Chapter 1: What significant news is coming from Iran?
Eure Augen und Ohren auf der Welt-Stage. Lass uns berichten. Wir beginnen heute mit signifikanten Nachrichten aus dem Mittleren Osten. Iranische Gerichte sagten Sky News Arabia, dass das Regime auf jeden Fall eine militärische Reaktion gegen Israel hält. Reportiert, in Erwartung von Negotiierungen mit dem baldem Präsidenten Trump. Wir haben diese Details kommen.
Later in the show, a major update on the White House leak involving Israeli plans to strike Iran, with a CIA official now under arrest over the intelligence breach. Plus, Ukrainian Security Services reportedly orchestrated a car bomb attack in Crimea, killing a high-ranking Russian naval officer accused of war crimes.
And in today's Back of the Brief, President-elect Trump and President Biden met yesterday to discuss the transition of power. We'll break down what was discussed in their meeting. But first, today's BDB Spotlight. It appears Donald Trump's imminent return to the US presidency is already giving America's adversaries pause.
In a surprising development out of Iran, senior sources inside the Islamic regime told Sky News Arabia on Wednesday dass sie entschieden haben, ihren geplanten dritten Ballistik-Missil-Attack auf Israel zu verabschieden. Der Kalkulus hat sich mit Trumps Sieg geändert.
Und jetzt scheint es so, dass die Mullahs hoffen, einen Deal mit dem Präsidenten-Elekt zu verabschieden, wenn er im Januar zur Oval Office zurückkehrt. Das heißt, wenn Trump eine Diskussion eröffnet. I want to stress that few details are known at this time and other sources have yet to corroborate the information.
The Iranian sources simply told Sky News, quote, the Iranian response against Israel is postponed until negotiations with President Trump begin. Berichte in den iranischen Medien sagen, dass Trumps Sieg den Regime verletzt hat, fühlt sich ungeheuer an. Als Erinnerung, hat Iran eine Barrage von mehr als 180 Ballistikmissilen in Israel auf Oktober 1st eröffnet.
Das war ihr zweiter direkter Angriff auf Israel, nach einer ähnlichen Missil- und Drohnenbombardierung im April. Beide Angriffe wurden, großzügig und effektiv, aus Israel-sophistizierten Missil-Defense-Systemen erzeugt. Israel antwortete mit targetten Angriffen auf die kritische iranische Militärinfrastruktur am 25.
Oktober, mit einem bedeutenden Schuss an Iran's Drohnen- und Missilprogramme und ihrer Luftwaffen-Netzwerke. Die Führer in Teheran haben seitdem die Waffe aufgeräumt, eine größere Verteidigung gegen Israel vorzunehmen, die mehr advanced missile systems betrifft.
However, Iran went quiet on the subject shortly after last Tuesday's presidential election, which by all accounts they thought Trump would lose. As for Iran's hopes for negotiation with Trump, there remains, well, let's put it this way, a lot of uncertainty.

Chapter 2: What is the update on the CIA official's arrest?
Well, shouldn't their word be good enough? Though Ukrainian sources argue otherwise, pointing to the extensive casualties and infrastructure damage left by their missile strikes. Following the assassination, Russian authorities released images of Trenkovskys wrecked vehicle engulfed in flames. Diese Tötung bezieht sich auf eine intensivierende Intelligenzwahl in der Crimea.
Es ist offensichtlich ein strategischer Hubschrauber für Russlands Black Sea-Operationen, oder zumindest das, was von ihren Black Sea-Operationen noch bleibt. Letztlich hat die Ukraine ihren Fokus auf diese Bereiche erhöht, die russische Inhalte und hochrangige Offiziere zu targetieren.
Laut dem russischen Telegram-Kanal MASH hatte Trankovsky eine Woche vor der Bombe unter Beobachtung, ein koordinierter Ereignis, der die Ukraine-Operationen bemerkt hat. Seit dem Anfang der Kriege haben prominentere pro-Kriegs-Russische, insbesondere Journalisten und ein ehemaliger Submarin-Kommandant, in den Angriffen von Moskau-Attributen auf die Ukraine verabschiedet worden.
Zudem hat Russlands Bundesverwaltungsgerichtsservice beurteilt das ukrainische Spionage-Netzwerk in der Krimee im Dezember. Einer der Netzwerke beantragte, dass die Krimee ein Moskau-installierter Führer und ein pro-russischer ehemaliger ukrainischer Parlamentsmitglied war, der in einem Angriff auf die Krimee verletzt wurde.
Chapter 3: What happened in Crimea involving a car bomb?
As the conflict intensifies, Trankowskis assassination signals Ukraine's relentless pursuit of Russian officials linked to civilian attacks. Okay, coming up in the back of the brief. Presidents Trump and Biden meet at the White House and Trump officially announces his choice for Secretary of State. I'll have those details when we come back.
In today's Back of the Brief, President Biden and President-elect Trump shook hands in the Oval Office on Wednesday, with Biden pledging a, quote, smooth transition after a obviously turbulent election season. The meeting brought back the tradition of a peaceful handover, a custom that Trump chose to forego in 2020.
Biden spoke first, stating, quote, we'll make sure that you're accommodated in the transition. Trump, in turn, offered his thanks, stating, quote, politics is tough, but it's a nice world today, setting a cooperative tone. For the brief period that the press was allowed to observe, it was clear that this meeting set the stage for a respectful transfer of power.
The meeting, which lasted approximately two hours, was attended by White House Chief of Staff Jeff Seitz and incoming Chief of Staff Susie Wiles. In an exclusive phone interview with the New York Post, Trump later described the meeting as, quote, really good, mentioning that he and Biden had, quote, reconnected on vital matters such as the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Trump told the Post, quote, I asked for his views and he gave them to me, adding, quote, also, we talked very much about the Middle East. Likewise, I wanted to know his views on where we are and what he thinks, and he gave them to me. He was very gracious, end quote. Okay, as an aside, and I find this interesting.
Think how confused all those Democrat voters are now, who listen to their political leaders, including President Biden and VP Harris, declare that Trump is a fascist, a Nazi, and an existential threat to democracy. And then, a week after the election, Biden sits down with Trump and says, hey, all's good, we're gonna be fine.
Ich meine, an irgendeinem Punkt denkt man, dass der mittlere Bürger sich entschleunigen würde, wenn er feststellt, dass die meisten von dem, was Politiker sagen, Hyperbole ist, um das Votieren herauszufinden. Look, if President Biden and VP Harris genuinely thought that Trump was a threat to democracy and the world as we know it, do you think they'd sit down with him in a cordial setting?
So my point is, maybe, don't take everything so literally. Now, for all you kids listening, earmuffs. What I mean, folks, is learn the difference between shit and Shinola. All right, shortly after departing the White House, Trump in a statement named Senator Marco Rubio as his selection for Secretary of State, adding another name to his growing cabinet selections.
Rubio, a Florida Republican, has extensive foreign policy experience from his service on the Senate Intelligence and Foreign Relations Committees and has long championed a strong America on the world stage.
