COMING UP IN A FEW MINUTES MY LIVE INCH OF WITH HIS BRILLIANT PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU THE FIRST AND SEE STRIKES ON IRAN BEGAN. BUT FIRST, THIS AFTERNOON ON FOX NEWS ALERT. THE CURRENT CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST, ISRAEL LAUNCHING A THIRD DAY OF AIR STRIKES ACROSS IRAN, ISRAELI OFFICIALS ADVISING IRANIANS TO EVACUATE ARMS OF FACTORIES AND THREATENED TO USE EVEN GREATER FORCE. IRAN IS SAYING 128 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED, 900 WOUNDED SO FAR THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC RESPONDED WITH MISSILE ATTACKS OF ITS OWN WHICH HAVE KILLED 13 PEOPLE WOUNDING MORE THAN 360I ROUNDS OF FOREIGN MINISTER SAYING TODAY HIS COUNTRY WILL STOP ITS ATTACKS IF ISRAEL STOPS THEIRS. LET’S GET THAT LATEST FROM CHIEF FOREIGN CORRESPONDENT TREY YINGST LIVE IN TEL AVIV. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. SINCE THE CONFLICT BEGAN AROUND HIS LODGE MORE THAN 250 BALLISTIC MISSILES INTO ISRAEL. OVERNIGHT 11 PEOPLE WERE KILLED. WHAT SOME OF THOSE MISSILES SLIPPED A PASS AIR DEFENSE SYSTEMS SLAMMING INTO RESIDENTIAL AREAS. HUNDREDS MORE HAVE BEEN WOUNDED BUT WHEN WE ARRIVED AT ONE IMPACT SIDE THIS MORNING RESCUE CREWS WERE COMING THROUGH A RUBBLE OF AN APARTMENT BUILDING IN CENTRAL ISRAEL LOOKING FOR SURVIVORS. ONE MAN IN HIS 50s WAS STILL TRAPPED AS HIS SON WHO HAD BEEN WOUNDED IN THE ATTACK WAITED TO LEARN THE FATE OF HIS FATHER. >> RIGHT NOW IT RESCUE WORKERS ARE DIGGING THROUGH THE DEBRIS FOLLOWING THE IRANIAN BALLISTIC MISSILE ATTACK THAT TARGETED CENTRAL ISRAEL. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SURVIVORS WHO ARE TRAPPED UNDER THE RUBBLE INCLUDING THE FATHER, HIS SON IS OFF IN THE DISTRICT STILL WEARING HIS HOSPITAL GOWN AFTER HE WAS PULLED FROM THE BLAST SITE HE IS HOPING FOR A MIRACLE TODAY FOLLOWING THIS IRANIAN ATTACK. ISRAEL IS RESPONDING TO THESE ATTACKS IS MORE AIR STRIKES TARGETING BOTH MILITARY AND ENERGY POSITIONS INSIDE IRONIC. IRANIAN IMMEDIATE REPORTS OF 128 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED 900 INJURED. WE KNOW AMONG THAT LIST OR IRANIAN NUCLEAR SCIENTIST TYPE I RGC COMMANDERS TARGETED BY ISRAEL PART OF IRAN’S FOREIGN MINISTER SPOKE TODAY ABOUT THE AMERICAN SUPPORT FOR ISRAEL DURING THE CONFLICT. NOW, AND CONVERSATIONS WITH ISRAELI SOURCES THEY ARE DRAWING A STARK CONTRAST FROM WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. THE ISRAELIS ARE GOING AFTER MILITARY AND NUCLEAR SITES. THE IRANIANS ARE FIRING BALLISTIC MISSILES TOWARD ISRAELI CIVILIANS. BRET: TREY YINGST IN TEL AVIV THANK YOU FOR JOINING SO ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN NETANYAHU. MR. PRIME MINISTER WELCOME BACK TO SPECIAL REPORT >> THANK YOU, GOOD TO BE WITH YOU. BRET: FIRST ABOUT LET ME START AT THE BEGINNING. WHY DID YOU LAUNCH THIS OPERATION NOW? >> BECAUSE WE WERE FACING AN IMMINENT THREAT OR DUAL EXISTENTIAL THREATS. ONE, A THREAT OF IRAN AND RUSSIA TO WEAPONIZE AND THEIR ENRICHED URANIUM TO MAKE ATOMIC BOMBS THAT SPECIFIC IN CLEARED THE INTENT TO DESTROY US BUT A SECOND TO RUSH TO INCREASE THEIR BALLISTIC MISSILE ARSENAL AND TO THE CAPACITY THEY WOULD HAVE 3600 WEAPONS A YEAR OF NEW WEAPONS WITHIN THREE YEARS, 10,000 BALLISTIC MISSILES EACH ONE WEIGHING A TON COMING IN AT MACH SIX RIGHT INTO OUR CITIES AS YOU SAW TODAY. AND THEN IN SIX YEARS 20000. NO COUNTRY CAN SUSTAIN THAT CERTAINLY NOT THE COUNTRY THE SIZE OF ISRAEL BUT WE HAD TO ACT. IT WAS THE 12th HOUR WE DID ACT TO SAVE OURSELVES BUT ALSO I THINK TO NOT ONLY PROTECT OURSELVES BUT TO PROTECT THE WORLD FROM THIS INCENDIARY REGIME BUT WE CANNOT HAVE THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS REGIME HAVE THE WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS WEAPONS. WE ARE PROTECTING OURSELVES BUT BY DOING SO WE ARE PROTECTING MANY OTHERS. BRET: