We're gonna start with my guest His name is your Ron Brooke. He's a former Israeli intelligence first sergeant Also, he has his own podcast talking about foreign affairs and it is the Iran Brooke show You're on welcome to Salem news channel tonight Thanks for having me on Okay, so you know you were you were a former Israeli Intelligence is that is that correct? That is true military intelligence. Yes. Okay, so military intelligence. I want to talk to you about the latest developments The US drone striking Baghdad that occurred on February 7 killed commander of the Iran back Shiite militia this according to sent come give us your your take on that and Obviously, it was in response to the three American soldiers that were killed in the drone attack in Jordan, do you do you feel like this is a an adequate response by the US military? No, I don't and and I think that that what the US is doing and this is not a military issue It's more strategic political issue What the US is doing is evading the bigger the bigger question the real issue is the fact that all the instability in the Middle East today from what's happening in Israel and both its Northern front and Gaza to what's happening to with the Houthis in in Yemen to what's happening with American troops in In Iraq and Syria. All of it is instigated by one party in the Middle East and that party is Iran Iran has been behind The the terrorist activity against the US has been killing Americans Since really 1979 when they took over our embassy in in Tehran and we continue to ignore the threat That Iran poses to American security we continue to ignore the threat that Iran poses to to the Middle East and and To American interests in the Middle East and as a consequence we do these pinpricks we take out We take out some officer of the of the Iranian Revolutionary guard or we take out somebody from the Shiite militias or all these things But that's just kicking the can down the road ultimately unless we deal in some way with the Iranian regime All we're doing is delaying. They will come after us. They will try to kill American troops again They will stir up the Middle East constantly in order to get us involved and get Americans killed and and we're just delaying Which is a strategy we've engaged in for 40 years and it's failed completely failed. You're on it Biden Relief sanctions on on the mullahs of Iran I mean they've had they have billions and billions tens of billions of dollars as a result of those relief sanctions They're selling oil up the wazoo. We've hindered our own oil our energy independence right here and the United States of America What what do you think the Biden administration is attempting to accomplish with Iran? I mean, obviously it's not gonna happen. This this simply doesn't make sense to me why Why we won't just destroy these people help me help me figure this out Well, I think the whole idea of destroying people is Not politically correct. Certainly not among the Democrats, but a bunch of Republicans neither. I mean During the Trump administration these same-sheet militias attacked US troops constantly killed US troops and And Bush didn't do anything Obama didn't do anything Trump didn't do anything and and Biden's not doing anything Biden in particular is interested in the deal. They were interested in a nuclear weapons deal They're interested in cutting some kind of compromise with the Iranians where they stop refining uranium and they they commit to not building an atomic bomb and In exchange for that, you know, we allow them to sell oil. I You know Biden is still in spite of the fact that they're shooting across the border He's still trying to negotiate a deal with the with the Iranians at the same time the Iranians are refining a uranium They are if they wanted to they're probably months away from an atomic bomb And yet all we can do is talk to them. You're absolutely right The only way to deal with Iran at this point is to destroy this regime It's to destroy the capacity to generate revenue through oil We could do that by destroying their export facilities. They're all in one place. You could do it in a day We should destroy the capacity to build nuclear weapons. We can do that We know where the facilities are and we should destroy the capacity of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard to inflict pain all over the Middle East again. We have the capacity to do that I think we can do all of that without putting any troops on the ground that and without risk any American lives I'm so I'm so thankful that you said that you're on because I know even people on listen my side of the aisle I'm a conservative and often out here. Listen. Well, we don't want this long drawn out forever war with Iran And I'm not convinced that it'll take that and you've absolutely just outlined why it wouldn't take that So it's just a matter of I guess political will to get the job done Here we're in a prolonged extensive war with you. That is great. Yes With you on since 1979 at taking our embassy was an act of war killing the Marines in Beirut 244 Marines died in their barracks in Beirut. That was an Iranian operation. Everybody knows that they've been killing Americans for 40 years. We have done nothing. They know they're at war with us. They chant every Friday in their mosques death to America. We pretend we can cut deals. We pretend we can be at peace. But the reality is that conservatives I mean everybody should realize you know the longer you are is allowed to build weapons to build to move towards nuclear nuclear weapons the more risk you're placing American civilians in the American military. OK. We have just over a minute left. So a couple of questions for you. First off we've hit 85 targets that belong to the IRGC. Also we've killed a couple of a couple of generals if you will that Iran backs from Hezbollah. I can't even pronounce their names. But but do you think this will deter Iran. Any I Oda. No slow them down. Maybe in the short run. So they'll they won't launch any any drones for the next two months against Americans. But ultimately no zero. They'll replace the generals. You know just cutting cutting these groups off on the top never works. They keep replacing them. We saw that originally with ISIS. We saw that some extent with Al Qaeda. They regenerate. And unless you go and actually do kind of the root canal work you actually get to the source of this. You're not doing anything to protect American lives. All right. 10 seconds. 168 times we've been hit since October 17th. America has five five seconds. What do we do. We should take out their well facilities. We should take out the capacity to inflict damage on Americans and we should definitely take out their nuclear program. All right. You're on book. We'll leave it there. Carl Jackson M4 SNC tonight. We'll be back in a few
