An attempted assassination of the Israeli PM by “agents of Iran.”  “Gallant at IAF base: After we strike in Iran, world will understand all our training,” Times of Israel, 10-23-24.  Do I have to write what this means for the Supreme Leader?

“Why Is Israel Poised to Attack Iran?,” NYT, 10-23-24.

“Hezbollah confirms death of Nasrallah’s heir apparent,” BBC, 10-23-24.  You read the headline, and then the story and really learn the connections with Iran.  The IDF said “it killed Hashem Safieddine in a strike on the southern suburbs of Beirut. …  Safieddine was head of the group’s executive council and was a cousin of its late secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli air strike on the Lebanese capital on 27 September. … Hezbollah is a military, political and social organisation that wields considerable power in Lebanon. It is designated as a terrorist organisation by Israel as well as the US, the UK and other countries. Safieddine himself was designated a “global terrorist” by the US and Saudi Arabia in 2017. He undertook religious studies in Iran and his son was married to a daughter of Gen Qasem Soleimani, the powerful Iranian Revolutionary Guards commander who was killed in a 2020 US air strike in Iraq.”