I WANT TO PRESSURE ON THE INTEL ON THE NUCLEAR PART LESSON TWO MONTHS AGO THE DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE TESTIFIED ON CAPITOL HILL SAYING THAT EVERYTHING HAD BEEN SUSPENDED SINCE 2003 AND HAD NOT RESTARTED. THE NUCLEAR PROGRAM HAD NOT BEEN RESTARTED BY THE IRANIANS DID SOMETHING CHANGE FROM END OF MARCH UNTIL THIS WEEK? WAS THAT U.S. INTEL WRONG? >> THE INTEL WE GOT AND SHARED WITH THE UNITED STATES WAS ABSOLUTELY CLEAR THEY WERE WORKING IN A SECRET PLAN TO WEAPONIZE THE URANIUM. THEY’RE MARCHING VERY QUICKLY THEY WOULD ACHIEVE AN INITIAL DEVICE WITHIN A MONTHS CERTAINLY LESS THAN A YEAR THAT WAS THE INTEL WE SHARED WITH THE UNITED STATES. I THINK WE HAVE EXCELLENT INTEL AND IRAN I THINK WE HAVE PROVEN THAT THAT IS SOMETHING WE CANNOT POSSIBLY ACCEPT WHETHER IT BE SIX MONTHS OR 12 MONTH OR 13 MONTHS IS IMMATERIAL ONCE THEY GO THAT ROUTE IT IS TOO LATE AND WE WILL NOT HAVE A SECOND HOLOCAUST A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST WE WERE TO HAVE WON THE PREVIOUS CENTURY THE JEWISH STATE IS NOT GOING TO HAVE A HOLOCAUST ON THE JEWISH PEOPLE IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. NEVER AGAIN. IT’S NOW AND WE HAVE TO ACT NOW. BRET: WHAT IS THE GOAL OF THESE STRIKES? YOU TALKED EARLY IN ONE OF YOUR SPEECHES AFTER THE ATTACKS BEGAN WITH A MESSAGE DIRECTLY TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. CLEARLY SOME OF THESE STRIKES HAVE TARGETED IRANIAN LEADERSHIP, MILITARY, NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS AND OTHER LEADERS. SO, IS REGIME CHANGE PART OF THE EFFORT HERE? >> IT COULD CERTAINLY BE THE RESULT BECAUSE IRAN REGIME IS VERY WEAK. I THINK THEY’RE BASICALLY LEFT WITH TWO THINGS ITS PLANS TO HAVE ATOMIC BOMBS AND BALLISTIC MISSILES THAT’S BASICALLY WHAT IRAN HAS A CERTAINLY DO NOT HAVE THE PEOPLE. 80% OF THE PEOPLE WOULD THROW THESE THUGS OUT THEY MURDER THEM, THEY OPPRESS THEM FOR 46 YEARS. URINE FOR FREEDOM. THEY SHOOT WOMEN BECAUSE HER HAIR IS UNCOVERED. THEY SHOOT STUDENTS. THEY JUST SUCK THE OXYGEN FROM THIS AND BRAVE AND GIFTED PEOPLE, THE URANIAN PEOPLE OF THE PERSIAN PEOPLE AND THE JEWISH PEOPLE HAVE HAD AN ANCIENT FRIENDSHIP GOES BACK TO THE TIMES OF CYRUS THE GREAT IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN BUT THE DECISION TO ACT, TO RISE UP THIS TIME IS THE DECISION OF THE IRANIAN PEOPLE. WE DECIDED TO ACT BECAUSE WE HAD TOO. WE SELL ENOUGH URANIUM ENRICHED URANIUM FOR NINE BOMBS. ALL THEY HAD TO DO WAS WEAPONIZE THEM. WE STOPPED THAT BUT BY ATTACKING THEIR NUCLEAR SITES. WE ATTACKED THEIR CHIEF NUCLEAR SCIENTIST WORKING IT’S LIKE HITLER’S NUCLEAR SCIENTIST WOULD YOU LEAVE THEM? OF COURSE NOT BUT WE ATTACKED THEIR TOP COMMAND. I CAN INFORM YOU THAT MOMENTS AGO WE ALSO GOT THE CHIEF INTELLIGENCE OFFICER AND IS DEPUTY IN TEHRAN. OUR BRAVE PILOTS ARE OVER THE SKIES OF TEHRAN. WE ARE TARGETING NUCLEAR SITES TO TAKE OUT THOSE TWO THREATS. UNLIKE THE URANIAN’S WHO REPORTED THEY ARE TARGETING OUR CIVILIANS THEY ARE BOMBING OUR CIVILIANS THAT’S THE DIFFERENCE THEY ARE A TERRORIST REGIME WE CANNOT LET A RUN OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS. BY THE WAY OUR INTEL SHOWS THEY INTEND TO GIVE THESE NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO THEIR HOUTHI PROXIES AND OTHERS THAT’S NUCLEAR TERRORISM ON A NUCLEAR SCALE DATA THREATENS EVERYONE PRINT THE LAST THINGS AND PLANS TO DEVELOP INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILES RIGHT NOW 8000 KILOMETERS VERY SOON JUST ADD A LITTLE DISTANCE THEY CAN REACH THE EASE IN EASTERN SEABOARD OF THE UNITED STATES. THESE PEOPLE WHO CHANT DEATH TO AMERICA. THEY’VE TRIED TO CECILY PRESIDENT TRUMP TWICE THEY KILLED YOUR MARINES IN BEIRUT THEY KILLED AND INJURED THOUSANDS OF AMERICAN SOLDIERS IN AFGHANISTAN AND IRAQ. TRY TO BOMB A RESTAURANT IN WASHINGTON D.C. CHANT DEATH TO AMERICA, BURN