04/10 Links Pt1: The West’s fifth column; Iran war is huge success for Israel - but it is not a victory, yet; How the war struck Iran’s architecture of repression

From Ian:

Melanie Phillips: The West’s fifth column
It’s been chilling to witness a media and political class—mainly on the left, but also on the right—from the start, willing America and Israel to lose this war. The ceasefire terms have thus been spun as a catastrophic defeat: “the disastrous defining act” of Trump’s presidency.

The stupendous military and intelligence achievements of Israel and America have been brushed aside. The decimation of Iran’s military power is dismissed as merely “tactical” gains with no strategic achievement.

Above all, this Greek chorus of doom (echoed by numerous Israeli commentators on the left, for whom the defeat of Iran is of far less importance than the defeat of Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu) assumes the war is now over, ignoring the negotiation that has yet to play out.

It’s hard to see how that negotiation can end in a deal at all. Trump’s terms require Iran’s total surrender. Iran’s published terms require its total victory. The area for compromise between these two maximalist positions is nonexistent.

As ever, reading Trump’s mind is a mug’s game. We can’t yet tell whether he’s being played for a sucker by a regime which—by Trump’s own account—has never won a war but never lost a negotiation; or whether he’s delivering a masterclass in geopolitical chess.

The concern is that he’s negotiating at all with religious fanatics, whose infernal agenda is totally non-negotiable and for whom negotiation merely demonstrates their opponent’s weak-minded refusal to go the military distance.

Maybe Trump is using these negotiations as a strategic feint. The suspicion is, however, that he believes that every conflict can be resolved through a deal. If so, that’s a disastrous category error. Iran has always wrong-footed negotiators because they believe that, like everyone else in the world, the regime is susceptible to appeals to personal or national self-interest.

Not so. The fanatics of Tehran would sacrifice the entire population of Iran if needs be, and they regard their own likely deaths as sanctified by the goal of producing Armageddon and the return to earth of the Shia messiah.
Government approves a record 34 new settlements, as it acts to deepen hold on West Bank
The security cabinet approved the establishment of 34 new West Bank settlements in a meeting two weeks ago, The Times of Israel has confirmed.

The approval of the new settlements — brand new settlements as well as illegal ones retroactively legalized — constitutes the largest number of settlements approved by any government at one time, the Peace Now organization said.

Security cabinet meetings and their decisions are classified, and there has been no official confirmation of the decision to approve the 34 new settlements by the government.

According to the i24 News site, which first reported the story earlier Thursday, some of the slated new settlements are located in areas of the northern West Bank isolated from other Israeli settlements but deep among Palestinian population centers, albeit still within Area C of the territory where Israel has full control.

The security cabinet decision brings the total number of settlements approved by the current government to 103 since it took office in 2022.

This amounts to a 78 percent increase in the total number of government-approved settlements in the three and a half years of the current government’s tenure, said Peace Now, which strongly opposes the settlement movement.

By comparison, only six new settlements were formally approved by Israel in the 30 years between the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993 and the establishment of the current government.

Only a handful of the 103 newly approved settlements have received approval through the Civil Administration’s planning processes, meaning that they have yet to be fully authorized.
PFLP-linked NGO closes Palestinian branch, citing Israel's red tape
The watchdog NGO Monitor delved deeper into DCIP’s ties to the PFLP. It found that several of DCIP’s board members are also PFLP members.

An example is Mahmoud Jiddah, who was elected to the DCIP board in May 2012, but was imprisoned by Israel for 17 years for carrying out grenade attacks against Israeli civilians in Jerusalem in 1968.

Another was Hassan Abed Aljawad, board member up to 2018, who has represented the PFLP at public events.

Shawan Jabarin, who was convicted in 1985 for recruiting members for the PFLP and arranging PFLP training outside Israel, was on the DCI-P’s board of directors from 2007 to 2014.

