This is CBSI in the world.

I'm John Batchel with Malcolm Holline Conference of President's major American Jewish organizations

to Tel Aviv.

And we welcome Orr Isikar, Director of Research at the Israel Defense and Security Forum.

Malcolm, you have a question for Orr about a new information. Good evening.

Good evening. Thank you, Orr, for being with us. Thank you. It's great to be in. You just

completed a very important study and assessment as part of the IDS-F's ongoing work. What is your

assessment now following the ceasefire? Where do you see a realignment

in the region with the weakening of many of Iran's satellite countries, allies, and the

ongoing negotiations for the release of the hostages? Right. So we find ourselves here in Israel and around the Middle East in a critical junction

where we have great hope because we just signed a very powerful ceasefire.

We see the hostages return and thanks to President Trump's efforts.

But also a moment of great fear because we should not lose sight of the real threat hovering

above the Middle East today, which is Iran.

And yes, there are the small enemies, the battle so called in Gaza and Lebanon are contained,

but the greater war, which is waged by Iran, the aettoas in Tehran, is looming and Iran is underturned and it's

rushing toward nuclear weapons.

You guys know the price of nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorist regimes like in North Korea.

And so our goal really is here is to end the war rather than to open a new one by really tackling the Iranian nuclear

program head on. This is something that we could have dreamed of two years ago, but right now,

as though all the Middle East is on fire because of Iran's efforts in Lebanon, Gaza, etc., we have a

real opportunity, really the golden opportunity of this administration
