Israel JUST Announced "HOW LONG" & Counter Strikes START

Israel's ambassador responding on the

Iranian strikes and what's going to

happen next. According to the Israeli

ambassador. So, let's listen in. Israel

launching another round of attacks on

several locations in Iraq. President

Trump reportedly telling ABC, quote, I

think it's been excellent and there's

more to come. Joining us now to discuss

is Danny Den, the Israeli ambassador to

the United Nations. Ambassador, good

morning. Thank you for having me, D.

Thank you for sharing some of your time

with us cuz I'm sure Yeah, he definitely

sounds authentic. Sure, you've been

exceptionally busy. Let's just talk

about where things stand right now. Is

this operation ongoing? And ultimately,

what are the goals? Well, the goals are

very clear. We want to make sure that

Iran will not pose a threat not only

against Israel, but against the entire

Western civilization. And specifically,

we have two main goals. To eliminate the

nuclear capabilities and to stop the

production of ballistic missiles. And

let me elaborate on that. You know, it's

not only the nuclear weapons. We all

know about the UNU enrichment and about

that they're getting very close to to

put a bomb together, but look at what

they're doing with the ballistic

missiles. They want they wanted to be at

the same level of the US and Russia in

terms of the quantity and the technology

of the ballistic missiles. We couldn't

allow it to happen. We got intel about

Okay. Yeah. Just to be clear, the United

States and Russia each have like I think

the United States has somewhere around

5,600 nukes. Russia has somewhere around

6,000. This is what we have disclosed.

However, people believe that Russia's

nukes are only like half functional. So,

their reported number of nukes is

probably somewhere like half of that.

And then China has less than a thousand,

but China is like trying to pump nukes

out to try to become as equal of a

nuclear power as the United States. And

now you've got Israeli's ambassador to

the UN basically saying Israel thinks

Iran wants to have as many nukes as the

US and Russia, which is basically going

from zero to 5,000. I mean, Russia or or

China has what barely like three or 400

nukes. They're having a hard time

getting up there. So, I feel like this

claim is a little like Israeli

propaganda-y,

but whatever.

Oh my gosh. Kevin, hit play. Oh dear.

What did I do?

I caused problems. I fixed it. Their

intentions to create another attack

against Israel. You know, we all

remember what happened on October 7th,

but this time they wanted to use

thousands of ballistic missiles and

invade into Israel with their proxies.

So, it was a preemptive attack. So, we

will continue until we will be sure that

we eliminated those two capabilities.

How sure are you right now? Well, we we

will have to wait and see the result of

the attack of last night. It was a major

attack. More than 200 aircrafts

participated in the attack. Many

targets, many senior

military officials were eliminated last

night and we will continue until we will

know that Iran is in the point that they

cannot continue with their efforts.

Including the IRGC general commander. Is

there an Yeah, this is a fascinating

mention because they're basically like,

"Yeah, we don't know. We're just going

to keep going until we're done." Okay,

this weekend could be interesting then.

Tend for regime change in Iran from

Israel. Well, that's not our goal. You

know, we are concerned about I agree.

That's not the goal. Like I mentioned

earlier, you don't want regime change

because you create a power vacuum. Who's

going to take it? Israel doesn't want to

take over Iran because if Israel takes

over Iran, the entire Middle East will

hate Israel even more because Israel's

land territory will just have like

quintupled or, you know, it it'd be

insane. It probably even more than that,

like 10x or something, right? So, you're

not going to see that. So, you're not

going to see Israel take it over. You're

not going to see uh uh the United States

take it over. That's going to piss

everybody off in the area. You need to

have some kind of like either puppet

government or really weak

existing Iranian government. That's kind

of what you need. You don't want no

government. So, you don't really want

regime change because you could always

get like a worse government than what

you had before. The the threats to

Israel for the Iranian people, I wish

that they would have a different regime.

You know, we saw what happened in Iran.

