How did sources describe the sudden escalation between Israel and Iran?

Don Lemon 0:00
Tara, this is a source that we both know, but I don't want to give it a name. They said we can use it on background. I said, real quickly, if you have time this morning, can you please tell me, give me your thoughts on what's happening in Iran? And he said, incredibly unstable situation. I don't think it's disconnected from the chaotic without a planned messaging from the White House. While many certainly fear Trump's wrath, I think others, including Netanyahu, think the lack of their there means that they do what they want. And we see what happens later. Iran is severely weakened, though. So that's the only reason that this could be contained, if there is a reason for it. What do you think of that?
Tara Palmeri 0:41
Yeah, I think that they that they make decisions based on when they think they can. I mean, President Trump has lost interest in the war in Israel. I mean, I think you saw in Gaza. I think you saw that when he came to the Middle East and he didn't stop. in Israel on the way back to me with Bibi Netanyahu. I think there's a feeling that he's dealing with so much on the ground at home that everyone can advance their military plans without having to really run it by him, right? Without having to make sure, although he says he's been aware all along and he said there's a lot more coming. I mean, he said that to ABC this morning, so I'm not sure what that means. And when he was asked if that meant that there'd be American military intervention, he said he can't comment on it right now.
Tara Palmeri 1:23
So he's actually escalating it even further. But certainly, I mean, they were in the middle of talks with Iran. They were supposed to have talks on Sunday, which makes me think either it was like a wink, wink, nod, nod. And they were playing Iran the whole time or or Trump's getting played.
Unknown 1:39
Well, that's that's that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Yeah. I'm sorry.
Tara Palmeri 1:44
Yeah, I just I just it's hard to say right now. I mean, because, of course, he's going to say, I knew all along I'm behind Netanyahu. But then why did we just evacuate our embassy in Iraq just yesterday if we were always in on it? Like, that's a pretty quick evacuation. Twenty four hours ago, we decided to get our officials out of the region. I mean, that's that makes me that's to me that suggests that they haven't really been clued into this all along or they haven't been supportive of this. That they don't have control of the situation, frankly.
Don Lemon 2:16
Yeah, and that's why I'm looking down because I'm going to respond exactly to what you said, another source. But make sure you guys hit the hearts because it does affect, hit the likes because it affects the algorithm. The more people become, you know, in these streaming streets, you got to say that right there. It does affect the algorithm and it really does. And people, more people will become aware of our conversation. Make sure you follow Tara Palmieri on Substack, as well as on YouTube and all of the other sites that she's on. Just go and Google Tara Palmieri.
Tara Palmeri 2:44
Thank you for having me. I feel like I'm a part of the Lemonati now. Is that right?
Don Lemon 2:47
No, it's the Lemonastin. It's supposed to be the Lemonati. I ran into someone, one of the Lemonheads, and said, I'm a Lemonhead. I'm a part of the Lemonastin. But I tried to get in touch with you and she said it should be the Lemonade. That's what you should name it. So maybe that'll be the next tier in our membership on YouTube. It'll be the Lemonade.
Tara Palmeri 3:09
I'm buying it.
Don Lemon 3:10
I'm joining it. Another source, again, they said off the record, you can use it. Don't use my name. I think it is a sign that Netanyahu is worried about the discussions that the administration was having with Iran, similar to what you said. And this is an effort to scuttle them. It also has broader implications for the region, particularly those countries working towards normalizing with Israel. And it says, I do think we are headed towards a clash. I agree with that. I agree with that.
Tara Palmeri 3:40
And you were saying... And Israel never thought that whatever deal we were going to strike with Iran was going to be enough.
