So far, Israel has launched hundreds of ballistic missiles into Iran striking 35 critical sites during Operation Rising Lion. Now, new reports out today indicate there is damage to the infamous underground nuclear facility in Natanz. The former Israeli ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren, joins us shortly in Tel Aviv, and Fox Team Coverage is ready. Mark Meredith will have live reaction from the White House. We start, though. But our senior correspondent Mike Tobini is live in Tel Aviv. Are Iranians fleeing Tehran amid this fighting? We know what's going on there in Israel. What's happening in Iran?

Well, as far as the missile attacks that are coming out of Iran, their size and intensity have decreased dramatically. They're flaccid. Let's be real. These are the most limp-dell because, like, for a while, bro, Iran was popping the fuck off. Like, they were bombing the shit out of Israel. I was shocked.

Like, I was. I was like, damn. Like, this is crazy. Like, maybe Iran, like, maybe we didn't, maybe they didn't know who they were fucking with. But now it's just nothing. You shoots like three missiles every, like, five hours they get shot down. And it's like it never happened. We've had a couple of missile attacks today.

One of them, just about an hour or two ago. It's over. Not everybody knows that. Like, you know what? I used to play in StarCraft. I used to play Void Rays. I tell you, you brought a void ray over there. They didn't have one of those terrorists.

It was done. You were done. That's it. ...involved as few as two missiles. The IDS. I remember one time I played StarCraft. I was in like a diamond game. And the dude saw my void ray immediately come out of the fog of war.

Within two frames, he quit the game. Because he already knew. He knew what it was going to... He knew. All right. Yep. You got... No, you got me.

That's it. One of them was intercepted earlier this morning. There was a missile attack involving some 20 ballistic missiles out of Iran. Four of those got through. The damage was minimal. It resulted in a bus that caught fire, a structure that caught fire in several craters that were formed in the ground. But no injuries reported from that. Now, Israel's defense minister has taken to the airways with a warning for Ayatollah Khomeini,

saying if he continues to fire missiles at Israel, He could meet the same fate as Saddam Hussein. I warn the Iranian dictator from continuing to commit war crimes, firing missiles at Israeli citizens. He should remember what happened to the dictator in the country neighboring Iran who took this path against the state of Israel. I mean, there's a reason he's underground right now, right? I mean, like, fuck, I would be too.

I'd be terrified. And that is in line with the true social post. Trump, quote, I'm not in the mood to negotiate. Oh my God. Jesus. Yeah, vibes. Yeah, he just doesn't know. He just doesn't want to do it.

Yeah, I only give him 60 more days, right? That profile picture goes fucking hard though, right? It is funny how every other senator has like a normal picture. and Trump has some AI fucking Photoshop bullshit thing that's like straight out of Facebook. Seen from President Trump saying we know exactly where the so-called Supreme Leader is hiding. He's an easy target, but is safe there. We're not going to take him out kill, at least not for now,

but we don't want missile shot at civilians or American soldiers. Our patience is wearing thin. Now, Israeli fighter jets meantime have been busy in the skies over Western around Israel claims to have hit dozens of surface-to-surface missiles. The IDF says they also hit air defenses like surface-to-air missiles and radar backing up Israel's... Somebody says, I don't want to get involved in a conflict of war, but I feel like soldiers would gladly follow Trump's orders. I think the reality is that this is the... And this is, I think, the discussion, right?

Is avoiding a war, guaranteeing a war in the future. And I think that from Trump's perspective and from the people that are in favor of Iran and intervening in Iran, the idea is that if you let them keep going and you let them do this, this will create a larger existential problem down the road where we could stop the problem right now before it becomes worse. That's basically what they're saying. And then on the other side, they're saying, oh, yeah, well, how do that work with, you know, Iraq? Because that was the idea with Iraq. And that didn't, like, it's like the war ended in 2000 and whenever the fuck Saddam Hussein got caught. Or Libya, right, exactly. And so that's the two sides of this.

I can't wait for you to cover the Trump assassination. I love how you think that, do you, if, you know if Trump gets assassinated, you have you heard some of the shit jd vans says oh no i don't think you yeah bro like that's not yeah you don't you know it's way worse like you think that's bad blame of air superiority over around the i aea international atomic energy uh agency i mean you gotta remember j d vance was the one that said frankly margid i don't care whenever they were talking about like families being separated by deportions he was the one that was saying um the UK is going to be an Islamic nation.

