The IRGC knows the UK is weak | Kasra Aarabi

from Israel in 10 · host Misgav Institute for National Security

President Trump says the war with Iran could end “very quickly,” but Tehran is warning it is prepared to expand the conflict far beyond the Middle East, raising fears of increased Iranian-linked terror activity in Europe. Today’s guest is Kasra Aarabi, Director of IRGC Research at UANI. He says the British government is putting politics ahead of national security in its handling of Iran and the IRGC. Meanwhile, oil shipments are cautiously resuming through the Strait of Hormuz, easing pressure on global markets after weeks of disruption caused by the conflict. Iranian-backed militias in Iraq continue launching drones toward the UAE, including an attack that triggered a fire near the Barakah nuclear power plant. The UAE says the facility remains secure, though the UN’s nuclear watchdog has warned a direct hit could cause a major radioactive incident. The IDF has confirmed the death of reservist officer Itamar Sapir during fighting in southern Lebanon after Hezbollah operatives opened fire from inside a church in the border village of Qouza. Israeli naval commandos have intercepted all remaining vessels in the Turkish-led Gaza flotilla operation, detaining hundreds of activists as Israel says the maritime blockade will remain in force under international law. An international body overseeing the Gaza ceasefire is expected to push for increased pressure on Hamas to disarm, warning reconstruction efforts and any broader political transition remain stalled while the terror group retains its weapons and tunnel network.
