In this interview, Elie Pierpz , expert analyst and Director of Governmental Affairs at the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF), breaks down President Trump's true strategy in the US-Iran conflict, why a premature deal is far less likely than people think, and why the goal of regime change has never left the table. 🔍 In this interview: Why Trump is acting as a "Disrupter-in-Chief" in foreign policy How the US economic blockade is strangling the Iranian regime from within Why the Iran nuclear program is the ultimate red line that kills any deal The real reason Trump doesn't telegraph his military plans How internal divisions inside Iran are accelerating — and why time is on the West's side What happens next if diplomacy fails entirely #Iran #MiddleEast #StraitsOfHormuz #Israel #Geopolitics #IDSF #trump This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

Why won't ultra-Orthodox Haredim serve in the IDF? Rabbi Carmi Gross says the Israeli Army has completely misunderstood the reason — and he should know. He runs the yeshiva that's changing everything. Rabbi Carmi Gross is the dean of Beit Midrash Derech Hayim — Israel's leading Haredi hesder yeshiva, where serious Torah study is combined with full IDF military service. In this conversation with the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF), Rabbi Gross reveals what the Israeli government, the army, and the media consistently get wrong about the ultra-Orthodox draft debate. His answer will surprise you: it's not about keeping Shabbat in the army. It's not about kosher food or mixed units. It's about whether Haredim see themselves as Israelis at all. In this episode: Why the IDF's religious accommodations completely miss the real barrier The deep cultural identity that keeps ultra-Orthodox Jews from serving Rabbi Gross's "bricks made of glass" metaphor — and what it reveals about Haredi society today Why the Supreme Court ruling on economic sanctions against draft dodgers may backfire The grassroots "quiet revolution" already underway inside Haredi communities What a new category of Zionist Haredim could mean for Israel's future With Israel facing an urgent need for more soldiers and a Supreme Court order on Haredi conscription creating political shockwaves, this conversation is essential viewing. #Israel #IDF #UltraOrthodox #Haredi #IsraelNews #IsraelDefenseForces #HarediDraft #IsraeliArmy #Judaism #middleeastwar This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

In today’s briefing, we visit the newly reestablished Israeli community of Sanur, located in northern Samaria. Just weeks ago, life began returning to this historic area after nearly two decades. Following the 2005 disengagement led by then–Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Israel evacuated its communities in northern Samaria, alongside its withdrawal from Gaza. Now, new legislation has paved the way for rebuilding these towns, as Israelis return to the biblical heartland to renew a Jewish presence. In this briefing, Lt. Col. (Res.) Tal Nir discusses the revival of Sanur, the challenges of establishing a new community, and the evolving security landscape. He explains how military bases and outposts are developed—and why, in his view, the presence of civilians plays a key role in strengthening security in the region.

Iran's economy is being systematically destroyed — and it's happening right now. Brigadier General Amir Avivi, Founder of the Israel Defense and Security Forum (IDSF), breaks down the biggest geopolitical shift in the Middle East: the opening of the Strait of Hormuz, the collapse of Iranian proxy power, and why Israel is about to become Europe's next great energy corridor. In this episode, Gen. Avivi reveals: Why the US clearing sea mines in the Strait of Hormuz is a "defining moment" that strips Iran of its last leverage How the UAE and Saudi Arabia are bypassing the strait entirely — and what that means for global oil markets The game-changing pipeline deal that will route Saudi oil through Israel to Europe Why Israel's domestic energy independence is a critical national security issue How 40%+ inflation and a US blockade are destroying Iran's ability to fund Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis Why the Iranian regime is on a "one-way ticket" to collapse What comes after — and why every Middle Eastern country will eventually normalize with Israel This is not just a regional conflict. As Gen. Avivi says: "This is probably the most defining war in the 21st century that will shape the global reality." #Iran #MiddleEast #StraitsOfHormuz #Israel #Geopolitics #IDSF #NationalSecurity This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

In this exclusive briefing, recorded April 20, 2026, Brigadier General Amir Avivi talks about what we can expect to see after Wednesday, the deadline for a deal with Iran: 🔴 How has the US blockade on Iran impacted the country and how much longer can they withstand the pressure. 🔴 The blockade strategy — is it enough or can the US and Israel turn up the pressure by targeting sensitive infrastructure that will push Iran to the negotiating table? 🔴 Who has the benefit of time right now, the US or Iran? Are we looking at another war of attrition and Wednesday's deadline will not bring about the end to this war? 🔴 How does the war in Lebanon and Hezbollah's continued efforts to destroy the Jewish state relate to the negotiations in Iran? 🔴 Operation Silver Plow is now fully underway in Lebanon to fully uproot Hezbollah positions on the Israel-Lebanon border.

