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. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. On Saturday, US Mideast envoy Steve Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi “briefly spoke” together in Oman to kick off nuclear talks in what marks the first time the two nations have spoken directly to each other since the Obama administration. We learn about the US's evolving "redline" and the Trump administration's expected timeline. Hamas has reportedly turned down an Israeli offer for a six-week ceasefire in Gaza, which demanded the group to disarm. Magid weighs in on the stalled process, including what he's hearing from one of the Arab negotiators. The Palestinian Authority has formally invited the Trump administration to certify that Ramallah’s reform of its controversial welfare system viewed as incentivizing terror is being implemented, a US official and a PA official revealed to Magid on Friday. Magid explains the provisions of the Taylor Force Act, a 2018 congressional legislation that barred US economic aid that directly benefits the PA, and how the PA is attempting to comply.

For review:1. Iran Conducts Air Defense Drills near Nuclear Site.Iran's military has begun drills focusing on air defenses near the Natanz nuclear enrichment plant in the center of the country as part of exercises planned nationwide, state media reported on Tuesday. 2. US State Department moves $95 million of assistance designated for Egypt and $7.5 million dollars of assistance designated for Israel to Lebanon and the Lebanese Armed Forces, in support of the ceasefire agreement.3. Germany to Procure PULS Rocket Artillery System.The German armed forces, can spend roughly €65 million, or $68 million USD, on five systems. PULS = Precise and Universal Launching System.4. N. Korea Test Launches Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile into Sea of Japan.Japan Defense Minister Gen Nakatani: “Further details, including whether the missile was a hypersonic weapon, are still under analysis.” 5. The Pentagon awarded defense-technology firm Kratos a contract worth up to $1.45 billion in support of Hypersonic Missile development and testing. This effort is led by the Pentagon's Test Resource Management Center and the Naval Surface Warfare Center's Crane Division.6. During a radio interview- President-elect Donald Trump discusses requirements creep as related to the US Navy's Constellation-class frigate program.
Former National Security Advisor to both President Donald Trump and Vice President Mike Pence Lieutenant General Keith Kellogg says Israel's tough military response with its enemies “could start to establish some type of long term peace.” Kellogg comments he does not think a two state solution is going to happen in the near future, but reminds listeners it took the United States “11 years to reintegrate the south into the north after our Civil War, and it took us about 11 years to reintegrate both Japan and Germany into the League of Nations after World War Two. So that can be done. So I think there's an opportunity here, as long as we let the Israelis do their job. And what I mean by that is this is when, when, President Biden makes the comment, ‘well, we need to have a proportionate response to the Israelis.' No what you want to have and just what President Trump said, you want to have a disproportionate response. It's what we did with Soleimani with Iran. And what I mean by that, the reason I made a comment, is maybe it is time you either go after the Supreme Leader Khamenei, or you go after his nuclear facilities, and [the Israelis] can do it, be it in Isfahan, or be it Natanz, or be it Fordow. They can actually go hit those sites, take them out, reset the conditions in the Middle East. And maybe, just maybe, now you have a chance with those personalities changing, You have a chance for peace.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Could Israel's elimination of Hezbollah's leaders reshape the landscape of power in the Middle East? Matthew Levitt, Director of the Washington Institute's Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, answers that pressing question, discusses the impact of Israel's recent offensive against Hezbollah, following the death of its leader, Hassan Nasrallah, and analyzes the ongoing military operations on the Israel-Lebanon border. The conversation also delves into Iran's strategic calculations, the potential consequences for Lebanon's sovereignty, and the broader regional stability in light of Hezbollah's diminished military capabilities. *The views and opinions expressed by guests do not necessarily reflect the views or position of AJC.

