Iran Preparing for LONG WAR Against Israel, NATO as USS Nimitz Deployed to Middle East - Laith Marouf
Israel and Iran traded strikes for a fourth day on Monday, with casualties reported on both sides, as Israel took full credit for the bombing of an Iranian National TV station during a live broadcast. Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Tehran does not want to "expand the circle of war," but will respond "in proportion" to any attack.
Palestinian-Syrian Journalist Laith Marouf noted that as the U.S. reroutes the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier from the South China Sea to the Middle East, in preparation to directly enter the war they have been supporting against Iran... we are also seeing Iran preparing for a long war with not only Israel, but "the entire might of NATO" and "part of the ability to have this long war with the West is making sure that not all of your assets are exposed from Day One."

Netanyahu refuses to rule out Khamenei assassination - RT World News
Netanyahu was asked to comment on recent media reports claiming that US President Donald Trump rejected an Israeli plan to assassinate the Iranian leader out of concern over further escalation.
"It's not going to escalate the conflict, it's going to end the conflict," the Israeli prime minister replied.
"The 'forever war' is what Iran wants, and they're bringing us to the brink of nuclear war. In fact, what Israel is doing is preventing this, bringing an end to this aggression," he claimed.

Trump warns 'everyone' to flee Tehran - RT World News
US President Donald Trump has issued a cryptic warning on Truth Social, urging "everyone" to leave the Iranian capital as soon as possible, without confirming whether Washington will intervene in the ongoing tit-for-tat hostilities between Israel and Iran.
UPDATE 1:
Israel asks Iran, through intermediaries, to stop attacks, return to nuclear talks: US media
Israel has asked Iran, through western mediators, to stop its retaliatory attacks and return to nuclear negotiations with the United States, American media report.
The Israeli regime is openly threatening Tehran, while secretly reaches out to the Islamic Republic to stop the war, according to the American broadcast television network NBC that quoted a senior Iranian source in Tehran as saying on Monday that Tel Aviv has made the demand through Western countries as intermediaries.
12bytes: If this is true, it is unexpected. This could be an indication that one of Trump's Zionist brain cells is still being supplied with the sufficient amount of oxygen necessary in order to make a coherent decision, that being to not support Israel, however actual U.S. military movements (movement of aerial tankers) tell a very different story.

IRGC Statement on the Eighth Wave of Operation True Promise 3
Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC):
- To the noble Iranian nation, a new wave of air-to-air missile attacks by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has just begun, more powerful and destructive than before.
- In this operation, the command and control systems of the brutal Zionist regime, using modern methods and leveraging the capabilities of information equipment enhanced by the martyrs Bagheri, Salami, Hajizadeh, and other martyrs of the IRGC Aerospace Force, were able to disrupt the enemy's multi-layered defense systems, such that the regime's defense systems targeted each other.
- The initiatives and capabilities employed in this operation, despite comprehensive support from the United States and Western powers and the possession of the latest and most advanced defense technology, led to the maximum number of missile strikes on targets in the occupied territories.
- Today, we are witnessing the fulfillment of the sincere promises of Martyrs Baqeri, Salami, and Hajizadeh, who repeatedly declared that Operation Sadiq 3 and future operations would be more destructive, more precise, and more devastating than previous operations.
- This operation also demonstrated that the calculations and assessments of the aggressive Zionist enemy and the Americans against Islamic Iran were completely wrong, and now we must witness the collapse of the occupying Zionist regime.
- Supporters of this criminal regime must also know that effective, targeted, and more destructive operations against the vital targets of this false regime will continue until its complete destruction.
Victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the All-Wise.

Refueling for War: U.S. Air Force And Navy Mobilize for Potential Iran ConflictSouth Front
The U.S. Air Force has conducted a large-scale transatlantic deployment of Boeing KC-135 Stratotanker and Boeing KC-46 Pegasus aerial refueling tankers, with nearly 30 aircraft crossing the Atlantic overnight. While officially framed as part of NATO's Atlantic Trident 25 exercises, the unprecedented number of tankers suggests a far more urgent strategic purpose, preparation for potential military action in the Middle East, amid escalation between Iran and Israel.

Israeli causalities higher than publicly acknowledged numbers: IRGC chief - Tehran Times
"In one of the buildings we targeted - which was completely destroyed - 70 Israelis had taken shelter," he noted. He also stated that Iranian forces have successfully struck and destroyed "critical areas" within Israeli territory and vowed that the campaign will continue.
General Pakpour also declared that Iranian operations will continue regardless of any potential Israeli de-escalation. "Even if Israeli attacks stop, we will carry on until the end," he said.

Israel Bombs Iranian State TV Signaling Shift To Regime Change (Videos)South Front
Israel on June 16 struck the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) headquarters in the heart of the capital, Tehran, signaling a shift from its declared goal of crippling the country's nuclear program to complete regime change.

