One thing I want to stress about last night’s operation was the sheer complexity.

1/3 or maybe even 1/2 of the Israeli Air Force was in the sky last night, striking enemy targets 1000 miles from home.

All the aircraft and pilots came back without a scratch.

No simple feat.

Now, ask yourself: If you were a foreign leader and buyer of Russian military platforms, would you want to keep buying them after this?

I've said it before & I'll say it again: Israel has its mojo back. Its Iran strike has succeeded in weakening the regime — but what's next for the region? Fmr. Israeli NatSec Advisor Eyal Hulata is letting me pick his brain on today's @FDD Morning Brief. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Will #Iran respond to #Israel's strike on regime military targets? If so, how and when? These are still unanswered questions, but I'm glad to be joined by award-winning Israeli journalist @Nadav_Eyal to help me ponder them. Grab a hot beverage & tune in. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Amazing how this administration tip-toes around the sensitivities of the political “elite” in Lebanon, deferring to a feckless caretaker government that has been co-opted by Hezbollah.

US message reported sent to Islamic Republic of Iran: If you strike again, we will not be able to restrain the Israelis as we have done in the past.

Me: this is the right message. The question is whether Khamenei is hearing it.

Jump into your week w/ the @FDD Morning Brief. Today, we have a repeat offender — er, repeat guest — on the show: Sr. VP of @afpc @ilanberman. Excited to bring him back on to discuss the opposition in Iran. Maximum pressure + maximum support is the motto. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Anything important happening in America today? Can’t tell from the headlines.

Hezbollah rocket in Ranana.

Crazy night last night. Lots to unpack. The big question here: what can we anticipate from U.S. foreign policy, esp. related to the #MidEast, going forward? Today, I'm speaking w/ @rolltidebmz of @cufi for his take. Tune in. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Hezbollah training center discovered 200 meters from a UNIFIL base.

IDF found launchers, documents, instructional materials, maps of Israel, info on IDF equipment, tunnel shafts, and assorted weapons.

Today, we have a smart British cookie on the show: Natasha Hausdorff of @UKLFI has been debunking the skewed legal claims against Israel as it fights an Iran-backed war on 7 fronts. Listen to the @FDD Morning Brief for her thoughts. Gonna be a good one. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Between Trump’s expected return to maximum pressure and reports that Qatar may be kicking Hamas out of the country, I think it’s safe to say:

The Israelis are looking at what can be, unburdened by what has been.

The key now is to ensure Hamas does not settle in Turkey. Not acceptable for a NATO ally.

Iran is likely. Not bad for messaging. It would convey that Hamas can only find a HQ among toxic rogues.

Algeria or Malaysia also possible. Far away from Israel, yet within reach of Mossad

Understanding #MidEast dynamics isn't rocket science; today's @FDD Morning Brief guest, Ari Sacher, would know. He's a real-life rocket scientist who'll share his 2 cents on #Israel's missile defense capabilities. Gonna be ... well ... a blast. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

We're taking a field trip to India on today's @FDD Morning Brief. Joining me is @MD_Nalapat, UNESCO Peace Chair @MAHE_Manipal. We'll chat about India's response to 10/7, its role in the #AbrahamAccords, the India-Israel relationship & more. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
