Israeli strike could give Middle East new dawn

The attack expresses what was previously defined here as the optimistic scenario – complete damage to nuclear facilities, without Israeli casualties, while exploiting the situation where Iran lacks effective air defense and its terror forces are weakened. Now remains to be seen whether the picture develops as in the outlined scenario. But will it be a regional game changer?

Iran claims new drones 'designed to hit Tel Aviv' as Israel warns regime from reprisals

Beyond nuclear aspirations: Iran moving full steam ahead to develop new threat

Over the course of the last decade, the Iranian UAV industry has become a recognized global brand name, mainly due to the use to which the Russians have put the Iranian UAVs during the ongoing war in Ukraine. Iran, however, began to put the systems it has developed to use – either directly or via its proxy forces – many years previously.

What an Israeli strike on Iran might look like

If Israel ultimately decides to strike Iran, the range of potential scenarios spans from a complete obliteration of Tehran’s nuclear facilities and a tectonic regional shift led by Jerusalem, to a disastrous entanglement in retaliatory missile barrages and a bleak security and diplomatic horizon. But between those extremes lies a third path.

Why Israel's hasbara is in trouble

Why Israel's hasbara is in trouble

Israel’s public diplomacy is in a state of crisis, lacking a leader for over a year, with a critically understaffed team and responsibilities scattered across various government bodies. Despite substantial funding, the Foreign Ministry has not fully utilized its budget to counter the flood of hostile global propaganda. The outcome is a dangerously slow and fragmented response system, leaving Israel without a unified voice or clear strategy in the battle for international perception.

Monster in plain sight: How Israel missed the Houthi threat

The organizations vying for control of Gaza in a post-Hamas era
