LIVE | Trump Issues Ultimatum To Iran | Israel Iran War Updates | Netanyahu | Khamenei | N18G
Started streaming 29 minutes ago #trump #israeliranwar #israeliranconflict US President Donald Trump’s self-imposed two-week delay to decide whether to strike Iran has sparked confusion and conjecture in Israel.
Some of Israel’s most senior officials had openly pushed for US involvement, arguing that American military involvement can shorten the conflict and allow Israel to achieve its goal of removing what it has long perceived as an existential threat of a nuclear Iran armed with ballistic missiles.
#israeliranwar #trump #nuclearsites U.S. President Donald Trump delivers an address to the nation on US military strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. This comes as US attacked three Iranian nuclear sites, joining Israeli air campaign as Tehran promises to retaliate.
“I will be giving an Address to the Nation at 10:00 P.M., at the White House, regarding our very successful military operation in Iran. This is an HISTORIC MOMENT FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ISRAEL, AND THE WORLD. IRAN MUST NOW AGREE TO END THIS WAR. THANK YOU!” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post.
00:00made it 80% of the ballots counted. The race is headed to a ranked choice process. That's because
00:04none of the candidates are hitting that 50% threshold. So, while we were speaking with
00:10Alone just now, we saw that former Governor Cuomo spoke to his watch party. He said,
00:17tonight is not our night. Let's look at his remarks in full.
00:22They're a marvelous campaign and worked so hard. I've worked with a lot of different groups of
00:28people, and I've been through a lot of campaigns. But I have to tell you, this was a really special,
00:33talented group of people. I want to thank all the elected officials who stepped up. I want to
00:40thank the labor leaders who stepped up. I want to thank the carpenters where we got it started,
00:46and HTC in 1199. Give them a round of applause.
00:52They were really fantastic. I want to thank Mayor Bloomberg, who stepped forward in a big way.
01:07I enjoyed having the team back together again. I'll tell you the truth. People came back from
01:14when I was at HUD. The HUD team came back. That's 30 years ago. And the Attorney General team,
01:25that's 20 years ago. And the Governor's team and friends that go back to my childhood. So,
01:32it was, that was all, that was all enjoyable. And I'm very proud of the campaign that we ran. And I'm
01:38proud of the effort that we put forth. And I'm proud of the issues that we discussed. But tonight
01:47was not our night. Tonight was Assemblyman Mondani's night. And he put together a great campaign. And he
01:58touched young people and inspired them and moved them and got them to come out and vote. And he really
02:07ran a highly impactful campaign. I called him. I congratulated him. I applaud, I applaud him
02:17sincerely for his effort. And let's give him a round of applause. And thank you for his campaign.
02:28Now, I want to look at all the numbers as they come in and this ranked choice voting and
02:34what the numbers actually say and do. There is no doubt that there are important issues that are facing
02:43this city. That's why this election is so imperative. That's why so many people came out to vote.
02:52Because these are real issues. And they're not getting better. And they're getting worse.
02:59And that's why New Yorkers are as concerned as they are. So the challenges we face are real. And
03:07they deserve real consideration. And I want to give some thought about the best way to help address
03:14them. The best way to help the party. But most of all, the best way to help the city. And that's what
03:21we'll be thinking about as we go forward.
03:31So we'll be looking at that. We'll be having conversations with that. Because the work is
03:37what is most important. And the city is what is most important. And the progress for the city
03:43at this important time is what is most important. And in the meantime, I just want to say thank you
03:51again from the bottom of my heart for your really fantastic effort and friendship. Again, I want to
04:01applaud the assemblyman for a really smart and good and impactful campaign. Tonight is his night.
04:15He deserved it. He won. And we're going to take a look. We'll make some decisions. But I love each
04:26and every one of you. And I thank you for what you've done. Thank you very much. Thank you.
04:33And that seemed like a concession speech. This is what we're hearing from the ground there.
04:39Not sounding like someone, Cuomo, not sounding like someone who's running in the general.
04:43Says he will look at the numbers, give it some thought. But says Mom Donnie won. Says he even
04:49called him to congratulate him. Let's take a commercial break. We are continuing to take a live look at
04:56you know, I wonder if we will get a yep, there's his watch party right there. So once we see
05:03Mom Donnie come out, we'll try to take his remarks live. If we don't catch him live,
05:08we'll be sure to play them at some point throughout the night. But for now, that's the news of the hour.
05:14We didn't expect Cuomo to concede, but he did say that he called and congratulated Mom Donnie. He
05:21acknowledged that he won. This is a rank choice vote. So Zoran Mom Donnie is not officially winning
05:30the primary, but we'll watch in the coming days to see where this thing heads. AP has it. Andrew
05:36Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zoran Mom Donnie. Bringing any more
05:42pertinent information from New York City as the night progresses. For now, let's take a break. We'll be right back.
05:57I'm sure most of you wonder what a data engineering role looks like.
06:01While a data scientist organizes, sanitizes, and manipulates big data, a data engineer develops,
06:07constructs, and maintains architectures such as databases and large-scale processing systems.
06:12We'd love to give you a deeper insight into these roles and their respective tech stacks
06:17at this next masterclass on a roadmap to data engineering careers. Get to know the sample
06:22interview questions and the overall process to secure such data-heavy roles.
06:26Click on the link below to register and don't forget to attend.
06:37That's a question.
06:55Hello Mike.
08:05An interesting story that we heard about today.
08:09But over the weekend, ICE agents saying they arrested 11 Iranian foreign nationals in 48 hours.
08:16That's according to the Department of Homeland Security.
