Council for a Secure America's Inaugural Israel-Iran War Report

On June 23, 2025, the Council for a Secure America (CSA) unveiled its inaugural Israel-Iran War Report. This document provides an essential evaluation of the conflict that erupted just a week prior, following the initiation of direct hostilities between Israel and Iran. The report marks the beginning of a series aimed at keeping a pulse on military developments, regional instability, and the wider geopolitical ramifications of this historic confrontation, which has escalated tensions in the region.

Modeled after its well-regarded Israel-Hamas War Report, and incorporating U.S. and Israeli national polling data along with expert briefings, the Israel-Iran War Report is intended as a resource for U.S. policymakers, defense analysts, educational institutions, the media, and organizations supporting Israel. Executive Director Jennifer Sutton remarked, "This report reflects CSA’s unwavering commitment to truth and national interest during this time of significant global volatility." She stressed the importance of unfiltered intelligence access for U.S. leaders, especially in the context of escalating military confrontations, including U.S. operations against Iranian nuclear capabilities and retaliatory strikes from Iranian proxies across the region.

The inaugural report covers the initial week of the Israel-Iran conflict, highlighting crucial military actions, including Iranian missile attacks, air operations by the Israeli Air Force, and confrontations involving Hezbollah and allied militias. It also provides insights into diplomatic maneuvers—or the lack thereof—by significant international actors while shedding light on mounting humanitarian crises in the conflict-affected regions.

Sutton emphasized the report's critical nature, describing it as a defining moment not just for the ongoing Middle East conflict but also as a pivotal test of the West's response to authoritarian threats. She stated, "Israel faces persistent and aggressive assaults, and the impact has far-reaching global effects. CSA stands firmly with the Israeli people and reinforces our resolve to keep the U.S. engaged, informed, and prepared to lead in these uncertain times. Access to reliable, nonpartisan information is more than a necessity during wartime; it's an imperative for national strategy."

The CSA Israel-Iran War Report aggregates open-source intelligence from reputable media sources, government entities, and academic research institutions. Each report is constructed to be accessible and suitable for broad distribution among policy experts, media, and community organizations. For a comprehensive understanding and detailed insights, the full Israel-Iran War Report is readily available through CSA’s official channels.

CSA is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to highlighting the significance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, energy security, and the role of the Abraham Accords in enhancing national security. The group routinely hosts briefings and research projects to underscore the importance of these connections. Following the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, CSA has continuously updated its reports, now expanding its focus with the launch of the Israel-Iran War Report.