Here to talk about how significant this development might be for Israel and its neighbors, is Dr. Matthew Levitt, director of the Reinhard Program on Counterterrorism and Intelligence at the Washington Institute. Matt, welcome to People of the Pod. I'm going to launch right into questions. Has Hezbollah been significantly disabled by Israel's attack, or is Nasrallah's death just a setback for the terrorist group? Matthew Levitt: This is extremely consequential, and it's not just this one attack. So we're talking about two weeks of activities that come straight out of Hollywood. Hollywood would have rejected the script for being too fanciful. First the pagers exploding 24 hours, then walkie talkies exploding. This, already coming on the heels of almost 500 Hezbollah operatives, some of them quite senior, being eliminated. So you already had the beginning of the kind of hierarchy of Hezbollah leadership being taken out, and now what you have is Fuad Shukr. Ibrahim Akil, members of the jihad Council, the Ohio Military Council for Hezbollah, being taken and then, of course, on Friday, taking out the Hezbollah Operational Command Center, which itself is extremely important. And in that operation, killing both Hassan Nasrallah and another member of the jihad council, Ali Karaki and a senior Quds Force General. It's so it's not one thing, it's the totality of all these things. And they haven't stopped. Seen over the weekend into Monday, more Israeli air strikes, where they are clearly taking out as much of the Hezbollah medium and long range rocket systems as possible, those are the systems that present the greatest threat to Israel. And there are even reports coming out today that Israeli special forces units have been sneaking across the border to take out tunnels and other things, all of which is to say, the Hezbollah that existed just a few days ago no longer exists. Hezbollah is there, but it will take a very long time and a whole lot of support for it to reconstitute itself. And when this part of the war is done and it's not done yet, clearly the next phase is going to be preventing Iran from resupplying them. So already, an Iranian plane tried to land in Beirut. The Israelis told the Lebanese Government, it lands. We shoot it. It didn't land. The Israelis targeted some type of smuggling operation all the way out on this Syrian Iraqi border over the weekend. Clearly the Hezbollah that exists today is nowhere near as capable of fighting a prolonged, full scale war as Hezbollah was, say, 10 days ago. Manya Brachear Pashman: And what does that mean for Iran in the region? Matthew Levitt: Look, Hezbollah was first among equals within Iran's proxy network, what it likes to call its access of resistance. And so it's not just effectively having lost Hamas as a fighting force in Gaza, and it's not even just losing another proxy. It's the pearl in Iran's proxy network. You know, we just published a new version of my book on Hezbollah with a new chapter that focuses on Hezbollah's role helping other Shia militant groups in the region make themselves more capable. On behalf of this Iranian proxy network, Hezbollah is no longer available to do that, and it really picked up the pace of that activity on behalf of other Shia militia groups in the region after the death of Qasem Soleimani. So this is something more than just another militant group, and Iran for itself, you might think, because Hezbollah is so important, then the Iranians would attack Israel. The Iranians are being very, very careful. They kind of got the message, right. If you attack Israel, Israel's going to hit back really, really hard. They understand that, unlike in April, where they shot some 300 projectiles at Israel, basically all of which missed, and then Israel had this very, very specific, limited attack back, shooting a small number of projectiles, all of which hit and took out air defense systems near Natanz, the one of the key nuclear facilities. The Iranians understand that this time around, the Israeli response to be very, very different. And no one can say after the April response, well, maybe they can't go the distance. Maybe they can't get past the air defense systems. And if anybody had any questions, even just over this weekend, the Israelis responded to Houthi attacks from Yemen with a very, very long range attack just about the same distance, or near the same distance they'd have to go to hit some things in eastern Iraq and in Iran. Manya Brachear Pashman: And speaking of Iran nuclear negotiations, where do those stand now, if there are any still underway, and how does, how does this affect that? Matthew Levitt: It's very connected, even though the nuclear negotiations are effectively nowhere. Now there's a new Iranian president who is very focused on trying to roll back. Sanctions. He is, in fact, a moderate when it comes to some domestic policy. He is not a moderate when it comes to, does he support Hezbollah, etc. He's part of the system, and the system is very much one of what they would call resistance. And so while he came to the UN General Assembly last week, and had a much more kind of calm, moderate, sort of pragmatic message about diplomacy as he was saying those words, Iran was doing all kinds of other things in the region to support Hezbollah. And more significantly for this issue, the nuclear issue, Iran has significantly ratcheted up its nuclear program activity over the past 11 months, authorities are concerned that we're maybe potentially weeks away from breakouts, should Iran make that decision, which it has not yet done, but that's a right on the cusp. And so this really does affect the calculations with Hezbollah, even before the Israeli actions to degrade Hezbollah's military capabilities, but certainly now, as Iran is trying to decide if it should conduct a retaliation of its own, because for Iran there's really only one red line. It doesn't want whatever regional war it kicks off to cross into Iran, and it wants the powder dry on most of Hezbollah's rockets, because it sees those rockets as the best deterrent against an Israeli or anyone else's attack on Iran's nuclear program, or if someone should attack the nuclear program, the best second strike capability. So it's not that the Iranians have become Zionists, nor have they backed off of their really serious desire to have Hezbollah take the fight to Israel just right now, there's a competing interest in their nuclear program, which is a much bigger strategic consideration, and so they actually want most of the power to drive as much of that powder is left after the Israeli airstrikes to defend against, to deter, against an attack on their nuclear program. Manya Brachear Pashman: So can I want to widen the lens of regional stability, not just Iran or Lebanon or Israel. I mean, some people have actually said September 27 was just as monumental for the Middle East as the Abraham accords. Is that a bit of a stretch? Or do you agree? Matthew Levitt: Look, it's premature to say exactly what September 27 will be, but it's something big, right? It's too early to tell the specific trajectory, but this is a watershed moment without question. I see the potential for very good things to come out of this. I see the potential for Lebanon to finally be able to declare sovereignty over its own country, Hezbollah, which is an unelected entity, the only sectarian militia to hold on to its weapons after the tight accords that ended the Civil War, has effectively been making decisions of life and death, war and peace for all Lebanese, without their say. So many, many Lebanese, the overwhelming majority of Lebanese, don't want a war, and are