08:18Learning more about this from our partners in Minneapolis, because one of those arrests was made there.
08:23Let's get the latest from them in this quick report.
08:26The Department of Homeland Security says U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrested 11 Iranian nationals in a 48-hour targeted operation.
08:38The arrests spanned multiple states.
08:40Here's what we know about the man who was taken into custody in Minnesota.
08:46DHS officials say ICE arrested 56-year-old Iranian national Mehran Makkari Saheli on Sunday in St. Paul.
08:55DHS says he's a former member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and says he has, quote, admitted connections to Hezbollah, which are U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations.
09:08According to court documents, Saheli was convicted of possessing a fraudulent immigration document in 2009.
09:17Then stemming from that in 2020, court filings show he faced a federal charge for being a felon in possession of a firearm.
09:26DHS says he was later sentenced to 15 months in prison for the weapons charge.
09:32Federal officials say in June 2022, an immigration judge ordered Saheli be removed from the United States, but say he remained in the country illegally.
09:44Okay, so, as they mentioned, 11 total arrested.
09:48We've got pictures of 10 of them here via the New York Post standing by.
09:51We want to welcome in Michael Balboni.
09:54He's a former New York Homeland Security advisor.
09:57I've got to ask you, when we look at pictures of these 10 people, Michael, are these people affiliated with those so-called sleeper cells that we've been hearing so much about?
10:05Is this sleeper cell activity or not?
10:07What do we know?
10:09What we know is that over the last couple of years, we've had almost over 10 million individuals come to this country,
10:16and we don't know who they are, where they are, what their intentions are.
10:22That's really what has changed the landscape of this nation's security, and we see it right now.
10:29This follows a traditional pattern, and whenever there's conflict in the Middle East, it spans out to other parts of the world.
10:36And, of course, with Iran having been attacked by the United States to take out their nuclear facilities, this has ratcheted up the rhetoric, at the very least.
10:45But we also know that there's really good intel that says there's a great capability in-country right now should the either Iranian-affiliated individuals
10:56or folks that want to do things on their own, rogue individuals.
11:00And certainly from a cybersecurity perspective, the security forces in the United States are really on high alert for a domestic incident.
11:09Viewers often ask me about the threat of sleeper cells.
11:13Two things on that.
11:14What are they is one.
11:16And secondly, is there any evidence of Iranian sleeper cells in the U.S.?
11:20Hard evidence?
11:22So typically, if you take a look at throughout the years from an intelligence perspective,
11:26during the Cold War, when the country was first introduced to the concept of a sleeper cell,
11:32that was people who were trained in the ways and customs of the United States,
11:37they were sent in to create false identities and families and then hide amongst us
11:42and then get a note that says, okay, time to go.
11:46And then they would either create havoc or they would try to get documents or secrets.
11:51That has now changed in the sense that there's an affiliation with the sponsoring agency,
11:58in this case Iran, where people come into the country.
12:02They go to areas where there's a lot of other Arab, in an Arab community,
12:06where they kind of go to ground and mix in.
12:10And this is, you know, when you listen to what President Trump has been talking about,
12:14he's been using ICE to target not just folks that were here illegally,
12:20but folks that are members of gangs, have committed crimes, and pose a security risk.
12:26And so this is something that the White House has been very focused on,
12:29though a lot of people are not saying that he should get credit for doing this.
12:33But again, think of 10 million people coming to this country.
12:37It's a huge security risk.
12:39You've already touched on this, but I'm hoping you can expand.
12:43What are the challenges associated with tracking down, finding even, sleeper cells?
12:51How do you, A, find it?
12:54B, how do you track the activity?
12:57Typically what happens is that there's surveillance under individuals,
13:00that there are folks within a group that, you know, the undercover agents,
13:06you turn somebody in a group, you get intelligence from them.
13:11These are the typical police and security operations that are done to try to infiltrate,
13:17find out what's going on in a group.
13:19Obviously surveillance, wiretaps, the, again, traditional ways of law enforcement
13:24to try to find out whether or not people are committing or planning to commit some kind of crime.
13:29Those are the same techniques that are used when you are trying to identify folks
13:33who might be a part of an agent or agency that's trying to do something in-country.
13:38It's always very difficult, again, because we don't know how people came in.
13:43It's not like there's a date that you know that they were in this port of call for the United States,
13:48you know, port of entry, and that they, you can track them from where they went.
13:52And if they go to a place like Minnesota, where there's a very large Arab population,
13:57well, there might be an opportunity for them to really go to ground and not be discovered.
14:02And so it makes it very, very difficult for not only ICE, but for the FBI.
14:06And there's a recent report that says, you know, the FBI is really focusing now,
14:09shifting away from just simply going after immigrants who are here illegally
14:13to folks that may cause a terrorist threat.
14:16One more thing before we go.
14:18What do we know about the quantity of Iranians that enter illegally
14:21that are not affiliated with any regime-backed group?
14:25No doubt there's people like that that enter as well.
14:29Sure.
14:30You know, it's very important to think, to not think that everybody who came across the border
14:35is a terrorist.
14:36That's not the case.
14:37But I think more important, though, than that is what are the, what are the capabilities?
14:43What's the training?
14:44What's the trade prep?
14:45Like, if I'm an intelligence agency that's an enemy of the United States
14:49and I see the fact that there's kind of an open border,
14:52I'm definitely going to send in assets.
14:54And for nothing else, just to surveil, to find out information
14:56and be able to give that back to the folks that want to know what's going on in the United States
15:00and possibly exploit vulnerabilities.
15:03So that's really the challenge for all security and law enforcement agencies
15:07in the United States right now.
