America Attacks Iran Part 2 (of a 3 Part Series)

The story continues from Part 1

Asymmetric Warfare Redefined?

In the early hours of June 1, 2025, Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) executed Operation Spider web, an audacious drone assault on Russian airfields that destroyed or damaged a number of Russia’s most prized aircraft, including possibly two A-50 early-warning planes and as many as a dozen strategic bombers. Drones, smuggled into Russia over 18 months and concealed in remote-controlled containers, were launched from within Russian territory, catching Moscow’s defenses off guard. Just days later, on June 13, 2025, the  Mossad orchestrated a similarly bold strike, dubbed Rising Lion, targeting Iran’s nuclear and missile programs. Mossad agents, operating covertly within Iran, established drone bases near Tehran and smuggled precision weapons to dismantle air defenses and eliminate key figures, including Revolutionary Guards commanders and at least one senior nuclear scientist. Allow me to emphasize, the drone attacks came from within Russia and from within Iran. These operations quite possibly signal a new era of warfare: patient, subversive infiltration by committed adversaries willing to play the long game. Even for those who pay little attention to such things, it is hard to miss that Ukraine’s Operation Spider web and Israel’s Rising Lion represent a paradigm shift in modern conflict. Rather than relying on conventional military power, both operations leveraged covert infiltration, advanced—though not restricted—technology, and strategic patience to strike deep within enemy territory. Ukraine’s drones, assembled and concealed over months, targeted a multi-billion-dollar air fleet with low-cost, commercially adapted unmanned systems. The SBU’s operation—smuggling drones across borders and hiding them in plain sight—demonstrated how irregular tactics can cripple a nation’s strategic power.Similarly, Mossad spent (likely) years infiltrating Iran to set up drone bases and move munitions into position, striking at the heart of Tehran’s nuclear program and eliminating critical personnel. These operations reveal the growing effectiveness of a new asymmetric warfare, where smaller actors, with a little creativity, can exploit the vulnerabilities of larger adversaries, potentially for dimes on the dollar. Drones costing mere thousands, or even less, can now challenge systems worth billions. To complicate things further, drones can be deployed en masse. Online videos of Chinese drone light shows are something to see—single controllers managing 10,000 or more small drones in remarkable displays of precision and agility. It’s not hard to imagine what creative military planners could come up with using such systems.

Besides drones being employed in the two operations, there was a common thread of time. Both Ukraine and Israel invested significant time in planning, exploiting weak internal security, and insider access. Ukraine’s drones were smuggled incrementally and hidden in trucks and shipping crates. Mossad’s operatives reportedly worked under the nose of Iranian intelligence, using civilian vehicles to transport weapons and establish covert launch sites. These examples reveal a chilling truth: a patient adversary embedded on a target’s soil can strike with devastating precision. During the Israeli war on Iran, Iranian security and intelligence agencies arrested 700 individuals suspected of collaborating with the Mossad, marking one of the most extensive internal security actions undertaken by Iran in recent years. Among the key sabotage activities attributed to the arrested individuals were the direction and deployment of small and suicide drones, the manufacturing of hand grenades, filming of sensitive military sites, and the transmission of critical information to the Israeli occupation army.  These seizures were part of broader operations to dismantle Mossad-affiliated networks operating within Iranian territory. Among the key sabotage activities attributed to the arrested individuals were the direction and deployment of small and suicide drones, the manufacturing of hand grenades, filming of sensitive military sites, and the transmission of critical information to the Israeli occupation army. Since the attack, Iran’s internal intelligence has been working overtime. It has caught 1000s of spies, etc. in the country, discovered tons of equipment (drones, arms, com equipment, and so on. Many of these have been executed. In addition, Iran has millions of refuges from neighboring countries. Over the past month, more than 700,000 refugees have been expelled. This was done in the bid to reduce the ranks of potential spies in the country.

