Asaf Rosenzweig serves as a central figure in Israeli media's international desk, primarily through his work with N12. His reporting is characterized by a high frequency of real-time updates on regional escalations, often leveraging a mix of primary source monitoring and geopolitical analysis. Rosenzweig has become a key conduit for information regarding the Iranian regime, specifically during periods of high tension involving the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the succession crisis following the death of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in 2026. His coverage often bridges the gap between raw intelligence emerging from regional social media channels and the broader strategic context required by the Israeli public. During the multi-front security crisis of mid-2026, Rosenzweig provided critical reporting on U.S. kinetic operations against Iranian targets, including the deployment of Tomahawk missiles and the subsequent diplomatic fallout between the Trump administration and Tehran. His work often highlights the intersection of military action and psychological warfare, such as the framing of leadership transitions in Tehran. Beyond Iran, Rosenzweig tracks strategic maritime routes like the Strait of Hormuz and shifting alliances in the Arab world. His reporting style is analytical and rapid, maintaining a significant presence on digital platforms where he provides continuous updates on diplomatic friction, such as Israeli-Turkish relations and high-level security meetings involving U.S. and Ukrainian officials.
