Day 625 - US joins the Israel-Iran war, 'obliterating' 3 nuclear sites


Listen Later

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world.

Diplomatic reporter Lazar Berman and US bureau chief Jacob Magid join host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode.

US President Donald Trump announced early Sunday that the US had carried out a “successful attack” on the Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan nuclear sites in Iran. We learn what was hit and Trump's warnings to Iran about either returning to the negotiating table, or else.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities early Sunday morning, thanking Trump for bringing “peace through strength.” 

We discuss the options that are now on the table for Iran as well as the wider implications for the region as the Israel-Iran war continues.

Berman speaks about the potential realignment of regional axes with a severely weakened Iran. 

And finally, Magid weighs in on whether the broader US population is on board with these attacks on Iran -- and why some may hesitate.

Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.
