(Ha'aretz) Amos Harel - Israel is receiving broad international support (albeit not always declared) for its actions against Iran. The Iranians are perceived by the international community - and justly so - as dangerous and ill-intentioned. Senior officials in neighboring countries are telling their Israeli counterparts, "just keep going," and expressing plenty of appreciation for Israel's operational and intelligence achievements. In the months before the June 13 attack on Iran, Israel gave the Americans intelligence on secret experiments by the Iranians, including the development of the so-called nuclear trigger. Israel also documented thorough and diversified technological research on the margins of the weapons program. A security source has told Ha'aretz that the Iranians made significant progress in recent months under cover of the negotiations with the U.S. Israel also discovered that the bombing of the production line for ballistic missiles in October didn't stop the Iranians, who quickly returned to rapid production. By March 2026 they would have had 4,000 ballistic missiles. Moreover, Iran's plan to destroy Israel - based on huge arsenals of ballistic missiles, along with militias that would invade Israel across the borders - was being consolidated.
