The Israeli Hebrew-language channel “Kan” reported on Sunday that during the war against Iran, Iranian missiles carried out very significant strikes against Israeli targets.

The channel’s foreign affairs commentator, Moav Vardi, stated that there were very important hits caused by Iranian ballistic missiles inside “Israel” that were not all made public. He added: “The matter was absorbed into the Israeli success narrative, but this weapon was indeed very effective.”

What is unfolding today in Syria, particularly the clashes between the Syrian government and the SDF in Aleppo, is not an isolated security incident. It is a pressure point in a much wider regional reordering, unfolding deliberately and at a very precise moment.

Over recent weeks, Turkey has intensified efforts to secure a role in any future international so-called "stabilization force" in Gaza. This move was framed diplomatically, but its strategic implications were clear: a Turkish presence near Zionist Israel's borders, even under an international umbrella, is unacceptable to Tel Aviv. Israel's rejection was categorical.

This rejection did not come in isolation. It coincided with two parallel tracks: first, renewed Israeli engagement with the SDF in northeastern Syria and second, a visible acceleration of Israeli strategic coordination with Greece and Greek Cyprus.

The emerging Greek, Cypriot, Israeli axis is not new, but it is now moving from energy cooperation and symbolic military exercises into a more explicit security alignment. High-level trilateral meetings have discussed missile defense coordination, regional deployment options, and the potential positioning of Israeli defense systems on Greek islands close to Turkey. This was never about Gaza alone. It is about constraining Turkey's strategic depth from the Eastern Mediterranean to northern Syria.

Against this backdrop, the instability in northeastern Syria begins to make sense.

Israel's engagement with the SDF is 100% transactional, not ideological as Israel would like the world to believe. Any support comes with expectations, primarily the ability to disrupt Syrian territorial consolidation, keep pressure near the Turkish border, and maintain leverage in a geography Israel considers critical to its northern security equation.

This is why renewed clashes between SDF and Julani gangs and accusations of agreement violations are surfacing now. A destabilized Syria, particularly near Turkey's frontier, serves multiple objectives: it limits Turkish maneuverability, delays Syrian recovery (as if it will ever be allowed to recover), and preserves Israel's freedom of action and aggression against Syria.

This brings us back to a warning repeatedly articulated over the past decade by Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrullah.

Sayyed Nasrullah consistently argued that Syria was not merely a battlefield, but a central pillar of regional balance. His message to regional and international actors was clear: weaken Syria, fragment its sovereignty, or dismantle the resistance infrastructure in the region and the fire will not stop at Damascus, nor at Beirut.
Zionist Israel, he warned, would not be satisfied with containing Lebanon or Syria; its logic is constant terrorism, expansion, deterrence through dominance, and perpetual pressure on every neighboring front.

Today, that warning appears less rhetorical and more structural.

The presence of figures like Julani, terrorists often framed as transitional or pragmatic actors when it serves the US and its allies, fits into this broader logic. Their role is not to stabilize Syria, but to manage a phase: neutralize resistance pathways, soften borders, and create permissive conditions for regional re-engineering. Once that role is exhausted, history suggests they will either be sidelined or removed.

Meanwhile, the United States watches carefully, balancing two relationships it considers vital: its strategic alliance with Israel, and its functional partnership with Turkey. Washington does not seek open confrontation between its allies, but it has consistently allowed Israel operational latitude in the form of aggressive attacks, even when that latitude contributes to long-term instability.

Reading regional events carefully opens one's eyes to clashes in Syria,as they are best understood not as a "civil dispute",but as the opening phase of a controlled, low-intensity regional confrontation. A war of positioning rather than declarations.

🇸🇦 | Saudi Arabia is quietly expanding the scope of alcohol sales.

Western media reports have revealed a new Saudi step that has been implemented quietly and without an official announcement. This step involves expanding access to the Kingdom’s only alcohol store to include non-Muslim foreign residents who hold what is known as the “Premium Residency.”

The Associated Press reported that the store, which opened in January 2024 inside the Diplomatic Quarter in the capital Riyadh, operates with relative secrecy and under strict procedures. It has reportedly seen notable demand and long waiting lines—an unprecedented development in a country that has officially banned alcohol sales since the 1950s and is home to Islam’s holiest sites.

The agency noted that this move represents an unprecedented exception, amid interpretations that view it as a prelude to broader changes related to social and religious policies. These developments are described in Western reports as part of efforts to reshape lifestyles within the Kingdom.

In the same context, Reuters reported days ago that there are Saudi plans to open two additional alcohol stores in the cities of Dhahran and Jeddah over the coming year. This has sparked widespread debate and criticism, along with growing questions about the consequences of this direction and its implications for the Kingdom’s religious and social identity, given its status as the birthplace of Islam and the land of the Two Holy Mosques.

✅ | Before the Israeli aggression against Iran on June 12, enemy media outlets were filled with leaks about a supposed rift between Trump and Netanyahu.

Even the meeting that brought the two men together prior to the strike was portrayed as tense and “not going well,” with claims that their relationship was going through a crisis.

However, the documentary “12 Days of June,” broadcast by Israel’s Channel 13 and based on cabinet meeting minutes prior to the strike, presented a different picture. Netanyahu had informed Trump during that meeting of Israel’s intention to strike Iran.

