00:00Israeli ambassador to the Caribbean Itai Bardov says Israel had no choice but to engage in
00:07war with Iran.
00:09And why we really had no chance or no choice but to do what we've been doing.
00:15So Operation Rising Line, that's the name of the operation and its objective of course
00:22was to make sure was to prevent Iran that had already reached the 11th hour in preventing
00:28it from reaching a nuclear bomb.
00:31During a virtual media conference held earlier this week, he said his country was mindful
00:36of Iran's uranium fields and its six nuclear facilities.
00:41We knew that Iran had already acquired a huge amount of enriched uranium, 60% enrichment which
00:51you now understand.
00:52There's no country in the world that claims that it has no nuclear weapons program that
00:58has 60% uranium enrichment, only Iran.
01:01And they've acquired enough material for nine nuclear bombs.
01:05So that was one big concern, which means that they were extremely close to the 90% enrichment
01:09needed for the ballistic missile program.
01:13Iran already had around between 2,000 to 3,000 ballistic missiles and they were advancing their ballistic
01:22missile program in order to be able to build 3,000 ballistic missiles a year with the intention
01:32of acquiring up to 10,000 ballistic missiles.
01:35Now, they are also very aware of what they say is Iran's plan to destroy Israel.
01:41And we know for a fact that they had that plan.
01:43We found evidence to that.
01:45They were in contact with Yehia Sinwar, the head of Hamas that initiated the October 7th
01:52attack.
01:53What we think happened was that Yehia Sinwar initiated the attack.
01:57Although the plan itself was coordinated also with Iran and Hezbollah, Yehia Sinwar initiated
02:03the attack on his own accord without coordinating the exact timing.
02:08Israel, he says, maintains innocence in the matter.
02:12We just could not allow Iran reaching that point of having a nuclear weapon in its hands.
02:19Definitely not nine.
02:20But even one would have been a huge, huge threat to the region, to Israel and to the
02:25rest of the world.
02:26Badov says their target is to eliminate Iran's nuclear and ballistic program.
02:32Of course, Israel itself is paying the price for what it has done, what is going on.
02:39And it's a heavy price.
02:41But we understand we have no choice, but more than 515 ballistic missiles have been sent
02:49by Iran and they keep sending ballistic missiles on a daily basis.
02:53They do it mostly in nighttime for two reasons.
02:56One, it is safer for them because in daytime, it is much easier to identify them and take
03:01them out.
03:02But secondly, it is, it's like an attrition for an attrition.

03:11Urvishi Tiwari, Rupanarayan, TV6 News,
03:22Uili what went on?
03:25So, so do the people who go around and are not using them and talking to the farms where
03:32they claim perhaps they prepare them for their needs being needed.