The people are suffering there. They

have no heat in the winter, no AC in the

summer. They are suffering there. But

our goals is to eliminate the

capabilities of Iran. So they will not

be able to threaten us. And then look at

the map. We have no border with Iran. It

takes us hours to fly there in order to

attack those facilities. But still they

spend billions of dollars to to create

threats against Israel. This new nuclear

enrichment is deep into the mountains.

How long will that victory actually

take? And it's called rising. Okay, this

is interesting because a lot of people

are talking about a potential ground

invasion into Iran by Israel. I think

that's extremely unlikely. You already

have covert covert spec ops and

commandos on the ground in Iran,

launching strikes from commando

positions, at least reported by Israeli

media. Who knows? Again, maybe it's

propaganda. You know, take everything

with a grain of salt. A grain of salt.

Maybe these nuclear weapons that Iran

has are just the same kind of nukes that

uh you know what's uh that that Iran had

and Saddam Hussein had, right? So take

everything with a grain of salt that you

hear out there. But at least what we're

hearing from reporters is that commandos

just absolutely are already on the

ground in Iran smoking Iran from the

inside. Uh, in fact, here's some footage

from the Times of Israel, uh, a Times of

Israel correspondent, uh, and it shows

commandos with night vision, uh, setting

up what appear to be this. These almost

look like mortar launchers or, you know,

they're they're controlling drones from

over here, but you could see them with

night vision goggles. Uh obviously these

these thermal

footages are a little bit blurry, but so

you kind of already have special

operations on the ground going on. Uh

and this is how we're getting these

these shots of like drone attacks

against Israeli infra uh sorry uh

Iranian infrastructure. Like this

clearly looks like some kind of launcher

truck. You've got a couple pickup trucks

on the right. It doesn't appear like

there's any kind of uh you know human

involvement here. These appear to just

be stationed uh launcher trucks for

defenses. This appears to be a potential

larger ICBM, but it's very unclear

exactly what this is. Is this like an

oil pipeline? I don't think so, cuz we

haven't heard of oil infrastructure

getting hit. Is it an ICBM that's, you

know, on on the back of a truck or in a

building or something? I don't know.

This is a very hard one to to decipher

exactly what's going on here. Uh and

then you've got another shot of uh this

potentially communications uh air

defense vehicle. Uh you know, we did

have reports that surfacetos surface uh

missile batteries were destroyed by

drones that were smuggled into Iran. So,

you know, Israel is doing some pretty

big damage from the inside of Iran

already, uh at least reportedly. And

it's it's quite impressive because the

you know the the targeting of these

defenses of Iran is just is is crushing

to Iran and it's one of the reasons why

Iran is having such a hard time

responding. They've been responding with

drone attacks but their drone attacks

are just getting blown out of the sky by

you know the F-16 F-16s or or whatever

air equipment and defenses Israel is

using likely backed up by later if

necessary the US military though

reportedly not yet right now. So, uh,

yeah, I don't know. Let's keep going

here. We'll see. Lying. Why is that?

Well, you know, every Oh, yeah. Again,

so point is like like a full-on ground

invasion might not be necessary. That's

sort of the point of what I was driving

with that. We pick a name when we have a

military operation. Sometimes the

computer is doing it for us. So, there's

no real meaning for for the word of the

operation. But but I would say that IAA

published recently that Iran has the

enough uranium to create not only one

bomb, multiple bombs. So yeah. Yeah. Up

to 15. He's referring to the IAEA.

