WEBVTT - Sharri | 24 June 0:00:01.320 --> 0:00:05.320 Live on Sky News. This is Sharry. 0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:07.760 Good Evening. 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:12.680 Breaking news tonight that Donald Trump ceasefire has collapsed after 0:00:12.720 --> 0:00:16.599 Iran fired missiles into Israel. President Trump is set to 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:20.000 speak any moment, will cross live to the United States 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.840 when that happens. We're also waiting this hour to hear 0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:26.920 from the Israeli Prime Minister Benjaminette and Yahoo and right 0:00:26.960 --> 0:00:31.680 now the Kitari Prime Minister is addressing the media. This 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:36.120 after Iran fired missiles into the major US military base 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:40.400 in Qatar, and after news just moments ago that the 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:45.600 ceasefire has collapsed, and just hours after the ceasefire was announced. 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:49.280 This morning, Sky News reporter Sophie Ellsworth was running for 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.960 a bomb shelter and yet another missile from Iran. She'll 0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.360 join us a bit later on. Plus, Albanzi continues to 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.440 prove he's out of his depth on Iran. His week 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.360 leadership is risking our place in the world. 0:01:02.760 --> 0:01:03.880 We'll cover all of this. 0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:08.240 And more with tonight's huge guests. Form Israeli government spokesman 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:13.880 Elon Levy, former IDF Lieutenant Colonel Morris Hirsch, former Australia 0:01:13.959 --> 0:01:18.959 Ambassador to Israel, Dave Sharma, plus Andrew Carswell, and Cameron Milna. 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:20.640 Now, as we. 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:23.360 Go to air tonight, the ceasefire in the Middle East 0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:27.600 is set to collapse after a shocking violation by Iran. 0:01:28.360 --> 0:01:32.920 Just hours after agreeing to a ceasefire, Iran fired missiles 0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:37.160 into residential areas in northern Israel. This occurred at five 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.120 point thirty five pm Our time, just two and a 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:43.679 half hours ago, and it was Tuesday morning in Israel. 0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:48.760 Israeli's were just beginning to relax with the ceasefire supposedly 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:53.840 taking effect when sirens sounded across the north. As you 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:58.040 can see, this is inexcusable. It's a clear violation of 0:01:58.040 --> 0:02:01.280 the ceasefire and Iran won't be allowed to get away 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:04.560 with this. The IDF's Chief of the General Staff, e 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:08.080 L Zamir said in a statement tonight, in light of 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.760 the severe violation of the ceasefire carried out by the 0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:17.200 Uranian regime, we will respond with force, and Israel's Defense 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:22.720 Minister Israel Katz says Jerusalem will respond forcefully in the 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:27.680 heart of Tehran. He said, this is a ceasefire violation. 0:02:28.400 --> 0:02:30.639 So all this is unfolding right now. As we're going 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.200 to air, We'll keep bringing you the developments as they happen, 0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:38.040 and President Donald Trump might address the media as he 0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:39.720 boards his flight to NATO. 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:41.600 He's scheduled to do so this. 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:44.520 Hour, and when he does, we'll bring that straight to 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:49.160 you live now. Thankfully, both of the missiles fired into 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:53.840 northern Israel that we're in breach of the ceasefire were intercepted. 0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:59.040 But earlier today Tehran targeted the residential area of BeSheva 0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:03.239 yet again with a series of missiles that have now 0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:08.280 killed four Israelis. Iran fired a barrage of ballistic missiles 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:12.040 in quick succession. Two were fired toward a residential building. 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.560 One was intercepted, but the other reportedly hit the sixth 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:21.240 floor of the apartment, and it directly hit two safe routs, 0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:27.000 killing the four people inside and injuring another twenty two. Now, 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:30.160 three of those killed were members of a single family. 