00:00Today on the newscast, Israel on high alert after Iran's drone strike and vow of revenge.

00:05Could this be a prelude to a larger regional war?

00:07Get all the breaking details next.

00:09Hey folks, welcome to the newscast.

00:11We told you about this yesterday here on the Watchman newscast.

00:14Now Israeli officials have not said anything yet publicly about the attack

00:17other than to say they are aware of the reports.

00:19But apparently according to the Iranian regime,

00:21these drones entered Iranian airspace,

00:23struck the Natanz facility which is a nuclear facility and then left Iran.

00:27And before we dig into that and more,

00:29I just want to encourage you to subscribe to the channel and click the notification bell so you get alerts.

00:34Every time a new video is posted,

00:36hey, we're coming to you every day, Monday through Friday and sometimes on the weekend depending on the news cycle.

00:41And we would love to have you here with us every single day as Watchman.

00:44And each and every time Iran takes action against Israel,

00:47whether it's a missile attack, a rocket attack, a drone attack,

00:50whether it's an attack on an Israeli in the street,

00:53it's in their charter, it's in the DNA of the regime.

00:55The U.S. is weighed in, urging restraints, obviously as well as Russia.

00:59And we'll see how this all plays out.

01:01But clearly, the specter of war looms large in the region.

01:04Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

01:06Pray for Israel during these turbulent times.

01:08Things are happening and unfolding at such a rapid pace in the Middle East.

01:11It is a day that never seems to end.

01:13And tomorrow is another day.

01:14As the old Rem song goes,

01:16another day closer to the great northern showdown that is coming.

01:19And we know that things could flare up at any given moment.

01:22Until tomorrow.

01:22Thanks for joining us.

01:23God bless you.

01:24And remember, never hold your peace.

01:35And they will not rest until they either see the Jewish state destroyed

01:38or until they themselves are destroyed.

01:39The Iranian regime is enriching uranium at an ever faster clip,

01:43driving toward that 90% mark.

01:45They're claiming now that they've enriched uranium up to 84%.

01:48If they reach that 90%,

01:49they can then have the capability of building a bomb.

01:53So I do want to think it as a coincidence that this drone strike on this nuclear facility

01:56happened the same day that Iran announced that they were driving even closer to that 90% mark.

02:02So could this be a clue as to what's in the works?

02:04Perhaps, perhaps Iran felt that this drone strike on the Natan site,

02:08and it was minor damage, folks, according to Iranian officials.

02:11And we have no word from Israel, as I mentioned a minute ago.

02:15But perhaps Iran felt compelled to do something here

02:17because they are feeling pressure from the West.

02:19And they do undo on Israel striking them again.

02:21And maybe they feel like they have to make a statement of saying,

02:24Hey, we are still a threat.

02:26We are still a danger.

02:27And we will strike back if need be.

02:29Or maybe this is a diversionary tactic.

02:31Again, we don't know.

02:33All we know is that Israel is on high alert and we're watching it closely.

02:36Thankfully, God Almighty has a different plan for the nation of Israel.

02:39And as we see these events transpire,

02:42and we've been talking about this for nearly a decade now here on the Watchman newscast,

02:46the chess pieces on the board moving,

02:47the pieces of the puzzle falling into place.

02:50We see the prophetic chess pieces, if you will, moving on the board.

02:53And we know that sooner or later, sooner rather than later,

02:56it seems the Great Northern War will come to pass.

02:58And we've seen that many times over the past few years,

03:01or God forbid, an attack on Israeli soil,

03:03the soil of the nation of Israel.

03:04Whether it comes in the form of a terror attack,

03:07an Iranian terror attack on the streets of Jerusalem or Tel Aviv,

03:10or whether it comes from the north, as I mentioned,

03:13transpiring through Syria, Lebanon,

03:15southern Lebanon, the home base of Hezbollah,

03:17each time the door opens a crack, as it were,

03:20to war between Israel and Iran.

03:22It swings open wider and wider.

03:24And I believe the trajectory is moving in that direction.

03:26And women on the wall standing shoulder to shoulder.

03:29So join us here every day.

03:30We would love to have you.

03:31That's according to Iranian officials who also said that once again.

03:34This was a Zionist regime, their term for Israel.

03:37They said that Israel was behind this attack.

03:39As I mentioned, no claim of responsibility by Israel.

03:42But still, Israel upping its game in terms of air defenses

03:45and being prepared for any incoming missiles or rockets or whatever.

