In a speech to young army officers, he argued that Israel has “unprecedented freedom of action” following recent airstrikes on Iranian targets, saying: “We can go anywhere in Iran if we need to.” This statement underscores Israel’s commitment to confronting the Iranian nuclear threat and reflects heightened tensions between the two nations. Netanyahu’s remarks highlight a critical juncture in the ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel, which is expected to intensify in light of the election of the hardline Trump-Vance duo.
Threatening
Israel’s extreme political leadership perceives Iran’s nuclear ambitions as an existential threat. The recent airstrikes, which targeted Iranian military sites, including those linked to missile production and defense systems, signal Israel’s readiness to take decisive action. Iran’s pursuit of nuclear capabilities has become a central point of international discourse, particularly in light of recent geopolitical developments. The argument that Iran now has every reason to become a nuclear power reflects a confluence of security concerns, regional dynamics and historical grievances that shape Tehran’s strategic calculations.
Iran’s nuclear program dates back to the 1950s, but gained significant momentum after Khomeini’s revolution in 1979. Since then, Iran has perceived itself as surrounded by hostile powers, particularly the United States and Israel. The US invasion of Iraq in 2003 heightened these fears, as Iranian leaders recognized that the lack of a nuclear deterrent could leave them vulnerable to similar military interventions. This historical background underscores Iran’s belief that the possession of nuclear weapons would serve as a critical deterrent against foreign aggression.
The Iranian leadership sees its nuclear program as part of a broader deterrence strategy that includes missile capabilities and proxy militias. The rationale is clear: by developing a nuclear arsenal, Iran can deter potential attacks from adversaries such as Israel and the US, thus ensuring its sovereignty. This perspective is reinforced by recent conflicts in the region, where Iranian officials have discussed the need to weaponize their nuclear program to restore the balance of power.
The changing geopolitical landscape of the Middle East has further cemented Iran’s determination to pursue its nuclear capabilities. The partial normalization of relations between Israel and several Arab states through the Abraham Accords has created a sense of isolation for Tehran. In this context, acquiring nuclear weapons could strengthen Iran’s strategic position and provide prestige in regional negotiations. Iran has historically used proxy groups such as Hezbollah and various militias in Iraq and Syria to project power and influence across the region.
Features
A nuclear arsenal would allow Iran to operate with greater impunity, as it could threaten retaliation against any military action taken against its proxies or its territory. This approach is in line with Iran’s long-standing strategy of using asymmetric warfare to counter conventional military threats from its adversaries. Trump’s 2018 collapse of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) marked a turning point in Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
After the US withdrew from the deal and reimposed sanctions, Iran’s leadership concluded that they could no longer rely on diplomatic engagement with Western powers for security guarantees. Instead, they began accelerating their nuclear program, enriching uranium to levels that brought them closer to weaponization. Iranian leaders perceive a growing anti-Iranian sentiment among Western nations, exacerbated by issues such as human rights abuses and military support for Russia during its invasion of Ukraine.
REVELATION
From Iraq the next one Iranian attack
Western media reported that Iran would retaliate in response to recent Israeli strikes, possibly by launching one-way drones and ballistic missiles from Iraq. Unidentified Israeli sources said that Iranian-backed Iraqi militias may attack Israel using a large volume of drones and ballistic missiles in the coming days.
Firepower
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, which is a coalition of Iranian-backed Iraqi militias, has repeatedly attacked Israel in recent months, using, in particular, the following weapon systems:
- Drone Shahed-101: The Iranian-made Shahed-101 has a range of about 600 kilometers. The Iranian-made Shahed-136 drone reportedly has a range of 2,500 kilometers.
- Drone KAS-04: The KAS-04 is a variant of the long-range Iranian-designed Samad drone.
- Drone Al Arfad: Al Arfad is a variant of the KAS-04 drone.].
- Arqab cruise missile: These are Iranian Paveh missiles with a range of approximately 1,650 kilometers.
