Transcript [00:00] Iran is rebuilding the nuclear facility [00:02] that Israel attacked. Reconstruction [00:05] work has been uncovered at the secret [00:08] nuclear research complex in Tehran that [00:11] the Israeli Air Force struck in March. [00:15] And is Iran making progress with its [00:17] nuclear program? [00:19] Iran they conducted a massive missile [00:22] exercise involving drones and fighter [00:25] jets. And in response, Israel launched [00:28] an exercise designed to blind the radar. [00:32] The Israeli F-35 exercise in the Iranian [00:36] skies has been revealed. [00:38] So, do all the signs point to a second [00:41] round of war with Iran? The United [00:44] States is bringing refueling aircrafts [00:47] back to this region. [00:49] An oil tanker is burning in the Straits [00:51] of Hammuz following an Iranian attack. [00:54] Are we approaching the next phase of the [00:56] war with Iran? Today, we'll bring you [00:59] the details of the extraordinary [01:02] document circulated with the United [01:05] States military [01:07] and tensions. They're running high here [01:09] in Israel. Will Israel strike Yemen and [01:12] the Houthis? Saudi Arabia is facing [01:15] difficult decisions following the [01:17] repeated Houthi attacks. [01:20] And why is the Saudi Crown Prince hiding [01:23] in the bunker and desperately searching [01:25] for interceptor missiles? [01:28] Today, we'll show you the new reality [01:30] facing Muhammad bin Salman. And [01:33] meanwhile, the Israeli officials suspect [01:36] that Iran's coups force is working to [01:39] carry out terrorist attacks from Lebanon [01:42] into Syria. [01:44] I'm Pinto and I'm joined by Mati [01:47] Shashani and we are boots on the ground. [01:50] We bring you the full truth about what [01:51] is happening in Israel and the full [01:53] truth about what is happening in our [01:55] neighborhood, the Middle East. Today is [01:58] October 12th. So, let's get started [02:01] because today's report it's made [02:03] possible by our partner Mandanda Vida [02:05] Dome that are providing lifesaving [02:08] emergency medical care to communities [02:11] all across Israel. We will tell you more [02:14] about their work later in today's [02:16] report. In the meantime, you can visit [02:19] savelifeisrael.com. [02:23] If you want to understand just how close [02:25] this region is getting to another war, [02:28] you'll need to start in the skies over [02:30] Iran. The IDF is preparing for the [02:33] possibility of renewed fighting with [02:34] Iran. [02:36] It's important to understand that the [02:38] situation is very complicated. A [02:40] military official said this week that [02:42] the situation with Iran is like a long [02:45] corridor with peace at one end and war [02:49] at the other. And according to reports [02:52] the reports that are published over the [02:53] weekend, Israeli F-35 I fighter jets [02:57] they participated in penetrating deep [03:00] into the Iranian airspace. This is while [03:03] American aerial refueling [03:05] they support the operations from Iraq. [03:09] The most dramatic part was an electronic [03:12] warfare exercise designed to disrupt and [03:14] even blind the Iranian radar systems. In [03:18] simple terms, penetrate deep into the [03:20] enemy territory. Take away the enemy's [03:23] ability to see what's happening in the [03:25] skies, remain positioned above the [03:28] targets, and clear the way for the next [03:31] wave of strikes. [03:33] Then then Iran responded with a show of [03:36] force of its own. Within hours, there [03:38] were reports of a test involving [03:40] approximately 30 ballistic missiles that [03:43] were launched from several bases across [03:45] the country. This is alongside drone [03:48] operations, fighter jet activities, and [03:51] tests of air defensive systems. Thran [03:54] wanted to send a message. You may know [03:57] how to get in, but we still know how to [04:00] shoot back. And this is now much more [04:03] than just a war of messages. The [04:05] Pentagon has instructed Sentcom to [04:08] complete preparations for renewed [04:10] largescale fighting while Washington has [04:13] also examined a plan for a short but [04:16] intensive military campaign targeting [04:19] Iran's missile and drone systems. And [04:22] meanwhile, Israel is closely monitoring [04:25] the rapid rebuilding of those very same [04:27] capabilities. [04:29] And Iran is already warning that if [04:32] fighting resumes, it will reveal new [04:35] capabilities and target American assets [04:38] in this region as well. And according to [04:40] the British Navy, Thran has stepped up [04:43] its attacks on vessels around the Strait [04:45] of Hummus with at least 10 ships that [04:48] were hit over the past week. The attacks [04:51] involved missiles and drones produced at [04:54] Iranian facilities. Iran is continuing [04:57] to harden its position towards the [04:58] United States. Mushin Razid, the [05:01] secretary general of Iran's Supreme [05:04] National Security Council, he announced [05:06] yesterday on Sunday that Washington had [05:10] delivered its response to the seven [05:12] conditions set out by Thran during [05:15] negotiations between the two sides. And [05:17] meanwhile, he said that the American [05:19] response did not meet the regime's [05:21] demands. [05:23] The Americans responded to the