I always get this messed up. The

International Atomic IAEA

Energy Administration Association or

something like that. Anyway, um the IAEA

put out their report going, "Oh, they

can make a bunch of bombs. You know,

they got a bunch of enrichment." And

then uh you know Trump and Israel are

like stop making more. And then Iran is

like we're going to create a third

enrichment facility or some form of

third nuclear facility, right? Uh and

then Israel strikes same day. This guy's

a little hard to listen to because you

know you've authentic accent. Okay. It's

kind of like if you go to Rome, you want

somebody who's going to go it's not

bruschetta. Don't say bruschetta. It's

bruseta. Bruseta. Not bruschetta. What

are you American? You know, it's it's

authentic. It's only a it was a matter

of days to put it together. We decided

not to wait, not to take that risk. We

believed the threat of the Iranian when

they said that they're going to use

those ballistic missiles to destroy

Israel. We took it very seriously. How

much did the Israeli government brief

the US government? So, we we talked with

the US, but this decision was decided in

Jerusalem, and we took that decision

independently, not for the first time.

in the 80s. I want to remind you we are

independently like this is like you know

the United States saying hey if you guys

do it you better tell the world that it

wasn't us that was involved we we had

nothing to do with this attacked the

nuclear reactor in Iraq we took the

decision by ourselves when we attacked

the reactor in Syria I think it will

serve the US and other western

democracies but it was a decision that

was made in Israel do you think the

United States will come to not just the

Israeli defense but potentially if

you're needing help with more attacks.

This is such a dumb question. Now, he's

going to probably answer with, "Well, we

have very sophisticated capabilities of

supporting ourselves, but we respect our

allies in the United States." But what a

dumb question. We already saw what

happened in 2024 when when, you know,

Iran launched multiple intercontinental

ballistic missiles and drones. Of

course, the United States and the United

Kingdom came to help Israel.

I don't know.

that this continues for days and weeks.

Well, since the day there was

established, we never asked the US to to

fight for us. We we know how to fight

and we know how to defeat our enemies.

You know, we have heard threats that I

threatening the US targets that are

threatening the allies of the US. And

you're closing your embassy, right? So,

we we take precautions in different

places around the world. We are aware of

the threats, but we will continue. Also

in Israel, we have to be honest. You

know, in Israel today, we are getting

ready for serious attacks coming from

Iran. It will be very intense, intense

the next few days. We are preparing the

population in this operation. It's not

only about the bravery of the pilots.

It's about the population in Israel.

They will have to follow the guidelines

in order to avoid casualties.

ambassador, as you know, the United

States is there's a little bit of like I

like I feel like the Israelis at this

point are kind of like over this like

okay, yeah, shelter in place and then

like, you know, it's kind of like, all

right, like let's have a beer and then

this isn't a big deal. We're going to go

outside again. Like, how many times can

you tell the Israelis to shelter in

place and then nothing happens? I worry

that it does create some false sense of

complacency for the Israelis. But then,

oops. But then on the flip side, it's

also kind of impressive because it just

means like, you know, they're actually

doing pretty dang well at defending

right now. Distant themselves from this

in the last 24 hours and said they

weren't part of the attack. What's not

clear to us is whether they assisted in

the defense of Israel. Did they? Well,

you know, we have capabilities and we

are they assist you. and they sent over

drones from Iran to Israel. Did you

receive any help from partners outside

of Israel? Well, as far as I know that

we were able to deal with the drones by

ourselves. Yeah, of course you're going

to say that. But we have to realize, you

know, the threat is not only against

Israel. As I said earlier, Iran is

threatening the allies of the of the US

in the Gulf. So, we have the

capabilities. I'm not sure they have the

same capabilities. Are you worried about

response from Iran?

Well, we we took into consideration that

there will be retaliation and maybe will

it be proportional? Well, they know that

we have capabilities as well. So, they

will have to think, you know, twice

before they attack us and what they are

doing there and and I would say that

today we can reach every target in Iran.

