On June 13, 2025, Israel initiated “Operation Rising Lion,” attacking Iran's ballistic missiles installations, eliminating a significant number of Iran's elite military leadership and nuclear scientists. Then on June 21, 2025, the United States unleashed “Operation Midnight Hammer” and attacked Iran's nuclear facilities at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Now that the dust has settled, what are the key takeaways from these military operations? During this episode of the Blessors of Israel Podcast, Dr. Matthew Dodd and Pastor Rich Jones discuss the ramifications of both strikes and also provide an assessment of the ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Hamas.Visit the Blessors of Israel Website: https://www.blessors.org/ Thank you for supporting Blessors of Israel.

In a sweeping discussion, the hosts cover the fallout after UPenn was forced to strip transgender swimmer Leah Thomas (Will Thomas) of titles and issue personal apologies to the displaced female athletes—sparking outrage and satire. They pivot to a sobering analysis of Iran's nuclear program, revealing that contrary to official claims, Iran retains significant enrichment capability deep within facilities like Isfahan and Pickaxe Mountain—many of which remain untouched and potentially operational. While the Pentagon admits Iran's program was set back by only 1–2 years, China's involvement and Trump's mixed signals on oil sanctions fuel suspicion that Iran's nuclear ambitions are far from over. The segment closes with speculation about whether new U.S. legislation authorizing B-2 bombers and bunker busters for Israel will preempt Iran's next moves before it's too late.

These discussions reveal two unfolding crises: First, liberal judges are issuing nationwide injunctions against Donald Trump's border enforcement policies—directly defying Supreme Court rulings and raising the specter of a constitutional crisis as activist courts challenge executive authority. The hosts argue these rulings are designed to provoke Trump into defiance, fueling narratives that he is a “dictator” and stoking violence against ICE agents. Second, the spotlight shifts to Iran's nuclear program, where despite high-profile bombings, key sites like Isfahan and Pickaxe Mountain remain largely intact, likely housing centrifuges and fissile material. With China deeply entwined in Iran's nuclear ambitions and Trump relaxing oil sanctions, the danger of a revitalized weapons program looms. As legislation advances to arm Israel with B-2 bombers and bunker busters, the hosts warn the clock is ticking to prevent Iran from completing a nuclear weapon.

In this explosive broadcast, Tara reveals why the so-called “Twelve-Day War” with Iran is far from finished. She breaks down how Iran's uranium enrichment program, run largely by Chinese scientists, survived U.S. bunker-buster strikes because critical stockpiles remain buried under Isfahan—a site too deep to destroy. Tara argues Iran is effectively a Chinese proxy, and warns that regime change or further strikes may be inevitable, as Israel openly threatens to eliminate the Ayatollah. Switching gears, Tara celebrates the Supreme Court's landmark decision curbing the power of liberal judges to impose nationwide injunctions—something she calls “judicial dictatorship.” The ruling means district judges can no longer single-handedly block Trump's entire agenda. With analysis from Andy McCarthy, Pam Bondi, and Ted Cruz, she explains how this restores constitutional balance and frees the administration to act without being hamstrung by partisan courts. The segment closes with a warning: If Democrats return to power, they will revive funding and legal protections for Iran's nuclear ambitions—and America could face an emboldened, nuclear-armed adversary backed by China.

In this sweeping broadcast, Tara unpacks a string of bombshell stories the media buried over the weekend. First, Canada backed off its 3% “digital services tax” targeting U.S. social media giants after Trump shut down all tariff negotiations, proving how quickly foreign governments fold when America finally flexes its leverage. Then she details the chilling escalation out of Iran: a second fatwa by a top cleric calling for Trump's assassination—just as new satellite images confirm Iran is rebuilding its Chinese-run nuclear facilities destroyed by U.S. strikes. Tara explains why the uranium stockpile hidden deep in Isfahan could reignite the crisis any moment. But the heart of the episode is a resurfaced clip of Zoran Mamdani openly declaring his plan to seize the means of production, empty the prisons, and defund the police—echoing the Marxist playbook Tara has warned about for years. She traces how this radical vision for America would leverage emergencies (like a climate crisis) to trigger the Lever Act, seize food and fuel, and install a system of total control paired with social credit scoring. From Canadian trade battles to Iranian nuclear ambitions and the Democratic Socialists' dangerous momentum, Tara argues that the biggest threat isn't just foreign adversaries—but the ideological revolution brewing at home, waiting for its chance to lock in power permanently.

