According to senior security officials, Israel’s recent airstrike on Iran has reportedly destroyed all of Iran’s strategic air defense capabilities and severely hindered its ability to produce new ballistic missiles.
Despite these setbacks, Iran is determined to respond to the Israeli attack and is currently engaged in damage control efforts.
The “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation had the opposite of its intended effect. Instead of precipitating the collapse of Israel, it led to the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar and complicated Iran’s strategic position.
Israel’s military response has established a new regional equation, significantly weakening Iran’s influence, as it lost its key proxy in Gaza and became more vulnerable to Israeli strikes.
Iran fears that Israel is setting a trap for both Tehran and Hezbollah, with the goal of provoking them into a regional conflict.
Such a war, according to Iranian leaders, would grant Israel international legitimacy to strike a decisive and potentially devastating blow against them.
The Iranian directive to Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah remains clear: adhere to the strategy of attrition against Israel and maintain the “unity of the arenas,” without deviating from this approach.
Iranian Chief of Staff Mohammad Bakri has confirmed that Iran’s response to the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is “certain” and will be “separate and independent” from the response of the broader resistance axis. However, there is speculation that Iran might target locations in Azerbaijan or the Kurdistan region, claiming these areas house Israeli Mossad bases, to avoid direct military confrontation with Israel and prevent a broader regional conflict.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and the Shin Bet have successfully eliminated Khalil Makdeh, a senior terrorist operative, in a joint operation in Lebanon.
Makdeh, who was deeply involved in smuggling weapons and explosives from Iran to terrorist groups in northern Samaria, was targeted as part of Israel’s ongoing efforts to curb the influence of Iranian-backed militants in the region.
Iran is advancing its preparations for an attack on Israel and has established a joint war room in Tehran for the Revolutionary Guards and its affiliates in the Middle East.
Meanwhile, Iran employs delaying tactics to unsettle the people of Israel, aiming to wear Israel down as part of a broader strategy.
Iran is tightening coordination between the Houthis in Yemen and the Shiite militias in Iraq to attack Israeli and American targets.
On the eve of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s trip to Washington, Israel launched attacks on targets in Yemen in response to a Houthi drone explosion in Tel Aviv.
The Israeli containment policy has ended. The Israeli attack, coordinated with the US, signals Israel’s preparation for an expanded conflict with the Houthis in Yemen.
The heads of the Gulf states have sent congratulatory notes to Massoud Pezeshekian, Iran’s new president, acknowledging his election victory. However, concerns about Iran’s expansionist ambitions remain prevalent. Despite his new role, President Pezeshekian lacks control over the Shiite militias in the Middle East and Iran’s subversive policies against moderate Arab regimes.
The new president of Iran, Massoud Pezeshekian, aims to renew the nuclear agreement with global powers and lift the economic sanctions on Iran, which has already become a nuclear threshold state.
Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is the ultimate decision-maker on this matter.
Meanwhile, Iran is covertly progressing towards producing nuclear weapons within one to two years.
