In this episode I share my concern about President Trump looking at Iran as he does with the other countries. He has had unbelievable success and topping it all is his last week in the Middle East. My message to President Trump is to slow down and talk to people who have both a spiritual and physical understanding of Iran and what really drives them. No matter what they say they will not give up the movement toward a nuclear bomb. It would be a fatal mistake to think they will do any deal that causes them to give up enrichment. The only possible way would be for a outside group to go in and destroy and remove all the equipment. But even they would find a way to keep a hidden program. Mr. President this is not like any other country you will be dealing with. Please choose wisely.

Hello, this is the PrivateInvestigator Experience Podcast.
(00:04):
I'm your host, Phil Little.
I share the life in cases of aPI, and I do deep dive
investigations into currentevents that can affect our lives
where we live.
This is a little different.
I'm doing a time sensitive openletter to President Trump about
the dangers of believing, thepromises of the radical Islamic
(00:27):
haters of Israel and of theUnited States.
Also, the decisions that Americamakes now about how we deal with
Iran.
Hama, Syria, and the rest ofIran's proxies will bring
blessings or curses on them.
Let me first say that this isnot about all the Arab people.
(00:51):
I've had an office in Riyadh andworked for years in Saudi Arabia
and crossed the Gulf.
I have great friends there whohave embraced me as part of
their family.
Knowing my Christian backgroundand my close ties to Israel we
talk about God, Christianity andIsrael.
Years ago when I first wentthere, oh, we have a backdoor
(01:11):
and we talked to Israel.
Will you help me?
By liking, sharing, andsubscribing and getting this
message out to as many aspossible.
The decisions that are made noware so critical to our future
and of the world.
And I say, Mr.
President Trump.
(01:33):
As a businessman, I'm in awe ofyour amazing accomplishments in
your first 100 days, andparticularly this last week of
what you've accomplished in theMiddle East.
It's amazing.
I support you and your effortsto make life better for all
Americans, not only those whoare voted for you, but my
(01:53):
concern is that with this fastpaced critical background issues
can be missed.
And I am referring to Iran inthe Middle East with Israel and
Hamas, Palestine two Statesolution, all wrapped together.
They're Iranian, nukes and wehave the same players involved
in all these things.
Mr president, I'm using mybiblical worldview when I look
(02:18):
at Israel and all the i, mysupport for Israel on Genesis
12, three.
God says, those who blessIsrael, I will bless.
And those who curse Israel, Iwill curse.
And this all comes to me from mybackground in the Middle East.
(02:40):
So I got involved in Israel andSouthern Lebanon in the middle,
seventies, was very involved onthe ground there for years.
I have learned about terrorism,about the issues that were going
on at that time, which was withthe PLO, and now it's gone into
a much broader, deeper worldevent with Iran backing of and
(03:03):
Hamas.
So I've got a little bit ofknowledge and ground work
involved in understanding thepeople and what the issues are.
Now when I, some people will saythe Bible God's word is it's
just a book written by a bunchof guys that got together and
wrote it.
I happen to disagree with that.
In two Timothy three 16, itsays, every word in the Bible is
(03:29):
inspired by God.
That's from Genesis toRevelations and I take that as
fact because of where it'scoming from.
I'm gonna keep this as brief aspossible, but we'll share some
facts.
First, let's deal with our IranMr.
Precedent, you're a deal maker.
No doubt you're one of the best,but these people you're dealing
(03:52):
with have had thousands of yearsto develop their position and
they're the best at lying andleading the best negotiators
into believing them.
These are beyond professional.
And anybody that you've everdealt with on the in the
business area why won't Irannever give up their nuclear?
(04:14):
Now they might say they will,like they did with Obama or
others.
Over the years, they've signedall kinds of agreements and they
have a lot of enriched Iran.
So I ran the Iran enrichmentprogram.
Has been a focal point ofinternational concern for decade
with negotiations, sanctions,threats, and all that.
(04:38):
It failed to halt theirprogress.
As of March, 2025, I ranpossesses over 100 kilograms of
uranium in which to 60% purity.
It's close to weapons grade.
And they've accelerated theirproduction despite global
pressure.
