  Simple vineyard growing practice impacts soil microbiome deep below surface

  Pennsylvania is the fourth-largest wine producer in the United States, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture. The industry supports nearly 11,000 jobs and directly contributes $1.77 billion to the state economy annually. In an effort to produce more and better grapes at a lower cost and with less environmental impact, vineyard growers have increasingly planted grass between rows of vines. These groundcovers root shallowly, but can benefit vineyard soils and reduce the need for herbicide applications.

  

• Empowering Iranian people: Key to US victory Added: Apr 10, 2026

  The US can beat Iran at its own game, and without boots on the ground

  The United States can win a war of attrition against Iran by empowering the Iranian people, imposing economic and geopolitical pressure, and aligning U.S. strategy with the aspirations of the Irani…

  Iran isn’t trying to defeat the U.S. in a conventional war. It is trying to exhaust it. For decades and in this war, Tehran has pursued a disciplined strategy of imposing steady costs. It kills Americans through proxies, disrupts energy markets, raises gasoline prices, and rattles financial systems until U.S. political will collapses. Iran is betting that the legacy of “forever wars,” combined with domestic polarization, will once again force Washington to walk away. It is a strategy built on a simple assumption: The U.S. cannot sustain a long war of attrition. That assumption is wrong if the U.S. chooses to fight on its own terms. Iranian leaders believe they can win because the U.S. has little appetite for a large-scale ground invasion, the kind many analysts argue would be required to dismantle the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and topple the regime. They may be right about America’s reluctance to deploy troops. But they are wrong to conclude that this makes American victory unattainable. The U.S. can win a war of attrition against Iran, but only if it stops fighting on Tehran’s terms. Victory does not require occupation forces. A ground invasion would strengthen the regime’s narrative, potentially unifying the population against the U.S. while imposing unsustainable costs. The path to victory lies in exploiting Iran’s internal vulnerabilities and aligning U.S. strategy with the aspirations of its people. Early predictions of rapid regime collapse were naïve. They underestimated both the ideological zealotry of Iran’s leadership and its willingness to use extreme violence against its own population. The regime has spent decades hardening its security apparatus and perfecting repression. The Revolutionary Guard, which dominates major sectors of the economy, is deeply invested ideologically and financially in the system’s survival. The central question is not whether Iran can be defeated quickly, but whether the U.S. can win a long war of attrition without deploying large numbers of troops. The answer is yes — if the Iranian people become the center of U.S. strategy. Nearly half of Iran’s population consists of ethnic minorities with longstanding grievances against the regime. At the same time, millions of Iranians, including the majority Persian population, have repeatedly risked their lives to protest clerical rule. These are not marginal actors. They represent a population disillusioned with the regime and open to a different future. This is the decisive terrain of the conflict. The U.S. should prioritize empowering these internal forces, fostering a more unified opposition, expanding secure communications, and providing material support: financial, technological, and defensive/offensive capabilities to those willing to challenge the regime. Without the means to defend themselves, civilians remain vulnerable to the Revolutionary Guard and its Basij paramilitary, which use intimidation, torture, rape, and lethal force to suppress dissent. This is not nation-building. It is strategic alignment with a population that already seeks change. Washington must also define its objective clearly: a long-term pathway to regime change driven from within Iran. This is not a campaign measured in months, but a sustained effort measured in years. Iran’s leadership thinks in decades; the United States must do the same. A strategy of attrition on America’s terms must also include sustained economic and geopolitical pressure. Sanctions, especially secondary sanctions, must be rigorously enforced to erode the regime’s financial base. The United States and its allies must guarantee freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz through credible deterrence and coordinated diplomacy that brings Gulf, Asian, and European partners into sharing the burden of defending the commerce they depend on. Iran cannot be allowed to treat an international waterway as its own toll road. Equally important is disrupting Iran’s ability to export oil to China at discounted rates while threatening the Strait. Curtailing this trade would increase pressure on Tehran while reinforcing broader U.S. competition with Beijing. This approach strengthens America’s negotiating position. Iran does not respond to goodwill; it responds to pressure. Negotiations succeed only when the regime believes its survival is at risk. The United States should present clear, binary choices: comply with strict limits on nuclear and missile programs and end support for terrorist proxies or face sustained and escalating isolation. Skeptics argue this strategy is too slow. But the alternative, cycling between limited strikes and premature concessions has repeatedly failed. It allows Iran to absorb pressure, claim victory simply by surviving, and rebuild for the next round. A U.S.-led war of attrition, fought on its own terms and without boots on the ground, reverses that dynamic. It denies Tehran the narrative of endurance and forces it to confront simultaneous internal unrest and external pressure. There are already signs of strain. Economic mismanagement, corruption and widespread dissatisfaction have created visible cracks within the system. A patient, disciplined U.S. strategy can widen them. The Iranian people are the decisive factor. Unlike in Iraq or Afghanistan, large segments of Iran’s population are receptive to improved relations with the West. More than 80 million of its 90-plus million citizens, along with a capable diaspora, constitute a force for change that no external intervention could replicate. The U.S. must make clear that it stands not against Iran as a nation, but with its people against a regime that rules through repression at home and aggression abroad. This is not a war of choice. It is an ongoing conflict that has spanned nearly half a century. Allowing Iran to approach nuclear weapons capability while expanding its missile arsenal and proxy network only increases the risk of a far more dangerous confrontation in the near future. Victory will not come from invading Iran. It will come from outlasting the regime — economically, politically and strategically — while empowering the very population it fears most. Iran’s leaders believe time is their greatest weapon. But the U.S. can turn time into its own advantage. That is how America wins a war of attrition on its own terms: not with boots on the ground, but by aligning U.S. power with the one force the regime ultimately cannot defeat — its own people. Eric R. Mandel is the director of the Middle East Political Information Network and senior security editor for the Jerusalem Post’s Jerusalem Report.

