5. The Decision

5. The Decision

October 2024 to June 2025. Iranian missiles strike Tel Aviv, triggering eight months of impossible calculations by three world leaders. Prime Minister Weiss authorizes military planning while President Mitchell pursues diplomacy. Both discover that Iran is using negotiations to buy time for nuclear completion.

As the window for preventing nuclear war closes, Marcus coordinates final preparations knowing the operation will consume everyone who makes it possible. Dr. Tehrani provides final targeting intelligence. Colonel Karimi transmits his last message. The infiltration network prepares to be destroyed by its own success.Sometimes preventing catastrophe requires becoming people who no longer deserve to live in the world they saved. The decision to save the world has been made.

00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:03.480
Operation Rising Lion is a fictional series based on real

2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:08.359
world events. Any similarities between persons living or dead is

3
00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:27.440
purely coincidental. Calarugu Shark Media.

4
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:30.359
My name is Marcus Cole, and I need to tell

5
00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:33.600
you about the eight months when three world leaders calculated

6
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:39.600
whether preventing nuclear war was worth triggering conventional war. It

7
00:00:39.640 --> 00:00:43.840
began on October fifteenth, twenty twenty four, when Iranian missiles

8
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.399
struck Tel Aviv for the second time in six months.

9
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.719
Forty seven missiles launched from sites our intelligence had thought

10
00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:56.039
destroyed precision guidance systems that shouldn't have existed, warheads with

11
00:00:56.119 --> 00:01:01.159
explosive yields that exceeded our threat assessments. As I watched

12
00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:06.000
satellite feeds of Israeli defense systems struggling to intercept the barrage,

13
00:01:06.400 --> 00:01:11.000
I realized we've been calculating based on obsolete assumptions. Iran's

14
00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.079
missile capabilities had advanced beyond our intelligence estimates, and their

15
00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:20.159
nuclear program was accelerating faster than diplomatic negotiations could constrain it.

16
00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:28.480
This is episode five the decision. That night, Prime Minister

17
00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:32.400
Benjamin Weiss called an emergency security Cabinet meeting by morning,

18
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.040
he'd authorized the most comprehensive military planning operation in Israeli history,

19
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.599
Marcus Director Cohen said during a secure briefing three days later,

20
00:01:42.159 --> 00:01:46.239
the Prime Minister wants contingency plans for eliminating Iran's nuclear

21
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:51.280
program entirely, not delaying it, not constraining it, eliminating it.

22
00:01:53.159 --> 00:01:57.480
The mathematical scope was staggering. Iran had dispersed nuclear research

23
00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:02.560
across dozens of facilities, buried critical infrastructure deep underground, and

24
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:06.439
integrated weapons development with civilian nuclear programs in ways that

25
00:02:06.480 --> 00:02:11.960
made precision targeting extraordinarily complex. But the real complexity wasn't technical,

26
00:02:12.479 --> 00:02:17.439
it was political. Any operation comprehensive enough to eliminate Iran's

27
00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:23.280
nuclear capability would require resources beyond Israeli capacity. We would

28
00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.719
need American bunker busting bombs to reach the Fordoh facility.

29
00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:31.280
We would need American intelligence to coordinate simultaneous strikes across

30
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.879
multiple provinces. We would need American defensive systems to protect

31
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:40.479
Israel from inevitable retaliation. The mathematics of preventing nuclear war

32
00:02:40.560 --> 00:02:44.560
required convincing President James Mitchell that regional war was preferable

33
00:02:44.560 --> 00:02:48.759
to global catastrophe. But President Mitchell was pursuing a different calculation.

34
00:02:49.360 --> 00:02:52.240
He'd spend his first months in office attempting to negotiate

35
00:02:52.280 --> 00:02:55.560
a new nuclear agreement with Iran, one that would provide

36
00:02:55.599 --> 00:02:58.879
sanctions relief in exchange for weapons development constraints that both

37
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:02.879
sides could accept. The President believes diplomacy can succeed where

38
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.199
military action would fail, came the message from our Washington

39
00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:10.479
liaison in November twenty twenty four. He's requested that Israeli

40
00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:16.400
military planning be suspended pending completion of nuclear negotiations. This

41
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.599
created an impossible equation. Iranian nuclear development was accelerating toward

42
00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:26.919
weapons capability, while American diplomacy was decelerating Israeli military preparation.

