Transcript [00:01] The so-called supreme leader of the [00:04] wicked Iranian regime, supreme leader [00:06] the Ayatollah Ali Hamayi is dead. This [00:10] is breaking news out of Iran as I speak. [00:13] Hi, this is Joel Rosenberg in Washington [00:15] DC uh for All Israel News. This is huge [00:19] news. Uh the United States and Israel [00:22] launched uh their military attacks in [00:25] the wee hours of Saturday morning US [00:27] time against the Iranian regime after [00:30] President Trump had given them weeks and [00:33] weeks uh to to uh let the Iranian regime [00:36] negotiate uh a peaceful diplomatic [00:39] solution to what was a building crisis. [00:42] Trump said, "You can have time. I will [00:45] make a deal with you. It has to be [00:46] serious. It has to be real. Has to be [00:48] verifiable. but I'll make a deal with [00:49] you, otherwise we're going to war." And [00:52] the Iranian regime did not listen. Uh [00:54] the Supreme Leader of Iran, he calls [00:56] himself the Supreme Leader, did not [00:58] listen. And now, uh Israeli intelligence [01:01] says that he is dead, that the the body [01:03] has been found. It has been verified. It [01:06] has been confirmed. This is what senior [01:07] Israeli officials are saying. This is a [01:10] big deal. This is a gamechanging, [01:12] transformative moment. This is the most [01:14] consequential war in the modern history [01:17] of the Middle East. You'd have to go [01:18] back to the Iranian revolution of 1979 [01:21] when a moderate pro-American pro-Israel [01:24] sha of Iran. A troubled and and [01:27] complicated leader was he. But [01:29] nevertheless, he was deposed, fled the [01:32] country with his family and the uh then [01:35] supreme leader um Raulah Hmeni came to [01:39] power on February 1st, 1979 and led the [01:43] Islamic revolution and created a terror [01:46] uh center. not only terror against the [01:48] United States, terror against Israel, [01:50] terror against the Arab world, but [01:52] against the the Iranian people [01:54] themselves. And so, uh, Ali Hamayi took [01:58] over when Hini died in the late 1980s. [02:01] And and and Hamayi is not just a radical [02:04] Islamist, he's an apocalyptic Islamist. [02:06] He is somebody running a a a death cult. [02:10] He hammai believed that uh that Israel [02:15] was the little Satan, that United States [02:17] was the great Satan, the much bigger [02:19] problem, and that it was his mission to [02:22] to destroy Israel, wipe it off the [02:25] planet and destroy the United States. [02:27] Why Israel? Because it's the center, the [02:29] epicenter of Judaism, uh which Hami [02:32] hated. And the United States because it [02:35] was the epicenter of Christendom. [02:36] imperfectly though we are in both of [02:38] those cases. But nevertheless, that's [02:40] why Ham hated the United States and [02:42] Israel so much and and sought to build [02:44] nuclear weapons and the missiles to [02:47] deliver them and destroy both countries. [02:49] And for 47 years, no American president [02:51] really did much about it. They said [02:53] things they did some sanctions here and [02:54] there, but but President Trump is doing [02:56] something that nobody else has had even [02:59] considered. Now, what's interesting to [03:00] me is that uh Hamayi uh his death uh [03:05] comes when he knew he was going to be [03:07] targeted. He knew that this attack was [03:10] coming and yet somehow Israeli [03:13] intelligence found out exactly where he [03:15] was. And what we believe now as news is [03:18] is continuing to come out and keep keep [03:21] focusing on all Israel news as we [03:22] continue to provide coverage from [03:24] multiple directions here in Washington, [03:26] back in Israel, and throughout the [03:27] region. But what's interesting to me is [03:30] uh President Trump and Prime Minister [03:31] Netanyahu divided uh the the the uh the [03:35] target packages uh the United uh or [03:38] Israel rather would would go after the [03:40] political and military leadership of [03:43] Iran and focus on destroying the mobile [03:47] missile launchers that would be firing [03:50] missiles at Israel. That would be [03:52] Israel's target package, their [03:54] responsibility. The United States would [03:55] take everything else. destroy uh what's [03:58] left of the Iranian nuclear program, [04:00] destroy uh the the production facilities [04:03] where Iran builds uh ballistic missiles [04:06] and and and and and take down so much [04:09] more of the Iranian regime. But this is [04:11] the this is the combination. Now, why [04:14] this is very interesting. Why did um the [04:16] attack come in daytime on a Saturday [04:21] morning in Iran? Iran's leaders expected [04:25] a nighttime attack. They expected it [04:27] wouldn't happen for a few more days. [04:29] Secretary of State Rubio, Marco Rubio, [04:31] uh had just announced that he was going [04:33] to Israel for consultations on Monday [04:35] and Tuesday. And there seemed to be no [04:39] evidence that um in the Iranian minds [04:43] that uh the attack was coming on a [04:46] Saturday morning. Now, all Israel News, [04:48] we reported that all the indicators that [04:50] to us uh suggested strongly that the [04:54] attack was coming Friday night, [04:55] Saturday, Sunday. Uh and in this case, [04:58] we were right. Um but the Iranian regime [05:02] didn't see it. And so what happened was [05:03] the reason the