The same Democrats who turned a blind eye when Obama dropped 26,000 bombs in a single year are now clutching their pearls over Trump's targeted strike on Iran. Hanson breaks this down on today's episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “  Barack Obama, in the single year, 2016, he dropped 26,000 bombs. And it wasn't just in Syria. It wasn't just in Iraq. It wasn't just in Afghanistan. He dropped them in Libya. He dropped them in Somalia. He dropped them in Yemen. 26,000 bombs. And they all had one thing in common. He didn't think he had to go to the Congress to ask permission. “ All they're doing is saying, 'If Donald Trump does something, we are going to be irate. We're going to use pornography. We're going to use smuddy language. And we're going to oppose him. And now, we're going to impeach him.' And some people in that party said, 'This is so unhinged. It's so contradictory. It's so paradoxical. It's so hypocritical.'”

Nestled in the Horn of Africa on the easternmost part of the African continent is a small country called Djibouti. It's bordered by three other countries: Eritrea to the north, Ethiopia to the west, and Somalia to the south. Djibouti's eastern border abuts the busy shipping lanes of the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden. These bodies of water are connected by the Bab al-Mandab Strait which serves as an essential gateway between the Mediterranean Sea with the Indian Ocean. Directly across that narrow body of water from Djibouti is Yemen. You can imagine the geopolitical significance of this particular part of the world. You might be thinking of issues pertaining to global trade, to international peace, to development and humanitarian assistance. And you might not be surprised to know that there is a United States military presence in Djibouti. But you might be surprised to learn that the only Catholic priest currently serving in the US military for the entire continent of Africa is living there in Djibouti. You might also be surprised to learn that this priest is a Jesuit, one who just a few months ago was teaching theology and neuroscience to undergraduates at Creighton University. Now, Fr. Chris Krall is serving as a chaplain, having been called up from his reserve status at the end of the 2024 fall semester. Instead of grading papers, he's traveling by helicopter to remote bases across Africa to bring the sacraments and a listening ear. Fr. Chris is our guest today calling in all the way from east Africa. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be a priest ministering to folks in the military, this conversation is for you. We talk about how Chris' current mission fits into his Jesuit vocation of being available to go where God's people need him. We wrestle with some of the possible tensions inherent in being a priest in the military. And we reflect on the surprising similarities between ministering to colleges students and ministering to women and men in uniform. A note: This conversation was recorded in late May.

Nick and Angela greet good friends who love to travel on two wheels. Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman bring their passion for adventure to Dish following the release of their latest TV show, Long Way Home. Their fourth motorcycle trip together sees them plot a path through 17 European countries on two vintage bikes. The Long Way series began in 2004 when the pair embarked on an epic route from London to New York, via Asia, in Long Way Round. Each trip they take is characterised by beautiful landscapes, chance encounters, good (and not so good) food and Charley and Ewan's close friendship.  Ewan McGregor has been on our screens since his acting debut in 1993. His hugely successful career includes unforgettable roles in Trainspotting, Shallow Grave, Star Wars, Salmon FIshing in the Yemen and Moulin Rouge!. Charley, who met Ewan on a film set in 1997, is well known for his TV adventures, including By Any Means, which saw him travel from Ireland to Australia using any modes of transport he could find. He has also participated in the Dakar Rally, known to be one of the world's toughest and most dangerous motorsport competitions. There's not a lot of room to spare on this week's table, with a feast of food and drink to tempt our guests. At Ewan's request, Angela serves a slice of nostalgia in the form of Melba toast with chicken liver pâté, smoked mackerel pâté and pâté de campagne, before bringing out the haggis bon-bons. Drinks are negronis, tweaked by Charley, who suggests switching the gin for tequila, and a Pentire coastal spritz for Ewan. This is followed by an epic tomahawk steak with spicy dipping sauce and fries, paired with a glass of Journey's End Sir Lowry Cabernet Sauvignon. After arriving on motorbikes (a Dish first), Charley and Ewan quickly settle at the Dish table, where chat moves from boiled egg banter to bagpipes and classic Mongolian hospitality. Charley shares one of his favourite recipes and Ewan reminisces on an unforgettable meeting with Delia Smith. The episode finishes with Nick and Angela checking out the bikes, a moment you can watch on our YouTube channel as part of the full episode.   You can watch Long Way Home on Apple TV+ now.

Israel's conflict with Iran has wiped out dozens of top military leaders and scientists and inflicted major damage on critical facilities, yet the regime has survived.The Iranian people have not risen up; to the contrary, they have rallied around the flag amid a surge in anti-Western sentiment. However, the regime will need to embark on serious reforms to keep the people on its side, says Iranian American academic Vali NasrSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

De forma inesperada Donald Trump anunció este lunes un alto el fuego en la guerra entre Israel e Irán. Se tomó incluso la licencia de bautizarla como guerra de los 12 Días. Y ha sido eso mismo, 12 días lo que ha durado. El conflicto comenzó el 13 de junio con un ataque sorpresa de Israel que destruyó las defensas antiaéreas y varios objetivos del programa nuclear. Nueve días después EEUU intervino con la operación Martillo de Medianoche, que consistió en una única misión aeronaval muy elaborada que dejó caer 14 bombas antibúnkeres y 30 misiles contra las instalaciones subterráneas del programa nuclear iraní. Irán respondió en la tarde del lunes con un ataque simbólico de 14 misiles contra una base estadounidense en Catar, un ataque previamente notificado, y que fue inútil porque ninguno de los misiles alcanzó su objetivo. Trump negoció el armisticio primero con Israel y luego con Irán a través de intermediarios cataríes, consiguiendo así un cese de hostilidades que estabilizó en el acto el mercado: la Bolsa subió y el petróleo cayó. Pero ni Israel ni Irán han confirmado formalmente un acuerdo definitivo. El vicepresidente JD Vance aseguró en televisión que los ataques destruyeron las reservas de uranio enriquecido de Irán, aunque por ahora Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica desconoce el paradero de 400 kg de uranio al 60% de pureza, suficiente para diez bombas si se enriquece al 90%. El alto el fuego plantea algunos interrogantes como cuánto durará, la posibilidad de un acuerdo formal y el impacto en la estabilidad de Oriente Medio. Irán, debilitado militarmente y con un régimen muy impopular, quiere evitar una confrontación directa con EEUU. En Israel lo ven de forma muy distinta. Tras cumplir la mayor parte de sus objetivos, puede declararse victoriosos. Para Trump también es una victoria. Se presenta como un mediador que ha conseguido la paz a través de la fuerza. El programa nuclear iraní, hoy gravemente dañado, podría reconstruirse en secreto si el líder supremo, Alí Jamenei, decide que así sea. Recordemos que, antes del ataque, Irán estaba a semanas de una bomba nuclear. Tendrán que empezar desde muy atrás, cierto es, pero la experiencia ya la tienen. La estabilidad regional depende de si Irán decide tomar el camino opuesto, abandona su programa nuclear y el apoyo que prestan a milicias en el Líbano y Yemen. La república islámica, humillada tras 12 días de ataques que no ha conseguido contrarrestar, no atraviesa su mejor momento. La guerra ha expuesto su debilidad militar mientras en paralelo la crisis económica y la represión política alimentan el descontento. Aunque no se ha producido levantamiento alguno, la presión sobre Jamenei, de 86 años y con problemas de salud, podría derivar en un golpe de Estado o su reemplazo de forma pacífica. Netanyahu no forzará un cambio de régimen, pero ya ha advertido que atacará de forma preventiva si Irán reconstruye su programa. Como vemos, este episodio, aunque histórico para Israel, no garantiza una paz duradera mientras persistan las tensiones con el régimen de los ayatolás.

GAZA, LEBANON, YEMEN; THE TEHRAN AGENTS, DAVID DAOUD, BILL ROGGIO,FDD 1959 CHE IN GAZA

The ayatollahs who have ruled Iran since 1979 have long promised to destroy the Jewish state, and had even set a deadline for it. While arming proxies to fight Israel—Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and more—Iran is believed to have sought to develop nuclear weapons for itself. “The big question about Iran was always: how significant is its apocalyptic theology?” Yossi Klein Halevi explains to David Remnick. “How central is that end-times vision to the Iranian regime? And is there a possibility that the regime would see a nuclear weapon as the way of furthering their messianic vision?” Halevi is a journalist and senior fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute, and he co-hosts the podcast “For Heaven's Sake.” He is a fierce critic of Benjamin Netanyahu, saying, “I have no doubt that he is capable of starting a war for his own political needs.” And yet Netanyahu was right to strike Iran, no matter the consequences, Halevi asserts. “The Israeli perspective is not . . . the American war in Iraq and Afghanistan. It's our own experience.”New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

This will be the first CG episode to get the complete audio upgrade and revision to achieve the cleanest sound ever for the podcast series I have completed the CG catalog for 2025 (Episodes 058-067) and will replace those this weekend. Let me know what you think. With Western conflict now inevitable in Yemen and Iran, I discuss the vagaries and verities of mountain warfare. The recent American involvement in direct military intervention in Iran hanged the temper and nature of the war inevitably. I assess how the RMAs rapidly displacing centuries-old conflict norms are going to look for the remainder of the century. Buppert's Law of Military Topography: “Mountainous terrain held by riflemen who know what they are about cannot be militarily defeated.” With an area of 1,648,195 square km (636,372 sq mi), Iran ranks seventeenth in size among the countries of the world. Iran shares its northern borders with several post-Soviet states: Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkmenistan. References: Points of Resistance and Departure: An interview with James C.

