  "account": "Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir had a successful 2025, leading Israel's Operation Rising Lion against Iran. This operation crippled Iran's nuclear program, radars, and air defenses, earning Zamir high praise. In October 2025, he negotiated a deal with Hamas to end the Gaza War and return hostages. However, challenges remain in 2026, with Iran still posing a threat despite being weakened. Zamir's strategy involves racing ahead of Iran in military advancements, while Iran's progress is limited by funds, preoccupation with survival, and lack of economic recovery. Additionally, the US has blocked China from supplying Iran with ballistic missile technology, slowing their progress. Despite Iran having fewer missiles than previously anticipated, Zamir acknowledges the existential threat remains.",
  "summary": "With China blocked by US from rapidly resupplying Iran’s ballistic missile materials, Zamir sees a shifting threat landscape across Israel’s fronts.",
