IDSF Daily Israel Briefing

Moshe Davis

The war behind the headlines. Hosted by Moshe Davis, this podcast delivers clear, uncompromising insight into the Middle East conflict — straight from those who have fought it, studied it, and shaped it. Through exclusive conversations with Israeli military leaders, intelligence professionals, diplomats, journalists, and security experts, each episode breaks down what’s actually happening in Israel, Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, and beyond — and why it matters to the Jewish people, the West, and the future of democracy. This is not punditry or propaganda. It’s frontline analysis that cuts through misinformation, exposes the realities of modern warfare and terrorism, and explains the strategic, moral, and geopolitical stakes too often ignored by mainstream coverage. If you want to understand the war against Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, and global terror — and the growing battle over truth, legitimacy, and Western values — this podcast is essential listening.

Gidi Harari breaks down the real reasons that Israel must go to to war with Iran, the immediate need, and how the war with Iran is linked to the threat from Hezbollah in Lebanon. he discusses why the current plan to disarm Hezbollah north of the Litani River is almost certain to fail, and how the Israeli airforce operations right now in Lebanon are connected to war with Iran.

    Trump’s Iran Deadline – Gen. Avivi: ”War Sooner Than You Think”

    Is war with Iran now a matter of when, not if? In this exclusive IDSF briefing, Brigadier General (res.) Amir Avivi breaks down whether a U.S. strike on Iran is imminent, what to make of President Trump’s latest threat to the regime in Tehran, and how the movement of additional American warships into the Middle East changes the military balance. We discuss Israel’s red lines, the lack of real progress in negotiations, and whether a U.S. timeline for action within a month actually matches Israel’s security needs and concerns. You’ll also hear how Israel’s campaign in Gaza is tied to the larger strategic picture against Iran and its proxies, how Iran continues to smuggle illegal weapons into Israel, and why Israel faces a growing internal governance challenge in enforcing the rule of law and stopping Arab lawlessness from spreading inside the country. In this episode with General Avivi, we cover: – Is a U.S. strike on Iran now imminent? – Do American and Israeli timelines and red lines really align? – What Trump’s warning to Iran actually signals – and how Tehran may respond – Why the deployment of additional U.S. warships to the region matters – How Gaza operations are coordinated with the bigger Iran strategy – Iran’s ongoing efforts to smuggle weapons into Israel – Israel’s internal governance challenge: rule of law vs. rising lawlessness Subscribe to IDSF for more in-depth war briefings and strategic analysis from top Israeli defense and intelligence professionals. #Israel #Iran #Trump #USNavy #NationalSecurity #IslamistTerror #AmericaFirst #Gaza #MiddleEast Purchase General Avivi's book on Amazon — https://amzn.to/3Z6NVNu This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

    Iran Expert Warns: Breaking Up Iran Will Ignite Regional Chaos

    Iran Expert Warns: Breaking Up Iran Will Ignite Regional Chaos. In this in‑depth briefing, Dr. Harold Rhode explains why plans to carve Iran into ethnic mini‑states are not just unrealistic — they’re a recipe for civil war and regional instability. Despite its many ethnic and religious groups, Iran has a deep, shared cultural identity that most Western policymakers fail to understand. Dr. Rhode lays out why any serious conversation about Iran regime change must start from the reality of Iranian culture: a powerful attachment to the land and a historic expectation of a strong, unifying leader at the top. He also explores whether figures like Reza Pahlavi could realistically hold the country together after the current regime falls. We discuss: • Why Iran is a civilizational state, not an artificial one • How “breaking up Iran” could ignite chaos across the Middle East • The danger of Western fantasies about ethnic partition • Why most citizens still think of themselves as deeply Iranian • The cultural expectation of a strong leader vs. Western‑style democracy • Could Reza Pahlavi unify Iran after the regime?

    The Radical Plan to Stop Nuclear Iran: The End of the Nation State

    Is regime change enough to stop a nuclear Iran? Dr. Martin Sherman argues that replacing the leadership in Tehran is a temporary fix for a permanent threat. In this exclusive IDSF briefing, Dr. Sherman presents a "bombshell" strategic alternative: the complete dismantling of the Iranian nation-state. Drawing parallels to the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Dr. Sherman contends that as long as the centralized Iranian state exists, the aspiration for regional dominance and nuclear weapons will remain—regardless of who sits in the government. His radical proposal? Empowering the oppressed ethnic minorities within Iran to fracture the map and end the Persian hegemony forever. In this briefing, we cover: The Regime Change Myth: Why a new government won't stop the nuclear program. The "Yugoslavia Option": A strategic framework for dissolving the state. Fracturing the Map: How empowering Kurds, Balochis, and Azeris changes the game. Permanent Security: Why this is the only path to safety for Israel and the West. ⏱️ Chapters: 0:00 - Intro: A Radical New Strategy 1:22 - Why Regime Change is "A Bridge Too Close" 3:20 - The Dismantlement Strategy: Empowering Minorities 5:38 - The Yugoslavia Model: How to Break a State 7:38 - The Persian Minority Myth: 40% of Iran isn't Persian 9:45 - Stability vs. Instability: Which is Safer? 10:37 - Exposing Iran's Military Weakness 12:38 - Lessons from the 1930s: The Cost of Waiting 17:09 - Why Russia & China Fear a Fractured Iran 18:06 - Conclusion About Dr. Martin Sherman: Dr. Martin Sherman is a veteran political analyst and expert on strategic affairs. He challenges the conventional wisdom of the defense establishment, offering bold, out-of-the-box solutions to Israel's most pressing security challenges.
