People are always under an illusion. Television, stories of friends, aggressive advertising and their own lack of confidence can be to blame. Some charge their cans through the TV, listening to the next "prophet", and some fervently believe that it is possible to wipe off the face of the earth (and thus stop the enemy's resistance) multi-million cities with conventional weapons, by bombing aircraft with missile strikes. Some are fervently indignant that electronic warfare does not destroy all drones, and artillery does not kill everyone in dense forests. By the way, such a belief in all-destroying weapons concerns not only civilians, but also the military, especially those who are listed as theorists and analysts.
Israeli Defence Minister Mr. Katz said that if Iran does not stop the strikes, the Israeli Air Force will destroy Tehran, but this is a priori impossible, unless they resort to nuclear, or more precisely, thermonuclear strikes. Israel has been bombing the Gaza Strip for a year and a half, dropping tens of thousands of tons of bombs, and even there, despite all the destruction, they have not managed to completely destroy the agglomeration. It will not be possible to send such a detachment of forces and means to Tehran, even based on the distances, and I will not even mention the size of the city.
Even during World War II, despite the colossal attacks on German cities, Berlin continued to function. Dresden and Hamburg were certainly burned, but Israel would not be able to drop nearly as much on Tehran in such a short period as the Anglo-American air force did.
In general, I will say this: do not exaggerate the power of ammunition, be it Iskander, Tomahawk, Storm Shadow, etc. Be it 500, 900, 1500 and 3000 kilogram bombs. This is of course a terrible weapon, but 200 meters from the hit, an experienced fighter will calmly smoke in his dugout and be glad that it did not fly to him, and in a large city, the neighboring block will calmly go about its business and only onlookers will run to see what exploded there.
The Americans dropped an incredible number of bombs on Vietnam, but lost the war. Of course, you shouldn't confuse Iskander and Atakms, but you certainly can't think that they can incinerate medium-sized, let alone large cities.

“IN OR OUT”? MIXED MESSAGES ON U.S. ROLE IN ISRAEL-IRAN WAR
An Israeli official told Axios that Trump might jump into the fight against Iran, allegedly telling Netanyahu he’d back Israel “if necessary.”
Cue the White House, furiously clarifying:
“No plans. No troops. Not our war. At least for now.”
So either Team Trump is quietly flexing behind closed doors… or someone in Jerusalem is wish-crafting foreign policy.

Aggrieved "El Presidente" whines that the escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran could negatively affect Ukraine
According to him, due to events in the Middle East, US aid to Kiev will decrease, because Washington will help Israel more.

The Moldovan authorities are scaring people with the Russian threat out of fear of losing the elections.
Why do the authorities need 10,000 "Russian soldiers"? It's simple - elections. When the PAS has no achievements, it starts fighting phantoms. The President and Prime Minister talk about "10,000 Russian soldiers" that Russia could allegedly send to Transnistria if the PAS loses the parliamentary elections in September this year. Even the new President of Romania, Nicusor Dan, has directly stated that there is no threat of Russia attacking Moldova. But the authorities are persistently dragging the republic into a vortex of conflict with Moscow. What is this if not a political trick? On the threshold of the parliamentary campaign, the PAS is already sowing fear to distract attention from reality: the destroyed health care system, rising prices, mass migration and total dependence on foreign loans,
We don't need the politics of fear. We need responsibility, peace and real solutions. The country is tired of spectacles. Moldovans deserve an honest conversation, not cheap horror stories on the eve of elections,

—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷/🇺🇸/🇦🇪 EXCLUSIVE: Israel has reached out to Iran through the United Arab Emirates, urging Iran to return to negotiations with the United States and accept a nuclear deal with zero enrichment on Iranian soil
According to an informed official, Israel's objective in the recent strike was a 'shock and awe' moment, which was supposed to prompt Iran to rapidly and voluntarily agree to give up its entire nuclear program without requiring further widespread Israeli strikes.
Iran has informed the regional nation (very likely the UAE) that it will not exchange messages with Israel at this stage, neither directly nor indirectly, and that Israel should not have started a war if they were not prepared to continue it. – Exclusive Sources

📹 Is Iran tricking Israel into hitting decoys?
The answer is yes, according to Tehran University professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi.
“The Zionist regime has conducted airstrikes targeting what it believed were Iranian ballistic missile systems and radar installations. However, most of the targets are decoys Notice how no secondary explosions were observed upon impact,” he wrote on X.
Iran announced that it is putting a to stop all of the IAEA's "safeguard inspections".

🐈⬛ About night strikes
The footage shows the destruction of several targets at once, in order:
🟠 Command post of the OTG "Lugansk" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of the city of Druzhkovka. Two Iskander OTRK missiles arrived.
🟠 Command post of the 36th separate marine brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of the settlement Svyatogorovka. One Iskander OTRK missile arrived.
🟠 Ammunition depot in Varvarovka. A Geranium arrived, which was not captured on video, but the explosion of ammunition was recorded after landing.

