The snag in Iran is that those who wish to make a deal dare not do so because they lack a popular street base within the Khomeinist movement.

A dictatorial regime that publicly tolerates calls for the assassination of the president of the United States cannot be treated as just another difficult adversary.

Citing 'reliable research estimates,' the PA stated in December 2025 that Hamas had raised no less than '$11 billion,' which the terror organization had spent filling its own warehouses 'to the brim' rather than spending it on Gazans.

'More severe and crushing measures than before are on the way' if Israel continues its actions, the statement said.

The Israeli response is particularly notable because it came despite intense public pressure from President Trump to avoid further escalation.

'You've shot your missiles, that's enough. Get back to the table and make a deal,' Trump said.

Iranian and non-Iranian critics flooded social media with harsh criticism of Trump as details of the possible deal began to leak.

Its operatives move around in public, strengthen governance, man armed checkpoints, and restore government infrastructure.

Critics often frame Iranian politics as a struggle between moderates and hardliners, but this distinction has repeatedly proven disastrously misleading.

Rayan Amiri, an Iranian opposition leader, fled to Turkey after filming violent crackdowns on anti-regime protests and now advocates replacing Islamist rule with secular nationalism.

Officials reportedly warned that protests are likely inevitable, with uncertainty focused only on timing.

Recruits were dispatched to monitor sensitive locations, including Israeli security and military sites.

Trump met Iran's moves with countermoves that were even stronger, instead of with restraint.

For the Iranian regime and its proxies, survival equals victory. If they are not destroyed, if they retain their weapons, if they remain in power, they can claim success.

Not only is the Iranian regime scrambling to rebuild the military capabilities it lost in Israeli-American airstrikes, but it is also cracking down hard on anyone who dares oppose its rule.

At its peak, Lebanon enjoyed one of the highest GDP per capita levels in the region and was regarded as a rare oasis of stability in a turbulent Middle East.

The site was used to manufacture nitric acid, a key material in the development of explosives and missile propulsion systems.

Khadami was one of the most central commanders in the Revolutionary Guards and had accumulated extensive military and security experience over many years.

A ceasefire deal now would not resolve the underlying problem—it would freeze it in place temporarily while allowing the regime to recover.

The ongoing strikes are part of efforts to damage Iran’s ballistic missile capabilities and reduce the scale of missile fire directed at Israeli civilians.

'The IDF will hunt you down one by one,' Katz warned.

In September, a Hamas terrorist cell from the Hebron area was arrested by Israeli security forces for plotting to assassinate Ben-Gvir using explosive-laden drones.

Over the weekend, an Iranian missile struck a kindergarten in the central Israeli city of Rishon LeZion, causing heavy damage but no injuries as school was not in session.

Naini had served in multiple roles over the years within Iran’s propaganda apparatus, most recently acting as the chief voice of the IRGC.

Instead of foregrounding Larijani’s role within a regime accused of violently suppressing protests, coverage leaned into biography. Scholar. Pragmatist. A man of ideas.

The couple was found near the entrance to their safe room, suggesting they had attempted to reach shelter but did not make it in time.

'We are shaking this regime in the hope of giving the Iranian people an opportunity to remove it,' Netanyahu said.

'This is not the time for peace,' Khamenei reportedly said, insisting the United States and Israel must first be defeated and made to pay a compensation.

'Larijani and the commander of the Basij were eliminated tonight and joined the head of the destruction program deep in hell,' Katz said.

Even as Iran’s ballistic missile barrages on Israel decline in volume, the regime’s rising use of cluster munitions is creating a new and escalating threat.

'The Iranian terrorist regime did not abandon its program and continued to develop and advance the capabilities required for nuclear weapons,' the military said.

The Islamic Republic has no shortage of sympathizers throughout the region willing to target American diplomats.

The aircraft were used to move weapons and cash to Iranian-backed groups throughout the region.

While today the regime seeks to use the gold-plated facility to honor itself, any future regime should do the opposite.

For the first time in decades, truly courageous leadership has emerged in the presence of U.S. President Donald J. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

'It does not matter what his name is or where he hides,' Katz warned.

Whoever is in charge, the leadership has yet to hold a funeral for Khamenei—a striking delay, given that Islamic tradition calls for burial as soon as possible.

Like his Palestinian proxies, Khamenei was always prepared to sacrifice as many Palestinians as possible as part of the Jihad against Israel and the US.
