"Iran wants to avoid that. That is not what they say — but that's the reality."

@BenAnthony1948 on Newsmax — on Iran's bluster vs. its actual capabilities, and the deterrent that's holding.

Today's situational briefing with @BenAnthony1948:

Two assessments from today's MirYam Institute situational briefing with @BenAnthony1948:

1. The Lebanon "ceasefire" is not functioning.
Hezbollah killed Sergeant Idan Fux this week with an FPV fiber optic drone resistant to jamming.

2. Iran's back is against the wall.
The blockade is working. Israel is ready to return to the campaign at the push of a button.

"Flyover America" is what coastal analysts call it.

"Heartland America" is what it actually is.

@BenAnthony1948 — on the ground between El Dorado and Dallas — on why that distinction matters for anyone serious about U.S. foreign policy.

[The MirYam Institute @MirYamInstitute]

Is Israel safer today than it was on October 6th, 2023?

MirYam Institute Senior Analyst @SpencerGuard makes the case — across every strategic front.

His full analysis is on our website.

Today Israel observes Yom HaZikaron.
Memorial Day for 25,644 fallen soldiers and victims of terror.

The siren sounds this year while Israel is at war.
Two reservists were killed in southern Lebanon just two days ago.

The number grows.
The obligation to remember grows with it.

In Memory Of Our Fallen.

[The MirYam Institute @MirYamInstitute]

Iran has chanted "Death to Israel. Death to America."
for decades.

This is not rhetoric.
It is a documented, repeated statement of intent.

The analytical question is not what Iran wants — it's why the world keeps pretending otherwise.

[The MirYam Institute @MirYamInstitute]

Hezbollah can still fire 200 munitions per day.

Not at military targets.
At civilians.

That is why Israel has no choice but to keep fighting — even as ceasefire talks with Iran continue.

MirYam Institute CEO @BenAnthony1948 on @NewsNation:

[The MirYam Institute @MirYamInstitute]

Israel has made a strategic shift — Lebanon is now the primary war arena.

The IDF struck 100 targets in 10 minutes.
Ground forces are operating from the border to the Litani River.
Hezbollah's military infrastructure is being dismantled.

Senior analyst @YaakovLappin explains what this means and where it leads.

US-Iran talks have collapsed.

Trump has ordered a naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz.

And Israel — the country most directly threatened by Iran — was not at the table.

MirYam Institute CEO @BenAnthony1948 on what this means and where things go from here.

[The MirYam Institute @MirYamInstitute]

During the Iran ceasefire, Israel must now elevate Lebanon as the top priority.

MirYam Institute CEO @BenAnthony1948 on NewsNation: We must intensify the campaign inside southern Lebanon and take the resources that have been deployed toward Iran and redirect them with great precision and intensity against Hezbollah.

Lebanon was never part of the ceasefire.

Israel faces a critical decision: fight Hezbollah to a conclusion — or risk another drawn-out conflict.

The final hours before Trump's Iran ultimatum expires.

What happens if Iran rejects it?

President Trump warned that "whole civilization will die tonight" if Iran does not reach a deal.
The US has hit Kharg Island again — Iran's key oil export terminal.

MirYam Institute CEO @BenAnthony1948 and former Israeli Member of Knesset @rutilande:
With the Strait of Hormuz at stake and 20% of the world's oil on the line, stopping short now could lead to a far more dangerous war in the future.

There was always this idea that no Israeli ever wants to fight.

MirYam Institute CEO @BenAnthony1948: I wanted to fight.

I left the United Kingdom to join the IDF because I wanted to fight.

A Jewish diaspora is impoverished, infeebled, and vulnerable in the absence of a strong Jewish state.

There's an inextricable link between the fates of the two.

MirYam Institute analyst @YaakovLappin:
Look at this war as a process.

From October 7th to today, what we see is a systematic and clear weakening of the entire jihadist Iranian axis.

Every member of this axis has been degraded — from Iran to Hamas to Hezbollah.

They're continually being degraded as we speak.

Prime Minister Netanyahu says Trump's negotiation terms would preserve Israel's essential security priorities.

MirYam Institute CEO @BenAnthony1948:
I don't see how that can possibly be the case.

We haven't eliminated the ballistic missile threat.
We can't trust the Iranians will ship out all their uranium.

The people are not taking to the streets.

[The MirYam Institute @MirYamInstitute]

Iran fired missiles toward Diego Garcia showing that Berlin, Rome, Paris, and London are within range.

MirYam Institute CEO @BenAnthony1948:
This puts paid to the notion that we should wait until a threat is imminent before we act against a regime that has shown it is willing, capable, and able to attack essentially anywhere and everywhere.

Europe has lullabied itself to sleep in the face of the Iranian threat.

The regime's mission is clear: spread the revolution, end the United States, destroy Israel, and dismantle Western civilization

Including Europe.

MirYam Institute CEO @BenAnthony1948: This is why Israel killed Iran's de facto leader Ali Larijani in Tehran. This is why the war must continue.

Full briefing:
https://t.co/bMW7A26Utz

[The MirYam Institute @MirYamInstitute]

Israel killed Iran's de facto leader Ali Larijani in Tehran.

Larijani had become the regime's central decision-maker following the death of the supreme leader.

In a separate strike, Israel also eliminated the commander of the Basij force — the regime's internal repression apparatus.