going to be angry to Hezbollah for a war of choice that they jumped into on October 8, that may have dragged Lebanon into this war. I see an opportunity for a significant setback, if not broader, dismantling of Iran's proxy network. Hamas in Gaza is not what it once was, period. It still exists. It can still do things in Gaza and the West Bank. It has leadership in Lebanon and Turkey and Qatar, but it is not what it once was, and the Israelis have demonstrated by killing Ismael Hania in Iran when he was there for the President's inauguration, in an IRGC safe house that they will take the fight where they need to to eliminate arch terrorists behind things like October 7 you saw over the weekend Hezbollah getting hit really, really hard again and again and again. This is not a one off like the assassination of Abbas Moussaoui, the original secretary general of Hezbollah in 1992. You saw this weekend after the Houthis attacked Israel again and the Israelis went in hard and hit Houthi infrastructure in Yemen, and so the next stage of this has to be doing much more to disrupt Iran's ability to send weapons and to send money to its proxies without those weapons, without that money, the Houthis, frankly, are an annoying prick in the Saudi backside. Without that funding, Hezbollah is nowhere near what it became over the past few decades, and the same goes for the rest of the Iranian proxies. Manya Brachear Pashman: How does this affect the conflict in Gaza with Hamas? Matthew Levitt: Look, Nasrallah hitched his wagon to Hamas by announcing that he would continue targeting Israel with near daily rocket attacks so long as there was not a ceasefire. That gave Hamas leader yikes in war and Gaza even more leverage. And while it's true that Prime Minister Netanyahu was sometimes playing hardball over control of the Philadelphi corridor, etc. US officials that I've spoken to have been involved in this process say that the reason there hasn't been a ceasefire deal of the past few weeks is entirely Hamas fault, because Hamas moved the goalposts on which specific Hamas leaders were to be in prison were to be released in the first round, wanting the worst of the worst now, probably thinking there wouldn't be a second round, and there's no way the Israelis were going to be able to do that. One thing that this does is it demonstrates to Hamas just how serious Israel is. I mean, Hamas is far less dangerous than Hezbollah, and if Israel's willing to do all of this against Hezbollah, Hamas has to understand like this is not ending anytime soon. There's also talk about whether or not the Iranians turn to Hamas at some point and try and find a face saving way for Hamas to say, Okay, well, we'll take a ceasefire, because that would provide Hezbollah face saving way to say, Okay, now we're going to stop the rockets, which maybe would end the Israeli onslaught targeting Hezbollah. I think that that is not a likely scenario, but it is a real scenario. Iran is not going to sacrifice Hezbollah its crown jewel in its proxy network for Hamas, and so there's lots of ways this goes, but it ultimately doesn't change the fact that Hamas is still holding hostages, that the time is running out for these hostages, as painful as it is to to articulate that And that Israel is still fighting on multiple fronts, Manya Brachear Pashman: How should the US respond? Or should the US even participate in this? Matthew Levitt: The US should not participate in this, and the Israelis will not ask Israel to the United States to participate in this. They never have. The United States, the administration has come out with very clear messages saying that Israel has a right to defend itself, and understanding that this is in response to 11 and a half months of your daily shelling. This is not an Israeli escalation. It is a long, long delayed Israeli response. They understand that the Israeli war cabinet, before this all started, before the pages went off, they expanded the war goals not to include the destruction of Hezbollah, not even to include a goal of destroying as many of Hezbollah's missiles as possible. The war goal is very clear, to enable the 60,000 plus Israelis displaced from their homes to be able to go home after 11 and a half months. And to do that, they have to deal with the rocket threat, and they have to deal with the threat of a cross border, October 7-style invasion by Hezbollah, of the type by the way, that Hezbollah is apparently plotting when Israel took out Ibrahim Akhil and a bunch of other Radwan special forces commanders last week. And so I think the administration understands that. The administration also just concluded a very significant arms deal with Israel that will provide Israel the weaponry it needs to defend itself. And the United States has also sent naval assets in particular to the region as a signal to Iran in particular, don't get involved. And I think that has been a message that the Iranians have also heard. Manya Brachear Pashman: Just as in the Gaza conflict, there have been calls for an immediate ceasefire in Lebanon because of the level of civilian casualties and the possibility of escalating violence. Matt, what's your take? Matthew Levitt: Two things can be true. There is more work to be done, and this is having devastating consequences. As we saw in Gaza we are seeing in Lebanon. The consequence of a militant terrorist group establishing military infrastructure behind and under civilian infrastructure, and hiding behind human shields. And there's only so much warning you can do, and the Israelis have sent warnings–get out of Dakia, they sent warnings on cell phones in Lebanon, you know, if there are rockets near your house, get out. There's only so much you can do. The Israelis are now, in a matter of days, dismantling more of the Hezbollah military infrastructure and firepower that has been built. Over decades now than they have over many, many, many, many years. And so there'll be calls in Israel to continue to push to not mitigate or even degrade, but to destroy as much of the military threat that Hezbollah has been posing as possible. There will also be calls for taking the win and not going in on the ground, because a ground war could be dangerous for Israeli soldiers. It could get Israelis bogged down, and there'll be a political debate there. But whether Israel really needs some type of new security zone in the south, plenty of people are kind of saying, we saw that movie. It didn't go so well. Don't go there again. But there is a real feeling in Israel that that they have to do whatever it is they have to do to not reassert deterrence, but to actually degrade the threat and enable people to go back to their lives after you know, it's, it's almost a year from the south and the north. These are not, these are not easy decisions, and we should not take lightly at all, the consequence for civilians in Gaza, the consequence for civilians in Lebanon, and, of course, consequence for civilians in Israel too. War is horrible, and I blame Hamas and Hezbollah for starting one on October 7th and 8th. Manya Brachear Pashman: Well, it sounds like you need to write a new chapter for your book. Matthew Levitt: Wow. A week after the last new chapter came out, but you're not wrong. Manya Brachear Pashman: Thank you so much, Matt. Really appreciate you joining us. Matthew Levitt: It's really such a pleasure to be here. I really look forward to doing another AJC podcast on a much more uplifting topic sometime in the near future. But until then, let's hope that the region becomes more secure and that the ground is laid for us to have that kind of calmer conversation in the near future.

