Michael Oren, speaking live from Tel Aviv, is interrupted by an active missile attack siren and confirms that missiles are incoming while his family shelters in a safe room, but he chooses to continue the interview. The host notes simultaneous reports of loud blasts in Dubai and mentions ongoing interceptions of Iranian missiles and drones over UAE airspace, using this to underscore how volatile and region-wide the situation has become. Amid this, the interviewer reiterates that Oren can leave for safety at any time and then asks how close Israel is to its war aims: preventing Tehran from using the conflict to shield its nuclear program and proxies, and eliminating the ballistic missile threat.