A month after the 12-day war ended, officials in Iran are increasingly concerned that Israeli intelligence may be engaged in covert sabotage operations on Iranian soil. Iran has for over two weeks been experiencing a wave of unexplained fires and explosions, occurring almost daily, and sometimes multiple times a day. “For more than two weeks, mysterious explosions and fires have erupted across Iran, setting ablaze apartment complexes and oil refineries, a road outside a major airport and even a shoe factory. Some believe these are Israeli-sponsored operations aimed at dialing up the pressure on Iranian leadership, even as the ceasefire holds. This doesn’t mean these operations were done directly by Israeli officers, instead it’s believed that Mossad has a network of Iranian assets, particularly among the outlawed People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (MEK) – which is currently based in Europe and has long sought to topple the Islamic Republic. The MEK has also long enjoyed the political backing of powerful US officials, and is known have conducted assassinations of Iranian figures in the past. Some MEK members are Iranian citizens, which would allow them ease of getting in and out of the country – something Israelis could not do.

4 The “Samson Option” Explained

Named after the biblical figure Samson—who brought down a temple, killing himself and his enemies—the doctrine has long been rumored but never officially acknowledged by Israeli authorities. It’s understood by some defense analysts as a form of extreme nuclear deterrence, aimed at preventing any coalition from attempting to eliminate the Israeli state. “This is not traditional deterrence,” said one senior NATO defense advisor speaking on background. “It resembles a diplomatic suicide vest. If the files are real, it shows Israel is prepared to take the rest of the world down with it in the event of existential collapse.”  Privately, U.S. and European intelligence services are treating the leak as credible enough to warrant internal reviews. “Even the possibility that allied capitals are on an allied nuclear target list is deeply disturbing,” said a European diplomat under condition of anonymity. A trove of documents released this week, appears to confirm long-speculated claims about Israel’s “Samson Option”—a last-resort nuclear strategy to destroy the world if Israeli existence is threatened. In fact, most of Israel’s nukes are aimed at the West, Russia and China. It sees these three as its most dangerous opponents. We have written about this fact many times in our articles, but recent information CONFIRMS this point.

The files were reportedly released by Iranian cyber operatives and are currently being examined by multiple Western intelligence agencies. If authenticated, the materials could have profound implications for global diplomacy and nuclear stability. According to security analysts who have reviewed the leaked documents, cities identified in the alleged target list include New York, Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, and the NORAD command center in Colorado. Among the most alarming revelations: a list of nuclear targets that includes major cities in the United States and Europe. Also named are Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Moscow, Beijing and Tehran. The documents outline a doctrine of “mutual destruction not limited to direct aggressors,” implying that nations deemed complicit or passively supportive of Israel’s hypothetical demise could also be targeted.

 “In all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are targets for our air force…. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.” Since its inception, Israel has often behaved like a reckless force, a diabolical entity, and there is little doubt that it would target America if its own survival were at stake. Its guiding ideology can rightly be described as Satanic, as Israel has repeatedly shown a willingness to disregard moral or legal boundaries to achieve its goals.

5 Lessons from War

Both sides recalibrate as the Iran–Israel war enters a new phase. Last month’s ceasefire marked not an end to hostilities, but a shift into a more dangerous, ambiguous phase of the conflict between Tehran and Tel Aviv. Both sides are recalibrating strategies, but the war – covert, cyber, and psychological – is far from over. The June 2025 12-day war between Iran and the Israeli occupation state tore through decades of covert strikes, red lines, and foreign-managed restraint. In less than two weeks, Iran’s missiles reached Tel Aviv, and Israeli jets struck deep into Iranian territory, essentially transforming what had long simmered into a direct and public war. The so-called ceasefire that followed was not a breakthrough, but a breather. Both sides are now repositioning for a long confrontation that will span the region, redraw alliances, and test the limits of US dominance in West Asia.Iran’s policy remains a point of friction between Tel Aviv and Washington. Trump, increasingly cautious about further regional entanglements, pressing for a far more confrontational approach – one that seeks to accelerate in the Islamic Republic. Leaks from the Netanyahu–Trump meetings point to this as meetings became heated.  This divide reflects more than tactical disagreements, signaling opposing political endgames. For Trump, diplomacy is a tool to manage escalation. For Netanyahu, confrontation is the strategy itself. Tel Aviv demands capitulation rather than containment. 