seven [05:25] conditions that we presented but their [05:27] response is not satisfactory. Razi said [05:31] according to him some issues have been [05:34] addressed but matters that Iran [05:36] considers essential. They remain [05:39] unresolved. [05:41] And that's before we even get to Riyad [05:44] where the war is no longer just an [05:46] exercise and Iran's proxy appears to [05:48] have pushed the limits to the breaking [05:50] point. Saudi Arabia is no longer dealing [05:54] with an isolated threat. It is facing a [05:57] real test of war. The kingdom is [06:00] confronting one of its most difficult [06:02] security and economic decisions in years [06:06] following Saturday's deadly missile [06:08] attack against the King Khaled [06:10] International Airport in Riyad. in what [06:13] was described as the deadliest attack on [06:16] Saudi territory in more than a decade. [06:19] At least 12 people were killed, [06:21] including an American citizen and [06:23] hundreds more were injured. And at the [06:26] same time, a ballistic missile heading [06:28] towards Kamish Mushi was intercepted. An [06:32] alert was also issued in the Abbach area [06:35] and the Houthis signaling that Saudi [06:37] airports they remain on their target [06:39] list. Riyad is already responding with [06:42] strikes in Yemen, but its dilemma is [06:45] becoming increasingly serious. [06:49] Continue fighting from the air or risk [06:51] being drawn into a prolonged campaign [06:54] against a force that has grown stronger, [06:57] possesses missiles and drones, and can [07:00] threaten both Saudi oil infrastructure [07:03] and the Bab Elmandab Strait. And the [07:06] pressure is now reaching the highest [07:08] levels of the Saudi leadership. [07:11] According to reports, Muhammad bid [07:13] Salman is moving between fortified [07:16] places and palaces while the kingdom [07:18] relocates its air defenses batteries [07:21] from one location to another and [07:24] urgently searches for additional [07:25] interceptor missiles. The Houthis have [07:28] already made it clear that airports [07:30] remain targets. And on Sunday, another [07:34] projectile struck Terminal 4 in Riyad [07:37] just one day after the deadly attack. [07:40] Saudi Arabia is now turning to other [07:42] countries other countries for support. [07:46] Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt, they have [07:48] declared their support for the steps [07:50] that Riyad may take while Britain has [07:53] already offered defensive assistance. [07:55] But at the same time, Thran is offering [07:58] to mediate even as the Iranianbacked [08:01] Houthi continues firing. So this leaves [08:04] bin Salman facing a difficult choice. [08:07] Expand the war in Yemen or try to stop [08:11] before the damage spreads beyond the [08:13] aviation and the oil to the Saudi [08:15] economy itself. [08:18] And now Israel enters this picture [08:19] because according to the reports [08:21] American officials discussed with the [08:23] IDF chief of staff Zamir this week [08:26] whether the Israeli military could carry [08:28] out strikes against the Houthis or not. [08:31] Zamir warned that such a move could [08:33] trigger an escalation with Yemen and [08:36] possibly with Iran as well. And inside [08:38] Lebanon, a disturbing case is emerging [08:41] at the precisely the moment when [08:43] pressure is growing through this armed [08:46] terrorist organization. [08:49] Over the weekend, the Lebanese security [08:52] forces, they stopped the vehicle in the [08:54] Becca Valley, a vehicle that was heading [08:57] towards the Da district of Beirut. [09:00] Inside this vehicle were [09:04] dozens of kilograms of explosives, [09:07] nails, and also metal balls designed to [09:11] increase the destructive impact of an [09:16] explosive [09:18] with sharpener. So, the two suspects [09:21] that were arrested were members of the [09:23] terrorist organization. and [09:25] investigators, they're examining who [09:28] ordered the explosives to be transported [09:31] and what their final destination was [09:33] supposed to be. And meanwhile, political [09:36] figures in Lebanon, they claim that is [09:39] applying pressure to cover up the case. [09:42] They're warning that the organization is [09:43] preparing for the possibility of [09:45] assassinations and explosions in Beirut [09:49] if domestic pressure against [09:52] intensifies. [09:54] So all of this is happening during [09:56] diplomatic negotiations in which is [10:00] being called upon to give up weapons [10:03] that remain outside the state's control. [10:06] Do you understand what this means? [10:09] It means that the suspicion is that an [10:11] Iranian-backed terrorist organization [10:13] was attempting to carry out a deadly [10:15] attack against the people of Lebanon [10:19] simply because they decided that they no [10:22] longer want to live under Iran's [10:24] control. [10:26] And in the Gaza Strip, the IDF continues [10:28] to push back against the Hamas terrorist [10:30] organization. And this is following [10:32] hostile activity by Kamas terrorists. [10:35] The IDF moved the yellow line several [10:37] dozens meters further inward while [10:39] Israel maintains control over [10:41] approximately 64% of the Gaza Strip with [10:44] two divisions and around 30 military [10:47] positions. Meanwhile, the IDF and the [10:50] Shinbet struck an observation command [10:52] center, a launch site, and three weapons [10:55] storage facilities. They also eliminated [10:58] a Nukema commander who participated in [11:01] the assault on the Kisufim and had [11:03] recently been working to rebuild Kamas's [11:06] military capabilities in the Gaza Strip. [11:09] But the Hamas terrorist organization is [11:11] still trying to reorganize. A security [11:14] official claims that the group is [11:15] recruiting teenagers for accelerated [11:18] training and preparing for a planned [11:21] offensive while the IDF is once again [11:23] presenting evidence of Hamas's military [11:26] activities around the Kamel Adwan [11:28] hospital. In other words, Hamas is being [11:31] worn down, but the battle over what [11:34] comes next in Gaza is still far from [11:37] over. So, we have a lot ahead of us. So, [11:40] let's dive into the details. I'm Pinto [11:42] joined by Mati Shashani and we are here [11:45] boots on the ground bringing you the [11:47] full truth about what's happening in [11:49] Israel and in this war against the [11:51] revolutionary guards in Iran which is [11:53] the driving force behind all of this [11:56] axis of evil in the Middle East.

During the [12:17] ongoing conflict, Magenda Vidom has been [12:20] at the forefront providing critical [12:23] emergency medical services under [12:25] unprecedented conditions. On October 7, [12:29] 2023, as hostilities escalated, Mandanda [12:32] Vidad mobilized over 10,000 first [12:34] responders who bravely administered [12:37] life-saving care amidst multiple [12:41] unbelievable circumstances. And in [12:43] response to these challenges, the teams [12:46] of magna vida do they launched the man [12:50] teams project which means training [12:54] thousands of community members, [12:56] municipal workers and also security [12:58] personnel to deliver immediate medical [13:01] assistance in their localities. So this [13:05] initiative it ensures rapid response [13:08] even when professional medical teams [13:10] they face delays due to the ongoing [13:12] threats. [13:13] However sustaining and also expanding [13:16] such vital services it requires [13:18] continuous support. Your contributions [13:21] they enable me to equip their teams with [13:25] the necessary tools and the resources to [13:27] respond effectively to emergencies all [13:30] across the country. Together we can make [13:33] a difference. So if you want to save [13:35] lives in Israel, please visit the [13:38] websiteisrael.com. [13:41] Okay, save.com. [13:43] Support Mead [13:45] and us here in Israel. [13:48] And now let's turn to our Middle East [13:51] senior correspondent, Mati Shosani. [13:54] Martin is the real story not simply that [13:57] Iran is rebuilding a nuclear facility, [14:00] but that it's trying to learn from the [14:02] Israeli strike and then develop a [14:04] nuclear program that actually can [14:06] survive the next round of fighting. [14:09] >> The Iranian nuclear plan is a race and [14:11] not a sprint. It's a long-term type of [14:14] race. Iran, on the one hand, continues [14:17] to try again and again over decades to [14:21] try and break through and be able to [14:23] pull together the components needed to [14:25] create a nuclear arsenal that they can [14:28] use, according to their claims, against [14:30] Israel and against the United States. We [14:33] see this manifested in their ongoing [14:36] desires to reestablish and rebuild their [14:38] centrifuge facilities, in their [14:40] long-term ballistic missile plan, in the [14:42] fact that they've spent billions and [14:44] billions of dollars on a military [14:46] nuclear program. And all of that is once [14:48] again coming to a head. Why? Because [14:51] Israel together with the United States [14:53] twice in the last 12 months, a little [14:55] more, 15 months, has caused substantial [14:58] destruction and setback to the Iranian [15:00] nuclear military program. We did it back [15:03] in [15:04] the midnight hammer operation in June of [15:06] 2025. We did it again in Epic Fury this [15:09] year. And it's an ongoing campaign to [15:12] slow down and break down the Iranian [15:13] nuclear program. But the Iranians don't [15:16] just stop when they're attacked. They [15:18] have a learning curve. And in that [15:19] learning curve, they look at what Israel [15:21] is doing. They look at what the US is [15:23] doing and they try to reiterate. Pickax [15:26] Mountain is exactly that. Pickax [15:28] Mountain is a secretive facility in [15:31] which they're reverse engineering what [15:33] the US and Israel were able to penetrate [15:35] over the last year and a half and trying [15:37] to build a facility where we can't reach [15:40] those same facilities. So if the [15:42] American bunker busters, and I'm just [15:43] throwing numbers here, can penetrate 200 [15:46] ft of soil and x amount of feet of [15:49] reinforced concrete, well, they're going [15:50] to go deeper than that to make sure that [15:52] the penetration doesn't happen the next [15:55] time. And that's what we're witnessing [15:56] right now. They looked at the BDA, the [15:59] bombing damage assessment of what [16:01] happened in previous attacks, and they [16:04] said to themselves, "Look, let's just [16:05] reverse engineer this. If Israel was [16:07] able to find them when we