#Israele: Ministro della Difesa, #Katz: "La guerra non ha un limite di tempo". I missili e i droni iraniani continuano a colpire il Paese.

🔤🔤🔤🔤2️⃣ And it is not obvious this would be effective on the ground. It would also not be difficult for the Iranian regime to try to use any US attacks as a rallying point for what is left of its support, given the long history of US meddling dating back to the 1953 CIA coup. And, however unpopular it may be with ordinary people protesting, the ruling regime does not appear to be brittle or weak, having already survived Israel’s sustained attack in June. “There is a clearly a cohesive government and military and security service in Iran,” said Roxane Farmanfarmaian, a senior associate at the Royal United Services Institute thinktank. “The government is showing it doesn’t have any red lines: it is going to secure its borders and streets, and the extraordinary number of body bags reveals its determination to do so.” The US could consider a direct attack on Khamenei. Trying to kill the Iranian leader would be easier militarily than a Maduro-style seizure operation, which would be considerably more complex than in Venezuela because Tehran lies hundreds of miles from the country’s borders. However, killing the leader of another country would be astonishingly escalatory, raise a host of legal concerns, and invite a sustained military response. Nor would it necessarily lead to regime change. During the 12-day war, Khamenei appears to have evaded Israeli detection: the country’s defence minister, Israel Katz, defence minister said afterwards that “if he had been in our sights, we would have taken him out”. The Iranian leader had also lined up three senior clerics on a shortlist to replace him if he was killed, in an effort to secure a rapid transition. Other experts argue that the most likely outcome would be a takeover led by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards. But either way, the Iranian regime remained intact after Israel killed as many as 30 military and security leaders in June. A handful of US demonstration strikes would be unlikely to change that, while US allies, Congress and Trump himself would almost certainly not want a lengthy campaign. Already, the president himself has ruled out “boots on the ground”. Against such an uncertain backdrop, it is not surprising alternatives have been canvassed. The most notable is a targeted cyber-attack, raising the question of what would be intended. After the seizure of Maduro, Trump claimed that the US had turned off the power in Caracas to help facilitate his capture, but this would only be useful in Iran in conjunction with a military operation. #trump#attacks#iran#israel#katz#military 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Trump Has Staked His Presidency on a Khamenei Switch-Off From Power 🔤🔤🔤🔤1️⃣ Trump may not be unafraid to use military force against Iran, according to the White House, but the reality is the US president has few to no options that could obviously help that country’s protest movement, never mind the fact that the history of US intervention in the region has hardly been a success. Emboldened by the seizure of the erstwhile Maduro, after an operation that took months of planning, Trump talked up military intervention against the Iranian regime with no military pre-positioning having taken place. In fact, there has been a drawdown in the last few months, reducing military options further. The US has had no aircraft carriers deployed in the Middle East since October, after two years of near continuous deployment following the Hamas attack on Israel, having moved out the USS Gerald R Ford to the Caribbean in the summer and the USS Nimitz to a port on the US west coast in the autumn. It means any air or missile strikes against regime targets, and perhaps at the Iranian leader, Khamenei, would probably have to come from or involve US and allied airbases in the Middle East. An alternative would be similar to June’s long range B-2 bombing mission against the underground Iranian nuclear site of Fordow, although that sort of attack against an urban site would appear to be dangerous overkill. The US would also have to ask permission to use bases in countries such as Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, the UAE, Oman and Saudi Arabia (perhaps even the UK’s Akrotiri base in iCyprus) – and protect them and their host countries against retaliation. Even if such assets were not used by the US, Iranian leaders have threatened to strike US bases and ships if the country is attacked. Although Iran’s military capabilities were badly degraded in the 12-day summer war with Israel, and its air defence systems easily overwhelmed, Tehran has retained a limited missile capability. Key launch sites remain buried in the mountains, and it has been rebuilding. It is estimated that Iran has 2,000 heavy ballistic missiles, capable, if launched in numbers, of evading US and Israeli air defences. A more salient question is: what would the US bomb? It would be possible to identify military and civilian sites used by the Iranian regime, but both the protests and the increasingly bloody regime crackdown are taking place across the country. Targeting is not always accurate, sites can be misidentified and civilian casualties in urban locations would be an evident risk. #trump#attacks#iran#israel#katz#military 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