43
00:03:27.840 --> 00:03:31.240
The window for preventing nuclear breakout was closing, while the

44
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:36.319
window for diplomatic breakthrough remained hypothetically open. Prime Minister Weiss

45
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:40.080
faced a choice that would define his legacy. Defer to

46
00:03:40.159 --> 00:03:45.240
American diplomatic preferences and risk Iranian nuclear weapons, or proceed

47
00:03:45.319 --> 00:03:49.800
with military planning despite American objections and risk Israeli isolation.

48
00:03:50.400 --> 00:03:53.159
He chose a middle course that satisfied no one and

49
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:59.080
complicated everything. Weiss authorized continued military planning under absolute secrecy

50
00:03:59.439 --> 00:04:03.840
without a maya coordination. While publicly supporting Mitchell's diplomatic efforts,

51
00:04:05.319 --> 00:04:08.800
Israel would prepare for military action, while hoping diplomatic action

52
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.840
would make military action unnecessary. It was a strategy that

53
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:16.120
required lying to our closest ally, while depending on that

54
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:20.759
ally's ultimate support. From my Tel Aviv control center, I

55
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:25.959
began coordinating the most complex deception operation of my career. Publicly,

56
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:30.879
Israeli intelligence was supporting American diplomatic initiatives. Privately, we were

57
00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:34.879
preparing for military operations that would make diplomacy irrelevant. The

58
00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:41.079
preparation required rebuilding capabilities that Captain Amir's investigation had systematically destroyed,

59
00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:48.160
new infiltration networks, fresh asset recruitment, alternative communication channels, and

60
00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:53.160
most critically, convincing doctor Ahmad Tehrani to continue providing intelligence

61
00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:58.480
despite his growing psychological instability. I dream about moss In

62
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.639
Rahemi every night, Irani transmitted in December twenty twenty four,

63
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:05.959
his wife, asking if our research was worth men dying

64
00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:08.480
for it. But now I also dream about my daughter

65
00:05:08.519 --> 00:05:12.519
in London, asking why her father betrayed his homeland. I

66
00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:18.120
don't know which nightmare is worse Tehrani's psychological deterioration was accelerating,

67
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:22.680
but his intelligence remained crucial for operational planning. His access

68
00:05:22.680 --> 00:05:27.279
to Iranian nuclear facilities enabled precision targeting that would minimize

69
00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:32.480
civilian casualties while maximizing programmatic damage. The calculation was becoming

70
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:38.160
increasingly cruel, maintained Tehrani's cooperation while planning operations that would

71
00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:42.279
likely result in his death. But the larger calculation involved

72
00:05:42.279 --> 00:05:48.600
President Mitchell's response to intelligence about Iranian nuclear acceleration. MARCUS

73
00:05:48.800 --> 00:05:51.720
Director Cohen said during a January twenty twenty five briefing,

74
00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:55.639
we need to brief the Americans about Iranian weapons development timelines.

75
00:05:56.040 --> 00:06:01.319
They're negotiating based on intelligence that's six months obsolete. The

76
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:04.240
briefing took place in Washington on a cold Tuesday morning.

77
00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.120
I sat across from CIA Director Sarah Chen and National

78
00:06:08.160 --> 00:06:12.839
Security Advisor Robert Taylor, presenting intelligence that would fundamentally alter

79
00:06:12.959 --> 00:06:19.360
American diplomatic calculations. Iranian weapons development has accelerated beyond previous assessments,

80
00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:24.839
I explained, displaying technical specifications provided by Tehrani's network. Current

81
00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:29.800
production timelines suggest weapons grade uranium availability within four to

82
00:06:29.879 --> 00:06:33.399
six months, not the eighteen months, your negotiators are assuming.

83
00:06:34.399 --> 00:06:39.120
Director Chen studied the documents with professional skepticism. Marcus, this

84
00:06:39.279 --> 00:06:44.399
intelligence suggests Iran could complete nuclear breakout while negotiations are ongoing.

