The recent missile attack on Israel by Iran has once again brought the volatile situation in the Middle East to the forefront of global discussions. US Vice President Kamala Harris, in response to the attack, labeled Iran as a “dangerous” and “destabilizing” force in the region. This statement, although seemingly straightforward, carries a weight and significance that extends beyond mere political rhetoric.
The distinction between rockets and ballistic missiles is a crucial one that many fail to grasp. While rockets are unguided and typically used over short ranges, missiles are guided and employed to hit specific targets with precision. The use of over 200 missiles in the recent attack on Israel underscores the severity of the situation, as each missile posed a direct threat to a particular target.… Continue reading

The evacuation of the intelligence base in Glilot and the implementation of contingency plans for the safety of personnel highlight the seriousness of the potential threat posed by Iran’s actions.… Continue reading
I can’t help but feel conflicted when hearing about Netanyahu’s direct appeal to the Iranian people, stating that their leadership does not care about them. On one hand, it’s hard to argue with the fact that the Iranian government has a history of brutal suppression and disregard for its citizens. The Iranian people have shown immense courage in their attempts to push for change, only to be met with violence and imprisonment. It’s heartbreaking to see a country with such rich history and potential being held back by oppressive leaders who prioritize power and control.
The Iranian government’s agenda of domination and spreading their influence is evident in their support for proxies and assets, but at what cost?… Continue reading

Some found it amusing that the general’s presence in Lebanon remains a mystery, while others pointed out the undeniable coordination between Iran and Hezbollah in the region. This event not only sheds light on the dangerous game of proxy wars that Iran plays but also demonstrates the harsh reality that these proxy groups are often mere pawns in Iran’s geopolitical ambitions.

Israel’s recent breach of the Beirut airport control tower’s frequency and issuing a warning against an Iranian civilian plane is a clear display of power-play in a region rife with tensions. The fact that the Israeli army had the audacity to enter the frequency and issue such a warning raises many questions about the motives behind such actions. While some may view this as a high-profile hack, it is essential to acknowledge that these frequencies are unencrypted and open for public aircraft transmissions.
The use of the term “breaches” to describe this incident may be sensationalist, as these broadcasts are not secretive or encoded.… Continue reading