The former coordinator of DCI-P’s community mobilization unit, Hashem Abu Mari, was killed during a violent confrontation in Beit Ummar in 2014. Following his death, he was hailed by the PFLP as a “leader,” which issued an official mourning announcement. The PFLP announcement praised his work for DCI-P, stating “he was in the ranks of the national liberation struggle and the PFLP from an early age.”

In June 2018, UK Lawyers for Israel (UKLFI) succeeded in preventing DCIP from receiving foreign-currency donations via bank transfers from Citibank and Arab Bank PLC. It wrote to Citibank and to Arab Bank in May 2018, highlighting DCIP’s links to the PFLP, and requested that Citibank and Arab Bank withdraw their banking services.

Caroline Turner, director of UKLFI, said at the time that she was “extremely pleased that we are succeeding in shutting down the transfer of donations to this terror-linked NGO”.

Following the announcement of DCIP’s closure, NGO Monitor released a statement saying, “For decades, DCI-P defended terrorists under the guise of protecting children, and played a central role in systematically promoting heinous false accusations against Israel by portraying teens involved in terror attacks – child soldiers – as innocent victims.”

“The damage from DCI-P’s false allegations will take many years to undo,” it concluded.


Iran war is huge success for Israel - but it is not a victory, yet
Because as long as this regime remains in Tehran, it will rebuild. It will develop newer missiles. It will seek to reconstitute its nuclear program.

And any future supreme leader will draw the most obvious lesson from this war: had Iran possessed a nuclear weapon, this war likely would never have happened. That means the regime’s incentive to continue pursuing one has only grown stronger.

Which means Israel’s job – ideally in partnership with the United States and other allies – will be to stop it again.

Will that happen in eight months? In 12? In 16? No one knows. But that possibility is precisely why honesty matters. It is why leaders need to speak to be transparent with the public and set realistic expectations.

They need to explain what has been achieved, and they need to explain just as clearly what has not. They need to say that military success is real and important, but that it is not permanent and that deterrence today does not guarantee quiet tomorrow.

This is not easy to hear. It is not the kind of message politicians like to deliver and does not fit neatly into campaign slogans or speeches. But it is the truth.

And I suspect that most Israelis, after everything they have lived through over the last two and a half years, already understand it. They may not want to say it out loud and may still long for the old promises of quick wars, but deep down, they know the reality has changed.

War is no longer a fleeting moment for this generation of Israelis. It is a recurring condition of life in this country. That is the reality.

What will help is clarity and honesty. And what will help most is understanding that this war, like the ones before it, should not be judged by slogans but by results – not just on the battlefield, but in the weeks and months that follow.
How the war struck Iran’s architecture of repression
Israel’s campaign in Iran has reached far beyond missile depots and military command. Over roughly a month, it has also hit the architecture of domestic repression: intelligence compounds, police stations, Basij bases, judicial buildings, and senior officials tied to crackdowns.

That matters not only because of the damage done, but because of what these places meant. In Iran, repression has never depended on one institution alone. It has been built as a layered system, running from the top decision-making bodies in Tehran down to the neighborhood police station, the local Basij outpost and the courthouse where detainees are processed.

A review by Iran International of citizen reports and source material found that, in about one month after the war began, at least 130 sites tied to internal repression were destroyed or hit.

They included 57 Basij buildings or bases, 43 police (FARAJA) facilities, 10 Revolutionary Guards compounds, and 11 security complexes involved in repression. Other targets included judicial buildings and the state broadcaster, institutions that helped complete the chain through prosecutions, propaganda and coerced confessions.

Iran International sources also put the toll among security forces at nearly 5,000 dead and about 21,000 wounded.
Pierre Rehov: Iran's Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf Is No Moderate
The rulers of the Middle East learned long ago -- from the United States falling for their Charlie Brown football routine every time -- how to outwit the West or outlast it.

With the Gaza Strip, US President Donald J. Trump sets up a "Board of Peace" ostensibly to oversee the permanent disarmament of Hamas, only to pack it with Islamists dedicated to waging war, who have no interest in seeing any kind of peace, and then turns his attention elsewhere while Hamas comfortably builds up its power base again.

