After the monkey that didn't quite make it to space, the Iranian 'stealth bomber'

Iran continues to showcase its technological achievements in commemoration of 34 years to the Islamic Revolution, with the aim of presenting Iran as at the forefront of technology, despite its international isolation.

An Iranian technician holds a monkey which has been prepared for riding Iranian rocket into space.

Shimon Peres with Israeli children, May 2012.

Actually, Shimon Peres has opposed war with Iran for years

When President Shimon Peres spoke out this week against an Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear facilities, his long-standing opposition to such a move finally became public.

Netanyahu and Barak

Will Israel attack Iran? – The voice of experience vs. an insider’s view

Since no-one knows for sure what Benjamin Netanyahu and Ehud Barak will decide come the moment of truth, perhaps they don’t even know for sure, it is instructive to look at the past decisions of both men.

Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu.

The blog is back with a question – Why Israelis don’t war with Iran?

Netanyahu and Barak have failed at the critical test – convincing Israelis that war is the only option.

Catherine Ashton and Saeed Jalili in Moscow

As Western diplomacy dithers, Iran's foreign policy chief chases Lebanese support

Aside from being a military support, Hezbollah is also a political party, which means that serving Iran's interests and inviting a devastating Israeli counterattack on Lebanese infrastructure will not win them many votes.

Ephraim Halevy

Ex-Mossad chief said what should be clear to everyone – Israel has never been so close to attacking Iran

When a former Mossad chief like Ephraim Halevy is quoted saying that for next twelve weeks, 'if I were an Iranian, I would be very worried' about and Israeli strike, we should take him at his word. If he were Iranian, he would be very worried.

An Iranian security guard stands at the Maroun Petrochemical plant at the Imam Khomeini port

Iran's latest challenge: Hiding the economic damage of Western sanctions

If Western sanctions were ineffective, as the Tehran Times would like us to believe, the governor of Iran's central bank would not need to liken sanctions to 'a military war.'

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.

There’s no difference between Romney and Obama on Iran

When you examine the likely scenarios that could play out regarding Iran, there seems very little chance of either candidate, if elected, choosing different courses of action.

Obama signs U.S.-Israel cooperation bill - Natasha Mozgovaya - July 27, 2012

Obama's Israel security bill is mainly political and mostly redundant

The United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act is mainly for political purposes – it will have little effect on the already close defense ties between the two countries.

British police officers patrol outside the London 2012 Olympic Park in Stratford.

Israel has more to fear from lone actors than Iran at the Olympics

The Sunday Times' report 'Israel Fears Iran Attack at Games' is not based on any new information, and the connection between Iranian terror and London 2012 is tenuous at best.