In back-to-back broadcasts, Tara dissects two critical developments shaping America's future. First, she takes listeners inside the heated GOP budget fight, exposing how Senate leadership—namely Lindsey Graham and John Thune—pushed for funding Medicaid for illegal immigrants and used accounting gimmicks to mask a $3.5 trillion deficit increase. Despite flashy claims of fiscal responsibility, Tara reveals that Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill” relies on unrealistic 3% growth projections and temporary tariff revenues that may soon vanish—highlighting deep fractures within the Republican party. Then, the focus shifts to Iran. Tara warns that the so-called “Twelve-Day War” is anything but over. Key uranium enrichment sites like Isfahan remain untouched by U.S. bunker busters, harboring Chinese-run reactors that pose a massive global threat. With Israel threatening to assassinate Iran's leadership and Trump signaling a willingness to strike again, the conflict teeters on the edge of escalation. At the same time, Tara celebrates a Supreme Court decision ending the power of liberal judges to impose nationwide injunctions against Trump—a move she says breaks the left's judicial chokehold. Together, these episodes paint a picture of high-stakes political warfare—foreign and domestic—that could define Trump's legacy and the nation's security.

On June 22, American B-2 bombers dropped hundreds of tons of explosives on three nuclear sites in Iran—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Right after President Trump announced that the pilots were out of Iranian air space, the world started to learn the details of Operation Midnight Hammer, the extraordinary American mission to neutralize Iran's nuclear-weapons program. News coverage started immediately—and some of the most incisive and careful analysis appeared outside of the legacy media. Some of the best news coverage in English could be found at the Free Press, the Daily Wire, and the Call Me Back podcast.   Rather than bring on the guests who've already offered up their analysis in those venues, we thought it would be valuable to have a series of conversations on dimensions of this war—not only Operation Midnight Hammer, but the last two weeks beginning with the Israeli airstrikes on Iran—that take up some of the deeper, less immediate concerns. War is violent and bloody. But war is also a teacher, and it reveals things about the nations who wage it.   “Living Through History: Learning from the Twelve-Day War” is a series of conversations from the Tikvah Podcast at Mosaic and featuring its host, Jonathan Silver. These include a discussion with Rabbi Meir Soloveichik on what the war reveals about providence and Jewish history; with Hussein Aboubakr Mansour about what the war reveals about the clash of civilizations; with the Israeli ambassador to the United States, Yechiel Leiter, about what the war reveals about the U.S.- Israel relationship at this moment in Zionist history; and with Victor Davis Hanson about what the war reveals about the American interest. Today you can listen to the first, with Rabbi Soloveichik.

Israel and the United States justified their war against Iran on claims that its nuclear program posed an existential threat. Iran had no nuclear weapons, but the nature of its enrichment program exceeds what is necessary for peaceful energy production. An unintended consequence of U.S. and Israeli belligerence, say non-proliferation experts, could be that Iran now secretly races for a bomb. If the lesson here is that the only way to guarantee national security is to obtain nuclear deterrence, other nation-states might also break from the global non-proliferation regime. In this episode, national security analyst and career arms control expert Joe Cirincione takes us inside Iran's program and its implications for the rest of the world. Cirincione is one of a few Americans to have visited Iran's Isfahan uranium enrichment facility. Further reading: Strategy & History newsletter by Joe Cirincione