The 12-day war marked the first extended direct military confrontation between Iran and the occupation state. While previous encounters relied on intelligence warfare and proxy clashes, this conflict escalated into full-scale missile and drone exchanges. Israeli airstrikes targeted nuclear facilities and critical infrastructure deep inside Iran. Meanwhile, Iranian ballistic missiles and drones penetrated Israeli airspace, hitting including in Tel Aviv. The war shattered long-held assumptions. Iran struck the – Al-Udeid base in Qatar – signaling its willingness to hit Washington directly in response to US strikes on several Iranian nuclear facilities.  The US, for its part, flexed its capacity to engage Iran militarily, but stopped short of prolonged conflict. Both sides aimed to demonstrate capability and resolve without crossing the threshold into full-blown war.  “War becomes less likely as the costs of war rise in relation to possible gains “, helps explain why the US backed off. Tehran made clear that a wider American attack would be met with regional retaliation, threatening US bases and US troops. This reality informed Trump’s pivot to diplomacy. Three critical lessons emerged: 

1. Israel’s limits

Despite initial success, including precision strikes enabled by Mossad’s deep infiltration of Iranian intelligence, Israel failed to cripple Iran’s nuclear program. Iran exposed the weaknesses of Israel’s much-touted multi-layered missile defense. A sustained missile barrage overwhelmed the Iron Dome and its counterparts, proving that Tel Aviv cannot strike with impunity.

2. Iran’s vulnerabilities 

Tehran, too, identified weaknesses – particularly in air defense and internal security. Iran is now expected to expedite its acquisition of advanced Russian and Chinese air defense systems and internal security and  tighten internal counter-intelligence, and bolster the resilience of its missile systems.

3. Washington’s red lines 

The war reminded Israeli leaders that American political and military support – or its withdrawal – could determine how far Israel would go against Iran. After assisting Israel in striking Iranian nuclear facilities, Trump effectively bought himself a “soft exit” by declaring the mission accomplished and pushing for a ceasefire.

Tel Aviv’s Long War Strategy

Post-ceasefire, Israel’s strategic objective remains constant: undermine Iran’s rise, thwart its nuclear and regional ambitions, and foster conditions for internal collapse. But Tel Aviv knows another major war could backfire. Thus, covert operations are once again front and center. Mossad’s wartime senior Iranian scientists demonstrate the scale and precision of these efforts. Cyber sabotage, too, has intensified, with operations designed to sow fear and uncertainty within Iranian institutions. Tehran’s post-war – including hundreds of espionage arrests – suggests awareness of the growing threat. Airstrikes may also resume sporadically, mimicking the “approach used against Hamas and Hezbollah. These are calibrated to destroy rebuilt infrastructure while avoiding all-out war. Yet, each strike risks retaliation and wider escalation, especially if US red lines are crossed. Cyber warfare, with its deniability and disruptive power, is an increasingly central pillar. But it is a double-edged sword: Iran’s growing cyber arsenal, during and after the war, threatens critical Israeli systems. Tel Aviv may also invest in stirring internal unrest inside Iran. This includes bolstering opposition groups and exploiting ethnic tensions in restive provinces like Ahvaz, Baluchistan, Western Kurdistan, and Azeri-majority areas. However, the war temporarily unified Iranian society around the state, limiting the effectiveness of these schemes. The occupation state aims to prolong the confrontation without triggering a regional conflagration – bleeding Iran slowly through assassinations, cyber strikes, and psychological warfare.  The goal is not victory through battle, but collapse through exhaustion akin to ‘grind down Iran’s defenses, unravel its alliances, and wait for the pressure to fracture the state from within.

Tehran Adapts

For Iran, the war served as a wake-up call. The post-ceasefire phase is not peace, but rearmament and recalibration. While Tehran lacks Israel’s intelligence footprint in occupied Palestine, it has other tools.

