Yaakov KatzHOST
I mean, What really can they do to Israel beyond what we've seen? So intelligence flaw, gap, and capabilities.

Or HorvitzGUEST
I think what's interesting is the fact that they were managed to reach this sort of distance.

Or HorvitzGUEST
In order to reach this distance, they had to lower the warhead within the missile itself.

Or HorvitzGUEST
So I think that's what led eventually to the fact that there was a difference between what the Houthis fired directly towards in comparison to what the Iranians, for example, fired.

Or HorvitzGUEST
And of course, Gaza and Hezbollah are much closer, so they are able to fire salvos.

Or HorvitzGUEST
So Yemen or the Houthis didn't have these capabilities or still doesn't have these capabilities.
Yaakov KatzHOST
What is a vulnerability there? Or a weak point that an organization like them have, something that would actually hurt them because it doesn't seem like we've been able to hurt them until now.

Lara KrinskyHOST
What does all of that say to you, just in terms of like the durability of the regime as it stands right now and like the succession? You know, what do you feel that the current status is within Iran?

Or HorvitzGUEST
I genuinely believe that the train has left the station and that this regime is fundamentally unstable and its ability to hold its grip over the Iranian population for the upcoming years will be almost impossible.

Or HorvitzGUEST
This is my assumption, and it is based on the fact that most of the Iranians are loathing this regime.

Yaakov KatzHOST
I mean, there are some good things that we can say, okay, you know what? It's not all bad.

Or HorvitzGUEST
So I think that there are two accomplishments, if you take into account the entire previous year, let's state it like this.

Or HorvitzGUEST
First, I think that we might accelerate at the pace in which this regime is destabilized.

Or HorvitzGUEST
And I'm not sure whether the last segment accelerated it or did the opposite result.

Or HorvitzGUEST
But this, I think, if you look at that past year without Ali Khamenei, which was a glue between all the fragmentation of the leadership, if you take into account the military results, if you take into account the economical results that Iran suffered during the past year.