We have the control in terms of the our

pilots. Do you have intent to reach

every target? Well, you know, we have

the capability. We focused on on this is

actually that's actually a good

question. The first good question I

heard from the the boomers suit doomer

suits here. Do you have I wonder if

their teleprompter said that. You see

that teleprompter right there? What does

that say? No, actually this is just a

conversation because that says thank

you. That's interesting. Wow. She

actually came up with that question

herself. This is not anti-woman. It's

anti- Bloomberg. They ear I mentioned

earlier the ballistic missile

infrastructure and the nuclear

facilities. How long will that take if

you were to reach every target? Well,

it's not going to be a short operation

and it will take So, is it weeks or

months? No, I wouldn't say months, but

it can take days or weeks like days or

weeks. Okay. All right. Wouldn't say

months. Although, I wonder, did they say

that about

uh you know, the Gaza invasion? I'd be

really interested to see what they say

about that. Let's um you know what I'm

going to do really quick is I'm going to

just like grock it. Okay. So, just for

the sake of time and of course to test

Elon software, let's try it. Okay. So,

we're going to gro uh and we'll just do

this here. Hey,

when Israel first invaded uh Gaza, how

long did they say the incursion would

take? Let's see what it says.

Searching, searching, searching. Come

on, Grock 3. A little faster. No

definitive statement operations. Why are

you giving me 2008?

Oh my gosh. In 2023 after the October

invasion, you dummy.

Come on, Grock. Apologies for the mixup.

Israel's defense minister stated on the

22nd that the operation could take a

month or two or three to achieve the

goal of destroying Hamas. Yeah, well,

it's almost been almost 2 years. On

October 27th, he re reiterated that the

ground incursion would be a long effort

lasting not a question of weeks but a

question of months. Okay, so two or

three months, maybe a few months is now

two years. And this guy's saying, oh,

you know, days to weeks. So basically,

whatever they say, it's going to take a

lot longer. Only is Israel at the United

Nations at the moment. Well, I will let

you know in a few minutes when I go

there, Jonathan, but it's going to be

it's going to be tough for us. Iran

already called for the security council

to meet. Probably it will happen this

afternoon. Max says initially they said

days, then changed it to months. I

believe that uh because I remember when

that incursion started and covering it

that just from memory, you know, not

going off citation here, it seemed like

they were implying that this was

supposed to like, you know, we don't

want to occupy. This is going to be

really quick, get the terrorists and

move out. Nobody expected this to be a

two-year thing. Uh but you know, I will

tell my colleague at the UN, where were

you in in the last 10 years when Iran

threatened Israel? Where were you when

they've sent ballistic missiles? Where

were you when they actually acquire the

nuclear capabilities? So, you know,

words will not stop Iran. Israel will.

The international response. Oh, what a

banger line. That's a banger line. Words

will not stop Iran. Israel will. Arabia

calling it heinous. The NATO secretary

general calling for deescalation. The UN

Secretary General calling for maximum

restraint. Do you think there is a

diplomatic route when it comes to

dealing with this regime? Well, I think

that, you know, always you have the

diplomatic act and the time for that

will come. But we saw that the diplomacy

didn't convince Iran to change course.

You know, for decades they negotiated,

they played the game, they lied. We

found we had the intel that they are

developing nuclear capabilities for

military usage. There's some analysis

though that under the JCPOA they were

restrained, they were capped. They are

not capped now when it comes to

enrichment. Well, you know, with and

without the JCPOA, that's basically a

way of saying that the agreement that

Donald Trump tore up, the Iran deal that

Donald Trump brags about tearing up that

Iran deal unlimited basically how much

enriching Iran could do. And so it's

kind of like a backhanded slam there at

Trump where they're sort of like hey

like you know Trump kind of like there

were limits but he tore up that deal and

now there are no limits you know so like

there are questions about like did

Trump's tearing up of that deal under

his first term kind of lead to some of

this enriching way they were continuing

and what we revealed only recently that

you know alongside the reactors and the

plan that was supervised by the

international community they developed a

military capability

that they were hiding it from the

international community. So once we

realized that they are going to that

direction, we decided to stop that.

Yeah. So I mean obviously you know here

we have uh this this coverage basically

of Israel telling us hey you know this

is going to be an operation that's days

to weeks not months. As we've talked

about, we've heard Israel say, "Oh,

yeah, it's going to be shortterm. It's

going to be days, not, you know, a

long-term thing when they invaded uh

Gaza, and now it's been almost 2 years."