Meanwhile, to the presumed delight of both Erdogan and Mohammed bin Salman, al-Sharaa has been using his "chance at greatness" to unobstructedly massacre Christians, Druze, Kurds and Alawites throughout Syria.

In Iran, it looks as if Trump might be about to repeat these catastrophes by allowing Mohammad Ghalibaf, speaker of Iran's Majlis (parliament) and a longtime hardline Islamist, to continue tormenting Iran's betrayed citizens. If "HELP IS ON ITS WAY," as Trump promised, this sure is not it.

Ghalibaf is not a moderate. Ghalibaf has never been a moderate.... His entire career path runs directly in the opposite direction of anyone diverging from the regime.

The illusion of his "pragmatism," as with Syria's al-Sharaa, has been carefully cultivated, both domestically and abroad.... He speaks of fighting corruption, modernization and administrative reform. For Western observers eager to identify "moderates" inside the Iranian system, these "assurances" are often sufficient. Yet this is precisely where the misunderstanding begins.

The familiar Western narrative of "moderates versus hardliners" within the regime reflects Western hopes, not Iranian reality.

The Islamic Republic of Iran does not produce moderates in the Western sense. It produces highly effective operatives. Ghalibaf is among its most accomplished. Mistaking expediency for moderation, however, is exactly the kind of Western error that regimes such as Iran's have learned to exploit with consistency – and the obliging complicity of the West.
Arriving in Pakistan, Iran’s top negotiator demands US accept ‘preconditions’ before talks start
An Iranian negotiating delegation led by Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqher Ghalibaf arrived in Islamabad Friday ahead of Saturday’s peace talks with the United States, which Ghalibaf demanded accept Iran’s “preconditions” before talks could begin.

Speaking from Islamabad, Ghalibaf claimed Iran had goodwill toward negotiations but no trust in the United States, adding that the Islamic Republic was ready to reach a deal if Washington offered what he described as a genuine agreement and granted Iran its rights, Iranian state media reported.

Ghalibaf stated earlier that Tehran’s demands include a ceasefire in Lebanon, which Iran and mediating Pakistan have stated was supposed to be part of the ceasefire with the US to begin with. The US and Israel have said otherwise. Ghalibaf has also called for the release of billions of dollars in frozen assets belonging to Iran.

Ghalibaf’s delegation includes senior political, military and economic officials, including the Iranian foreign minister, defense council secretary, central bank governor and several members of parliament.

A US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance also departed Friday, with Vance warning Tehran not to “play” the US during the negotiations.

Ahead of the talks, Pakistani Prime Minister ​Shehbaz ​Sharif called the negotiations being hosted in his country’s capital “make or break.”

“In response to my sincere invitation, the leaderships of both countries are coming to Islamabad. There, negotiations will be held for the establishment of peace,” Sharif said in an address to the nation.

Pakistan added that it hopes the parties would engage constructively, and reiterated its desire to “continue facilitating the parties towards reaching lasting and durable solution to the conflict.”


State Dept summons Iraqi envoy after Iran-backed militias ‘ambush’ US diplomats
The U.S. State Department applied diplomatic pressure to Iraq on Thursday after Iran-backed militia groups attacked U.S. diplomats in what the department called an “ambush.”

Deputy Secretary of State Christopher Landau issued a diplomatic summons to Iraq’s ambassador to the United States, Nizar Khirullah, to condemn an April 8 attack by Iraqi militias on U.S. diplomatic facilities and personnel in Baghdad.

“The deputy secretary emphasized the Iraqi government’s failure to prevent these attacks while some elements associated with the Iraqi government continue to actively provide political, financial and operational cover for the militias adversely impacts the U.S.-Iraq relationship,” State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott stated.

“The United States will not tolerate attacks on U.S. interests and expects the Iraqi government to immediately take all measures to dismantle the Iran-aligned militia groups in Iraq,” Pigott said.