United States and Israel [05:06] launched their attack in broad daylight [05:09] is because Israel discovered that the [05:11] Ayatollo and all his top leaders were [05:14] meeting were gathering in a specific [05:16] place presumably to do strategy and find [05:20] lastm minute planning for how they were [05:22] going to defend themselves. and the [05:24] United States and Israel decided this [05:26] was the moment President Trump, Prime [05:27] Minister Netanyahu ordered the attacks [05:29] and so far they're going very very well. [05:32] Uh now Israelis are struggling as the [05:35] retaliation is coming fast and furious. [05:37] Uh Iranian ballistic missiles and [05:40] suicide drones and cruise missiles and [05:43] uh Israelis have spent a lot of time [05:46] pretty much all Saturday uh in bomb [05:48] shelters. It's very difficult for all [05:50] Israelis, uh, particularly for children, [05:53] particularly for the elderly, and for [05:55] special needs folks who are really, uh, [05:59] discovering the trauma all over again [06:01] that they went through for the last two [06:03] and a half years. It's been quiet for [06:05] the last few months, and that's been [06:06] good, but the war is back on. Now, every [06:09] Israeli is is determined to see this [06:12] thing through. Uh, Israelis are [06:14] courageous and resilient and um and and [06:17] Lynn and I have been Lynn just arrived. [06:19] She got out on the one of the last [06:20] planes out of uh Israel. Not because uh [06:24] the war was coming. We've lived through [06:26] the every moment of these wars for the [06:28] last few years, for the last 11 years [06:30] actually, but because we've got Joshua [06:32] Fun board meetings uh here and I'm [06:34] meeting with uh senior officials. I just [06:36] met with Speaker of the House uh Mike [06:39] Johnson uh attended the uh uh the State [06:42] of the Union address, saw President [06:43] Trump lay out his his uh his case to the [06:46] American people why he might have to go [06:48] to war with Iran and now he has. Uh but [06:51] we've got other meetings with uh uh US [06:55] and foreign officials here in Washington [06:58] as well as with evangelical leaders and [07:00] at the White House and and then Joshua [07:02] and board meetings as well. I'll be [07:03] reporting, continuing to report. But I [07:06] think the the key question um for me as [07:09] we wrap this part up right now is the [07:11] implications of Hammoni being gone. I [07:14] believe that we are heading into the [07:16] most consequential season where Israel [07:19] will be in in the modern history of the [07:21] Middle East where Israel in in in a few [07:24] months will be seen as the dominant [07:27] superpower in the entire region bar none [07:30] and a close tight trusted ally of the [07:34] United States. I believe that uh the [07:36] Arab world will be uh deeply grateful to [07:39] the United States and Israel uh for [07:44] destroying Iran's military offensive [07:47] capabilities. Whether the regime falls [07:49] or not for sure, we'll have to see. [07:52] Let's keep praying that the death of [07:54] Hamayi causes the the Iranian people and [07:58] and the government even to rise up and [08:00] overthrow the regime as President Trump [08:03] has requested of the Iranian people. We [08:05] don't know that to be the case. But even [08:07] if that's not the case, even if somehow [08:09] this regime without Hamayi muddles [08:11] through, when the when the dust clears, [08:14] when the smoke uh uh clears, um Iran [08:18] will not be the same place. They will [08:20] not have their offensive military [08:22] capability. They will not have the money [08:24] or the weaponry to fund and arm and [08:29] direct terror operations from Hamas, the [08:32] Houthis, and others. This is going to [08:34] change the Middle East for decades. This [08:37] is the most dramatic, that's why I say [08:39] it's the most dramatic and most [08:40] consequential moment in the Middle East [08:42] since the Iranian revolution of 79, [08:44] which was such an evil uh darkness [08:47] descending upon the region. And it's the [08:49] most consequential moment before that. [08:51] You'd have to go back to to May 1948 and [08:53] the prophetic rebirth of the state of [08:55] Israel, which was such a great thing uh [08:57] biblically and for Jews and for [08:59] Christians uh though it was very [09:01] traumatic in the region. So this is a [09:03] big day. This is an important war and I [09:07] ask you to keep praying for the peace of [09:09] Jerusalem, for the liberation of the [09:10] Iranian people and pray for President [09:12] Trump and his team as they need wisdom [09:15] as does Prime Minister Netanyahu uh to [09:17] know exactly how to execute this war [09:19] moment to moment. Pray for uh US and [09:23] Israeli and and our modern our modern [09:25] Arab ally soldiers, airmen, marines uh [09:29] and all the rest as they uh fight. May [09:32] that may God protect them and give them [09:34] grace, favor, and victory. From [09:36] Washington, uh this is Joel Rosenberg [09:38] for All Israel News. Keep tuned to All [09:41] Israel News. uh to to get the latest. We [09:44] cover it from all angles, but right now [09:46] this is the big story, the big story of [09:49] of the 21st century so far. The death [09:54] of the most wicked, most evil man on the [09:58] planet, the supreme so-called supreme [10:00] leader of Iran, Ali Hamayi.
