  Speaker 1: smiled as they breezed past the demo with the assistance
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of a steel drum band to drown out the noise.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Australia's sending missiles to the Middle East, Anthony Alberonizi says
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: we're donating advanced medium range edwear missiles to the United
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Arab Emirates, where an estimated did twenty four thousand Australians live.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: At the same time, missiles Australia had ordered from the
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: United States will be diverted to Operation Epic Fury, Donald
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Trump's assault on the regime now run by Ayatola Moshteba Khamene.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Each of the AMRAM missiles is worth nearly one point
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: five million dollars, and Australia ordered a billion dollars worth
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: last year to bolster our own air defenses. Albanizi said,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: we're also sending a Royal Australian Air Force Wedgetail surveillance
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: aircraft and crew on an initial four week deployment. Donald
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Trump says the war is nearing an end, but also
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: says he'll rain down twenty times the fury expressed so
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: far if Iran attacks shipping in the Strait of Hormuz,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a narrow stretch of the Persian Gulf which enables Mid
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: East oil and gas to be exported to the rest
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: of the world. The President indicated on Tuesday morning, the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: reason for launching Operation Epic Fury was intelligence that Iran
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: was about to attack the US.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: The situation was very quickly approaching the point of no
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: return in the United States found it intolerable in my opinion,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: based on what Steve and Jared and Pete and others
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: were telling me. Marco so involved that I thought that
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: they were going to attack US. I thought they would
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: if we didn't do this. At the time we did it,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: I think they had in mind to attack US. And
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: if you notice they did something which was very foolish,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: very stupid, I would say they attacked their neighbors, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: their neighbors were largely neutral or at least weren't going
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: to be involved, and they got attacked, and it had
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: the reverse effect. The neighbors came onto our side and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: started attacking them, and actually quite successfully. If you look
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: at Saudi Arabia, you look at Uae Guitar and others.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: But they were strong and they were smart, but they
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: got to attacked.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Trump said he was disappointed in Iran's elevation of Iatola
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Mousheva km and A the sign of assassinated Supreme Leader
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Ali Kamena, but despite previously saying it was up to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Iranians to decide, the president said he was keen to
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: find someone weaving Iran to lead. What are you looking
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: for in that person? Are you looking at someone internal?
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: Given that you just said that their leadership has been done.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I like the idea of the you know, internal and eternal,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: come to think of it. But I like the idea
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of internal because it works well. I mean, I think
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: we've proven that so far. In Venezuela. We have a woman, Delsey,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: who has been president of the country, very respected, very
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: doing a great job, and it's you know, no disruption.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: We had as you remember Iraq where everybody got fired,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: the military got fired, the police got fired, the politicians
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: got fired. There was nobody and you know what the
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: they turned into isis and we don't want that. We
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: don't want that. So I would like to see people
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: that are inside go now. They talk about the sun
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of the Shah, they talk about other people, but you
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: know hasn't been there in many, many years.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: The story captivating Australians right now is the fate of
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the Iranian women's soccer team, five of whom have been
• 5:25