As part of its “popular mobilization forces,” Iraq has dozens of Iranian-backed Shia militia groups that are legally under the command of the Iraqi prime minister but support Iran in practice. Those include U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations like Kata’ib Hezbollah and Asa’ib Ahl al-Haq.

On April 8, the U.S. embassy in Baghdad said that “Iran-aligned Iraqi terrorist militias conducted several drone attacks” near its diplomatic support center and Baghdad International Airport but did not report any casualties.


JPost Editorial: Spain is failing the West and weakening Europe's diplomatic hand
Spain, under Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, has chosen a shameful role in the confrontation between the West and the Iranian regime.

In recent weeks, Madrid blocked US use of the jointly operated Rota and Moron bases for strikes connected to the Iran campaign, later closed its airspace to American military aircraft involved in that effort, and this week announced it would reopen its embassy in Tehran.

At the same time, Spain intensified its pressure on Israel and called for the European Union to suspend its association agreement with the Jewish state.

This is a profound strategic error. It is also a revealing one.

The symbolism could hardly be clearer. Iran is the main sponsor of Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the Houthis. It has armed, financed, and encouraged instability across the region for decades. Yet as Israel continues to fight a seven-front war that began with the October 7 massacre, and after the United States joined the effort to degrade Iranian capabilities, Sanchez’s government chose to distance itself from Washington and Jerusalem while restoring diplomatic presence in Tehran.

Spain presents this as a policy of peace, legality, and restraint. The reality looks different. A NATO member that limits allied military cooperation during a major regional crisis, then reopens its embassy in the capital of the regime that fuels so much of that crisis, is not acting as a stabilizing force. It is broadcasting confusion, weakness, and moral vanity.
Israeli FM slams Spain for reopening embassy in Tehran
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Thursday condemned Spain’s decision to reopen its embassy in Tehran, accusing Madrid of aligning itself with “the Iranian terror regime.”

Spain’s Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares announced the move earlier Thursday, saying the country hoped “to achieve peace in the region.” Albares said he had instructed Spain’s ambassador to return to Tehran and resume duties “from every possible quarter, including from the Iranian capital itself.”

Sa’ar wrote on X that Iran was “resuming the execution of its citizens, protesters and political dissidents,” calling Spain’s decision “an eternal disgrace.”

Spain said last month it had permanently withdrawn its ambassador to Israel as relations between Madrid and Jerusalem plunged to a new low over the left-wing Spanish government’s opposition to the U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran’s regime.

Israel brought its ambassador home last year in protest of Spain’s decision to recognize a Palestinian state. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar criticized the Spanish policy at the time, calling it “antisemitic.”

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has long been a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, leading one of Europe’s most anti-Israel governments as he concomitantly faces domestic pressure from ongoing corruption allegations.

The Socialist leader has also angered U.S. President Donald Trump by refusing to let the United States use Spanish military bases for strikes against Iran.
Israel expels Spain from US-backed CMCC in Kiryat Gat over 'obsessive anti-Israel bias'
Israel expelled Spain from the United States' Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) in Kiryat Gat, according to a Foreign Ministry statement on Friday afternoon.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that this came "after Spain has chosen repeatedly to stand against Israel."

"Spain has defamed our heroes, the soldiers of the IDF, the soldiers of the most moral army in the world," Netanyahu said, adding that he is "not willing to tolerate this hypocrisy and hostility. I do not intend to allow any country to wage a diplomatic war against us without paying an immediate price."

Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar noted that the move, which was carried out in coordination with the United States, stemmed from the Spanish government's "obsessive anti-Israel bias."

"Spain's obsessive anti-Israel bias under Sánchez's leadership is so severe that it has lost all capacity to play a constructive role in implementing the peace plan of [US President Donald Trump]'s peace plan and the center operating under the framework of this plan," Sa'ar said.

Spain was notified of the decision.