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:32.680 It's said to be a man and a woman, a 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:36.080 woman in their bodies and another man in his twenties, 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:41.240 and there were many other people extracted alive from beneath 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:44.920 the rubble. Now, this is shocking footage. This is the 0:03:45.000 --> 0:03:55.280 moment that it hit. Now, the same area of Beshev 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:59.760 was impacted just last Thursday, when the Sorocca Medical Center 0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:04.640 was struck by another Iranian missile. Now the Israeli Air 0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:08.880 Force is investigating why the air defenses, including the Iron Dome, 0:04:09.200 --> 0:04:12.440 didn't manage to intercept the missile this morning. 0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.080 But tonight it does look like. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:19.640 Israel will punish Iran for those cruel civilian deaths and 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:24.480 for breaching the agreement. Early today we had the welcome 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:29.320 news that America had broken a tentative ceasefire, and President 0:04:29.360 --> 0:04:35.440 Trump declared, perhaps too optimistically on truth social congratulations to everyone. 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:38.880 It has been fully agreed by and between Israel and 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:42.840 Iran that there will be a complete and total ceasefire 0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:47.200 in approximately six hours from now, when Israel and Iran 0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:51.440 have wound down and completed their in progress final missions 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.200 for twelve hours, at which point the war will be 0:04:55.279 --> 0:05:00.200 considered ended. And in that post, Trump, when I to 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:05.000 say this should be called the twelve day War, well, sadly, 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:05.920 it looks like that. 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:07.960 Name will have to be updated. 0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:10.719 And let's hope it's only the thirteen and the fourteen 0:05:10.800 --> 0:05:14.080 day war, and that this doesn't go on any longer 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:15.039 than necessary. 0:05:15.960 --> 0:05:18.000 But hasn't it been a mass a few days? 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.880 And it explains why many are reaching for the famous 0:05:20.960 --> 0:05:24.640 Lenin quote about the Russian Revolution that there are decades 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:29.200 when nothing happens, and there are weeks when decades happen. 0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:31.839 And isn't that true of the past week, I mean 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:36.200 just the past few days. And many were skeptical that 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:40.880 the ceasefire announced by Trump wouldn't hold after Iran's foreign 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:45.800 minister said Abbas Aragachi, posted on social media that as 0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:49.880 of now, there is no agreement on any ceasefire or 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:55.200 cessation of military operations. However, provided that these radio regimes 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:58.679 stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:01.520 than four a m t Run time, we have no 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:08.039 intention to continue our response afterwards. And yet they did 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:13.080 firing two missiles, as we know in Northern Israelrael, in 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:16.520 breach of the ceasefire agreement that Donald Trump, by the way, 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:21.040 claimed would hold forever, would last forever, and it hasn't 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:25.160 lasted a matter of hours now. In total, over the 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.240 past two weeks or so, Iran has fired about nine 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:33.640 hundred and fifty missiles nine hundred and fifty all at 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:38.599 Israeli civilians. Eight thousand, one hundred and ninety civilians have 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:42.320 had to be evacuated from their homes. Twenty seven were 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:47.279 murdered and one two hundred and seventeen Israelis have been injured. 