85
00:06:44.879 --> 00:06:49.199
If this is accurate, diplomatic engagement becomes meaningless. That's the

86
00:06:49.240 --> 00:06:52.720
assessment of Israeli leadership, I replied. The question is whether

87
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:58.319
American leadership reaches the same conclusion. The meeting lasted three hours,

88
00:06:58.759 --> 00:07:03.959
technical discussions about uranium enrichment, strategic analysis of Iranian intentions,

89
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:09.879
political calculations about regional consequences, and ultimately the fundamental question

90
00:07:09.959 --> 00:07:12.680
that would determine the future of the Middle East. Could

91
00:07:12.759 --> 00:07:17.199
diplomacy prevent nuclear war? Or would preventing nuclear war require

92
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:22.800
ending diplomacy. President Mitchell's answer came two weeks later. The

93
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:27.360
President wants diplomacy to succeed. National Security Advisor Taylor informed

94
00:07:27.399 --> 00:07:31.399
me during a secure call, but he understands the timeline constraints.

95
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:36.120
He's authorizing contingency planning for military support of Israeli operations,

96
00:07:36.680 --> 00:07:41.040
but only if diplomatic negotiations fail conclusively. This was the

97
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:45.360
authorization we'd been calculating toward for months. American military planning

98
00:07:45.399 --> 00:07:49.920
would proceed parallel to diplomatic negotiations, with implementation dependent on

99
00:07:49.959 --> 00:07:53.879
diplomatic failure. But the timeline for diplomatic failure was measured

100
00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:58.120
in weeks, while the timeline for operational preparation required months.

101
00:07:58.639 --> 00:08:04.399
The mathematics were becoming increasingly impossible to solve. Meanwhile, Iranian

102
00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:09.160
intelligence was drawing conclusions about Israeli military preparation that accelerated

103
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:14.759
their nuclear timeline even further. Archive Control Wolf reports unusual

104
00:08:14.800 --> 00:08:19.560
activity in Iranian security protocols came Colonel Koremi's encryptid message

105
00:08:19.560 --> 00:08:23.680
in February twenty twenty five. Senior leadership has concluded that

106
00:08:23.839 --> 00:08:28.920
Israeli military action is probable regardless of diplomatic outcomes. Their

107
00:08:28.920 --> 00:08:33.559
accelerating weapons development as to terrence against attack. This was

108
00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:38.240
the nightmare scenario we'd calculated but hoped to avoid. Iranian

109
00:08:38.320 --> 00:08:42.799
perception of imminent Israeli attack was triggering acceleration of nuclear

110
00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:47.799
development that would make Israeli attack inevitable. The preparations designed

111
00:08:47.799 --> 00:08:51.399
to prevent nuclear war were creating conditions that made nuclear

112
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:55.639
war more likely. But the intelligence Karemi provided also revealed

113
00:08:55.679 --> 00:09:00.840
something more disturbing. Iranian leadership had decided to complete nuclear

114
00:09:00.840 --> 00:09:05.960
weapons development, regardless of diplomatic agreements. They would negotiate publicly

115
00:09:06.000 --> 00:09:09.799
while developing weapons privately, using diplomacy to buy time for

116
00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:14.679
nuclear completion. President Mitchell's diplomatic strategy was being manipulated by

117
00:09:14.759 --> 00:09:20.039
opponents who had no intention of honoring diplomatic commitments. Mister President,

118
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.879
I briefed him during a secure video conference in March

119
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:27.159
twenty twenty five. Iranian leadership is using negotiations as cover

120
00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:31.679
for completing weapons development. They're calculating that nuclear capability provides

121
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:36.799
better security than nuclear agreements. Mitchell's response revealed the psychological

122
00:09:36.799 --> 00:09:40.240
burden of making decisions that could trigger regional war or

123
00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:44.879
enable nuclear war. Marcus, I became president to prevent conflicts,

124
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:48.039
not start them. But I also became president to protect

125
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.639
American interests in Allied security. If Iran is manipulating diplomacy

126
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:57.639
to complete nuclear weapons, then diplomacy becomes complicit in nuclear proliferation.