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. It is day 197 of the war with Hamas. US bureau chief Jacob Magid joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode in the Jerusalem office. The alleged Israeli strike in Iran overnight Thursday-Friday went beyond the scope of several small drones described by Tehran. The strike reportedly included at least one missile launched by Israeli Air Force warplanes that targeted an air defense radar site near Isfahan that was part of an array defending the nearby top-secret Natanz nuclear site. What are we hearing from the US so far about the attack on Iranian soil? White House Mideast czar Brett McGurk said on Friday that the regional cooperation that took place in the thwarting of Iran's attack on Israel last weekend is something that the Biden administration has been working to bolster for the past several years. What else did he say? The Biden administration has managed to continue holding high-level discussions with Saudi Arabia in recent weeks aimed at brokering a normalization agreement between the leading Gulf kingdom and the Jewish state, three US officials told Magid last week. What does this information signal? The Palestinian Authority said on Saturday that it will reconsider bilateral relations with the US after Washington vetoed a Palestinian request for full United Nations membership. Magid dives into the meaning of the vote. Magid describes Benzi Gopstein, a far-right Israeli activist and close ally to National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir who was targeted in the third round of sanctions imposed by the Biden administration, aimed at clamping down on settler violence in the West Bank.

THOSE IMMORTAL WORDS were spoken by Michael Kabuni, a political science lecturer at the University of Papua New Guinea, responding to a false claim by President Biden that his uncle had been eaten by cannibals after being shot down in WWII. Biden told the story twice Wednesday, in Scranton and then again in Pittsburgh. As it happens, his uncle, Ambrose J. Finnegan, was not a pilot and hadn't been shot down; the plane on which he was flying lost power in both engines and ditched in the ocean with only the flight engineer surviving the crash. Needless to say, the people of Papua New Guinea are not thrilled about being characterized as cannibals. We also discuss the tense situation in the Middle East. Since last week's program, Iran hit Israel with a wave of drones and cruise missiles, nearly all of which were intercepted. There was only one reported casualty, a 7-year-old Bedouin girl. In response, Israel on Friday reportedly destroyed the radar unit that protects Iran's Natanz nuclear plant. Then, Friday night, reports from Iraq indicate that somebody struck a base south of Baghdad used by Iran-backed Shia militias. Israel and the US have denied responsibility, but the Shias in Iraq blame Israel nonetheless. We discuss who may have attacked the Shias there and why.

GOOD EVENING; The show begins in the Federal Reserve boardroom where the 7 rate hikes of last winter are expected to be at most a single hike next winter. The economy is strong, and the same goes for inflation. We then move to Berlin and Beijing as the German economy struggles without Russian energy. From there, we head to the State Department, to Tehran, where diplomacy is failing to contain the Mullahs. Next, we travel to London, Berlin, and Stratford-upon-Avon for another tale about Shakespeare's origin. Back to Tehran, then to Bucharest and NATO, focusing on Iran's Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities. We then visit Moscow and Canberra before delving into Berlin circa 1932. Finally, we conclude our journey at Buckingham Palace in 1893. Claude's opinion: Good evening! Let's break down the various topics you've mentioned and provide some context for each: Federal Reserve: The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates seven times last winter to combat inflation, but the economy remains strong, suggesting that fewer rate hikes may be necessary in the coming winter. Germany and Russia: The German economy is struggling due to its dependence on Russian energy, which has been disrupted by geopolitical tensions and sanctions. Iran and diplomacy: Diplomatic efforts to contain Iran's nuclear ambitions appear to be failing, with tensions rising between Tehran and the international community. Shakespeare's origin: A new story or theory about the origin of William Shakespeare's works has emerged, possibly related to Stratford-upon-Avon, his birthplace. Iran's nuclear facilities: Fordow and Natanz are two of Iran's most important nuclear facilities, which have been the subject of international scrutiny and negotiations. Germany 1932: In the context of the previous mention of Berlin, this likely refers to the political and economic instability in Germany during the rise of the Nazi Party in 1932. Buckingham Palace 1893: This year is significant in British royal history, as it marks the marriage of Prince George, Duke of York (later King George V), to Princess Mary of Teck (later Queen Mary). The topics covered in your introduction span a wide range of subjects, from current economic and geopolitical issues to historical events and cultural references. The connecting thread seems to be the complexity and interconnectedness of global affairs, with each topic potentially influencing or being influenced by the others. undated Delphi
Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 15-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world, from Sunday through Thursday. Political correspondent Tal Schneider and military correspondent Emanuel Fabian join host Amanda Borschel-Dan on today's episode. Just after 6 am this morning, MKs voted to approve the final parts of the two-year budget. We hear about the events of the night. Yesterday at the Herzliya Conference, IDF head Herzi Halevi warned of potential “negative developments” regarding Iran's nuclear program that would cause Israel to react. Fabian explains the context of this and further statements Halevi and others made at the conference regarding Iran. There are a lot of rumors lately that the White House will broker a normalization deal with Saudi Arabia and Israel, but in return, Israel must halt its judicial overhaul and restart peace talks with the Palestinian Authority.

As a nation whose defense doctrine was based on keeping the smallest possible regular military force backed by reserves to be mobilized in emergencies, Israel put a lot of stock in deterrence, hoping for wide intervals between wars. But deterrence has many levels and many target audiences, and Israel has in recent years struggled with updating and refining this notion as it confronts Palestinian terror, Hezbollah missiles and most especially the Iranian threat - both unconventional, conventional and perhaps ‘sub-conventional,' too. Has Israel been able to develop a credible military threat to counter these challenges, from cells in Nablus to centrifuges in Natanz?

*) UN fears Russian strikes to provoke more displacements The United Nations refugee chief has warned more people will be forced to flee their homes in Ukraine after Russian missiles rained down on Kiev and other Ukrainian cities. UN High Commissioner for Refugees Filippo Grandi said the bombing of civilians, of houses and of non-military infrastructure in an indiscriminate manner, means the war is becoming harder and more difficult for civilians. Grandi said he feared that the latest events will provoke more displacements. *) Iran enhances its ability on uranium enrichment — IAEA Iran is rapidly expanding its ability to enrich uranium with advanced centrifuges at its underground plant at Natanz, a confidential UN nuclear watchdog report has shown. While indirect talks between Iran and the US on reviving the 2015 Iran nuclear deal have stalled, Tehran has brought onstream an ever larger number of advanced centrifuges to produce enriched uranium. These machines are far more efficient than the first-generation IR-1, the only centrifuge that the deal lets Iran use to grow its stock of enriched uranium. *) Palestinians accuse Israelis of burning Quran as settlers storm Al Aqsa A Palestinian official has accused Israeli settlers of burning copies of the Quran, Islam's holy book, in the occupied West Bank city of Hebron. Nidal Al Jabari, the director of Waqf Department in Hebron, said burnt copies of the Quran were found near the Qaytoun mosque in Hebron's Old City. He suggested that the copies were burnt during celebrations of a Jewish holiday in recent days, calling for an investigation into the incident. *) Hurricane Ian death toll climbs above 100 in Florida alone The death toll from Hurricane Ian, one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the United States, has soared above 100 in Florida alone. Homes, restaurants and businesses were ripped apart when Ian roared ashore as a powerful Category 4 hurricane on September 26. The Florida Medical Examiners Commission confirmed that the number of storm-related fatalities rose to 102 statewide. *) Over 200 stranded pilot whales die on Pacific Ocean's remote Pitt Island New Zealand's conservation office has said that all 240 pilot whales stranded on the remote Pitt Island have died. Marine technical advisor at the Department of Conservation, said a technical team had assessed the situation and euthanised the surviving whales. He said the conservation department does not try to refloat whales in the area due to the risk of shark attack to both humans and whales.