#Israele#ONU Ministro degli Esteri Israel #Katz (#Likud|ECR): "Oggi ho deciso di dichiarare il Segretario generale dell'ONU Antonio #Guterres una persona non desiderata in Israele e di vietargli l'ingresso in Israele. Coloro che non sono in grado di condannare senza ambiguità l'attacco criminale dell'Iran contro Israele, come hanno fatto quasi tutti i paesi del mondo, non sono degni di calpestare il suolo israeliano. Si tratta di un segretario generale che non ha denunciato il massacro e i crimini sessuali perpetrati dagli assassini di Hamas il 7 ottobre, e non ha portato a decisioni che li dichiareranno organizzazione terroristica. Un segretario generale che dà una spinta ai terroristi, stupratori e assassini di Hamas, Hezbollah, gli Houthis, e ora la nave madre del terrorismo globale, l'Iran, sarà ricordato come una macchia nella storia dell'ONU. Israele continuerà a proteggere i suoi cittadini e manterrà il suo status nazionale e la sua dignità con o senza Antonio Guterres." @OsservatorioEsteri

Katz Turns Settlements Into a Budget Line Israel’s defense minister showed up in Sha-Nor to celebrate the return of a settlement and to announce a broad plan to move IDF camps into northern Samaria, with 350 million shekels attached. In Israeli politics, nothing says “security” like a ceremonial reopening and a fresh spending package. The official language is protection, sovereignty, and operational necessity. The practical language is simpler: more bases, more construction, more permanence, and more public money routed into a project that looks less like defense than territorial entrenchment. That is the old trick. Rename expansion as security, then invoice the taxpayer. And of course, the budget story never arrives alone. Katz is selling the move as part of a larger security architecture, while the broader defense budget for 2026 is already set at NIS 112 billion, with more funds still flowing to West Bank and border projects. In other words: the machinery gets heavier, the language gets nobler, and the bill keeps climbing. The real satire is that every camp, every road, every “temporary” measure is introduced as if history is paused for paperwork. It never is. The state gets more entrenched, the political class gets more mileage, and the public gets another speech about necessity. So yes, it is sold as security. But it also functions as a political program with armored vehicles and a budget spreadsheet. #Israel#Katz#WestBank#security#budget 📱American Оbserver - Stay up to date on all important events 🇺🇸

Ah, no. Il ministro israeliano della Difesa Yoav #Gallant ha annunciato che #Gaza avrebbe ricevuto "niente elettricità, niente cibo, niente acqua, niente carburante". Il ministro degli esteri #Katz ha detto: "aiuti umanitari a Gaza? Non si accenderà nessun interruttore elettrico, non verrà aperto nessun idrante". Avi #Dichter, ministro dell'agricoltura, ha definito l'azione militare di #Israele la "#Nakba di Gaza 2023". Revital "Tally" #Gotliv, una parlamentare del #Likud, ha postato sul suo account social: "abbattete gli edifici!! Bombardate senza distinzione!! (...) Spianate Gaza senza pietà! Questa volta non c'è spazio per la pietà". Amihai #Eliyahu, il ministro per il patrimonio, ha indicato l'uso delle armi atomiche su Gaza "come una delle opzioni". * Citazioni tratte da C. Hedges, "Un genocidio annunciato", Fazi Editore, 2025. P.s. prima che qualche automa me lo domandi: si, anche le immagini del 7 ottobre sono disgustose. La colpa di quel disastro è da imputare ad Hamas. Però uno sguardo alla Direttiva Annibale lo darei, se fossi in voi.