The Ayatollahs who have ruled Iran since 1979 have long promised to destroy the Jewish state, and even set a deadline for it.  While arming proxies to fight Israel—Hezbollah in Lebanon, Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and more—Iran is believed to have sought to develop nuclear weapons for itself. “The big question about Iran was always how significant is its apocalyptic theology,” Yossi Klein Halevi explains to David Remnick. “How central is that end-times vision to the Iranian regime?

The Middle East is on fire. Again. What began as Israel's retaliation against Hamas after the October 7 attacks has now exploded into a multi-front conflict involving Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and now Iran. In this episode of In Our Defence, veteran journalist and national security expert Sandeep Unnithan joins host Dev Goswami to break down how the war escalated so dramatical, and what it means for the region and the world. The two look at Iran's underestimated military, its dual-army structure, and the massive blow dealt to its leadership in just the first week of fighting. Why does Israel seem so unbending, even at the cost of global condemnation and regional chaos? And could any of this be happening without backing from the US? Dev and Sandeep also explore the philosophical irony behind Western nations - especially the US - dictating nuclear rules to countries like Iran, even as they maintain massive arsenals themselves. Is this another chapter in global double standards? And finally, the two unpack a surprising development: Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir's meeting with Donald Trump during his US visit. Could this signal a renewed American effort to position Pakistan as a behind-the-scenes player in the Israel-Iran war? Produced by Garvit Srivastava Sound mixed by Rohan Bharti

Tussen Israël en Iran woedt een heftige strijd van luchtmacht, raketten, cyberoorlog en speciale eenheden. Maar deze oorlog kon niemand verrassen en was eigenlijk al jaren gaande.Hoe begrijpen we wat hier gebeurt; wat in Iran en de dictatuur van de ayatollahs gaande is en in Israël en de complexe politieke verhoudingen en cultuur daar? Jaap Jansen PG Kroeger kijken naar de gruwelijke en vaak eeuwenoude context van dit conflict.***Deze aflevering is mede mogelijk gemaakt door Saxo.

De complete tekst plus linkjes en een overzicht van al onze eerdere afleveringen vind je hier***Al vele jaren is onderhuids en af en toe opflakkerend sprake van deze oorlog. Israël zette zijn uiterst doeltreffende hightech en geheime diensten in, Iran gebruikte terreurorganisaties en andere verlengde armen om Israël continu te bedreigen. Met cyberaanvallen op ondergrondse nucleaire installaties en aanslagen op kerngeleerden en militaire commandanten maakte Israël duidelijk dat in Iran niemand zich veilig kon voelen voor zijn macht.De aanval van Hamas op 7 oktober 2023 was onderdeel van deze oorlog waarin het regime in Teheran Israël op een reeks fronten tegelijk wilde destabiliseren. Omdat Benjamin Netanyahu besefte dat hij niet meer kon rekenen op de volledige steun van de Verenigde Staten - zeker niet nadat Donald Trump het kernwapen-akkoord met Teheran eenzijdig ongedaan maakte – ging hij uiteindelijk zijn eigen gang.Zo werden de handlangers van ayatollah Ali Khamenei het eerste doelwit. Hezbollah, Houthi's in Yemen, milities in Irak en Hamas in Gaza zijn met grof geweld aangepakt. Het regime in Teheran werd bovendien verder geïsoleerd en ingesnoerd door samenwerking van Trump met Arabische heersers, die hem aan zich bonden door zijn zucht naar 'deals'.De cruciale wijziging in de machtsverhoudingen kwam met de instorting van de belangrijkste bondgenoot van Iran en Rusland, het gruwelijke bewind van Bashar al-Assad in Syrië. Voor zowel het Kremlin als de ayatollahs was dit een funeste nederlaag. Teheran stond geheel alleen. Bovendien blijkt nu dat de Russische militaire technologie tegenover die van Israël onmachtig is. Duidelijk is dat vele lessen uit Oekraïne hier worden toegepast.Netanyahu wil Iran militair voor decennia verzwakken en de nucleaire capaciteit maximaal reduceren. Voor dat laatste zou Amerika weleens nodig moeten zijn. Maar voor Trump is regimewisseling geen doel op zich. De VS hebben in Irak hun lesje geleerd.Onder de buurstaten ziet vooral Turkije zijn positie nog machtiger worden en verliest Rusland na Syrië nóg een cruciale bondgenoot.Veel pleit er dan ook voor om beter te leren begrijpen hoe landen als Iran en Syrië zich historisch, cultureel en politiek van binnenuit hebben ontwikkeld. Zeker zo complex is trouwens ook Israël. Al in de memoires van Obama en Merkel was duidelijk: zij beseften dat het een misverstand was om Netanyahu en de Israëlische politieke cultuur als ‘westers' te beschouwen.Het land van Netanyahu is al lang niet meer de bijna Westeuropese sociaaldemocratie van Golda Meïr, Yitzhak Rabin en Shimon Peres. De demografische en cultureel-etnische diversiteit zijn enorm, eigenlijk zoals overal elders in het Midden-Oosten. Regeringen zijn permanent wisselende samenraapsels van kleine groeperingen en sekten rond een sterke man als vast ankerpunt. Ook voor de gunsten uit de overheidskassen. Netanyahu regeert in allianties waarin loyaliteit en wederzijds verraad elkaar ongeremd afwisselen. Israël lijkt nu veel meer op zijn buren dan op een EU-lidstaat.Misschien vertelt dit ook wel waarom Geert Wilders dit zo bewondert. Netanyahu is immers een sterke, bijna autocratische 'baas' met om zich heen nooit écht loyale vazallen die voor hun positie, status en levensonderhoud van hem afhankelijk zijn. Dat deze ook nog de alles beheersende centrale machtsfiguur van de natie is, maakt hem nog meer een voorbeeld.***Verder luisteren377 - Golda Meïr, Israël, triomf en tragiek315 - Vrouw, leven, vrijheid: oorzaken en achtergronden van het straatprotest in Iran.