127
00:09:58.720 --> 00:10:01.720
The President was reaching this s same mathematical conclusion as

128
00:10:01.799 --> 00:10:06.759
Israeli leadership. Preventing nuclear war might require triggering conventional war,

129
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:11.159
but he needed proof that diplomacy had failed conclusively before

130
00:10:11.240 --> 00:10:23.759
authorizing military action that could fail catastrophically. The proof came

131
00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:28.000
in April twenty twenty five, when Tehrani provided intelligence about

132
00:10:28.039 --> 00:10:31.159
a new underground enrichment facility at FORDEAH that would be

133
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:35.639
immune to conventional military strikes. They're calling it the Immunity Project.

134
00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:40.879
Tehrani transmitted deep underground construction designed to withstand American bunker

135
00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:45.399
busting bombs. Once operational, it will provide weapons grade uranium

136
00:10:45.440 --> 00:10:49.200
production capacity that cannot be eliminated by external military action.

137
00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.320
The facility would become operational in July twenty twenty five.

138
00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:59.159
After that date, Iran's nuclear weapons capability would be essentially

139
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:04.000
invulnerable to me military intervention. The window for preventing nuclear

140
00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:07.320
war was closing in three months. I brief both Israeli

141
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:12.200
and American leadership about the timeline implications. The mathematical conclusion

142
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:17.600
was unavoidable military action before July or nuclear weapons forever.

143
00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:22.120
Prime Minister Weiss reached his decision. First, we cannot allow

144
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.240
Iran to achieve invulnerable nuclear capability, he announced during a

145
00:11:26.279 --> 00:11:30.240
Security Cabinet meeting in May twenty twenty five. If American

146
00:11:30.279 --> 00:11:36.720
diplomacy succeeds, military preparation becomes unnecessary. If American diplomacy fails,

147
00:11:37.200 --> 00:11:42.639
military preparation becomes essential. Either way, preparation must be completed

148
00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:47.759
before July. President Mitchell reached the same conclusion through different mathematics.

149
00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:54.080
If Iran achieves invulnerable nuclear capability, American security guarantees become meaningless.

150
00:11:54.159 --> 00:11:58.159
He told his national security team. Israel would face existential

151
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:03.000
threats that America couldn't address. Milliklitarily, regional nuclear proliferation would

152
00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:08.919
become inevitable. Global nuclear stability would be fundamentally compromised. The

153
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:13.480
decision emerged from months of calculation. Operation Rising Line would

154
00:12:13.519 --> 00:12:17.759
launch before Iran's immunity facility became operational, but the decision

155
00:12:17.799 --> 00:12:21.759
also required accepting human costs that had been accumulating for

156
00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:26.879
seven years. Doctor Ahmad Trani would provide final intelligence for

157
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:31.879
targeting Iranian nuclear facilities, knowing that accurate targeting would likely

158
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:35.559
result in his death. Colonel Koremi would coordinate with Israeli

159
00:12:35.600 --> 00:12:39.639
operations while maintaining his cover as an Iranian intelligence officer,

160
00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:44.159
accepting that success would probably result in his execution. The

161
00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:47.799
infiltration network we'd build over three years would be consumed

162
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:52.120
by the operation it enabled, Marcus Director Cohen said during

163
00:12:52.159 --> 00:12:55.120
our final planning meeting in May twenty twenty five. This

164
00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.639
operation will save millions of lives by preventing nuclear war,

165
00:12:59.279 --> 00:13:01.360
but it will cost the lives of everyone who made

166
00:13:01.360 --> 00:13:04.799
it possible. How do we calculate the moral mathematics of

167
00:13:04.799 --> 00:13:08.919
that exchange? I'd been calculating that equation for seven years.

168
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:13.159
Every operation since the Shora Bad Warehouse heist had required

169
00:13:13.200 --> 00:13:16.480
sacrificing people who served the cause. They believed in the

170
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:19.639
network that prevented nuclear war would be consumed by preventing

171
00:13:19.720 --> 00:13:24.039
nuclear war. The mathematics were brutal, but clear. The lives

172
00:13:24.080 --> 00:13:27.000
saved by preventing nuclear weapons would justify the lives loss

173
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:31.759
preventing nuclear weapons. But accepting that calculation required becoming someone

174
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:36.320
I'd never wanted to be. The final authorization came during

175
00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:39.840
a secure call between Prime Minister Weiss and President Mitchell

176
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.879
on June tenth, twenty twenty five. Jim Weis said, using

177
00:13:43.879 --> 00:13:48.159
the informal address that reflected years of diplomatic relationship, Iranian

178
00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:52.399
nuclear development has reached the point where military action becomes inevitable,

179
00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:57.200
regardless of diplomatic preferences. The question is whether America supports

180
00:13:57.279 --> 00:14:03.320
Israeli action or whether Israel acts a lie. Benjamin Mitchell replied,

181
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:08.159
America understands the timeline constraints and threat assessments will provide

182
00:14:08.200 --> 00:14:12.759
the support necessary for successful operations, but those operations must

183
00:14:12.840 --> 00:14:17.080
be precisely targeted to minimize civilian casualties in regional escalation.