  Dragonflies may see the world in a way that pushes beyond human limits—and surprisingly, they do it using the same molecular trick we evolved ourselves. Scientists discovered that these insects can detect extremely deep red light, even edging into near-infrared, thanks to a specialized visual protein strikingly similar to the one in human eyes. This ability likely helps them spot mates mid-flight by picking up subtle differences in reflected light.

• Israel’s next war will be driven by AI and tech | The Jerusalem Post Added: Apr 10, 2026

  Israel’s next war will be driven by AI and tech | The Jerusalem Post

  Site: The Jerusalem Post | JPost.com

  As alliances shift and technologies transform warfare, Israel must preserve its qualitative military edge.

  In the fog of war with Iran, whose long-term consequences may take years to fully understand, American and Israeli strategists are already preparing for their next conflicts. They recognize a central truth: Tomorrow's wars will not resemble today's.If the Iranian regime falls, Israel's primary adversary could change. Much depends on whether the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps tightens its grip or whether genuine political transformation empowers the Iranian people. A reconstituted, aggressive Iran would likely extend the close US-Israel strategic alignment. But such alignment cannot be assumed under every future scenario.Divergence of threatsThreat perceptions may diverge in the years ahead. If Turkey's current Islamist leader expands his hegemonic ambitions and hostility toward Israel, Ankara could become Jerusalem's principal strategic rival. Washington, however, is likely to continue prioritizing Turkey's role in NATO, putting US policy at odds with Israel's strategic assessment. Egypt, despite decades of cold peace with Israel, continues to consider Israel its primary adversary in its current military planning. Since Egypt is not an American adversary, Israeli strategic planners must contend with the possibility that Israel could face the largest Arab army alone in the coming decades. Each potential theater of combat would require distinct tactical approaches, as well as tailored weapon systems.The United States is primarily focused on China and Taiwan, whereas Israel faces regional threats shaped by a complex mix of state and non-state Shi'ite and Sunni jihadist actors. Today's shared US-Israeli military priorities – drones, missile defense, and cyber capabilities – are likely to evolve toward hypersonic missiles, advanced AI-driven warfare, and directed-energy systems. The most effective path forward is to strengthen the synergistic partnership in research and development, enabling both nations to maintain an edge over their adversaries, whether those threats are shared or different.Israel's distinctive advantage, from which the United States also benefits, begins with civilian-military integration. Start-ups, universities, elite units, and defense firms collaborate in near real time, allowing operational systems to be refined even during active combat. For the Start-Up Nation, innovation is not sequential; it is continuous.Artificial intelligenceWhen air superiority is established, as in the case of the Iran conflict, intelligence can be rapidly translated into action. Unit 8200 is reportedly advancing artificial intelligence to process signals intelligence at high speed, identify hidden patterns, and assist human analysts who would otherwise be overwhelmed by data. The objective is to shorten decision cycles while preserving human strategic control.The conflict with Iran underscores that anti-missile defense systems will remain a top priority for the foreseeable future. Research continues on the next-generation Arrow 3 interceptor, designed to integrate with satellite networks and enhance early warning and interception of long-range ballistic threats. As missile proliferation grows and saturation attacks become increasingly threatening, layered anti-missile defenses are becoming ever more essential.High-energy lasers, such as Iron Beam, may redefine the economics of air defense. Systems like Iron Beam promise to replace costly interceptors with low-cost energy shots, shifting the focus from Iron Dome interceptor stockpile endurance to sustainable power projection. The US is investing heavily in similar