So, unfortunately, it seems like some of

these issues could just go on for a

while. Uh Trump tells Axios that Israel

used great American equipment during the

attack. Trump also tells Axios that

Israel's attack could help make a deal

with Iran.

Yeah, a battered Iran, maybe, man.

Iran's news agency says two loud

explosions heard in at the fore nuclear

site. Ah see this is something else that

I was looking at uh was we've been

looking at the Natans nuclear facility

yesterday. We spent a lot of time

looking at that nuclear facility uh on

Google Maps and what was interesting

was, you know, we speculated that the

underground area of that Natans nuclear

facility was under the dirt. And the

reason we speculated that was because

you have, you know, sort of these these

larger border fencings uh and perimeters

around the outside. Uh you have the

larger perimeter out here. You've got an

inner perimeter here. And there's this

very clear protecting of sort of this

dirt space over here. Uh, and then I

even talked about how these roads sort

of lead into the dirt. You've got these

retaining areas here. I think it's just

like blatantly obvious, you know, that

this is uh basically underground

bunkering, right? Like I mean, if you're

going to have an underground bunker,

maybe have it be a little less obvious

was sort of my opinion. Obviously now we

get this talk uh or we get this video

footage out of um Israel which is you

know impressive but it's their POV right

so it's their point of view that yeah

these this Natans facility does indeed

have bunkers underneath so you'll be

able to see that here in just a moment

but now what we're looking at is

potentially another facility being

struck it's the Ford facility which

we'll look at just in a moment just want

to give you a reminder here of look at

this bunker diagram they give. It's so

cool. Uh,

in fact, you know, I just want to kind

of look at like, can we see overlay of

where like that road was that

disappeared? It's kind of hard to see,

but it it looks like they suggest that

these little buildings here are your

tunnel accesses. It's kind of really

cool. Like, I want to build tunnels.

This is awesome. Uh, this is like some

movie stuff right here. Like Netflix

should be taking notes right now, you

know? Like, how many H100s do you think

they have in here?

probably zero.

Uh but anywh who a lot of ACs, a lot of

cooling centrifuges. Anyway, okay. So

now let's go look at the Foro

uh nuclear sites. So remember, Israel uh

expects that Iran has somewhere around,

you know, 10 plus nuclear facilities.

And we've shown the maps for this

before. or we can pull that up again in

just a moment. But let's first take a

moment and just go to the Fordo nuclear

site. And maybe that's why they're

expecting this to go on for so long

because they're basically just going to

keep pounding Iran until they get all of

these enrichment facilities.

It's entirely possible. So let's go see

what we got. For

Iran,

let's see. Okay, so here's Fordo. So,

where's the nuclear facility here?

Because the other one was on Google

Maps, which I thought was really funny.

I don't think that's the one. That's a

different one. So, here's a power plant.

That's not no fun. Okay, let's see if we

get an address for this. Oh, here we go.

We have coordinates. Possible

coordinates of the facility or this. Did

you know you could Google Maps

coordinates? It's kind of cool. There we

go. Ah,

look. Another one of those bunkery ones.

Look, why else would you have all these

circle roads? I like I don't know. To

me, it just like screams bunker. Uh, you

know, here's Oh, yeah. This is all we

have. And then really these are just

access points. I mean, honestly, when

you see roads that go into the mountain,

it's pretty obvious it's a bunker. Yeah.

Okay. I mean, look at this.

Yeah, it literally goes right into the

tunnel. So, like, how much more obvious

could you be? Let's pave our giant roads

and and show you how to get into our

bunker. Uh, so this appears to be

another facility that's now getting

whacked. Uh, at least according to this

Reuters report. Uh, and oh, what's this?

Oh, this is just now. Israeli military

says it has identified the launch of

missiles from Yemen. towards Israel and

they are working to intercept it. Okay,

that's interesting. This is just now

breaking uh uh strikes against Israel

being launched from Yemen now.

Uh

PS, Trump uh hit Houthis hard in Yemen

to weaken exactly this type of attack.