Late on June 21st, Trump joined Israel's war on Iran. Just two days after warning Iran it had two weeks to make a deal, Trump unleashed the military might of 30,000-pound bunker busters delivered by B2 bombers on Fordo, while Tomahawks struck Natanz and Isfahan. With typical bombast, Trump bragged that Iran's nuclear sites were “totally obliterated." Iranian officials, however, claim the facilities had been emptied of nuclear materials months ago. Suzi spoke to Yassamine Mather just before Trump started bombing to get her analysis of Israel's “Operation Rising Lion” — a unilateral military strike on Iran marking a dangerous new escalation in an already volatile region. The attack comes amid Israel's ongoing genocidal war on Gaza, accelerating dispossession of Palestinians in the West Bank, pager bomb assassinations in Lebanon, and land grabs in Syria. Netanyahu's war cabinet is committed to military solutions on all fronts — now including Iran. Iran has retaliated deep inside Israeli territory. This is a first for Israel, and it is dangerous in every way. Although the US was fully informed of Israel's intentions, Netanyahu defied Trump's public opposition to the strike. Trump then flipped, backing Netanyahu's attack and warning Iran to make a deal or else. Now we see the 'or else.'

Trump Launches Massive Airstrike on Iran's Nuclear Facilities On Saturday night, U.S. forces struck Iran's nuclear sites at Isfahan, Natanz, and Fordow using Tomahawk missiles and B-2 bombers with bunker-busting MOPs. The operation aimed to halt Iran's growing nuclear threat without seeking regime change. The Lead-Up: Peace Talks Failed, Iran Accelerated Toward the Bomb Despite last-minute efforts, peace negotiations collapsed when Iran's Supreme Leader couldn't be reached. U.S. and Israeli intelligence confirmed Iran was accelerating weapons development, missile programs, and plans for a potential strike on Israel. The Strike Plan: 125 Aircraft and Precision Targeting The operation involved over 125 U.S. aircraft and coordination with Israeli and Arab allies. All aircraft returned safely. Early satellite imagery confirms severe damage to nuclear facilities, though some equipment may have been smuggled out to China before the attack. Iran's Response: Missile Strikes, Terror Threats, and Strait of Hormuz Threat Iran fired missiles into Israeli cities, injuring civilians, and warned of sleeper cell attacks in the West. Its parliament is considering closing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil passage, which could trigger wider war. Russia, China, and Europe React Russia threatens to provide Iran with nuclear warheads. France warns of Iranian terror cells in Europe. The U.S. and Arab allies brace for retaliation while some quietly support Israel's actions. U.S. Homeland at Risk from Sleeper Cells FBI Director Kash Patel ramps up counterterror operations, especially with concerns about Iranian saboteurs among the millions of unvetted illegal immigrants. Border Czar Tom Homan blames Biden-era immigration for the heightened risk. What Comes Next: Regime Change, Retaliation, or Peace? President Trump insists regime change is not the goal, though he hints at it. Arab leaders back Israel privately. Europe fears a terror wave. America must now prepare for blowback, both at home and abroad. "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." – John 8:32 Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Today's Headlines: The U.S. launched military strikes on three of Iran's key nuclear sites—Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan—this weekend, marking a major escalation in the Israel-Iran conflict. President Trump called the operation a “spectacular military success,” though Iran claimed it had already moved its enriched uranium, blunting the strike's long-term impact. Notably, senior Republicans and Israeli leadership were briefed beforehand—Democrats were not. In response, DHS issued a terrorism alert for a heightened threat environment this summer, citing potential cyberattacks and global protests. At the UN, Iran accused the U.S. of destroying diplomacy and Russia warned the strikes opened a “Pandora's box.” Meanwhile, Pakistan bizarrely announced it will recommend Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize for allegedly mediating peace between India and Pakistan—something Indian officials firmly deny. In domestic news, courts issued a series of major rulings: a judge ordered the release of Palestinian grad student Mahmoud Khalil from federal detention, prompting a DHS appeal; Trump was granted continued control of California's National Guard amid immigration protests; and a Louisiana law requiring display of the Ten Commandments in schools was struck down as unconstitutional. Finally, HHS will end LGBTQ-specific services on the 988 suicide hotline by July 17 and Cybernews reported that 16 billion login credentials were leaked online in a massive data compilation.