capabilities, and Israel's operational experience positions it as both partner and proving ground. However, laser systems capable of engaging ballistic missiles remain years away, as Iron Beam is currently limited to targeting projectiles within 10 km. Looking ahead, air-based laser systems – unhindered by terrain – could become a critical component of future air defense strategies.Electronic warfareElectronic warfare is another critical component of both US and Israeli arsenals. The Scorpius system, developed by Israel Aerospace Industries, employs electronically steered beams to jam enemy radar and communications networks.Cyber capabilities complete this integrated framework. As systems become more automated, cutting-edge offensive and defensive cyber tools are essential to disrupt enemy infrastructure while protecting one's own. Israel integrates military, academia, and industry in cyber research and development. Companies such as NSO Group are at the forefront of advanced cyber development for national security, while the Israel National Cyber Directorate brings in private actors and coordinates Israel's cyber defense policy.Israel cannot lose a war nor appear vulnerable. A former Iranian president's description of Israel as “a one-bomb country” captures the existential threat underlying its security doctrine. Regional adversaries are patient; they outlast American administrations and wait for political winds to shift. That patience exposes an American weakness: Short-term political cycles often undermine long-term strategy.Israel's adversaries span Sunni jihadist movements, Muslim Brotherhood-inspired networks, Islamist-leaning states such as Qatar, Turkey, and Pakistan, and potentially a resurgent Iran. Ideological hostility toward a Jewish state in the Levant remains a unifying thread across otherwise competing actors.Innovation in this environment must extend beyond drones and missiles. It requires countermeasures against AI-enabled targeting, cyber intrusions, hybrid warfare, and technological surprise. Deterrence depends on observable superiority.Future MoUAs Israel negotiates a future memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Washington to preserve its qualitative military edge, difficult American political realities loom. Advanced systems once exclusive to Israel may be exported to regional actors such as Turkey, Qatar, and Saudi Arabia. The F-35 Lightning II illustrates this dilemma: Even if export versions lack Israeli modifications, perceptions of a narrowing technological gap can erode deterrence.Reliance on US platforms carries inherent political risks. Supply chains and spare parts depend on executive approvals shaped by public opinion. Statements such as the claim that the US entered the Iran war because of Israel's actions do not resonate well with Democrats or isolationist Republicans.Friction with future administrations is inevitable, and their leverage can translate into Israeli vulnerability. Israel must therefore expand domestic production wherever feasible in munitions, interceptors, cyber systems, and indigenous upgrades to shared technologies, especially to counter adversaries acquiring advanced Chinese or Russian weapons platforms.Strategic diversification, such as technological cooperation and production partnerships with countries such as India, enhances Israel's independence while addressing shared concerns about Islamist threats. Expanding trade and joint innovation with nations across South and East Asia can further reduce reliance on any single partner. At the same time, the United States and Israel must, for the benefit of both nations, maintain a close alliance.Ultimately, Israel's decisive advantage lies less in hardware than in human capital. Its military-intelligence ecosystem identifies exceptional talent early, empowering young innovators with responsibilities uncommon in larger bureaucracies. This culture of rapid adaptation fuels both national defense and civilian technological leadership. Israel's future security will depend not only on superior platforms but on relentless innovation, institutional agility, and credible deterrence. Alliances may shift, technologies will evolve, but the imperative remains constant: Anticipate change before it arrives, innovate faster than adversaries, and ensure that deterrence remains unquestioned.■Dr. Eric R.
