 --> 00:22:03.102
- To come to new york,
- 00:22:03.102 --> 00:22:04.270
- Or to pakistan, or anywhere,
- 00:22:04.270 --> 00:22:05.838
- And they have these clashes
- 00:22:05.838 --> 00:22:07.406
- With themselves,
- 00:22:07.406 --> 00:22:08.341
- Who is more radical,
- 00:22:08.341 --> 00:22:09.475
- This is a very bad thing.
- 00:22:09.475 --> 00:22:11.410
- And this means for me
- 00:22:11.410 --> 00:22:13.112
- That the only solution
- 00:22:13.112 --> 00:22:14.981
- Is eliminating those few
- 00:22:14.981 --> 00:22:17.016
- Remained irgc generals,
- 00:22:17.016 --> 00:22:18.918
- And letting other powers
- 00:22:18.918 --> 00:22:20.887
- To come up and take the place,
- 00:22:20.887 --> 00:22:23.389
- Because there are inside iran
- 00:22:23.389 --> 00:22:25.791
- And outside iran.
- 00:22:25.791 --> 00:22:27.627
- This also gives hope
- 00:22:27.627 --> 00:22:28.928
- To the people.
- 00:22:28.928 --> 00:22:30.229
- They can see that the barriers,
- 00:22:30.229 --> 00:22:32.698
- Not only the physical,
- 00:22:32.698 --> 00:22:34.467
- But those generals have so much
- 00:22:34.467 --> 00:22:36.936
- Blood, of iranian blood,
- 00:22:36.936 --> 00:22:38.838
- And also jewish blood,
- 00:22:38.838 --> 00:22:40.573
- And christian blood
- 00:22:40.573 --> 00:22:42.108
- On their hands,
- 00:22:42.108 --> 00:22:43.342
- From the christian
- 00:22:43.342 --> 00:22:44.810
- Minority inside iran.
- 00:22:44.810 --> 00:22:46.546
- You know one thing
- 00:22:46.979 --> 00:22:48.347
- I have to say,
- 00:22:48.347 --> 00:22:49.415
- Many iranians convert
- 00:22:49.415 --> 00:22:51.017
- To christianity,
- 00:22:51.017 --> 00:22:52.251
- And they arrest them,
- 00:22:52.251 --> 00:22:53.786
- And they hang them.
- 00:22:53.786 --> 00:22:55.354
- I deeply appreciate
- 00:22:55.821 --> 00:22:56.656
- Your expertise benny.
- 00:22:56.656 --> 00:22:57.790
- Thank you for coming
- 00:22:57.790 --> 00:22:58.558
- On the show,
- 00:22:58.558 --> 00:22:59.025
- And we're going
- 00:22:59.025 --> 00:22:59.725
- To definitely have you on again.
- 00:22:59.725 --> 00:23:01.093
- Thank you very much.
- 00:23:01.093 --> 00:23:02.128
- Thank you.
- 00:23:02.128 --> 00:23:03.195
- In the end, this is not only
- 00:23:03.195 --> 00:23:05.031
- A question of tactics.
- 00:23:05.031 --> 00:23:06.499
- It's a question of understanding
- 00:23:07.133 --> 00:23:08.401
- The enemy.
- 00:23:08.401 --> 00:23:09.602
- Trump can look like
- 00:23:09.602 --> 00:23:10.636
- He is buying time,
- 00:23:10.636 --> 00:23:11.637
- But sometimes
- 00:23:11.637 --> 00:23:12.338
- In american history,
- 00:23:12.338 --> 00:23:13.539
- That time was part of the operation, and the preparation.
- 00:23:13.539 --> 00:23:16.509
- Bush spoke about diplomacy,
- 00:23:17.109 --> 00:23:18.678
- Until the ultimatum came.
- 00:23:18.678 --> 00:23:20.713
- Obama spoke about choice,
- 00:23:20.713 --> 00:23:22.114
- Until the aircraft took off.
- 00:23:22.114 --> 00:23:24.350
- And today trump is talking about a big, and meaningful deal.
- 00:23:24.350 --> 00:23:27.887
- But he is also telling
- 00:23:28.354 --> 00:23:29.555
- His people not to rush.
- 00:23:29.555 --> 00:23:30.923
- He's keeping the military
- 00:23:31.490 --> 00:23:32.725
- In the region.
- 00:23:32.725 --> 00:23:33.826
- He's keeping
- 00:23:33.826 --> 00:23:34.527
- The economic pressure,
- 00:23:34.527 --> 00:23:35.828
- And he's keeping the threat
- 00:23:35.828 --> 00:23:37.396
- On the table.
- 00:23:37.396 --> 00:23:38.331
- The difference is that in iran,
- 00:23:38.331 --> 00:23:40.333
- There may not be one person
- 00:23:40.333 --> 00:23:42.101
- Capable of making that threat,
- 00:23:42.101 --> 00:23:44.070
- And turning it into a decision.
- 00:23:44.070 --> 00:23:46.472
- Maybe that's a real danger?
- 00:23:46.472 --> 00:23:47.940
- Not only nuclear, not only
- 00:23:48.507 --> 00:23:50.376
- Missiles, not only homs,
- 00:23:50.376 --> 00:23:52.111
- But an armed,
- 00:23:52.111 --> 00:23:53.045
- Wounded, frightened,
- 00:23:53.045 --> 00:23:54.513
- And divided regime,
- 00:23:54.513 --> 00:23:55.881
- Holding an entire country,
- 00:23:55.881 --> 00:23:57.750
- But unable
- 00:23:57.750 --> 00:23:58.484
- To answer a single question.