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:52.120 Iran's actions in breaching the ceasefire. It's just further proof, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:54.359 not that you need it, that its only goal is 0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:58.880 to cause death and destruction to Israel. Israelis had been 0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:02.919 breathing a sigh of relief at the prospect of the ceasefire, 0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:06.600 no more rushing to bomb shelters at all hours, fearing 0:07:06.640 --> 0:07:10.160 for their lives. And so many families have been impacted 0:07:10.160 --> 0:07:14.400 by the terror, the exhaustion, the destruction of homes, businesses, 0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:20.360 even hospitals in suburban areas because the IIGC was only 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:26.119 targeting civilians in a reflection of its murderous intent. Now 0:07:26.280 --> 0:07:31.480 Israel went into a run initially to dismantle its nuclear sites, 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.000 and it said it expected the operation would last around 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:39.560 two weeks now. Benjaminette Yaho sat on Sunday that he 0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:43.920 felt these war goals were close to being achieved, so 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.240 this was where he was expecting it to go. He said, 0:07:47.240 --> 0:07:49.680 when we achieve the goals, we will not continue with 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:53.600 actions beyond what is necessary, but we will not finish 0:07:53.640 --> 0:07:58.400 too early. When the goals are achieved, the operation will stop. 0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:03.280 Even after America's strikes on the nuclear site for Dough, 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:08.000 Israel then went in again and hit that underground nuclear 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:12.640 site with more missiles to completely destroy it or as 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.480 much as is possible from the air. In total, Israel 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:20.120 has bombed more than one thousand, one hundred military and 0:08:20.200 --> 0:08:24.400 nuclear targets in Iran. That's the estimation, and this includes 0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:29.320 missile production facilities, air defense batteries, and command centers, not 0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:35.520 civilian areas. It has also hit IIGC headquarters, missile factories, 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.760 air bases, and even just since we went to air 0:08:38.840 --> 0:08:43.520 last night, the gates of the Evan Prison. This prison 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:48.640 is a site of torture where Iranian Canadian photojournalist Zara 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:53.120 Kazemi was murdered in two thousand and three. Many other 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:58.080 dissidents faced the same fate. Israel blowing up its gate 0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:02.280 its doors is a symbolic move designed to encourage Iranians 0:09:02.520 --> 0:09:06.600 to take back control of their country. And thanks to 0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:10.440 Israel and the US, the IIGC. 0:09:10.000 --> 0:09:11.079 Has been crippled. 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:15.640 It is defeated, and yet as we're seeing tonight, it 0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:20.600 refuses to surrender. The International Atomic Energy Agency has also 0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:25.240 raised questions over the four hundred kilogram of enriched uranium, 0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.320 but it says it verified just a few days before 0:09:29.520 --> 0:09:33.360 Israel's military action began. Now, we had on the show 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:37.840 last night former idepificial Jonathan Conricus, and he addressed this, 0:09:38.000 --> 0:09:41.920 and he said, it's hardly something that Israel would have forgotten. 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:47.760 I think assess that Israel has pretty good intel when 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:52.840 it comes to Iran. Israel has been collecting, assessing intel, 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:56.160 and preparing itself for this moment for quite a few years. 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:59.040 And I think, you know, I don't think that is 0:09:59.080 --> 0:10:03.040 what would you know, forget to deal with such an 0:10:03.120 --> 0:10:08.439 important and critical piece of ascid. 0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:14.680 So Iran has been thoroughly defeated, its airspace surrendered to Israel, 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:19.079 its nuclear sites hit over and over again, yet it's 0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:22.480 still breached. The ceasefire broken by the President of the 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.560 United States in a move that will only bring pain 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:30.560 onto its leadership. It was an idiotic strategic move. Israel 0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:33.720 had raised the possibility of taking out the Supreme leader 0:10:33.920 --> 0:10:37.880 Ayatola Ali Kamani, in the past few days, but it 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:41.880 wouldn't have done this after agreeing to the ceasefire. Israel 0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:45.400 would have abided by the terms. Yet now that the 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.520 ceasefire is off, this action, along with any other, is 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:53.960 presumably back on the table. And this came after Iran 0:10:54.040 --> 0:10:58.240 targeted the major US military air basing Qatar overnight in 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:02.599 retaliatory attacks for the American strike on its nuclear facilities. 