Iran

The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS) provides in-depth analyses on Iran’s regional activities and their implications for Israel. Key topics include Iran’s influence in Lebanon, particularly through Hezbollah, and its expansion into Africa, which poses significant security threats. JISS also examines Iran’s nuclear ambitions and the strategic responses required to counter these challenges. The institute emphasizes the importance of robust policies to address Iran’s subversive efforts and the necessity for Israel to maintain a strong deterrent posture.
