Iran fires volley of ballistic missiles at Israel, Beit Shemesh hit hard, at least 12 dead and dozens wounded nationwide as unrest escalates

The jets destroyed themselves in battlefront, not by enemy fire.

Botragelad:
Yes. Several jets crashed by who? 🤦🏼‍♂️
Show us the several jets crashed by Iranian missile them

US fighter jet has crashed in Kuwait during an Iranian missile attack on an American air base.

Video footage shows a US F-15E Strike Eagle spiralling downwards as flames engulf its engine six miles from the US Ali Al Salem base.

The fighter pilot appears to have ejected and landed safely. The status of the other crew member, the weapons system operator, is unknown.

It is not known whether the jet was shot down by an Iranian missile, hit by friendly US air defence rockets or suffered a technical malfunction.

Three US soldiers have been killed and five more injured since operations started on Saturday morning.

Donald Trump vowed to avenge their deaths but warned there would likely be more casualties before the war comes to an end.

The war expanded on Monday after Israel attacked Lebanon in response to Hezbollah firing retaliatory strikes over the killing of Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei.

Uranium missile, educate yourself. No just empty head and spewing gibberish, why not educate yourself or keep quiet and stop. Embarrassing yourself publicly.

Emmy000seun:
Even their fellow Muslim countries are distancing theirself from them..Iran cannot be trusted because if they eventually develop uranium missile, then they will be threat not only in the middleast but to the entire world.. their extremist agenda is out of this world..just like Libya, Somalia, Egypt, Morocco, and lots more

What do you even know about Iran? Educate yourself, Iranians are behind their leadership

UzorIyke:
Their fall is in the tip of their finger nail, that regime will soon fall, power must return to the good people of Iran.

The Jewish presence in what is today Iran is among the oldest continuous Jewish communities in the world, with roots stretching back over 2,500 years. According to historical records, Jews have lived in Persia since the period following the Babylonian exile, when Cyrus the Great issued a decree in the 6th century BCE permitting exiled Jews to return to Jerusalem—though many chose to remain in Persian lands and establish permanent communities. Over successive centuries, Jewish life took root in cities such as Tehran, Shiraz, Isfahan, and Hamadan, with synagogues, schools, and communal institutions that became integrated into the broader cultural and economic fabric of Iranian society. These long-standing historical ties are central to understanding how Jews remained anchored in Iran across millennia.

By the early 20th century, Iran’s Jewish community had grown significantly. During the reigns of Reza Shah Pahlavi and later Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, modernization and secular reforms expanded educational and economic opportunities for many religious minorities, including Jews. At the time of the establishment of Israel in 1948, estimates suggest that between 100,000 and 150,000 Jews lived in Iran, making it one of the largest Jewish populations in the Middle East outside of Israel. This demographic strength was supported by a diverse communal life, with schools, synagogues, and business networks that connected Jewish citizens with the broader society.

The 1979 Islamic Revolution marked a turning point for Iranian Jews, as it did for many segments of Iranian society. Immediately following the revolution, a large number of Jews emigrated, relocating to Israel, the United States, Europe, and other regions. Estimates indicate that tens of thousands left Iran in the years immediately following 1979. Despite this significant emigration, a core community remained within the country. According to demographic research, even decades after the revolution, thousands of Jews continue to reside in Iran, maintaining communal life and religious institutions. Contemporary estimates of the Jewish population in Iran vary, with figures commonly cited in the range of several thousand to a few tens of thousands, which makes Iran the location of the largest Jewish community in the Middle East outside of Israel.

Several factors have contributed to the persistence of the Jewish community in Iran. One is the deep historical and cultural connection that Jewish families developed with Persian society over many generations; for many, Iran was not merely a place of residence but a homeland shaped by shared language, customs, and collective memory. Another factor is the constitutional recognition of Jews as a religious minority in the Islamic Republic, which provides certain legal protections, including the right to practice religion, operate schools and synagogues, and hold a reserved seat in the national legislature. These formal provisions, while existing within the context of broader political dynamics, have created a framework under which communal life can continue.