It's Monday, June 23rd, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Christian persecution pervades Christian-majority nations in Africa & Latin America Many Christians across Africa and Latin America continue to suffer for their faith because of Islamic oppression, dictatorial paranoia, and criminal cartel organizations, reports International Christian Concern. Large populations in Cuba, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mexico, Mozambique, Nicaragua, and Nigeria are predominantly Christian. Yet, many Christ followers in these nations are often brutally attacked for following Christ, and their governments are failing to protect them.  In Congo, Christians represent 95% of the nation's population, yet they are being slaughtered at alarming rates. Much of the killing is being done by Islamist groups like ISIS-DRC, also known as the Allied Democratic Forces. Likewise, in Mozambique, 62% of the population is composed of Christians, yet Islamic extremists still target them for their faith. According to Open Doors, these extremists have “target[ed] Christian places of worship, abducted religious leaders, and killed numerous believers.”  And in Cuba, the Catholic Church estimates that 60% of the population practices Catholicism. Cuban churches that publicly oppose the government's human rights abuses are targeted by authorities for harassment and intimidation. British House of Commons passes dangerous bill legalizing assisted suicide Members of the British House of Commons voted Friday to pass a dangerous bill to legalize assisted suicide, reports LifeNews.com. In a vote of 314 to 291, Members of Parliament put their stamp of approval on the bill that will likely result in pressuring disabled and elderly people to kill themselves. Isaiah 59:7 says, “Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. They pursue evil schemes; acts of violence mark their ways.” Tim Dieppe, Head of Policy at Christian Concern, was outraged. DIEPPE: “Once you legalize assisted suicide, you will put pressure on vulnerable people. Vulnerable people will feel like they're a burden to others. People will be suggesting assisted suicide. Doctors could suggest it. I mean, that's horrific. You know, my wife died of cancer three years ago. I can't imagine what it would be like if her consultant had suggested suicide.” Labour legislator Diane Abbott said she's concerned that for-profit companies will run assisted dying businesses that take advantage of killing people for money. Members of Parliament had only 10 hours to consider over 130 amendments to the bill, or less than 5 minutes per change. America bombed Iran's nuclear facilities On Saturday, the U.S. military bombed three sites in Iran, directly joining Israel's effort to decapitate the country's nuclear program in a risky gambit to weaken a longtime foe amid Tehran's threat of reprisals that could spark a wider regional conflict, reports the Associated Press. TRUMP: “A short time ago, the US military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's number one state sponsor of terror. “Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated. Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier. For 40 years, Iran has been saying, ‘Death to America, Death to Israel.'” The decision to directly involve the U.S. in the war comes after more than a week of strikes by Israel on Iran that aimed to systematically eradicate the country's air defenses and offensive missile capabilities, while damaging its nuclear enrichment facilities. TRUMP: “I want to thank and congratulate [Israeli] Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team like perhaps no team has ever worked before, and we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel. I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades.” (Learn more about the timeline that led up to America's bombing of Iran's nuclear facilities.) Iran threatens to block Strait of Hormuz, blocking 20% of oil shipments In response, Iran is reportedly saying it will block the Strait of Hormuz and stop oil shipments for what amounts to 20% of the world's daily oil flow and up to $1 billion, which will send oil prices soaring globally, reports NewsMax. Needless to say, Iran has no legal authority to block traffic through Hormuz, and blockage would mean direct combat with U.S. naval assets, including the U.S. Fifth Fleet warships patrolling the region. Dear Lord, We pray for peace. Amen. The 30,000-pound bunker bomb that made the difference In a post on TruthSocial, Trump