Yeah, no problems at all.
Evening from Jerusalem, a tense city.
As I speak to you now, I can hear the sound of fighter jets going ahead, probably heading in that direction, which is towards Tehran.
We've today, tonight, seen Israel launching the biggest missile.
aerial assault, about 200 jets that it has ever launched.
So this has been a day that has, as you've been outlining there, escalated very, very quickly.
I think when you certainly, when you look at the images that have come out of Iran, there are widespread attacks.
And this is not just on Tehran.
It's on sites across Iran, going all the way down to the south.
So this is a heavy attack.
It has involved really significant military might.
Of course, the American buildup here has been enormous, the biggest for decades.
But I think also...
Underline this is some of the rhetoric.
When you look at the words of President Trump a little earlier, it is absolutely clear what he wants is regime change in Iran.
Israel clearly wants regime change, even though the Israelis are talking about three things.
They're talking about nuclear, talking about ballistic missiles, and they're also talking about ending Iranian support for proxies, notably Hezbollah in Lebanon and, of course, Hamas in Gaza and the
the Houthis in Yemen.
But those are three things we've heard a lot before.
Now, I think what we have is an American president saying to the Iranian people, this is the chance for regime change and saying this is a once in a generation opportunity.
