“The Hezbollah ([link removed]) attack against Israel planned for this morning unequivocally demonstrates the presence of illegal weapons in southern Lebanon, in flagrant violation of UNSCR 1701 (2006), and serves as a reminder of the threats Israelis have been facing on a daily basis for the past 11 months. This situation highlights the urgent need to demilitarize the area south of the Litani River and achieve the disarmament of Hezbollah and other armed militias operating in southern Lebanon.”
---Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations, Danny Dannon, August 25, 2024

Early Sunday morning, the Iranian proxy Hezbollah attempted once more to attack the state of Israel with scores of rockets and missiles aimed at Tel Aviv and central Israel. Since October 8th, there have been more than 7,500 rocket, drone and missile attacks against the state of Israel from Hezbollah. The IDF responded by launching counter- strikes, intercepting the incoming missiles, and preemptively striking out against the Hezbollah missile launchers.
Hezbollah, which is just north of Israel’s border, is just one of the many tentacles of the Iranian octopus. Iran has had a 14-century feud against the oil-producing Sunni state of Saudi Arabia. This has only increased the 1979 Iranian Islamic Revolution. As Saudi Arabia has been developing stronger ties-albeit under the table-with the state of Israel, why has the Islamic Republic of Iran been singularly focused on eroding the US relationship with Saudi Arabia? What is their strategy to take over the Saud oil refineries? What is the Islamic Republic’s vision of its role in the region and in the world? How much of a presence does Hezbollah have in Latin America and how does that undermine US national security interests.
Here to answer these questions and more is Ambassador Yoram Ettinger.
