Will Israel Strike Iran Alone? Concerns Over El-Sayed | CBN NewsWatch - August 6, 2026

Israel raises concerns that the potential deal with Iran would give Tehran unprecedented control over the Strait of Hormuz; Iran says the Strait won’t fully reopen until the US lifts its naval blockade and ends attacks on Iranian ports; President Trump says this is Iran’s “last chance;” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signals Israel is prepared to act alone against Iran after Israeli media report Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard commander admitted they’re pursuing a nuclear weapon; Trump criticizes Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who won the Michigan primary, a victory many see as another sign of the Democratic party’s growing shift toward the pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel movement; Joshua Swanson talks about if Israeli military sources believe the Hormuz deal is genuine or Iran buying time, concerns in other countries like Saudi Arabia and the UAE about the deal, the possibility that Israel could launch strikes against Iran on their own, and the reaction in Israel to El-Sayed’s victory; a very important story: a potential danger from AI: CBN News talks to the parents of a 14-year-old who took his own life after spending more time with his AI chatbot; and former Navy Chief of Chaplains Rear Admiral Gregory Todd talks to CBN News about his 40-year career, including bringing the Gospel to members of the service.
