Why is Iran's regime still standing?

The IMF projects Iran's economy will shrink sharply this year, contracting somewhere between 5.4% and 6.1%.

Only one thing would make the regime buckle.

A July 30 study by the Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs concluded that the PA's policy of financially supporting terrorists “materially facilitated” Hamas’ ability to “prepare for and execute” the massacre. The author of the report, IDF Lt. Col. (res.) Maurice Hirsch, hopes his study will provide a still stronger basis for lawsuits against the PA.

AI has learned to trick us. This could end like Chernobyl

Lies, circumvented safeguards and secret instructions for operating under our noses. From bots that developed coded language to agents that concealed information, a string of incidents is raising fears that humanity is losing control of artificial intelligence. Would an AI version of “gun reform” help? Perhaps, if catastrophe is the goal.

'Israeli terrorists': Why the Qusra controversy angered the US

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee stunned Israeli officials when he described Israelis who had pitched tents near the Palestinian village of Qusra as "terrorists" suspected of "disgusting" and "criminal" behavior.

All roads lead to Tehran: Israel's 4 fronts await the next turning point

Nearly three years into the war, Israel remains locked in open conflict on four fronts: Iran, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria. All are interconnected and, to varying degrees, directed from Tehran.

'To be a good Arab and a good Muslim, part of it is to hate the Jews'

Within five hours, Dalia Ziada was forced to flee Egypt, leaving behind her family and homeland. The Arab street’s response to Oct. 7 exposed a reality she had not wanted to believe, and when she spoke out against it, she became an enemy. In an interview with Israel Hayom, she says: “If I were an Israeli, I don’t know how you can sleep at night.”