0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:08.040 Now it seemed like Iran was acting somewhat sensibly, wanting 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:11.720 to avoid ongoing war, and so it gave advance warning 0:11:11.760 --> 0:11:15.880 to Katar. The airbase was evacuated, most of the missiles 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:21.720 were intercepted, and there were no casualties. But Katar, one 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:26.800 of Iran's only friends in the region, is now deeply unimpressed. 0:11:26.800 --> 0:11:30.319 It summoned the Iranian ambassador as I said, the Katar 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.680 Prime minister is speaking right now as we got to 0:11:33.720 --> 0:11:36.240 air and its foreign minister has said that it does 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:42.240 retain the right to respond to this egregious violation. Now 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.120 Week two have been those who came out in support 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:49.040 of the Iranian regime as America weighed strikes on its 0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.880 nuclear facilities, and the chief cheerleader was Tucker Carlson. His 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:57.800 predictions of mass American deaths and the start of World 0:11:57.840 --> 0:12:02.840 War III were entirely unfounded, and it turns out that 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:06.280 he phoned Donald Trump to apologize a few days ago. 0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:11.440 Tucker's aska he called an apologized the other day because 0:12:11.480 --> 0:12:14.000 he thought he said thanks that were only too strong 0:12:14.640 --> 0:12:17.520 and I appreciated that. And Ted Cruz is an x gay. 0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:19.240 I mean, he's been with me for a long time. 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.360 M'd say once the race was over, he's been with 0:12:21.440 --> 0:12:22.079 me ever since. 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.800 But Taker should also apologize to his sixteen million followers 0:12:26.840 --> 0:12:31.600 for stirring up hatred based on false propositions. And Albanize 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:35.880 could too apologize to Australians for letting us down so severely, 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.280 because that is exactly what he's done. Scott Morrison told 0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:42.960 me last night that Albaneze should have called a national 0:12:43.000 --> 0:12:47.720 security meeting on Sunday and come out immediately to support 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:52.080 America and Israel. There's no question that's what Morrison would 0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.600 have done, and he believes other former prime ministers on 0:12:55.720 --> 0:13:00.400 both sides as well, including Howard Rudd and Gillard, says 0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:04.400 they had the same instincts to support the US Alliance. 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.079 This is your message to the alban Easy government. Now 0:13:08.120 --> 0:13:12.400 you're saying, stop being ambiguous when it comes to foreign policy, 0:13:12.600 --> 0:13:13.800 Support our allies. 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.000 That's what you're saying. Isn't it. 0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:17.520 Of course, I mean the United States for those who 0:13:17.600 --> 0:13:20.760 want to live in the fairyland that thinks that without 0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.360 an alliance with the United States we somehow have a 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:28.199 defense arrangement, that somehow Australia would be the only country 0:13:28.240 --> 0:13:30.720 other than the United States that would be able to 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:36.400 resist the type of potential offense that would be leveled 0:13:36.400 --> 0:13:38.480 at Australia and do it in isolation. 0:13:38.760 --> 0:13:42.240 This is absolute la la land. The United States is 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:44.160 our most important ally. 0:13:44.720 --> 0:13:46.480 And whether it was the Howard government or was with 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:50.120 my government, whether it was during times of the rug government, 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:57.000 the Gillad government, there was an instinctive, an instinctive alignment 0:13:57.120 --> 0:14:00.920 with the United States. And I can't tell you why 0:14:01.000 --> 0:14:04.400 he waited until today before saying something. 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:06.840 I don't know the answer to that question. 0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.120 If you're the United States and you take an action 0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:13.280 like this, and it wouldn't. 0:14:12.840 --> 0:14:15.160 Have been an easy call for the president. 