Me gustaria refrescarles la memoria con la expresión “eje del mal” que fue utilizada originalmente el 29 de enero de 2002 por el entonces presidente de los Estados Unidos George W. Bush​ para describir a los regímenes que supuestamente apoyaban el terrorismo. Los estados-nación que Bush mencionó en su discurso fueron Irak, Irán y Corea del Norte, a los cuales posteriormente se agregaron Libia, Siria y Cuba. Todos sabemos, o deberíamos saber para empezar, que el 11S fue una bandera falsa y que jamas aparecieron armas de destrucción masiva ni en Irak, ni en Libia y muy posiblemente tampoco existan en Corea del Norte. El señor Bush olvidó que casi 20 años antes fueron asesinados el mismo numero de seres humanos en la matanza de Sabra y Chatila que los asesinados el 11S y que fue un 11 de septiembre de 1982 cuando las fuerzas internacionales que iban a garantizar la seguridad de los refugiados palestinos abandonaron Beirut. En este caso ni sus asesinos directos, falangistas antipalestinos junto a soldados israelíes, ni su impulsor político jamas fueron juzgados. A principios de junio de 2025, la situación geopolítica global se ha tensado significativamente debido a una serie de eventos que incrementaron los temores sobre una posible escalada hacia un conflicto mayor, incluso una tercera guerra mundial. El 1 de junio de 2025, Ucrania llevó a cabo la "Operación Telaraña", un ataque masivo con 117 drones contra aeródromos rusos en regiones como Múrmansk, Irkutsk, Ivánovo, Riazán y Amur, destruyendo o dañando al menos 12 aviones estratégicos rusos (o sea capaces de transportar armas nucleares), incluidos bombarderos Tu-95, Tu-22M3 y un avión de alerta temprana A-50. La acción provocó una fuerte reacción rusa, con Vladimir Putin calificando a Zelenski de "terrorista" el 5 de junio y declarando el fin de las posibilidades de un acuerdo de paz. Esta escalada, combinada con la retórica beligerante y los ataques rusos en represalia el 6 de junio contra Kyiv, Lutsk y Ternópil, que dejaron al menos tres muertos y 49 heridos, alimentó especulaciones sobre un conflicto global, como expresó el economista Jeffrey Sachs al advertir sobre "jugar con el apocalipsis" tras los ataques ucranianos. Realmente quedo en nada. Paralelamente, en Oriente Próximo, la escalada entre Israel e Irán alcanzó un nuevo pico en los días previos al viernes 13 de junio de 2025. Israel ejecutó una operación masiva contra Irán, atacando simultáneamente instalaciones nucleares, bases militares y figuras clave, incluyendo científicos nucleares y altos mandos como Hossein Salami, líder de la Guardia Revolucionaria. Esta ofensiva, que incluyó el uso de drones explosivos instalados previamente en Irán, fue comparada con la "Operación Telaraña" ucraniana por su sofisticación y planificación a largo plazo. Teherán confirmó la muerte de al menos seis científicos nucleares y reportó decenas de víctimas por los ataques israelíes, mientras que Israel advirtió a los iraníes que evacuaran zonas cercanas a sitios militares. La operación, que buscó neutralizar las capacidades de misiles y el programa nuclear iraní, marcó un cambio estratégico al atacar no solo infraestructura, sino también la cúpula militar y científica del país. Este intercambio, descrito como la cuarta oleada de bombardeos iraníes contra Israel en 24 horas el 14 de junio, intensificó las tensiones globales, con temores de una escalada que podría involucrar a otras potencias. No es la primera vez que Israel intenta neutralizar la tecnología nuclear iraní asesinando a los científicos iranies implicados en su desarrollo. El 11 de enero de 2012 podiamos leer el siguiente titular en Europa Press: “Irán denuncia que el atentado en Teherán es "obra de los sionistas”. En dicha noticia se nos contaba como una bomba magnética colocada en los bajos del automóvil del profesor universitario Ahmadi Roshan había acabado con su vida. Era director de las instalaciones de enriquecimiento de uranio de Natanz. Pero es que otro profesor universitario y científico nuclear, Masoud Alí Mohammadi, fue asesinado en un ataque terrorista con bomba en Teherán el 11 de enero de 2010. Otra bomba magnética situada en su coche a finales de ese mismo año se cobró la vida de Majid Shahriari, fundador de la Sociedad Nuclear de Irán, concretamente el 29 de noviembre, o sea 11 y 11. Ese mismo dia intentaron también asesinar a Fereydun Abbasi, doctorado en Física Nuclear y que investigaba para el ministerio de Defensa Iraní. Ambos eventos, el ataque ucraniano del 1 de junio y los bombardeos israelíes contra Irán alrededor del 13 y 14 de junio, han sido señalados como puntos críticos que podrían desestabilizar aún más el orden internacional. La combinación de estas acciones, junto con la retórica de líderes como Putin y las preocupaciones expresadas en foros internacionales, ha llevado a analistas y medios, como se vio en publicaciones en X, a advertir sobre el riesgo de un conflicto global. Esto es lo que todos sabemos a través de los medios, y ahora os contare algunas incongruencias. Lo más curioso de incluir a Irán en este eje del mal es que Estados Unidos ha sido el encargado de ayudar a Irán a fortalecerse económica y tecnológicamente sobre todo en tema nuclear. El programa nuclear iraní contaba con reactores de agua pesada presurizada o PHWR, que se sepa el de Arak. Este es un tipo de reactor nuclear que usa agua pesada. En vez de utilizar H2O como moderador de neutrones y refrigerante se emplea óxido de deuterio, esto es, D2O a alta presión. El agua normal tiene afinidad a absorber los neutrones, lo que deja un número insuficiente de los mismos para reaccionar con las pequeñas cantidades de U235 presentes en el uranio natural, sin embargo el agua pesada no absorbe los neutrones tan fácilmente ya que el deuterio ya dispone del neutrón extra que normalmente el agua tendería a absorber. Esto permite que el U235 presente en el uranio natural sea suficiente para mantener la criticidad, o sea, mantener la reacción en cadena. Este tipo de reactores permiten producir plutonio y no necesitan de la alta tecnologia de las centrifugadoras para separar el U235 del resto de isótopos de uranio. Dichos reactores proceden del llamado Programa nuclear de Irán que empezó bajo el mandato del Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlevi de Irán en la década de 1950, con la ayuda obviamente de los Estados Unidos de América. Con la creación de la agencia atómica de Irán y con la firma del NPT (Tratado de no Proliferación Nuclear), el Sha planeó la construcción para el año 2000 de hasta 23 estaciones de energía nuclear por todo el país en conjunto con los EE.UU. En 1976 se firma un tratado estando Gerald Ford como presidente de USA, Dick Cheney, como su Jefe de Gabinete en la Casa Blanca, Donald Rumsfeld como el Secretario de Defensa y Paul Wolfowitz, dentro de la Agencia de Control de Armas y Desarme lo que permitiría a Irán comprar y operar una instalación de procesamiento, de fabricación estadounidense, para extraer plutonio. Estas cuatro personas citadas están en la actualidad entre los mayores opositores al programa nuclear iraní, pero estuvieron involucrados en la promoción de un programa nuclear iraní que permitiera extraer plutonio del combustible de un reactor nuclear. Les ruego que lean el breve texto sobre el Programa nuclear de Irán de la wikipedia para que se den cuenta que no solo USA ha ayudado a Irán a ser una potencia nuclear si no que científicos argentinos, europeos o chinos también han contribuido. Dejare un enlace en la descripción del podcast en Ivoox. La empresa colectiva Kraftwerk Union formada por Siemens AG y AEG Telefunken, se retiró del proyecto nuclear de Bushehr en julio de 1979, dejando un reactor completo en un 50%, y el otro reactor en un 85% completo. Se terminaría gracias a la ayuda de Rusia. Después de la Revolución de 1979, Irán informó al Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica (OIEA) de sus planes para reiniciar su programa nuclear utilizando combustible nuclear de fabricación doméstica y en eso ha estado desde ese momento. A pesar de los supuestos bloqueos ordenados por la ONU y la crisis diplomática de 2005 por el reinicio del enriquecimiento de uranio las centrifugadoras para separar el U235 del uranio natural han seguido llegando. Recuerdo perfectamente como dentro de la operación Atalanta en Somalia un barco militar español detecto un cargamento de dichas maquinas que tenia como destino Irán. Desgraciadamente me es imposible encontrar dicha noticia, pero pasar, pasó. Antes de julio de 2015, Irán tenía grandes reservas de uranio enriquecido y casi 20.000 centrífugadoras, lo suficiente para crear entre ocho y 10 bombas, según la inteligencia de EE.UU. El 2 de abril de 2015 el grupo de 5+1 con Estados Unidos a la cabeza levanto las sanciones económicas y de colaboración tecnológica con Irán. Irán tuvo acceso a más de 100.000 millones de dólares en activos congelados en el exterior, y pudo reanudar sus exportaciones de petróleo a mercados internacionales utilizando el sistema financiero de comercio global. Estados Unidos no solo le brindo su apoyo tecnológico desde el primer minuto es que sin su participación hubiera sido imposible el crecimiento económico como pais de Irán. En cuanto al tema de las centrifugadoras ya empieza a cansar la verdad... Para hacer un poco de memoria el "inventor" de la primera centrifugadora fue Fritz Lange un científico alemán (como no) por allá los años 30...hasta los años 50 no se volvieron a crear las primeras centrifugadoras comerciales de mano del Prof. Max Steenbeck. Las primeras funcionaban a una velocidad de 240 m/s pero tenían dificultades técnicas (gran tamaño, fugas de gas, no podían trabajar en serie) y hasta el 1952 no se logro crear las digamos del modelo actual que permiten transferir el gas de una a otra en cascada para "purificar" mas el gas de uranio UF6. Fue un científico ruso, Eugeni Kamenev el que logro tal hazaña. Estas ya giraban a 320 m/s. En el 1953 interviene Gernot Zippe un ingeniero austriaco y le da otra vuelta de tuerca y la patenta...creando las de diseño occidental, tanto rusas como anglo derivan todas de este diseño. Hoy en día han evolucionado desde los 3m de altura de las primeras al medio metro de altura de las actuales, la 9 generación...y de los 300 m/seg a los mas de 700 m/seg de las actuales. Las imagenes de los "armatostes" que nos ofrecen por la television de las centrifugadoras iranies (que son imagenes grabadas por la IAEA en sus "incursiones" en busca de armas atómicas) nos indican que o bien los iranies han sabido guardar bien las de tecnologia occidental que compraron en el mercado negro (y que un barco de guerra español retuvo durante unas horas por error...:D) o ciertamente el virus israelí funciono a la perfección dejándolas inoperantes... Sea como sea centrifugadoras sobran en el mundo...los rusos tienen factorías para producir cientos de miles al año, en la Gorkovski Automobile Plant llamada en clave GAZ y en The Urals Electrochemical, entre ambas plantas se podrían fabricar unas 150.000 maquinas centrifugadoras al año. Aparte de que los rusos en su complejo de enriquecimiento ruso funciona cerca de su capacidad nominal de aproximadamente 20 millones de SWU/año, enviar unos cuantos contenedores a Irán no seria ningún problema. El término SWU significa "Unidad de Trabajo de Separación" (por sus siglas en inglés, Separative Work Unit), y se usa para medir el esfuerzo necesario para enriquecer uranio, es decir, para aumentar la proporción de uranio-235 para comvertirlo en combustible nuclear. Entre 100 y 200.000 SWU son necesarios para producir el combustible que utilizara un reactor nuclear en un año. Por lo que 20 millones de SWU dan para muchas bombas. Hay que crear enemigos convincentes como bien se decía en el informe Iron Mountain para hacer creíble una guerra. En la penúltima linea de la portada de The Economist con la previsión del 2020 podíamos leer NPT y después WAR, o sea Tratado de No Proliferación Nuclear y Guerra. Yo creo que no podia ser más claro el mensaje. Han tenido 5 años para planificar el teatrillo que estamos observando entre Irán e Israel. El general retirado de las fuerzas estadounidenses, Wesley Clark, aseguró ante el público que la orden el mismo 11 de septiembre era invadir 7 países árabes en 5 años. Leo las palabras textuales de “Con el Mazo dando” en la descripción del video donde sale este general y que podréis encontrar en la descripción de este podcast. “Lo cierto es que poco después de Afganistán vino Irak, luego Libia, poco después Siria, Yemen y Pakistán; sólo les falta la joya de la corona: Irán. Cuando se les cayó la tesis de Al Qaeda, porque era imposible que el imperio más grande de la historia no pudiese encontrar a un sólo hombre y no pudiese derrotar a una organización de mil locos, tuvieron que "asesinar" a su líder Osama Bin Laden (cuyo cadaver fue "tirado al mar"). Ahora se inventaron un nuevo enemigo más fuerte, de mayores dimensiones llamado Estado Islámico. Es muy curioso que de las cenizas del Medio Oriente, un territorio que ya tiene 24 años de bombardeos, pobreza, hambre y miseria, surja un movimiento con una tecnología y capacidad de fuego más grande que muchos de los Estados que están allí. Y lo más curioso es que este grupo de "radicales islámicos" le declare la guerra a Irán y no se la declare a Israel.” Creo que debemos estar tranquilos ya que hay fuerzas poderosas enfrentadas que no quieren una tercera guerra mundial tal y como les contaba en el destrozadisimo articulo mío “La ley de Murphy dice que evitaremos la tercera guerra mundial”. Allí contaba como el enorme avispero que se ha creado en toda esa zona se cita en el proyecto Gran Israel o plan Yinon…y es que el proyecto Gran Israel se les quedo pequeño hace mucho y ahora planean llevar a cabo uno mucho mas ambicioso llamado fronteras de sangre. Todos y cada de uno de los países que están en esa zona han invertido ingentes cantidades de dinero en armamento, Turquía, Egipto, Irak, Irán, Arabia Saudi que esta siendo dotada de energía nuclear gracias a los norteamericanos, Siria, Emiratos árabes, Yemen, Afganistán, Pakistan, no digamos Israel…incluso la hundida económicamente Grecia ha invertido gran parte de su deuda en armamento. Digamos para terminar que Irán podría tener disponible hace ya bastantes años unas cuantas bombas atómicas de ultima generación y que por tanto estos últimos ataques israelíes son tan solo un teatrillo para intentar escenificar una posible 3 guerra mundial. Ni Israel ha ido con todo contra Irán ni Irán ha respondido con la contundencia que podría hacerlo. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… ¿Por qué afirmo que todo esto es un teatrillo? Pues entre muchos motivos porque justamente el dia de mi cumpleaños, el 8 de junio, la nieta del antiguo rey iraní, del sha de Persia Iman Pahlavi, se ha casado con un empresario judío. En los medios nos lo venden como un empresario de éxito de una tecnológica de reparto con drones llamado Bradley Sherman. La joven Iman Pahlavi, de 31 años, cuyo abuelo fue Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi e hija del príncipe heredero exiliado Reza Pahlavi, se casó con el empresario Bradley Sherman en una ceremonia formal a la que asistieron destacados miembros de la familia real iraní y que siguió las costumbres tradicionales de las bodas judías. Pero resulta que este empresario de éxito comparte el apellido con el mismísimo yerno de Trump, el apellido Kushner. Se llama Bradley Sherman Kushner, aunque os costara encontrar algo de información al respecto. Yo lo sé gracias a haber visto el tremendo video de Hector, el hilo rojo, junto a sus dos contertulios de siempre, Julio y Elias Grima del canal SoloClima. Su video tenia el subtitulo de “A las puertas de la tercera guerra mundial nuclear” pero ya os aviso que ni de coña se va a producir. Va a ver una escalada, eso si, hasta el momento cumbre que será en julio. Jared Kushner es el yerno de Donald Trump, casado con Ivanka Trump. Jared Kushner vive en el 666 de la sexta avenida donde está el Zara principal y su hermano Joshua Kushner (hijo del magnate empresarial Charles Kushner) es el fundador de la firma de inversión, Thrive Capital, cofundada junto a Oscar Health. No hace falta que os diga que el documental Thrive (Prosperar) que fue presentado por el primogénito de la multinacional Procter & Gamble, Foster Gamble ha resultado un truco que nos vendía la New Age y la agenda 2030. Una de sus ofertas era que descartaremos el dinero en metálico y aceptaremos de buen grado el digital. Realmente no estamos como para ir destruyendo la tecnologia que tanto esfuerzo ha costado crear. Y la tecnologia nuclear es de las caras. Así que creo que todo este teatrillo se va a dar la vuelta para volver a traer a la antigua familia real persa a Irán. Están en Estados Unidos viviendo a lo grande. Lo pueden comprobar viendo las fotografías de la boda de la nietisima. Uno de los eventos astrológicos más significativos de julio de 2025 es la entrada de Urano en Géminis, que ocurre el 7 de julio de 2025. Este tránsito marca el inicio de un ciclo que durará aproximadamente hasta 2033, con una breve retrogradación a Tauro entre noviembre de 2025 y abril de 2026. Urano, conocido como el planeta de la revolución, la innovación y los cambios súbitos, cambia de signo cada siete años aproximadamente, por lo que este es un evento de gran relevancia tanto a nivel personal como colectivo. Hoy, 17 de junio, el príncipe heredero Reza Pahlaví, hijo del último Sah, se dirigirá al pueblo iraní en un mensaje oficial a las 9:00 p.m. Un mes mas tarde, el 17 de julio de 2025: Saturno estará casi en conjunción con Neptuno en Aries. Los tránsitos de Urano en Géminis han coincidido con eventos históricos significativos, como la Revolución Americana, la Guerra Civil de EE.UU. y la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Dicho esto, yo no soy especialmente creyente en la astrología y tampoco creo que hablar sobre ello sea malo “per se”. Lo que tengo claro es que las elites psicopatocraticas si creen en la astrología y la utilizan. Por ello creo que el cambio de gobierno en Irán, de producirse, acontecerá a mediados de julio. …………………………………………………………………………………………………………… Un periódico llamado “La correspondencia militar” mostró en un titular uno de los famosos duelos de Blasco Ibáñez. Allí veíamos en un apartado titulado “Cuestión Resuelta” como se utilizaban los tres puntos en forma de pirámide para separar el primer párrafo. ¿Por qué un periódico de tendencia militar utilizaría los tres puntos de la masonería y terminaría felicitando al valiente duelista Blasco Ibáñez? ¿No les suena muy actual esa forma de proceder? "Conoce el pasado y podrás luchar en el futuro.” Otra frase interesante es la que comparte Ardi con todos nosotros: "La propaganda no está pensada para convertir a la gente en idiota, sino que se dirige a los idiotas desde el principio" George Bernard Shaw Y termino con una mia: “Experimentar es creer. Creer es empezar a ver. Ver es empezar a experimentar.” ……………………………………………………………………………………….

