Israel’s digital house of cards

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.

A ceasefire that bleeds: Gaza war repackaged as peace
TEHRAN – The October 10 ceasefire in Gaza was sold to the world to signal that Israel’s war on the Palestinian enclave had finally stopped.

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.