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.760 This is not something he would have been rushing to do, 0:14:17.880 --> 0:14:21.640 itching to do, but you'd want to know your allies 0:14:22.080 --> 0:14:26.560 were with you, and how hard is it to go? 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.000 Well done, mister President. 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:32.760 I'm taking out the nu killer capabilities of a despotic 0:14:32.880 --> 0:14:38.760 authoritarian regime that you know, imposes all sorts of extinguishment 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:40.240 of liberties on their own people. 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:46.760 Now you're seeing at the bottom of your screen live 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:50.560 shots from the Andrews Airbase in Marylands. We're waiting for 0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:53.600 the President of the United States, Donald Trump to turn up. 0:14:53.640 --> 0:14:56.440 He's going to take that flight to NATO. He may 0:14:56.600 --> 0:14:57.480 speak to the media. 0:14:57.680 --> 0:15:00.160 If he does, we'll go straight to the President the 0:15:00.240 --> 0:15:00.960 United States. 0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.040 But just to explain, that is the shot you're looking 0:15:03.080 --> 0:15:03.400 at there. 0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.080 We're waiting for Donald Trump to turn up and to 0:15:06.080 --> 0:15:08.400 see if he does comment on the news that the 0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:12.760 ceasefire that he announced just hours ago has now collapsed. 0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:15.440 But back to Scott Morrison, I mean, it shouldn't be 0:15:15.520 --> 0:15:18.640 so refreshing to hear that kind of moral clarity. 0:15:19.080 --> 0:15:21.040 In fact, this should be the bare minimum we. 0:15:21.040 --> 0:15:24.160 Expect up from our Prime minister and our foreign minister. 0:15:24.840 --> 0:15:28.280 But they've made their bed, they've damaged the relationship with 0:15:28.400 --> 0:15:31.840 America and they're going to have to live with the consequences. 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:33.640 Now what we're. 0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.480 Experiencing now, you just have to say, there are days 0:15:36.520 --> 0:15:40.320 in life that will be entirely forgotten. No record in 0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:43.080 the history books, nothing of note to jog our memories 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:47.720 and then there are days like these ones, deeply consequential 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.240 that could never be erased from memory. And we've all 0:15:51.600 --> 0:15:54.280 just lived through one of the most momentous periods in 0:15:54.320 --> 0:15:59.960 modern history, where heroes emerged and those lacking in curry 0:16:00.240 --> 0:16:05.000 and conviction were exposed. The Trump ded in Yahoo partnership 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:09.440 has shown the world what peace through strength can look like, 0:16:09.800 --> 0:16:15.120 yet again, what American deterrence looks like. If the likes 0:16:15.160 --> 0:16:18.600 of Albernezi and Tucker Carlson are remembered in the historical 0:16:18.680 --> 0:16:21.960 retelling of this story at all, and they probably won't be, 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:32.040 it will be for sitting on the wrong side of history. Okay, 0:16:32.080 --> 0:16:34.520 for more on the situation. Now, let's cross live to 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:39.400 Israel with farm Israeli government spokesperson Elon Levy. Elon, great 0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:43.640 to see you again. Yet another difficult day. So reports 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.200 that Iran has broken the ceasefire two missiles sent into 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:50.080 northern Israel. We've heard in the past hour from Defense 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:55.280 Minister Israel katz He says the IDF will respond forcefully. Elon, 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:57.320 what are we expecting to see from here? 0:16:59.120 --> 0:17:02.560 Indeed, the Iranian regime violated the ceasefire this morning with 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:06.240 missile fire at northern Israel, just hours after a deadly 0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:11.160 barrowge that killed four people in an apartment block in Beershemba, 0:17:11.200 --> 0:17:14.119 and Israel is now saying it will respond fortully. And 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.720 I want to explain why, because there are going to 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:18.680 be people around the world who are going to tell 0:17:18.760 --> 0:17:22.040 Israel just turn a blind eye. It was only one 0:17:22.160 --> 0:17:25.719 or two ballistic missiles. There's no need to respond to Iran. 0:17:25.920 --> 0:17:28.000 Just let it go by in this walk and disappear. 