said, “There is not another military in the world that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!” Indeed, America's 30,000-pound bunker buster bomb offered the best chance of destroying heavily fortified sites connected to the Iranian nuclear program buried deep underground. Appearing on ABC News, Retired Lt. General Doug Lute explained. LUTE: “The original purpose of building this bomb was actually concern about the North Korean deeply buried nuclear related sites. So, this didn't originally have anything to do with Iran. But most recently, it's the only bomb in our inventory, or frankly, in the global inventory, that promises some prospect of actually penetrating the mountainside in which the crown jewel of the Iranian nuclear program, the Fordow site, is located. So, this is our best technological advantage in terms of trying to get to that site.” 90% of Trump Republicans say “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon” Appearing on Fox News Channel with Dana Perino, Chris Stirewalt summarized Trump's mindset about Iran. STIREWALT: “I think that Donald Trump has never wavered from the ultimate objective, which is that the Iranian nuclear program has to end. It has to be dismantled. It has to be destroyed. The only question has been whether it's done militarily or whether it's done voluntarily. “He gave them a 60-day deadline. They let the deadline pass, and so Israel began bombing on Day 61 and now he is basically holding out. ‘This is your last chance. The time for negotiation is over. There's not going to be any kind of deal.' “This is a question of whether Iran cries ‘amo,' which is Persian for ‘uncle,' and allows U.S. to come in and blow up Fordow from the inside, or we do it from without, from the skies above, with B2 bombers. But I think there is zero chance that the Fordow nuclear facility survives this encounter.” Stirewalt asserted that the Make America Great Again crowd is supportive of Trump's decision to bomb Iran. STIREWALT: “The idea that there's a schism in the Republican Party, or that the Trump Coalition is breaking up is completely absurd. The Reagan Institute is coming out with a new poll this weekend. 90% of self-described [Make America Great Again] Republicans say Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon. 80% say that Israel's security is vital to our security. 64% support Israel bombing the nuclear facilities. There is absolutely no daylight between Donald Trump and the  [Make America Great Again] movement. The MAGA movement is absolutely behind Donald Trump in getting rid of this nuclear program.” On Truth Social, President Trump posted, “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal.” He concluded, “This is an historic moment for the United States of America, Israel, and the world. Iran must now agree to end this war.” Texas answers  “What is a Woman?” in state law Last Friday, Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed into law the “What is a Woman Bill” also known as House Bill 229, reports Texas Values. Now, in Texas, men can no longer pretend to be women. The law accurately defines the terms “man”, “woman”, “boy”, and “girl” by scientific definitions and biological reality. The effect would be that biological  women will have their rights, opportunities, and privacy protected by law. Genesis 1:27 states,  “So God created mankind in His own image, in the image of God He created them; male and female He created them.” While Texas already has laws protecting women's sports, there have been many other threats to women's prisons, sororities, and private spaces like locker rooms.  Hockey player gives glory to God after winning Stanley Cup The Russian-born goaltender of the National Hockey League's Florida Panthers, Sergei Bobrovsky, gave glory to God upon his victory after his team won the famed Stanley Cup, the championship trophy in the NHL, for the second year in a row, reports LifeSiteNews.com. REPORTER: “What makes this one special?” BOBROVSKY: “I mean, it's amazing feeling, and I want to say glory to the father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. I want to thank him for everything I have, for my parents, for my family.” Worldview listener in California is grateful the whole family can listen I invited Worldview listeners to share what they enjoy about the newscast in 2-6 sentences by email.  You can share your thoughts — along with your full name, city and state — and send it to adam@TheWorldview.com Carri Andry in Morgan Hill, California wrote, “Hi Adam!