THE AMERICAN FLAG, DO YOU WANT THESE PEOPLE TO HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND THE MEMES TO DELIVER THEM TO YOUR CITIES? OF COURSE NOT. WE ARE DEFENDING OURSELVES WE ARE ALSO DEFENDING THE WORLD. BRET: I WANT TO TALK OF THE NUCLEAR THREAT AND I WANT TO TALK ABOUT PRESIDENT TRUMP OR HE JUST HAD A RUN TRIED TO ASSASSINATE PRESIDENT TRUMP TWICE. YOU HAVE INTEL THE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT ON PRESIDENT TRUMP OR DIRECTLY FROM IRAN? >> THROUGH PROXIES, YES. THROUGH THEIR INTEL, YES THEY WANT TO KILL HIM. HE IS ENEMY NUMBER ONE. HE IS A DECISIVE LEADER HE NEVER TOOK THE PATH OTHERS TOOK TO TRY TO BARGAIN WITH THEM IN A WAY THAT IS A WEEK GIVING THEM BASICALLY A PATHWAY TO ENRICH YOUR RADIANT WHICH IS A PATHWAY TO THE BOMB. PADDING OF BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS. HE TOOK UP THIS A FAKE AGREEMENT AND BASICALLY TORE IT UP. HE KILLED SO THE MONEY IT MADE IT VERY CLEAR YOU CANNOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON WHICH MEANS YOU CANNOT ENRICH. HE HAS BEEN VERY FORCEFUL. FOR THEM HE IS ENEMY NUMBER ONE. THEY ALSO TRIED TO KILL ME BUT I AM HIS JUNIOR PARTNER. THEY UNDERSTAND PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A GREAT THREAT TO IRAN’S PLANS TO WEAPONIZE NUCLEAR WEAPONS AND USE THEM. BRET: WHEN DID YOU TELL PRESIDENT TRUMP YOU’RE GOING TO LAUNCH THESE STRIKES? SLICK I HAVE BEEN IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP OR WE’VE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR MANY YEARS. OBVIOUSLY WE INFORMED OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS AND PRESIDENT TRUMP ARE GREAT FRIEND AHEAD OF TIME. HE KNEW ABOUT OF COURSE. BRET: A REPORT TO PRESIDENT TRUMP TO HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR STRATEGIC SUPPLIES BY PUBLICLY URGING YOU NOT TO ATTACK WHEN HE ALREADY KNEW YOU DECIDED TO DO IT. SO YOU ARE CLOSELY COORDINATED WITH THE U.S. THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS? >> LOOK WE ARE FULLY COORDINATED BUT UNDERSTAND AMERICA, UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP, PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL MAKE THE DECISIONS THAT ARE BEST FOR AMERICA. THAT IS THE WAY IT IS HE UNDERSTANDS THAT I, AS THE PRIME MINISTER OF ISRAEL THE ONE AND ONLY JEWISH STATE MUST MAKE THE DECISIONS IMPORTANT FOR THE SURVIVAL OF MY COUNTRY AND HE WILL DO WHAT’S BEST FOR AMERICA. THE RELATIONSHIP OF MUTUAL RESPECT AND USUAL CONFIDENCE. BRET: THIS ISRAEL HAVE THE CAPACITY TO STRIKE AROUND NUCLEAR SITES DEEP UNDERGROUND? >> WELL, WE HAVE CERTAINLY DONE QUITE A BIT. WE’VE DESTROYED THAT MAIN FACILITY THAT’S THE MAIN ENRICHMENT FACILITY. IF WE NEED TO WILL ADD WHATEVER IS NEEDED. YES, WE ARE COMMITTED TO ACHIEVE BOTH GOALS AND I’M NOT GOING TO GET INTO ALL OF OUR OBJECTIVES. DO NOT WANT TO GET INTO SPECIFIC OPERATIONAL PLANS. BUT IT IS OUR EXISTENCE. NOT ONLY OURS IS A WIDER BATTLE OF CIVILIZATION AGAINST BARBARISM OF GOOD AGAINST BAD. THIS REGIME, LOOK BUT HAS SOME OF OUR NUCLEAR WEAPONS IT HAS FERMENTED EVIL EVERYWHERE. THEY HAVE PUSHED INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM TO THE HILT TO EVERY PART OF THE MIDDLE EAST AND SYRIA AND I IRAQ, LEBANON WHERE THEY HAD HEZBOLLAH. WHAT HAMAS THERE’S A GREAT MASSACRE. THAT IS WHAT THEY’RE DOING WHEN THEY DON’T HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS INCLUDING ATTACKING AMERICAN TARGETS IMAGINAL THEY WILL DO IF THEY HAD NUCLEAR WEAPONS. I WAS AMAZED THAT PEOPLE WHO SAY THEY CARE ABOUT AMERICA AND THEY DON’T WANT A WAR. THEY ARE RIGHT. THIS IS A FOREVER WAR IRAN IS DOING WITHOUT NUCLEAR WEAPONS. IMAGINE WHAT THEY WILL DO IF THEY HAD THEM. I THINK FOR THE SECURITY OF ISRAEL, AMERICA, THE WORLD WE MUST MAKE SURE THEY DON’T HAVE THESE WEAPONS AND THE MEMES TO DELIVER THEM. THEY ARE WORKING ON BOTH. BRET: I JUST