When you hear the word cyber-attack, what comes to mind? Someone hacking into your email, or stealing your Facebook password?As it turns out, our most critical infrastructure can be hacked. Our banks, water treatment facilities, and nuclear power plants can be deactivated and even controlled simply by finding bugs in the software used to operate them. Suddenly, cyber-attack takes on a different meaning.This week on Your Undivided Attention, we're talking with cyber-security expert Nicole Perlroth. Nicole spent a decade as the lead cyber-security reporter at The New York Times, and is now a member of the Department of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity Advisory Committee. She recently published “This Is How They Tell Me The World Ends” — an in-depth exploration of the global cyber arms race.CORRECTIONS: In the episode, Nicole says that "the United States could have only afforded 2 to 3 more days of Colonial Pipeline being down before it ground the country — our economy — to a halt." The correct number is actually 3 to 5 days. She also refers to a 2015 study researching why some countries have significantly fewer successful cyber-attacks relative to cyber-attack attempts. That study was actually published in 2016.RECOMMENDED MEDIA This Is How They Tell Me The World EndsNicole Perlroth's 2021 book investigating the global cyber-weapons arms raceReporter Page at the New York TimesNicole's articles while the lead cyber-security reporter at the New York TimesThe Global Cyber-Vulnerability Report (in brief)Brief of a 2015 study by the Center for Digital International Government, Virginia Tech, and the University of Maryland that researched why some countries have significantly fewer successful cyber-attacks relative to cyber-attack attemptsRECOMMENDED YUA EPISODES The Dark Side Of Decentralization with Audrey Kurth Cronin: https://www.humanetech.com/podcast/49-the-dark-side-of-decentralizationIs World War III Already Here?