Trump's blockade of Iran is now total. Every port. Every tanker. 90% of Iran's economy — strangled. After 40 days of the most intensive air campaign in the region's history, Brigadier General Amir Avivi explains why the real war has only just begun — and why Iran has no way out. In this exclusive briefing, Gen. Avivi breaks down: 🔴 Why air strikes alone can't finish Iran — Israel and the US destroyed every military factory, sank the Iranian Navy, and hit petrochemical plants worth tens of billions. But Iran's ballistic missile program and nuclear sites are buried so deep, even the B-2 bomber can't reach them. The only path to victory is economic. 🔴 The blockade strategy — With 90% of Iranian imports and exports flowing through its ports, a total naval blockade means one thing: no economy, no regime. Gen. Avivi calls it "the toughest war you can imagine." 🔴 Why the ceasefire was a trap — The US-brokered ceasefire wasn't a pause — it was a strategic move to flood the region with American forces, replenish munitions, and seize permanent control of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran walked right into it. 🔴 What Iran must surrender — dismantling the ballistic missile program, shutting all enrichment sites, handing over enriched uranium, and ending all proxy funding. Nothing less. 🔴 Lebanon and Hezbollah — The IDF now controls 10km of South Lebanon and is closing on Hezbollah's last stronghold. The Lebanese government is quietly asking Israel for direct talks — something that has never happened before. 🔴 Gaza — the next phase — Hamas is rebuilding. But Israel won't shift forces south until Lebanon is resolved. Gen. Avivi lays out the sequencing.The US isn't just fighting for Israel. It's fighting for control of global oil markets, the petrodollar system, and a fundamental realignment of Middle East alliances. This is bigger than most people realize. #israel #IranStrike #IDSF #Geopolitics #MiddleEastWar #israelnews #idf #hormuz #charge This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

The IDF is aggressively targeting Hezbollah in southern Lebanon as the war rages on in Iran. Brigadier General Amir Avivi visits Israel's northern border to provide a first hand account of life on the Lebanon border, and the IDF operations in Lebanon. In this exclusive front-line briefing, Gen. Avivi reveals: 🔴 The IDF's ground operation in Lebanon — 4 divisions pushing Hezbollah north, destroying all infrastructure, and building a 10km security buffer zone that may extend to the Litani River (20-30km). 🔴 The verdict on South Lebanon — "No Shia citizen is going back without Hezbollah being completely dismantled." Gen. Avivi does not rule out indefinite Israeli control — or eventual annexation. 🔴 Hezbollah's endgame — a million Shias displaced, leadership eliminated, economic infrastructure destroyed. The group is fighting for survival, not victory. 🔴 The big picture — Why Gen. Avivi calls this moment a "huge, historical, biblical drama" — and what the fall of Iran means for Hezbollah, Hamas, and the entire region. 📍 Filmed in Metula, Israel — March 31, 2025 #israel #IDSF #Geopolitics #MiddleEastWar #israelnews #idf @lebanon This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

IDF Brigadier General Res. Amir Avivi delivers an urgent war room briefing on the coordinated US–Israel strike campaign against Iran — and what the next wave of escalation will look like.   In this exclusive update, the General walks through the opening hours of the operation: a surprise Saturday morning attack that eliminated 40 top Iranian leaders, followed by more than two thousand combined US and Israeli strikes that destroyed roughly half of Iran’s ballistic missile arsenal in just 48 hours. He explains how Israel has achieved air superiority deep inside Iranian airspace — and across the skys of Tehran — and why this phase is designed to systematically dismantle Iran’s military, government, and command-and-control. You’ll hear how Iran responded with over 200 ballistic missiles fired at Israel, strikes on Qatar, UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and attacks on Western forces in Cyprus — and why Iranian ballistic missiles remain an existential threat to Israeli civilians in places like Tel Aviv and Beit Shemesh. Watch to understand:   The true objective of this campaign — including open talk of regime change in Iran.   How much of Iran’s missile capability has been destroyed, and what remains The planned timeline for this operation and why it is meant to be fast The risk of regional war as Iran targets Arab states and Western bases What the “next move” looks like for the US, Israel, and the Iranian people themselves Stay to the end for General Avivi’s assessment of how this war could reshape the Middle East if the operation succeeds — and what Israelis and allies should prepare for in the coming days and weeks.   #israel #IranStrike #IDSF #Geopolitics #MiddleEastWar #israelnews #idf   This is an episode from the IDSF Daily Briefings.

Iran Expert Warns: Breaking Up Iran Will Ignite Regional Chaos. In this in‑depth briefing, Dr. Harold Rhode explains why plans to carve Iran into ethnic mini‑states are not just unrealistic — they’re a recipe for civil war and regional instability. Despite its many ethnic and religious groups, Iran has a deep, shared cultural identity that most Western policymakers fail to understand. Dr. Rhode lays out why any serious conversation about Iran regime change must start from the reality of Iranian culture: a powerful attachment to the land and a historic expectation of a strong, unifying leader at the top. He also explores whether figures like Reza Pahlavi could realistically hold the country together after the current regime falls. We discuss: • Why Iran is a civilizational state, not an artificial one • How “breaking up Iran” could ignite chaos across the Middle East • The danger of Western fantasies about ethnic partition • Why most citizens still think of themselves as deeply Iranian • The cultural expectation of a strong leader vs. Western‑style democracy • Could Reza Pahlavi unify Iran after the regime?

Is regime change enough to stop a nuclear Iran? Dr. Martin Sherman argues that replacing the leadership in Tehran is a temporary fix for a permanent threat. In this exclusive IDSF briefing, Dr. Sherman presents a "bombshell" strategic alternative: the complete dismantling of the Iranian nation-state. Drawing parallels to the dissolution of Yugoslavia, Dr. Sherman contends that as long as the centralized Iranian state exists, the aspiration for regional dominance and nuclear weapons will remain—regardless of who sits in the government. His radical proposal? Empowering the oppressed ethnic minorities within Iran to fracture the map and end the Persian hegemony forever. In this briefing, we cover: The Regime Change Myth: Why a new government won't stop the nuclear program. The "Yugoslavia Option": A strategic framework for dissolving the state.

In this war briefing, we analyze the specific military buildup happening right now in the Middle East (Jan 2026).
