After the ceasefire, we should not forget that Iran’s regime is a threat to everyone
July 3, 2025 | Alana Schetzer
For those who have forgotten 2022 or simply believe the Iranian regime is somehow virtuous because they do not like its enemies, it’s important to remember what this regime actually is and what it does. Iran, the region, and the world would be a significantly better, safer places without it.
A ceasefire – but will the fire actually cease?

The campaign was undoubtedly an incredible achievement by Israel, which has lived under the nightmarish shadow of a potentially nuclear-armed Iran, dedicated to the Jewish state’s destruction, for decades. But… Iran has already sworn it will resume its illegal nuclear efforts – even as Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamanei surreally insists that Iran won a great victory.

The Albanese Government’s belated and begrudging support for the US strikes on Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan on Saturday reflected the discomfort of many Western governments at US President Trump’s direct military involvement.

While the world is focused right now on Iran, it’s important to remember the war in Gaza continues. On Sunday, Israeli security forces recovered the bodies of three more hostages…
Questions over the legitimacy of the US-Israeli attack on Iran fail to grasp the threat — and the opportunity

There was also substantial evidence supporting the imminence of an Iranian threat. Recently released intelligence suggested that Tehran was accelerating its weaponisation of highly enriched uranium and restocking thousands of new ballistic missiles.
A critical first step to stability
June 23, 2025 | Colin Rubenstein
The US intervention provides much greater confidence that Iran, a regime committed to dominating and destabilising its neighbours, international terrorism, and destroying Israel – and that was illegally trying to build nuclear weapons to facilitate all three objectives – is about to be thoroughly defanged.
Three reasons Israel decided to act against Iran now
June 20, 2025 | Allon Lee
IAEA reports say that Iran now possesses enough 60% enriched uranium to produce the cores of between nine and ten nuclear warheads in less than two weeks. Iran is the only non-nuclear weapon state to have ever enriched uranium to this level – an enrichment level with no legitimate civilian use.
Gaza, hunger and Jewish tradition

The Israeli Government’s controversial policies regarding aid fortunately appear to be working – Hamas is certainly desperate to stop the GFH food distribution and reports say it is in dire straits without the looted aid flows. Yet these policies have seen Israel’s reputation badly damaged.

According to Israeli intelligence, in recent weeks Iran had secretly begun working on developing all the components of a nuclear warhead and therefore had crossed the final red line and triggered the last-ditch option Israel had set for itself: to bomb Iran’s nuclear sites and other affiliated targets.
World a safer place if Iran doesn’t have nukes
June 18, 2025 | Oved Lobel
The most recent IAEA report in June said Iran had accumulated more than 400kg of 60% enriched uranium, an increase of nearly 50% since the IAEA’s February assessment and potentially enough for at least nine nuclear weapons. There’s no civilian use for such material…
Israel’s attack on Iran: The nuclear ‘point of no return’ and the operational window
June 17, 2025 | Ran Porat
Israel has taken a tremendous risk, aiming to place the final stamp on a dramatic shift in the regional balance of power. For this to happen, a diplomatic “end game” in the form of an agreement that eliminates Iran’s capacity to destabilise the region must follow the military campaign.
