    Netanyahu’s US tour: A shameful display of collusion against justice and peace

    TEHRAN – In the midst of historic global turmoil, an alarming spectacle is once again unfolding: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is preparing for yet another visit to the United States to meet with President Donald Trump. This trip, which comes on the heels of multiple previous visits since Trump’s return to the White House, is not a diplomatic milestone — it is the latest chapter in a troubling alliance that undermines justice, fuels regional conflict, and exposes the United States as little more than Israel’s political enabler on the world stage.

    Israel’s digital house of cards

    Why the cyber superpower myth is failing

    TEHRAN – For decades, Israel has meticulously curated an image of itself as an impenetrable "cyber superpower," a high-tech "villa in the jungle" where the fabricated "start-up nation" myth provided a psychological shield for its settler population.

    Preparedness is not provocation 

    Israel, Iran, and the perils of nuclear exceptionalism

    GOA – West Asia is once again approaching a dangerous threshold. Israel’s growing readiness for a direct strike against Iran is no longer confined to intelligence leaks, anonymous briefings, or speculative commentary. It has entered the realm of open political discourse, strategic messaging, and military preparation. In global capitals, the discussion is no longer whether Israel contemplates such a strike, but how close the region is to a point of no return—one that could reshape regional and global security in profoundly destabilising ways.

    From nuclear fear to missile anxiety: Israel’s reframing of the Iran threat

    How Iran’s missile program has moved to the center of Israel’s security discourse

    MADRID – In recent weeks, a new Israeli security narrative has been taking shape. Its object is not new, the Islamic Republic of Iran, but its central discursive axis has undergone a subtle yet significant shift. Where the nuclear program once occupied the primary place in the rhetoric of existential threat, the emphasis has now broadened and, in some discourses, shifted toward Iran’s ballistic missile program.

    Fractured fortress: Israel crumbling from within

    TEHRAN – Israel often presents itself as a regional fortress, with its military active from Gaza to Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen, and in confrontations linked to Iran. From the outside, it seems untouchable, disciplined, and in control. But a closer look reveals that the walls are cracking. Every strike, every campaign is like a hammer blow against the world, yet the same blows reverberate inside, shaking Israel itself. The more Israel relies on force, the more the foundations beneath it weaken.