had this type [16:09] of intel and intelligence leaking to [16:11] them, let's try and hide the information [16:14] this way. if the IAEA was able to stop [16:16] us or slow us down when we gave them [16:19] access to this type of information, so [16:21] let's give them no access because this [16:23] will lead to that. It really is a cat [16:26] and mouse game, an ongoing one, and has [16:29] been for well over 20 years at this [16:30] point where the Iranians push for [16:32] nuclear capabilities. They try to do it [16:35] in hiding and when they're caught, they [16:37] try to lie about it. And when they're [16:38] caught lying about it, they try to claim [16:40] that it was for different purposes again [16:43] and again and again. It's the same game. [16:45] It's Iran pushing for a bomb and Israel [16:48] and the United States trying to stop [16:50] them. This game only ends one of two [16:52] ways. It ends with them reaching a bomb, [16:55] which is a terrible outcome for Israeli [16:57] perspective, or it ends with a regime [17:00] changing in Iran because barring that, [17:02] they'll continue pushing for nuclear [17:04] military capabilities. We've seen them [17:06] do it time and time again. They've spent [17:08] an absurd fortune on this, and there's [17:11] no reason to think they'll stop unless [17:14] we prevent them from pursuing it again. [17:17] >> Mati, is Saudi Arabia facing its moment [17:19] of truth? [17:22] Does it prove that it is a regional [17:25] power or proves that even a small [17:28] Iranian proxy like the Houthis in Yemen [17:30] can force the Saudi crown prince into a [17:33] bunker? Saudi Arabia is in a very tricky [17:36] place. MBS Muhammad bin Salman, the [17:40] leader of Saudi Arabia, is the leader of [17:42] the country with a clear purpose to [17:44] create a new Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia [17:47] that is strong, that is independent, and [17:49] that has income sources that are not [17:51] only dependent on selling oil to the [17:54] west. And part of that is projecting [17:57] power on a military level and as a [17:59] regional power. And here really lies the [18:02] big problem that Saudi is facing. In the [18:05] past, we're talking back in the '90s, [18:07] they relied to a certain degree on [18:08] American help. They asked for American [18:10] presidents, boots on the ground during [18:12] the first Iraq war. uh they've called on [18:15] other countries to help them several [18:16] times and here they're playing this [18:18] really bizarre balance where they want [18:20] to project power. They want to show that [18:21] they are a regional superpower not just [18:24] a localized power or kingdom and at the [18:27] same time while that's happening they're [18:29] facing an issue and the issue is very [18:31] very severe in Yemen. They're unable to [18:34] beat the Houthis. And not only are they [18:36] unable to beat them in Yemen, the [18:38] Houthis, which is this rag tag to a [18:40] certain degree terrorist organization, [18:42] well, they're fully terrorist [18:43] organization. They're to a certain [18:44] degree rag tag. They're able to hit [18:47] targets deep inside of Saudi, including [18:50] their airport. And those images, believe [18:52] me, are not a mistake and they're not [18:54] accidental. uh the images of missiles [18:57] hitting Saudi airspace, hitting Saudi [19:00] airports again and again, multiple times [19:02] in one week. They are there to send a [19:04] message to the world. Saudi is not as [19:06] strong as they claim to be. They're not [19:08] a regional power as they claim to be. [19:11] They can't stop the attacks coming from [19:13] the Houthis and other Iranian proxies as [19:16] they claim they would be able to. And [19:18] that is an ongoing and substantial [19:20] problem from the Saudi perspective, [19:23] especially as they're perceived by [19:25] others. But it goes deeper. They're [19:27] playing this really bizarre double game [19:30] right now where on the one hand they're [19:32] partnering with who? With Israel and the [19:35] United States on weapon systems, on [19:37] defense packs, etc. There's talk of them [19:39] joining the the Abraham Accords, but [19:41] they've also signed a different treaty, [19:43] a treaty called the Mecca Treaty, which [19:44] is Pakistan and Turkey. And in that [19:48] treaty, [19:50] the Pakistani army now has boots on the [19:52] ground inside of Saudi Arabia. But if [19:55] Saudi Arabia is so strong, so resilient, [19:58] and such a superpower, why doesn't any [20:01] Pakistani troops on the ground in Saudi [20:04] Arabia? You see the catch over here? [20:06] This is really where they are. They want [20:08] to be up here. We're the top dogs. We [20:10] project power. We are the hajimones. [20:12] We're the controlling factor in this [20:15] region. and they can't stop the [20:17] Houthies. So, they're in a very [20:19] uncomfortable catch. And the catch is [20:21] this. They must alone show victory over [20:24] the Houthis and stand up to protect [20:26] their borders. And at the same time, [20:28] they must be able to project power into [20:30] the region without asking for help from [20:32] other countries in protecting themselves [20:35] from Houthi attacks, but also from [20:37] Iranian attacks possibly. It's a very [20:40] very well cautious, dangerous and [20:43] hazardous