In 1979, the last Israelis were expelled from Iran and the new regime declared a complete severing of ties. Yet this didn't prevent Israel from selling weapons and ammunition to the ayatollahs' regime a few years later. The full details of the secret ties between the two countries may come to light if the regime in Tehran falls
Israeli officials said that they believe the U.S. will at most carry out a limited strike against Iran, which wouldn't put the regime at risk. Israel says Iran has rebuilt its missile launch capabilities and can carry out a significant strike
The protests sweeping Iran are among the largest uprisings against the ayatollahs' regime in years. This time, however, another factor is hovering over events and adding a layer of uncertainty: Donald Trump. Who might try to seize power if the Islamic Republic falls, and why does the moment feel more precarious than ever before? Haaretz explains

While U.S. President Donald Trump warned Iran over its crackdown on nationwide protests and said Washington is weighing 'very strong options' to retaliate against the regime, Iran's leaders blame the U.S. and Israel for the demonstrations turning 'violent and bloody'
Trump's recent threats to Iran alongside Netanyahu in Mar-a-lago have taken on a new dimension with the seizure of Maduro – a signal to both Tehran and Trump's anti-interventionist base of how far his administration is willing to go with adversarial regimes
As Iran grapples with internal turmoil and economic woes, and any external attempts at regime change risk further instability, Trump's harsh stance on Tehran and Venezuela highlights his selective approach to global authoritarianism, with his administration appearing to target certain regimes while ignoring others
The protests over Iran's failing economic situation show no sign of stopping, after President Trump warned Iran on Friday that if Tehran 'violently kills peaceful protesters,' the United States 'will come to their rescue'
Iranian authorities confirmed the deaths as protests over the country's economic conditions spread across Iran earlier this week, marking the most intense demonstrations since the 2022 'Woman, Life, Freedom' protests
Amwaj Media reported that Israel signaled it is not seeking to strike Iran, and Iran replied 'in a conditional and non-binding manner.' The Kremlin publicly urged restraint after Trump said Washington would back another strike to halt Iran's weapons buildup
Trump said he would back military action if Iran continued building up its nuclear capabilities. He also said he hopes to move to the next stage of the Gaza cease-fire 'quickly,' and that there 'has to be a disarmament of Hamas.' According to Trump, he and Netanyahu 'don't agree 100 percent' on West Bank policies
Israeli officials anticipate friction over Turkey's role in Gaza and beginning post-war reconstruction before Hamas has fully disarmed, as well as locating the remains of fallen hostage Ran Gvili. Netanyahu is also expected to push for U.S. pressure on Iran to halt its military advancements
The U.S. ambassador to Israel also said that, if the Europeans have not yet grasped that a nuclear Iran presents a threat to them as well, 'then they're even dumber than I sometimes think they are'
A senior US official told Fox News that if Iran ordered the Australia attack, Washington would fully support a direct Israeli counter-strike on Iranian territory.
Since the end of the 12-day war with Israel, the number of executions in Iran has reached new highs. At least 256 prisoners were executed in November alone, as the government signals that internal dissent will not be tolerated amid ongoing threats from Israel and the U.S.
The Mossad's goal in Iran is 'going in to recruit and to obtain intelligence,' former Mossad chief Yossi Cohen said in recordings Haaretz obtained of his remarks at a closed conference. He added that there's a way to normalize relations with Saudi Arabia while 'glossing over' the Palestinian issue
Over the years, Israeli embassies and missions have been targeted by terror groups acting on Iranian orders. During the Gaza and Iran war, and especially since the Israel-Iran war in June, Israel has stepped up preparations against Iranian-directed attacks on its diplomats worldwide
