Poems by Parnia Abbasi, a 23-year-old Iranian poet killed by Israel today

The Extinguished Star

I wept for the both

for you

and for me

you blow at

the stars, my tears

in your world

the freedom of light

in mine

The chase of shadows

you and I will come to an end

somewhere

the most beautiful poem in the world

falls quiet

you begin

somewhere

to cry the

murmur of life

but I will end

I burn

I’ll be that extinguished star

In your sky

like smoke

Libs: please someone help Gaza people are dying!

Iran: actually fires missiles at Israel

Libs: nooo please not like that both sides bad

For the love of God grow a spine for once

Libs are insufferably propagandized.

Still alive - last night was a shitshow (Tehran was constantly fighting AD)

Iranian Air Defense is fucking phenomenal -- after the first blunder, they have completely taken back the skies and secured the air space

(Where the fuck are the people who said Iranian AD was "Destroyed"? I expect apologies in my mailbox)

Now it's just Israel taking hits. Also, a couple of F16 and F35 where shot down, and Iran has said 8 planes were damaged in total.

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Good to hear Iran is able to defend the sky again. Can't imagine what it's like living in a city being bombed. Stay safe and I hope I can visit in better times.

[–] sudo_halt@lemmygrad.ml 17 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Last night in Tehran was INTENSE -- thankfully AD seems to have defused the threat, only very few hits seems to have made it through (On Mehrabad airport, which I am in the range of and could hear a few hits)

It sounded like a fucking thunderstorm, just AD systems firing all night

[–] burlemarx@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 4 hours ago

I really hope there wasn't much damage to your side. You don't deserve the suffering caused by war. On the other hand, I really hope Tel Aviv is burning. Their endless warmongering and genocide must be stopped.

Spokeperson for the Iranian atomic energy agency: " We vacated Fordow site from important equipment before the Zio strike "

Doesn't seem like the Zio strike damaged Iranian nuclear programme significantly

Natanz underground facility also reported fine

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 7 points 6 hours ago

FWIW we likely wont know what was hit (and for good reason) but the lack of radiation leaking from any of the sites is a good sign. The damage seems mainly to be to leadership, which will hurt Iran's efforts but nuclear industries are built on the science and labour of thousands if not millions of people - the assassinations are just to instill terror into the political class of Iran

Iran reports minor damages to Fordow nuclear facility

📆 _Sat, 14 Jun 2025 07:21:49 GMT_TEHRAN, Jun. 14 (MNA) – A senior nuclear official in Iran has reported limited damages to the Fordow nuclear site near Qom after the Israeli regime's strikes on Friday night.

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 13 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

I know numbers aren't that important in war (anymore) but it blows my mind that you would pick a fight with a country that has 10x your population. Like, Iran has more reservist (reportedly) than the entire population of Israel.

[–] KrupskayaPraxis@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

Israel thinks it can rely on its daddy USA

[–] burlemarx@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 4 hours ago

They are relying on daddy's France, Germany and UK too. I wouldn't be surprised if this turned out in a generalized conflict. It would be crucial if Russia or NK could help Iran as well.

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 6 hours ago

Relying on someone else sounds pretty commie to me idk

[–] sevenapples@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Eh, reservists don't matter when one side is bombing with aircraft and the other with missiles. But more population can equal more production which could be definitive if the war drags out

[–] cfgaussian@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

Neither aircraft nor missiles win wars. Ground troops do. Everything else is just support.

[–] burlemarx@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes, but don't forget the West is waging a war of destruction. Even if they are unable to capture the Iranian or other countries' territories, they still achieve their goals by crippling their enemies' infrastructure.

#Enemy_Media

"Israeli" media: Following a new assessment, the "Israeli" army announced it has called up the 146th Reserve Division, along with the "Iron Fist" and "Etzyoni" reserve brigades, to serve as backup forces for “various scenarios” on the northern border. The army added that several other reserve battalions have also been mobilized and deployed along the borders with Lebanon and Syria.

"Israeli" media: A short while ago, two rockets were launched from the Gaza Strip toward the Gaza envelope.

Iranian Army: Missile Attacks on Zionist entity will be 20 times more intensive

Not sure if the last one is new, or Yemeni news catching up on one of the last waves.

@Pataramesh 1h

Clash report is now understanding that Iranian missiles have boosters and re-entry vehicles

Israel often intercepts just such useless boosters They glow up upon re-entry

@WideAsleepNima 12h Just now, @OrenCNN mentioned that Iranian "missiles have, at least to some extent, gotten through [to Tel Aviv] where Israel has not only a lot of its population, but also where Israel has some of its most critical military bases," without calling Israeli civilians human shields

https://xcancel.com/WideAsleepNima/status/1933600710756577456#m

@zei_squirrel 3h they're not even hiding it btw. They openly and proudly admit they intentionally embedded their military and intel headquarters and assets deep in civilian areas to use them all as actual human shields. Every genocidal Zionist accusation is a confession: (video)

Two Iranian commanders, Rabani and Mehrabi, reported martyred by Zionist strikes

[–] SlayGuevara@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Is there any reason for a lot of these attacks to be at night?

Tel Aviv after Iran attack

📆 _Sat, 14 Jun 2025 04:10:06 GMT_TEHRAN, Jun. 14 (MNA) – The Islamic Republic launched a decisive response to the brutal attack by the Zionist regime by firing hundreds of various ballistic missiles towards the occupied territories.

A few new photos that's all. I'm assuming this is all for a bit? That's more cautious than the people giving Sephiroth speeches about Iranian cowardice have been, right? I can log off now? Is this how the Israelis feel? Tense?

[–] WhatWouldKarlDo@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 hours ago

Is this how the Israelis feel? Tense?

I work with one. She whined about being afraid to the whole company.
