1:03:08Now PlayingIn this livestream, we break down one of the most controversial opinion pieces yet published about Israel's recent strikes inside Iran. The Jerusalem Post's Ilan Pomeranc argues that Israel made two fatal mistakes: first, by allowing Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his son to survive, and second, by involving the United States in the operation—thereby limiting its freedom to act decisively. We explore why some believe that eliminating Khamenei could have been a game-changing moment for the region, and how this missed opportunity is being viewed as a sign of strategic hesitation. We also analyze the surprising comments from former U.S. Navy SEAL Robert O'Neill, who publicly offered to assassinate Khamenei if ordered to do so. The stream covers the bigger picture, including Netanyahu’s trip to the United States, Trump’s contradictory messaging toward Iran, reports of Tehran’s increasingly vulnerable airspace, and allegations that the Islamic Republic is raising funds to assassinate President Trump. Finally, we examine the growing momentum behind Prince Reza Pahlavi and the “New Iranian” movement as high-ranking regime insiders reportedly defect to his camp. This is a critical conversation about missed chances, shifting power, and what the future of the region might look like if Israel—or someone else—finishes what many believe should have already been done.