WANT TO ASK ABOUT THE NUCLEAR SITES. FORDOW DEEP INSIDE OF A MOUNTAIN. THIS IS IRONIC NUCLEAR EXPORTS. INSIDE THIS MOUNTAIN, ISFAHAN’S WORK IN HIDES ITS ENRICHED URANIUM SOME EXPERTS SAY IT MIGHT BE MORE IMPORTANT THAN FORDOW. THE IEA SAYS IT’S A HALF-MILE DEEP. I GUESS THE QUESTION IS IF THE GOAL WAS DESTROYING IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM, HOW DO YOU DO SO WITHOUT 30,000 POUND BUNKER BUSTER BOMBS THAT REALLY ONLY THE U.S. HAS? HAVE YOU ASKED PRESIDENT TRUMP TO USE THAT 30,000 POUND PENETRATING BOMB TO GET TO THOSE FACILITIES? >> I’M NOT GOING TO GET INTO MY DISCUSSIONS WITH THE PRESIDENT. UNDERSTAND HIS DECISIONS ARE HIS DECISIONS. AS FOR THESE TARGETS WE HAVE DESTROYED ISFAHAN A CONVERSION FACILITY IT’S A VERY IMPORTANT FACILITY WITHOUT WHICH YOU CANNOT REALLY BUILD A WEAPON. THAT IS GONE. THEIR OTHER PLANS THAT WE HAVE, I WON’T GET INTO IT IT HAS COME HOW SHALL ESTATE THE INNOVATION NATION WE ARE CALLED AT THE START OF THE NATION. NATION. WITH QUITE A FEW STARTUPS AND QUITE A FEW RABBITS UP OUR SLEEVE. I DON’T THINK I SHOULD GET INTO THAT. BRET: OKAY, ARE YOU GETTING EVERYTHING FROM THAT U.S. THAT YOU HAVE ASKED FOR? IS IT SOMETHING YOU HAVE ASKED FOR THAT YOU ARE NOT GETTING? >> I WILL SAY THIS, I DEEPLY APPRECIATE PRESIDENT TRUMP’S DECISION TO HELP IN THE DEFENSE OF ISRAEL. AMERICAN PILOTS ARE SHOOTING DOWN DRONES THAT ARE HEADED TOWARDS ISRAEL, AS DO OUR PILOTS. THE AMERICAN SAD MISSILE BATTERIES ARE HELPING TO DEFEND TEL AVIV IN THE AREA. THE SHIPS ARE IN THAT META- TRAINING THOSE ARE ALL DECISIONS BY PRESIDENT TRUMP WHICH I DEEPLY APPRECIATE. AGAIN HIS DECISIONS ON WHAT TO DO, AT ANY GIVEN TIME IS THE PRESIDENT’S DECISION I TRUST HIS JUDGMENT COMPLETELY. BRET: YOU HAVE ANY ESTIMATE HOW MUCH YOU HAVE SETBACKS IRAN’S NUCLEAR PROGRAM? >> I THINK THAT WE SET THEM BACK QUITE A BIT THEY WERE COMPLETELY SURPRISED AND SURPRISED IS A GREAT ELEMENT OF SUCCESS MEMBER THAT IS PART OF A BREAKING OF THE IRANIAN AXIS. WE ACHIEVE THAT WITH SURPRISE AND I THINK WE ACHIEVED A GREAT SURPRISE THE OTHER DAY BUT WE STARTED. WE COULD WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT AND STRING ALONG THE NEGOTIATIONS BUT WE GAVE THEM A CHANCE, I GAVE THEM A CHANCE BUT IT WAS CLEAR THEY WERE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT IT THEY BECAME CLEAR I THINK TO THE UNITED STATES AS WELL. BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT WAS VERY CLEAR. HE SAID HE COULD NOT HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS. IN ORDER NOT TO HAVE NUCLEAR WEAPONS YOU CANNOT HAVE ENRICHED URANIUM THEY BASICALLY STRUM EVERYBODY ALONG IT WAS CLEAR TO US HE WAS GOING NOWHERE I COULD WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT UNTIL THEY OFFICIALLY DECLARED THE TALKS WERE OFF AND WE OFFICIALLY DECLARED WERE GOING TO ATTACK. THAT’S NOT HOW I CONDUCT A WAR IS NOT HOW ISRAEL CONDUCTS WARS. SO WE ARE GEARED TO DO WHATEVER IS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE ART DUAL AID TO REMOVE TWO EXISTENIAL THREATS TO EXISTENTIAL THREATS THAT NUCLEAR THREAT AND THE BALLISTIC MISSILE THREAT WE ARE DOING THAT AS WE SPEAK BUT WE ARE NOT BOMBING THE POPULATION. WE ARE TELLING THE POPULATION LEAVE SO WILL BE HIT THE TARGETS EMBEDDED IN CIVILIAN AREAS YOU WILL NOT BE HURT. THERE IS NOW A MASS MIGRATION FROM TEHRAN. THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING IS BECAUSE WERE GIVING THEM FOREWARNING. BRET: WHAT PORTION OF OUR RUNNING AIR DEFENSES YOU THINK YOU’VE TAKEN OUT? BACK ON OCTOBER THE AIR DEFENSES WERE DECIMATED. NOW YOU SAY YOU HAVE KIND OF CONTROL OF THE SKIES AS YOU ARE PICKING THESE TARGETS. YET, THESE MISSILES AND DRONES ARE STILL COMING YOUR WAY AS THEY ATTACK, SHE POINT OUT CIVILIAN AREAS INSIDE ISRAEL. >> YOU ARE RIGHT FIRST OF ALL WE ARE DOING A LOT TO PREVENT A LOT OF THEM FROM COMING IN BUT YOU ARE