Breaking! Iran is no longer the same Iran,’ says Netanyahu In his first news conference since the war began, Netanyahu says, “Iran is no longer the same Iran” and has suffered blows to the IRGC and Basij forces. Here’s what he’s said: Netanyahu says Israel is aiming to stop Iran from moving its nuclear and ballistic projects underground. Asked about Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei and Hezbollah’s Naim Qassem, Netanyahu said he wouldn’t take out any “life insurance” on those leaders. He said Khamenei was a “puppet of the Revolutionary Guards” who could not appear in public. He reiterated that they can create conditions for a regime change, but that it was up to the Iranians to take to the streets, saying “at the end of the day, it depends on you. It is in your hands”. Netanyahu said he spoke with Trump nearly every day and that they spoke “openly”. |

Khamenei avoided a video address that could give away his location Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei made his first big address to the Iranian public not in a video message or public appearance, but in a written statement read by state television broadcasters. It's a notable choice that shouldn't come as a surprise given the threats to his life, according to a leading Iranian affairs expert. "He obviously has to take extreme measures to protect himself physically," said Alex Vatanka, a senior fellow at the Middle East Institute, a think tank in Washington. "He's being hunted down, essentially." The health and current whereabouts of Khamenei are both unclear, after Iranian state TV previously indicated he had been wounded in the wave of U.S. and Israeli strikes that killed his father. Vatanka added that the new supreme leader may not have been ready to face cameras. "The reality is that this man was not necessarily prepared for this job. His father did not groom him in public for the role," Vatanka said. "Because the first impression is so important, perhaps his advisers said, 'You're not ready for your moment in the limelight, there's no need to rush it, and you can remain under the radar as long as you somehow communicate.'" |

The first glimpse of Khamenei's message shows his handwriting. Underneath the list is the short message: “In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.” From his large rathole, I guess.

Up to 3.2 million Iranians displaced by conflict, UN refugee agency says By Charlotte Reck Up to 3.2 million Iranians have been forced to flee their homes, the UN refugee agency (UNHCR) said on Thursday, warning the figure would likely rise as the conflict continues. Most have reportedly left Tehran and other major cities to seek safety in the north of the country and in rural areas, it said. “This figure is likely to continue rising as hostilities persist, marking a worrying escalation in humanitarian needs,” UNHCR Director Ayaki Ito said in a statement. The UNHCR said refugees in Iran, mostly Afghans, were particularly vulnerable given their limited access to support networks in the country. There is an urgent need to protect civilians and ensure that borders remain open to those seeking safety, it said. |
