Israel Insider with Ashley Perry

Description

In this week’s Israel Insider, Ashley Perry reports from Israel as missile attacks from Hezbollah and Iran continue across the north, center, and south, forcing much of the country repeatedly into shelters during the broadcast.

He examines growing speculation over when the U.S. to Israel campaign against Iran may end, arguing that the timing now depends largely on Donald Trump, whose political and economic calculations are shaping the final phase of the operation.

Ashley explains how pressure from Gulf oil producers, disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz, and differing U.S. to Israeli views over target selection are influencing whether strikes continue despite Israel’s claim that significant military objectives remain.

The episode also explores what victory would look like, from securing Iran’s remaining enriched uranium at Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant to weakening the regime enough to create conditions for internal unrest.

Ashley also reviews the elevation of Mojtaba Khamenei, renewed fighting with Hezbollah, and tentative ceasefire signals from Lebanon.

He concludes by assessing whether military pressure alone can produce lasting strategic gains if the regime in Tehran remains in place.
