- 0:12Speaker 1: Tensions remain high as Iran continues to signal its readiness
- 0:15Speaker 1: for further confrontation. Iranian officials have revealed detailed plans to
- 0:19Speaker 1: target undersea communications cables in the Gulf should the United
- 0:23Speaker 1: States and Israel attack again, a move that could severely
- 0:26Speaker 1: disrupt regional networks and communications. This comes amidst reports that
- 0:31Speaker 1: US and Israeli militaries have drawn up specific plans for
- 0:35Speaker 1: renewed strikes against Iran, potentially after the upcoming US midterm elections.
- 0:40Speaker 1: President Trump has spoken of the possibility of a new
- 0:43Speaker 1: military operation, dubbed Operation Epic Fury, though he also acknowledged
- 0:48Speaker 1: discussions about the war's conclusion. Meanwhile, an unusual Israeli Air
- 0:52Speaker 1: Force flight to the Iranian border was reportedly conducted, quietly.
- 0:56Speaker 1: And Iran has stated it is ready to bet on everything,
- 0:59Speaker 1: regarding its revenge plans. Internationally, a meeting in Istanbul saw
- 1:04Speaker 1: Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fiden warn against any renewed attack
- 1:07Speaker 1: on Iran, emphasising that diplomacy is the only path forward,
- 1:12Speaker 1: a sentiment echoed by European ministers concerned about escalating tensions
- 1:17Speaker 1: and rising oil prices. In security news, a tragic terror
- 1:21Speaker 1: attack occurred at the Yehuda Junction, resulting in the deaths
- 1:24Speaker 1: of two IDF soldiers, Ron Yonatan Reitman and Yuval Shea Soylem.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Security forces have launched a counter-terrorism operation in the Hebron area,
- 1:33Speaker 1: targeting those responsible for the attack. On the US policy front,
- 1:38Speaker 1: the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or AIPAC, announced a
- 1:42Speaker 1: significant shift in its political strategy. The prominent pro-Israel lobby
- 1:46Speaker 1: is ending its direct contributions and candidate endorsements, refocusing on
- 1:51Speaker 1: mobilising individual donors. Supporters view this as a strategic course
- 1:55Speaker 1: correction amidst challenging political headwinds, while critics have characterised it
- 2:00Speaker 1: as a concession. In distressing news, a Utah man, Skyler A.J. Rose,
- 2:04Speaker 1: faces charges including attempting to commit a hate crime. Authorities
- 2:09Speaker 1: discovered six pipe bombs, two rifles and ammunition at his
- 2:12Speaker 1: residence after he allegedly made online threats to blow up
- 2:16Speaker 1: a synagogue and searched for local synagogues online. Turning to
