Israel’s covert campaign to disrupt Iran’s nuclear program has rattled the Iranian leadership, resulting in a significant housecleaning in the intelligence division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the elite branch of the armed forces.

The magnificent resistance of the Ukrainian people has drawn the admiration of the whole world but we must have no illusions.
