I'm John Batcha with my colleague and co-host that is McCutter and we're welcoming David

Dayood of the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy to update us on not only Hezbollah, but its master, Iran.

David, we're expecting a strike by Israel to counter the 180-plus ballistic missiles of

last week. At the same time, there's a remark in the news everywhere.

The Vice President of the Biden administration, now a presidential candidate for the Democratic

Party, has said that Iran is the greatest adversary

of the US.

Not debating that, however it does call into question this puzzle.

Recommendations, it's in the news, it might be accurate, it might not be, that

the President of the United States, Mr. Biden, has told the Prime Minister of Israel

do not strike the nuclear, suspect nuclear weapons facilities, do not strike the

oil depots because it will disrupt the world affairs, a world of affairs with oil price spikes. Do not do this, do not do that. It's a

puzzle then, our greatest adversary. What do you make of this? Is the cabinet heating this as it did not

much in Hamas, the Hamas war? There were some moments where the cabinet was careful.

But what is the sense of the

Israeli news and the Arab news about the Israeli response?, I think obviously the Israelis are going to have to take the United States position

into consideration and more so than just into consideration.

The Israelis depend upon the United States for

the supply of weapons which are going to become which are necessary and will

become increasingly so if this conflict with the Hezbollah extends further

than where it is now and the Israelis need American diplomatic support

particularly at the Security Council.