This week we talk about tit-for-tat warfare, conflict off-ramps, and Israel's renewed attacks on Iran's nuclear program.We also discuss the Iron Dome, the Iran-Iraq War, and regime change.Recommended Book: How Much is Enough? by Robert and Edward SkidelskyTranscriptIn late-October of 2024, Israel launched a wave of airstrikes against targets in Iran and Syria. These strikes were code-named Operation Days of Repentance, and it marked the largest such attack on Iran by Israel since the 1980s, during the height of the Iran-Iraq War.Operation Days of Repentance was ostensibly a response to Iran's attack on Israel earlier than same month, that attack code-named Operation True Promise II, which involved the launch of around 200 ballistic missiles against Israeli targets. Operation True Promise II was itself a response to Israel's assassination of the leader of Hamas, the leader of Hezbollah, and the Deputy of Operations for Iran's Revolutionary Guard.If you feel like there might be a tit-for-tat pattern here, you're right. Iran and Israel have been at each other's throats since 1979, following the Islamic Revolution when Iran cut off all diplomatic relations with Israel; some backchannel relations continued between the two countries, even through part of the Iran-Iraq War, when Israel often supported Iran in that conflict, but things got tense in the early 1980s when Iran, partnering with the Syrian government, started backing Hezbollah and their effort to boot Israel out of Southern Lebanon, while also partnering with Islamist militants in Iraq and Yemen, including the Houthis, and at times Hamas in Gaza, as well.Most of these attacks have, until recently, been fairly restrained, all things considered. There's long been bravado by politicians on both sides of the mostly cold war-ish conflict, but they've generally told the other side what they would be hitting, and signaled just how far they would be going, telling them the extent of the damage they would cause, and why, which provides the other side ample opportunity to step off the escalatory ladder; everyone has the chance to posture for their constituents and then step back, finding an off-ramp and claiming victory in that specific scuffle.That back-and-forth in late-2024 largely stuck to that larger pattern, and both sides stuck with what typically works for them, in terms of doing damage: Israel flew more than 100 aircraft to just beyond or just inside Iran's borders and struck a bunch of military targets, like air defense batteries and missile production facilities, while Iran launched a few hundred far less-accurate missiles at broad portions of Israel—a type of attack that could conceivably result in a lot of civilian casualties, not just damage to military targets, which would typically be a no-no if you're trying to keep the tit-for-tat strikes regulated and avoid escalation, but because Israel has a fairly effective anti-missile system called the Iron Dome, Iran could be fairly confident that just hurling a large number of missiles in their general direction would be okay, as most of those missiles would be shot down by the Iron Dome, the rest by Israel's allies in the region, and the few that made it through or struck unoccupied land in the general vicinity would make their point.While this conflict has been fairly stable for decades, though, the tenor and tone seems to have changed substantially in 2025, and a recent wave of attacks by Israel is generally being seen as the culmination of several other efforts, and possibly an attempt by the Israeli government to change the nature of this conflict, perhaps permanently.And that's what I'd like to talk about today; Operation Rising Lion, and the implications of Israel's seeming expansion and evolution of their approach to dealing with Iran.—In mid-June of 2025, Israel's military launched early morning strikes against more than a dozen targets across Iran, most of the targets either fundamental to Iran's nuclear program or its military.The strikes were very targeted, and some were assassinations of top Iranian military leaders and nuclear scientists, like the Commander of the Revolutionary Guard, along with their families, including twenty children, who were presumably collateral damage. Some came from beyond Iran's borders, some were conducted by assets smuggled into Iran earlier: car bombs and drones, things like that.More attacks followed that initial wave, which resulted in the collapse of nuclear sites and airport structures, along with several residential buildings in the country's capitol, Tehran.This attack was ostensibly meant to hobble Iran's nuclear program, which the Iranian government has long claimed is for purely peaceful, energy-generation purposes, but which independent watchdog organizations, and pretty much every other non-Iranian-allied government says is probably dual-purpose, allowing Iran to produce nuclear energy, but also nuclear weapons.There was a deal on the books for a while that had Iran getting some benefits in exchange for allowing international regulators to monitor its nuclear program, but that deal, considered imperfect by many, but also relatively effective compared to having no deal at all, went away under the first Trump administration, and the nuclear program has apparently been chugging along since then with relative success; claims that Iran is just weeks from having enough fissile material to make a nuclear weapon have been common for years, now, but they apparently now have enough nuclear weapons-grade materials to make several bombs, and Israel in particular is quite keen to keep them from building such a weapon, as Iran's leaders, over the years, have said they'd like to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth, and nuclear weapons would be a relatively quick and easy way to make that happen.Of course, even without using such a weapon, simply having one or more is a sort of insurance policy against conventionally armed enemies. It ups the stakes in every type of conflict, and allows the nuclear-armed belligerent to persistently raise the specter of nuclear war if anyone threatens them, which is truly terrifying because of how many nuclear-related failsafes are in place around the world: one launch or detonation potentially becoming many, all at once, because of Dr. Strangelove-like automated systems that many militaries have readied, just in case.So the possibility that Iran might be on the brink of actually, really, truly this time making a nuclear weapon is part of the impetus for this new strike by Israel.But this is also probably a continuation of the larger effort to dismantle Iran's influence across the region by the current Israeli government, which, following the sneak attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli forces, has been trying to undermine Iran's proxies, which again, include quite a few militant organizations, the most powerful of which, in recent years, have been the trio of Hamas in Gaza, the Houthis in Yemen, and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon, right on Israel's border.Israel's invasion of Gaza, which has led to an absolutely catastrophic humanitarian situation for Gazan civilians, but has also led to the near-total collapse of Hamas as a functioning militant organization in the Strip, could be construed as a successful mission, if you ignore all those civilians casualties and fatalities, and the near-leveling of a good portion of the Strip.Israel was also able to take out a significant portion of Hezbollah's leadership via conventional aerial attacks and ground-assaults, and a bizarrely effective asymmetric attack using bombs installed in the pagers used by the organization, and it's been able to significantly decrease the Houthis' ability to menace ships passing through the Red Sea, using their own military, but also through their relationship with the US, which has significant naval assets in the area.Iran has long projected power in the region through its relationship with these proxies, providing them training and weapons and money in exchange for their flanking of Israel. That flanking was meant to keep Israel perpetually off-balance with the knowledge that if they ever do anything too serious, beyond the bounds of the controllable tit-for-tat, Cold War-style conflict in which they were engaged with Iran, they could suffer significant damage at home, from the north via Lebanon, from their southwestern flank via Gaza, or from a little ways to the south and via their coast from Yemen.Those proxies now largely hobbled, though, Israel found itself suddenly freed-up to do something more significant, and this attack is being seen by analysts as the initial stages of what might be a more substantial, perhaps permanent solution to the Iran problem. Rather than being a show of force or a tit-for-tat play, these might be the beginning days of an assault that's meant to enact not just a dismantling of Iran's nuclear program, but full-on regime change in Iran.And regime change means exactly what it sounds like: Iran's government is Islamist, meaning that it wants to enforce a fairly brutal, repressive version of Islam globally, and it already does so against its people. There have periodically been successful protests against these measures by Iranian citizens, especially by severely repressed women and minority groups in the country, including folks of different religions and LGBTQ identifying folks, among others, almost always these protests, and any other attempts to attain more rights and equality for people who aren't strictly Islamist men, generally result in violence, the black-bagging of protest leaders, extrajudicial killings and lifetime imprisonment and torture; a whole lot of really authoritarian, generally just villain-scale behavior by the Iranian government against anyone who steps out of line.So the Iranian government is pretty monstrous by most modern, democratic standards, and the Israeli government's seeming desire to crush it—to cry false on the regime's projection of strength, and create the circumstances for revolution, if that is indeed what they're doing—could be construed as a fairly noble goal.It perhaps serves the purposes of Israel, as again, Iran has said, over and over, that they want to destroy Israel and would totally do so, given the chance. But it arguably also serves the purpose of democratic-leaning people, and perhaps even more so folks who are suffering under the current Iranian regime, and maybe even other, similar regimes in the region. Which again, in terms of spreading democracy and human rights, sounds pretty good to some ears.That said, Israel is killing a lot of Iranian civilians alongside military targets, and its efforts in Gaza have led to accusations that it's committing genocide in the region. Israeli leaders have themselves been accused of anti-democratic actions, basically doubling-down on the nation's furthest-right, most militant, and most authoritarian and theocratic impulses, which makes any claims of moral superiority a little tricky for them to make, at this point.There's a chance, of course, that all this speculation and analysis ends up being completely off-base, and Israel is really, truly just trying to hobble Iran a bit, taking out some of their missile launchers and missile- and drone-manufacturing capacity, while also pushing back their acquisition of nuclear weapons by some meaningful amount of time; that amount of time currently unknown, as initial reports, at least, indicate that many of the attacks on Iran's most vital nuclear research and development facilities were perhaps not as effective as Israel had hoped. There's a chance that if enough overall damage is done, Iran's government will enthusiastically return to the negotiating table and perhaps be convinced to set their nuclear program aside willingly, but at the moment both Iran and Israel seem committed to hurting each other, physically.On that note, so far, as of the day I'm recording this, Iran has launched around 100 missiles, killed a few dozen Israelis, and injured more than 500 of the same. The Iranian government has said Israel's strikes have killed at least 224 people and wounded more than 1,200; though a human rights group says the death toll in Iran could be quite a bit higher than official government numbers, with more than 400 people killed, around half of them civilians, so far.It's been nearly a week of this, and it looks likely that these strikes will continue for at least another few days, though many analysts are now saying they expect this to go one for at least a few weeks, if indeed Israel is trying to knock out some of Iran's more hardened nuclear program-related targets; several of which are buried deep down in the ground, thus requiring bunker-buster-style missiles to reach and destroy, and Israel doesn't have such weapons in their arsenal.Neutralizing those targets would therefore mean either getting those kinds of weapons from the US or other allies, taking them out via some other means, which would probably take more time and entail more risk, or doing enough damage quickly than Iran's government is forced to the negotiation table.And if that ends up being the case, if Israel is really just gunning for the nuclear program and nothing else, this could be remembered as a significant strike, but one that mostly maintains the current status quo; same Iranian leadership, same perpetual conflict between these two nations, but Israel boasting even more of an upper-hand than before, with less to worry about in terms of serious damage from Iran or its proxies for the next several years, minimum.It does seem like a good moment to undertake regime change in Iran, though, as doing so could help Israel polish up its reputation, at least a little, following the reputational drubbing it has taken because of its actions in Gaza. I doubt people who have really turned on Israel would be convinced, as doing away with an abusive, extremist regime, while doing abusive, extremist regime stuff yourself the homefront, probably won't be an argument that convinces many Palestinian liberation-oriented people; there's a chance some of those people will even take up the cause of Iranian civilians, which is true to a point, as many Iranian civilians are suffering and will continue to suffer under Israel's attacks—though of course that leaves out the part about them also suffering, for much longer, under their current government.That said, taking Iran out of the geopolitical equation would serve a lot of international interests, including those of the US—which has long hated Iran—and Ukraine, the latter of which because Russia has allied itself with the Iranian government, and buys a lot of drones, among other weapons, from Iran. That regime falling could make life more difficult for Russia, at least in the short term, and it would mean another ally lost in the region, following the fall of the Assad regime in Syria in late-2024.There's a chance that these same geopolitical variables could pull other players into this conflict, though: Russia could help Iran, for instance, directly or indirectly, by sending supplies, taking out Israeli missiles and drones, maybe, while the US could help Israel (more directly, that is, as it's apparently already helping them by shooting down some of Iran's counterstrike projectiles) by providing bunker-buster weapons, or striking vital military targets from a distance.Such an escalation, on either side, would probably be pretty bad for everyone except possibly Iran, though Israel has said it wants the US to join in on its side, as that would likely result in a much quicker victory and far fewer casualties on its side.The US government is pretty keen to keep out of foreign conflicts right now, though, at least directly, and Russia is pretty bogged down by its invasion of Ukraine; there's a chance other regional powers, even smaller ones, could act as proxies for these larger, outside forces—the Saudis taking the opportunity to score some damage on their long-time rival, Iran, for instance, by helping out Israel—but any such acts would expand the scope of the conflict, and it's seldom politically expedient to do anything that might require your people make any kind of sacrifice, so most everyone will probably stay out of this as long as they can, unless there are serious benefits to doing so.Show Noteshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_2025_Israeli_strikes_on_Iranhttps://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/06/13/israel-iran-regime-attack-goal-column-00405153https://www.foreignaffairs.com/israel/real-threat-iran-tehran-most-dangerous-option-responding-israelhttps://www.twz.com/news-features/could-iran-carry-out-its-threat-to-shut-the-strait-of-hormuzhttps://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-857713https://kyivindependent.com/israel-asks-us-to-join-strikes-on-irans-nuclear-sites-officials-told-axios/https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-june-15-2025/https://www.twz.com/air/israel-escalates-to-attacking-iranian-energy-targets-after-ballistic-missiles-hit-tel-avivhttps://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-strikes-news-06-14-25https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-confirms-irgc-air-force-chief-top-echelon-killed-in-israeli-strike/https://time.com/7294186/israel-warns-tehran-will-burn-deadly-strikes-traded-nuclear-program/https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/14/world/israel-iran-newshttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/13/opinion/israel-iran-strikes.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/world/middleeast/drones-smuggled-israel-iran-ukraine-russia.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06/15/world/iran-israel-nuclearhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/world/middleeast/iran-military-leaders-killed.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/14/world/europe/israel-iron-dome-defense.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/world/middleeast/israel-iran-missile-attack.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/14/world/middleeast/iran-israel-energy-facility-strikes-tehran.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/world/live-news/israel-iran-strikes-news-06-15-25https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/was-israel-s-strike-on-iran-a-good-idea--four-questions-to-askhttps://apnews.com/article/israel-iran-missile-attacks-nuclear-news-06-16-2025-c98074e62ce5afd4c3f6d33edaffa069https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/world/middleeast/iran-israel-war-off-ramp.htmlhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2024_Iranian_strikes_on_Israelhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_2024_Israeli_strikes_on_Iranhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axis_of_Resistancehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Lebanon_electronic_device_attacks This is a public episode.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe drumbeat of conflict reverberating through the Middle East has drawn global attention, but behind the headlines lies a methodical strategy that deserves deeper understanding. Following the catastrophic events of October 7th, 2023—Israel's own 9/11—we've witnessed the systematic dismantling of Iran's proxy network throughout the region.This episode examines Israel's calculated response to Hamas and other Iran-backed groups, tracing how Israeli forces have degraded Hamas's military capabilities, decimated Hezbollah's leadership, curtailed Iraqi and Syrian militias, and contained Houthi threats from Yemen. We explore how this campaign has now reached Iran itself, with Israel targeting military infrastructure to prevent nuclear capabilities while facing reprisals against civilian areas. The contrast between these approaches speaks volumes about the conflict's moral dimensions.What does it mean that only two theocracies in the world—Iran and Yemen—are actively exporting religious violence? How might Israel's campaign against Iran's military effectiveness create conditions for expanded peace in the region? As we witness history unfold, understanding these dynamics helps us grasp not just the headlines, but the profound shifts reshaping the Middle East's future. our book of the day is "Sledgehammer" by David FriedmannKey Points from the Episode:• The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia unexpectedly endorsed President Trump's Middle East peace plan, alongside many other nations• Turkey was historically cooperative with Israel until President Erdogan's leadership beginning in 2003• Iran has been exporting hate and violence in the region for nearly 50 years through proxies like Hezbollah and Hamas• Since October 7th, 2023, Israel has systematically degraded Hamas, weakened Hezbollah, and curtailed Iraqi and Syrian militias• Israel is now directly confronting Iran's military capabilities, particularly its nuclear program• Of all world theocracies, only Iran and Yemen are actively exporting violence through physical means• The 2020 Abraham Accords created unprecedented peace agreements between Israel and UAE, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco• These agreements achieved peace without requiring Israel to make territorial concessionsOther resources: Israel's Sept 11thLM#38--Israel's 9-11, part 1LM#39--Israel's 9-11, part 2--Don't look awayLM#54--Black Saturday, October 7th -- One Year LaterWant to leave a review?

