Following the October 7 attack, the Israeli regime initiated the extensive deployment of artificial intelligence in its military operations, including integration with facial-recognition systems to identify wounded combatants, audio-analysis of communications to geolocate targets, and Arabic-language natural-language processing to monitor messages and social-media traffic. These technologies have been employed in the targeted assassination of Hamas commanders and the recovery of hostages, and have been incrementally refined over time.

After years of civil war and the collapse of the Assad government, Syria faces one of the most severe electricity crises in its history. Ahmad al-Shar’a had previously announced his goal of providing eight hours of electricity per day by late February, but power supply has dwindled to the extent that people have access to electricity for only one to two hours a day. This crisis not only disrupts daily life but also poses a major challenge to the country’s political and economic stability. In such circumstances, various options have been proposed to resolve the crisis, one of which includes using gas resources from the occupied territories.

The 2025–2026 Israeli security doctrine, published by the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS), identifies Iran as the principal regional threat. Focusing on Iran’s nuclear programme, the role of the Axis of Resistance, and security cooperation with the United States, the document delineates three plausible scenarios—namely, a new accord with Washington, Iran’s attainment of nuclear capability, and a protracted stalemate—each accompanied by prescribed strategies such as military intervention, economic coercion, and covert operations.

Donald Trump’s recent decision to suspend foreign aid programs has sparked a wave of anger among anti-Iranian groups in the West. This move has significantly disrupted a multi-billion-dollar regime change mechanism led by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the National Endowment for Democracy (NED)—two organizations notorious for funding groups aimed at weakening and destabilizing foreign governments to advance U.S. interests.

In 2024, WhatsApp exposed a cyberattack targeting 90 journalists and activists using zero-click spyware from Israeli firm Paragon Solutions, co-founded by former Prime Minister Ehud Barak. The spyware, named Graphite, granted full access to victims’ phones without any user interaction. While Paragon claims to work only with democratic governments, the identity behind the attack remains unknown. The breach has sparked concerns about messaging app vulnerabilities and calls for stronger cyber defenses and scrutiny of past political assassinations potentially linked to digital surveillance.

In the Operation True Promise II, the Islamic Republic of Iran Armed Forces launched 200 ballistic and hypersonic missiles to pound the positions of the Israeli regime in occupied territories of Palestine.

The middle of April 2024 turned out to be a new turning point in the history of mankind and especially in the context of the Middle East. First, it was October 7, 2023, when the Palestinians showed the fragility of the Zionist essence, now the Iranians easily broke through the air defenses of the “radical cosmopolitans.” Officially, Iranian missiles and drones were the answer for the murder of IRGC representatives inside the Iranian consulate in Damascus. But all observers on both sides of the conflict understand that Tehran’s actions are part of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

The analysis of satellite images by a Western think tank shows that the Yemeni army is setting up several underground missile bases in the provinces of Sanaa and Saada.

The Moroccan monarchy and the Israeli regime have had special military relations for years. After Israeli regime’s agreement with some Arab rulers under the Abraham Accords in 2020, the relationship between the two sides have become public, and the Israeli regime is openly engaging in military contracts with Morocco. The construction of a drone production plant in Morocco is one of the latest military agreements between the two regimes that is being implemented.

On the morning of April 19, images of the wreckages of three Israeli missiles were found in Iraq, approximately 100 kilometers from the borders of Iran. The concurrency of this event with the activities of air defense systems in the skies of Isfahan and Tabriz has led to speculations about an Israeli missile attack on Iran. In the following, we will scrutinize and analyze the mentioned events.

According to IWN assessments and based on the latest news stories and information obtained from the missile and drone operations of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) under the name of ‘Operation True Promise’ against the Israeli regime, the following targets have definitely been targeted:

Following the escalation of tension and expansion of naval operations by the Yemeni Armed Forces in the Indian Ocean, the US Army is also resorting to actions in order to repel the Ansar Allah movement’s missile and drone attacks and minimize the Yemeni group’s success. To this end, gaining control of the southern islands of Yemen seems to be the best solution to counter the Ansar Allah movement’s anti-Israeli operations.
