There is no truth to the reports of a successful strike on Iran's Ministry of Defense HQ.

The projectile was intercepted and there is only very minor damage to a nearby building.

šŸ‡®šŸ‡· The text of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' Public Relations statement regarding the new wave of Operation True Promise 3 is as follows:

In the name of God, the most gracious, the most merciful

Whoever attacks you, attack him in the same way as he attacked you... Surah Al-Baqarah (verse 194)



ā–Ŗ In continuation of the joint offensive operation "True Promise 3" and in response to the Zionist regime's evils and aggression today, fighter jet fuel production facilities and the regime's energy supply centers were targeted with a large number of drones and missiles.

ā–Ŗ The offensive operations of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will continue with greater ferocity and spread if the atrocities and attacks continue.


ā–Ŗ The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) Aerospace Defense System, under the command of the Integrated Network and the country's Joint Air Defense Headquarters, successfully intercepted and destroyed three cruise missiles, 10 drones, and dozens of small aircraft attacking the Israeli military in the country's conflict zones.

Ori e buru ni?
Must you refer to me in your posts?
You're still here? I thought you said you were going to Israel to intercept some drones šŸ˜‚ Maybe you should start going because Iran has started firing hypersonic missiles too.

You can apply whatever technology you wanted to use to stop those drones to stop the missiles too. And thankfully, some of the drones have entered Israel as I type this. The missiles are also landing in Israel right now, so you can just intercept both at once.

And while you're at it, make sure to tone down on the disinformation, propaganda, and fake news you have been posting here all day. Plus, you appear so tensed and disorganized lately. Maybe you should rest a bit šŸ˜›

One thing certain is that Israel cannot stand Iran one for one...infact without the US Israel would easily be defeated by HAMMAS which is more or less a paramilitary unit

Despite its announcement of not supporting the entity in its war against Iran...

German Airbus A400M military #fuel tanker

It turned on its transponder over Jordan for a few seconds while refueling Israeli fighter jets during Iranian attacks. It is now off.

The German Air Force has been confirmed to be joining the defense of Israel, although its participation has not been publicly announced.

It was suggested that Israel be built and established in East Africa.
If that had happened, everything happening in Palestine would’ve been happening in Africa.

the attack on Iran by Israel was not a sneck attack, Israel was not negotiating with Iran the US is. The US was only holding Israel back during their negotiations with Iran.

You don't need to have fighter jet cover the whole sky to have air superiority over another person air space. Israel currently have air superiority over some part of Iran if not all.

Russia does not have air superiority over Ukraine.
Hahahaha. Novice everywhere. Hezbollah flying drones unopposed over Israel for hours is 100% air superiority over the whole of Israel. Missiles over Tel Aviv is 100% air superiority. Russia launching outside Ukraine airspace is complete air superiority. Drones, missiles or Aircraft are just means of delivering. You think when a nuclear war is unleashed there will be much time to fly a bomber? ICBM will do complete justice to the other side. Flying bombers are so 1950, they didn't work back then in Korea and Vietnam and won't be working today in Iran

pansophist:
I am quite surprised at the response from China and Russia on Israeli's first strike to Iran. The US will only give Israel a go ahead to strike Iran when it is convinced that Russia and China will not back Iran. Something tells me that Iran has been sacrificed for Russia to have their way with Ukraine. This is evident by the absence of the mentioning of Ukraine in the manifesto of the upcoming Nato summit in The Netherlands on the 24-25 June 2025. For example, in the 2024 Nato summit, the bloc announced that Ukraine's path to Nato was ''irreversible'', pledging an additional 40B usd for Ukraine's defences.

Furthermore, Hegseth announced on June 10 congressional hearing that the US will reduce military aid to Ukraine. I can cite more examples, but it is clear than Nato is phasing out Ukraine as a failed project. For China, the details of their meeting with Trump's negotiating team in London was undisclosed, but one thing we know is that China has resume sending rare earths to the US, albeit with a six month trial period. Also, Iran is a member of the SCO (Shanghai security organisation), which makes it more necessary to assist Iran militarily. Lets not forget that Russia helped Assad until they decided not to, and China helped Pakistan against India. So their silence with Iran is very suspicious. If Brics and the global south want to rise against western gangsterism, then a comprehensive, security architecture must be created, otherwise, it is a complete waste of time. China has a foreign policy of not aligning militarily with any country. They may sell you weapons, train your armies, but will not align with you in a bloc. For Russia, I do not see them aligning with anyone except with countries in the CSTO, but they will also train your armies and sell weapons. So can this conundrum be solved? Will Russia and China back Iran same way the US is backing Israel?
As usual, nice comment.

