Iran nuclear

The latest revelations reported on by Reuters suggest granular, ambitious planning ahead of a decision by Trump, who has in recent days publicly floated the idea of regime change in Iran.

The extensive and expanding Iranian ballistic missile arsenal is today’s clear and present danger – as is the funding for Tehran’s network of terror proxies.

If the Islamic Republic can weather the blows of the US military and merely remain standing at the end of a Trump presidency, it believes time will be on its side.

"We are much closer than we were before, but I remind you,  a superpower does not go to war within days. There is a diplomatic path that needs to be exhausted," Amos Yadlin said.

The Islamic Republic is a regime whose survival depends on confrontation, whose legitimacy is built on exporting violence, and whose leadership feels secure enough to threaten the US.

Mujahid clarified that the Taliban would show sympathy and possibly cooperate with Iran if requested, but the group is not committing to joining a retaliatory war against the US.

Iran has learned from Trump’s 2025 tactics, using contradictory signals to control nuclear talks and keep the US off balance.

Meanwhile, Trump claimed he was the best friend Israel ever had, and stated that Herzog should be "ashamed" for not pardoning Netanyahu.

When asked whether Israelis should feel reassured about interception capabilities, Steinitz reaffirmed that "Israel has the best air defense system in the world, and it is only improving."

Iran's FM Abbas Araghchi criticizes Miriam Adelson's claims, calls for diplomacy in US-Iran talks, and warns of military retaliation if negotiations fail.