0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.320 I want to explain why Israel is not going back 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:36.240 to the world that existed on October sixth, before this 0:17:36.359 --> 0:17:41.159 war started, when the Iranian regime tried one provocation after 0:17:41.240 --> 0:17:45.160 the next until tensions reached a boiling point. The Iranian 0:17:45.200 --> 0:17:48.720 regime strategy is to try to boil Israel like a frog. 0:17:48.960 --> 0:17:50.359 Do you know what happens to a frog when you 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:52.480 put it in boiling water? If you put it in 0:17:52.560 --> 0:17:55.280 water and then slowly turn up the heat, it doesn't 0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.000 realize that the water is getting hotter and hotter until 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.200 eventually it dies. That's what the Rae regime wants to 0:18:01.240 --> 0:18:05.080 do to keep pushing boundaries. It'll be one missile from here, 0:18:05.320 --> 0:18:08.040 another missile from there. We've had this before when it 0:18:08.080 --> 0:18:10.560 was claimed that Hamas didn't really shoot a missile, that 0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:13.480 was just lightning that set it off accidentally, until we 0:18:13.520 --> 0:18:17.520 reach a point where Israel finds itself confronting a massive threat. 0:18:17.280 --> 0:18:18.520 From the Iranian regime. 0:18:18.800 --> 0:18:21.520 So this is Israel saying we are not going to 0:18:21.520 --> 0:18:25.879 tolerate any violations of the ceasefire or else you're just 0:18:26.080 --> 0:18:29.280 paving the way to the next war. It's important we 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:33.200 have a de escalation. It's important the Israel Iran war end, 0:18:33.920 --> 0:18:37.320 but it cannot end with the Iranian regime pushing the 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:40.119 boundaries to see how far it can go and how 0:18:40.200 --> 0:18:42.359 much it can get away within attacking Israel. 0:18:43.320 --> 0:18:45.640 And of course we should know that Iran has denied 0:18:46.080 --> 0:18:49.680 sending those two missiles into northern Israel. There's no other 0:18:50.760 --> 0:18:54.320 legitimate explanation for where those missiles came from, however, and 0:18:54.400 --> 0:18:59.399 presumably Israel has tracked them to Tehran. But elin you know, 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:02.720 the question is, why would Iran have done this? Why 0:19:02.760 --> 0:19:05.080 would it have agreed to a cease fire with the 0:19:05.160 --> 0:19:07.840 president and then broken it just a few hours later. 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:11.040 You know, you say it's testing the boundaries, but it 0:19:11.119 --> 0:19:15.399 is already thoroughly crippled. The regimes hanging on by a thread. 0:19:15.680 --> 0:19:17.680 What possible self interest is there? 0:19:19.720 --> 0:19:24.960 The Iranian regime has comprehensively lost this war with Israel. 0:19:25.240 --> 0:19:28.440 It's impossible to exaggerate Israel's achievements. 0:19:28.760 --> 0:19:29.880 In twelve days, the. 0:19:29.880 --> 0:19:33.920 Iranian regime managed to bomb a hospital, a cancer research clinic, 0:19:34.200 --> 0:19:39.120 a treatment clinic for disabled children, and people's homes. Israel 0:19:39.200 --> 0:19:44.040 managed to cripple its ballistic missile industry, decapitate its military leadership, 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.560 and together with the United States, totally destroy. 0:19:47.240 --> 0:19:48.320 Its nuclear program. 0:19:48.440 --> 0:19:51.280 The Iranian regime was not in a position to respond 0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:54.640 with Israeli jets controlling the skies of Tehran, and. 0:19:54.560 --> 0:19:56.280 It had to agree to a cease fire. 0:19:56.640 --> 0:20:02.320 But the Iranian regime has been humiliated, and that means 0:20:02.320 --> 0:20:06.440 that it is still dangerous. Israel has managed to eliminate 0:20:06.520 --> 0:20:11.399 the existential threats of a nuclear Iran and Iran with 0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:14.280 ballistic missiles, and the world should say thank you. But 0:20:14.400 --> 0:20:17.040 Iran is still dangerous. And you know, I know your 0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:21.720 show has really bravely platformed so many Iranian expats who 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.560 are hoping this would lead to the fall of the regime. 0:20:25.080 --> 0:20:28.520 And I think the exiled Crown Prince Raza Pahlavi put 0:20:28.560 --> 0:20:32.959 it so well yesterday, warning that the Iranian regime is 0:20:33.119 --> 0:20:36.840 going to lash out. It's not going to go without 0:20:36.840 --> 0:20:40.160 a fight because it's been humiliated. And as long as 0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:48.200 Iran is controlled by a fundamentalistic, totalitarian, despotic regime whose 0:20:48.400 --> 0:20:51.960 policy is death to Israel and death to the United States, 0:20:52.240 --> 0:20:56.440 it will continue to try to establish chaos to try 0:20:56.480 --> 0:20:59.400 to gain control of the Middle East, and no one. 0:20:59.280 --> 0:21:00.520 Will be truly safe. 