Uh, so that's interesting. I just

tweeted that. I I don't know for anybody

who actually wants to follow me on X,

Realme Kevin. But that's interesting

because

now, you know, you're getting

retaliation from other areas. Yeah, here

we go. Sirens sounding in central Israel

following the launch of ballistic

missiles from the Houthis in Yemen.

There it is. It begins. So, these are

now some of the counterattacks that

you're going to get. It looks like

you're also getting more strikes uh in

towns north of Iran. These are just the

phases of attacks continuing continuing

continuing.

Makes sense. But boy, it's uh it makes

you wonder how long this is going to go

on over the weekend, huh?

Probably all weekend.

Yeah, pretty generic footage there.

Uh well that's not ideal. Okay so that's

interesting. If now we have Yemenes

counter I mean this is going to happen.

So remember that uh Yemen

is

you know itself isn't attacking Israel.

It's generally the Houthis in Yemen that

attack Israel. But as you could see you

have to launch weapons over Saudi Arabia

to get to Israel. This is very

unpopular. Saudi Arabia doesn't like

this. They don't want their airspace

used for Houthy weapons. Terrorist

group, right? So, what does Yemen

generally like to do? They like to

attack the straits right here. Babel

Mandad Strait, Red Sea, uh, Gulf of We

got this right here. This is where we

get a lot of problems with cargo because

the Houthies attack cargo ships over

here. Uh, and it's a lot more expensive

obviously to go around the uh Cape of

Africa, you know, Cape uh Cape Town over

here, whatever to go around this, a lot

more expensive than just cutting through

here to get from China to Europe, for

example. Uh, then what you have is

you've got concerns that straits over

here could be attacked, but this

potentially less likely at the moment

from Yemen Houthies. Instead, these

straits could be affected and the Gulf

of IM could be affected because of Iran.

Iran's right here, right? But also keep

in mind that when Israel attacks Iran,

they have to fly across Syrian or Jordan

and Iraqi airspace, which is also

unpopular, but is also why these

countries tend to shut down their

airspace when Israel and Iran are

fighting. Uh so little bit of a mess

over here. Then you've also got

Hezbollah.

Hezbollah attacks Israel from the north.

So Hezbollah is usually I mean we've now

got you know barriers that Israel is

setting up like buffer zones between um

northern Israel and Lebanon. But uh you

have Hezbollah in Lebanon that can

attack Israel from the north. You've got

Iraq Iran which is failing uh to send

over munitions and drones to Israel

right now. You do have Iranianbacked

uh terrorist groups inside of Iraq,

potentially even Syria. And then of

course you've got the Houthis over here.

So Israel's got a lot of problems from a

lot of different angles. Typically you

have less of a concern from the Cairo

side. Uh you typically have less of a

concern from the Mediterranean.

Uh but but otherwise, I mean, you're

almost surrounded, right? It it's it's

tough. So now that we're hearing about

these attacks

uh against,

you know, being launched from Yemen, it

it just shows you're getting more and

more of this sort of regional warfare.

And that's what everybody's concerned

about is that this is not going to be

like a two-day war like Israel promised

the Gaza incursion was going to be or a

few, you know, a few months and done. It

ends up being this thing that just drags

on forever. Boils over to a regional

conflict and then oil prices just stay

high and keep rising every every day.

Maybe not necessarily 10% per day, but

you know 3% 4% 5% 5% 5% right over and

over and over again. It just compounds

uh to you know a disaster basically for

consumers broadly. Uh not ideal. So

we shall see. Anyway, air raid sirens

now also sounding in Jerusalem. Uh, as

this now, you know, breaking news is

expanding. Why not advertise these

things that you told us here? I feel

like nobody else knows about this. We'll

we'll try a little advertising and see

how it goes. Congratulations, man. You

have done so much. People love you.

People look up to you. Kevin Pra there,

financial analyst and YouTuber. Meet

Kevin. Always great to get your take.
