Roland Olyphant: 作为主持人，我介绍了当前以伊冲突的严峻形势，包括双方的伤亡情况和以色列空袭的战略目标。我强调了以色列行动的最终目的，是核安全还是政权更迭，以及伊朗的报复能力。 Henry Bodkin: 作为记者，我亲身报道了以色列遭受伊朗导弹袭击后的情况，描述了防空洞失效对民众心理的冲击。我指出，尽管以色列人对伤亡感到震惊，但普遍支持对伊朗采取军事行动。同时，我也提到以色列可能希望通过打击伊朗经济来促使伊朗人民推翻现政权。 David Albright: 作为核专家，我详细分析了伊朗核计划的进展，指出伊朗已经具备快速制造核武器的能力，并正在缩短制造核弹的时间框架。我强调，以色列对伊朗核设施的袭击可以推迟其核计划，但无法消除相关知识。 Frank Ledwidge: 作为军事专家，我解释了以色列空袭行动为何持续时间较长，指出其目的是削弱伊朗的防御能力，并摧毁其在福尔道的核设施。我强调，如果以色列想摧毁福尔道，就需要美国的参与。同时，我也分析了伊朗在失去制空权后的防御选择，指出其首要任务是阻止美国参战。

Shownotes Transcript

It’s day four of Israel’s relentless bombing campaign against Iran, and the death toll is spiralling. Iran says 224 of its citizens are dead. Israel reports 24 lives lost and over 500 injured in a barrage of Iranian retaliatory strikes. And this war is only just getting started. The Israeli airstrikes have gone far beyond nuclear sites. Government buildings, intelligence headquarters, the ministries of justice and foreign affairs—obliterated. Tehran is being shaken to its core. Is this really just about nukes? Or are we watching an attempt to bring the regime to its knees?

On the streets of Israel, the mood is grim but defiant. Iranian missiles have struck Tel Aviv and other cities hard. So how much more can Israel’s famed Iron Dome take? We speak to The Telegraph's man in Jerusalem, Henry Bodkin, who’s been reporting from the sites of the Iranian attacks. His frontline insights give us a chilling look at the damage—and the determination of a country under fire.

Then we hear from two men who know what they’re talking about. David Albright has spent years analysing Iran’s nuclear ambitions. He tells us how close they really are to the bomb—and whether Israeli jets can stop it. And Frank Ledwidge, former intelligence officer and expert on air campaigns, tells us why this war will drag on, and what Israel’s real endgame might be.