QUITE RIGHT WHEN I SAY WE HAVE CONTROL DISGUISE, CORRECTLY SAID THEY HAD A VERY DENSE ANTIAIRCRAFT BATTERIES BETWEEN THE WESTERN BORDER OF IRAN AND TEHRAN. THEY ARE BASICALLY INCREDIBLE THERE’S NO OTHER WAY TO DESCRIBE IT. INCREDIBLE INTEL. THEY DID WONDERFUL WORK TO PEEL OFF THE LAYERS OF PROTECTION THAT THEY HAD IN OUR PILOTS TOOK THEM OUT. AND SO WE HAVE IT FREE A HIGHWAY TO TEHRAN AND WE CAN PICK OFF THE TARGETS WE NEED IN TEHRAN AND OTHER PLACES WITHOUT HAVING HER PLANES SHOT DOWN. SO FAR NONE OF THEM HAVE BEEN SHOT DOWN AND I HOPE THAT CONTINUES. WE ARE ABSOLUTE RESOLUTE TO REMOVE THIS THREAT. THIS IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO WHEN YOU STAND AT THE BRINK OF CATASTROPHE. AND I THINK IT’S NOT JUST OUR TEST. CHURCHILL TALKED ABOUT THE SLUMBER OF DEMOCRACIES. WE SAID DEMOCRACIES TEND TO SLEEP UNTIL THE JARRING GONG OF DANGER WAKES THEM UP SOMETIMES IT MIGHT NOT WAKE THEM UP CERTAINLY WE DID NOT NEED A WAKE-UP CALL IVAN TALK ABOUT THE THREAT FOR 40 YEARS. THREE YEARS OR FOUR YEARS AFTER THE IRANIAN REGIME, THE TOTAL REGIME HIJACKED BY RON AND THE PEOPLE OF IRONIC THAT THE GREATEST THREAT FACING ISRAEL AND POTENTIALLY THE WORLD IS THIS REGIME THAT TRY TO ARM ITSELF WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS. I HAVE DEVOTED A CONSIDERABLE PART OF MY LIFE IN FACT MOST OF MY LIFE TO PREVENTING THAT WHEN THE GONG OF A DANGER SOUNDS AND YOU KNOW IT’S THE LAST MOMENT IT’S A 12 HOUR YOU’VE GOT TO ACTIVATE THAT AS A RESPONSIBLE LEADERS DO AND WHAT I WANT, WHAT I SEEK IS THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL DO IT PRESIDENT TRUMP IS DOING. HE STANDING UP FOR GOOD AGAINST EVIL HE STANDING UP FOR RIGHT AGAINST THE WRONG PRETTY STANDING UP FOR GOOD AGAINST BAD. I THINK THAT’S VERY ADMIRABLE AND I SALUTE YOU FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP. BRET: THE PRESIDENT IS ALSO CALLING FOR IRAN TO GET BACK TO THE TABLE TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE. YOU DON’T SEEM TO BE SENT THAT IS WORTH IT. HOW DOES THIS END? >> I SAID IT IS WORTH IT IF THEY WILL DO WITH THE PRESIDENT ONCE AND THAT IS ELIMINATE THEIR ENRICHMENT CAPACITY. THAT’S A LOT BETTER THAN MY COUNTRY MIGHT FORCES, MY BRAVE PILOTS HAVING TO DO IT’S MUCH BETTER THE OPERATIVES ON THE GROUND DO IT. IF THEY DON’T DO IT THEY CERTAINLY DID NOT WANT TO DO IT BECAME VERY CLEAR. WE DO NOT WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. BRET: HOW DOES IT END? >> IT WILL END WHEN WE REMOVE CAPACITIES. BRET: YOU STOPPED SHORT OF KILLING AROUND CIVILIAN LEADERS MILITARY COMMANDERS, NUCLEAR SCIENTISTS, BUT NOT THE SUPREME LEADER. THERE IS A REUTERS REPORT SAYING PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THE LAST COUPLE OF DAYS AND VETOED ISRAEL HE PLANNED TO KILL IRAN SUPREME LEADER ACCORDING TO TWO U.S. OFFICIALS IS THAT TRUE? >> THERE’S SO MANY FALSE AND I’M NOT GOING TO GET INTO THAT. I CAN TELL YOU I THINK WE DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO WE WILL DO WHAT WE NEED TO DO AND THE UNITED STATES KNOWS WHAT IS GOOD FOR THE UNITED STATES AND I’M JUST NOT GOING TO GET INTO IT. BRET: IRAN AFFORD MR. TODAY TOLD REPORTERS THIS, IF ISRAEL STOPS ATTACKS ON IRAN QUOTE ALL RESPONSES WILL STOP THE ATTACK ON IRAN AND NUCLEAR TALKS DEMONSTRATES THE REGIME’S OPPOSITION TO ANY FORM. THE CANCELED TALKS WERE INTENDED TO TAKE PLACE TODAY SAID I WANT WHEN I PRESENTED A COUNTERPROPOSAL THAT QUOTE COULD HAVE OPENED DOORS FOR AN ALL OUT AGREEMENT WITH THE AMERICANS. SO, AGAIN THE FOREIGN MINISTER SAY IF YOU STOP THEY WILL STOP. WHAT HIS RESPONSE TO THAT? >> FIRST ABOUT HOGWASH. WHILE THEY WERE NEGOTIATING THE AYATOLLAH HIMSELF ISSUED, TWEETED AGAIN AND AGAIN DEATH TO ISRAEL. ISRAEL MUST BE DESTROYED. SOME GOOD FAITH THERE. THEY HAD BAD FAITH WE SAW IN HER INTEL IT WAS VERY CLEAR THE U.S. HAD THE SAME INTEL BELIEVE ME WE SHARED