#ÚltimaHora🔴 Irán recluta a niños desde los 12 años para tareas de seguridad en la guerra #Echobox=1774600499" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">elmundo.es/internacional/…




















Al Jazeera is now running the headline "The US-Israeli strategy against Iran is working." Prof. @MuhanadSeloom argues that despite what the skeptics are understandably worried about, "When you look at what has actually happened to Iran’s principal instruments of power – its ballistic missile arsenal, its nuclear infrastructure, its air defences, its navy and its proxy command architecture – the picture is not one of US failure. It is one of systematic, phased degradation of a threat that previous administrations allowed to grow for four decades." He adds, perhaps to head off the naysayers who'll write him off as a "Zionist," "I have worked for the US Department of State and advised defence and intelligence agencies in multiple countries. I have no interest in cheerleading for war. "But I have spent my academic career studying how states authorise the use of force through intelligence institutions, and what I see in the current campaign is a recognisable military operation proceeding through identifiable phases against an adversary whose capacity to project power is collapsing in real time." Prof. Seloom is right. This is a well-planned war with clear objectives. And most of the people saying otherwise are confusing what's happening in 2026 with their desire to relitigate Iraq in 2003. But more interesting than the professor's arguments is the simple fact that Al Jazeera now feels free to publish this sort of thing, that Qatar is tentatively dipping a toe into this new narrative. In other words, that Qatar now calculates that the war might just succeed. aljazeera.com/opinions/2026/…