Domestically, Iran  has intensified its crackdown on infiltration with over 700 espionage arrests, six Mossad agents executed, and  imposing the death penalty for aiding the occupation state, the US, and their allies as tantamount to “corruption on earth.” The Iranian nation is fortifying itself. In cyberspace, Iran’s arsenal is becoming formidable. Thousands of hacked Israeli documents, data leaks on Israeli soldiers, sabotage of radar and surveillance systems, and cyber-attacks on critical infrastructure marked a qualitative leap. Tehran can now strike deep inside Israel without launching a single missile. Regionally, Iran will lean into the familiar territory of asymmetric deterrence. This includes backing resistance allies in Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen, enhancing missile accuracy and air defenses, and continuing cyber pressure. Tehran’s aim is to raise the cost of Israeli aggression while avoiding direct escalation – until it is ready. The war has shifted from overt confrontation to a battle of attrition and intelligence. Neither side has emerged victorious. But both are preparing for the next round.

6  Once Israel Defeats Iran, Pakistan is next

Pakistan breaks ranks, backs Iran in war with Israel.  Pakistan reveals that Israeli drone operators attempted to sabotage Pakistan’s nuclear facilities during the India-Pakistan crisis in May. “Israeli drone operators were stationed in Indian operation rooms during the recent Pakistan–India conflict, trying to target Pakistan’s nuclear facilities. However, prompt action from Pakistan thwarted their efforts, preventing them from causing any damage to the nuclear assets of Pakistan.” Islamabad has quietly warned Washington of a potential nuclear escalation should Israel attack Iran with such weapons. “If such a situation arises, it will spill beyond Iran. The region will enter a new, unpredictable security phase,” the source states.  This is a major reason why Islamabad is throwing its full weight behind Tehran in the Israel-Iran war. Despite Islamabad’s official denials of providing military or material support to Iran in its confrontation with Israel, recent developments suggest a dramatic shift in regional alignments. Today, Pakistan and China appear to be coordinating closely with Tehran, offering tangible strategic advantages as Tel Aviv escalates its hostilities.

As war clouds gathered, Iranian FM Araghchi held urgent with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi on 14 June. That same day, Pezeshkian spoke with Pakistani PM Sharif, who expressed Islamabad’s “resolute solidarity” with Iran. He also added that the country “stands firmly with the Iranian people in this critical hour.” In the immediate aftermath, reports emerged of Pakistani military delegations arriving in Tehran amid the hostilities.  Similarly, Beijing reportedly green lit the transfer of its BeiDou Navigation Satellite System technology to Iran, formalized in a new bilateral MoU – an upgrade that dramatically enhanced the precision of Iranian missile strikes. Beijing’s embrace of Iran is grounded in energy security and strategic depth instead. Its ambitious, multi-trillion dollar Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) aimed at linking the Eurasian landmass hinges on the stability of Tehran and Islamabad, with the Gwadar and Tabaha ports forming key arteries in China’s westward expansion. China also supplies J-10 fighter jets and HQ‑9 air‑defense systems to Pakistan, which played key roles in the extraordinary between India and Pakistan – marking major testing ground for Chinese weapons. A parallel circumstance is present in Iran. “The enemy of my friend is my enemy” may well define the new tripartite logic binding Iran, Pakistan, and China in resistance to Israeli and western designs. Tel Aviv’s recent strikes on Iranian military and nuclear infrastructure mark a new phase in a decades-long western strategy aimed at dismantling Muslim powers resistant to colonial domination. Iraq, Syria, and Libya – all were destabilized under similar pretexts. This plan conceived by the US, its European allies, and Israel, has entered its second phase, targeting Iran initially and Pakistan subsequently.

Islamabad perceives itself as under coordinated pressure from the US, India, and Israel.

