⚠️ IDF CHIEF EYAL ZAMIR ORDERS HEIGHTENED WAR READINESS AGAINST IRAN, REVIEWS MULTI-ARENA OFFENSIVE SCENARIOS AND NATIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEFENSE

🛡️ IDF Readiness Assessment and Warning: IDF Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir said the military is in a “period of improving readiness for war” amid ongoing tensions with Iran. Speaking at a conference with senior officers, he said the IDF must draw lessons from the events of October 7, strengthen defensive posture, and remain prepared for a sequence of offensive actions across all theaters of war.

Zamir said the IDF is preparing for a number of possible scenarios and must remain on constant alert. He stressed the need to be ready for decisive victory in a multi-front war, noting that future operations may involve coordinated actions in several arenas rather than isolated engagements.

The Chief of Staff convened a senior commanders’ conference to review recent divisional operational exercises conducted across multiple sectors. The forum included regional commanders, corps heads, and all division commanders and marked the first comprehensive review conference of its kind in three years.

Discussions focused on operational learning, lesson extraction, and force development. Commanders reviewed insights related to command and control, mobility, effectiveness, and overall divisional readiness across all operational theaters, with a central reference scenario emphasizing the risk of a large-scale raid or a surprise war.

Zamir underscored the importance of sustained high alertness and continuous, integrative learning between divisions, regional commands, and the General Staff. He said learning, lesson implementation, and training are foundational to professionalism and to strengthening both defensive and offensive capabilities in preparation for a multi-front war.

THE IRAN–U.S. CONFRONTATION WON’T START IN IRAN — AND ISRAEL MAY FACE STRONG INCENTIVES TO MOVE FIRST

The coming confrontation between Iran and the United States is often framed as a binary moment: Washington acts or holds back; Tehran retaliates or absorbs the pressure. This framing is simple, accessible, and largely misleading. If escalation occurs, it is unlikely to unfold as a conventional state-to-state conflict, and it is unlikely to begin where many observers expect. Instead, escalation would most likely emerge as a system-level event—an activation of Iran’s regional proxy architecture—designed to distribute risk, externalize damage, and preserve regime survival. Within that system, Israel is not a peripheral actor but a forward pressure point where consequences are most likely to manifest first. As the region moved into late December and early January, intelligence indicators suggested that Israel was preparing for a significant military campaign in southern Lebanon, extending south of the Litani River and potentially beyond it. According to this assessment, the campaign ...

🚨 SHABBAT EMERGENCY ALERT GUIDANCE FOR LONG-RANGE MISSILE THREATS TO ISRAEL

🪖 IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said there are no changes to the Home Front Command’s instructions for the Israeli public, despite ongoing tensions with Iran. “Ahead of the Sabbath, I want to say to all citizens of Israel: the IDF is optimally prepared, both defensively and offensively. It is important to emphasize that there is no change to the Home Front Command’s instructions. We will ensure to update you if there is any change,” he said. 🛡️ Home Front Command status: Home Front Command instructions remain unchanged at this time as noted. In long-range missile scenarios originating from Yemen or Iran, missiles travel roughly 1,600–2,000 kilometers, and early alerts may be issued several minutes before impact, ahead of the standard red alert siren. ⏱️ Warning time differences: Unlike short-range rocket fire from Gaza or Lebanon, where red alerts typically provide about 15 seconds to 1.5 minutes to reach shelter, long-range missile threats involve earlier notific...

⚠️ U.S. FORCES POSITION NAVAL AND AIR POWER WITHIN STRIKE RANGE OF IRAN AS ISRAEL EXTENDS RESERVE CALL-UP AND IRAN CARRIES OUT REPORTED PROTEST EXECUTION

‼️ U.S. naval and air posture near Iran: The USS Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group has moved into the eastern Arabian Sea and is preparing to enter the Gulf of Oman, placing U.S. naval airpower within direct strike range of Iran. Carrier-based F-35C Lightning II and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft, supported by aerial refueling, are assessed as able to reach deep into Iranian territory, including nuclear and missile-related sites. The carrier is assessed to be operating roughly 600–1,600 miles from Tehran. The broader U.S. naval posture under U.S. Central Command and European Command includes Tomahawk-capable destroyers USS Mitscher, McFaul, Oscar Austin, Roosevelt, Bulkeley, and Paul Ignatius, and submarines USS South Dakota and USS Georgia, with combined Tomahawk capacity estimated at 358 missiles, rising to approximately 454 when including the Abraham Lincoln strike group.