IT. WE SHARE THAT INTELLIGENCE ONE OF THE GREAT THINGS EVER ON PRECEDENT OF COOPERATION THAT HAPPENED UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS THAT WE SHARE EVERY BIT OF INFORMATION SO NUMBER WHEN HE IS LYING THAT’S NOT NEW IRONIC LIES ALL THE TIME. BUT THE SECOND POINT IS THEY SAY OKAY WE WILL STOP IF YOU STOP. STOP WHAT? THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ENGINES OF DEATH OF MASS DEATH CONTINUE TO DEVELOP YOUR NUCLEAR BOMBS? CONTINUE TO DEVELOP BALLISTIC MISSILES LIKE THE ONE THAT FELL IN TEL AVIV I WAS THERE THE WHOLE BUILDING SLAMMED THROUGH CHILDREN SLEEPING IN THEIR BEDS KILLED WOMEN SLEEPING IN THEIR BEDS, KILLED. HORRIBLE STUFF. THEY WILL STOP AND CONTINUE TO DEVELOP THE MEMES FOR OUR EXTERMINATION. THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. OBVIOUSLY THAT’S NOT SAID IN GOOD FAITH. THE ISSUE IS NOT DE-ESCALATION THE ISSUE IS NOT CEASE FIRE THE ISSUE HERE IS STOPPING THOSE THINGS THAT WILL THREATEN OUR SURVIVAL BUT WE ARE COMMITTED TO STOPPING THEM I THINK WE CAN ACHIEVE THIS. NOW, IF THEY’RE WILLING TO ACCEPT PRESIDENT TRUMP’S TERMS, THAT’S A DIFFERENT MATTER I SAID THAT MONTHS AGO AND I SAID THAT IN MY MEETING WITH THE PRESIDENT IN WASHINGTON YOU GET A DEAL IT DOESN’T FINE. NOT BECAUSE THE PRESIDENT DID NOT WANT THAT IT’S BECAUSE IRONIC DID NOT WANTED AN ACHIEVEMENT. SIX OVERNIGHT YOU EXPANDED TO INCLUDE OIL AND ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE WITH IRONIC IS THAT A DIFFERENT PHASE? WHAT’S THE POINT? >> THIS WAS AN OIL CONTAINER. IT WAS NOT A PRODUCTION SITE. IT MERELY MEANS WERE WILLING TO TAKE WHATEVER ACTION IS NEEDED AND WITH OUR MAIN TARGETS ARE THE MILITARY AND NUCLEAR TARGETS WE ARE TAKING THEM OUT WITH PRECISION AND WITH PURPOSE. BRET: WERE NOT HURT MUCH HARSH CRITICISM FROM THE GOLF ARAB COUNTRIES. THERE HAVE BEEN SOME STATEMENT SAUDI ARABIA PUTTING OUT THE KING OF SAUDI ARABIA’S CONDEMNATION, OF THE ISRAELI ATTACKS THAT TARGET THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN WHICH THESE ARE A BLATANT VIOLATION OF INTERNATIONAL LAWS AND NORMS. HOUSE EARLY ON. BUT NOT MUCH SINCE THEN. HOW DO YOU JUDGE THE GULF STATES RESPONSE TO WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW? >> I WILL LEAVE THAT TO THEM. THEY CAN SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES I TRULY BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE A GREAT FUTURE IF WE TAKE OUT IRAN IRAN IS BEEN THE SYSTEMATIC FOR MENTOR OF WARS, SABOTAGE, TERRORISM, THEY ATTACKED THE SAUDIA OIL FACILITY CENTER, EVERYWHERE THROUGHOUT THE MIDDLE EAST. SO I HAVE A DIFFERENT CONCEPTION AND DIFFERENT FUTURE AND IT WAS EMBARKED ON WITH THE HELP OF PRESIDENT TRUMP AND HIS LEADERSHIP FOR THE ABRAHAM ACCORDS WERE WE SIGNED PEACE TREATIES WITH FOUR ARAB STATES SPANNING THE PIECE SOMETHING THAT WAS NOT DONE FOR QUARTER OF A CENTURY. I BELIEVE HE WILL HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO EXPAND THE PIECE AS WELL WITH OTHER ARAB STATES NEXT TO US. THINKING THEY UNDERSTAND THAT IRAN IS A THREAT TO THEM AS WELL. THEY HAVE THEIR EYES ON THEIR OIL FACILITIES THEY WANT THE WATER WAYS FROM THE HOUTHI THEY WANT TO CONQUER THE MIDDLE EAST THE ONE OBSTACLE THEY HAVE HAD SO FAR IS A STATE OF ISRAEL BECAUSE WE ARE THE ONES OF FIGHTING THE OTHER OBSTACLE THEY HAVE IS PRESIDENT TRUMP. AND I WILL TELL YOU WHAT THEY THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP IS AN ENORMOUS OBSTACLE. THEY THINK THAT ISRAEL IS A VERY BIG OBSTACLE AND THEY ARE OUT TO GET US BOTH. IN FACT THEY TRY TO KILL ME TOO. THEY FIRED A MISSILE INTO MY BEDROOM WINDOW AND MISSED. BRET: THE SAUDI CROWN PRINCE REMEMBER SEPTEMBER OF 23 TOLD ME HE IS GETTING CLOSER EVERY DAY TO RECOGNIZING ISRAEL AND NORMALIZATION ON THE VERY NEXT DAY HE REPEATED THAT TO ME. TAKE A LISTEN. >> REPORTS YOU HAD SUSPENDED TALKS TO QUICKSET IS NOT TRUE. >> NOT