Now, experts, right today, thisweek are saying that within a
(05:01):
few weeks, they can have six orseven bombs when they can push
this to the 90% that's needed.
So this is getting down to thewire here, something that's gone
on for years.
Some argue that Iran'spersistence is deeply tied to
his religious identity.
Specifically the 12 theism andthe ology belief in the 12 Iman.
(05:26):
The what is this?
The 12 theism and the 12 Iman?
The 12 theism, the statereligion of Iran since the.
Actually, since the dynasty backin 1501 is the largest branch of
Shia Islam, it's comprised about90%.
(05:50):
It's the numbers say of ShiaMuslims worldwide.
It centers on the belief indivinely ordained Imams and
successors to the prophetMohammed.
Now, let's remember Mohammeddidn't come onto the scene till
about the fifth century.
They were to be the guides ofthe Muslim community with
(06:12):
infallibility.
They were no one could contestthem.
The 12th Imam was Muhammad AlMohadi.
And he's believed to haveentered calculation or shall we
say, a deep sweep around 8 74ce.
Now he's gonna return.
(06:34):
As the Imam to restore justiceand establish Islam globally.
With Sharia Law as the world'sruler, they believe if they
start a war to destroy Israel,then the 12th Iman will return,
come out of the cave help themdefeat Israel and establish
(06:55):
their world of domination.
This is their motive for anuclear bomb.
They believe this, just likethose of other religions that
believe in their religion, andthey would die for it.
And this ethological vision hasbeen invoked by Iranian leaders.
(07:16):
And back during the time of armDeja was president in 2005 to
2013, he emphasized that overand over they were preparing for
their maha's return.
And of course, that meant therehad to be a destruction war.
Starting with dle, some hardcritics and members of the
Islamic Revolution Guard view,the necessity that destruction
(07:41):
of Israel is will lead for theMadahi reappearance.
They may frame it as a religiousimperative.
This.
Including I Iranian enrichmentto be driven by a desire to
assert power in the region,eliminating perceived ities like
(08:05):
Israel, and fulfill propheticconditions.
Now this is a little side notehere.
Iran has enough oil and producesF oil to provide all of their
needs and electricity.
Why then would.
(08:25):
Nuclear program.
A non-nuclear or non militaryone, which they say for other
uses normally countries whenthey develop nuclear powers or
creating power, but they don'tneed that.
So that's something to be alertto.
(08:46):
And it shows that they haveother motives.
Adams four Peace program.
When you get to digging, youfind out all these kind of
programs the US is, was involvedin, is involved in like the
U-S-A-I-D that a Elon uncoveredwith all of that corruption and
(09:10):
doing things to get in all kindsof trouble out around the world.
And it is framed by Iran as asovereign right, for their
peaceful energy programs.
Okay, what are they gonna dowith all this peaceful energy
production yet?
Iran's stockpile of the 60%enriched uranium goes far beyond
(09:33):
what's needed for civilianreactors or any reason that,
that they would have it.
What are some strategic ImImparities and Regional Power
Iran's enrichment program isalso driven by strategic goals.
Moreover.
Iran's regional ambitionssupporting proxies like
Hezbollah and countering Sunnirivals like Saudi Arabia that
(09:57):
requires projecting strength,which are robust inter nuclear
program.
Would do limited domesticuranium sources forces Iran to
rely on import, yet in itsenrichment capacity for exceed
civilian needs, suggesting adual use strategy.
(10:17):
Two of their facilities.
The not baton, N-A-T-A-N-Z.
I don't deal with this languagevery well.
And fordo facilities they havethousands of centrifuges.
They can produce weapon grade,uranium in a few weeks if US
(10:37):
intelligence and otherintelligence.
They don't see any active workon that right now, but you know
how wrong the intelligenceagencies have been on so many
issues over the last year or so.
I wouldn't necessarily take thatas gospel.
The Iranians are very good athiding what they're doing away
(10:58):
from everyone's eyes.
Then what are the limits ofreligious determinism?
Khomeini's vision of Islamicgovernments was pragmatic
adapting shia's tradition tomodern politics.
Similarly, Iran's enrichmentprogram reflects a calculated
blend of ideology and politics.
