Charlotte Gallagher: 本期节目报道了以色列对伊朗军事目标进行的空袭事件，并分析了该事件的影响以及伊朗是否会进行报复。以色列称空袭是为了自卫，而伊朗方面则淡化了袭击的影响。美国表示没有参与此次行动。
Daniel Hagari: 以色列国防军已完成任务。如果伊朗升级局势，以色列将作出回应。以色列有能力和决心采取果断行动，保卫以色列国和以色列人民。
Sebastian Usher: 以色列军方发言人表示，袭击目标与过去一年伊朗向以色列发射的导弹有关。美国希望以色列避免袭击伊朗的石油设施、经济基础设施和核设施，以避免进一步升级冲突。以色列政府将此次袭击视为打击伊朗及其代理人的行动的一部分。
Bahman Kalbassi: 伊朗最初的官方反应是淡化袭击的影响。随着袭击的持续，伊朗革命卫队表示保留回应的权利。伊朗需要权衡利弊，避免全面战争。
Peter Bowes: 美国事先获知了以色列的行动，但没有参与其中。美国重申了对以色列安全和自卫权的坚定承诺。拜登政府支持以色列的自卫权，但反对袭击伊朗的核设施或石油生产设施，并希望通过外交途径解决冲突。
Jonathan Marcus: 以色列的空袭规模有限，目标是伊朗的防空系统和导弹生产设施。这表明了伊朗的脆弱性，并可能促使伊朗重新考虑是否升级冲突。伊朗有多种回应方式，包括导弹袭击、利用代理人或支持恐怖主义行动，但以色列的空袭也可能促使伊朗谨慎行事。
