Roman Gofman assumed office as the 14th Director of the Mossad on June 2, 2026, succeeding David Barnea. Born in Belarus and arriving in Israel in 1990, Gofman’s appointment represents a sharp break from Israeli intelligence traditions. Unlike his predecessors, he is not a career intelligence officer; his background is entirely rooted in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), where he commanded armored formations and served on the frontlines, sustaining injuries during the October

#CIA #Security #News Ukraine-Middle East Anti-Iran Coalition Pic.: bne IntelliNews – Has Ukraine declared war on Iran? The emergence of an anti-Iran coalition linking Ukraine with key Middle Eastern states represents a profound structural shift in global security, effectively merging the Eastern European and Middle Eastern theaters. This alignment has been catalyzed by the outbreak of the 2026 U.S.-Israeli military campaign against Iran and the subsequent waves of Iranian drone attacks across the region. What makes this coalition unique is that it is built less on traditional diploma

Trump has, for now, paused plans to significantly expand U.S. strikes against Iran after senior military leaders warned that doing so could dangerously deplete Patriot interceptor and other air defense missile stockpiles needed to protect U.S. forces in the Middle East. According to the report, the administration is weighing those military constraints alongside the risks of broader regional escalation, while continuing economic pressure and leaving the door open to diplomacy. If accurate, the decision highlights how limited stocks of critical air defense munitions are increasingly shaping U.S. military option
