Hello and welcome to the Victor Davis-Hansson show. This is our weekend episode where we do something a little bit different in the middle segment, and Victor's looking at 1945 World War II, the end of World War II today. So an exciting moment for our historical study. And we'll do more news first.

And, of course, the Iran-Israeli war is at top of the agenda.

We got lots more questions.

I know we treated it on Friday, but we're going to do it again in just a few minutes

after this message.

Welcome back to the Victor Davis-Hansson show.

So Victor, there's lots, there's so many things to ask you about, but maybe I'll start with the media coverage of the war in, the war on Iran by Israel.

And that is that the Wall Street Journal has reported by three anonymous sources

that Donald Trump has approved in a plan to attack Iran.

And Donald Trump replied with the Wall Street Journal,

doesn't know anything that he's talking about.

Yeah, there's two things.

Carol and LeVette said that he was going to make a decision in the next two weeks.

Well, what I think they're saying is he's already decided on a plan.

It doesn't mean he's adopted the plan yet.

He's ready to go.

And he's moving assets in the region, tankers, fighters, bombers, carrier task forces. So we'll just see in the

next two weeks. And what is he waiting for? Well, what he's waiting for is the maximum

amount of damage that the Israelis can do, both to ensure the air defenses of Iran are

non-existent and they have gone from air superiority to air supremacy.

There are some rumors out that the Israelis themselves, under pressure from Trump, are in talks with General Corrilla about mechanisms that they could take out some of the more difficult

nuclear facilities that are under 100 yards of solid rock.
