🛡️ ISRAEL CONDUCTS IRAN MISSILE MASS-CASUALTY DRILL, SHARES SENSITIVE INTEL WITH U.S., AND DEFINES RED LINES AS IRAN THREATENS REGIONAL WAR AND GLOBAL SHIPPING



⚠️ HOME FRONT COMMAND DRILL SIMULATES IRANIAN MISSILE STRIKES: IDF Home Front Command conducted a large-scale rescue and mass-casualty drill at the Zikim base near the Gaza border, simulating extensive destruction from Iranian missile strikes. The exercise marked the first return of rescue forces to the base since October 7 and included scenarios modeled on recent conflict lessons, including the effects of Iranian cluster-type missiles that disperse sub-munitions over wide urban areas.

Forces trained in rubble extraction, handling unexploded ordnance, managing large multi-street destruction zones, and operating in earthquake-like conditions. 

The drill also included compound-threat scenarios such as follow-on strikes on rescue teams, armed attacks at destruction sites, and cyber disruptions that disabled command systems, with commanders emphasizing faster rescue methods and expanded capabilities across reserve battalions.

🤝 ISRAEL–U.S. SECURITY COORDINATION: Israeli officials describe current Israel–U.S. security relations as unprecedented across all levels, including the IDF, the CIA, and political leadership. Israel is sharing with Washington what it calls its most sensitive intelligence, including lessons from its recent limited confrontation with Iran.

Senior Israeli security officials have held a series of high-level coordination meetings in Washington led by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, following earlier visits by the heads of Mossad and Military Intelligence. Discussions focused on intelligence sharing, operational readiness, and contingency planning, as the U.S. reinforces its regional posture with naval assets and layered missile defense systems to protect Israel, U.S. forces, and regional allies.

⚠️ IRAN NEGOTIATIONS AND ISRAELI RED LINES: Israeli officials told Channel 12: "We have warned Washington about Tehran's deception tactics. Israel has set three conditions for reaching a good deal with Iran. These include ending Iran's nuclear and missile programs and halting its support for proxies in the Middle East".

Israeli assessments hold that negotiations are unlikely to yield a comprehensive agreement. Israeli officials warn that a deal addressing only the nuclear file while leaving missiles and regional proxies intact would be a worst-case outcome.

⚠️ REGIONAL POSTURE AND TIMELINE ASSESSMENTS: While the U.S. seeks to block Iran’s nuclear ambitions, it is also demanding limits on ballistic missiles and proxy activity, demands Iran continues to reject. Israel is careful not to appear as pushing the U.S. toward war, while warning that inaction could be perceived regionally as weakness.

Iran has escalated rhetoric and threats as the U.S. continues its force buildup, with a final decision still pending. Israeli assessments describe the diplomatic-military decision window as weeks, not months, and note that the U.S. may ask Israel to join an attack on Iran due to Israel’s experience.

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. 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. The carrier group includes USS Abraham Lincoln with escort destroyers USS Frank E. Petersen, USS...