03:49Iran and its proxies may throw Israel this way.

03:51Now look, we've had so many attacks emanating from Syria

03:53over the past several years, many of them.

03:56Many times, the finger has been pointed at Iran

03:58or Iranian proxies in Syria where Russia also has a major military presence.

04:02So Israel has had to operate with a great deal of caution

04:05whenever they strike in Syria for fear of hitting Russian forces

04:08and really up until recently.

04:10They've done a pretty good job of avoiding that.

04:12But a few weeks ago, we had an incident where an Israeli strike in Syria

04:15in Tartus, if I'm pronouncing that right,

04:17near Tartus, where Russian soldiers were reportedly killed.

04:20So things are getting a little bit more tense in that arena.

04:23Let's go to some more details here.

04:24But if they wanted to,

04:25they absolutely have the capability to target Israel and Syria.

04:28We know that Iran has thousands of troops in Syria.

04:31They surround Israel on all sides, along the Golan Heights in particular.

04:34So again, no surprise here.

04:36If something did come Israel's way,

04:38but Iran also has a naval presence in the Mediterranean.

04:41And we've talked about this, folks, for several months now.

04:44That Iranian vessels, Iranian warships transit the Strait of Hormuz,

04:48heading to the Gulf of Oman, the Arabian Sea and beyond,

04:51all the while, all eyes on Israel.

04:53So a lot of people believe that these warships,

04:56which, by the way, have missile-carrying capabilities,

04:59are a prelude to a future naval showdown with Israel.

05:02That may be part of the larger war that we've called the Great Northern,

05:06war that we've talked about so much here on the newscast,

05:09which will pit Israel against the likes of Hezbollah,

05:11the Houthis in Yemen, Hamas,

05:13and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza to the south.

05:15And then to the north, no doubt,

05:17the Assad regime in Syria,

05:19the Iranian regime,

05:20and those various militias that surround Israel in that country.

05:23Now, major news outlets like Reuters are reporting on it as well.

05:26It looks like Israel was expecting something coming out of this.

05:29Because there were increased air defenses,

05:32there was talk of an increased state of alert within Israel,

05:34particularly around the home front.

05:36And that's due to the fact that Iranian proxies,

05:38Iranian-backed groups in Lebanon and Syria,

05:40no doubt at the behest of the Iranian regime,

05:43may very well target Israeli assets in both of those countries.

05:46Again, we saw this back in 2080,

05:48when Israel was forced to shoot down an Iranian drone

05:51that was headed toward a major Israeli nuclear reactor in the north of the country,

05:55near the Lebanon border,

05:56and that drone was carrying explosives.

05:58So, a repeat of that perhaps.

06:00But what would Iran's strategy be?

06:02Will they send missiles flying?

06:04Will they send more drones?

06:05Maybe a hit team into Syria to target an Israeli?

06:08What exactly will Iran do?

06:09We told you that Israel was on high alert last night,

06:12Tuesday, January 2023,

06:14after an apparent drone strike targeted a nuclear facility in central Iran.

06:17And now today, Iranian officials are vowing revenge

06:20and promising that Iran will retaliate against Israel for this attack.

06:23They did not take responsibility for the attack,

06:25but they certainly sounded like they did.

06:27Here's more from Reuters.

06:28Tensions between Iran and Israel escalated sharply today

06:32after Iran said it thwarted an Israeli.

06:34Sabotage attempt on a nuclear site

06:35and activated emergency measures across the country

06:38after the suspected drone strike,

06:39which caused minor damage.

06:41And of course, we've got to talk about the potential fallout.

06:43Folks, we're keeping a very close eye on this.

06:45Now, let's break down some more of this Israeli high alert

06:48after this drone strike in Iran.

06:49And if Iran does want to really respond in a meaningful way,

06:52and we shall see how this plays out,

06:54what a showdown it will be.

06:55The question is not if this will happen, but when.

06:58Again, Iran is hell-bent on destroying Israel.

07:01But in the meantime, Israel is on high alert.

07:03One final note here before we go,

07:05and we encourage you to do the same.

07:07Be vigilant.

07:08Be aware.

07:09Be prayerful.

07:10We're watching it all very closely,

07:11and we'll bring you the latest, of course,

07:13right here on the Watchmen Newscast.

07:15Hey, everyone.

07:16Thanks for checking out the Watchmen Newscast.
