As the war drags on, the question … ‘Is Israel still a vital US interest?’ becomes increasingly relevant. The failure to decisively defeat Hamas and the growing risks of a regional war involving Iran may force US and European policymakers to reconsider the costs associated with unwavering support for Israel,
Recent media portrayals of Israeli military setbacks at the hands of Hezbollah hint at the reality that public opinion in the Gulf remains opposed to unconditional support for Israel. This … becomes even more pronounced when Israel engages in aggressive military actions that provoke backlash across the Arab world,
Such tests may have included high explosives compressing a core of natural uranium, simulating the initiation of a nuclear explosive,
It is not certain whether Iran used uranium at ‘Taleghan 2,’ but it is possible it studied the compression of natural uranium hemispheres, which would explain its hasty and secretive renovation efforts following the IAEA’s request to access Parchin in 2011.
Inspectors are safe and continue their vital work,
There will be a sigh of relief across Iran and the region that the US managed to restrain Netanyahu for now,
It is possible for the two sides to close this round at least, and that we will not see an Iranian retaliation — or if we'll see it, it will be small in scale,
The music that I hear from Iran is basically saying, 'Oh, this is nothing,'
But the fear is that this is a temporary restraint leading up to the US elections. The 'lame duck' phase ahead could be a moment where we see renewed Israeli attacks inside Iran — as a perceived golden window to further deplete Iranian capabilities,
We must remember that Israel's end goal is to bring the Iranian nuclear program to an end, and any Iranian retaliation will provide Israel with the opportunity to continue pursuing this goal,
Iran may be frustrated that its deterrence against Israel has waned, but it's unlikely to be temerarious in trying to restore it,
It is up to the authorities to determine how to convey the power and will of the Iranian people to the Israeli regime and to take actions that serve the interests of this nation and country,
The air force struck throughout Iran. We severely harmed Iran's defense capabilities and its ability to produce missiles that are aimed toward us,
If Iran chooses to respond once again, we will be ready, and there will be consequences for Iran once again,
The U.S. complicity in Israel's aggression early on Saturday is crystal clear for us,
We fully reserve our right to duly respond to this aggression, which cannot be separated from Israel's genocide in Gaza and bloodshed in Lebanon,
However, we do not want to see that happen,
All acts of escalation are condemnable and must stop.
Israel is attacking - we've got a war going on and she's out partying,
It would be wrong for us to say that it was nothing and it did not matter,