- 00:23:58.484 --> 00:24:00.586
- Who here has the power
- 00:24:01.053 --> 00:24:03.322
- To say yes?
- 00:24:03.322 --> 00:24:05.124
- This is the most dangerous moment.
- 00:24:05.124 --> 00:24:07.126
- Not when the war is visible,
- 00:24:07.126 --> 00:24:08.494
- But when the agreement
- 00:24:08.494 --> 00:24:09.562
- Is almost ready,
- 00:24:09.562 --> 00:24:10.363
- And the other side
- 00:24:10.363 --> 00:24:11.263
- Is still building power.
- 00:24:11.263 --> 00:24:12.898
- Will trump turn military
- 00:24:12.898 --> 00:24:14.166
- Pressure into a real agreement?
- 00:24:14.166 --> 00:24:15.835
- Or will iran use diplomacy
- 00:24:15.835 --> 00:24:18.004
- To reload its weapons?
- 00:24:18.004 --> 00:24:20.339
- So, keep spreading
- 00:24:20.773 --> 00:24:21.641
- The truth, guys.
- 00:24:21.641 --> 00:24:22.875
- Follow us, and most importantly,
- 00:24:22.875 --> 00:24:24.644
- Don't forget
- 00:24:24.644 --> 00:24:25.311
- To click the subscribe button,
- 00:24:25.311 --> 00:24:27.013
- So that you stay tuned
- 00:24:27.013 --> 00:24:28.247
- To the truth in real time,
- 00:24:28.247 --> 00:24:29.715
- And never miss boots
- 00:24:29.715 --> 00:24:30.850
- On the ground.
- 00:24:30.850 --> 00:24:32.018
- Keep looking
- 00:24:32.018 --> 00:24:32.752
- For me, mati shoshani,
- 00:24:32.752 --> 00:24:34.120
- And yair pinto on social media,
- 00:24:34.120 --> 00:24:35.988
- To see life in israel
- 00:24:35.988 --> 00:24:37.256
- Through our eyes.
- 00:24:37.256 --> 00:24:38.691
- Now, i want to remind you,
- 00:24:38.691 --> 00:24:40.359
- As always, to say a prayer
- 00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:42.028
- For the people of israel.
- 00:24:42.028 --> 00:24:43.663
- We're commanded, biblically,
- 00:24:43.663 --> 00:24:45.164
- Whether you read
- 00:24:45.164 --> 00:24:46.065
- The new testament,
- 00:24:46.065 --> 00:24:47.099
- The old testament,
- 00:24:47.099 --> 00:24:48.067
- Or both, to pray
- 00:24:48.067 --> 00:24:48.968
- For the people of israel.
- 00:24:48.968 --> 00:24:50.503
- So, i want
- 00:24:50.503 --> 00:24:51.170
- To challenge you right now,
- 00:24:51.170 --> 00:24:52.505
- As you're watching this video,
- 00:24:52.505 --> 00:24:54.073
- To continuously pray
- 00:24:54.073 --> 00:24:55.141
- For the peace of jerusalem,
- 00:24:55.141 --> 00:24:56.575
- For the peace of the israeli people,
- 00:24:56.575 --> 00:24:58.477
- For god's will in the middle east to be done,
- 00:24:58.477 --> 00:25:00.813
- And for the evil iranian regime
- 00:25:00.813 --> 00:25:02.448
- To be removed sooner
- 00:25:02.448 --> 00:25:03.516
- Rather than later.
- 00:25:03.516 --> 00:25:04.917
- Be blessed, guys,
- 00:25:04.917 --> 00:25:05.751
- And we'll see you all next time.
- 00:25:05.751 --> 00:25:12.158
- We hope you liked our report.
- 00:25:12.792 --> 00:25:14.460
- Now, we will go
- 00:25:14.827 --> 00:25:15.761
- To a short commercial break
- 00:25:15.761 --> 00:25:17.430
- After which we will return
- 00:25:17.430 --> 00:25:18.998
- So that we can pray together.
- 00:25:18.998 --> 00:25:24.997
- So that we can pray together.
- 00:25:24.997 --> 00:25:28.475
- Thank you very much
- 00:25:28.942 --> 00:25:29.876
- For coming back to us.
- 00:25:29.876 --> 00:25:31.178
- Now, let me remind you
- 00:25:31.178 --> 00:25:32.379
- That this is a spiritual war.
- 00:25:32.379 --> 00:25:34.247
- There's no other reason for all
- 00:25:34.881 --> 00:25:37.050
- These nations around the world
- 00:25:37.050 --> 00:25:39.119
- To hate the jewish people,
- 00:25:39.119 --> 00:25:40.921
- To hate israel so much.
- 00:25:40.921 --> 00:25:42.522
- We do not have natural resources.
- 00:25:43.223 --> 00:25:45.192
- We do not have oil.
- 00:25:45.192 --> 00:25:46.459
- We do not have gas.
- 00:25:46.459 --> 00:25:47.494
- But what we do have is god's faithfulness.
- 00:25:47.494 --> 00:25:51.498
- He made promises
- 00:25:51.898 --> 00:25:53.099
- To our ancestors,
- 00:25:53.099 --> 00:25:54.401
- Abram, isaac, jacob in the bible,
