החגיגות אחרי ההכרזה על מוג'תבא חמינאי כמנהיג העליון של האיראן

The ayatollahs’ deadliest weapon against Iran is despair

Opinion: While Israel measures the Iranian threat in centrifuges and ballistic missiles, the regime’s deepest damage may be the despair it has inflicted on its own people; Iran’s collapsing birthrate tells the story of a civilization pushed to abandon its future

100 hours of war is just the beginning

Analysis: Israel and the US have secured broad air superiority over Iran and sharply reduced missile fire and the campaign is now shifting to a second phase aimed at systematically dismantling the regime’s military capabilities

Yossi Yehoshua | 03.05.26

The end of the Supreme Leader is not the end of the battle

Opinion: The war that Tehran has been waging since Khamenei's assassination proves how entrenched the Iranian regime is; Even if the Supreme Leader's death destabilizes the top ayatollahs, changing the face of the regime could be a much more complex task to accomplish
