The Post-War Pivot: Israel’s New Priorities for Iran
Six months after the regional escalation in June 2025, the strategic focus is shifting. While the U.S. remains confident that Iran’s nuclear capabilities were “obliterated” during the summer strikes, Israeli officials are sounding the alarm on a more immediate threat: a rapid industrial resurgence.
In a scheduled meeting with President Trump on December 29, PM Netanyahu is expected to prioritize Iran’s missile-production capacity and air-defense repairs over nuclear concerns. The meeting signals a push for a “maximum pressure 2.0” strategy that includes ready-to-go military contingencies should Iran continue its path toward rearmament.

The Agenda:
- Nuclear Reset: Israel claims Iran is trying to restore sites destroyed by the U.S. in June.
- Missile Surge: Reports suggest Iran is aiming for 3,000 ballistic missiles/year.
- The Ask: Israel wants Trump to keep “all options on the table,” including fresh kinetic strikes.
