Trump's recent threats to Iran alongside Netanyahu in Mar-a-lago have taken on a new dimension with the seizure of Maduro – a signal to both Tehran and Trump's anti-interventionist base of how far his administration is willing to go with adversarial regimes
As Iran grapples with internal turmoil and economic woes, and any external attempts at regime change risk further instability, Trump's harsh stance on Tehran and Venezuela highlights his selective approach to global authoritarianism, with his administration appearing to target certain regimes while ignoring others
The protests over Iran's failing economic situation show no sign of stopping, after President Trump warned Iran on Friday that if Tehran 'violently kills peaceful protesters,' the United States 'will come to their rescue'
Iranian authorities confirmed the deaths as protests over the country's economic conditions spread across Iran earlier this week, marking the most intense demonstrations since the 2022 'Woman, Life, Freedom' protests
Amwaj Media reported that Israel signaled it is not seeking to strike Iran, and Iran replied 'in a conditional and non-binding manner.' The Kremlin publicly urged restraint after Trump said Washington would back another strike to halt Iran's weapons buildup
Trump said he would back military action if Iran continued building up its nuclear capabilities. He also said he hopes to move to the next stage of the Gaza cease-fire 'quickly,' and that there 'has to be a disarmament of Hamas.' According to Trump, he and Netanyahu 'don't agree 100 percent' on West Bank policies
Israeli officials anticipate friction over Turkey's role in Gaza and beginning post-war reconstruction before Hamas has fully disarmed, as well as locating the remains of fallen hostage Ran Gvili. Netanyahu is also expected to push for U.S. pressure on Iran to halt its military advancements
The U.S. ambassador to Israel also said that, if the Europeans have not yet grasped that a nuclear Iran presents a threat to them as well, 'then they're even dumber than I sometimes think they are'
A senior US official told Fox News that if Iran ordered the Australia attack, Washington would fully support a direct Israeli counter-strike on Iranian territory.
Since the end of the 12-day war with Israel, the number of executions in Iran has reached new highs. At least 256 prisoners were executed in November alone, as the government signals that internal dissent will not be tolerated amid ongoing threats from Israel and the U.S.
The Mossad's goal in Iran is 'going in to recruit and to obtain intelligence,' former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen said in recordings Haaretz obtained of his remarks at a closed conference. He added that there's a way to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia while 'glossing over' the Palestinian issue
Over the years, Israeli embassies and missions have been targeted by terror groups acting on Iranian orders. During the Gaza and Iran war, and especially since the Israel-Iran war in June, Israel has stepped up preparations against Iranian-directed attacks on its diplomats worldwide
The Knesset approved a NIS 31 billion increase to the 2025 state budget to cover the costs of 'Gideon's Chariots A' and the attack on Iran ■ The IDF's demand for NIS 20 billion to fund 'Gideon's Chariots B' is not covered in the budget ■ This is the fifth time in two years that the government has broken the approved budget
A Russian and Chinese push to delay the return of sanctions on Iran failed at the 15-member UN Security Council after only four countries supported their draft resolution
The response by Middle Eastern countries suggests a coalition that's accepting Iran after a long break because it's not the only power in the region that Israel is attacking. If they think the U.S. can't attend to their interests, the anti-Iran axis could become an anti-Israel axis
A damning report says 12,000 evacuees from June's war with Iran were sent from hotel to hotel amid poor planning, soaring costs, and bureaucratic confusion. The comptroller urges Israel to create a central authority to oversee emergency evacuations
The air war two months ago was all but forgotten until Iran refused to renew talks with the Trump administration for a new nuclear agreement. In the meantime, the Houthis' potshots at Ben-Gurion Airport are worrisome
Why isn't Israel celebrating fresh steps against Iran? Because praising Australia, France, and the U.K. would mean admitting they aren't the Israel-hating, terror-supporting antisemites Netanyahu claims