(11:21):
Madahism provides a narrativefor hard lingers.
The program's persistence isrooted in.
Regional dominance and defianceof Western sanctions and Mr.
President, these have failed tohalt its progress.
(11:42):
Nothing has slowed them down.
Conclusion that Iran's refusalto abandon uranium enrichment is
so involved in the 12th Imamtheory and destroyed all Jews.
No matter where the Israel orwherever they're at, it's their
religion and they're willing todo anything.
(12:02):
Lie, cheat, steal become martyrsto keep the ability to have the
bomb.
I realize as the president thatwe should do everything we can
to avoid war, but aware how manybefore you have tried to stop
Iran's nuclear program andfailed.
I spent the last 50 years on theground in the Middle East in
(12:24):
surrounding areas.
I've gotten a pretty goodunderstanding of the mindset.
Please consider carefully all ofthe decisions about this
situation.
Now, in conclusion why do Istate that a two state solution
for Israel and Palestine willnever work if it is forced?
(12:47):
Will be kicking the can down theroad and the next attack will
make the October 7th attack looklike child play.
The challenge of peace is in theIsraeli Palestinian conflict.
The introduction to that, theIsraeli Palestine conflict, one
of the most enduring disputes inmodern history.
(13:11):
While territorial and politicalissues dominate contemporary
discussions, the origins of theentity between Jews and certain
Islamic groups trace back to theancient religious narratives,
particularly the story ofAbraham's two sons, Isaac, and,
(13:32):
if someone's.
And don't know who Abraham is.
He's one of the he's a father ofthe Jewish race and very one of
the most important characters orfigures in in the Jewish
religion and cultural.
Lests looked then at the, theseideological barriers to peace.
(13:54):
Focusing on the historical andreligious roots of the conflict
and the stated goals of groupslike Hamas and Hezbollah their
backers in Iran, which makes thenegotiations profoundly
difficult and in my view,impossible.
The Abrahamic origins, Isaac inIshmael.
Now, this is not the AbrahamAccords that President Trump
(14:17):
started and was working on.
The results of the JewishIslamic conflict and accounts of
Abraham, he was a patriarch,revered in Judaism,
Christianity, and according tothe Hebrew Genesis 16 verse 21,
Abraham had two sons born toHagar.
(14:39):
An Egyptian servant and Isaac,born through Sarah, his wife,
excuse me, Gods Covenantpromising land and descendants
was established through IsaacGenesis 17, 19 to 21.
Designating him as a, the heirthrough Jewish people would
(15:00):
descend ish.
Blessed.
Not included in this leading tohis and hagar's expulsion after
Isaac's birth Its narrativeunderscores the Jewish claim on
the land of Israel as a divinepromise.
(15:23):
The story of Isaac.
And while ancient is involved bysome radical Islamic groups to
frame the modern conflict as acontinuation.
A divinely ordained struggle.
For example, certain extremistideologies portrayed Jews as a
descendants of Isaac, but asyou, serpers of a land
(15:47):
rightfully belonging to Ishmaelheirs But the fact is that God
gave the land to Abraham and theJewish people forever through
Isaac.
That's the word of God.
Excuse me.
And I happen to believe that thenarrative of paternal amplified
over the millennium, thus servesas a symbolic foundation for the
(16:11):
enmity, particularly in radicalinterpretations that reject
coexistence Emerged in the late19 and early 20th centuries with
competing Jewish and Arabnationalist movements in the
(16:34):
historical what's calledhistorical Palestine, but that
was really Israel.
It was never as a state or anentity named Palestine.
And that goes back, that'sanother story to search that
out, the establishment of theState of Israel, 1948.
A petition plan.
(16:55):
It was a triumph for Jewishself-determination, but the Arab
Palestinian would not accept theland they were given.
They refused it, even though itwould've been a two state
solution every time.
And since then, they've beenoffered the land.
It was refused.
They want the land that Israelwas given and also the whole
(17:18):
territory and eradicate theJews.
That still continues to thisday.
Beyond territorial disputes, adeeper ideology en entity
persist, particularly amonggroups like Hamas and Hezbollah,
which draws on both religiousnarratives and modern political
(17:38):
grievances.
