Hi everybody. Welcome to Ask Habib Anything. It's Tuesday, June 24. There's a ceasefire.

The 12-day war between Israel and Iran is over. Everything is very preliminary. The dust hasn't settled.

It was a rocky start to the ceasefire, which is very significant and we'll get into it. But I think it's not too early to already start to draw some very

significant conclusions about the nature of the war, the nature of the broader conflict between

Israel and Iran, what happened to each side and where they go from here. Let's get into it.

Before we get into it, I want to tell you that this episode is sponsored

by the Peters family, Tom, Chevy, Daniel, Ethan, Ariel, Yoni, and David, in honor of Belive

Echad. Belivechad is a wonderful organization, and thank you for this sponsorship and thank you for this dedication

to that organization to the Peters family. Imri Rung, 26, was serving in an IDF K-9 unit

when he was wounded 18 months ago while clearing a booby-trapped home in Chan Yunis. The incident caused

nerve damage in Imri's leg and ankle. It left him with severe,

unrelenting pain. Imri had multiple surgeries in Israel, but unfortunately doctors were not able

to relieve his excruciating pain. Then Imri met Belafchad, an organization devoted to helping

wounded Israeli veterans, to helping them heal.

Belafi Haid was able to fly Imri to New York, where doctors and specialists at NYU's Center for Amputation Reconstruction

performed a complex special procedure not available in Israel.

Thank God the surgery is working out, and 18 months of indescribable pain or receding.

Over 14,000 Israeli veterans have been wounded since October 7. Belivechad helps them recover physically,

medically, emotionally. To learn more about how you too can help Israeli veterans recover,

Thank you to the Peters family for the sponsorship and for that very important dedication.

Let's get into it. The fundamental takeaway, my fundamental takeaway,