THREE YEARS AGO, THE FUTURE PERIL IS TODAY: 2/4: The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy Hardcover – by  Brandon J. Weichert  (Author) There has been an ongoing shadow war between the West and Iran, one that could explode and plunge the world into a third world war. The Biden Administration's move to make peace at any cost with the mad mullahs of Iran may be the very spark for a regional war that turns into a global conflict, the likes of which not seen since the 1940s. As the Biden Administration pines for a return to the ill-fated Iran nuclear deal, Tehran makes ready to consolidate its growing power in the Middle East at America's expense. For the last decade, Iran has consistently expanded its own reach and influence across the region—all while judiciously building up its military capabilities. As America looks for a way out of the Middle East and a return to the Obama-era nuclear agreement, Iran enhances the ability of its terrorist proxies, like Hezbollah in Lebanon or the Houthis in Yemen, to threaten the security of Israel and to destabilize the Saudi regime. Each time the Biden Administration signals its willingness to negotiate with Iran, Iran gets more aggressive. In the words of one Saudi official, Iran is a "paper tiger with steel claws." These steel claws have extended to encompass the whole region, and they include Iran's growing arsenal of complex drones, precision-guided munitions, EMP weapons, and their nuclear weapons arsenal. Thankfully, there is a path forward for the United States and the solution can be found in the policies outlined by the previous Trump Administration; in the form of the Abraham Accords and daring "maximum pressure" campaign against Iran. But time is not on America's side. Should President Biden continue down the destructive, illusory path to "peace" with Iran, he will not only have abandoned America's long-standing allies, but he will have also helped to trigger the very conflict he seeks to avoid. After all, as Ronald Reagan once quipped, world wars do not start "because America is too strong." They start because the United States is deemed too weak by its rivals. In The Shadow War: Iran's Quest for Supremacy, author Brandon Weichert explores how the next world war is unfolding right before our eyes and explains how the American government can avoid it while maintaining its position of strength and support for its allies. 1930

