A lot of building tension over the last couple of days as this region really waited to see how israel would respond to that unprecedented attack by iran last saturday. We didnt know what it would look like in what would happen and some people yesterday thinking it was not going to happen until after the upcoming passover holiday. We now know according to fox news Military Source that israel is responding to iran with these very targeted and specific strikes in the esfahan region. That is roughly 200 miles away from the iranian capital of tehran. This is significant because not only is it close to the capital, but also near the Nuclear Facility. We should mention the site was not hit in the strike appeared to target the nearby iranian airbase. But really clearly shows that israel has the capabilities to hit this area and hit it when it wants to. As it stands, Iranian Media has been downplaying the strike. I havent reported damage from the strike or direct impact. Relieves only comments
i think what we will see on the streets of iran s messaging. the iranian government will say they defeated is really attacked and they will be pushing citizens to get out and protest to say that so that is what we will see but in reality it was a message, a strong message sent and the leadership will tried to push that away. and say that there is a victory. todd: but clearly, if you can touch the iranian nuclear sites at will like israel demonstrator last night, apparently that it can my do not think that is cause for celebration if you are the mola os they were a bit cause for celebration for carley: people if the ouster of those molas. mark, jonathan, thank you for your insight pure to be appreciated. as i mentioned none of the nuclear facilities were impacted by israel strike overnight but sends the signal tullibe could hit them if they want to.

joe biden is $1 billion in new arms for israel. the largest transfer to that country since october seven, 2023 and what is your reaction to that, jonathan? my reaction is it s about time. it is about time that the folks in congress passed the funding bill todd: right, and understand his shot is frozen. mark, can you pick up that question what do you make of this $1 billion in israel that i asked jonathan about! it is needed in late in coming and israel is fighting a war on multiple fronts right now. and they are fighting a war that has to be won in the gaza strip you are the u.s. has been doing its best or i should say biden is doing his best to tamp down on that leaving hamas which is
government, which traditionally leaks like a sea of and whether schools are in session were not there the last eight hours, the government has not taken anything and the schools are in session. so when those things happen, the government is satisfied going about the business i should be. carley: speaking of leaks, rabbi, the news we have been getting through reports possibly through israel itself is that the strike was not going to happen for some time. even after israel launched its ground him patient into rafah. but it took place last night. do you think that was by design by israel to sort of muddy the waters in terms of timeline for the strike and if so, why? absolutely. i think most of the time the reporters declare to tell you something for the security cabinet. the israeli security cabinet wants you to think that way. therefore, thinking the attack would happen after passover,
