Nuclear Talks in Geneva While U.S. and Iran Poised for War | Jerusalem Dateline - February 17, 2026

Talks with Iran continue as the U.S. ramps up its Middle East presence by sending a second aircraft carrier to the region. Analysis from Dan Diker on the enemy of the West that Christians and Jews must face together. New Yorkers share experiences under the leadership of Mayor Mamdani. Diplomatic negotiations in Geneva take place under mounting military pressure, with the USS Gerald R. Ford joining the USS Abraham Lincoln in the region. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expresses skepticism about Tehran’s reliability, insisting any agreement must eliminate uranium enrichment, remove enriched material, address ballistic missiles, and dismantle Iran’s terror network. President Trump signals preference for diplomacy but warns of consequences if Iran refuses to act. Iranian officials insist their missile program is non-negotiable and reject submission under threats. Senator Lindsey Graham says an American decision regarding Iran could be weeks away and openly calls for regime change, arguing it would weaken Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. Meanwhile, Iran and the U.S. showcase military strength through naval exercises and bunker-buster deployments, underscoring how close the region may be to conflict. In Gaza, Israel issues Hamas a 60-day ultimatum to disarm, including surrendering tens of thousands of weapons used in the October 7 massacre. If Hamas refuses, Israel warns that a full-scale war will resume. At the same time, protests inside Iran and around the world grow louder, with demonstrators calling for the fall of the Islamic Republic and supporting Iranian citizens seeking freedom. Middle East expert Dr. Dan Diker warns that 2026 represents a civilizational moment for Judeo-Christian values. Speaking from Jerusalem, he argues that radical Islamist ideology targets both Jews and Christians alike and calls for a strategic alliance rooted not only in faith but in shared security and foreign policy priorities. He frames Israel’s security as central to defending Western civilization. Turning to New York City, residents share sharply divided reactions to Mayor Zoharan Mamdani’s leadership. Supporters praise his progressive agenda, while many Jewish New Yorkers express alarm over his past statements about Israel and his decisions surrounding antisemitism definitions and BDS policy. Critics argue that rhetoric has emboldened anti-Zionist demonstrations and increased intimidation outside synagogues and Jewish institutions. The episode closes with a human story from Israel: Victoria, a new immigrant from Russia navigating divorce and hardship, receives life-changing support from CBN Israel. After losing her furniture and stability, she and her daughter are given a furnished home — restoring dignity and offering hope as they rebuild their lives in the Jewish state.