As Bible in the News is in progress, another dramatic night is exploding in the Middle East. Yemen attacked Israel again. Israel responded with a targeted assassination. The Houthis Chief of Staff and his deputies were assassinated. Israel is responding to Iran’s indiscriminate missile attacks on civilian centers in Israel. Tehran is burning. Welcome to Bible in the News, this is David Billington with you.

As civil war erupted in Yemen, Mokhtar Alkhanshali found himself imprisoned, with $5,000 stuffed in his underwear and his coffee samples confiscated.

We're only six months into Trump 2.0 and things are getting bad fast. He was looking for a fight. And he found it. Unrest in Los Angeles has been met with a mobilization of troops that few predicted. But your host, Paul Rieckhoff, did.  For five years we've been sounding the alarm. Thinking the unthinkable—that has often come true. From COVID, to Trump refusing to leave office, to the January 6th insurrection, to armed violence and now troops in the streets—-this is one episode you can't afford to miss. And in times like these you need to hear from voices of experience, voices of calm, and voices of reason. Barbara Starr is all that and more and she joins Paul for a no bullshit look at where we are—and where we are going. She's a renowned journalist, an Emmy award winning producer, and a former CNN Pentagon correspondent. She spent 21 years reporting from hotspots including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, the Horn of Africa and the Chinese-North Korean border and is one of the most recognizable faces in conflict reporting. She's reported extensively on fallen and wounded troops, as well as the plight of homeless veterans. She's seen and covered it all.

