- In Tel Aviv’s Persian market district, shopkeepers and restaurant owners share a unique perspective on the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. Many of them are Iranian Jews in Israel who fled the country after the 1979 Islamic Revolution and built new lives in Israel.
Now, as tensions rise during the US-Iran war, they find themselves watching a conflict between the country they now call home and the country where they were born.
RFE/RL correspondent Ray Furlong visits the neighborhood to speak with members of the Iranian Jewish community. These Iranians in Israel describe the situation as strange and emotional — seeing Israel under attack while hoping that the war could bring political change to Iran.
Despite the dangers of life in Tel Aviv during war, some still dream of returning one day to a different Iran.

- A single destroyed building in Tel Aviv is one of the few visible signs of the Iran-US war reaching Israel. Despite repeated Iran strikes on Israel, the Israel air defence system has intercepted the vast majority of incoming missiles and drones.
RFE/RL correspondent Ray Furlong reports from Tel Aviv, where the effectiveness of Israeli air defence is shaping Israel’s war strategy as the war with Iran escalates.
Iran has launched ballistic missiles and drones toward Israel, but many have been shot down before reaching their targets. Analysts say Tehran may now be running low on some missile systems, while still relying on drones that are easier for Israel to intercept.
Meanwhile, Israel continues intense strikes against Iranian targets and Iran-backed forces in Lebanon, including major attacks in Beirut’s southern suburbs and heavy strikes reported in Tehran.

- Description
- As the US-Iran war intensifies, questions are growing about the future of the Iran Russia alliance and how far Moscow is willing to support Tehran.
For years, Vladimir Putin and Iran’s leadership under Ali Khamenei built closer political, military, and economic relations, including a strategic partnership agreement and cooperation on drones and weapons. But the latest conflict in the Middle East is testing those ties.
While Kremlin news outlets once praised Iran as a key partner, some Russian commentators are now downplaying the relationship as the war unfolds. At the same time, Moscow has condemned the US-Israel strikes on Iran but has stopped short of providing direct military support. 
This video looks at how the narrative in Russian media is shifting — and what it says about the real limits of the Iran Russia alliance during a major regional war.

- Ukraine can teach the middle east about drone warfare and how to counter Iranian drone attacks. For more than four years, Ukraine has been at the center of a rapidly evolving drone war. Facing relentless attacks from Russia using Iranian drones, Ukrainian forces have been forced to innovate — developing new tactics, technologies, and a layered drone defence system to survive one of the most drone-saturated battlefields in modern history.
Many of the drones used against Ukraine were Shahed drones, supplied by Iran and launched in large waves to overwhelm air defenses. These cheap but deadly loitering munitions have become a defining weapon of modern drone warfare, forcing militaries to rethink how they defend their skies.
Now, as conflicts escalate in the Middle East, many countries are looking closely at Ukraine’s battlefield experience. From defending cities to building cheap kamikaze drones and layered air defenses, Kyiv’s hard-earned lessons are becom...

In this report from the front line of the Kupyansk battle, Ukrainian forces push back not only against Russian troops but also against what they call Russia propaganda Ukraine war narratives. The officer filmed himself twice to counter claims of an AI video and to show that reports saying Russia captures Kupiansk were false.
