The Fox News Rundown

It's been less than a week since direct hostilities ignited between Israel and Iran. Israel’s government claimed Iran was too close to achieving nuclear weapons and that it needed to commence a plan to stop them since negotiations with the U.S. seemed to go nowhere. Since the fighting began late last week, we've seen Israel, using both air strikes and commandos on the ground, eliminate key leaders in Iran’s government, military, and domestic police forces, as well as their top nuclear scientists. And then came the destruction of government buildings, military bases, air force assets, and then attacks on Iran’s infamous nuclear development sites. Some are rendered destroyed or inoperable. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says they've set back Iran’s nuclear ambitions for a long time. But Iran has struck some blows, firing ballistic guided missiles at Israeli population centers. They've damaged or destroyed homes, killing people inside. Daniel Flesch, a Senior Analyst with the Heritage Foundation, a former IDF soldier, and former Senior Advisor at Israel’s Permanent United Nations Mission, joins the FOX News Rundown: Evening Edition to discuss Israel’s effort to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program and whether this operation can lead to regime change.