location to be for MBS and for [20:46] the Saudi kingdom that will dramatically [20:48] affect their perception of power, their [20:51] perception of well being the leaders and [20:53] the fathers of the Sunni Islam in years [20:57] to come. and Mati does what has been [21:00] uncovered in Lebanon and Syria suggest [21:03] that the coups force is moving into a [21:05] new phase not just operating multiple [21:09] fronts against Islamabad but also [21:11] creating chaos inside the very countries [21:13] where its proxies are losing control. It [21:16] shouldn't be a surprise to anyone that [21:18] the Iranians export mechanism of [21:20] terrorism, the Kuds force, is trying [21:23] very hard to regenerate and prop up [21:26] terrorism in the countries around the [21:28] region. For decades, this has been their [21:30] methodology. They used the Kuds force, [21:33] Kasimsulmani back in the day uh to try [21:36] and build up terrorism mechanisms in [21:38] Iraq, in Lebanon throughah, in Gaza [21:41] through Hamas, and in countless other [21:43] countries, even in the West. This is how [21:46] they operate. This is how they try to [21:48] affect, to damage, to scare. And right [21:51] now, they're in a very bizarre position. [21:53] They've lost a lot of their proxy power. [21:56] They've lost much of much of kamas, much [21:59] of their ability to move freely in the [22:01] region with the rise of Ashara in Syria [22:04] that really started closing off the [22:06] borders. And when you combine those [22:07] different factors, the fact that on [22:10] their border scheme when it comes to [22:12] being able to project power outside of [22:14] the boundaries of their country, they [22:16] have less of a muscle to flex, that is a [22:18] substantial loss to them. The fact that [22:20] those forces that have had a fortune [22:22] spent on building up their force have [22:25] been eliminated to a great degree or [22:26] weakened to a great degree is too [22:29] substantially damaging to them. And [22:31] because of that, when you combine those [22:33] different factors together, you reach [22:35] the very clear conclusion that the [22:37] Iranians are trying everything in their [22:39] power to on the one hand use power [22:41] through their proxies, but at the same [22:43] time to protect those proxies from [22:46] destruction because once you've lost [22:48] that asset, it'll become very hard to [22:50] rebuild it. We see this difficult [22:53] balance play out in Lebanon. In Lebanon, [22:56] used to be to a certain degree the lords [22:58] of the land. They moved freely. They [23:00] used violence against political [23:01] adversaries and they assassinated those [23:04] who didn't cooperate with them. That's [23:05] no longer the case. There are factions [23:07] within Lebanon that are fighting [23:08] againstah. [23:10] And the export of Iranian terrorism, as [23:13] it plays out throughah and Lebanon, is [23:15] now far more cautious. They try to [23:18] attack their enemies, but they're [23:19] cautious not to burn their assets. They [23:21] try to project power, but not so much to [23:24] the point where it'll be struck by [23:25] Israel or by other forces, leaving them [23:28] without that asset. And you hear this in [23:30] the negotiating rooms when they time and [23:32] time again ask for again and again and [23:35] again the Lebanese proxy theah to be [23:38] part of whatever treaties playing out in [23:40] the region. They did this also recently [23:42] even with the kouthis in Yemen. Their [23:45] goal, their desire is to make these [23:46] proxies last longer, to expend less of [23:50] their resources and manpower and [23:52] weapons, but also to use them to keep [23:54] poking at their enemies and remind them [23:57] that Iran can strike also indirectly and [23:59] not only directly. In in other words, or [24:02] in many words, this is a very very [24:04] precarious place for the Iranians to be [24:07] where their proxies are weaker and yet [24:08] they must use them to project power. [24:11] Time will tell where that goes. Time [24:13] will tell whether they will be able to [24:15] hold on to Lebanon or they've already [24:17] lost their hold overbalah and that [24:19] country. [24:20] >> Thank you so much, Mati. This really [24:22] helps me better understand the [24:24] situation. And I think to all of our [24:26] viewers and to all of you, please help [24:29] us spread the truth. Keep spreading the [24:31] truth. This is how you fight this war. [24:35] The only way to fight lies is with the [24:37] truth. The only way to do it on YouTube [24:39] is to hit the subscribe button. And this [24:41] is how you can help us reach more people [24:43] around the world. Okay, it's free to [24:46] subscribe to TBN Israel on YouTube. Just [24:48] helps us. Let's get back to the news [24:50] because an American fighter jet has [24:53] struck a commercial vessel in the Gulf [24:55] of Oman, disabling its engines as the [24:58] confrontation with Iran just intensifies [25:01] at sea. The Panama flagship Ocean Molika [25:07] was attempting to leave the area after [25:09] adopting an Iranian port. American [25:12] forces say that its crew ignored [25:14] repeated warnings to respect the naval [25:16] blockade. A precision guided weapon hit [25:20] the stern, disabling the propulsion [25:22] system without injuring