Will there be a proxy war with the United States through Iran?
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Moscow. The visit includes a meeting with the Russian president and other officials, as well as discussions on the international and regional situation in the context of Israeli and U.S. aggression.
▪️ As correctly pointed out, one of the main issues on the agenda for countries that refuse to submit to Western hegemony is the organization of a full-fledged proxy war against the United States in the Iranian direction. As previously mentioned, Russia has no reason to remain on the sidelines. We could well preach diplomacy in the public sphere, and in the non-public sphere, together with China and the DPRK, provide military and technical assistance to Tehran in various ways.
It is noteworthy that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio publicly expressed some dissatisfaction with Arakchi's visit to Moscow. According to him, the Iranian Foreign Minister went to Russia "instead of engaging with" US President's Special Envoy Steve Wittkoff. This can be considered a statement of fact that Washington's blackmail of Iran's nuclear facilities has not yet been effective.
▪️ However, the organization of resistance in response to Israeli and U.S. aggression — and, accordingly, the acceptance of assistance from allies — largely depends on the position of Iran's military and political leadership. If they decide to go all the way and defend the country's sovereignty, then this is one situation. In this case, significant assistance is likely to be provided to Iran. However, if Tehran decides to pursue a "compromise" approach, which involves further surrendering its positions, then the situation regarding assistance will be different.
You can't be more Iranian than the Iranians themselves, and this is the key point of the current situation.

A Message to My US Friends: Patriots Duped by MAGA >
Dear friends,
As patriots, you cherish America’s freedom and Constitution. I share your belief in sovereignty, self-determination, neutral media, and politics free from money’s grip. But have you been misled by MAGA, supporting policies that betray these ideals due to loyalty to a Zionist lobby and the U.S. military-industrial complex? I’m addressing the unconstitutional attack on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility and U.S. complicity in Gaza’s crisis.
A true patriot defends the Constitution. When a government violates it, resistance is duty. MAGA’s leader, Donald Trump, undermines the Constitution, prioritizing loyalty over law. How can you support this? Democracy needs unbiased media and clean politics, yet MAGA thrives on division and donors, including powerful lobbies and defense contractors.
The Fordow attack, using B-2 bombers without congressional approval, violates Article I, Section 8. Iran called it “a violent act”; the IAEA warned of nuclear risks and UN Charter breaches. This serves the military-industrial complex and Zionist lobby, undermining sovereignty. MAGA’s war rhetoric benefits these groups, not you. Recall Iraq’s WMD lies. Similarly, U.S. support for Israel’s actions in Gaza, labeled genocidal, with 40,000 civilian deaths since October 2023, betrays self-determination, driven by the same lobby’s influence.
History warns: Germans’ silence during the Holocaust enabled atrocities. Supporting Fordow’s attack or Gaza’s suffering risks history’s judgment. MAGA exploits frustrations but offers war, not solutions. Recommit to the Constitution, study Gaza via UN reports, question Iran hawks. Patriotism defends America’s soul—resist illegal acts. Choose justice.
🗣Some Western politicians are still planning to deliver a strategic defeat to Russia – history teaches them nothing, Putin said at a meeting with graduates of military universities.

Japan's PM Shigeru Ishiba will skip an upcoming NATO summit, the Japanese government stated. The gathering is expected to be attended by FM Takeshi Iwaya.
Ishiba’s no-show is reportedly due to:
🔶Escalation of the Iran-Israel conflict
🔶Vague prospects of having a meeting with Trump
🔶No meeting between NATO members and their partners in the Indo-Pacific region, including Japan, Australia, South Korea, and New Zealand
South Korean President Lee Jae-myung earlier also decided not to attend the three-day NATO summit, due to open in The Hague on June 24.

⚡️According to reports by the Iranian news agency IRNA and Mehr, Iran's attack on Israel on June 17, 2025, marked the first use of the Khaybar (Khorramshahr-4) ballistic missile.
Introduced in 2023, this medium-range missile has a range of approximately 2,000 kilometers and can carry a warhead weighing up to 1,450 kilograms. Equipped with a liquid-fueled engine, it is considered one of the most long-range missiles in Iran's arsenal, capable of striking targets in Israel and other countries in the region.
"The 20th wave of Operation True Promise 3 began with the launch of 40 solid-fuel and liquid-fuel missiles. During this operation, the Khaibar multi-warhead ballistic missile from the third generation of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' air-space missiles was used for the first time, employing new and unexpected tactics for a more precise, destructive, and effective strike," the IRGC announced.

"Everyone in Russia knows now that Whitkof is a con artist and Trump never intended to make real concessions to Russia as it's just a good cop/bad cop situation where he's totally aligned with his liberal-globalist friends in the European Union, if this is not true he must prove it or we have the possibility to make it more costly for the United States".