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 and political reporter Tal Schneider join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and Defense Minister Israel Katz agreed on Israel’s response to Hamas’s counter-offer to a US proposal for a hostage-ceasefire deal at their meeting yesterday, Army Radio reports. The response has been forwarded to mediators, the report says. Officials are now awaiting the terror group’s response, but in the meantime, fighting continues on the ground in Gaza. Fabian fills us in. In a first, Israeli Navy missile boats on Tuesday morning launched strikes against infrastructure at the Houthi-controlled port of Hodeida in western Yemen. Fabian explains the pros and cons of using the naval forces instead of the air force for similar future attacks. The UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway said Tuesday that they would freeze assets and bar the entry of National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich for having “incited extremist violence” against Palestinians in the West Bank. Schneider weighs in on all the various diplomatic efforts on the table designed to pressure Israel to stop the Gaza war, including the upcoming conference in New York co-sponsored by France and Saudi Arabia on the topic of the two-state solution. Leaders of opposition parties decided this morning to submit a private bill to dissolve the Knesset, starting the process of four votes that may -- or may not -- lead to new elections. Schneider dives into the thorny topic and explains the forces pulling strings behind the scenes. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

It's Wednesday, June 11th, 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 Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Islamic legal system discourages Christian conversion in Brunei, Iran & Yemen Christians face significant persecution in countries that follow Sharia law like Brunei, Iran, and Yemen.  The Islamic legal system is used to ban people from converting out of Islam to another religion.  International Christian Concern notes, “The abuse inflicted upon the Christians of these nations is an open secret.  … Forcing Christians into prisons — often under the guise of slanderous accusations, sexually assaulting Christian women, and forcing Christ followers into demeaning work has become commonplace in far too many nations.” Muslims experienced highest growth rate among religions Pew Research released a report on the growth of religious groups in the world between 2010 and 2020. All religious groups except Buddhists increased numerically during the time frame. Muslims grew the most, followed by the religiously unaffiliated. Christians increased by about five percent from 2.1 billion to 2.3 billion people.  As a share of the global population, only Muslims and the religiously unaffiliated experienced growth. Christians and Buddhists decreased as a share of the global population while Hindus, Jews, and other religions held steady. Muslims have a notably higher fertility rate than other religious groups around the world. Supreme Court affirmed right of Catholic group to tax exemption In the United States, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of a Catholic nonprofit last Thursday. The state of Wisconsin had denied a tax exemption for the Catholic Charities Bureau in 2016. The case went before the state Supreme Court which ruled against the nonprofit.  Nick Reaves, an attorney at Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, commented on the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling. He said, “When every justice agrees and says ‘Yes, this is foundational to our understanding of religious freedom, that you can't discriminate among religions,' that's really exciting for us.” RFK Jr. replaced entire Advisory Committee on Immunization The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is replacing the 17 members of the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices. The committee makes vaccine recommendations to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Biden administration had appointed all 17 members. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. stated, “A clean sweep is necessary to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science. ACIP's new members will prioritize public health and evidence-based medicine. The Committee will no longer function as a rubber stamp for industry profit-taking agendas.” The younger the kids of divorce, the worse the trauma The National Bureau of Economic Research released a report last month about the effects of divorce on children. The study noted that nearly a third of American children experience parental divorce before adulthood. Children had more negative outcomes the younger they were when the divorce occurred.  Researchers wrote, “We find that parental divorce reduces children's adult earnings and college residence while increasing incarceration, mortality, and teen births.” Speaking of husband and wife, in Matthew 19:6, Jesus said, “So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man separate.” Trump: We “will always defend right of every American to worship God freely” The White House released a presidential message on Pentecost Sunday this week. The message from President Donald Trump said, “Today, I join in prayer with Christians joyfully celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost—one of the most sacred events of the Christian faith. We commemorate the fulfillment of Jesus Christ's earthly mission and the birth of His holy and living Church. "As we celebrate this glorious feast day, we also honor all Christians who, like the Apostles, have willingly endured persecution because of their faith.  My Administration will always defend the right of every American to worship God freely and without fear.” On the day of Pentecost, the Apostle Peter said,  “Repent, and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38) Lesson from The American Miracle movie: “God governs in the affairs of men” If you have not yet seen The American Miracle, the new docudrama about God's providential hand in America's founding, then get tickets to see it tonight.  And bring a bunch of your friends with you. It's the last day it will be in the theaters. Actress Lauren Lael portrayed the daughter of a slave named Elizabeth “Mumbet” Freeman who was portrayed by Christian singer Nicole C. Mullen. Remarkably, the slave won her freedom in a Massachusetts court on August 22, 1781.  This is what Lauren Lael said. LAEL: “I think that one of the biggest Biblical themes that The American Miracle embodies is, I think, a spirit of integrity and a message of hope and a message also of connectedness, that really exalts God. This is such a pivotal time that this type of message needs to come out.” People who have seen the film have been reminded afresh of God's intervention in American history. TESTIMONIAL 1: “Something that I've learned in the film tonight is that we cannot underestimate how great our God is and how powerful He is, and how much He does govern the affairs of men." TESTIMONIAL 2: "It really reminded me how great our country is, because the Lord ordained America to be great.” TESTIMONIAL 3:  “I enjoyed it immensely. And I thought, if there's ever been any doubt about the faith and the beliefs of our founders, then this movie clears all that up and lets you know that, yes, they believed that God governs in the affairs of men.” Watch the trailer.

Those 18 Worldview listeners gave a total of $9,129.  Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $ 23,800.20 (People clapping sound effect) That means we still need to raise $37,949.80  by this Friday, June 13th to hit the half-way mark, to stay on the air, and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. In an audience of this size, I know that there is someone who could fund half of that amount with a one-time gift of $18,974.90. A couple of you could give a one-time gift of $5,000.  If you were one of 8 more people who could give a one-time gift of $1,000, Scooter in Naples, Florida will match you with a corresponding $1,000 gift. Could 10 of you pledge $100 per month for 12 months? And another 20 of you pledge $50/month for 12 months?  We could knock this annual budget out of the park overnight if everyone did something.

AP correspondent Charles de Ledesma reports Israel has widened the Middle East conflict by hitting Yemen port facilities.

Janes analysts James Trigg and Aparna Iyer join Sean Corbett and Kate Cox to discuss the strategic depths of Yemen's role in global security. They unpack the complex military, political, and regional dynamics shaping this pivotal Middle Eastern country and how Yemen's conflict influences international shipping lanes, serves as a battleground for proxy wars, and impacts the delicate balance of power in the region. James and Aparna also discuss the challenges and techniques they use to monitor such a fluid situation.

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a so-called ‘Maryland dad' was sent to an El Salvador prison and brought back to the U.S. today by AG Pam Bondi to face criminal charges. Despite evidence of his crimes, including human trafficking and domestic violence, Democrats, media, and some judges defended him, claiming Trump acted dictatorially and that Garcia lacked due process. They lied; he got due process with an immigration judge and an immigration board. Senators Chris Van Hollen and his Democrats still publicly supported him. How will we ever get this country under control given that the Democrat Party hates America?  Rep Jamie Raskin argues that even under the Alien Enemies Act, due process is necessary, referencing a D.C. Circuit judge who noted that Nazi saboteurs in the U.S. during World War II received due process hearings as a historical precedent for legal fairness. This is the example that Raskin uses? The Nazis had a trial and were executed in less than 3 months.  Also, the FBI and DHS are highlighting threats to Jewish and Israeli communities. It's interesting all the violence goes one way. You don't see Jews trying to kill Palestinians. This is what open borders and the Democrat party gets you. Afterward, there's a hit piece out on the Director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office Sergio Gor. The piece claims that Gor influenced Trump to withdraw Jared Isaacman's nomination as NASA administrator, allegedly to target Elon Musk, who recommended Isaacman. However, the withdrawal stemmed from Isaacman's donations to Democrats, including $100,000 to a Schumer-aligned PAC, $50,000 to Josh Shapiro's campaign, and other Democratic contributions, with no support for Trump until after the election. This background made Isaacman unsuitable for a key role in a Republican administration.  Later, Iran reportedly ordered thousands of tons of ballistic missile components from China, potentially enabling the production of around 800 missiles. Iran is stalling nuclear negotiations with the U.S. while bolstering its missile capabilities and supplying groups like the Houthis in Yemen.  These actions, supported by China, are efforts to undermine Israel and Western interests.  Finally, Mark honors the 81st anniversary of D-Day. If we had lost on D-Day we would have lost WW2. The casualties were enormous, yet these brave young men put their lives on the line, many knowing they would die. Learn more about your ad choices.

Mokhtar Alkhanshali was a doorman in San Francisco when he saw a statue that changed his life. The statue was of an Arab man holding a cup of coffee, and it led Mokhtar to learn about the origins of coffee, in Yemen, where his family is from. While coffee's roots in Yemen run deep, Mokhtar learned that present-day Yemeni coffee was hard to source, and the quality was inconsistent. But when it was good, some experts said it was the best they had ever tasted. Mokhtar saw an opportunity to start his own coffee company, and help Yemeni farmers in the process. But just as he was getting started, war broke out in Yemen, and Mokhtar found himself stranded there.This episode originally aired on October 3, 2022, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Tracey Samuelson, and Jared O'Connell.

