Kasra Aarabi Engelsberg Ideas, June 18, 2025 “While the IRGC has spent time, resources and blood over the decades in its costly pursuit of the nuclear weaponisation threshold, this pillar has always remained more aspirational than assured.” As Israel’s targeted strikes inside Iran continue, the longer-term implications for the Iranian regime’s military doctrine and […]

Mathias Döpfner Politico, June 16, 2025 “If Israel does not achieve its goals — destruction of the nuclear facilities, maximum weakening of the terrorist regime and, ideally, the removal of the mullahs — the world will quickly look very different.” When a society can no longer distinguish between good and evil, between victim and […]
Avi Kalo Ynet News, June 16, 2025 “As the U.S. establishment voices praise for the IDF’s overwhelming operational success, it may also signal the erosion of a longstanding objection in Washington — held by successive presidents and much of the American intelligence community for over two decades — against a kinetic strike on Iran.” […]
Alexander Ward, Lara Seligman and Dustin Volz WSJ, June 17, 2025 “I don’t care what she said, I think they were very close to having them.” Before launching its attack on Iran last week, Israel provided the U.S. with intelligence it deemed alarming: Tehran was conducting renewed research useful for a nuclear weapon, including on an […]

Here, he shares the news and analysis that […]
Seth Cropsey WSJ, June 16, 2025 “Absent proxies, nuclear potential and a missile arsenal, Iran would lose its leverage over the Gulf states and its coercive potential against Israel and in the Levant.” The U.S. faces a consequential choice: take advantage of Israel’s audacious attacks on Iran to shepherd a new Middle East into […]
Noah Rothman National Review, June 13, 2025 “The Israelis have many lessons to teach us, but foremost among them is that there is no substitute for victory.” It hasn’t even been two weeks since the Ukrainians pulled off a defensive operation of such magisterial competence that it could only be compared with the feats achieved by Israel’s […]

Eli Lake The Free Press, June 15, 2025 “Trump himself has, in his public messaging, seemed to want to appease the warring sides of his coalition.” Since Israel began its war against Iran, President Trump and his White House have sent mixed messages, giving the warring factions of his political coalition reason to hope they […]
