Since the outbreak of Operation “Roaring Lion,” and even more so against the backdrop of the escalation in Lebanon in recent weeks, the perception emphasizing Hezbollah’s importance as a strategic component of Iran’s security doctrine has grown stronger in Tehran. Hezbollah’s decision to join the campaign alongside Iran was perceived in Tehran as an expression of its commitment to the pro-Iranian axis in the region and of the continued relevance of Iran’s proxy strategy—which appeared to be eroding following the...
This interactive map documents Israeli strikes in Iran starting from June 2026. The map includes significant strikes across Iran and the region. Information is continuously updated and based on open-source intelligence (OSINT), visual documentation, official statements, and media reporting. The project aims to provide an accessible, data-driven, and up-to-date picture of developments related to the campaign.
The Data Analytics Center at the Institute for National Security Studies presents a real-time situation report regarding the military campaign on the Iranian and Lebanese fronts.
The report includes a dedicated dashboard featuring selected data, accompanied by an interactive map depicting the situation on the ground.
The data is updated continuously and as accurately as possible, based on intelligence assessments, open-source information, and media reports.
Since the outbreak of the war with Iran in February 2026, and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz which led to a decline in global oil supply, the demand for solar energy has grown at an unprecedented rate. In March, at the height of the war, China exported solar panels with a total rated capacity of 68 gigawatts (GW) — twice China’s solar exports in February, and 49% higher than the previous record set in August 2025. Oil-dependent countries around the world are accelerating their renewable energy programs, and in the Middle...
Recently, Ukraine has been emerging as a more prominent and assertive actor in the Middle East. While this trend does not suggest that Kyiv has become a system-shaping power in the region, it does indicate that its role is no longer limited to merely seeking aid and political solidarity. Against the backdrop of the war in Iran, Ukraine is offering regional states practical and unique operational experience in confronting the Russian-Iranian aerial threat. At the same time, Kyiv is increasing pressure on Russian interests in maritime...
Since the beginning of the war against Iran on February 28, the pro-Iranian Shiite militias in Iraq have claimed responsibility for hundreds of missile and drone attacks against local and regional targets, including Israel. These attacks are a clear indication of the severity of two security challenges: the growing political, economic, and military power of the militias in Iraq, and their operations in service of the Iranian regime, from which they continued to receive military support throughout the war. The new government...
In recent years, a growing trend has emerged in the West toward advancing legislation and public policy that define and address antisemitism and Islamophobia simultaneously and, at times, even jointly. While these initiatives are presented as a means to protect minorities, promote equality, and strengthen relations and dialogue between Jews and Muslims, addressing these two phenomena within a single legal framework might carry unintended consequences—specifically, blurring the lines between combating racism and normalizing...
The war with Iran has highlighted Pakistan’s role as an actor with growing potential for influence in the Middle East. Pakistan has sought to position itself both as a mediator between Iran and the United States and as a security guarantor for Saudi Arabia, while maintaining a delicate balance between preserving its strategic ties with Riyadh and the need to avoid a deterioration in relations with Tehran. From the perspective of some Gulf states, Pakistan has an important role to play in the regional security architecture that...
This dashboard report presents ten charts documenting the global economic effects of the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. From surging oil, gas, and jet fuel prices, to disruptions in aluminum and fertilizer supply chains, and mounting pressure on the global food price index, the charts together point to a single vulnerability in the global economy that evolved into a catalyst for a multidimensional crisis. The charts will be updated weekly and will continue tracking effects likely to persist well after the fighting subsides, as...
Key Findings
Approximately a month and a half into the ceasefire with Iran, the Israeli public is divided regarding the campaign's outcomes: only 41% believe that Israel has already won or will likely win, compared to roughly half who believe that Israel will likely not win or has already lost the campaign against Iran. The perception of victory is highly polarized politically: 70% of coalition voters believe that Israel has won or will win against Iran, whereas 74% of opposition voters believe that Israel has lost or will not win...
Israel’s international standing has suffered severe damage in the wake of the Gaza war. This decline is evident across most areas of national life—the economy, academia, culture, the security of Jewish communities in the diaspora, and most essentially – the basic legitimacy of the State of Israel and its right to defend itself. Attempts to isolate Israel are not new. They are rooted in disagreements over the appropriate resolution of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, ideological opposition to Israel’s existence, and internal...
A decade after its launch, Vision 2030 remains the defining framework for Saudi Arabia’s political and economic transformation under Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. While the initiative has delivered significant social change and political centralization, its economic achievements remain mixed, and the kingdom continues to rely heavily on oil revenues. The recent regional war with Iran further complicates the project, forcing Riyadh to divert resources toward security and risk management while undermining investor confidence. As a...