TRUE? SO YOU THINK IF YOU ARE TO CHARACTERIZE IT ARE YOU CLOSE? >> EVERY DATE WE GET CLOSER. I KNOW YOU HEARD THOSE WORDS IN THE SAUDI CROWN PRINCE WHAT WAS YOUR RESPONSE? >> I WAS DELIGHTED TO HEAR WHAT HE HAD TO SAY AND TO BORROW A PHRASE, I THINK WE ARE GETTING CLOSER TO PEACE EVERY DAY THAT PASSES. BRET: OBVIOUSLY OCTOBER 7 FOR JUST A FEW DAYS LATER. CAN YOU GET BACK TO THAT MOMENT FREE OCTOBER 7? >> I THINK WHAT YOU HEARD IS CORRECT. ONE OF THE POSSIBLE REAMING TIMING OF HAMAS IS ATTACKED, IT’S ONE OF IRAN’S TERROR PROXIES. ONE OF THE REASONS MM BROUGHT UP THE ATTACK DID NOT EVEN COORDINATE IT WITH OTHERS AS PERHAPS THEY WERE AFRAID THE WORDS OF THE SAUDI CROWN PRINCE THEIR OWN WORDS WERE ABOUT TO MATERIALIZE BUT THEY WILL MATERIALIZE ONE DAY, I’M SURE OF IT. THAT THEY WILL BE A LOT SOONER ONCE WE GET RID OF THIS MORTAL THREAT THAT I RUN OPPOSES NOT ONLY TO ISRAEL BUT TO HER ARAB NEIGHBORS, AND TO YOUR COMMENTS TO THE UNITED STATES, TO MANY OTHERS. BRET: LESSING MR. PRIME MINISTER BE REMISS IF I DID NOT ASK ABOUT THE SITUATION IN GAZA. ONE OF THE REASONS IT’S NOT MOVING FORWARD IS BECAUSE OF HELP THAT IS HAPPENING. UNDERSTANDING PUT THE ONUS ON HAMAS FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING THERE. BUT, AS OF NOW WE TAKE THAT GAZA HEALTH MINISTRY FOR WHAT IT IS THEY SAID THAT DEATH IS A 55000 UNITED NATIONS PUTS THAT NUMBER AS WELL BUT THEY ARE CITING THAT GAZA HEALTH MINISTRY WOMEN AND CHILDREN MAY CAP HALF OF THE DEBT IS THERE IS AN ISRAELI ESTIMATE AS FAR AS THE DEATH AND GAZA SINCE THE START OF THAT OPERATION? >> WELL, THE RATIO OF CIVILIAN COMBATANTS ARE NOT NONCOMBATANT IS ONE — ONE. THAT’S HAPPENING BECAUSE WE ARE TELLING THE POPULATION LEAVE AND SOME SOMETIMES AT GUNPOINT OR SHOOTING THE STATE IN THE WAR ZONE THAT’S WHY YOU HAD A LOT OF CIVILIAN CASUALTIES THAT HAS DECREASED AND HAPPILY WE ARE DOING EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO SEPARATE COMBATANTS ARE NOT COMBATANTS. THE REASON THIS WORDS BEEN GOING ON FOR SO LONG IS ONE PRIMARY REASON IS THE HOSTAGES BUT THEY HAVE TAKEN HOSTAGE AS A MEMBER THIS IS THE REGIME THAT TOOK AMERICANS HOSTAGE. >> THERE ARE 53 CAPTIVES LESS THAN HALF BELIEVED TO BE ALIVE IS THAT FAIR? >> SOME ARE ALIVE. THE REST UNFORTUNATELY ARE NOT ALIVE. BUT YOU KNOW, WE STARTED OUT BROUGHT BACK 202 HOSTAGES MOST OF THEM ALIVE. SOME PEOPLE BELIEVED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR IN FACT OUR MOST SENIOR MILITARY PEOPLE SAID WE WILL BE LUCKY IF WE GET ONE I SAID NO I DON’T THINK SO I THINK A COMBINATION OF MILITARY AND DIPLOMATIC PRESSURE, WE CAN GET THEM OUT I AM COMMITTED TO GETTING ALL OF THEM OUT. I SAID TWO DAYS AGO I’VE INSTRUCTED OUR PEOPLE TO TRY TO RESUME NEGOTIATIONS FOR A CEASE-FIRE THAT WOULD ENABLE US TO TAKE STEVE WITKOFF, THE AMERICAN ENVOY HAS MADE AN OFFER TO BEGIN AS 60 DAY CEASE-FIRE IN WHICH HALF OF THOSE HOSTAGES WILL BE RELEASED RIGHT AWAY. I SAID YES WE ARE READY TO GO. THERE HAS BEEN SOME DEVELOPMENT THERE I HOPE YOU’RE ABLE TO DO THAT BECAUSE I’M COMMITTING TO GETTING THEM OUT. I’M COMMITTED TO GETTING THEM OUT, AND ALSO TO GET TO SEPARATE THE HAMAS FROM CONTROLLING THE HUMANITARIAN AID THAT WE TRY TO GIVE THE PEOPLE OF GAZA. BECAUSE THEY ROB IT, THEY STEAL IT, THEN THEY TAKE A GOOD CHUNK FOR THEMSELVES AND HIKED UP THE PRICES AND GIVE A PITTANCE TO THE CIVILIAN POPULATION. SO, WE HAVE A PLANT WE’VE DEVISED WITH THE HELP OF AMERICAN FIRMS TO SEPARATE THE GIVING OF THE HUMANITARIAN AID TO THAT POPULATION FROM HAMAS CONTROL RATE WE ARE ACCUSED OF STARVATION POLICIES AND ALL THESE OTHER DEMONIZATION’S AGAINST ISRAEL. BUT WE ARE A DEMOCRACY FIGHTING AN ISLAND IN THE SEAT OF EVIL AND WE ARE DOING WHAT WE CAN. WE WILL REMOVE THIS PROXY THIS AROUND TERROR PROXY AS WELL. THE BIG PROBLEM, THE BIG QUESTION FOR ISRAEL, FOR HUMANITY COME FOR THE WORLD, FOR ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES IS WHETHER WE CAN TAKE AWAY THE WEAPONS OF MASS DEATH FROM THIS CULT OF DEATH THAT IS IN TEHRAN. WE COMMENT WITH GOD’S HELP, WE WILL WIN. JESUS ADDRESSED THE CRITICS WHO SAY ABOUT GUYS THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE GAZA UNBELIEVABLE TO PUSH PALESTINIANS OUT OF THE TERRITORY PERMANENTLY. WHEN THEY SAY THAT WHAT YOUR RESPONSE? >> BECAUSE IT IS ANOTHER LIGHT THESE ARE INCREDIBLE LIES. FIRST OF ALL THE ARMY IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD HAS GONE TO THAT LENS THAT ISRAEL HAS GONE TO SEPARATE COMBATANTS FROM NONCOMBATANTS USING MILLIONS OF TEXT MESSAGES, PHONE CALLS, YOU NAME IT. EVERYTHING. LEAFLETS EVEN COMIC GETTING THE POPULATION OUT OTHERWISE WE WOULD HAVE AN ENORMOUS NUMBER OF CIVILIAN DEATHS ISRAEL HAS THE FIREPOWER BUT WE DO NOT USE IT BECAUSE THAT IS OUR MORAL BASE. BUT THE OTHER THING IS EQUALLY WE ARE NOT TRYING TO DESTROY IT GAZA THAT WE ARE TRYING TO REMOVE THE THREAT FROM GAZA. AS FAR AS A CHOICE OF PEOPLE THEY WANT TO LEAVE OR NOT, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS GIVEN A BRILLIANT IDEA HE SAID GAZA HAS TO BE REBUILT BUT HAS TO BE DESTROYED BECAUSE EVERYPLACE IS BOOBY-TRAPPED. THE POPULATION FINALLY LEAVES THEY OVERCOME THE THREATS BITE HAMAS TO SHOOT THEM AND THEY JUST LEAVE THEY TELL HAMAS LEAVE OUR BUILDINGS AND THEY WILL ALMOST GET SHOT BY HAMAS. BUT WHEN THEY LEAVE THEY BOOBY-TRAP EVERYTHING. SO IT WILL BECOME TO FIGHT THE TERRACE THEY SET OFF THESE CHARGES AND KILL OUR SOLDIERS. BUT WE DO IS A BIG SUPERCHARGE AND DETONATES ALL THE BOOBY-TRAPS AND THAT THEY HAVE BUILDINGS DESTROYED WE ALSO GO INTO TUNNELS. SOMETIMES AT GREAT SACRIFICE OUR HUMAN AMBASSADOR HAD HIS SON 39 OLD FATHER SEVEN GOALS BECAUSE HE WENT AS A RESERVE SOLDIER TO DEFUSE THESE TITLES WE PUT CHARGES OR THEY BLOW UP THE TUNNEL AND THE BUILDINGS COLLAPSE. THERE’S A LOT OF DEMOLITION AND GAZA, IT HAS TO BE REBUILT. PRESIDENT TRUMP SAID OKAY LET THE PEOPLE HAVE A CHOICE. WHERE THEY LOCKED IN? THEY’RE NOT LOCKED IN AN OTHER BATTLE SCENES PEOPLE LEAVE IT BY THE MILLIONS IN UKRAINE, IRAQ, SYRIA THEY LEFT BY THE MONTH AND GAZA THEY ARE LOCKED IN HE SAID WHY? GIVE THEM A CHOICE THEY WANT TO LEAVE TO OTHER LOCATIONS HELP THEM OF VOLUNTARY RELOCATION OF THE WANT TO COME BACK THEY’LL COME BACK AFTER THE WORK OF A BASICALLY RESTRUCTURING BECAUSE IT IS COMPLETE AND I THINK THAT’S A BRILLIANT PLAN IT IS ALL FOR THE GOOD. IT’S GOOD FOR PEACE. IT’S GOOD FOR ISRAEL AND THE UNITED STATES. IT’S GOOD FOR PALESTINIANS PRAY THEY SHOULD BE GIVEN A CHOICE. BRET: MR. PREMONITION VERY LAST THING I ASKED HER HOME AND THIS MAY AT LAST HE SAID IT’S UP TO THE ABUNDANCE OF YOU HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY AND YOU DO NOW TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE SUPREME LEADER AND TO SPEAK DIRECTLY TO THE IRANIAN PEOPLE, WHAT ARE THE TWO MESSAGES YOU WOULD SEND? >> WELL, THE IRANIAN DICTATOR HE IS A DICTATOR, HE IS A TYRANT. SENT US A MESSAGE CALLING JUST ABOUT EVERY DAY FOR THE DEATH OF ISRAEL, THE DESTRUCTION OF ISRAEL AND AMERICA FOR THE DEATH OF ISRAEL SO MY ANSWER TO HIM IS WITH ACTION, NOT WITH WORDS. TO THE PEOPLE OF AROUND I SAY YOU ARE GREAT PEOPLE. YOUR PEOPLE OF GREAT TALENT. YOU HAVE BEEN USURPED BY THIS TYRANNY THAT IS ROBBED YOU OF HOPE. HAS ROBBED YOU OF A GOOD LIFE. I SPEAK TO THE ARENA PEOPLE DIRECTLY DON’T IF YOU NOTICE THIS BUT I DO GET MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF RESPONSES. THEY SAY BRAVO ISRAEL, FREE US FROM THIS TYRANNY. I SAY TO THEM YOU ARE OUR FREEDOM IS NEAR RISE UP, BE FREE. BRET: MR. PRIME MINISTER WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY DANGEROUS TIME INSIDE ISRAEL. WE POINT OUT YOU ARE INSIDE ISRAEL. WE CAPTURE LOCATION AT PRIVATE SINCE A SECURITY SITUATION. WE APPRECIATE ALL THE TIME YOU HAVE GIVEN