Hamas, in his 1988 charterexplicitly calls for the
destruction of.
Framing its struggle in areligious duty, rooted in a
specific interpretation ofIslamic teaching in including
this Abrahamic narrative, thoughin its 2017 Charters often some
(18:02):
of their voice still rejectsIsrael's right to exist.
Iran simply used the Israel asan illegitimate entity with its
reader DRA stating in 2000 thatIsrael was at an illegal usurer
(18:22):
entity.
Iran's leadership since the 1979Islamic Revolution has
consistently advocated forIsrael's elimination with
figures like Khomeini and hissuccesses.
Framing it as a religious andpolitical imperative, often
(18:42):
invoking the Abrahamic struggle,has a justification.
These politics.
Talk, but are embedded in thegroup's foundational documents
and public statements for anyoneto see and check it out.
I ran support for pro proxygroups across the region, Hamas
(19:06):
and Gaza, Hezbollah and Lebanon,and others demonstrates a
commitment to one of MindingIsrael through both ideological
and military means.
The stance looted.
In part in the ancient narrativeof Isaac and Ishamel
fundamentally challenges thepossibilities of peace as it
(19:29):
rejects the basic premise ofIsrael's existence as a
sovereign nation.
This is very much terrorists.
When you fighting terrorists,their only desire to kill you,
so you can't negotiate with.
It is simply this way.
If Iran gets a nuclear bomb,they will use it on Israel or
(19:53):
attempt to the challenge ofnegotiating.
Then with this ideologicalabsolutism peace negotiations re
require mutual recognition and awillingness to compromise.
As I mentioned, they're notwilling to compromise.
However, when one party.
(20:15):
The foundation or dialoguecollapses.
Israel has a recognized statewith a democratic government.
They've engaged in peace talktalks with other Arab countries.
Egypt 1979, Jordan 1994.
These peace treaties arelasting.
They're still active and inenforced today, yet groups like
(20:38):
Hamas Hezbollah by ide.
Partly inspired by the Abrahamicnarrative.
They reject such framework.
their state of gold is notcoexistent, but eradication as
evidenced by Hamas' refusal torenounce its charter.
Which calls for Israel'sdestruction even during
(21:01):
ceasefire talks.
The absolution is compounded byIran's regional strategy, by
funding and army proxy groups.
Iran sustains a cycle ofviolence that undermines
moderate voices within thePalestinian broader araba world
that this question then arisesHow can peace be achieved?
(21:26):
Whose stated aim is yourdestruction.
A cornerstone of any peaceprocess is eroded with rocket
attacks, suicide bombings,inflammatory talk.
The October 7th, 2023 attack byHamas, which killed over 1200.
Israelites and took hundredshostage underscores the
(21:48):
practical implications of thisideology.
Further hardening Israel'sskepticism negotiations.
The broader context.
Can peace overcome ideology?
The radical side of Israel hasshown over the years that they
aren't interested in changingtheir position that Israel must
be destroyed.
(22:08):
The only reason they will stillhave meetings with the west to
talk about peace is to buy time.
They've not a change.
Existence over dogma.
A quality currently absent amongthe leadership of Hamas
(22:30):
Palestinians, the pursuit ofpeace is complicated by internal
divisions.
The Palestinian authority, hasshown their willingness to
negotiate, but its legitimacy isundermined by corruption and
competition with Hamas, andthey're also still paying money
to the families of martyrs orthose who have killed Jewish
people, and they will stop doingthat.
(22:53):
Ordinary Palestinians, some ofwhom desire peace and economic
stability are often caughtbetween these factions with
little agency to shape theirfuture.
And if they do speak out, Hamashas been brutally killing them
as examples.
Israeli Palestinian conflict isnot merely a territorial
(23:17):
dispute, but a clash ofideologies with roots in the
ancient narrative of IsaacIshmael Radical teachings and
statements emulating from groupslike Hamas and their Iranian
backers, which draws on thisnarrative to reject Israel's
existence reveal why worldviewthat sees destruction as
(23:42):
non-negotiable.
The stance enforced by decadesof enmity and ongoing violence
makes peace impossible.
for peace to become viable.
A fundamental shift in this talkand a policy and action is
needed.
