Episode Details

Israel's defense establishment is on high alert, viewing Iran's internal struggles and potential collapse as a strategic opportunity. We'll look at IDF operations in southern Lebanon, efforts to counter Hezbollah, and the broader regional impact of the Houthis' control over the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Plus, a look back at former IDF chief Dan Halutz's accusations regarding pre-October 7 intelligence failures, and then-President Trump's remarks on controlling Iranian oil.
