The news cycle of just the past several days dramatically shows how the world is in turmoil. For example: Israel initiated Operation Rising Lion last week, destroying top Iranian military leaders and nuclear facilities. Iran's retaliatory strikes targeting Israel have left at least 24 dead. Also, the IDF announced today that one-third of Iran's missile launchers have been destroyed. With Israel claiming air superiority over Tehran, Iran is reportedly sending urgent signals to Israel, U.S./Arab allies and European officials that it wants a cease-fire and a return to diplomacy. The Iranian foreign minister suggested that one phone call from President Trump could pave the way for a return to diplomacy. Bret Baier of Fox News interviews Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Laura Ingraham interviews Fox News chief foreign correspondent who described what Iran's latest retaliatory strike had done to Israel. This is just a sample of stories from the first quarter hour of a broadcast that also featured news on the Russia/Ukraine conflict, the Los Angeles anti-ICE riots, Minnesota lawmaker assassin captured, the "No Kings" protests and more. Jim provided audio highlighting several stories and finished the program with input from listeners.
