FIDF LIVE BRIEFING: Breaking Updates on Operation Roaring Lion with Nadav Padan - March 2, 2026

This FIDF Live briefing frames the eve of Purim as a historic turning point, with host Laura Krinsky describing the current confrontation with Iran as the culmination of decades of threats, proxy warfare, and missile buildup. Maj. Gen. Nadav argues that the U.S.-Israel operation was years in the making and says its goals are to cripple Iran’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs, weaken its proxy network, and create conditions for the Iranian people to ultimately challenge the regime. He presents the campaign as highly successful so far, emphasizing cyber disruption, major strikes on air defenses and missile assets, and what he describes as growing freedom of operation for U.S. and Israeli forces over Iran. The conversation then expands to Hezbollah and Lebanon, with Nadav saying Hezbollah reentered the fight under Iranian pressure and that Israel has responded by further degrading its leadership, weapons stockpiles, and infrastructure. He also argues that Iran’s attacks on other countries in the region may have backfired by pushing more Arab states toward cooperation with the U.S. and Israel. On the question of “boots on the ground,” he says he does not expect a large-scale ground invasion, instead stressing the depth of U.S.-Israel military coordination and his belief that internal Iranian unrest could become decisive over time. The briefing closes by focusing on the strain on Israeli reservists and civilians spending Purim in shelters, while underscoring Israeli resilience and ending with a direct appeal for support for soldiers, bereaved families, and urgent wartime needs through FIDF.