That was J.D. Vance. It wasn't Trump saying that. It was him. It has issued a new assessment of that strike at the Nantan's nuclear enrichment facility, saying that facility took a direct hit from Israeli airstrikes, sustaining significant damage. That new assessment was issued after they reviewed satellite imagery of the Nantan's facility. John, back to you. Mike Tupper with the latest from television.

So they know where the guy is. Of course they know where the guy is. It's the most important guy to know where he is. Mike, thank you. Gillian. All right, well, President Trump cut his G7 trip short as Israel and Iran broaden their attacks yesterday. He's expected to spend the day at the White House today meeting with his National Security Council in the situation room. Mark Meredith is at the White House for us this afternoon.

Hey, Mark. Gillian, good afternoon to you. The White House has President Trump himself throwing cold water on the idea that the U.S. is going to be brokering a ceaseball. fire between Israel and Iran anytime. That's not happening. It's done. What?

Yep. Yep. They had the time for that. They didn't do it. And now, who knows what's going to happen? Soon, even though there's growing political pressure on the White House to limit any U.S. military exposure to what's happening in the Middle East. The president cut his trip to Canada short by a day, given the developments, the escalating

violence between these two countries. And as you and John were just talking about, he's been quite active on truth social. Mike Tobin read one of the posts, but I wanted to read one of the other ones where he also said this. And it was interesting, he said the word we because we now have complete and total control of the skies over Iran. Iran has good sky trackers and other defensive equipment, but it doesn't compare to American-made conceived and manufactured stuff. Nobody does it better than the good old USA. While Trump has been active on social media, so is Vice President Vance. He issued a lengthy statement online, making it clear all options remain on the table.

Very quickly, the debate over what U.S. involved. may or may not look like is engulfing Capitol Hill, especially among Democrats, we're seeing two very different trains of thought play out. They have to be held accountable for what they've done. They're the ones that built and created the proxies like Hamas and Hezbollah and put our whole region in this kinds of chaos. I happen to believe that he's right he's right I mean he is that the U.S. being at war with Iran would be a colossal mistake. There is no national security imperative that suggests that we should. And it's not just Democrats who are speaking out against the possibility.

I think that the strongest argument that I see for why it's important to stop Iran from developing any nuclear weapons and stop them from getting any more advanced is Russia. In my opinion, this is, again, my opinion, while Russia does have some reasons that I think are partially legitimate, in the Russia, Ukraine. conflict, I view Russia as the aggressor. Russia are the ones in the wrong. It's not that Russia did this for no reason. It's that the reason that they did do it for, I don't think justified what they did. Right? It was, it was disproportionate. We have to pussyfoot around and not be aggressive against Russia because Russia has nuclear weapons. That's one of the big reasons. That's one of the

big reasons. They have a massive military and they have nuclear weapons. If they didn't have that, we would be having a totally different conversation. So is the U.S.? Exactly. You're a warmonger? Well, wait a second. You're saying this. Actually, wait, remember what I said before? There's no, let's not even address it. It's not worth wasting our time on. It's not worth wasting our time on somebody who's amming in caps lock. There's no sense to this at all. Anyway, it's just so wrong. Yeah, it's not even worth responding to. Let's move on. The point is that if you look at the way that we've had to negotiate with Russia and we've had to put up with this bullshit for years, now, because it's been since 2022, I think that goes to show you what it will be like

dealing with Iran if they get a nuclear weapon. And that, in my opinion, is the best case scenario. That is the best case scenario because that's assuming they don't use it. Who is the aggressor in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Palestine? Who cares? That doesn't have anything to do with what I'm saying. With a looming bomb, I feel like I'm not going to get to Marathon or Xbox. No, I will get to marathon today. I just, I would do all the rest of this. If you just like what Israel mentioning Hitler and Holocaust is referred to as old things, do you have the same opinion when African Americans mention slavery or Jim Crow or Holocaust?

I think it depends on what it is. But yeah, in general, like, bringing up something that happened over 100 years ago as an excuse for bad behavior today or to justify anything today is just not accurate to me. Absolutely. Yeah, I think that you have to move past it for sure. I do think that. Definitely. If Iran gets a nuke, Saudi Arabia, Israel will be bombed on day one, maybe, right?

I mean, but the fact that that's even a question is a reason why they shouldn't get it. I mean, just think about that. the U.S. involvement in the That's my point of view and that's my perspective on it. Like I view what I'm saying as the most pragmatic and reasonable and

the most like even-handed perspective that you can have. I mean obviously I wouldn't have an opinion I think is wrong but like this is what I think the most pragmatic viewpoint is. It's not moving past this fact that Ottoman Empire and Persian Empire return. into weapon testing grounds for First World Nations? What does that have to do at all with the fact that we don't want them to have a nuclear bomb?