The CMCC, which is a part of US Central Command (CENTCOM) was created in October 2025 in order to oversee and facilitate the flow of humanitarian, logistical, and security assistance from the international community into the Gaza Strip under Trump's Gaza peace plan.


IDF conducted 10,800 strikes, dropped 18,000 munitions during ‘Roaring Lion’
The Israel Defense Forces on Friday released figures on “Operation Roaring Lion,” saying it carried out more than 10,800 airstrikes during the war, dropping some 18,000 munitions on the Islamic Republic.

U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday evening announced that he had agreed to a 14-day “double-sided ceasefire” with Iran, with negotiations on a permanent end to the conflict slated to take place in Islamabad, Pakistan.


IDF slays commander in the Lebanese Resistance Brigades
The Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday that it killed Maher Qassem Hamdan, a commander of the Lebanese Resistance Brigades, in a strike in the Chebaa/Shebaa area of southeastern Lebanon on Wednesday.

Hamdan was responsible for terrorist recruitment, weapons supply, and funding the group.

According to the IDF, the Lebanese Resistance Brigades is funded by Hezbollah and its operatives take part in carrying out attacks on IDF troops and Israeli civilians.

Hamdan was killed along with eight other terrorists who were fleeing the Chebaa area, where they had been operating, toward the Sidon region.

“The IDF will continue to act with determination against the Hezbollah terror organization to remove any threat to the State of Israel,” the military said.

The IDF earlier Thursday said it had targeted and killed the personal secretary of Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem. Ali Yusuf Harshi “played a key role in managing and securing Qassem’s office,” according to the military.

The Israeli Air Force on Wednesday carried out its largest coordinated strikes on Hezbollah terror targets in Lebanon since the start of “Operation Roaring Lion” on Feb. 28.
IDF kills Oct. 7 terrorist in Gaza strike
The Israel Defense Forces on Thursday said it had killed a Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist who infiltrated the Jewish state from Gaza during the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, and, separately, two other terrorists planning imminent attacks.

Abd al-Rahman Ammar Hassan Khudari was killed earlier this week while advancing the Iranian-backed terror group’s plans to attack Israeli soldiers deployed in the Strip’s north, according to the statement.

Three Hamas terrorists were struck alongside Khudari, according to the IDF. The terrorists were killed to “remove the threat to our forces,” it added.

On Oct. 7, Khudari invaded Kibbutz Nir Oz, which was among the hardest hit communities during Hamas’s invasion of southern Israel, according to the IDF. One in four residents was killed or kidnapped, including the Bibas family, mother Shiri, husband Yarden and their two children, Ariel, 4, and Kfir, 9 months old.

Also on Thursday, the IDF killed two terrorists “who were planning imminent terror attacks against IDF troops,” the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit said on Friday.

Mahmoud Barim, a terrorist in the Kata’ib al-Mujahideen organization who monitored IDF troop activity and possessed a large quantity of weapons, was killed in the Gaza Strip’s south, the Spokeperson’s Unit said. In the northern Gaza Strip, the IDF killed Ahmed Mohammed Saleh, a Hamas terrorist who carried out and advanced numerous attacks on IDF troops. During the strike, additional Hamas terrorists were hit, the IDF said.

The terrorists “posed an immediate threat to IDF troops and were eliminated in precise strikes,” the statement read.

Israeli forces remain deployed in Gaza in accordance with the Oct. 10, 2025, ceasefire deal brokered by the U.S. and will continue to eliminate immediate threats, Thursday’s statement stressed.

On Thursday, the military also announced the elimination of a senior Hamas terrorist who doubled as a journalist for Qatar’s Al Jazeera outlet.

Muhammad Samir Muhammad Washah served as a “key terrorist” in Hamas’s rocket and weapons production headquarters, according to the IDF. He was also said to be involved in “the production and transfer of weapons through Gaza.”


