They've been doing this every single day for what? the last two weeks?

Lure starving people out with food and then open fire on them. Gazans know this is happening, but they have to choose between starvation or squid game.

I've never cried so much in my life as I have this last year. I see it, I feel it, but the fucking depravity of it seems impossible. I can't get myself to comprehend it. How could you be there. In that sad place. Looking at these tormented, frail children, with their lost and frightened eyes... and not fall to your knees weeping uncontrollably.

An opposer of Iran's government posted this on her social networks: she does not follow Netanyahu's instructions to attack her country and goes on to defend the Persian nation.

Translation:

Netanyahu told the people of Iran last night that those who want freedom of dress and independence should separate from Iran and join Israel, create chaos and unrest in the country, and take to the streets so that he can attack their military positions and change the regime for them. But fortunately, even I and my generation, who used to disagree with our government about freedom and demanded freedom of dress, have now changed our minds, and we will not make any moves against our dear country, and we will stand side by side, with or without the hijab, until our last breath for the sake of our dear Iran.

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.

Oh, look the white euro master race might graciously permit Iran to continue being a sovereign state on the other side of the world.

Iran was, after all, guilty of the crime of being sneak attacked by a rabid fascist dog.

The altruism of the white european oligarch is legendary.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳 BREAKING: The law of ceasing all cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been approved by the Parliament and the Guardian Council, and the law was signed by the president.

Iran will now officially have NO cooperation with the IAEA, meaning NO inspections.

Iran is warning Israel:

Occupied territories will not be 'inhabitable' Before launching this latest round of missile strikes, the spokesperson of the Armed Forces issued a stern warning to the Israeli settlers: Leave while you can, as the occupied territories will not be “inhabitable." “Warnings for you in the coming days: Leave the occupied territories, because, certainly, they won’t be inhabitable in the future,” Colonel Reza Sayyad said on Sunday.

You know what as much as I really really really wanted Americans to suffer, I have to say that the Iranians are clearly very happy about this outcome. Whether this ceasefire lasts even a week I don't know, but I sure hope there is some advancement on the counterintelligence front. They need to ally with Xi "I killed all of the CIA agents in my country" Jinping. If you still live in one of the Fourth Reich countries I recommend you leave.

🇰🇵 🇮🇷 Pyongyang, June 23 (KCNA)

A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on June 23 as regards the U.S. military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities:

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea strongly denounces the attack on Iran by the U.S. which severely violated the UN Charter with respect for sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs as the basic principle and norms of other international laws and violently trampled down the territorial integrity and security interests of a sovereign state.

Opposing the threat and exercise of the force blocking the territorial integrity and political independence of a country in international relations is the purpose, principle and fundamental spirit of the UN Charter reflecting the general will of the international community.

The present situation of the Middle East, which is wholly shaking the basis of international peace and security, is an inevitable product brought by the reckless valor of Israel which has promoted its unilateral interests through ceaseless war moves and territorial expansion and by the Western-style free order that has tolerated and encouraged it.

Israel’s and the U.S. acts of further aggravating the tension in the Middle East and causing serious negative consequences to the global security structure by dint of physical strength under the pretext of the so-called "peacekeeping" and "threat removal" are amplifying serious concerns.

The just international community should raise the voice of unanimous censure and rejection against the U.S. and Israel's confrontational acts.

—❗️🇷🇺/🇮🇷/🇺🇳 Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov:

'I completely understand if Iran wants to suspend all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Grossi is now insisting that Iran grant the agency immediate access to its nuclear facilities to verify the whereabouts of enriched materials and assess the situation on the ground.

But where are the assurances that this information won’t be leaked? I see no such safeguards. There is no confidentiality at all.'

I was watching the Tel Aviv livestream and the sirens started blasting. And then silence. And then in the dark night sky you see some little orange dots. Rockets were fired from nearby. The Iron Dome probably. And all of a sudden there were explosions, followed by silence, follewd by explosions.

Absolutely surreal to see.

Iranian state television displays a graphic of U.S. bases in the Middle East titled: "Within the fire range of Iran."

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

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls on Iran to return to the negotiating table, urging diplomacy as tensions in the Middle East escalate.

Update:

UK informed of US strike on Iran but not asked to get involved: Minister

Britain was not involved in the US strikes on Iran and didn’t receive a request for its Diego Garcia base to be used, but it was informed ahead of the attack, Trade Minister Jonathan Reynolds says. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will spend the morning talking to allies, Reynolds told Sky News.

Hopefully that is true. Let's see.

I've never seen so much international love and support for Iran in my life. Was the 1979 revolution this celebrated?

🇮🇷🇮🇱| In an interview on the Israeli I24news network:

“The Iranian Fordow nuclear facility can only be destroyed from the inside. Let’s stop with illusions and fantasies—it can only be done from within, or with 100’s of bombs dropped one after another.

What’s troubling is this: We set a goal to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program—but we failed to do it. Iran still has enriched uranium, and it still has key (untouched) active facilities.

And I say this with great caution: The Iranians have not said their final word. Those who don’t understand the Shiites, the Arab world, or the Iranians don’t realize that as the Bedouins say: Revenge is served cold.

This was a mistake. Trump truly made a huge blunder. I hope we won’t be the ones to pay the price for Trump’s blunder.”

You'd think this kinda news would be on the front smack dab of the page for the past week, but no. Not even the past day.

Same with worldnews on best. 7 articles down you get Israel justifying it's strikes over "nuke-design" while Ukraine-Russia fills the page.

Stormfront certainly has their priorities straight.