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:04.120 So the Uranian regime not an exist central threat anymore, 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:06.200 but still a ticking time, Bob. 0:21:07.280 --> 0:21:10.879 Just finally quickly, Elinor. You're very prominent on x and 0:21:10.960 --> 0:21:15.840 on social media. There's a cry, there's a lot of 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:19.520 claims that Israel hasn't done the job Americas and done 0:21:19.560 --> 0:21:22.879 the job in completely destroying the nuclear sites. This speculation 0:21:23.040 --> 0:21:25.280 is rife. What would you say to that. 0:21:27.400 --> 0:21:29.560 Look, Israel and the United States are going to be 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.760 performing the final analysis of the damage from those devastating 0:21:33.840 --> 0:21:37.119 air strikes, But right now it looks like Natans and 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:41.160 Istahanzak were completely destroyed and four Doux has either been 0:21:41.240 --> 0:21:47.320 completely destroyed or massively degraded with Israel bombing the access room. 0:21:47.440 --> 0:21:52.400 The current estimation according to US intelligence is that Iran's 0:21:52.440 --> 0:21:56.639 four hundred kilos of highly enriched uranium are buried underneath 0:21:56.680 --> 0:22:00.320 the mountain and are completely inaccessible. So we're way for 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:04.400 the final assessment. But the Iranian nuclear program has either 0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.280 been set back by years or completely destroyed. And it 0:22:07.320 --> 0:22:11.360 looks like if Iran wants a Newclaire program, it's going 0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:12.640 to have to build one from scratch. 0:22:13.440 --> 0:22:16.080 All right, Elan Lee, the appreciate your time as always, 0:22:16.119 --> 0:22:17.080 Thank you so much. 0:22:17.880 --> 0:22:18.800 Now let's bring it now. 0:22:18.960 --> 0:22:22.720 Former Liberal senator, sorry, current Liberal Senator and former Australian 0:22:22.720 --> 0:22:24.720 Ambassador to Israel, Dave Sharma. 0:22:25.000 --> 0:22:26.439 Dave, great to see you again. 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:31.879 Now, this news tonight very concerning that Iran has breached 0:22:32.000 --> 0:22:36.719 the ceasefire agreement broken by Donald Trump just this morning 0:22:36.920 --> 0:22:37.520 our time. 0:22:37.840 --> 0:22:39.600 What's your response to this news. 0:22:41.720 --> 0:22:45.880 Look, you know we've had mixed signals from Iran. We've 0:22:45.880 --> 0:22:50.360 had some suggestion that if dayas stopped, if Israel's cease 0:22:50.480 --> 0:22:54.240 is attacking them, they will stop responding in kind, but 0:22:54.359 --> 0:22:57.720 they haven't explicitly agreed to a cease fire. You also 0:22:57.800 --> 0:22:59.800 need to bear in mind that we don't know how 0:22:59.840 --> 0:23:02.880 well command and control arrangements are working in Aram. I've 0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:05.760 lost a number of the senior military leaders. I think 0:23:05.760 --> 0:23:09.640 the Supreme Leader is in hiding somewhere, so it's not 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:11.840 necessarily the case that they can give an order and 0:23:11.880 --> 0:23:15.480 everyone will follow it. And there's the possibility that there's 0:23:15.520 --> 0:23:18.960 been a breakdown internally in Irani too, where the leadership 0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.720 wanted to observe a cease fire, but elements of the 0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:25.800 IIGC did not. But it's very hard to know at 0:23:25.800 --> 0:23:26.520 this stage. 0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:30.040 That's a really interesting point that I haven't heard made yet, 0:23:30.080 --> 0:23:33.239 but that is fascinating that it might have been a 0:23:33.280 --> 0:23:36.920 different group or different officials, military officials not under the 0:23:36.960 --> 0:23:39.600 control of the IIGC. I just want to ask you 0:23:39.600 --> 0:23:44.439 about the significance overnight of Israel destroying the gates of 0:23:44.440 --> 0:23:47.399 Evan prison and also the destruction of the so called 0:23:47.560 --> 0:23:49.400 Israel Clock in Tehran. 0:23:50.480 --> 0:23:52.919 Well, I think what this is intended to do is 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:57.560 send a signal to Iran that if they don't cease 0:23:57.760 --> 0:24:00.520 their responses, then the next set of Israeli targets a 0:24:00.960 --> 0:24:04.040 political or institutional in nature, no longer going to be 0:24:04.119 --> 0:24:07.879 just limited to military installations, and Evan prisoners are particularly 0:24:08.280 --> 0:24:12.000 potent symbol. I mean Evan prisoners where political detainees and 0:24:12.119 --> 0:24:18.560 hostages are held and mistreated. An Australian citizen, Kylie Moore Gilbert, 0:24:18.640 --> 0:24:21.080 was held there for a number of years. And I 0:24:21.160 --> 0:24:23.400 know this is you know, it's a place that has 0:24:23.920 --> 0:24:26.919 resonance with human rights activists and people who fight for 0:24:27.000 --> 0:24:30.080 freedom around the world. So I think this was intended 0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.159 to send a message by a Israel to Iran that 0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:37.160 if they don't cease their continued missile attacks against civilian areas, 0:24:37.200 --> 0:24:40.520 it should be make clear they are targeting civilian areas 0:24:40.520 --> 0:24:48.560 in Israel, including mosques and synagogues, then Israel will accelerate, 0:24:48.560 --> 0:24:50.840 if you like, or escalate the sort of tut things 0:24:50.840 --> 0:24:51.520 they're targeting. 0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:56.600 Just in terms of the broader vision for the region 0:24:56.640 --> 0:24:59.840 that we've heard expressed over for many years by the 0:25:00.000 --> 0:25:02.680 he's ready Prime Minister in Adinyahu. You know he's keen 0:25:02.720 --> 0:25:05.720 to have an expansion of the Abraham Accords, work in 0:25:05.760 --> 0:25:07.879