“The Pakistani security elite perceive that the US and its counter-proliferation regime are imposing penalties on Pakistan, although it was India that brought the nuclear issue to South Asia. “There exists a structural perception in Rawalpindi that the US, along with its allies India and Israel, is targeting Pakistan’s nuclear program. Nonetheless, it remains uncertain how Pakistan will handle the situation. Certainly, increased investment in air defense systems, enhanced domestic intelligence capabilities, and strengthening the air force with next-generation J-35 stealth fighters are all essential to take on any possible Israeli actions.” While Islamabad has offered no formal commitment of military aid to Tehran, Iranian is now rallying around Pakistan with chants of “Pakistan Zindabad.” Diplomatically, Islamabad has Tehran’s call for a UN Security Council session on Israeli aggression and explicitly defended Iran’s right to self-defense. Alongside Algeria, China, and Russia, Pakistan played a key role in amplifying Iran’s initiative, marking a coordinated diplomatic front that signals a deeper convergence within the Eurasian bloc. This is no small gesture from a country once considered a possible target of Israel’s preemptive doctrine. In a move that exposes Washington’s alarm, Pakistan’s army chief, Field Marshal Asim Munir, was seen the US Central Command headquarters in Florida. Whether Munir’s US visit results in a recalibration or further consolidation of Islamabad’s alignment with Tehran and Beijing remains uncertain. Following the recent Iran-Israel flare-up, Pakistani army chief Asim Munir met US President Donald Trump – an encounter that raised more questions than it answered. Was it a charm offensive? A warning? A recalibration? Whatever the answer, it underscored Pakistan’s uncertain place in the world: simultaneously courted and condemned, needed and distrusted.

 But one thing is clear: Pakistan is no longer sitting on the fence.  Israel has identified Pakistan as the next target of Israel’s de-nuclearization campaign. The Zionist Project needs to expand by taking over its Muslim neighbors, and that these neighbors must not have nuclear power- which would deter Zionist expansion.

India’s attack on Pakistan is a declaration of Israel-style Expansionism

 The 12-day war between Israel and Iran is over but this war exposed the plans of a new war by Israel and India against Pakistan. This threat of a new war is not just a flight of imagination. Today we can share some evidence with you about the secret plans of Israel and India against Pakistan.

Pakistan began its journey to a nuclear power started in the mid-1970s. In October 1990, the US imposed sanctions on Pakistan over its nuclear program. By the late 1980s, Israel began plans to bomb Pakistan’s nuclear sites. Indira Gandhi gave permission for Israel to launch its attack on Pakistan, using an Indian base in Gujarat state (that name again).The CIA found out about it, and stopped Israel- telling London not to do it as their hands are full dealing with the impending implosion of the Soviet Union. There are several other similar cases where Israel, using India as cover, planned to strike Pakistan. It is no longer a secret that   Modi and Netanyahu are brothers in arms.  In 2017, Modi became the first Indian prime minister to visit Israel. His Hindutva ideology draws inspiration from Zionism. Many Hindu nationalists have openly called for an Israel-like solution to resolve the Kashmir conflict. India is quietly purchasing a lot of weapons not only from Israel but also from many Western countries after its defeat by Pakistan in May 2025. Now the Indian establishment is desperate to take revenge on Pakistan with the help of Israel. Many Israelis are angry about why Pakistan openly supported Iran during the recent 12-day war.  Israel and US plans after neutralizing Iran, is that Pakistan will become the primary target of Israeli efforts. An air attack, cruise missile or drone attack using India as a base would inflict severe damage on Pakistan’s nuclear facilities. The possibility of coinciding the air attack with a conventional Indian military attack to Balkanize Pakistan into Sindh and Punjab and takeover of Azad Kashmir by India, cutting off Chinese access to the Indian Ocean. It means that India and Israel want to disconnect China from Gwadar port.

