Spotlight: Israel and Iran, This is War
Israel has struck deep into the heart of the Islamic Republic of Iran, damaging or destroying nuclear facilities and air defenses and eliminating senior military officers. The initial strikes were more successful than many anticipated. Continuing Israeli actions are targeting any remaining offensive weaponry and leadership.
Iran has responded with ballistic missiles, several of which caused casualties when they hit urban centers. While the capabilities of Iran’s remaining arsenal are not known, its degradation by ongoing Israeli strikes appears to have limited its capacity to mount a significant response.

Middle East Forum Observer
Founded in 2024, the Observer provides rapid analysis on leading Middle East developments, from Marrakech to Mashhad and the Bab el-Mandeb to the Black Sea.
Launched in 2006, Islamist Watch is a project of the Middle East Forum. We work to combat the ideas and institutions of lawful Islamism in the United States and throughout the West. Arguing that “radical Islam is the problem, moderate Islam is the solution,” we seek to expose the Islamist organizations that currently dominate the debate, while identifying and promoting the work of moderate Muslims.
CAMPUS WATCH, a project of the Middle East Forum, reviews and critiques Middle East studies in North America with an aim to improving them. The project mainly addresses five problems: analytical failures, the mixing of politics with scholarship, intolerance of alternative views, apologetics, and the abuse of power over students. Campus Watch fully respects the freedom of speech of those it debates while insisting on its own freedom to comment on their words and deeds.