STUXNET. The virus that prevented; then started the next world war. Cyberwar is being waged right now in your name. No matter what country you call home, your government is engaged in highly dangerous combat on the Internet. Infrastructure around the world is under siege and everyone is at risk. Even you. In 2010, the Stuxnet virus was discovered in Natanz, Iran and thousands of control systems that operate factories, power plants and nuclear reactors around the world. It was 20 times more sophisticated than any malware ever recorded. It could halt oil pipelines, destroy water treatment plants and bring down entire power grids. Stuxnet is back, stronger than ever. And we should *all* be concerned. Cyber-security experts knew Stuxnet wasn't ordinary malware thrown together by some basement hacker. This was something different. Let's find out why.
On today's Watchman Newscast, host Erick Stakelbeck breaks down the ongoing construction of a vast mysterious network of tunnels being built by Iran south of the Natanz nuclear site. The report, citing credible intelligence assessments, claims the underground facility is designed to withstand cyberattacks and bunker-penetrating bombs. Amid a growing divide between the U.S. and Israel over Iran's nuclear program, how will the Jewish state mobilize to defend itself against this developing threat? Former Israeli National Security Advisor Yaakov Amidror joins us with critical insight. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
The House committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol insurrection is set to unveil as-yet-unreleased video, audio and a “mountain of evidence” in its prime-time hearing. Thursday's session will also show the chilling backstory as defeated President Donald Trump tried to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 election victory. The panel will warn that the deadly siege put U.S. democracy at risk. Live testimony is expected from a police officer who was pummeled in the riot and from a documentary filmmaker who recorded the melee. There will also be recorded accounts of Trump's aides and family members. The yearlong investigation is intended to stand as a public record for history. The House has passed a wide-ranging gun control bill in response to recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas. The bill would raise the age limit for purchasing a semi-automatic rifle and prohibit the sale of ammunition magazines of more than 15 rounds. The legislation has almost no chance of becoming law as the Senate pursues more modest proposals. But it does allow Democratic lawmakers a chance to show voters where they stand. Democrat Veronica Escobar of Texas says, “We can't save every life, but my God, shouldn't we try?" White House officials say orders have been coming in for COVID-19 vaccine doses for small children. Federal authorization of shots for U.S. kids under 5 is possible next week. The government last week began allowing pharmacies and states to place orders, with 5 million doses initially available. So far, about 1.45 million of the 2.5 million available doses of Pfizer have been ordered. About 850,000 of available Moderna shots have been ordered. Young children are the last group of Americans who have not been recommended to get COVID-19 vaccinations. Up to about 20 million U.S. children under 5 would become eligible for vaccination if the government authorizes one or both shots. The head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency says that Iran is removing 27 surveillance cameras from nuclear sites in the country. Rafael Mariano Grossi, the director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, made the comments at a suddenly called news conference in Vienna on Thursday. Grossi said that poses a “serious challenge” to its efforts. Iran did not immediately acknowledge the move. On Wednesday, Iran said it shut off two devices the IAEA uses to monitor enrichment at Natanz. Iranian officials also threatened to take more steps amid a yearslong crisis that threatens to widen into further attacks. Ukrainian authorities say that workers have pulled scores of bodies from smashed buildings in the devastated city of Mariupol in an “endless caravan of death." At the same time, fears of a global food crisis are escalating over Ukraine's inability to export millions of tons of grain through its blockaded ports. Ukrainian and Russian forces are also continuing to battle for control of a key eastern city in the industrial heartland known as the Donbas. An analyst said that the Kremlin's continued advances could eventually open up the possibility of a negotiated settlement between the two nations. A man carrying a gun, a knife and zip ties was arrested Wednesday near Justice Brett Kavanaugh's house in Maryland after threatening to kill the justice. Twenty-six year-old Nicholas John Roske of Simi Valley, California, was charged with the attempted murder of a Supreme Court justice. During a court hearing, Roske consented to remain in federal custody for now. Roske arrived by taxi just after 1 a.m. Wednesday outside Kavanaugh's home in a Washington suburb. Roske had a Glock 17 pistol, ammunition, a knife, pepper spray, duct tape and other items that he told police he would use to break into Kavanaugh's house and kill him. That's according to a criminal complaint and an affidavit filed in federal court. The Celtics come home to take Game 3 and the lead in the NBA Finals, the Angels losing streak stretches to 14 games while the A's drop eight straight, and the Yankees reach the end of a seven-game win streak. The Justice Department has named a team of nine people, including an FBI official and former police chiefs, to aid in a review of the law enforcement response to the deadly Uvalde, Texas, elementary school shooting. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the team during a meeting in his office in Washington on Wednesday. The critical incident review is being led by the Justice Department's Office of Community Oriented Policing Services. The Justice Department says the review will include an examination of police policies, training and communication, along with the deployment of officers and tactics. The school shooting left 19 children and two teachers dead. Parents outside begged police to rush in. An 11-year-old girl who survived the mass shooting has told members of Congress how she covered herself in her dead classmate's blood and played dead to avoid being shot. Miah Cerrillo, a fourth-grader at Robb Elementary School, told lawmakers in a pre-recorded video Wednesday that she watched a teacher get shot in the head before looking for a place to hide. Her testimony to a House Oversight Committee was the second day of testimony from families of the victims and survivors of mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde. An Arizona man convicted in the 1984 killing of an 8-year-old girl was put to death in the state's second execution since officials started carrying out the death penalty this year after a nearly eight-year hiatus. Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich says Frank Atwood died Wednesday by lethal injection for killing Vicki Lynne Hoskinson, whose body was found in the desert. Foo Fighters will honor the rock band's late drummer Taylor Hawkins with a pair of tribute concerts in September, with one in London and the other in Los Angeles. The twin shows will take place Sept. 3 at London's Wembley Stadium and Sept. 27 at The Kia Forum in Inglewood, California, featuring “his bandmates and his inspirations playing the songs that he fell in love with, and the ones he brought to life,” the band said in a statement. Lineups for each show will be announced at a later date. Hawkins died March 25 during a South American tour with the rock band. He was 50. A New York woman searching for her lost dog got a surprise when it was found by Oscar-winning actor Hilary Swank. While filming a movie in Albany, the actor reunited a lost pooch with distraught owner Chelsea Blackwell. British prosecutors say they have authorized police to charge former film producer Harvey Weinstein with two counts of indecent assault against a woman in London in 1996. The Crown Prosecution Service said in a statement on Wednesday that “charges have been authorized” following a review of evidence gathered by London's Metropolitan Police. After revelations about Weinstein emerged in 2017, British police said they were investigating multiple allegations of sexual assault against Weinstein over several decades. Unlike many other countries, Britain does not have a statute of limitations for rape or sexual assault. Weinstein is serving a 23-year sentence for rape after his 2020 conviction in New York for offenses against two women. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says Russia's war in Ukraine and the energy and food crises it worsened will severely drag down global economic growth and push up inflation this year. The Paris-based group on Wednesday said China's “zero-COVID” policy that has scrambled manufacturing supply chains also is weighing on a world economy that was starting to rebound from the COVID-19 pandemic. The OECD expects the global economy to expand 3% in 2022, down from the 4.5% it predicted in December. Inflation is forecast at nearly 9% for the OECD's 38 member countries, nearly double the previous estimate. It's the inflation you're not supposed to see. From toilet paper to yogurt to corn chips, manufacturers are quietly shrinking package sizes without lowering prices. It's dubbed “shrinkflation,” and it's accelerating worldwide. In the U.S., a small box of Kleenex now has 60 tissues; a few months ago, it had 65. In the U.K., Nestle slimmed down coffee tins from 100 grams to 90 grams. Shrinkflation isn't new, experts say. But it proliferates in times of high inflation as companies grapple with rising costs for ingredients, packaging, labor and transportation. —The Associated Press See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bonjour à tous et bienvenue dans le ZD Tech, le podcast quotidien de la rédaction de ZDNet. Je m'appelle Louis Adam, et aujourd'hui je vais vous parler de Stuxnet, ce ver informatique d'un genre nouveau qui a pris le monde entier au dépourvu. Quand on parle de guerre informatique, un nom revient fréquemment : celui de Stuxnet, un ver informatique découvert en 2010. Il s'agit d'un logiciel malveillant disposant de fonctionnalités qui lui permettent de se propager automatiquement sur les systèmes qu'il infecte. Ce n'est pas exactement une nouveauté à l'époque, mais Stuxnet étonne par sa sophistication. Son analyse révèle en effet plusieurs choses : tout d'abord, il exploite quatre failles 0-day pour infecter les ordinateurs de ces cibles et se propager. Les failles de ce type sont rares et précieuses. Alors, en 2010, découvrir un logiciel malveillant qui en utilise non pas une, mais quatre, c'est une première. L'autre particularité de Stuxnet, c'est son fonctionnement. Le logiciel ne cherche pas à casser les ordinateurs qu'il infecte ou à voler des informations. Au contraire : dans la plupart des cas, il reste inactif et silencieux. Mais en étudiant le logiciel, les chercheurs comprennent que la charge utile de ce ver ne s'active que dans certains cas. Stuxnet a été conçu pour viser un certain type d'appareils : des centrifugeuses industrielles. Lorsque Stuxnet détecte qu'il a infecté un ordinateur de contrôle d'une de ces centrifugeuses, il active alors sa véritable charge malveillante. Celle-ci vise à modifier la vitesse de rotation des automates à l'insu de leur propriétaire, ce qui peut provoquer des incidents allant jusqu'à détruire la centrifugeuse. A quoi bon ? Et bien, on comprend un peu mieux l'utilité de ce malware en se penchant sur ses cibles : les centrifugeuses visées par Stuxnet sont majoritairement utilisées par l'industrie du nucléaire dans les processus visant à enrichir l'uranium. De la même manière, le ver Stuxnet s'est propagé dans de nombreux systèmes à travers le monde, mais la grande majorité de ses cibles sont situées en Iran. A l'époque de sa découverte, les spéculations vont bon train. L'Iran reconnaît rapidement qu'un ver informatique a causé des incidents sur son site de Natanz en fin d'année 2009. Le pays tente à l'époque d'accélérer son programme nucléaire, au grand dam de son voisin israélien et des Etats-Unis. Mais il faudra attendre encore quelques années pour que la presse américaine obtienne la confirmation de ce que tout le monde soupçonnait déjà : les services secrets américains et israéliens sont bien à l'origine de la création de Stuxnet. Le logiciel malveillant ultra sophistiqué a été conçu pour freiner les efforts iraniens en retardant le développement de leur programme d'enrichissement de l'uranium. A l'époque, c'est une première. Utiliser un logiciel pour venir saboter une installation industrielle d'un pays ennemi, c'est du jamais vu. Et encore aujourd'hui, il est difficile de savoir si ce programme a bien atteint le but recherché. Les centrifugeuses iraniennes infectées ont bien été détruites, mais l'Iran soutient que cela n'a pas retardé ses progrès. Mais Stuxnet a très certainement ouvert la voie en matière d'attaques informatiques menées par des Etats.