That's totally irrelevant. We know that today House Republican of Kentucky was also Thomas Massey. He was one of the ones who said he would try to limit the president's ability to use U.S. military against Iran without Congress to say so. As the president himself has been saying today, he might make a decision about how to engage here. They said Trump was going to go live today. at some point and talk about it, but we don't really know. I also want to say that anything that Trump says is probably a lie. It's probably a lie to destabilize or mislead the Iranian government,

and then he will take advantage of them acting in the way that he has misled them. That's probably what's going to happen. Hopefully he declines to join. Yeah, and then he just joins anyway. Yeah, for sure. I'll be tracking it all afternoon. Thanks, Mark. John. You bet. All right. Let's go live to Tel Aviv now bringing the former Israeli ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren. Michael, it's good to be with you. I want to start you here. This is the latest from President Trump. A couple of big posts on Truth Social.

He said, first of all, we know exactly where the so-called Supreme Leader is hiding. He is an easy target, but is safe there. We are not going to take him out in brackets kill, at least not for now. But we don't want missile shot at civilians or American soldiers. soldiers, our patience is wearing thin. And then a few minutes later, the president followed up with this, said, unconditional surrender. Sounds like he's done talking to Iran. He just wants them to lay down their arms. He wants them to agree to end their nuclear program. He's not in the mood anymore. Or it may escalate from here. What are you thinking in this moment? I think it's extraordinary. We're in a truly historic moment. John, Gillian, always good to be with you. Who would have thought? This is one of the most wicked regimes. It's not just that they have tried to destroy the state of Israel again and again

for the last 46 years. They are the world's largest state sponsor of terror. They're responsible for thousands of deaths, deaths of Americans to around the world. They are the major backers of Hezbollah and Hamas that triggered this horrendous Middle Eastern war for the last year and a half. They supply. Trump tweeting, unconditional surrender just helps the current Iranian regime exploit their people using religious fanaticism as a weapon. Doesn't help a peaceful transition in any shape or form. I don't know. I mean, you could be right. I mean, maybe. I don't know. The drones and the rockets that kill Ukrainians. I can go on and on. This is a truly wicked, wicked regime. And when the president says total surrender, unconditional surrender, we couldn't agree more.

And we hope it's not just about their nuclear program. It's the end of Iran's support for terror. It's the end of Iran. They want to get rid of the entire government. Like this war will not be over until the end of the end. entire government is either dead or in jail. That's the truth. Quote me on it, and we'll see what happens. Attempt to assassinate American leaders, including President Trump himself.

I mean, who lets a regime get away with that? It's not just about their ability to enrich uranium. So it's an extraordinary moment. And we greatly appreciate the president's support for us throughout this crisis. I just say you watched Nick Fuentes? I mean, I've watched Nick before, yeah. I've seen Nick's stream. Of course.

Yeah, I mean, I'm not, I don't watch him every day, but yeah, I've seen plenty of clips. Sure. Like, what do you want? Yeah, I mean, I didn't get that for, I don't know if Nick said that or not. But like, yeah, of course I know who Nick is. Sure. It's providing us with munitions, even with jet fuel. And if the president decides that he in the United States wants to intervene directly,

we're the last people going to say no. Well, let me ask you this question. Can Israel accomplish its goals of eliminating Iran's nuclear program without U.S. help? I think so, yeah. But I'm about eliminating. We certainly degrade it extremely. And if the Iranians do come back to negotiating table, they're going to negotiate about dismantling the program and not just tapping the enrichment. And the great thing is... Bro, like, I think that they're totally off. That's totally off the table now.

I think it's either you dismantle it completely or you get dismantling it completely. or you get dismantled completely. Two options. That's pretty clear like what, that's, yeah, negotiations are over. It'll be discussing dismantling nuclear facilities that are already dismantled to a certain extent. And yes, we do not have strategic bombers.

We don't have B-52s or B-1s, B-2s. We have these wonderful American-made jets, F-15s, F-16s, and F-35. So it's just done an extraordinary job. And the president praised American weaponry today, and we couldn't agree more. But again, we don't have things that can carry these bunker busting bombs. They weigh 30,000 pounds that can penetrate an underground facility like the facility at Fordo. We could take our time.

We could begin to sort of peel off various layers of that mountain. But that would take a very long time. The United States can do it much more swiftly, cleanly, and effectively. Well, the issue, though, is Fordo. And if Iran, if there were to be a ceasefire declared, And Fordo was intact. Do you have any belief that the Ayatollah would actually agree to dismantle that? Or would it be?

