Amid 'Compromise' Chaos, Analyst Sees 90% Chance Of Iran War Round 3 As Hegseth Makes 'Secretive' Israel Visit
The Monday surprise visit of US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to Israel where he met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has set off an avalanche of speculation regarding the likelihood of another major round of fighting in the Iran war.
The trip has been presented by Axios as happening under some degree of secrecy, with talks having taken place at the Ovda Air Base in southern Israel, which plays host to US refueling planes and fighter jets. While the Pentagon did not immediately comment, Israeli media has also been reporting on the high profile visit to the airbase. The Trump administration has remained silent on the visit.
But what has taken over by Tuesday morning are more 'deal imminent'-style headlines, coming out of Gulf-aligned sources:
Mediation efforts said that "Qatar and Pakistan presented a 'compromise proposal' that meets the demands of both the Americ...

Israel Tests Upgraded Laser-Guided Iron Dome System After Harsh 'Lessons' Of Iran War
Israel's famed Iron Dome air defense system has undergone a significant upgrade, and the country's defense ministry is hailing new successful advanced tests, touting that it is now immensely better at countering aerial threats such as cruise missiles and drones.
Israeli officials are tacitly admitting that a major overhaul was needed based on lessons learned both in the June 2025 aerial war with Iran and the Iranian retaliatory attacks in the opening month of Operation Epic Fury.
By pretty much all accounts both within and outside Israel, Iran's missiles - some of them reportedly hypersonic - inflicted severe damage on Israeli cities, bases, and infrastructure. A key Tel Aviv military-intelligence headquarters in the heart of Tel Aviv was also struck, possibly on several occasions.

Waffenruhe im Iran-Krieg: Ein bisschen Frieden (DZ Bank)

Marktseitig hat sich das Narrativ eines US-Präsidenten, der wilde Drohungen aussendet, diese schlussendlich aber nicht umsetzt, (erfreulicherweise) einmal mehr bestätigt. Zwar spricht Trump in gewohnter Manier von einem „totalen und vollständigen Sieg“ für die USA. Die Nachricht des iranischen Außenministers, wonach der Schiffsverkehr durch die Straße von Hormus „in Abstimmung mit den iranischen Streitkräften und unter Berücksichtigung technischer Einschränkungen“ wieder aufgenommen werden könne, entspricht jedoch nur eingeschränkt der Forderung des US-Präsidenten nach einer vollständigen Öffnung der Meerenge. Und von den teils geäußerten US-Kriegszielen, darunter ein Regimewechsel im Iran, ist die Region weit entfernt.. --- Ebenfalls gegen einen „totalen US-Sieg“ spricht der Zehn-Punkte-Plan aus Teheran, den die Trump-Administration als Grundlage für Verhandlungen anerkennt. Laut iranischen Angaben enthält dieser Forderungen, wonach der Iran die Kontrolle über die Straße von Hormus behält..

Israel Squandering Opportunity in Lebanon, Analyst Warns (Bloomberg)
|
|

“Lebanon could be turned into a primary front with Israel just digging deeper,” warns RAND's Shira Efron, as fighting continues between Israel and Iran-backed Hezbollah militants in the southern part of the country. Last week, Defense Minister Israel Katz said Israel plans to hold a security zone up to Lebanon's Litani River. “It is not an occupation at the moment,” says Efron, “but it could turn into one.” “Israel has a partner in Lebanon. If Israel occupies parts of Lebanon, it's going to lose...
