So, their interests are aligned. It's in Russia's interest for Iran to remain in power, which is why these times are so volatile.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:07)
They are honed in on the fact that this is a war of ideas, it's a spiritual war, and they're fighting it.

**SPEAKER_1** (0:13)
And it's important to have an optimism right now because we're on the verge of very scary times.

**SPEAKER_3** (0:22)
Welcome back to The Israel Guys, where we believe in a world of anti-Israel propaganda and Jew hatred. You should have a direct connection to the land and people of Israel. This week, so much has happened. We have the Iranian front is really coming alive. We see a lot of things happening. We see the US seeming to get involved. We're going to talk about that. We're going to talk about the Russian embassy being evacuated here in Israel. What does that signal? That's actually a really big deal. That would actually give me the view that something is shifting, and there's a reason why all the Russians would want to be leaving Israel. We'll talk about it. We're also talking about the protest that's happening in Iran, as things really seem to be toppling. It seems like we're in the process of. A lot of questions whether it will work, or whether or not this will be successful or not. Lots to talk about. Internal things here in Israel as well. But let's kick it off, guys, with the...

**SPEAKER_4** (1:18)
Can I kick it off with this video? Because I think this is really significant. There's a million videos we could watch about the protests in Iran, but there's one video on X where Iranian officials are telling a crowd of university students to chant, Death to America, Death to Israel. And this is their response. Watch this.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:06)
That's kind of funny, actually.

**SPEAKER_4** (2:08)
The officials are leading the crowd in a chant of, Death to America, Death to Israel, and the responding chant is, Death to Palestine. This is happening in Iran right now, which is just crazy.

**SPEAKER_3** (2:20)
Why do they say that? How are they, because you think that they would say something different, but they're putting it directly, how would they know the context?

**SPEAKER_4** (2:28)
I'll give you my quick theory, and then interested to hear you guys jump in. I think Iran is finally, the Iranian people is finally waking up to the fact that their leaders and their governments focusing so specifically for so many years on destruction of Israel and America has now led to the Iranian people's demise more or less, right? No water, no food in Iran now. They're living in poverty in their countries falling apart, and they're realizing it's because their leaders have led them in years and years and years of their only goal in life is to destroy Israel and America.

**SPEAKER_2** (3:07)
I mean, you think about it, Iran is literally falling apart. Its military has been devastated by Israel. Its nuclear sites are destroyed. The scientists have all been assassinated. There's no water. There's electrical outages. There's mass protests in the street now. Their currency has been devalued 60%. I mean, the whole thing is insane, and all their proxies are falling apart. Hezbollah is castrated after the beeper operation. The Houthis are practically gone, literally. The Hamas is devastated, and now Venezuela has been captured. So Iran's stronghold over like everything, their entire axis is falling apart, and people are saying, what is this about? This was all to destroy Israel, and Israel is emerging like a lion, and they're siding and aligning with the side of good for the first time.

**SPEAKER_3** (3:49)
You know, I didn't realize it, but the Venezuela situation, how connected they were to Iran. I would have never even thought that Venezuela is a proxy of Iran, but sure enough, we see that the US and all that's just happened there, they were hitting a very strategic asset of Iran. Three billion something dollars in 2023 went back and forth between Iran and trade and commerce.

**SPEAKER_4** (4:15)
Well, I think last week we mentioned on the show, we were talking about how Netanyahu was very, like Trump was very obviously, like his meetings in the US was a little bit more than normal because he flew him to Mar-a-Lago and spent like a couple days together. Bibi was the only foreign leader invited to the New Year's Eve party. Like they were, and Bibi and Trump came out from that on a very united front, telling the media we're aligned 100%. Like there was no, there was no, you know, nothing between them at all. And then within what, two days, the operation in Venezuela happened and the US goes in and take them out. So there could be very good speculation that Israel and the United States did this in coordination with each other, for sure.