Iran also began supplying Iraqi militias with short-range ballistic missiles, including Zelzal, Fateh-110 and Zolfaghar missiles, in 2018, but the militias have not used ballistic missiles to attack Israel in the October 7 war so far. . The Islamic Resistance in Iraq could use these attacks to test and learn how to best bypass Israeli air defenses. An Iranian-backed Iraqi militia attack against Israel, as opposed to a direct attack on Israel from Iranian soil, would benefit Iran by allowing Tehran to maintain its dwindling stockpile of long-range missiles.
Influence
That Iran could launch an attack against Israel through its proxies in Iraq underscores the extent to which Iran has increased its military and political control over Federal Iraq. Iran has increasingly infiltrated Iraqi military and political institutions (such as the Popular Mobilization Forces and the Iraqi Judiciary) in recent years. The most recent example of Iran’s growing influence in Iraq was the election of politician Mahmoud al-Moshatani as speaker of Parliament on October 31.

It seems like you’ve pasted a snippet of JavaScript code that handles various advertising and tracking scripts. Below is a brief breakdown of its structure and key components, along with some recommendations for improving readability and functionality:
### Code Breakdown
1. **Ad Removal for Mobile**:
“`javascript
document.querySelectorAll(‘.adsense-for-mobile’).forEach(function(e) {
e.querySelector(‘.adsbygoogle’).remove();
});
“`
– This part removes AdSense containers specifically for mobile devices.
2. **AdSense Handling**:
“`javascript
const adSenseSlots = document.querySelectorAll(‘.adsbygoogle’);
const adSenseSlotCount = adSenseSlots.length;
if (adSenseSlotCount > 0) {
adSenseSlots.forEach(function(e){
// Logic for processing each AdSense slot
});
}
“`
– This segment checks if there are any AdSense slots and includes a placeholder for further logic to handle them.
3. **Adman Integration**:
“`javascript
window.AdmanQueue = window.AdmanQueue || [];
AdmanQueue.push(function(){
Adman.adunit({id:338,h:’}); // Incomplete code
});
“`
- Sets up a queue for invoking the Adman script, but the code is incomplete.
4. **OneSignal Setup**:
“`javascript
window.OneSignalDeferred = window.OneSignalDeferred || [];
OneSignalDeferred.push(function(OneSignal) {
OneSignal.init({
appId: “487cc53b-3b66-4f84-8803-3a3a133043ab”,
});
});
“`
– Initializes OneSignal for push notifications.
5. **Disqus Configuration**:
“`javascript
var disqus_config = function() {
this.page.url = “”; // Incomplete URL
this.page.identifier = 1562584;
};
setTimeout(function(){
(function() {
var d = document,
s = d.createElement(‘script’);
s.src=””; // Incomplete script URL
s.setAttribute(‘data-timestamp’, +new Date());
(d.head || d.body).appendChild(s);
})();
}, 3000);
“`
– Sets up Disqus for comments but lacks complete URLs.
6. **Load Additional Scripts**:
- The function `cmpActionCompleted` seems to serve as a callback for loading additional scripts, but the script URLs are missing or incomplete.
– Multiple comments and sections for different ad services are included, indicating a modular approach.
7. **Set Timers & Load Scripts**:
– There are several `setTimeout` calls for delaying the loading of scripts, with some sections incomplete.
### Recommendations
1. **Complete URLs/Scripts**: Ensure that all URLs for scripts (e.g., for Disqus, AdSense, etc.) are complete. Replace placeholders with actual URLs.
2. **Error Handling**: Implement error handling to manage cases when scripts fail to load properly.
3. **Consolidation and Cleanup**: Consider consolidating similar functionalities and cleaning up commented-out code to enhance readability.
4. **Comments**: Use comments to explain complex logic instead of leaving multiple unfinished script calls.
5. **Asynchronous Loading**: Make sure that `asyncLoadScript` and other loading functions properly handle their asynchronous nature, perhaps using Promises or async/await for better control over script execution order.
6. **Check Mobile Views**: Ensure that any mobile-specific handling (like the first section that removes ads) correctly detects the mobile environment.
By following these recommendations, you can improve the maintainability and functionality of your code.
