Iran and Israel entered into a new phase of their shadow war over the nuclear arms program of the Islamic Republic and its attempt to expand Tehran’s influence across the Middle East.
It is well known that Israel launched more than 1,000 airstrikes on Iranian weapons transports to proxies in Syria in order to prevent the further build-up of an anti-Israel force under the banner of the “Golan Liberation Brigade.”
This campaign has so far prevented the Iranians from getting a solid foothold on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, but the story doesn’t end there. The Iranians now use an Afghan militia to cobble together a giant force that seems to be preparing for conflict with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in the near future.

The Israeli government is concerned about the policy of President Joe Biden’s new US administration toward Iran and its allies. As we will see, these concerns are justified as Iran continues to engage in illegal activities and destabilizing actions in the Middle East.
Biden last week addressed fellow world leaders attending a virtual gathering of the Munich Security Conference. He spoke briefly about Iran and reiterated his intention to return of the United States to the
Joint Comprehensive Plan Of Action (JCPOA), the nuclear deal between Iran and five world powers (P5), including three European ones, namely: Great Britain, Germany and France.
