Israel Iran War

The conflict, now an overspill of the US-Iran war, has added new chaos to a region already aflame, and threatens to draw other states into grueling mountain fighting.

Iran has now warned regional countries that any attempt to open new routes for oil exports would be considered hostile, a senior regional official close to Tehran said.

Prosecutors say the 25-year-old from Baka al-Gharbiya carried out missions for an Iranian handler, received cryptocurrency payments, used AI tools, and shared details about his workplace security.

A senior Israeli defense official said Iran's room for maneuver has narrowed amid US sanctions, while Israel is preparing for the possibility that an Iranian move could spiral out of control.

With estimated war costs of NIS 350b and public debt near 70% of GDP, Israel’s next government must balance surging defense spending with urgent education and labor market reforms.

"The consequences of a US agreement with Iran are very severe even if they do not have an effect on Israel’s freedom of action," former national security council head Meir Ben-Shabbat explained.

"We will move to strike nuclear facilities and any site belonging to them again if Tehran crosses any of the red lines, whether with or without the participation of the US," an Israeli official said.

The US was accused of the targeting a school in the city of Minab and a sports center in the city of Lamerd, while the Iranian regime was accused of the handling protests.

"It was perfectly clear to me that we'd been hit because of the violence of that impact... The best way I've been able to describe that moment was: getting hit by a freight train," said 'Bravo.'