anyone abroad. [25:26] But why is Washington using military [25:29] force at sea while President Trump is [25:31] publicly promising to avoid another [25:34] major attack on Iran? The answer lies [25:37] somewhere in the blockade. Because the [25:39] United States is trying to prevent Iran [25:41] from freely using its ports while [25:44] maintaining pressure on the [25:45] Revolutionary Guards and Thran's [25:47] military economy. American commandos. [25:50] They say that they have turned back more [25:53] than 130 vessels since enforcement [25:57] resumed in July. Iran is responding by [26:00] making commercial shipping increasingly [26:02] dangerous. A tanker in the Strait of [26:05] Hormuz caught fire after being struck by [26:08] an unidentified projectile. Iranian [26:10] authorities they claimed that the vessel [26:12] had been struck by a naval mine while [26:15] using an unauthorized route. But that [26:18] explanation has not been independently [26:20] confirmed. So the maritime security [26:22] authorities, they reported that the crew [26:25] survived. For international shipping [26:27] companies, the uncertainty is becoming a [26:29] serious problem. Vessels face the risk [26:32] of Iranian attacks, naval mines, delays, [26:35] and American enforcement operations. And [26:37] then inside Iran, the revolutionary [26:39] guards, they're demonstrating that their [26:42] military capabilities have survived [26:45] months of bombardment. [26:48] Over the weekend, reports described a [26:50] large Iranian military exercise [26:53] involving approximately 30 ballistic [26:55] missiles, attack drones, fighter [26:58] aircrafts, and also air defensive [27:00] systems. [27:02] The missiles reportedly included the [27:04] Imad and Khushar families designed to [27:07] carry substantial payloads over long [27:10] distances with some variants reaching [27:12] approximately 2,000 kilometers. [27:15] Shahed 136 attack drones were also [27:18] involved while Iranian fighter aircrafts [27:21] were reported over Tehran and other [27:23] cities. The exact number and the [27:26] classification of these missiles that [27:28] were launched have not been [27:29] independently confirmed either. The [27:32] exercise was designed to show that Iran [27:34] can still conduct coordinated attacks [27:37] despite the damage inflicted on its [27:39] armed forces. And that message is [27:41] particularly important because Western [27:44] assessments suggest that Iran has [27:46] preserved more of its weapons production [27:49] capability than previously believed. [27:52] Missile and drone factories have [27:54] reportedly resumed operations or [27:57] survived earlier attacks. Officials also [28:00] believe that Russian assistance has [28:03] helped Iran maintain supplies and [28:05] rebuild its arsenal. So this challenges [28:09] the earlier American claims that Iran's [28:12] military industrial infrastructure has [28:15] been comprehensively destroyed. For [28:17] Israel, the concern is straightforward. [28:20] Destroying a launcher removes an [28:22] immediate threat. But as long as [28:25] production facilities survive, Iran can [28:28] eventually replace some of the weapons [28:30] that it lost. But meanwhile, reports [28:33] have emerged of Israeli F-35I Adil [28:36] stealth fighters conducting unusual [28:38] flights towards the Iranian airspace. [28:41] The accounts described American [28:43] refueling support over Iraq, including a [28:46] KC46A Pegasus tanker and increases [28:50] involving electronic warfare against the [28:53] Iranian radar systems. [28:55] There has been no public confirmation of [28:58] the full operation that took place, [29:00] particularly whether Israeli aircrafts [29:03] actually enter the Iranian airspace or [29:05] not. But the military concept is very [29:08] important. Electronic warfare can [29:10] interfere with an enemy's ability to [29:13] detect and also track aircraft. Combined [29:17] with stealth technology and aerial [29:19] refueling, it allows fighter jets to [29:22] operate at longer distances while [29:25] reducing their exposure to the enemy [29:26] defenses. And while these military [29:29] preparations continue, another [29:31] development is raising serious questions [29:34] about Iran's nuclear ambitions. [29:37] satellite images. They reveal renewed [29:39] activity at Mini, a suspected nuclear [29:42] weapons research compound northeast of [29:46] Thran. Israel struck a complex on March [29:49] 3rd, damaging several buildings and what [29:53] researchers believe were underground [29:55] structures. Recent images, they show [29:58] vehicles returning, damaged areas being [30:00] cleared and earthmoving equipment [30:03] operating around previously attacked [30:05] sections at a separate facility, Talan [30:08] 2, inside the Palin military complex. [30:11] Iran has also been rebuilding the [30:13] infrastructure that was damaged by the [30:15] Israeli bunker buster weapons and the US [30:18] bombs. So constructions and equipment [30:21] and also protective coverings have been [30:24] identified around this facility. These [30:27] findings they do not prove that the [30:29] nuclear weapons research was resumed. [30:32] They do show that Iran easily stolen [30:35] infrastructure at a sensitive location [30:38] locations that are associated with its [30:40] earlier weapons development