The Rise of Jewish Terrorism During the Iran War

Violence has increased in the West Bank following the war with Iran, with reports of “hilltop youth” (radical settlers) committing acts described as a “fight for control of the territory” and aiming to uproot Palestinians, often with the support of some government members.
I urge Israeli leaders to do everything necessary to curb settler violence in the West Bank and persecute individuals responsible for inciting violence.

Will the Middle East War Drive Global Terrorism?

With the outbreak of the War in the Middle East (February 28, 2026-…), the threat of extremism and terrorism will grow. To mitigate the threat at a global, regional, national and local level – leadership is vital.

While the threat in the Middle East persists due to Iran’s sponsorship of terrorism, the global threat has expanded in two directions. While an Al Qaeda/Taliban centric Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) is rated the most violent group in Asia, both Al Qaeda and Islamic State affiliates dominate the violence in Africa.

I highly recommend the latest released Global Terrorism Index (GTI) published by The Institute for Economics and Peace and urge everyone working in security to allocate some time to study it.

Iran’s Strategic Leap: Middle East War Expands

If anyone had doubts that the Iranian regime was engaged in terrorism, Tehran’s conduct after the Middle East War that erupted on February 28, 2026 has demonstrated adequately its preponderant use of terrorism! Using aerospace weapons – missiles, drones and rockets – the Iranian regime has mounted attacks on 12 countries in the neighbourhood, including mostly against civilian targets.

In this article, I address questions about what could come next now that Iran has displayed that its missile range could reach 4,000km. Read it here

Mojtaba vows to keep Strait of Hormuz closed

In his public statement released on national television, the new Supreme Leader of Iran Mojtaba Khamenei ordered the Strait of Hormuz remain closed as a “strategic lever” to pressure international energy markets and the U.S.
He also delivered an ultimatum to neighbors and warned the Gulf Arab states to shut down U.S. military bases on their soil immediately; and stated that these installations would remain targets for Iranian strikes as long as they are operational.
He demanded reparations from Iran’s “enemies” for war damages, threatening to seize or destroy their assets to an equivalent extent if they refuse to pay. And praised the “Resistance Front”, including specifically naming Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, and Iraqi resistance groups.

Who is Iran’s New Leader?

Mojtaba Khamenei was chosen as Iran’s spiritual, political and the military leader of Iran after his father Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed on Feb 28, 2026. Iran’s top clerical body, the Assembly of Experts, issued a statement shortly after midnight on March 9 in Iran. In this article, I outline his background and probable course of action.

Will the War in the Middle East Eclipse the Rising Threat in Africa?

Away from the glare of the international media, terrorism is on the rise in Africa. Although the focus is on the Middle East, the epicentre of global terrorism has shifted to Africa. After the physical collapse of the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) on March 23, 2019, Africa witnessed the steadfast rise of terrorist movements. The very ideologies both of the Islamic State and Al Qaeda started to influence the threat landscape in Africa.

War in the Middle East

While the Pentagon named its campaign “Epic Fury,” Israel named its campaign “Lion’s Roar”. Focusing on decapitation of high value targets, the IDF together with the US struck launch sites and missile depots, nuclear and other strategic sites, selected energy assets, Uranium mines and land, sea and air force bases.
Tehran views the U.S. as an “oppressive power” and a “Great Satan” that seeks to dominate the Middle East through Israel, the “Little Satan”. So, in response, Iran launched operation “True Promise 4” targeting multiple US military bases and civilian targets across the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Jordan, Iraq, Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar.
In this article, I provide detail, footage, and analysis based on US and Israeli intelligence. The coming days will be pivotal for Iran’s future.

Will the radicalisation of protesters lead to more terrorist attacks in Australia?

Both the terrorist attackers that participated in the Bondi beach participated in the pro-Palestine protests. These protests even said “gas the Jews”. These protests are radicalising people on a dangerously large scale.
As Israeli President ends his visit to Australia, there is much to learn and do. The international security community has to act fast, including the Australian government too.
In the link below, I write about the developments in Australia amidst this Head of State visit and outline the extent to which the protestors are willing to go to spread anti-semitism and violence.

Trump & America’s Return to the Monroe Doctrine

To understand President Trump’s volatile foreign policy, there is no better document to study than the “2026 National Defense Strategy”. After delineating the global threat, the 2026 National defense Strategy calls upon US allies and partners to do more rapidly, “not as a favor to Americans but for their own interests.”

As a part of its strategic approach, the US Department of War has identified four lines of effort. In this article I explain them all and provide an analysis of the current geopolitical crises and the role the US will employ in the coming months.