First, the belief that Iran is sacrificed so Russia has its way with Ukraine was similar to that of Syria, yet Ukraine, within the period Israel Assad got toppled over, has attacked Russia relentlessly. So, if the Syrian sacrifice analogy did not work, why do we think it is the same with Iran?

Second, at the bold, that got me worried as well. The terms, at least as known to the public, don't really favour the Chinese, as American chips are still banned from being sold to Chinese firms. Except for the removal of the ban on chip software services from companies like Synopsys and Cadence Design, Huawei and other major Chinese chip firms still face sanctions. The EU is still sanctioning Chinese firms for providing weapons to Russia, and the US is doing the same to Chinese firms that purchase Iranian oil.

CreativeOrbit:
Your response is built entirely on selective outrage, historical distortion, and a refusal to engage with the root causes of conflict. Let me respond directly, without ā€œlong-winded essaysā€ā€”just facts and principle.

1. ā€œHow do you deal with people who want you dead?ā€

You ask this as if Israel is a passive victim. In reality, Israel is the only side in this conflict with:

a fully equipped military,

nuclear weapons,

a decades-long occupation of another people’s land,

and a documented record of ethnic cleansing, blockades, and collective punishment.

Palestinians did not wake up one day and decide to ā€œhateā€ anyone. They were dispossessed, displaced, and dehumanized. The occupation—not religion, not race—is the source of resistance. When you steal someone’s home and bomb their children, you don’t get to act shocked when they resist.

2. ā€œThey teach their kids to hate you.ā€

And what does Israel teach its children?
That Arabs are ā€œtwo-legged beastsā€? That Gaza must be ā€œflattenedā€? That Palestinians are ā€œterroristsā€ from birth?

Israeli textbooks, politicians, and settlers are filled with hate speech, genocidal rhetoric, and open calls for expulsion. Extremism exists on both sides, but only one side occupies, bombs, imprisons, and bulldozes the other daily.

3. ā€œPalestinians and Iranians are genocidal.ā€

This is projection at its finest. The real genocide is the one backed by American weapons and carried out by Israeli jets—tens of thousands of civilians killed, including children, journalists, and doctors.

Iran’s support for Palestine is based on opposing occupation and apartheid—not religious hatred. If you truly oppose genocide, start by condemning those who commit it with airstrikes, siege, and illegal settlements—not those who resist it.

4. ā€œAbbas wants a Judenrein state.ā€

This is another distortion. Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) has publicly supported a two-state solution, and has long cooperated with Israeli security forces. You’re citing a dubious mistranslation of a comment allegedly made decades ago, taken out of context.

Meanwhile, it is Israeli politicians who regularly call for wiping Gaza off the map, or transferring all Arabs out of ā€œGreater Israel.ā€ So if your standard for outrage is rhetoric, apply it evenly.

And for the record: Jews have always lived under Muslim rule throughout history—in Baghdad, Cairo, Cordoba, Istanbul, and yes, even Palestine—without persecution. The Zionist project is not synonymous with Judaism, and opposition to Israel’s actions is not antisemitism.

In Conclusion:

You want a direct answer? Here it is:
Justice first, peace second.
No people under occupation is obligated to love their oppressor. The way to ā€œdeal withā€ Palestinians is not through mass punishment or dehumanization—it’s through ending the occupation, recognizing their right to self-determination, and applying international law equally to all.

If you want to be taken seriously, stop pretending that resistance is genocide while ignoring the decades of state violence that made resistance inevitable.
Palestinian hatred for Israel is not merely over land. Jews and others were dhimmis , the way ISIS demanded of others living within the territories they controlled. Pogroms against Jews in Israel didn't start in 1948.
Palestinians are not interested in the land.They want the Jews out . Iran is firing missiles which can't tell who is an Israel Arab or a Palestinian. Some of the 20% in Israel are happy with Iran hitting Israel even though they may die in the process.
Israel knows exactly what the Iranians and Palestinians want from them, Outsiders like you and liberals want to mollify Israel by believing their deity ordained rights to lie about their intentions.
An example. A useless fatwa by Khamenei is quoted by the west about Iran not needing a nuclear weapon. He can tell a microphone anything he doesn't believe in. The west uses that to bludgeon Israel. Fortunately Israel kmows exactly what their enemies want

I repeat. This can war can see the first EMP ever deployed Hopefully saber heads will prevail before we get there. Pakistami ( and frankly to me they never look intelligent) have offered nuclear umbrella to Iran Incase matters go South. Every other nation could get their hands on one in a few years.
You know where to get me if you want to understand why there is turmoil in the Middle East. Apparently you either know or you are out to deceive.