One that acknowledges the rightof both people who live in
security and dignity.
(24:04):
I would like to end with this.
I like to say that I see hopefor change.
But my wishful thinking isovershadowed by my investigative
sense and the knowledge I've hadover the last 50 years and that
the facts speak for themselves.
Mr.
President, this is the mostimportant agenda on the table
(24:25):
right now with all the otherthings that are going on around
the world and the decisions thatare made will dictate our future
and the world and act wisely.

Now, in conclusion why do Istate that a two state solution
for Israel and Palestine willnever work if it is forced?
(12:47):
Will be kicking the can down theroad and the next attack will
make the October 7th attack looklike child play.
The challenge of peace is in theIsraeli Palestinian conflict.
The introduction to that, theIsraeli Palestine conflict, one
of the most enduring disputes inmodern history.
(13:11):
While territorial and politicalissues dominate contemporary
discussions, the origins of theentity between Jews and certain
Islamic groups trace back to theancient religious narratives,
particularly the story ofAbraham's two sons, Isaac, and,
(13:32):
if someone's.
And don't know who Abraham is.
He's one of the he's a father ofthe Jewish race and very one of
the most important characters orfigures in in the Jewish
religion and cultural.
Lests looked then at the, theseideological barriers to peace.
(13:54):
Focusing on the historical andreligious roots of the conflict
and the stated goals of groupslike Hamas and Hezbollah their
backers in Iran, which makes thenegotiations profoundly
difficult and in my view,impossible.
The Abrahamic origins, Isaac inIshmael.
Now, this is not the AbrahamAccords that President Trump
(14:17):
started and was working on.
The results of the JewishIslamic conflict and accounts of
Abraham, he was a patriarch,revered in Judaism,
Christianity, and according tothe Hebrew Genesis 16 verse 21,
Abraham had two sons born toHagar.
(14:39):
An Egyptian servant and Isaac,born through Sarah, his wife,
excuse me, Gods Covenantpromising land and descendants
was established through IsaacGenesis 17, 19 to 21.
Designating him as a, the heirthrough Jewish people would
(15:00):
descend ish.
Blessed.
Not included in this leading tohis and hagar's expulsion after
Isaac's birth Its narrativeunderscores the Jewish claim on
the land of Israel as a divinepromise.
(15:23):
The story of Isaac.
And while ancient is involved bysome radical Islamic groups to
frame the modern conflict as acontinuation.
A divinely ordained struggle.
For example, certain extremistideologies portrayed Jews as a
descendants of Isaac, but asyou, serpers of a land
(15:47):
rightfully belonging to Ishmaelheirs But the fact is that God
gave the land to Abraham and theJewish people forever through
Isaac.
That's the word of God.
Excuse me.
And I happen to believe that thenarrative of paternal amplified
over the millennium, thus servesas a symbolic foundation for the
(16:11):
enmity, particularly in radicalinterpretations that reject
coexistence Emerged in the late19 and early 20th centuries with
competing Jewish and Arabnationalist movements in the
(16:34):
historical what's calledhistorical Palestine, but that
was really Israel.
It was never as a state or anentity named Palestine.
And that goes back, that'sanother story to search that
out, the establishment of theState of Israel, 1948.
A petition plan.
(16:55):
It was a triumph for Jewishself-determination, but the Arab
Palestinian would not accept theland they were given.
They refused it, even though itwould've been a two state
solution every time.
And since then, they've beenoffered the land.
It was refused.
They want the land that Israelwas given and also the whole
(17:18):
territory and eradicate theJews.
That still continues to thisday.
Beyond territorial disputes, adeeper ideology en entity
persist, particularly amonggroups like Hamas and Hezbollah,
which draws on both religiousnarratives and modern political
(17:38):
grievances.
Hamas, in his 1988 charterexplicitly calls for the
destruction of.
Framing its struggle in areligious duty, rooted in a
specific interpretation ofIslamic teaching in including
this Abrahamic narrative, thoughin its 2017 Charters often some
(18:02):
of their voice still rejectsIsrael's right to exist.
Iran simply used the Israel asan illegitimate entity with its
reader DRA stating in 2000 thatIsrael was at an illegal usurer
(18:22):
entity.