Israel Maintains 'Aerial Superiority' Over Tehran, Hits Dozens Of Missile Launchers (Videos)South Front
Israeli warplanes destroyed a third of Iran's ballistic missile launchers and disturbed "extensive parts" of its attacks on Israel, according to the spokesman, who said that a total of 65 ballistic missiles and dozens of suicides drones were launched at Israel in two barrages over the past 24 hours,
12bytes: I question the claim that Israel has destroyed 1/3 of Iran's ballistic missile launchers given that others have said that many of Iran's "missile launchers" are decoys. That said, Israel's fighter jets do seem to have a relatively free reign over Iran, at least for the moment.
Three social security employees and retirees killed in Israeli attacks in Tehran - Tehran Times
Hadis Fakhari, a human resources expert at the West Tehran branch, was killed alongside her eight-year-old child at their residence. Her husband remains in critical condition.

Deterrence or death: Israel is making the case for a nuclear-armed Iran - RT World News
Just hours after Israel launched its strikes on Iran in the early hours of Friday, June 13, US President Donald J. Trump declared that it was "not too late" for Tehran to return to the negotiating table over its nuclear program. The level of delusion displayed by the joint aggressors here is simply staggering. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu justified the bombs being rained on Iranian cities as a means to bring "freedom."
The US-Israeli axis sees no contradiction in reducing a sovereign nation to rubble while draping its aggression in humanitarian rhetoric. The strike came even as Washington and Tehran were engaged in protracted negotiations over the thorny nuclear issue. This is not diplomacy; this is coercion cloaked in diplomatic theater. Worse, it will go down as a day of infamy in international relations: a moment when negotiation was used not to resolve conflict, but to disguise premeditated violence.
Iran unveils latest suicide drone with 1,500-kilometer range - SabaNet

Iran has Missiles

Iranian Missiles Hit Air Defenses, Kill Or Wound Some 300 In Israel (Videos)South Front
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that some 40 missiles were fired and that air defense systems intercepted most of them. Still, multiple impacts were reported in the north, center and south of Israel, with Hebrew media reporting casualties.
12bytes: We know the IDF overstates their successes to a high degree, as was the case with their initial attack on Iran last year, and again with their attack on 13-Jun where it seems many of the targets that they claimed to have destroyed, such as radars and missile launchers, were nothing but decoys. In the case of the missile launchers this is evidenced by the fact that there were no secondary explosions in many cases. On the contrary, we have clear video evidence of Iran's missiles striking targets in Israel, and a lot of it. It should also be noted that many of the missiles that are being intercepted by Israel are decades old designs, though they are still effective in the sense that they overwhelm Israel's missile defense systems, thus some/many of them are hitting their targets. As of today however, it appears Iran is beginning to deploy more of its modern hyper-sonic missiles for which Israel (and the U.S.) have no proper defense.
I also learned from Alastair Crooke, a former British diplomat, that Mossad agents in Iran had planted car bombs which Israel then reported as successful IDF missile strikes. There are also reports of Israel using AI generated video to gin-up its alleged military successes, though to be certain, Israel and its intelligence assets did indeed deal a devastating blow to Iran on the 13th, though it seems very little of its military hardware was damaged, which is logical since most of it is kept deep underground.

Israeli 'surgical accuracy' means killing women and children, says Iran FM spox
Iran's foreign ministry spokesman, Esmail Baghaei, has debunked the propaganda of "surgical strikes, no residential damage" peddled by the Zionist regime, calling it "routine barbarity."
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, Baghaei pointed to the latest Israeli regime's aggression on civilian areas in the capital, Tehran, which primarily targeted innocent children and women.
"In just three recent strikes in Tehran, 73 women and children killed," Baghaei wrote. "20 children killed in Chamran residential complex, 10 still remain trapped under rubble 48 hours later."
One of the deadliest Israeli strikes in the wee hours of Friday morning targeted a residential building in northern Tehran's Nobonyad neighborhood, killing 60 civilians, including 20 children.
True Promise III: Iran's new missile barrage sends Israeli settlers fleeing and hits key targets
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) launched a fresh wave of missile strikes - the eighth since Friday - against the occupied territories as part of "Operation True Promise III."
At approximately 4:50 a.m. local time on Monday, hundreds of missiles were fired from Iran toward strategic and sensitive targets in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
The retaliatory operation, which was launched on Friday, is being carried out under the code name "Ya Ali ibn Abi Talib," coinciding with the blessed occasion of Eid al-Ghadir.
Sirens blared across the occupied territories as Israeli authorities ordered settlers to immediately seek refuge in underground shelters, according to Israeli media reports.
Videos circulating on social media captured Iranian missiles breaching multiple layers of Israel's air defense systems to strike their designated targets.
IRGC: Damages, losses inflicted on Israeli regime 'far beyond imagination'
"Approximately 20 hours after the enemy's initial assault, Operation True Promise III was conducted while the Zionist regime was at peak of defensive readiness. Having anticipated Iran's potential response, they had activated all their air defense systems and even secured airspace control over neighboring countries," Deputy Commander for Political Affairs Brigadier General Yadollah Javani said in an interview released on Monday.
Saying that the regime resorted to terrorist acts amid diplomatic engagements, he added that "they believed their strikes on Iran's military and missile sites had completely destroyed the Islamic Republic's defensive and offensive capabilities-leaving Iran unable to execute operations on par with True Promise I & II."
[...]
This unprecedented diversity of projectiles - never before deployed with such precision into the occupied territories - left the enemy in utter shock, he said, adding that the operation was so powerful that it went beyond what even Israeli authorities and US President Donald Trump anticipated.
While Iran openly shares images and news of its martyrs and wounded, the Zionist regime has resorted to military statements, intelligence agency bulletins, and even threats against civilians to prevent documentation-all in an effort to conceal the true scale of damage, destruction, and casualties.
"Yet, given the operation's massive scope, they've been forced to issue limited reports to their own public," he added.
Yemen, Iran launch coordinated missile strikes on Zionist entity
As the Israeli regime has initiated new aggression, this time against Iran, Yemen has launched yet another missile at the occupied territories.
The Yemeni army described the launch as historic as it came simultaneously with Iran's retaliatory strikes against the Tel Aviv regime.