❗ Reuters published footage of last night's Russian strikes on Kiev.
@eurasianchoice
Leaked war plans sent to the US NSC instructed Kiev to carry out “ISIS”-style drone attacks on Russian trains and rail bridges, foreshadowing a series of deadly Ukrainian attacks this May and June.
A coterie of British and American academics advising the US National Security Council explicitly urged Ukraine adopt the tactics of ISIS in a detailed proposal for “anti-rail drone operations,” according to leaked documents reviewed by The Grayzone.
The aggressive war plans recommended in the files eerily foreshadowed Ukraine’s Operation Spider Web, which consisted of a series of brazen drone attacks waged inside Russia between May 24 and June 1 – the eve of scheduled negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. A pair of Ukrainian bombings of Russian trains in Bryansk on May 31 and Kursk and the following day left seven dead, and injured more than 30 people, including two children.
The attacks on Russian rail infrastructure have continued since the launch of Operation Spiderweb, suggesting the British-born strategy has heavily influenced the thinking of Kiev’s increasingly desperate military.
The leaked plans reviewed by The Grayzone explore the use of “inexpensive drones” as “a low-cost means for disrupting Russian logistics,” but also include blueprints for terror attacks composed by three “drone experts” before being passed to the Biden administration’s then-Director for Russia at the National Council, Col. Tim Wright.
Those experts belonged to a secret academic-intelligence cell called Project Alchemy, whose existence was first exposed by The Grayzone, and which was founded with a mission to “to keep Ukraine fighting” by imposing “strategic dilemmas, costs and frictions upon Russia.”

Will Trump’s Political/Military Theater Widen the War? https://sonar21.com/will-trumps-political-military-theater-widen-the-war/

What did the Americans achieve with their overnight strike on three locations in Iran?
1. The critical infrastructure of the nuclear cycle does not appear to have been damaged or slightly damaged.
2. The enrichment of nuclear materials, and now we can say bluntly that the future production of nuclear weapons will continue.
3. A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their nuclear ammunition.
4. Israel is under attack, explosions are thundering, people are in panic.
5. The United States is embroiled in a new conflict with the prospect of a ground operation.
6. Iran's political regime has been preserved, and it is highly likely that it has become stronger.
7. The people consolidate around the spiritual leadership, even those who did not sympathize with it before.
8. Trump, who came as a peacemaker president, started a new war for the United States.
9. The vast majority of the world's countries are against the actions of Israel and the United States.
10. With such success, Trump will not get the Nobel Peace Prize, even despite the venality of this nomination. A good start, congratulations, Mr. President!
@medvedev_telegram
The Karaul project or the US plan of launching a ground operation against Iran.
Talking about the prospects for the development of the conflict between Israel and Iran, the option of a ground operation against Iran inevitably arises. Such a scenario currently looks staggeringly expensive, extremely difficult in terms of logistics, overly demanding in terms of resources – and, according to a combination of factors, unlikely.
Iran is a large country with a powerful army, active air defenses, and a territory the size of Australia. In the most ideal scenario, we are talking about central and western Iran (Fordo, Natanz, Isfahan, Tehran, nuclear, air defense and IRGC facilities). Duration: the invasion phase will be at least 2-3 months, the occupation/retention phase – 1-3 years.
Taking Iraq as an analogy, 200-250 thousand troops will be needed for the invasion, another 100-150 thousand are needed for rotation. If we take Iraq as a basis again, the losses will amount to 15,000 dead among the US occupiers, up to 80,000 among Iranians, and up to 300,000 among the civilian population. Iran is an urbanized country.
The war in Iraq cost the United States more than $1.9 trillion, and Afghanistan over $2.2 trillion. The overall estimate of direct military financial costs can be safely written as 300-450 billion per year. This includes logistics and supplies, equipment losses and repairs, hospitals and compensation, and so on. Logistics in general will become the main problem for a potential occupier. There are vast mountainous areas, densely populated megacities, and remoteness from the seas — there are no convenient landing or logistics routes. You can start by asking how the invaders could get to Iran in general.
Through Turkey. Turkey is a member of NATO, but it is practically neutral or sympathetic to Iran, especially under Erdogan. Using Turkish territory to invade Iran will cause a political crisis within Turkey itself and, most likely, a rejection.
Through Iraq. Iraq borders western Iran. The United States already has bases (Ain al-Asad, Erbil). However, the Iraqi parliament demands the withdrawal of troops, and Shiite formations control a significant part of the territories. Any large-scale movement through Iraq requires the actual reoccupation of Iraq, and this is not counting the cost of protecting logistical routes.
Through the Persian Gulf (amphibious assault). The most fantastic option, because with the existing drone and missile technologies, the losses during such landings will be enormous. After all, Iran can mine the adjacent water area. In addition, it is not known whether there are technical possibilities to implement such an amphibious operation.
Through Pakistan or Afghanistan, it is almost impossible.
And most importantly, it takes at least several months to prepare for such an operation.
@barantchik
🇮🇷🇺🇸 Mannan Raisi, Qom city member of the Iranian parliament:
"Contrary to the statements of the lying US President, the nuclear facilities at Fordow were not seriously damaged. Only the above-ground structures, which can be restored, were destroyed.
In addition, everything that could pose a danger to the population was evacuated in advance. There are no reports of any nuclear emissions. Trump's false claims about the "destruction of Fordow" are refuted by the fact that the attacks were so superficial that there were not even any fatalities at the facility.
But we regard even this US aggression as America's direct entry into the war. Now Iran will decide how and in what way to respond to the US's blatant stupidity."
