Iran just found Israel's weak spot and are now busy exploiting it remorselessly. And there's nothing Israel can do about it either! Right, so Iran hasn’t fired a shot, hasn’t launched a drone, hasn’t even rattled the regional cage this time, yet Israeli media are acting like the Ayatollah has kicked a hole through their living-room wall. And all it took was a news channel being launched in Iran in Hebrew. They’ve gone spare, because Israel’s built its whole information system on the assumption that it alone gets to decide what Israelis hear, and suddenly that assumption isn’t worth the bandwidth it’s broadcast on. The military censor can gag a journalist, but it can’t gag a VPN. It can control a newsroom, but it can’t control Tehran speaking Hebrew back at them. And when the state that censors everything it can starts panicking about something it can’t, you know the real story isn’t the broadcast — it’s the breach. Iran have moved on from 12 days of warfare back in June to launching information warfare instead! Right, so Israel has spent decades building a system that treats information as part of national defence, because it knows its politics, its military posture and its internal cohesion all depend on keeping control of the national story. And you can see that logic in everything the state does with its military censor, its gag orders, its wartime communications rules and its obsession with framing. It isn’t about transparency. It’s about containment. It’s about ownership. It’s about making sure the version of events that reaches the Israeli public is the one the government feels it can manage. But that entire architecture has been hit from a direction the state didn’t prepare for, because Iran has launched a Hebrew-language news service that sits completely outside Israeli jurisdiction, and the reaction inside Israeli media circles has exposed something the government never wanted the public to see: a censorship regime that works only until someone finds the door around it. Because this isn’t just another foreign broadcast. Iran isn’t speaking English to an international audience or Arabic to its neighbours. It’s speaking Hebrew, deliberately, directly, to Israelis, in a language the Israeli state assumed it could monopolise.
