Israel’s cutting-edge Iron Beam laser defense system is set to become operational by the end of 2025, according to Defense Minister Israel Katz, who highlighted its role in enhancing national security and deterring future threats.
The Sunday announcement reinforces previous projections, albeit with some delays.
Originally, officials expected the system to be deployed much earlier, with past estimates from former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett and other defense leaders predicting readiness as early as 2023.

However, with a $500 million production deal signed last year between the Israeli Defense Ministry, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Elbit Systems, the project is now in its final stages.
Iron Beam is a high-powered, ground-based laser system designed to intercept short- to mid-range threats, including rockets, UAVs, and cruise missiles. Bringing cutting-edge laser defense from concept to reality, it will complement the Iron Dome, offering a more cost-effective defense solution — each laser shot costs as little as $2, compared to tens of thousands per Iron Dome interceptor.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