Iran downs another American-made Israeli drone
The province governor's political-security deputy announced on Monday that the advanced drone of the Zionist regime was shot down by the Iranian military's integrated defense system.
"The drone, a General Atomics MQ-9, was hit by the defense systems of the Islamic Republic of Iran this morning (Monday) in the Ain al-Sawlah area of the Dasht Abbas district of the border city of Dehloran," Tajeddin Salehian said.
This was the fourth advanced Israeli drone that was shot down in the province.
12bytes: Looks like that "highly advanced" weaponry Trump brags about isn't so great after all. At roughly 30 million bucks a piece, Yemen's Ansar Allah has taken out at least 20 of these drones, so Iran has some catching up to do.
Iran Army unleashes drone swarm on Israeli targets in latest phase of True Promise III - Tehran Times
General Kioumars Heidari, Commander of the Ground Forces of the Iranian Army (Artesh), confirmed the operation in a statement on Monday, declaring: "In response to the Zionist regime's savage aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, our drone units have deployed dozens of destructive UAV systems to strike targets deep within the occupied territories."
[...]
The drone campaign which has effectively utilized domestic Iranian drones such as the Arash UAV complements Iran's proven ballistic missile operations, which have conducted at least eight waves of strikes since Friday. Reports confirm direct and destructive hits on high-value targets, including Haifa's oil refineries, Military-industrial sites in Haifa Port, and the Kirya military headquarters in Tel Aviv.
United States Sends Dozens of fuel Transport Planes Across Atlantic - SabaNet
Military Watch magazine reported that the US Air Force is conducting an unprecedented, large-scale transatlantic refueling operation from bases on the US mainland.
The US magazine reported that the number of KC-135 and KC-46 tanker aircraft continues to increase, with reports indicating that the number of aircraft has exceeded 30.
Reports indicate that aircraft from several Western countries are already participating in aerial refueling operations for the Israeli Air Force, facilitating airstrikes against targets inside Iran. This raises the possibility that the recently deployed US aircraft are intended for the same purpose: refueling Israeli aircraft during operations.
An equally important possibility is that these aircraft are intended to refuel US Air Force and Navy fighter and bomber aircraft, should the United States decide to expand its direct involvement in the war.

Killing Children as A Hobby - Politics news - Tasnim News Agency
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Yair Golan, the former deputy chief of staff of the Israeli army, is quite right in saying that Israel is killing children in Gaza as a "hobby".
This statement is made by a former senior general, not a civilian.
"A sane country does not wage war against civilians, does not kill children as a hobby, and does not engage in mass population displacement," Golan said in an interview with local radio station Reshet Bet.
Golan also said the Netanyahu government has "no morals".
Despite US Help Iran Delivers Crushing Blow to Zionist Regime. - 21st Century Wire
Iran initiated retaliatory strikes deep inside Israeli territory, targeting Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa, among other cities. Daily life seems to have ceased in the occupied regions as Israelis are forced to spend prolonged periods in underground bomb shelters. Despite significant Israeli censorship, a wealth of footage has emerged showing Iranian missiles and drones (Arash) accurately striking their intended targets. Sa'eed Montazer al-Mahdi, spokesperson for the Police Command of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has confirmed that several Mossad operatives have been arrested in Fashafuyeh, a district of Ray County in Tehran Province, as well as in Savojbolagh County, in Alborz Province. Iran Deputy Commander for Political Affairs Brigadier General Yadollah Javani said in an interview released earlier today that "the operation was so powerful that it went beyond what even Israeli authorities and US President Donald Trump anticipated."