Iran's leadership since the 1979Islamic Revolution has
consistently advocated forIsrael's elimination with
figures like Khomeini and hissuccesses.
Framing it as a religious andpolitical imperative, often
(18:42):
invoking the Abrahamic struggle,has a justification.
These politics.
Talk, but are embedded in thegroup's foundational documents
and public statements for anyoneto see and check it out.
I ran support for pro proxygroups across the region, Hamas
(19:06):
and Gaza, Hezbollah and Lebanon,and others demonstrates a
commitment to one of MindingIsrael through both ideological
and military means.
The stance looted.
In part in the ancient narrativeof Isaac and Ishamel
fundamentally challenges thepossibilities of peace as it
(19:29):
rejects the basic premise ofIsrael's existence as a
sovereign nation.
This is very much terrorists.
When you fighting terrorists,their only desire to kill you,
so you can't negotiate with.
It is simply this way.
If Iran gets a nuclear bomb,they will use it on Israel or
(19:53):
attempt to the challenge ofnegotiating.
Then with this ideologicalabsolutism peace negotiations re
require mutual recognition and awillingness to compromise.
As I mentioned, they're notwilling to compromise.
However, when one party.
(20:15):
The foundation or dialoguecollapses.
Israel has a recognized statewith a democratic government.
They've engaged in peace talktalks with other Arab countries.
Egypt 1979, Jordan 1994.
These peace treaties arelasting.
They're still active and inenforced today, yet groups like
(20:38):
Hamas Hezbollah by ide.
Partly inspired by the Abrahamicnarrative.
They reject such framework.
their state of gold is notcoexistent, but eradication as
evidenced by Hamas' refusal torenounce its charter.
Which calls for Israel'sdestruction even during
(21:01):
ceasefire talks.
The absolution is compounded byIran's regional strategy, by
funding and army proxy groups.
Iran sustains a cycle ofviolence that undermines
moderate voices within thePalestinian broader araba world
that this question then arisesHow can peace be achieved?
(21:26):
Whose stated aim is yourdestruction.
A cornerstone of any peaceprocess is eroded with rocket
attacks, suicide bombings,inflammatory talk.
The October 7th, 2023 attack byHamas, which killed over 1200.
Israelites and took hundredshostage underscores the
(21:48):
practical implications of thisideology.
Further hardening Israel'sskepticism negotiations.
The broader context.
Can peace overcome ideology?
The radical side of Israel hasshown over the years that they
aren't interested in changingtheir position that Israel must
be destroyed.
(22:08):
The only reason they will stillhave meetings with the west to
talk about peace is to buy time.
They've not a change.
Existence over dogma.
A quality currently absent amongthe leadership of Hamas
(22:30):
Palestinians, the pursuit ofpeace is complicated by internal
divisions.
The Palestinian authority, hasshown their willingness to
negotiate, but its legitimacy isundermined by corruption and
competition with Hamas, andthey're also still paying money
to the families of martyrs orthose who have killed Jewish
people, and they will stop doingthat.
(22:53):
Ordinary Palestinians, some ofwhom desire peace and economic
stability are often caughtbetween these factions with
little agency to shape theirfuture.
And if they do speak out, Hamashas been brutally killing them
as examples.
Israeli Palestinian conflict isnot merely a territorial
(23:17):
dispute, but a clash ofideologies with roots in the
ancient narrative of IsaacIshmael Radical teachings and
statements emulating from groupslike Hamas and their Iranian
backers, which draws on thisnarrative to reject Israel's
existence reveal why worldviewthat sees destruction as
(23:42):
non-negotiable.
The stance enforced by decadesof enmity and ongoing violence
makes peace impossible.
for peace to become viable.
A fundamental shift in this talkand a policy and action is
needed.
One that acknowledges the rightof both people who live in
security and dignity.
(24:04):
I would like to end with this.
I like to say that I see hopefor change.
But my wishful thinking isovershadowed by my investigative
sense and the knowledge I've hadover the last 50 years and that
the facts speak for themselves.
Mr.
President, this is the mostimportant agenda on the table
(24:25):

the world and the decisions thatare made will dictate our future
and the world and act wisely.
