When pressure fails: Assessing Israel’s approach to Iran

Iran pursues US at UN after Trump admits he was 'in charge of' June war
TEHRAN – "Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." That is the warning U.S. police give criminal suspects when they are arrested.

Ron Dermer’s resignation underscores Israel’s deep failures
TEHRAN – Ron Dermer, Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister and one of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s closest advisers, has resigned. In his letter, he made a rare admission: the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack was “the darkest day the Jewish people have known since Israel was established.” His words matter because they concede that Israel failed in its most basic duty — protecting the regime. Yet even while acknowledging this failure, Dermer praised Netanyahu’s leadership and tried to frame the government’s response as a success. This is less about accountability and more about shaping a legacy that hides Israel’s deeper failures, especially its ongoing oppression of Palestinians.
