Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, arrived in Beirut to attend a memorial ceremony honoring the martyrdom of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Sayyed Hashem Safi al-Din, former leaders of Hezbollah.
In a major televised speech, Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, addressed key issues regarding the 12-day war and Iran’s nuclear energy program.
In the aftermath of the 12-day war with Iran and the October 2023 missile attacks, the Israeli military has launched a new initiative to expand the construction of reinforced concrete shelters inside residential homes. This move reflects Tel Aviv’s ongoing anxiety over missile and drone threats from the Axis of Resistance.
Israel’s Defense Ministry has announced preparations for a new phase of conflict with Iran and Yemen, citing the high costs of intercepting ballistic missiles and the need for accelerated military readiness. To that end, it is forming a Supreme Armaments Council to streamline weapons procurement and strategic planning.
Former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has issued a stark warning about the likelihood of a second war between Israel and Iran, revealing previously alleged undisclosed details about military operations and strategic planning.
During the 12-day imposed war on Iran, Iran’s armed forces’ air defense systems successfully destroyed at least seven Israeli drones. These drones were downed over the provinces of Kermanshah, Ilam, Lorestan, Markazi, and Isfahan.
The Zionist regime is strengthening its multi-layered air defense systems in preparation for the second round of war with Iran. According to the Hebrew media, Major General Amir Baram, Director General of the regime’s Ministry of War, has issued an order to accelerate the development and production of defense systems including Arrow 3, Arrow 4, Iron Dome, David’s Sling, as well as a ground-based laser system.
Over the past two decades, the PJAK, as a key ally of the PKK, has emerged as a significant player in the security dynamics of Iran, Turkey, and the surrounding region, largely due to its close ties with the PKK. With the PKK weakening and Turkey’s strategic priorities shifting, Ankara may now seek to engage more effectively with the PJAK to influence future developments in Iran. This shift in approach could represent a redefinition of Turkey’s policy toward Iran in light of recent geopolitical changes.
Iranian authorities on August 6 executed a man convicted of passing information to the Mossad spy agency about a nuclear scientist killed during the 12-day war with Israel in June, the judiciary said.
Operation True Promise 3 is the designation of a military operation undertaken by the Iranian armed forces in response to the Israeli aggression that lasted 12 days. During this operation, the Iranian forces launched over 300 ballistic missiles, along with a significant number of cruise missiles and suicide drones, targeting positions of the Zionist regime in occupied Palestine. This action resulted in more than 97 successful hits.
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.
