Pro-Hamas crowd chanting against FDD at GW University in Washington DC.

Badge of honor.

It takes clarity, insight and mental discipline to be able to cut through the noise and focus on the real root of a problem. ⁦Mark Dubowitz⁩ has been doing that for nearly 20 years regarding Iran. Read this to understand what a nuclear Iran means. wsj.com/articles/irans…

Iran fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel but failed to hit anything of substance. Israel struck sensitive targets in the heart of Iran with a fraction of the weapons Iran used, but sent a clear message: nothing in Iran is protected from the Israeli Air Force

I'm hosting FDD Morning Brief again. My guest: Yossi Kuperwasser, fmr. head of Israel Defense Forces intel research & dir. gen. of #Israel 's Ministry of Strategic Affairs. We talk about the strike inside #Iran overnight & more. Subscribe: fdd.org/fddmorningbrief twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Great hanging Jonathan Schanzer Enia Krivine . Next Morning Brief coming up in about two hours with BG (res) Yossi Kuperwasser, Yossi Kuperwasser who is a top Israeli intel and Iran expert. Lot's to unpack regarding last night's events.

Very good analysis here by Mark Dubowitz on how this Israeli strike matters.

Iran seeks to return to the shadows and is downplaying the Israeli strike on the strategic city of Isfahan, but I think they’ve gotten the message: Israel can penetrate Iranian defenses and strike wherever it wants.

Advanced air defenses developed over decades by Israel and the US delivered above and beyond expectations and saved many lives in Israel. Tremendous return on investment. ⁦AIPAC⁩. Story by ⁦Ruth Marks Eglash⁩

I’m humbled by such praise. 🫡We’re fighting for our just cause together, and will continue sharing our truth and fighting the lies of our enemies and their supporters.

שעת כושר עבור מדינת ישראל לקדם מול המערב נושאים אסטרטגיים בנושא איראן: סנקציות, דזיגנציות וצמצום תכנית הגרעין האיראנית. וגם לתרגם את ההצלחה ההגנתית לעשייה התקפית בעזה.

Interesting to say the least

We’re not applying enough military pressure on Hamas to get our hostages home. Hamas has refused our latest offer, and we need to face that and act accordingly.

When it says “21 minute read” at the head of the interview, it basically says “read only if you really, really care about the topic”. If you have the stamina, you’ll probably find a few interesting nuggets. quillette.com/2024/04/16/jon…

A friendly reminder to our European allies: Iran possesses ballistic missiles capable of reaching central and Western Europe.

Putting the rogue Iranian regime in place is also a European interest. This should start now. fdd.org/analysis/2023/…

The shoe’s on the other foot now.

The evil Iranian regime is bracing for impact, probably knowing that whenever and wherever Israel will strike, it won’t be like the Iranian bellyflop of hubris of April 14.

Iran swung and missed, but we shouldn’t assume that all of their offensive and defensive capabilities are as poor. Vigilance is needed for the next step against Iran. On the evening edition of the ⁦FOX News Radio⁩ radio.foxnews.com/2024/04/15/eve…
