Beyond the "Atomic Archive": Making Sense of Iran
In January 2018, through a clandestine operation that took place in Shorabad (a distant Tehran suburb), Israel obtained a large number of documents, which shed new light on the Iranian nuclear program. Along with more recent developments, the Archive suggests that Tehran?s weaponization efforts could be ? assuming that it remains dormant ? reactivated at any time. Irrespective of the exact fate of the provisions included in the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), Tehran?s enduring nuclear weapons expertise, and probable violations of its Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement (CSA) and Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) legally-binding commitments leave little doubt about its persistent intentions.

HOW TO PREVENT THE PERFECT STORM IN THE NASCENT MIDDLE EAST
Israel's Responsible Deterrence
This report addresses the current and future strategic landscape around Israel. It is based on many visits by FoII members to the region as well as on the professional judgement of the members of the High Level Military Group, an independent grouping of former Chiefs of Staff and Commanders from a dozen countries around the world that have been studying the behavior of the IDF and its enemies in recent conflicts. Thus, it is a fusion of political analysis and military assessment - what we consider to be a strategic study.2019-05-01 by Friends of Israel Initiative
