Tehran’s Ultimatum: Iran Signals Long-Term Ambitions in Bold Ceasefire Demands

Brinkmanship in the Negev: Iran’s Missile Breakthrough Challenges Israel’s Nuclear Taboo
Iran has successfully launched missile strikes near Israel's Dimona nuclear facility, marking a significant breach of Israeli air defenses. The escalation has prompted a 48-hour ultimatum from the U.S. regarding the Strait of Hormuz, as both sides threaten to target critical civilian infrastructure.
Assassination of Ali Larijani Triggers Iranian Retaliation and Stark Escalation Across the Middle East
Iran confirmed the killing of Supreme National Security Council secretary Ali Larijani in an airstrike, prompting the IRGC to launch a major missile campaign against Israeli targets and warnings of attacks on Gulf petrochemical sites. The incident removes a senior, experienced Iranian operator from the political landscape and risks prolonging and regionalising the conflict, with immediate consequences for security and global energy markets.
Iran Launches Major Missile Wave at Tel Aviv and Executes Alleged Mossad Asset as Fighting Spreads
Iran announced a major missile salvo against Tel Aviv as part of a declared campaign of retaliation and executed an individual it accused of spying for Mossad. The US has conducted strikes on Iranian missile sites and is accelerating production of Iranian‑style drones, while Ukraine and Gulf states exchange expertise on countering unmanned threats, underscoring a widening, technology‑intense confrontation.
Iran Executes Alleged Mossad Agent as Bushehr Nuclear Plant Is Struck; IRGC Vows ‘Toughest’ Retaliation
Iran executed an individual it says spied for Mossad and announced plans for a major retaliatory strike after a projectile struck the Bushehr nuclear plant complex. The IAEA confirmed the strike but reported no damage or casualties while urging restraint, underscoring heightened risks of military escalation and potential nuclear safety consequences.
Claims and Counterclaims: Israel Says It Killed Iran’s Security Chief as Tehran Pushes Back and Hardliners Consolidate
Israel announced it had assassinated Ali Larijani in a precision strike near Tehran, but Iranian state media published recent handwritten material attributed to Larijani that contradicts that claim. The episode comes amid escalating exchanges between Israel, Iran and U.S. forces, the recent appointment of hardliner Mohsen Rezaei as a military adviser in Tehran, and growing strains on U.S. naval readiness and allied willingness to secure the Strait of Hormuz.
Gulf Flare‑Up Enters Third Week as Iran Calls on Muslim States and Strikes Hit US Bases
The US‑Iran‑Israel confrontation entered its 18th day as Iran publicly urged Islamic states to back it and the IRGC claimed missile-and-drone strikes on US air bases in the Gulf. Baghdad's Green Zone was again targeted, US embassy defences intercepted an aerial threat, and mixed diplomatic signals suggest both back‑channel approaches and escalating military rhetoric.
Leaked Iranian Recording Claims Supreme Leader’s Son Narrowly Escaped US‑Israeli Strike, Raising Questions about Succession and Security
A leaked recording made public by the Telegraph alleges that Mujtaba, a son of Iran’s Supreme Leader and a figure in succession discussions, narrowly survived a Feb. 28 US‑Israel airstrike on the Khamenei compound in Tehran by stepping into the garden minutes before a missile hit. The tape claims multiple family members and senior IRGC commanders were killed or seriously wounded, and its circulation signals both a possible escalation in targeting Iran’s top echelon and internal leaks or security lapses in Tehran.
How Iran’s Guardianship System Keeps It Standing: The Political Glue Behind Tehran’s Resilience
Iran’s velayat‑e faqih — the guardianship of the jurist — has been institutionalized into a network of political, economic and military bodies that give the regime resilience against US and Israeli pressure. That architecture allows Tehran to absorb shocks, mobilize resources and pursue asymmetric deterrence, even as economic malaise and generational change pose long‑term risks.
Iran Deploys Two‑Stage 'Mudstone' Ballistic Missile Against Israel, Signalling a New Phase of Escalation
Iran's IRGC says it used a two‑stage solid‑fuel medium‑range ballistic missile nicknamed "Mudstone" against Israeli military targets, calling the attack part of a broader operation. The use of an MRBM represents a tactical and symbolic escalation, complicating missile‑defence efforts and heightening risks of wider regional confrontation.
Aging Arsenal, Persistent Strikes: IRGC Says Decade‑Old Missiles Still Powering Attacks on US and Israel
The IRGC says most missiles used in recent strikes against the US and Israel were made about a decade ago and that many newer missiles remain unused. It also claimed roughly 700 missiles and 3,600 drones have been launched so far, a tally that, if true, signals a sustained Iranian capability that continues to challenge regional defenses and raise escalation risks.
