Israel targeted top Iranian leaders by hacking, tracing their bodyguards’ phones — report
“Using so many bodyguards is a weakness that we imposed on them, and we were able to take advantage of that,” one Israeli defense official said.

An objective assessment of what Iran claims to have achieved in its 12-Day War with Israel. What claims were exaggerations, which claims were honest and accurate and which were just plain hokum?
Western mainstream media has paid little attention to Iran’s retaliatory strikes on Israel during the 12-Day War. However, their impact was far more serious than we’ve been told. Prompting Netanyahu to consider striking at the Ayatollah Khamenei personally, which only Putin’s personnel intervention prevented
Iran suspected of using Yemen as a live-fire test bed in the development of new missiles. Multiple reports suggest that the Houthis are now using advanced new cluster munitions against Israel
Revealing some little known facts about the background to the conflict. For example, did you know that Trump’s chief negotiator on Iran, Steve Witkoff, carries a pager that Netanyahu personally gave him with the inscription: “Dear Steve, Friend of the State of Israel” and the acronym, “OTJ”, meaning One Tough Jew?
The hardware includes new missiles with pinpoint accuracy that are impervious to electronic and electromagnetic counter-measures
In the wake of its June 2025 conflict with Israel, Iran has upgraded its air defences. It has also acquired new missiles that possess electromagnetic pulse (EMP) capabilities to disrupt enemy electronic systems
Iran warns that the war with Israel and the U.S. is not yet over. As it braces for a resumption in hostilities it warns that in the next phase it will hit back harder
Together with the suspected delivery of the S-400 air defence system, the reported delivery of the Krasukha Electronic Warfare System suggests that Iran is redoubling efforts to bolster its defences in anticipation of renewed U.S./Israeli strikes
“The missiles used in the 12-day war were manufactured… a few years ago,” says Iranian Defense Minister Nassirzadeh. “Today, we have missiles with far greater capabilities than previous missiles, and if the Zionist enemy embarks on the adventure again, we will undoubtedly use them.”
Only a few weeks ago he boasted that he had “totally obliterated” Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Now President Trump has quietly conceded that his earlier claim wasn’t “necessarily conclusive”
Iran implies that direct strikes on mainland USA may be an option