Seit der Nacht zum Sonntag ist die Lage im Nahen Osten noch gefährlicher, als sie es ohnehin schon war. Tarnkappenbomber der U.S. Air Force griffen Irans unterirdische Urananreicherungsanlage in Fordo sowie Einrichtungen in Natans und Isfahan an. US-Präsident Donald Trump hatte bis zuletzt offengelassen, ob sich die USA in den Krieg zwischen Israel und Iran einschalten würden. Wie kam es zu der Entscheidung, anzugreifen? In der aktuellen Folge des SPIEGEL-Podcasts »Trumps Amerika« spricht Host Juan Moreno mit Mathieu von Rohr, Auslandschef des SPIEGEL. Dieser ist davon überzeugt, dass US-Präsident Trump keinen langfristigen strategischen Plan mit dem Bombardement verfolgt, sondern von Israels Premier Netanyahu zu der Aktion überredet wurde. »Israels Premier hatte seit dem Start der Angriffe nur eine Exitstrategie – die USA in den Konflikt gegen den Iran hineinzuziehen. Und dies ist Netanyahu gelungen«, so von Rohr. Mehr zum Thema: (S+) Die Angst vor Irans Raketen ist in Israel groß, doch viele haben zu Hause keinen Bunker.

Mentre in Italia erano da poco passate le 2 del mattino di domenica 22 giugno, il presidente statunitense Donald Trump annunciava un attacco mirato contro tre siti nucleari dell'Iran: Fordow, Natanz e Isfahan. Nelle ore successive, il ministro degli Esteri iraniano Abbas Araghchi si è recato a Mosca nel tentativo di ottenere maggiore sostegno da parte del Cremlino. Tuttavia, le attenzioni russe restano saldamente rivolte al fronte ucraino, limitando la disponibilità di Mosca a un coinvolgimento più diretto. Ne parliamo con Pejman Abdolmohammadi, docente di Storia e Istituzioni del Medio Oriente all'Università di Trento, Roberto Menotti, Vice direttore di Aspenia, e con Eleonora Tafuro Ambrosetti, analista ISPI per l'area Russia, Caucaso e Asia Centrale.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman and US bureau chief Jacob Magid join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. US President Donald Trump announced early Sunday that the US had carried out a “successful attack” on the Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites in Iran. We learn what was hit and Trump's warnings to Iran about either returning to the negotiating table, or else. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities early Sunday morning, thanking Trump for bringing “peace through strength.” We discuss the options that are now on the table for Iran as well as the wider implications for the region as the Israel-Iran war continues. Berman speaks about the potential realignment of regional axes with a severely weakened Iran. And finally, Magid weighs in on whether the broader US population is on board with these attacks on Iran -- and why some may hesitate.

//The Wire//1215Z June 22, 2025////IMMEDIATE////BLUF: UNITED STATES CONDUCTS AIRSTRIKES IN IRAN.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE-----Middle East: A few moments ago, President Trump posted a statement on social media, confirming that a series of airstrikes has been carried out at Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. In the post, President Trump stated that all of the aircraft involved are out of Iranian airspace, and has insinuated that this is a one-and-done series of attacks.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: As this is a developing situation, no additional details have been provided. President Trump has not yet held a press conference, nor has the White House, so every American is discovering that the United States has struck Iran from a single social media post. A few moments after this announcement, President Trump's account on Truth Social went offline, leading many to wonder if this was some sort of cybersecurity event.Further details are expected to emerge in due time, however right now we have nothing but the post from President Trump's Truth Social account. At this time, Congress has NOT declared war on Iran, however, if the hundreds of aircraft that have been moved into the CENTCOM theater over the past few days are any indication, this is probably not a one-and-done series of attacks. There are simply too many resources spread throughout the Middle East for this to be over just yet.Strategic Indications and Warnings: HFGCS traffic has been elevated over the past few days/weeks, however no extremely concerning EAMs have been detected over the past few hours. Radio chatter on the Russian BearNet is also quiet at this time.This strike lines up with the timing of the B2 Spirit stealth bombers which took off from Whiteman AFB this morning with what was assessed at the time to be a full payload of munitions.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2underground//END REPORT//

