Iran’s Navy has received its first indigenous signals-intelligence destroyer, named Zagros. The ship, delivered in a ceremony attended by senior officials, is equipped with cutting-edge electromagnetic, electronic, and cyber technology.

The Zagros enhances Iran’s naval security across critical waterways, including the Indian and Pacific Oceans, aligning with the country’s broader defense goals under Ayatollah Khamenei’s directives.

The U.S. is reportedly set to transfer the powerful 11-ton "Mother of All Bombs" (MOAB) to Israel, marking a major shift in policy amid rising tensions with Iran. This devastating non-nuclear weapon, capable of destroying deep underground facilities, could be used to target Iran’s uranium enrichment sites. Past U.S. presidents, including Bush, Obama, and Biden, denied Israel's request for the bomb, but Trump now appears to have changed course. With fears of Iran nearing nuclear weapons capability and Trump warning of severe retaliation against any Iranian threat, is the region on the brink of war?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gifted U.S. President Donald Trump a golden pager during their Washington meeting, referencing a deadly September operation targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon. The Israeli operation, which involved explosions destroying Hezbollah members' pagers and walkie-talkies, killed 37 people, including children, and injured nearly 3,000. Trump returned the gesture with a signed photograph of the two, labeling Netanyahu a “great leader.” This exchange highlights the strained geopolitical context between Israel, Lebanon, and Iran-backed militant groups.
