🇮🇱/🇮🇷 Iranian Foreign Ministry:

The Zionist regime's aggressive actions against Iran would not have been possible without the coordination and authorization of the United States.

The US government, as the Zionist regime's primary backer, will also bear responsibility for the consequences of its adventurism.

Graphite Caught: First Forensic Confirmation of Paragon’s iOS Mercenary Spyware Finds Journalists Targeted | The Citizen Lab

On April 29, 2025, a select group of iOS users were notified by Apple that they were targeted with advanced spyware. Among the group were two journalists that consented for the technical analysis of their cases. The key findings from our forensic analysis of their devices are summarized below:

Our forensic analysis concluded that one of the journalist’s devices was compromised with Paragon’s Graphite spyware in January and early February 2025 while running iOS 18.2.1. We attribute the compromise to Graphite with high confidence because logs on the device indicated that it made a series of requests to a server that, during the same time period, matched our published Fingerprint P1. We linked this fingerprint to Paragon’s Graphite spyware with high confidence.

Dr. Leila Nicolas writes on X:

Israel has launched unprecedented strikes against Iran.
Over time, and through several key junctures, Iran has gradually lost its deterrence posture. Two pivotal moments mark this decline:

1. When Ismail Haniyeh was targeted on Iranian soil and Tehran chose to maintain "strategic restraint". At the time, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah delivered a speech stressing the necessity of a response, framing the matter as one tied to Iranian national dignity.

2. The second, and most decisive moment, came with the assassination of Sayyed Nasrallah himself, an event that went unanswered with a crushing retaliation, neither against Israel nor within the region.

In the aftermath, deterrence collapsed completely, and Netanyahu emerged emboldened, going so far as to publicly threaten the Supreme Leader of Iran.

To restore deterrence and protect itself, Iran now faces two options:

1. Launch a conventional military response that matches the scale and impact of Israel’s aggression, reasserting strength through force.

2. Develop a nuclear weapon, establishing an alternative form of deterrence to compensate for the collapse of its long-invested "forward defense" doctrine.

Without either path, the next objective on the table will be nothing short of regime change [in Iran].