They will. Or they die. Two options. Most people will choose not to die. Yeah. That's it. Left intact. And eventually, as he's done so many times in the...

Somebody says, why can Iran have nukes? A lot of people ask that question. It's pretty simple. Because we don't want them to. Now, there's reasons why we don't want them to, but the ultimate reality is because we don't want them to. It doesn't really matter what the reason is. Passed. Drag this out at the same time, reconstituting its nuclear program, so that in a couple or three years, you'd be right back here where we are now.

Exactly. That's our feeling, too. Yeah, the whole system. The whole architecture of the Iranian nuclear program has to be dismantled and it has to be verified. whether it's dismantled through an agreement or dismantled through a kinetic measures, as I say euphemistically, by military measures. Kinetic measures. Bro, this is some next level euphemisms. I've never heard that before.

Oh, my God. Disabled by kinetic measures. Like kinetic diplomacy? That is okay too. That's the goal, though. It's a good one. I would stress it shouldn't be just about the nuclear program. It has to be what we used to call, you know,

sort of the euphemistically, Iran's maligned behavior as if Iran was sort of wrecking its room in some way. Iran, the world's sponsor, just killed a hundred of Americans in Beirut, as you remember, John. Tack assassinate American leaders, everyone from John Bolton to Mike Pell to the president himself. And by the way, they tried to assassinate me when I was in Washington, in Washington, D.C. So Ron's trying to kill a bunch of people.

Yeah. I mean, like, again, that's a lot. Gaddafi gave up his shit and he was killed and sodomized within a month. The same shit will happen to Iran when the citizens get a hold of Ayatollah. Yeah. Yeah. His best case scenario is that he goes to a completely different country that protects him. They don't care.

These people are terrorists and they should not get anywhere near a nuclear facility. So, you know, we talk about the head of the snake. And President Trump has said, we know where the Ayatollah is. He's safe for now, at least. Apparently, there are reports that the president vetoed the idea that Israel would take him out. Senator John Federman was on Fox earlier today and said he thought that was a mistake. Listen here. I think they should have targeted him, absolutely gone taking him out.

I think the way Israel operates, they just take out the leadership, just like they did with Hezbo. I don't agree. I see what he's saying, but I don't agree. I think that it's important to hold that card as long as you. you can. Yep. And they've already done that with... And ideally, ideally, the best case scenario is that the citizens do it. The best case is that the citizens find him and then deal with him themselves.

That is the best case scenario. Because that is the Iranian people deciding their own fate. Like Gaddafi? Yeah. Westweaker, thanks a hundred subs. Holy shit. Thank you. You're right. The longer you keep them, the more time you have to rile up people against them. Yeah. They could have assassinated them, but they didn't. They think more about it than us?

Yeah, of course. Do you think you can hold that card too long, though? Theoretically, yeah. I mean, obviously, I mean, every action is a risk. The Iranian leadership just took them out even laying in their beds, and they didn't take down the whole building. They actually targeted where they lay in bed. So what do you think about that, Michael? You took out the head of the military and the new heads of the military. They were just taken out this morning. You took out Nasrallah, you took out Hania, you've taken out Hamas leadership time and time again on the ground there in Gaza.

Why not just get rid of the Ayatollah? Or are you concerned with what might follow in the power vacuum? I don't think anybody in the state of Israel would shed a slightest tier if Mr. Khomeini would meet his maker. I think the maker would be very happy to see him. No, I think what I really thought, you know, is my background is in military history when the president said unconditional surrender, what does that evoke? It meant when Roosevelt said that about Japan and World War II. And when Japan surrendered, Roosevelt and the allies said, well, we're going to keep Emperor Hiro Hiro Hito, even though he bears a tremendous amount of responsibility for the attack on Pearl Harbor and the horrors.

Yeah, they didn't execute the emperor. and affected throughout the world. We're going to keep him because we need his legitimacy to legitimize the surrender. No, that was the first thing that came to mind. Preparing for the day that Iran does agree to total unconditional surrender. All right. Maybe you do need a prominent leader in order to make it legitimate. Michael, always good to talk to you.

Thank you so much. We hope that you and your love would stay safe. through all of this. Somebody says they never surrendered. The emperor said we accept a change in circumstances. Yeah, accepting the change in circumstances is just about as much of a bullshit answer as kinetic diplomacy. Like, what are we talking about here?

Bro, you're accepting it because you have to. You're done. Bro, like, you're cooked. Like, now, yeah, they're going to let him go out. Yeah. Oh, you want to say it that way? Sure. Go ahead. You know, who cares?