In regional context, the endurance of Iran’s Jewish community stands in contrast to the experience of many other Middle Eastern Jewish populations, most of which diminished dramatically over the 20th century due to waves of emigration, state policies, and shifting social conditions. In some countries, Jewish communities that numbered in the tens or hundreds of thousands earlier in the century now number only in the dozens or have disappeared entirely. By comparison, the ongoing presence of Jews in Iran reflects a combination of historical depth, institutional continuity, and personal choices by individuals and families about where to live and raise future generations.

The result is a community whose existence today testifies to centuries of history and adaptation. While smaller than it once was at its mid-20th-century peak, Iran’s Jewish population continues to represent the largest Jewish community in the Middle East outside Israel, preserving communal structures and cultural identity amid changing political and social circumstances.

Iranian drone strikes US base ammunition warehouse in Iraq.

Explosive drones have struck a US military base near Erbil airport in northern Iraq, with reports that a weapons storage facility caught fire and secondary explosions continued as munitions detonated. Iranian one-way attack drones were said to have targeted the base in Erbil, part of Iraq’s autonomous Kurdish region. Footage from the scene showed flames and repeated blasts as ammunition ignited. There were no immediate official details on casualties.

Dubai Attack


The strike is part of a broader wave of retaliatory missile and drone attacks launched by Iran following US-Israeli air strikes on its territory. Tehran has targeted multiple countries hosting American troops across the Middle East, particularly in the Gulf.

Ofodirinwa:
this is not a major achievement, rather it's a sign of male entitlement in islamic society. I live in the US and every university you visit, when you meet a muslim 7 out of 10 times she's a woman. Why? Because the value of women is low in islamic society, and the value of men is automatically high. The result is the women understand they have to try much harder to be taken seriously or respected. They also want to have a plan B so that their husband doesn't control them too much because they understand their religion well. Parents only invest their energy in regulating the behavior of the female child because the male is perfect in their eyes from birth.

the result is not that Iran or any of the muslim countries are investing in women, rather, men don't feel the need to try and don't have the discipline to try because they are already entitled to a superior status. When muslim societies notice this, their next move is to ban women from going to school to sustain the control even through in the quran there's not strict prohibition of education for women.

Most of islam is about regulating young girls. Everyone else can run wild.

Did you manage to read the report or you have been brainwashed to believe certain narratives?

The Quiet Revolution: How Iranian Women Turned Classrooms into a Battleground for Progress

In 1979, when Ayatollah Khomeini's revolution swept Iran, many predicted it would send women back into the shadows. Schools would segregate. Dress codes would be enforced. Certain fields of study would be closed off. On paper, the forecast looked grim.

What happened instead was something no one quite anticipated.

Today, women make up over 70 percent of Iran's university students — a figure that would be remarkable in any country on earth. They dominate STEM fields, outnumber men in medicine, and in some years have enrolled in universities at twice the rate of their male peers. For a country where female literacy hovered around 35 percent in 1976, the transformation borders on the extraordinary.

The story begins not in lecture halls but in villages. The Islamic Republic launched the Literacy Movement Organization — a nationwide adult education initiative that sent thousands of instructors into rural communities, reaching women who had never set foot in a classroom. In the years that followed, female literacy in rural Iran climbed from just 17 percent to over 70 percent. Eleven million women, many of them elderly, learned to read and write for the first time.

At the primary level, the state made schooling compulsory and pushed infrastructure into underserved areas. Girls who previously had no local school suddenly had one. By 2017, 99 percent of Iranian girls were completing primary education — up from 36 percent in 1971.

But policies alone don't explain what followed.

Iranian women seized every opening available to them with a tenacity that repeatedly caught the state off guard. When universities reopened after the post-revolutionary cultural purge in the early 1980s, women flooded back in. They outperformed men on entrance exams. They graduated at higher rates. In a system designed with heavy ideological oversight, they excelled anyway.