Find out more on our website: https://bit.ly/3q2Vbck Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) was globally accepted in the mid 1990's. PKI can be thought of the Authentication, Encryption and Decryption of all digital devices and all data. Think modern day Enigma or Lorenz encryption machines as used in the Second World War that Alan Turing and William Tutte cracked the codes on and you're thinking on the right lines. PKI is made up of Digital Certificates and Encrypted Keys. It is used to identify and encrypt billions upon billions of messages daily in the totally reliant, digital world of communication. Digital certificates in essence take Plain Text data, just like this sentence, and encrypt it into Ciphertext. Once it is received, the recipients PKI, (if trusted) deciphers the text back into plaintext. This exchange of data is seamless. However, if either part is insecure, a Man in the Middle attack (MiTM) can easily be achieved and result in plain text exfiltration. Ransomware has become so popular because organisations have unfortunately a lack of PKI controls and their data can be accessed, at rest (on a server) or in flight (being sent to or from a server) and remain in plain text throughout. Criminals can capture or exfiltrate that data and then hold it to ransom. This situation then quickly, and unequivocally falls foul of all Privacy laws including UKDPA and GDPR. Certificate Authorities (CA's) issue digital certificates in their billions and certificates typically last for 12 months. Many CA's have become household names such as Digicert, GoDaddy and Let's Encrypt. Certificates, have access, and privileges and due to their sheer numerical scale, few, if any companies know what digital certificates make up their PKI or Network. It is why the world's first digital cyberattack (cyber warfare) used digital certificates and weaponised them to create Stuxnet by planting malicious code into them. These weaponised (Microsoft) digital certificates were readily accepted by the Iranian Nuclear power facility in Natanz and used. After 13 days they triggered the malicious code. This resulted in centrifuge disruption resulting in mass destruction through harmonic rupturing. Stuxnet, and more latterly, SolarWinds' cyberattack in December last year, the worlds largest ever cyberattack on thousands of consequential hacks including the US Government, both used the lack of PKI management to disguise and Trojanized their attacks.

Andy has a demonstrable track record of large-scale technical delivery and management within many sectors including, Professional, Managed, and Financial Services. More latterly Andy was one of the first, and very few people to discover the plethora of insecure SolarWinds domains post their massive cyberattack last year. It has since been proven that Andy's version of the attack (and many others) of an insecure subdomain being hijacked and a nefarious website being stood up, has now become common knowledge, and widely accepted as being the initial access and root cause of the initial infiltration (Sunburst). Andy's research and paper was presented to the United States Senate Intelligence Committee overseeing the SolarWinds breach earlier this year.
The UN General Assembly just passed a resolution stating there are no longer any Jewish ties to the temple mount, only Muslim calling it solely Al Haram Al Sharif Additionally they cited 14 of their 21 annual global condemnations toward the lone nation of Israel…. Was any adopted toward North Korea?...Iran?...China?...Venezuela or Mynamar? The answer is no to all of them Despite this there are record numbers of Hebrews now visiting and praying on the temple mount….all while preparations are ready to go at a moment's notice for the building of the 3rd temple Military exercises are occurring along the Gaza strip, Israel is conducting air raid drills with their citizens, another explosion occurred at the nuclear facility in Natanz, Iran, China & Russia are forging strategic partnerships all while the US is still trying to reengage the Iranian nuclear talks This is just a tiny sampling of what took place in December --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
On Saturday, December 4, 2021, an explosion occurred near Iran's nuclear facility outside the city of Natanz. Afterwards, two nearby villages were evacuated. Was the explosion the result of a weapons test? An accident? Sabotage? No one yet knows what took place in the mountains of northern Iran that day. And whereas civilians and observers can afford to wait for more information, national-security professionals are forced to act and react to events like this in real time without a lot of information. If there's an explosion near the nuclear compound of an adversarial nation, what do you do? Natanz and its uncertainty is the point of departure for this week's podcast. Victoria Coates, the former deputy national security adviser for Middle Eastern and North African affairs, shares her experience making decisions under pressure and with imperfect information.