The Times of Israel: John Spencer: US can force open Strait of Hormuz if it decides to
The fledgling ceasefire between the US and Israel on the one hand, and Iran on the other, is holding. Even before it went into effect, a pointed debate began over who won, and whether US President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu achieved what they set out to accomplish 41 days ago.

John Spencer, chair of war studies at the Madison Policy Forum, says that it is way too early to determine the outcome of the war, as it is impossible to know what the outcome will be. Negotiations on a long-term settlement have not even begun yet.

Moreover, Spencer argues, wars should be judged based on the stated goals of the campaign. Both Trump and Netanyahu made clear on multiple occasions that, though they would love to see the regime in Tehran fall, regime change is not a goal of the campaign.

And, he says, there is no guarantee that the regime survives. It often takes time for the public to rise up and topple oppressive rulers.

Spencer also notes that Israel is clearly stronger than it was on October 6, 2023, and Iran and its axis are much weaker.

As for the Strait of Hormuz, which emerged as a central factor in the war, Spencer does not doubt that the US spent plenty of time and resources planning for the possibility that Iran would close the waterway. He recalls war-gaming such a scenario 15 years ago as a US officer, and stresses that there is a permanent task force in the Pentagon to think about keeping the Strait open.

There are plenty of possible reasons for the US to decide not to force Hormuz open at this point, including global markets, diplomatic openings, and the potential costs of an operation.

Spencer says that in his eyes, Iran's strategy failed, in that it validated all the fears about it in the region, and is likely to push Arab states further into the arms of the US and its regional alliance.

The Brink: The dangerous myth about the Iran War | Air Marshal Edward Stringer
In this episode of The Brink, Andrew and Jake are joined by Air Marshall Edward Stringer, for a timely and wide-ranging conversation on Iran, NATO, and the future of Western power.

We explore the question at the heart of today’s conflicts: who is actually winning? Against the backdrop of rising tensions with Iran and a shifting global order, Stringer challenges the idea that military strikes alone can deliver lasting outcomes, arguing that without a clear political end state, even successful operations risk achieving very little.

The discussion looks at the limits of air power and modern warfare, and why technological superiority is no substitute for coherent strategy. Stringer explains how interventions can shape events in the short term, but cannot create stability on their own, raising serious questions about recent Western actions in the Middle East.

We also examine the state of NATO and Western defence more broadly. Stringer warns that capabilities have declined significantly, with the UK and its allies falling behind in readiness and resilience, even as threats become more immediate and complex.

Finally, the conversation turns to the bigger picture. From Iran and global energy security to the role of allies and so-called middle powers, this episode asks whether the West is entering a period of strategic drift and what it would take to reverse that trajectory.

Tucker Carlson’s personal ratings nosedive, as Trump slams his former ally
Tucker Carlson, the anti-Israel and antisemitic podcaster whose outspoken opposition to the Iran war has strained his relationship with President Donald Trump, has seen his personal ratings nosedive including among Republicans, according to a new YouGov poll.

The survey, commissioned by UMass-Lowell between March 26-30, finds Carlson’s overall favorability rating at a dismal 17%, with 38% viewing him unfavorably. Nearly one-third of respondents said they had no opinion of him, and 15% had never heard of him.

Among Republicans, Carlson’s favorability rating is now just at 31%, with 24% viewing him unfavorably, and 35% offering no opinion. (For context, a Manhattan Institute poll of Republicans conducted in December 2025 found 63% of Republicans viewed Carlson favorably, with 21% viewing him unfavorably.)

On Thursday night, Trump launched a scathing social media attack against Carlson and other like-minded podcasters, referring to Carlson as a “broken man” who never recovered from being fired by Fox News in 2023. Trump’s post also included biting attacks against conspiracy-theorizing podcasters Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly and Alex Jones, calling them all “nutjobs,” “troublemakers” and “low IQ” individuals.

The poll was conducted two weeks before Trump’s harsh salvos against Carlson and the far-right podcasters. That would suggest that their standing with conservatives has more room to fall in future polling.