As time passed, it became clear that the noise surrounding the alleged “disagreement” before the aggression was nothing more than deliberate deception meant to conceal what was being prepared on the ground.

Today, the same pattern is repeating itself. Recently, talk has resurfaced strongly about a rift between Trump and Netanyahu, this time in the context of the targeting of Hamas leader Raed Saad, along with additional leaks about a “call from a senior official” said to have insulted Netanyahu.

From my perspective, this scene is a repetition of what happened before the June aggression, and the amplification of the Iranian missile threat is meant to justify any potential attack.

I consider the possibility of a new aggression against Iran to be likely, although this conclusion is not certain. What drives this assessment is not intention alone, but the repetition of the same pattern.

This likelihood is further reinforced by what some Israeli military analysts are writing and saying, as they treat the strike as a matter of time and focus on it targeting the missile program.

Notably, they hint at knowing the targets and timing, but use vague language, suggesting: we know what Israel will do, but we are committed to self-censorship.

Recently, statements were attributed to an “Israeli political official” (a label often used when Netanyahu does not want to speak under his own name) saying that Israel must work with the United States to overthrow the Iranian regime during Trump’s presidency.

Here lies the essence of what Israel wants. Tel Aviv understands that striking the nuclear project or the missile program alone is not sufficient to “remove the threat,” and that what it considers the existential danger is the regime itself and its political will.

Therefore, it sees regime change as the shortest path and seeks to exploit the American political moment to achieve this goal.

Netanyahu’s visit to the United States to meet the American president during the holiday period is unusual and indicates the importance of the meeting, as well as the fact that the issue to be discussed is larger than Lebanon or Gaza. Otherwise, the meeting could have been postponed until after the Christmas holidays. However, Netanyahu appears to believe he has a limited window of opportunity that he must take advantage of.

Ref. the alleged rift between Trump and Netanyahu leading up to the 12 day aggression against Iran. Some who were paying attention to the direction of travel of US/Zio policy dismissed it immediately as the deception it was - many others fell for the latest diversion from the bigger picture and allowed themselves to fall for the most ridiculous analysis being peddled by influencers and Trumptards. Let this be a lesson, the US is wedded to Zionist expansionism and while they may have low grade disagreements, ultimately they are partnered for the life of their unholy agenda to subjugate the independent peoples of this world to their neo-feudalist plans. Be bigger than the white noise at social media and legacy media level. It is irrelevant.

☑️ | The Americans are now actively engineering tensions for Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and other Gulf states, and the signs are increasingly clear that the days of unchecked Gulf and Turkish maneuvering are nearing their end. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are already locked in a quiet but intensifying struggle in Yemen over control of its wealth and strategic resources. As reported by the American newspaper The Cradle, Gulf princes are competing for hegemony, testing the limits of American oversight while reshaping alliances purely around their own interests. Behind formal smiles, pleasantries, and handshakes, a silent war of influence between Riyadh and Abu Dhabi has been steadily escalating and is now emerging openly. What began nearly nine years ago as a personal friendship between Mohammed bin Salman and Mohammed bin Zayed has transformed into a contest for dominance and an attempt to fill the vacuum created by the decline of American influence in the region. This rivalry has moved beyond diplomatic tension and entered the realm of military maneuvering: the UAE expanded its footprint in Sudan by backing the Rapid Support Forces, exploiting political and security vacuums and directly threatening Saudi interests. As risks mounted, Riyadh turned back to Washington, with bin Salman seeking intervention from Donald Trump to end the conflict, only for Abu Dhabi to respond indirectly through Yemen by striking Saudi spheres of influence and seizing control of Hadramout, marking a major geopolitical shift. Saudi reactions remained slow and limited, focused on containment through negotiations with the Southern Transitional Council and reinforcement of military positions, yet these efforts failed to halt the Emirati advance into Mahra, Aden, Shabwa, and other southern regions. At the same time, news of an emerging alignment between the Israeli entity, Cyprus, and Greece against Turkey, alongside Israeli infiltrations into the countryside of Damascus, clashes in Aleppo and east of the Euphrates, and renewed calls for the division of Syria, all point to a broader regional unraveling. In moments like these, one cannot help but recall how repeatedly Imam Khamenei warned that if the axis of resistance is weakened, all will eventually pay the price.

🇸🇦 | America stabs Saudi Arabia in the back and prioritizes Emirati interests.

Pro-coalition media sources have revealed American involvement in supporting the separatist moves of the Southern Transitional Council in southern Yemen.

According to these sources, on Sunday the United States halted Saudi aircraft that were on the verge of carrying out airstrikes against positions and camps of the Emirati-backed Transitional Council forces in Hadramout province. While the sources did not disclose the specific reasons behind this decision, the move clearly indicates an American green light for the UAE to proceed with its southern Yemen secession project—even at the expense of its Saudi ally.

This represents an explicit American stab in the back of the largest state that has long served Washington’s interests in the region. These revelations further confirm the reality of the American-Zionist approach of reshuffling and pitting its proxies against one another to ignite instability in Yemen, paving the way for a new war on Sana’a in response to its support for Gaza.
