Speaker 1: All Hri, good morning, Oh, good morning. Your book talk
about someone who can see the future and wow, and
then to see that picture of it being on the
Prime Minister's desk, can you imagine that?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Well we're now the Nostra Damis brothers. We've been
called so you know what can I say? Yeah? I
mean seriously, we you know, our analysis when we wrote
the book was, you know, if the world doesn't take
a diplomatic action to dismantle Iran's military nuclear program, then
you know this kind of conflict was inevitable. There is
no way that Israel would allow Iran to get its hands,
this radical, fanatical Islamic regime to get its hands on
nuclear weapons. And we wrote that book before October seventh,
before that barbaric attack, before Iran proxies attacked Israel, before
for the war with Chris Vala. So for us, it
was just inabletable that this would happen, that Israel would
attack you know, no matter that costs, it won't allow
around to have nuclear weapons.
Speaker 1: What did you base everything on when it comes to research,
because your book is in detailed. This was not stream thinking.
You guys put a lot of thought into this.
Speaker 3: Look in twenty eighteen, Israelly Prime Minister Benjamin of Tanyahoo
and then MOSAD Director Yesse Cohen made a radical decision.
They said, we are going to tell the world in
detail about a MOSAD operation that happened a few months
earlier this January twenty eighteen. The MOSAD seeses I ran
secret nuclear archives from under the nose of the IRGC
of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Basically I ran CIA.
And once the Tayahu and Cohen decided to make that public,
that gave us and some other people access to some
people that we might not normally have had access to,
and then we got to know some of them better
and got the story faster, got them to trust us
and to give us unique details, and then we got
the whole story out there, not just the twenty eighteen operation,
but twenty twenty operations, twenty twenty one, all the way
to twenty twenty three. And one of the things that's
so unique about the book is that usually CIA mozadbooks
are telling things that happened twenty five fifty years ago.
We were able to get these Reelly censor to approve
us revealing details about operations which are very very recent.
And again, like Elon said, it was cleared us that
if there was no diplomatic deal that Israel would eventually
need to attack.
Speaker 1: I ran I am I wrong to say that? I
thought it's about time because how many years have we
all in the entire planet been waiting, you know, instead
of just you know, just doing idle threats. Hey, we're
going to do you take it down, take it down
if something has finally been done, he took a step.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, you know a lot of people doubted
whether Israel has the love and the capability, and especially
they doubt Benjamin Attan now because you know, he said
this many times that we're going to attack Iran. There
will reports and you know the early two tens that
Israel was going to attack Iran. And in the end
he went ahead with this. And you know, not only
does Israel have have the love and the steel to
do this called office, you know, this absolutely incredible operation,
which I think is going to be learned in schools
of military history for many many years to come. You
know where where where it decapitated the entire basically the
entire Iranian military and IRGC leadership. Where it gained complete control,
complete aerial superiority within just two or three days, something
that Russia has been unable to do in three years
in the Ukraine conflicts. You know this, and of course
you know the operations of the Basad and off out
which is is about Mossad. You know, Mosad deeply penetrated Iran.
It's set up these drone factories on Iranian soil, conducted
all these drone strikes concordingly with with Israel's aerial strikes
to really amplify the power of the operation.
Speaker 1: We've got more with Yona and Ilion coming up next. Hey,
thanks for coming back to my conversation with Yona and Ilion.
The one thing that has fascinated me by this is
the way that it's all been broken down. They would
go after the little pockets of other people that would
serve as a threat if they would have went after
Iran a lot earlier, and now that they've those pockets
are broken up. Now that was the chance to go
in there and make it happen. And now the follow
up attacks. This is it's got my attention. I'm studying
it and trying to figure out what is going to
be his next step.
Speaker 3: You nailed it. One of the reasons that Israel did
this now is because it already took Iran's proxies off
the board. It has Bula and Webanon had one hundred
and fifty thousand rockets, and Hamas had rockets, and the
Syrian Asad regime had weapons, and there were Iranian militias there,
and the Asami regime has fallen. Seventy percent of his
Bolo's rockets were destroyed. Hassan ma Soraala, the leader of
his Bolo, was killed. Hamas has been militarily defeated, not politically,
but yes, militarily. So all of the proxies that they
would have used to attack Israel, to attack American bases
have basically almost all of them. They're still the Houtis
in Yemen, but they're less of a threat. Almost all
of them were taken off the board. That was one
of the calculations that Israel made when it decided, okay,
we can go along with this. The other important thing
to note that a lot of people missed October twenty fourth,
twenty twenty four, after Irian attacked Israel a second time
with ballistic missiles. In twenty twenty four, Israel was fond
by destroying Iran's best air defense systems, so those were
already gone, and Israel knew when it attacked, it would
already be attacking the weaker defense systems.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you had to have been cheering on when when
once again twice this year, drones are the superstar. I mean,
how did they get them across the country lines and
to do what they needed to do? I mean you
talk about the most invisible weapon.
Speaker 2: Right, well, from what we know, you know, the Mossad
agents set up these drone factoris on Iranian soil, so
they're operating, you know, basically with impunity from Iranian soil,
from inside around, you know, and they had these huge
drone attacks by going all over the place and drones
you know, from the back of the pickup shocks. So
you know, Israel's penetration Mosas penetration of a was basically
complete complete.
Speaker 1: Wow, where can people go to find out more about Tehran?
I mean target Tehran because I mean this is a book.
We know what's going on in the world today. But
what you're giving us are you're giving us the little
legos to build the actual foundation of this true story.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, Target t Run. You can buy it
at Barnes and Noble, you can buy it some local bookstores.
You can buy it on Amazon from Simon and Schuster.
And you know, Elon is still writing currently for the
Jerusalem Institute of Strategic Affairs. I write daily for the
Jerusalem Posts. So there's a lot of places where you
can read what we have already written and what we
are continuing to write to bring people the story on
the Mosad, on Israeli intelligence that not everybody has.
Speaker 1: As journalists, you got to be looking over your shoulder
because people they know that you're telling the truth and
you're going to get the truth out here? Are you?
Do you at least walk around with bodyguards?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No, I think you have to be in the music
business to four bodyguards, not in not in the book business.
If I did do it speaking to her in the
US recently and in a couple of places, I was
given a buddy God.
Speaker 1: Is there going to be a follow up book?
Speaker 2: Will?
Speaker 1: Will there be a continuation where you re release the
book with the with the actual activities that have unfolded.
Speaker 3: I think all we all we can say is uh,
stay tuned.
Speaker 1: Yeah, son, I love your heart is please come back
to the show anytime in the future. The door is
always going to be open for you, guys.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: Be brilliant today.
Speaker 2: Okay, hye bye, I have a good day.
