Summary

Tensions between Israel and Iran have simmered for decades, fueled by Iran's opposition to Israel's existence, Tehran's funding of militant proxy groups, and their quickly developing nuclear program. In an exclusive interview, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu joins Bret to explain why he believes Israel’s mission to eliminate Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities is a matter of national survival—and far more justified than Iran’s civilian-targeted attacks.Later, Netanyahu weighs in on whether Israel can reach Iran’s clandestine and fortified nuclear sites.
