Simcha Brodsky JFeed, June 15, 2025 “From Israel’s vantage point, China’s involvement is a dangerous wildcard.” As Israel intensifies its military campaign against Iran, a second Chinese transport plane has reportedly landed in Iran, sparking fears that Beijing is quietly bolstering its strategic ally. With Iran as China’s largest oil provider, the escalating conflict threatens to disrupt […]

Zineb Riboua Mosaic, June 23, 2025 “For China and Russia, this narrative of a sacred struggle against the West offers a moral framework for challenging the U.S.-led order—making Iran not just a strategic ally, but an ideological force within the axis.” Israel’s Operation Rising Lion unleashed a ferocious assault, swiftly dismantling Iran’s warfighting infrastructure.

SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION The ‘Forever War’ We Should Really Be Worried About: Brendan O’Neill, Spiked, June 23, 2025 — Two big things happened on Sunday. First, America’s airforce pummelled nuclear sites in Iran. Using B-2 stealth bombers, they spirited bombs weighing 30,000 lbs into Iranian airspace and unloaded them over Iran’s three most important uranium-enrichment facilities. Finding God in […]

David Albright and Spencer Faragasso WSJ, June 24, 2025 “It is possible that the Iranians tried to move the enriched uranium kept at the site. Dismantling and transporting some of the installed centrifuges, or at least their rotor assemblies, may also have occurred, but this process is complex and time consuming and may have damaged centrifuges. . . .” […]
Yonah Jeremy Bob Jerusalem Post, June 24, 2025 “… what it did during these 12 days was more important for all of the Iranian proxies to see – their leader pummeled into submission.” Although Israel’s founding was made possible through the 1948 Independence War, it is the 1967 Six Day War that reordered the Middle […]
John Spencer Spencerguard Substack, June 24, 2025 “… there can be no question that Iran’s nuclear program has been set back drastically.” “War is thus an act of force to compel our enemy to do our will.” — Carl von Clausewitz War is not chaos. It is the deliberate application of force in pursuit […]
Elliot Abrams WSJ, June 25, 2025 “This time, Israeli action wasn’t condemned or tacitly approved but followed and built on.” The U.S. and Israel have long been allies, but Washington hasn’t always been friendly to the Jewish state’s efforts to stop the development of nuclear weapons by its enemies in the Middle East. When […]

“Fordow’s destruction – surgical, stunning, a reminder of Israeli and American reach – is a victory, yes. But it is the sort of victory that merely brings the war into new terrain. And this terrain, my dear readers, is not geological. It is ideological, and it is mobile.” — Catherine Perez-Shakdam SUCCESS? Iran Concedes […]
Catherine Perez-Shakdam Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, June 24, 2025 “We are not witnessing the end of Iran’s nuclear project. We are witnessing its decentralization.” It is a truth too easily ignored in our ceaseless thirst for closure: blowing up a building does not annihilate an idea. And so it was that […]
Raz Zimmt INSS Insight No. 1998, June 25, 2025 “It is worth noting that there is no indication that Iran is currently interested in returning to a negotiated framework—especially not one that would require concessions perceived in Tehran as capitulation to US dictates, foremost among them the relinquishment of Iran’s enrichment capabilities.” The ceasefire […]
Yoav Limor Israel Hayom, June 24, 2025 “… it is doubtful whether Israel can maintain continuous enforcement without effectively resuming hostilities.” Israel ended its military campaign against Iran with the upper hand. Senior political and defense officials noted yesterday that all objectives had been fully achieved, though it seems perspective, and a measure of humility, are […]
Yoni Ben Menachem Jerusalem Center for Security and Foreign Affairs, June 23, 2025 “Khamenei’s rhetoric frames the war against Israel as a victory through religious justice, not necessarily a military triumph.” This is not Iran’s first war since the Islamic Revolution of 1979 and the adoption of the principle of Velayat-e Faqih (Guardianship of the Islamic […]
