| 0:00.0 | This is John Batcher, conversation with my colleague Jonathan Schanser, Vice President of the Foundation for the |
| 0:06.7 | Events of democracies, about a Hezbollah threat action attacks from the North, from Lebanon. What is to be done? |
| 0:16.4 | Increasingly the argument in Israel is that something must be done. |
| 0:20.7 | It is unacceptable for the people of the North to live in terror. |
| 0:25.0 | You have 15 seconds to get to your bomb shelter. |
| 0:28.0 | That's not enough time. |
| 0:29.0 | What is to be done is kinetic and less, and Chandler speaks to the ambition of the |
| 0:35.8 | white of the Biden administration to resolve this conflict short of combat. |
| 0:40.4 | But Jonathan Schanser on the challenges of the north and of the genuine predator, |
| 0:48.8 | Iran. |
| 0:49.8 | More of this tonight. |
| 0:51.6 | I can't either, John, you main concern actually right now is whether the U.S. in a desperate |
| 0:57.8 | attempt to try to prevent a wider conflagration, whether this administration is trying to engage directly with Tehran, offering sanctions relief and other financial benefits, which we know the administration, this administration as well as the previous administration, the Obama administration, they had offered these sorts of perks in order to try to get Iran to stand down from its aggressive posture. That would be the only other option that I could |
| 1:25.4 | imagine and that sounds like a disaster to me. And so when we look at the options, it does seem like inexorably we're sliding into a war that again, |
| 1:37.1 | the Hezbollah probably doesn't want it. |
| 1:39.6 | Israel certainly doesn't want it. |
| 1:41.1 | Whether Ron wants it or not, I think that's ultimately the question |
| 1:45.2 | because the Iranians as we know are are ultimately the patrons and the controllers of his |
| 1:51.6 | Bala they continue to operate at the back and call of the Molas in Iran. |