There is an irony at the heart of it all. The very restrictions the state imposed — gender segregation in schools and universities, mandatory hijab, Islamic supervision — helped accelerate female enrollment in one crucial way: conservative families who had previously kept daughters home from mixed-gender campuses found the new Islamic university acceptable. The segregated classroom became the unlikely vehicle for mass female education.

By the 1990s, women were entering fields that had been effectively off-limits just a decade before — engineering, law, veterinary sciences. By 2018, female tertiary enrollment had risen from 3 percent in 1978 to over 70 percent. Nearly a 25-fold increase in a single generation.


Achievements of Iranian Women

The proof is not only in enrollment numbers. Iranian women have translated their educational gains into tangible, world-recognized accomplishments:

1. Iranian scientists among the world's top 1% — Iran consistently produces female researchers ranked among the world's most-cited scientists, particularly in chemistry, materials science, and engineering.

2. Maryam Mirzakhani — the first woman to win the Fields Medal[b] — In 2014, Iranian mathematician Maryam Mirzakhani became the first — and to date only — woman ever to win the Fields Medal, the highest honor in mathematics, awarded by the International Mathematical Union.

3. [b]Dominance in international science olympiads — Iranian female students regularly medal at international biology, chemistry, and mathematics olympiads, competing against students from countries with far fewer structural barriers.

4. Majority of medical doctors and pharmacists — Women now constitute the majority of graduates in medicine and pharmacy, reshaping the face of Iran's healthcare workforce.

5. Over 70% of university graduates in STEM — Iranian women outnumber men among STEM graduates, a ratio that surpasses most Western nations including the United States and the United Kingdom.

6. Nobel Peace Prize — Shirin Ebadi (2003) — Human rights lawyer and activist Shirin Ebadi became the first Iranian and first Muslim woman to receive the Nobel Peace Prize, a direct product of Iran's educated female generation.

7. Growing presence in scientific publishing[/b] — Iran ranks among the top 20 countries globally for scientific output, with female researchers contributing a rapidly growing share of peer-reviewed publications.


Economic sanctions have pushed dropout rates higher in provinces like Sistan and Baluchestan, where nearly half of girls still leave school early.

But the numbers tell a story that is difficult to dismiss. In classroom after classroom, Iranian women made a quiet calculation: whatever the state offered, they would take it . The result is one of the most dramatic expansions of female education in the modern world, born out of a revolution that fully intended it.

US President Donald Trump said he had installed Syria's President Ahmad Al Shara in office. Asked about the US response to the way Kurds are being treated in Syria, Mr Trump said: “The President of Syria, who I essentially put there, is doing a phenomenal job. He's a rough guy, not a choirboy, a choirboy couldn't do it – but Syria's coming together and coming together well.”

Mr Trump had repeatedly praised Mr Al Shara, calling him “handsome”, a “very strong leader” and saying that he has a “strong past”. Mr Al Shara was once the leader of a former Al Qaeda affiliated group called Hayat Tahrir Al Sham which toppled dictator Bashar Al Assad in a lightning offensive in December 2024.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) had been the US’s primary partner on the ground in fighting ISIS, receiving military training and support from Washington. An offensive led by government forces recaptured areas under SDF control, leading to clashes which ended in agreement, mediated by the US, to integrate Kurdish forces into state institutions.

The US has been making moves to thaw ties with Syria which had been frozen since 2012 – a year after a war broke out between the former regime and opposition forces.

Since Mr Al Shara took over, the US has removed Syria from its sanctions list, repealed the Caesar Act sanctions, and removed a $10 million bounty it once had on Mr Al Shara's head.

The Syrian President gave a special thanks to Mr Trump “for responding to the call of the Syrian people, and to the members of Congress for recognising the sacrifices of the Syrian people”. He was speaking after a historic visit to Washington in November.

Most recently, the Trump administration set its sights on reopening its embassy in Damascus, 14 years after its closure. The administration sent a notice to Congress this month informing politicians of the State Department's “intent to implement a phased approach to potentially resume embassy operations in Syria”.

It was not immediately clear when the embassy would officially reopen.

The February 10 notification said that spending on the plans would begin in 15 days, the Associated Press reported.
