Iranian citizens beg Israel and the US to complete the job, express willingness to endure harsh conditions if there is hope for a better future: “Not a single moderate in the regime, executions happen daily.”
The oppression in Iran has increased since the ceasefire began.
“Many, many people are waiting for these confrontations to resume. They are hoping for the elimination of the remaining leaders of the regime, which would have a tremendous, very tremendous effect. Their fear is that this terrible situation of repression, internet shutdowns, and daily executions will continue,” said Tehran resident, Alireza.
Concluding the interview, Alireza begged, “Help the Iranian people finish the job. The job does not end by eliminating some and leaving others.
Israel is Excluded from Iran Peace Talks
Israeli officials said that US has sidelined Israel from Iran talks, withholding updates as Trump administration negotiates directly with Tehran. Israel’s leaders are barely involved in the ceasefire negotiations between the United States and Iran. Netanyahu set three goals at the start of the war: destroy Iran’s nuclear programme, eliminate its missile programme, and topple the regime. So far, none of these objectives have been achieved. (Must Israel finish the job alone?)

Food for Thought: by Steven Shamrak
Completely different interpretations coming from Washington and Iran about “Good News”. While the US President Donald Trump is claiming progress, it remains unclear what the US and the Iran have agreed to. Iranian officials rebut almost all claims made by President Trump. Is it a delusion or deliberate unwillingness to resolve the problem and finish the job?

Israeli Arab suspect – Ahmed Fuad Abdelaziz Da’es from Tira, in central Israel – indicted for contacting Iranian intelligence officials and sending them images and information about sensitive security sites in Israel.
Not all Leftists are Anti-Semites
While the general trend in the European left these days is hatred and delegitimization of Israel at best, and blatant antisemitism at worst, at least one left-wing group appears to be taking a stand. Ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest, Austria’s Grüne Jugend, or Young Greens, group launched a campaign titled “Zero points for antisemitism.” The group pointed out a double standard in the Eurovision competition, which claims to be against discrimination, but is fine if it is against Jews or Israel.
Iron Dome Nearly 99% Effective
Israel’s Iron Dome has been nearly 99% effective against missiles from Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists and has knocked out most missiles from Iran. Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon have between them fired some 40,000 rockets at Israel. Iran has fired about 1,500 ballistic missiles at Israel in two rounds of fighting since 2024 and “only several dozens” were not intercepted.
The US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz confirmed that Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system was used to shoot down Iranian missiles targeting the United Arab Emirates. It is the first government official publicly verify that the Israeli equipment was deployed and used in the UAE during the recent fighting.
Sovereignty on the Temple Mount Restored
National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir declared that Israel had “restored sovereignty” on the Temple Mount during a Jerusalem Day visit to the holy site. Ben-Gvir has repeatedly challenged the longstanding status quo arrangement governing the Temple Mount, established after Israel captured the Old City in 1967. Under the arrangement, Israel maintains overall security control while the Jordanian-administered Islamic Waqf oversees daily administration of the compound. (Full sovereignty over ALL Jewish land must be established!)
Iran-US war latest: Rubio warns President Trump won’t be pressured into a ‘bad deal’. US President Trump said he had “looked at” Tehran’s response to a peace plan drawn up by Washington but “if I don’t like the first sentence I just throw it away”. (The same must be said about Israel’s wars against its enemies.)
Special Tribunal for Hamas October 7 Terrorists
The law, backed by the coalition and most of the opposition – passed 93-0 in the 120-seat Knesset, will establish what effectively a military court for more than 250 Hamas elite Nukhba force terrorists held in Israel since the massacre. The bill empowers a panel of judges to hand down the death penalty by a majority vote. It has drawn comparisons to the 1962 trial of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann, who was executed by hanging, the last time the death penalty was carried out in Israel. Although, technically capital punishment remains on the books for acts of genocide, espionage during wartime, and certain terror offenses.
Quote of the Week:
“Egypt demolished 7,000 buildings on its Gaza border. Displaced over 100,000 people. Sealed the only non-Israeli controlled crossing for years. Flooded the tunnels. Co-ran the blockade. No protests. No boycotts. No one calling Cairo an apartheid state.” – a FaceBook post.

As the clock ticks away toward the US President Donald Trump’s latest “negotiate or I unleash hell” deadline, the Iranian regime thinks that it’s winning.
The regime not yet defeated, but it still presents fearsome challenges. It has turned the Strait of Hormuz into a lethal weapon by choking off most of its normal shipping channels. And Israel and the United Arab Emirates are still being bombarded by missiles every day.
The stakes are enormous. If the Iranian regime isn’t totally defanged but survives to recover and rearm, it will not only continue to menace the region. That will hugely embolden China, Russia and North Korea!
The West also fails to grasp something Israel has been forced to accept for decades. The Iranian regime may be outgunned by America’s superior military might, but it can outfox it through its use of “asymmetric warfare,” which refuses to recognize the conventions of war laid down by the international community.
This means that the Iranians will not only target all such enemy lifelines but will unhesitatingly sacrifice all their own people, too.
The reason Israel survives and thrives as it does is because it is never defeatist and believes there is everything to fight or die for.
The only acceptable response to that is to redouble the effort to defeat them utterly and completely. Let’s hope Trump has come to the same conclusion.
