Raise your hand if you are happy to hear @WayneCabot (a star of the assassinated WCBS-880 Newsradio) do @ABC newscast as heard on excellent @BloombergRadio. Meeeee. (Nice shout, Wayne, at the end of the 12noon 'cast. IYKYK.)

@yossi_melman Go go, little expert guy!

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

#Iran deal as bad as "they" say? What could be next? Hear my longtime co-author @Yossi_Melman + @ksadjadpour + @MaloneySuzanne w-@AarondMiller2 of @CarnegieEndow. And on US military aid to #Israel to change -- @YaakovKatz. Hear The #Mossad Files half-hour: https://t.co/0gbITdk5Vx

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

@AlexkydHaifa B'kitzur @ZakenDanny91125 was that widely read letter or column blasting Trump for betraying #Israel written by you -- under your name? Or was it (as reported) an "open letter" by newspaper owner Miriam #Adelson? Thanks.

The Mossad Files -- on all audio podcast platforms @Yossi_Melman on #Mossad going back to covert war in #Iran  + @YaakovKatz on how "partnership" can replace U.S. military aid to #Israel. Also: JD #Vance gets nasty. https://t.co/A6EphawGZY

Just posted: this weekend's The Mossad Files -- on all audio podcast platforms including https://t.co/ezm11aCRYW . @Yossi_Melman on #Mossad going back to covert war in #Iran + @YaakovKatz on how "partnership" can replace U.S. military aid to #Israel. Also: JD #Vance gets nasty.

@danielco9991 When you've lost Miriam Adelson (setting a parallel to Vietnam, LBJ and Walter Cronkite), Mr. Trump, you have lost a key loyalist. (I doubt this will sway DJT, who does not need Adelson campaign bucks so much anymore.)

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

Tell @JDVance in the MidEast it is not “Gulf Coast coalition.” That would be Louisiana, Texas, Mexico…. Except for that he is a smooth talker, I think the VP’s spin is excessively claiming #Iran didn’t win a lot of advantages. I don’t believe this is better than #JCPOA.

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

@PeterDonner1962 @AmbDennisRoss @citrinowicz Peter, thank you for that. Indeed Danny @citrinowicz says (as I understand it) that in the bad circumstances for #Israel, this deal should end the war -- and the war has been truly bad in its outcome. Thanks.

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

Will the complete U.S.-#Iran memo be published? The value of "the deal" will be debated. @AmbDennisRoss told me on The #Mossad Files podcast that Trump did not display ideal "statecraft." Also, hear #Israel intel veteran @Citrinowicz blast the deal. https://t.co/0gbITdk5Vx

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

Whatever the precise contents of "the deal" Trump probably reached with #Iran ... #Israel intelligence vet @citrinowicz says it is terrible. Also hear @AmbDennisRoss tell me how it may weaken Iran in the long run. But not soon. The #Mossad Files, weekly: https://t.co/0gbITdk5Vx

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

What the U.S.-#Iran deal can and cannot accomplish: hear The #Mossad Files guest @AmbDennisRoss, also #Israel intel analyst @citrinowicz — Israel not achieving its goals. https://t.co/A6EphawGZY

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

A clarifying interview w-@AmbDennisRoss on #Mideast #Israel #Trump #Iran --much confusion, but longtime mediator, now at @WashInstitute, author of "Statecraft 2.0" assesses it all. With a hope of eventual change in Iran. Watch this The #Mossad Files extra: https://t.co/zhn3HyJ3hE

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

So--a drone from #Iran hit a helicopter, the 2 Americans are safe. Iran foreign minister hints it might have been an accident so U.S. should leave. Trump says must retaliate. Fox reports it will be big. #Israel sees OK to hit #Hezbollah hard. @Citrinowicz warns it does no good.

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

What a pleasure to hear @MattPieper (longtime CBS colleague) mastering business news on excellent @BloombergRadio. (As they say, cream rises to the top.)

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

@tparsi I see your guess. Mine is that Bennett was referring to IDF soldiers and some civilians killed by #Hezbollah attacks recently.

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

@YaakovLappin Please get in touch, perhaps you can spare a little time to appear on The Mossad Files podcast this week? Thanks - best to reply danraviv1 (at) Gmail (dot com).

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

Long-standing #Israeli defense doctrine demands direct retaliation on targets in #Iran. Let’s see if the airstrikes (would be first since April.7 ceasefire) are restrained, as I feel Iran’s missiles we’re fairly easy to intercept. #Trump “deal” with Iran now less likely? Or more?

[Dan Raviv @DanRaviv]

#Iran crosses a red line by launching missiles at #Israel. Iran will claim to be heroic defender of #Lebanon’s people. A one-time message? Regardless: Israel highly likely to hit Iran for 1st time since ceasefire (exactly) 2 months ago.