activities. [30:43] And Washington is preparing for the [30:44] possibility that military pressure may [30:47] resume. The Pentagon has reportedly [30:50] developed options. Options for an [30:52] intensive three-day campaign that will [30:55] target the Revolutionary Guard's missile [30:57] units, the drone infrastructure, the [30:59] military command facilities, and energy [31:02] related targets. [31:04] American Central Command has also been [31:07] instructed to maintain readiness. [31:10] Readiness for a possible water [31:12] operation. Yet Trump has publicly [31:14] promised that the United States will not [31:16] launch new strikes against Iran before [31:19] the November 3rd midterm elections. [31:22] He says that the diplomatic discussions [31:25] are productive. The however tells a [31:28] different story. Mushin Razim, head of [31:31] Iran's Supreme National Security [31:33] Council, says that Washington has [31:35] responded to several Iranian conditions, [31:37] but the American answers they remain [31:39] insufficient. Iran is demanding changes [31:42] before moving towards an agreement. Razi [31:45] has also warned that renewed fighting [31:47] could threaten the regional digital [31:49] infrastructure [31:51] in Israel. Security assessments they [31:53] continue to examine the possibility the [31:55] possibility of another confrontation [31:57] within weeks. [32:00] Speculation has even emerged about [32:02] whether a major missile war could [32:04] disrupt Israel's October 27th election. [32:08] Although no postponement has been [32:10] announced, the Iranian leadership it's [32:13] preparing internally as well. Supreme [32:16] Leader Mapi, [32:18] he insists that American and Israeli [32:20] strikes failed to destroy Iran's [32:22] domestic security apparatus. He has [32:25] praised the Farah police organization [32:28] led by Ahmed Razi Radan and called for [32:32] stronger recruitment and other equipment [32:35] and also technological capabilities [32:37] including artificial intelligence. The [32:40] regime is clearly placing considerable [32:42] importance on preserving its ability to [32:44] maintain internal control. And at the [32:47] same time, the American army has [32:50] distributed a recognition guide for [32:54] Iran's regular military known as the [32:57] Artesh. The guide identifies uniforms, [33:00] ranks, and weapons, including AKM and [33:03] MASAF 2 rifles, MG3 machine guns, RPG7 [33:08] launchers. Iran's regular ground forces [33:11] are estimated at approximately 350,000 [33:14] personnel, including roughly 220,000 [33:18] conscripts. [33:19] Unlike some Iranian air and naval [33:21] capabilities, these ground forces, they [33:24] have remained largely intact. [33:27] The guide is not evidence that an [33:28] American invasion has been ordered. It [33:31] shows that American troops are being [33:34] familiarized with the forces that they [33:36] could encounter in the confrontation [33:39] with Iran if it changes.

[34:31] That journey is now being told in my new [34:33] book called Boots on the Ground. So, [34:38] become a monthly supporter of TBN Israel [34:40] with a gift of $50 or more and receive a [34:43] personally signed copy of my book, Boots [34:46] on the Ground.

Now, let's turn to [34:58] Saudi Arabia, where the Iranianbacked [35:01] movement has brought this world directly [35:04] into the capital. A missile attack on [35:07] King Khaled International Airport in [35:09] Riyad killed 13 people and wounded more [35:11] than 300. The following day, another [35:14] projectile struck Terminal 4, starting a [35:17] fire, killing one person and injuring 11 [35:20] others. Saudi air defense has also [35:22] intercepted a cruise missile near the [35:24] airport. These attacks, they have forced [35:27] flight suspensions, security alerts, and [35:30] widespread disruption in the Saudi [35:32] capital. The threat has spread beyond [35:35] the airport. Missile debris has struck [35:37] the civilian facilities while diplomatic [35:39] personnel, workers, and students have [35:42] been forced to seek shelter. [35:45] And Saudi Arabia is confronting a [35:46] problem familiar to Israel. Even [35:49] sophisticated air defenses, they cannot [35:51] guarantee that every incoming missile or [35:54] drone will be intercepted. Saudi [35:57] officials, they are reportedly concerned [35:59] about declining interceptor inventories [36:03] and the difficulty of protecting a [36:05] country with such enormous territory. [36:09] Air defense batteries are being [36:11] repositioned to protect critical [36:13] locations, locations including the [36:15] government facilities, airports, and the [36:18] energy infrastructure. [36:20] Crown Prince Muhammad bin Salman is [36:22] reportedly moving between fortified [36:25] royal compounds under heightened [36:27] security and the pressure is not limited [36:30] to the capital. Saudib backed Yemeni [36:33] government forces have been fighting the [36:36] kouti positions around [36:39] and the approaches to Babel Mandab the [36:41] strategic straight which is connecting [36:43] the Red Sea to the Gulf of Eden. Saudi [36:46] aircrafts are providing air support [36:48] while the Houthis they respond with [36:50] missiles and drones directed towards the [36:52] Saudi territory. Yemen officials they [36:56] believe that the Iranian specialists [36:57] have helped the Houthis improved their [36:59] missile technology. They have also [37:02] described newer guidance capabilities [37:05] although there is no confirmation that [37:07] those systems were used against Riyad's [37:10] airport. [37:12] For Muhammad bin Salman, the dilemma is [37:14] growing. A major ground intervention in [37:17] Yemen could become another prolonged [37:19] war. But relying entirely on air strikes [37:22] leaves the Houthi forces capable of [37:24] launching further attacks. Saudi Arabia [37:27] is the full seeking assistance from [37:29] Pakistan, Turkey, Britain, France and [37:31] also other partners. Turkey and Pakistan [37:34] have pledged defensive cooperation while [37:37] Ankara has ruled out participating in [37:40] offensive ground operations. The United [37:43] States has provided military advisers [37:45] and intelligence support. But Trump has [37:48] not authorized direct American [37:50] participation in the Saudi air campaign [37:52] yet. He has however acknowledged that [37:55] American intervention remains possible. [37:59] Then came an unusual diplomatic [38:01] development. Iranian foreign minister [38:03] Abbasarakshi spoke with Saudi foreign [38:06] minister Fisal bin Farhan and offered to [38:10] help open talks between Riyad and [38:12] Yemen's Houthis. Saudi Arabia [38:14] acknowledged the conversation without [38:17] announcing any agreement. [38:19] That's a remarkable situation. [38:22] Iran, whose military support helped [38:25] build the Houthi capabilities, is now [38:27] offering to help negotiate to end the [38:29] fighting. [38:31] The consequences are already breaching [38:32] Saudi Arabia's economy. Attacks on the [38:35] aviation, the energy infrastructure, and [38:37] the shipping are putting pressure on the [38:41] investment and the tourism. Major [38:44] development projects including neoom. [38:49] They face additional uncertainty. [38:51] And despite Israel sharing Saudi [38:54] Arabia's concerns about the [38:55] Iranianbacked forces, political [38:57] disagreements continue to complicate [39:00] deeper cooperation between Jerusalem and [39:03] Riyad. And there is another place where [39:05] Iran's regional network is under [39:07] pressure and that is Lebanon. Security [39:10] forces arrested two men after [39:12] discovering a major explosive shipment [39:15] near Der El Ba on the route connecting [39:18] the Becca Valley to Beirut. The quantity [39:21] remains disputed with published accounts [39:24] describing anything from approximately [39:27] half a ton to nearly 800 kg. [39:31] One detailed account identified 216 kg [39:35] of C4 and 281 kg of tetril together with [39:41] nails and smaller devices that could [39:43] produce deadly fragmentation. [39:46] The shipment was reportedly moving [39:48] towards Beirut's southern suburbs, aisba [39:51] stronghold. Some investigators and also [39:54] Lebanese officials, they have linked the [39:56] sus the suspects to thebala terrorist [39:59] organization. Although other accounts, [40:01] they dispute this connection. So the [40:03] shipment's final purpose has not been [40:06] established yet. But political opponents [40:08] of the Hisbala terrorist organization, [40:10] they fear that the explosives could have [40:12] been intended for assassinations or [40:14] bombings inside Lebanon as pressure [40:17] grows to disarm the organization. They [40:19] also accuse Kizbala of attempting to [40:21] suppress the investigation. So those [40:24] allegations, they still require proof. [40:28] The discovery, it matters because the [40:30] Lebanese government is attempting to [40:31] establish control over weapons outside [40:34] the state authority. [40:36] And the Iranian connection, it extends [40:38] across the Syrian border. Israel [40:41] recently targeted Yusf Ali El Hassoon [40:44] near the Lebanon Syria frontier. The IDF [40:46] says that he had been planning attacks [40:48] against the Israeli civilians and [40:50] soldiers in southern Syria under the [40:52] Iranian direction. Those plans, they [40:55] reportedly included rockets and [40:58] explosive drones. Lebanese authorities [41:00] reported six people wounded in the [41:02] strike, but the intended targets fate it [41:06] remains unclear. In Gaza, Israel [41:09] continues expanding fortified positions [41:11] along the yellow line with more than 30 [41:14] military outposts reported across the [41:17] areas under Israel's control. [41:20] Recent estimates place that control at [41:23] around 70% of the territory. The IDF [41:26] continues striking Hamas military [41:28] infrastructure and operatives while [41:30] Hamas retains influence in other parts [41:33] of Gaza and also attempts to rebuild its [41:36] capabilities. [41:37] The ceasefire's political arrangements [41:39] remain stalled and civilians they [41:42] continue to suffer from the fighting and [41:44] widespread destruction across these [41:47] fronts. The next escalation could begin [41:50] with a single missile, a strike on a [41:52] ship, or a failed diplomatic decision. [41:56] And if the confrontation with Iran [41:58] resumes, will the next battlefield be [42:01] Thran, the Persian Gulf, or another [42:04] country that is caught in the middle? [42:06] Let me know what you think about that. [42:08] And in the meantime, keep spreading the [42:10] truth. Help us.