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Overnight, an Israeli airstrike in Iran killed Saeed Izadi, the head of the Palestine Corps in the IRGC Quds Force, who funded and armed Hamas ahead of the terror group’s October 7 onslaught as part of a multi-front plan to destroy Israel. Fabian describes who he was and how central he was in drafting Iran's ultimate strategy to eliminate Israel. Also hit last night was Iran’s Isfahan nuclear site for the second time since the start of the conflict, as Iran fired an overnight volley of five ballistic missiles at central Israel. The strike on the first day of the conflict destroyed several critical sections, including uranium conversion infrastructure and labs. Last night's strikes were intended to cause further damage to Iran’s nuclear program. IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir told Israelis yesterday that they must prepare for a “prolonged campaign” against Iran to “eliminate a threat of this magnitude,” indicating that a quick end to the campaign was unlikely. We ask Fabian to decipher this cryptic message from the head of the IDF even as US President Donald Trump told reports that Israel appears to be "winning." Also yesterday, reporters were told that Israel is not running low on air defense interceptors amid its conflict with Iran, denying reporting that the IDF’s stockpile of interceptor missiles is being depleted. Fabian explains why this may still be the case. Iran is not only firing traditional ballistic missiles at Israel: At least one ballistic missile launched by Iran at Israel in a barrage on Thursday morning was carrying a cluster bomb warhead, marking a dangerous new development. We speak about this type of missile, as well as Iran's drips-and-drabs retaliation to the continued Israeli strikes. To close out, we review the stunning operation to eliminate Iran’s top military commanders early June 13 was code-named “Red Wedding” after the infamous scene in the “A Song of Ice and Fire” book series and “Game of Thrones” TV show, due to the almost fantastical way it was carried out. Fabian explains why. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Will TikTok TACO Trump chicken out with Iran? We're talking about millions of actual lives here... so maybe not. MAGA thought they opposed such things as “forever wars”, but they'll get over it, like their opposition to Russia. It's easy to do when you think about it, and even easier when you don't. You'd think that making conspiracy theorists put up or shut up would put them in some sort of bind, but these are a spunky and resilient group of whackadoodles. Confronted with a tragically factual Christian nationalist assassin, they expeditiously took reality lemons and turned them into MAGA lemonade. Chinese license plates and thousands of cards stole the 2020 election for Bernie Sanders. Not many people know that. Donald K. Trump is objectively bad for America. Journalists are hesitant to point that out, lest their network soapboxes be turned into real ones. Still, with protests, it pays to not give MAGA a seed of truth to roll their dung around. Nonviolence is the way. Then later, we'll impeach the bastard, maybe this term, maybe his third or fourth. Four execs from the top tech companies in Silicon Valley have joined the Army Reserve but probably won't be putting boots down in Isfahan soon or even in the next two weeks.

In the early hours of Friday morning, Israel pulled off a historic strike on Iran. As I record these lines, Iran is reporting a “massive explosion” in Isfahan, in a province that is home to several nuclear facilities. In Israel, where Shabbat has begun, the government has ordered all synagogues to shut down—and for citizens to remain close to bomb shelters as they brace for a retaliatory strike. It is hard to overstate the magnitude of this operation. Israel has taken out much of Iran's military leadership and some of its top nuclear scientists and hit nuclear facilities across the country. And it is still going. Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to do whatever it takes in order to prevent a nuclear holocaust. Meanwhile, the X account for Iran's military  has threatened that “our response will be lethal.” And the country's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, has tweeted: “The Zionist regime has prepared for itself a bitter, painful fate, which it will definitely see.” Donald Trump, for his part, is using this as an opening to push Iran into a nuclear deal. This is a historic juncture for the region—not just for the state of Israel, but for the West. So last night, just as the news of these attacks broke, I sat down with former Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Michael Oren and former Israeli prime minister Naftali Bennett to discuss all of it: the strikes, what they accomplished, how Israel defied conventional wisdom and seemed to pull off the impossible, what we can expect in the days ahead, and—perhaps most importantly to many of our listeners—whether or not America is supporting Israel in its efforts.
