Danny Seaman talks about Iran, the ongoing war in Israel, lessons learned from 2025 and his conversation THIS WEEK with the Prime Minister.

In this episode, streamed live on YouTube, IDSF founder and chairman Brigadier General (Res.) Amir Avivi assesses the current likelihood of Israel and the United States taking military action against Iran. He explains how widespread protests in Tehran, combined with the regime’s violent repression, could accelerate a decision to act—at a time when both countries were already considering renewed strikes due to Iran’s continued pursuit of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile capabilities.

General Avivi outlines what such an attack could look like, the potential targets, and the broader implications for the Iranian people, while also discussing the currently degraded state of Iran’s air defense systems.

He then turns to the situation in Gaza, examining the options facing the IDSF and the Israeli government as they consider renewing the offensive aimed at dismantling Hamas.
