Ben Fishman, Hanin Ghaddar, Assaf Orion and Dennis Ross Washington Institute for Near East Policy, Aug 27, 2024 “In its [Hezbollah’s] view, the current conflict has shifted the “buffer zone” between the two parties southward, posing enough of a threat to compel mass evacuations in northern Israel.” On August 25, Israel carried out large-scale preemptive […]

Prof. Louis René Beres Israel National News, July 29, 2024 “Israel is a state with no “strategic depth.”” “Into the eternal gloom, into fire, into ice.” Dante, Inferno As matters stand presently, it would not be in Iran’s interest to use NNEMP (non-nuclear EMP) weapons. This is because Israel could mount a higher […]
Prof. Louis René Beres Algemeiner, Apr. 16, 2024 “Even if Iran were not in a condition of active belligerency with the Jewish state, an Israeli preemptive action could still be law-enforcing.

Bill Gertz The Washington Times, August 28, 2024 “That detailed IRGC dossier was the ’wrong narrative’ as far as the Obama administration was concerned.

Jonathan Spyer Middle East Forum, Aug. 26, 2024 “Tehran’s desire now to preserve its assets and return the focus to the campaigns of attrition it prefers will have been well noted by both friend and foe.” Hezbollah’s response to the killing of senior official Fuad Shukr, when it finally came, was a more minor event […]
Sheldon Kirshner Times of Israel, Aug. 28, 2024 “Certainly, Iran’s intention is to stoke fear and anxiety among Israelis by slowing its response and capitalizing on speculation about when and how it will respond.” Nearly a month after the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, Iran has yet to fulfill its pledge to […]
