Today’s Episode:

It feels like a month’s worth of news has erupted out of the Middle East since Saturday night, when the U.S. bombed Iran’s three key nuclear facilities. On Monday, the IRGC responded by firing missiles at the American El Udeid Air base in Qatar – an attack it warned Qatar (and the U.S.) about beforehand. Throughout that day, the Israeli Air Force struck critical IRGC targets, including multiple hubs of internal operations, military headquarters, missile production sites, radar systems, and missile storage infrastructure. In a highly symbolic move, the IAF struck Evin Prison – known for holding Iranian dissidents – as well as Iran’s so-called “Israel doomsday clock,” located in Tehran’s “Palestine square.”

And then, at 6:02pm EST, President Trump announced a “complete and total ceasefire” via Truth Social.

Shortly before the ceasefire began, Iran launched six successive missile barrages toward targets throughout Israel. At around 5:40am Israel time, one of these missiles impacted a residential building in Beersheba, tragically killing four people and injuring 22.

At 10:30am Israel time, about three-and-a-half hours after the ceasefire was meant to take effect, Iran fired two missiles at Israel’s North. Israeli officials vowed to respond forcefully to this breach in the ceasefire, but settled for a “symbolic” target – an Iranian radar north of Tehran – after pressure from President Trump not to escalate.

To unpack the history that’s taken place over the past few days; the details of the ceasefire and how it will be enforced; and how a possible end to this Iran War (or this phase of the Iran War) could impact the Gaza War and the hostages, we are joined once again by senior analyst at Yedioth Achronot and Call me Back regular Nadav Eyal and chief political analyst at Channel 12 and another Call me Back regular Amit Segal.

Today’s Episode:

Around 8pm ET on Saturday June 21st, President Trump announced that the U.S. launched an attack on three Iranian nuclear sites: Natanz, Esfahan, and Fordow.

At 10pm ET, in a live address from the White House, the President called the attacks on Iran a “spectacular military success” and said Iran’s three targeted nuclear facilities had been “completely and totally obliterated.”

Joining us to unpack what we know about the attack and what Iran might do next and what happens next for the U.S. and Israel are Call me Back regulars Nadav Eyal and Amit Segal.

We will be following these historic developments closely here at Call me Back. Stay tuned for more news updates and episodes this week.

Today’s Episode:

If President Trump decides against the U.S. joining the war, what can the IDF achieve on its own? In today’s episode, senior analyst at Yedioth Achronot and Call me Back regular Nadav Eyal discusses this very question as well as the damage caused by Iran’s most recent missile barrages and how Israeli air defenses are working to confront the threat.
