00:00How close are the U.S. and Israel to victory?
00:03What do you make of what Anna is saying there,
00:05that this is not a war for the U.S., it's a war for Israel,
00:08and that both of those countries are in a lot of trouble in this conflict?
00:12Well, I think there are a lot of misunderstanding here with regard to the situation.
00:18Iran, for the past 47 years, have invested a huge amount of efforts,
00:25resources, money, funding, to do a few things.
00:28Number one, to build a nuclear arsenal.
00:31Nuclear arsenal is relevant globally, not only to the region in the Middle East.
00:37Secondly, they invested a huge amount of R&D and funding in the ballistic missile industry.
00:45Now, the ballistic missiles can reach 4,000 kilometers.
00:49And if Israel would be the goal, why would they have developed 4,000 kilometers
00:54when Israel is only 1,200 kilometers away?
00:59But as a country, they're allowed to have their own military.
01:03Abital, if I can push you back onto the question, are the U.S. and Israel close to victory?
01:10And is this a war for Israel, as Anna has said, not a war for the United States?
01:16This is a war of the United States, which Israel is supporting and helping alongside with very close coordination.
01:25But this is really a global war.
01:27And the U.S., as the strongest power in the world, is leading this effort,
01:33basically trying to have the world a better place, a safer place, without having a nuclear Iran.
01:39Now, look at the end of the day.
01:42We're looking at 12 days in which Iran has attacked 12 different countries, not only Israel.
01:49If the thesis would be true, and Israel is the sole issue here,
01:53then why is Iran attacking 11 additional countries as well as U.S. assets all across the region,
02:00by the way, trying also to expand throughout the region to other countries as well?
02:04At the end of the day, Iran has invested 47 years to become a global threat.
02:11And this war is critical.
02:13And I'm hoping that eventually the world will be a safer and better place for everyone,
02:18for the U.S., for Israel, for the region, but also for the rest of the world.
