If and when the Tehran regime falls, what will happen to the ayatollah's apologists? Will they suffer amnesia and insist they were on the people's side all along? Time to take those screenshots—the reckoning can't come soon enough.

Let the Airstrikes Roll, Israelis Say While Dodging Missiles. Plus, Iranian Plot To Kill Trump Moves Through Court.

Can't stop, won't stop: Israelis have spent the last week ducking daily ballistic missile barrages as their leaders work to destroy Iran's nuclear weapon capabilities—and they're showing no signs of fatigue. That's according to a new Agam Labs-Hebrew University poll obtained by the Free Beacon's Andrew Tobin in Tel Aviv. It shows that 83 percent of Israeli Jews—and 70 percent of the overall public—"support the campaign to take out Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities." Only 1 percent of Jews and 16 percent of all Israelis "would have preferred continued nuclear diplomacy with Iran."

No melanin, big problem: When we published documents showing the Harvard Law Review uses race to select articles, the prestigious journal insisted they were taken out of context. Now, our Aaron Sibarium is back with 500 more of the review's internal documents—and they show that journal editors "eliminate more than 85 percent of submissions using a rubric that asks about 'author diversity.'"

What a US Attack on Iran's Secretive Enrichment Site Would Mean. Plus, MAGA Voters Cheer for Israeli Strikes.

Bringing in the big guns: On Monday night, Donald Trump abruptly left the G7 Summit in Canada to focus on the Middle East. Emmanuel Macron suggested he did so to work on an Israeli-Iranian ceasefire. Nonsense, responded Trump, who made clear that he left to pursue "a real end" to Iran's nuclear ambitions. By Tuesday afternoon, we learned what Trump thinks could bring such an end: a strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, most notably its secretive underground enrichment site in Fordow. What would that strike entail, and just how badly would it cripple Tehran's chances of producing a nuke?

Israel Flirts With Regime Change in Tehran. Plus, a Bad Day To Be an Iranian Regime Mouthpiece.

An ending, not an escalation: On paper, Israel has five formal goals for its military campaign against Iran, Knesset member Ohad Tal told our Andrew Tobin: destroy Iran's nuclear capabilities, eliminate its missile arsenal, dismantle its military production infrastructure, crush its ability to fund terrorist proxies, and deter future aggression. Regime change is not officially on that list. But unofficially, "I think that's what everybody hopes for," said Tal.

Weekend Beacon 6/15/25

As the U.S. Army celebrates its 250th birthday, we honor those who bravely go in harm's way, often far from home and rarely at a time of their choosing (unless you're the IDF). Speaking of war planning, Tim Bouverie is out with his latest book, Allies at War: How the Struggles Between the Allied Powers Shaped the […]

Sanctioned Palestinian 'Charity' Worked With Hamas—and Harvard. Plus, Iran Rears Its Head as Trump Expresses Doubt Over Nuke Talks.

With friends like these: Earlier this week, the Treasury Department sanctioned a sham Palestinian charity, the Addameer Prisoner Support and Human Rights Association, over its work with terrorist organizations like Hamas and the PFLP. Addameer has worked with entities in the United States, too—namely elite universities including Harvard, Yale, and Columbia.

Chinese AI Good, Israeli Aid Bad, Top Consulting Firm Determines. Plus, How the CCP Uses Harvard as a ‘Human Capital Recruiting Ground.’

Keeping our enemies close: Boston Consulting Group, a leading international consulting firm, has spent years—and raked in millions of dollars—training government workers in Hamas-friendly Qatar and communist China. In 2023, it agreed to endorse CCP principles in order to land a contract advising Beijing city officials on artificial intelligence. Now, our Alana Goodman reports, it's apologizing—over two of its now-former partners' work for an Israeli-backed aid project in Gaza.
