    The IDF publishes a summary of Operation Rising Lion, ... According to the report, for months leading up to the operation, Military Intelligence gathered evidence that Iran was rapidly enriching uranium to 60% - a level sufficient to produce several nuclear bombs in a short time. Intelligence also revealed a covert regime plan involving advanced nuclear weapon research and experimentation in key areas. In parallel, the Iranian regime was preparing to triple its production of precision missiles, expanding its arsenal from 2,500 to 8,000 missiles. This was part of a broader strategy that included a multi-front attack against Israel, beginning...

    During Operation Rising Lion, the Islamic Republic of Iran was left diplomatically and militarily isolated. Despite having agreements or understandings with entities such as Russia, China, and North Korea, no nation, not one, offered —even the smallest— military assistance to Iran in response to the offensive. Iran's Islamic fascist, regime, was left standing alone internationally. Promised alliances, including alleged pacts with Vladimir Putin (Russia), Xi Jinping (China), and North Korea’s leadership, failed to produce any tangible support. Iran received zero military assistance, a fact widely interpreted as a sign of isolation both regionally and globally. This lack of support starkly...

    In a striking twist, the operation targeting Iran’s nuclear scientists is known as "Narnia" in Israel, a name that reflects the operation’s improbable nature. Israel’s Mossad operation to eliminate Iranian’s top nuclear scientists is named “Operation Narnia.”

    Reza Pahlavi said he prepared a 100-day transition plan for establishing democratic rule, "by the Iranian people and for the Iranian people." Reza Pahlavi, the exiled son of the last Shah of Iran, urged the country’s security forces and state employees to rise up against the Islamic regime, whose “fall has begun” in an “address to the Iranian nation” on Tuesday. “My fellow countrymen, the Islamic Republic has reached its end and is in the process of collapsing,” Pahlavi said in remarks in Farsi that were posted on his social-media channels. Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, “like a frightened rat, has...

    Foreign Policy ^ | NOVEMBER 7, 2017 | DOV ZAKHEIM
    <p>There seems to be a general consensus in Washington that Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s ongoing purge of princes and businessmen — including the wealthiest of them all, the business mogul and Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal — is motivated by his determination to consolidate his power, well before his father, King Salman, passes from the scene. He is in this regard a latter-day Adonijah, who had himself crowned king while his father King David was alive. And, like Adonijah, Mohammed bin Salman has made some very powerful enemies in the process. Unlike that Biblical figure, however, he has his father’s support and has taken care to arrest anyone who might threaten his drive to preeminence.</p>

    *** Just before the attacks commenced, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slipped a prayer into a crack in the Western Wall. He scribbled this note with full knowledge that Operation Rising Lion was about to begin. The name of the plan is also likely a nod to Iran's pre-regime flag, which was emblazoned with a lion. ... And what ensued is said to have exceeded the Israelis' wildest expectations *** A crucial component to this sweeping success was the element of surprise. The Israelis engaged in deception and subterfuge of their own, of course, but the President of the United States...

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended warm birthday wishes to President Donald Trump, hailing him as an “extraordinary leader” and a steadfast ally to Israel, while delivering a forceful address that underscored the growing pressure on Iran’s leadership, stressing that Israel believes “senior leaders” in the regime are already “packing their bags” as Israel intensifies its military operations. On Saturday, in an official statement, Netanyahu highlighted the urgent need for Israel’s ongoing military actions, emphasizing the threat posed by Iran’s leadership. He praised the unwavering support of President Trump, stating, “What you’re doing now, helping protect Israeli lives against the...

    <p>The quote, drawn from the biblical Book of Numbers, held deep symbolic weight. While seemingly cryptic at the time, it now appears to have foreshadowed the name and spirit of the military campaign that would unfold just hours later: Operation “Im K’Lavi” “With a Lion’s Heart.” The strikes began during the night, targeting Iranian strategic sites, most notably the Natanz nuclear facility, in a coordinated and extensive air assault.</p>
