IDF: Iran's nuclear program was set back by years.

Iranian parliament speaker: We will now accelerate Iran's nuclear program!

Iran has announced the arrest of 700 people accused of collaborating with Israel. Many will be publicly executed.

There was an explosion at an apartment building in Tehran a short time ago. Casualties are reported.

Lots of speculation that Israel was involved.

As they say, the Mossad is never party to a ceasefire.

Trump: We’ll strike Iran again if they restart the nuclear program.

Trump: Significant progress in Gaza talks.

Trump left a thorn in his own side.

The ayatollahs will never be anything but a destabilizing force. Leaving them in power only guarantees a future of instability and conflict.

Trump suggests that Israeli agents visited Fordow after the US strike and verified its destruction.

This is the site of the explosion in Tehran earlier today. Definitely looks like a bomb.

Question is if it was Israel, or if there are internal forces in Iran starting to take action.

Trump: Iran won't enrich uranium again. That's the last thing they want to do.

In other words, Trump insists what we're hearing from Tehran today is all talk; they won't follow through.

Trump: Israel has been great. Bibi Netanyahu can be very proud of himself.

Israel killed the guy who was transferring Iranian money to Hezbollah.

Iran’s parliament enthusiastically chants “Death to America…Death to Israel” after today’s vote to suspend cooperation with the IAEA.

Israel's Air Force made history:

During Operation "Rising Lion," it succeeded in penetrating Iranian defenses and carrying out unprecedented, sustained attacks.

These missions included the following:

• 1,200 airstrikes
• 600 aerial refuellings
• Over 80 anti-aircraft batteries and 250 ballistic missile launchers destroyed
• Thousands of precision-guided bombs dropped

And not a single plane or pilot lost.

These impressive figures will go down in the history books.

😳 Many Israelis a short time ago received an incoming missile alert.

It was a technical error. The IDF quickly clarified that it was conducting a review of the early warning system and sent the message by mistake.

Iranian media acknowledges that the country's nuclear facilities were badly damaged in American and Israeli airstrikes.

Israeli airstrikes in central Gaza a short time ago.

It’s an art form to claim victory in defeat! While the Iranian regime strives to proclaim a “victory over Israel” in its propaganda, prominent commentators from the Arab world paint a different picture.

The war against Israel marked a historic turning point—not just for Tehran, but for the entire regional power structure.

Iran was exposed—militarily, strategically, and ideologically.

Three prominent voices from Yemen, Iraq, and the United Arab Emirates speak of the collapse of a myth.

Netanyahu: We thought it was important to undermine the Iranian regime in the time we had, but it's not like if we continued the attacks for a few more days the regime would collapse - such a coup would have to come from within.

I still maintain that a few more days of Israeli strikes on the IRGC and other regime enforcers had a good chance of giving the people the confidence they needed to rise up.