184
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:21.639
The decision was made. Operation Rising Line would launch within

185
00:14:21.720 --> 00:14:26.679
days with American support for Israeli execution, targeting Iranian nuclear

186
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.799
facilities with precision enabled by intelligence provided by assets who

187
00:14:30.840 --> 00:14:35.320
would likely die providing it. From my Tel Aviv control center,

188
00:14:35.440 --> 00:14:40.200
I began final operational coordination satellite targeting data provided by

189
00:14:40.200 --> 00:14:45.120
Tehrani's network infiltration assets positioned by networks that Captain Emir

190
00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:49.360
had spent years trying to expose American bunker busting bombs

191
00:14:49.399 --> 00:14:52.840
calibrated for facilities that Colonel Karimi had helped us identify.

192
00:14:53.519 --> 00:14:57.600
Seven years of intelligence operations culminating in military action that

193
00:14:57.639 --> 00:15:01.639
would consume everyone who made it possible. The last message

194
00:15:01.639 --> 00:15:05.360
from doctor Amatarani came on June twelfth, twenty twenty five.

195
00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:11.399
Archive Control final intelligence package transmitted. Targeting data for all

196
00:15:11.480 --> 00:15:14.759
nuclear facilities confirmed. Tell my daughter I was trying to

197
00:15:14.759 --> 00:15:17.840
build something beautiful. Tell her the world is worth saving,

198
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:22.799
even when saving it requires sacrificing everything we love. The

199
00:15:22.879 --> 00:15:26.519
last message from Colonel Koremi came six hours later. Wolf

200
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:31.840
confirms Iranian leadership gathering at emergency command centers. Security protocols

201
00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:36.879
suggest they expect imminent action, recommend immediate implementation. This will

202
00:15:36.879 --> 00:15:40.720
be my final transmission. The network that had prevented nuclear

203
00:15:40.759 --> 00:15:43.679
war was ready to be consumed by the operation that

204
00:15:43.720 --> 00:15:48.039
would complete the prevention of nuclear war. On June thirteenth,

205
00:15:48.120 --> 00:15:51.960
twenty twenty five, at zero one hundred hours local time,

206
00:15:52.600 --> 00:15:57.960
Israeli aircraft launched from bases across the country. American B

207
00:15:58.039 --> 00:16:01.679
two bombers departed from bases in the continental United States.

208
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:07.000
Precision munitions, calibrated using intelligence provided by Iranian assets who

209
00:16:07.080 --> 00:16:10.840
had chosen conscience over country, began their flight toward targets

210
00:16:10.840 --> 00:16:13.840
that would determine whether nuclear war remained a threat or

211
00:16:13.879 --> 00:16:19.000
became inevitable. The decision to prevent nuclear war had been made.

212
00:16:19.519 --> 00:16:22.080
The human cost of that decision was about to be

213
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:28.000
calculated in the mathematics of mutually assured destruction. Next time,

214
00:16:28.279 --> 00:16:30.919
I'll tell you about the sixty three hours when Operation

215
00:16:31.120 --> 00:16:35.480
Rising Lion unfolded across the Middle East. How precision strikes

216
00:16:35.559 --> 00:16:39.639
enabled by seven years of intelligence gathering destroyed Iran's nuclear

217
00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:43.720
weapons capability while consuming everyone who made that precision possible.

218
00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:47.480
Some decisions take months to reach and minutes to implement.

219
00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:51.919
Some equations balance only when everyone who calculated them is eliminated,

220
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.320
and some mathematics require accepting that saving the world means

221
00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:58.559
becoming people who no longer deserved to live in the

222
00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:02.159
world they saved. The final calculation was about to begin.