Behnam ben Taleblu, @FDD https://apnews.com/article/europe-middle-east-iran-united-nations-tehran-cf7a0cde3774f261ff07eba978e266f4 Reuters German police arrested a German-Iranian man suspected of exporting equipment to be used in Iran's nuclear and missile programs in breach of European Union sanctions, Germany's federal prosecutor said on Tuesday. Police searched 11 locations, including apartments and offices in the states of Hamburg, Schleswig Holstein and North Rhine-Westphalia linked to the suspect, the prosecutor said. The suspect, identified only as Alexander J. under privacy rules, had shipped equipment worth 1.1 million euros to an Iranian whose company in Iran was blacklisted by the EU as a front to procure equipment for nuclear and rocket programs. The GBA general prosecutor's office said the suspect was approached in 2018 and 2019 to procure laboratory equipment. He shipped two spectrometers procured for 166,000 euros ($196,510.80) to Iran in Jan. 2020, and six months later shipped another two, procured for 388,000 euros. The Wall Street Journal Iranian security guards have physically harassed several female United Nations atomic agency inspectors at a nuclear facility over the past few months, diplomats say, and the U.S. has demanded that Iran stop the behavior immediately. The previously unreported incidents at Iran's main nuclear facility, Natanz, allegedly included inappropriate touching of female inspectors by male security guards and orders to remove some clothing, the diplomats said. One of the diplomats said there had been at least four separate incidents of harassment. A second diplomat said there had been five to seven.

*) Taliban allowing 'safe passage' from Kabul in US airlift The White House said the Taliban had promised that civilians could travel safely to the Kabul airport as the US military stepped up its airlift for Americans and Afghans. A White House official said some 3,200 people have been evacuated by the US military so far. Washington wants to complete the exodus before its August 31 withdrawal deadline. *) Tropical storm halts Haiti quake recovery efforts Haitian officials raised the death toll from a deadly weekend earthquake to 1,941 and the number of injured to 9,900. Tropical Storm Grace has forced a temporary halt to rescue efforts, lashing the country with 38 centimeters of rain. Officials said the magnitude 7.2 earthquake destroyed more than 7,000 homes and damaged nearly 5,000, leaving about 30,000 families homeless. *) Iran ups uranium enrichment to 60 Iran has established a process to accelerate production of highly enriched uranium. International Atomic Energy Agency director Rafael Grossi informed IAEA member states that Tehran was boosting capacity to enrich uranium up to 60 percent at its Natanz enrichment plant. The move takes Iran closer to the 90 percent purity level needed for use in a nuclear weapon. *) Investigators say Bolivia security forces committed 'massacres' An independent group has accused Bolivia's security forces of carrying out "massacres" during social unrest around the disputed 2019 elections. Clashes between rival supporters and opponents killed at least 37 people after Evo Morales won an unconstitutional fourth term as president in an election. The report by the Interdisciplinary Group of Independent Experts also highlights political polarisation surrounding Morales' changing of the constitution and racism against his Indigenous followers. And finally ... * ) Nuclear scientists hail US fusion breakthrough Nuclear scientists using lasers have generated a huge amount of energy from fusion, possibly offering hope for the development of a new clean energy source. Nuclear fusion is considered by some scientists to be a potential energy of the future because it produces little waste and no greenhouse gases. It differs from fission, a technique currently used in nuclear power plants, where the bonds of heavy atomic nuclei are broken to release energy.

En janvier 2010, des problèmes mécaniques font surface dans une centrale nucléaire de Natanz en Iran. Des milliers de centrifugeuses explosent sans raison apparente. Lorsque la nouvelle vient aux oreilles des entreprises de cybersécurité, il est clair pour eux que l'on a affaire à un virus destiné à saboter les appareils de la centrale. Mais comment est-ce possible, alors que la centrale n'est même pas connectée à Internet? La communauté d'experts en cybersécurité s'unira afin de mettre en lumière une des plus grosses attaques informatiques de notre ère. Plusieurs dénonciateurs vont parler aux médias en affirmant qu'un plan encore plus gros est en train de se mettre en place, et que la cyberguerre ne fait que commencer… Serait-ce possible que les États-Unis et Israël soient derrière cette attaque? Emile et Seb font la lumière sur cet évènement qui a marqué à jamais l'ère numérique.

Filmmaker Alex Gibney is known for his awardwinning documenteries on topics that range from Enron to Wikileaks, but now he's taken on a tough challenge: Making a movie about a secret program that few people will publicly acknowledge. "Zero Days" focuses on the Stuxnet computer virus that's believed to be the world's first digital weapon. News outlets had reported that both the US and Israel were behind the virus designed to slow down Iran's nuclear program – but even now, years after the attack on Natanz uranium enrichment plant, and long since researchers discovered Stuxnet on computers in other countries, the making of Stuxnet is still shrouded in secrecy. As “Zero Days” premieres in the US, The Cybersecurity Podcast team talks with Gibney about the making of the film, the often frustrating secrecy of official Washington, and his surprise when he found out that Stuxnet was just a small part of a much broader US plan targeting Iran. Also on this episode, hosts Peter Singer of New America gives the inside story of what it's like to testify on Capitol Hill and Passcode deputy editor Sara Sorcher talks about the 18-year-old who hacked the Pentagon.