It's Friday, June 6th, 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 Nigerian Muslims killed 9 Christians On June 1st and 2nd, Fulani Muslim herdsmen killed at least nine Christians in Plateau State, Nigeria, following the slaughter of 27 others days before, reports Morning Star News. The attacks took place in Bokkos County in predominantly Christian communities. Emmanuel Auta, a local resident, said, “Christians [are] being butchered.” Another resident, Lilian Madaki, said, “Among some of the Christian victims that I know is a 14-year-old Christian teenager who was shot and wounded and is currently being treated at a hospital.” And, in a text to Christian Daily International, Yakubu Kefas wrote,  “The attackers, who we believe are Fulani terrorists, are carrying out indiscriminate shootings, killings, and large-scale arson, resulting in widespread terror, Christian casualties, and destruction of property.” Please pray for our suffering brothers and sisters in Christ in Plateau State, Nigeria. Proverbs 21:15 says, “When justice is done, it brings joy to the righteous but terror to evildoers.” Trump bans new visas for foreign nationals from 12 countries On June 4, President Donald Trump issued a full suspension on new visas for foreign nationals from a dozen countries applying for entry to the United States and a partial suspension on nationals from another seven, reports TheEpochTimes.com. The proclamation is set to go into effect at 12:01 a.m. ET on June 9. A full suspension will go into effect for nationals from Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen. A partial suspension will affect nationals from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan, and Venezuela. This executive action comes after the Secretary of State and assistant to the president on Homeland Security filed a report on April 9 identifying countries with such deficient vetting and screening information that a full or partial suspension of entry for their nationals was warranted. ‘60 Minutes' anchor Scott Pelley ripped for "angry, unhinged" speech criticizing Trump Outraged critics blasted longtime CBS “60 Minutes” anchor Scott Pelley as “angry” and “unhinged” after he delivered a fear-baced tirade against President Donald Trump during a commencement speech in North Carolina, reports the New York Post. The CBS newscaster warned Wake Forest University's graduating class on May 19 that “insidious fear” has infiltrated schools, businesses, and homes across the nation — leaving America in a state of “peril.” Listen. PELLEY:  “In this moment, our sacred rule of law is under attack. Journalism is under attack. Universities are under attack. Freedom of speech is under attack, and insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes.” Scott Jennings, the conservative commentator on CNN, called Pelley out for such a ridiculous statement. JENNINGS: “On the free speech issue, I don't know what America Scott Pelley is living in. We have more speech now than ever. There is no problem with free speech in America. What we do have a problem with are people who don't speak truthfully, who are interested more in narratives than truth, and who are using what used to be journalism for activism. We do have a problem with that.” Jennings asserted that 60 Minutes on CBS is a platform that is more interested in a leftist narrative than the truth. JENNINGS: “If you've watched 60 Minutes for five minutes over the last several years, you would know it's not fair. This is one of the shows, this is one of the outlets that conservatives would point to most often to say: ‘This is the state of American journalism. It's only here to try to hurt Republicans, hurt conservatives, hurt Donald Trump.'” Painting of Jesus returned to prominent location at naval academy U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced that he is restoring an historic painting of Jesus Christ to its place of prominence at the Merchant Marine Academy in Kings Point, New York, after it had been taken down by Biden-era officials, reports LifeSiteNews.com. Known as “Christ on the water,” the painting depicts Jesus walking on the water in stormy seas toward merchant seamen adrift in a lifeboat, presumably after being torpedoed.  DUFFY: “We are moving Jesus out of the basement. To all the great midshipmen at the Merchant Marine Academy, you let me know how important this painting was to all of you. Now, we all know it was taken out of a place of prominence and put it down in the basement. “I worked with the Academy, and because this is such a historic painting, I'm announcing that through that work with the Academy, this painting is going to go from the basement back to its place of prominence. It'll be a moment to celebrate.” It was painted by Lieutenant Hunter Wood in 1944 as a tribute to all merchant seamen who had been torpedoed during World War II. Actor Kevin Sorbo champions U.S. Christian heritage in new movie In the new docudrama called The American Miracle, historian Paul Kengor, one of 14 historians, captures how pivotal the Declaration of Independence and the subsequent American Revolution was for the world. KENGOR: “America in 1776: This is a watershed event in history. If you were to pick something over the last 450 years, four and a half centuries or so, that truly transformed humanity and the full scope of history, it was 1776.” The American Miracle movie will hit 1,000 screens across America on three days only – Monday, June 9th, Tuesday, June 10th, and Wednesday, June 11th. The actor who plays Benjamin Franklin – Barry Stevens -- is spot on in terms of appearance and disposition alike. FRANKLIN: “We have been assured, sir, in the sacred writings, that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.” Kevin Sorbo, who portrays the younger Thomas Jefferson, is an enthusiastic advocate that Americans know their own history. SORBO: “I think there's not enough history being taught in America anymore. I think people forget about what our Founding Fathers did for this country. Documentaries like this, I think, can help heal a nation, as corny as that sounds. I really do think it's important to learn history.” And Pastor Darnell Harper of New Covenant Temple, who screened The American Miracle before its June 9th national release, was amazed to witness God's divine intervention in America. HARPER: “I went to history class. I did not learn that God was in the middle of everything that was going on with the birth of our nation, the Constitution, and it just showed the handiwork of God and how God was establishing the United States of America.” Acts 17:26 says, “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole Earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.” Go to https://americanmiraclemovie.com/, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, and type in your zipcode to purchase tickets at a movie theater near you to see it on June 9, 10 or 11.

Those 12 Worldview listeners gave a total of $4,575. Ready for our new grand total? Drum roll please.  (Drum roll sound effect) $10,927 (People clapping sound effect)  We missed our goal of 20 donors by 8 donors. That means by midnight tonight, Friday, June 6th, we still need to raise $19,948. If you, and 19 other listeners, would invest $100 per month for 12 months to help underwrite the cost of the 6-member Worldview news team, we will have funded one-fourth of our annual budget.  Help us reach this $30,875 goal. However, if that's not affordable, then do something.  Even if you pledge just $10/month for 12 months, that's a whopping $120!   No gift is too small or too large as we continue to provide a news source that is accurate and Biblically based. Just go to TheWorldview.com and click on Give on the top right.   And click on the button that indicates a recurring donation if you want to give monthly.

Democrats in total grief over the loss of the cherished family. They're just innocent illegal immigrants. Okay. Yeah. They overstayed their abuses too, but we gotta keep them. I mean, one of them is, like, four. The rest are like teens and stuff. We have to wait to keep them. They're they're they're future Democrat voters. There's Sunni Muslims. They vote 92% Democrat. I mean, it's not fair. It's not fair. We can't do this anymore when a judge agrees what the the family gets to say. Are you kidding me? Are you kidding me? Is this a joke? And folks, Bunchy over at Red State absolutely nails this this morning. How Trump has come out with the travel ban? He's right. He says this isn't complicated. If judges are going to make it impossible to deport deport visa overstays from Islamist countries, then the only alternative is to stop issuing visas to those countries completely. That's exactly what Trump did yesterday. We're we're just done here. We don't have time for Democrat judicial dictators to say this terrorists can say and this terrorist can say, and you might be a terrorist. But let's think about what the Democrat party is proposing here. Okay? Come on. Is it really fair to pick on his family? I mean, some of them are women. I mean, yeah, they're here illegally, and, yeah, their first act was to break our laws. But, you know, you know, are they just because dad decided to take a flame thrower to some Jews does not mean they're bad people. You know what's interesting about this? The number one trending story this morning on that app we have, we pay a lot of money for us so we could see what the top stories in the country are. It was a story that was popular mainly with women, and it was why is Trump blocking people from other countries. God, women are just like they're like, shit. I swear so many women are like sheep to the slaughter. Why are we in this line? I don't know. What's that bolt gun for? I don't know, Roger. I'm sure it's nothing. We're like sleep sheep to the slaughter. Why would he do that? Why can't people from Yemen come here? Oh, you mean the country with the Houthis? The ones who've been who've revived piracy and are launching, you know, drone missiles at our ships, those people? The ones with the terror training camps that we just annihilated? Yeah. They seem really nice. I mean, they do fine here. Oh, we're weak. I want you to understand why we cannot allow the family of the Colorado terrorist to stay in our country. You want to see it for yourself, you can go on my x feed. This is him driving to the slaughter. He leaves a message for his family, giving us a nice insight. You know what might have been going on in his home? Did he just randomly one day decide to incinerate some Jews? Because what's going on in Gaza is really unfair. He saw they were children. He saw there was a grandmother. It turns out she's a holocaust survivor. No. No. No. He didn't. He made it clear to his family. The message was for his family. He hates America. He hates our military. Jihad is the only way. And Allah wants us to kill Jews. How many times did his kids hear that? He seems pretty committed. Here, I'll translate for you. Allah is greater than anything. Allah is greater than the Zionist. Allah is greater than America and its weapons. Allah is greater than f 35 planes. Allah is greater than everything else. So why do we fear those who are inferior to Allah rather than fear Allah himself? I told my wife and son every day to do this, to do something, but they didn't do it. I would be angry. Maybe I would divorce my wife. Maybe what I would kick my son out of my home. What's the next line, folks? Then what about Allah who says to us every day dozens of times, Allahu Akbar. Allah wants jihad. He's talking to his kids. Do not forget Allah Akbar. Do not forget that Allah is greater than everything, he says. Not Zionist America, Britain, France, or Germany. Only a law has the right to be feared, he says. Again ...