Now look at the recent arms trade between India and Israel. Many Israeli arms companies have established factories in India and produce not only missiles but also Israeli drones. Adani Group entered into a joint venture with Israel’s Elbit Systems in 2018 to manufacture military drones such as Hermes 900 UAV. Adani built a factory in Hyderabad, India, and made 85% of the drones only for Israel.  Israel used these drones from Lebanon to Gaza. Israel successfully tested these Hermes 900 drones in the recent war against Iran. India used the same drones against Pakistan in May 2025 but these drones were neutralized by Pakistan. Adani holds a 70% stake in Haifa port which was destroyed by Iran in the recent missile attacks. India and Israel can make big plans against Pakistan but they must realize that Pakistan is not Lebanon or Gaza or even Iran. This love affair between New Delhi and Tel Aviv may cause another humiliation for Modi who is now famous as Surrender Modi.  The Pakistan Air Force humiliated the Indian Air Force in May 2025 by shooting down its seven planes including four Rafael jets. The Air Defense System of Pakistan is much better than the Iranians. Pakistani ballistic missiles are more dangerous and effective than Iranian ballistic missiles. In the recent Israel-Iran war, Pakistan stood by Iran and India stood by Israel. India never endorsed an SCO statement against the Israeli attack on Iran. India is supporting genocide in Gaza because supporting Israel is the national interest of India. Modi is planning to attack Pakistan with the help of Israel because India wants to turn Kashmir into another Gaza. Modi is actually living in a fool’s paradise. He needs a victory against Pakistan. War against Pakistan or genocide in Kashmir is becoming his political requirement. He is forgetting one thing. This is not 1971. This is 2025. Pakistan will not allow India and Israel to turn Kashmir into another Gaza. Modi and Netanyahu should stop dreaming of denuclearizing Pakistan. They must understand that Pakistan’s Shaheen-III missiles with a range of 2,750km are enough to denuclearize not only India but also Israel.India can win a war against Pakistan in a Bollywood movie but no more can win a war in reality.

7 Pakistan’s Firm Support for Iran

Pakistan has assured Iran that if Israel uses nuclear weapons, Pakistan will retaliate with nuclear strikes as well. “Pakistan has told us that if Israel uses nuclear missiles, we will also attack it with nuclear weapons,” Rezaei, a senior IRGC official said during an interview on Iranian state television. Pakistan’s Shaheen-3 missile can strike targets as far as 2,700 kilometers, giving Pakistan the capability to target any region in Israel. Its deployment has not been commented by the Pakistani military but Shaheen-III is currently deemed as operational in the strategic command of Pakistan army. Pakistan has expressed firm solidarity with Iran following Israeli attacks. Pakistan’s defense minister speaking in the National Assembly on June 14, called for Muslim nations to unite against Israel, warning that Israel’s aggression targets not only Iran but also Yemen and Palestine, and that failure to unite would leave all Muslim countries vulnerable to similar attacks.For decades, Netanyahu has warned of Muslim countries gaining nuclear capabilities. Iraq and Libya   was bombed.  Syria was disarmed. Iran is being strangled.  For once, give Bibi credit: he says the quiet part out loud.

And Pakistan? That’s the final frontier – not because it has invaded anyone, but because it represents strategic, ideological and technological defiance of western and Zionist hegemony. The West no longer needs tanks or UN resolutions. The playbook has evolved. Today, sovereignty is overthrown via headlines, economic chokeholds and narrative warfare.

Yet, in much of the British and western media, India remains the adult in the room – the rational actor, the democratic beacon. The hypocrisy would be laughable if it weren’t so dangerous. Consider the events of this past April, following the tragic attack on Hindu pilgrims. India, without presenting credible evidence of Pakistani involvement, launched cross-border military action. Western media outlets largely accepted New Delhi’s narrative at face value. Pakistani officials, meanwhile, were made to answer for the specter of terrorism – a framing that has become depressingly routine. There is an unspoken but unmistakable logic here: Hindu nationalism, no matter how violent, is framed as a political choice – perhaps regrettable, but legitimate. Muslim politics, even when nowhere near power, are treated as an existential threat. By refusing to hold India to the same standard, western media reinforces a regional imbalance in which Pakistan is the perpetual provocateur, and India – despite its authoritarian bent – gets a free pass.

It’s not just Pakistan’s nukes that provoke anxiety. It’s Pakistan’s orientation. As Islamabad deepens its ties with Beijing – especially via the CPEC – it shifts from postcolonial dependency to multipolar defiance. All roads in the 21st century lead to Beijing. The US knows it. Britain knows it. Israel knows it. And Pakistan’s centrality to the New Silk Road transforms it from a regional irritant into a global pivot. The West’s problem with Pakistan is not what it’s done. It’s what it represents: an Islamic republic, a nuclear power, and an ally of China. In today’s world order, that trifecta is the ultimate red line.
