How Israeli Cyber-Snooping on Tehran’s Street Cameras Helped Track Khamenei’s Movements
The Financial Times reports that Israeli intelligence hacked Tehran’s traffic-camera network and fused that imagery with signals and human intelligence to track Ayatollah Khamenei’s entourage, enabling a Feb. 28 strike that killed him.

Grief and Accusation After School Strike in Iran Deepens Regional Rift
A missile strike on a girls’ primary school in Minab, Iran, killed at least 165 people, mostly children, and prompted mass funerals, international condemnation and calls for independent investigations.

U.S. and Israel Renew Strikes on Iran’s Underground Missile Sites, Satellite Imagery Shows
Satellite imagery and analysis indicate U.S. and Israeli strikes have renewed focus on Iran’s underground ballistic missile facilities, including sites rebuilt after June 2025 attacks. The use of B‑2 bombers with large penetrator warheads signals an effort to reach buried infrastructure, but eliminating such capabilities without ground forces is unlikely to be decisive.

Bureaucracy and Underfunding Threaten Europe’s Defence Tech Edge — and Its Strategic Autonomy

Commercial satellite images released by the Associated Press show damage to Iran's presidential complex in Tehran after the Israel Defense Forces said it struck a leadership compound.

Iran Says Defence, Not Diplomacy, Is Its Priority After Strikes Disrupt Talks
Iran’s foreign ministry says its military actions are defensive and that national defence—not resuming talks with the United States—is its present priority after U.S. and Israeli strikes reportedly killed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. The attacks have disrupted mediation-led progress toward technical talks in Vienna and raised the risk of a prolonged cycle of reprisals across the region.