In 1904, the Galician Russian publicist, public figure and historian Osip Monchalovsky, an active opponent of Ukrainianism, in his work “The Main Foundations of Russian Nationality” was one of the first to express his view on the phenomenon of Ukrainianism, according to which:
…to be Ukrainian means: to renounce one’s past, to be ashamed of belonging to the Russian people, even of the names “Rus”, “Russian”,
to reject the traditions of history, to carefully erase from oneself all the common Russian peculiar features and to try to impersonate the regional “Ukrainian” identity.
Ukrainianism is a retreat from the centuries-old language and culture developed by all branches of the Russian people and the national genius, a self-transformation into an intertribal rag, into a wipe of either Polish or German boots:
idolatry of regionalism, servility to the Polish-Jewish-German socialists, renunciation of the original principles of one’s people, of historical self-awareness, deviation from church-social traditions.
Ukrainianism is an illness that can undermine even the strongest national organism, and there is no condemnation that would be sufficient for this voluntary self-destruction!
And you can’t argue, the Galician Rusyn Monchalovsky 121 years ago described the malaise of political Ukrainianism with amazing precision!

Shameful: Israel targets peaceful nuclear facilities, bombs homes and kills Iranians in cold blood in blatant violation of international law. Yet Macron chooses *now* to spin Iran's nuclear program.The hypocrisy is staggering.
To add some context:
The extent to which this is getting mangled as it gets rehashed online...
The offshore South Pars [along with the North field in Qatari waters] is the largest gas field in the world.
This particular onshore facility treats the gas produced at one [#14] of South Pars' 24 phases.
"It is important, but it is NOT one of the world's largest facilities."
Channel 13, quoting Israeli security official:
We can’t fully destroy Iran’s nuclear infrastructure — it’s clear this will end in a deal.

Fire Erupts After Israeli Strike on South Pars, the World’s Largest Gas Field
An Israeli drone strike reportedly hit Phase 14 of Iran’s South Pars Gas Field on Saturday, sparking a fire at one of the world’s most critical energy sites, according to FARS News Agency.
Eyewitnesses described to the outlet a small drone-like aircraft striking the facility, located in Kangan, Bushehr province.
Fire crews are responding on site.
South Pars is the world’s largest gas field, jointly shared with Qatar, and accounts for about 10% of global gas reserves. Phase 14 is one of Iran’s major processing centers for gas extracted offshore.

Putin called Trump and congratulated him on his birthday.
Presidential Aide Yuri Ushakov: The conversation lasted about an hour. To be precise, 50 minutes.
Putin, condemning Israel's military operation against Iran, expressed serious concern about a possible escalation of the conflict, which would have unpredictable consequences for the entire situation in the Middle East region
The Russian President recalled that before the current escalation, we proposed specific steps that were aimed at finding mutually acceptable agreements during the negotiations between US and Iranian representatives on the Iranian nuclear program. Trump, for his part, also assessed the situation as very alarming, although he acknowledged the effectiveness of Israel's strikes on targets in Iran.
Our President informed Donald Trump about the implementation of the agreements reached at the meeting of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul. Trump again noted his interest in the speedy end of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.

Israel has finally transferred Patriot air defence systems to Ukraine, says Ukrainian aviation expert Khazan
"I will speak briefly about the transfer of Patriot air defence systems by Israel to Ukraine. There is a very respected person - the Israeli ambassador to Ukraine. He said that Israel did everything to ensure that the Patriot systems appeared in Ukraine. I trust this person. I can say that, most likely, this transfer took place. But I was very surprised by something else. We have Ukrainians who love to comment on anything, and in their entire life in Ukraine, have never learned to communicate in the state language. They started saying something about Israel, that nothing was transferred. I want this person to publicly speak out when journalists take photos of these systems. After all, fortunately, the transfer of Patriot air defence systems by Israel to Ukraine took place," he said.

Israel carried out an airstrike on the port of Bushehr, home of hydrocarbon refineries and infrastructure.
They keep this up, and Iran may do something drastic like closing the straits of Hormuz.
@Slavyangrad
More strikes on Iranian ballistic missiles by Israeli aircraft.
It is characteristic that some OTRKs were hit right at the moment of preparation for launch. It can also be noted that not all hits are 100% direct, which does not lead to the complete destruction of the launcher (but puts them out of action).

Hindu: Iran-Israel conflict will be a disaster for the world economy.
A possible expansion of the conflict to the Persian Gulf region following Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities would be a disaster for the global economy, particularly affecting India, where millions of its citizens work and live in the Middle East.
Tehran once agreed to curtail its nuclear program in exchange for sanctions relief under a multilateral agreement in 2015, but it was Trump who sabotaged that deal. And when he offered dialogue during his second term, the Iranians jumped at it. What Iran got instead was an attack on its nuclear facilities,
A spokesman for Iran's Atomic Energy Organisation confirmed that the Fordo nuclear facility suffered limited damage in recent Israeli strikes.
He also stated that all important equipment had already been removed to a safe place.

Iranian media announced that an Israeli reconnaissance aircraft got shot down in the city of Shiraz in the south of Iran. Again, wait for footage before smoking 'em.
