Getting the Cracker Peace Prize for committing war crimes on behalf of a genocidal war criminal rogue state, at the risk of starting a world war, and against the overwhelming opinion of most of the people of the world and world leaders... might just be crazy enough to work.

Marco "Gusano" Rubio: China should stop the closure of the Strait of Hormuz; Closure of the strait would be a provocation that we will respond militarily to
Well going to get some sleep now. Hopefully we live to see another day lol.
What gets me is that when Russian invaded Ukraine, we had wall to wall coverage for well over a week, after Gaza punched back to Israel, same thing, this, the news feels like it is already starting to dry up, atleast through the "normal chanels" tm
Also seeing reports of explosions in Damascus
🇮🇷 Statement by the Iranian Foreign Ministry:
The bellicose US administration will be held responsible for the extremely dangerous consequences of aggression against Iran. We will defend ourselves with all our might.
🔹This statement strongly condemns the barbaric US aggression against our country's peaceful nuclear facilities and emphasizes: this aggression, committed in collusion with Tel Aviv, has once again demonstrated the depth of depravity that reigns in American politics, as well as the level of hostility and hatred of the US ruling elite towards the peace-loving and independent people of Islamic Iran.
🔹The Foreign Ministry emphasizes: Iran considers it its right to firmly resist US aggression and the crimes of this rebellious regime, as well as to defend its security and national interests.
🔹The Foreign Ministry statement indicated that the US attack on Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities is a flagrant and unprecedented violation of the UN Charter, especially the principle of non-use of force and respect for the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of states, as set out in paragraph 4 of Article 2, a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and a crushing blow to the nuclear non-proliferation regime.
🔹The MFA also emphasizes: Iran recalls the responsibility of the United Nations, the Security Council, the UN Secretary-General, the International Atomic Energy Agency and other competent international bodies to immediately respond to this criminal lawlessness and considers silence in the face of this blatant aggression as an unprecedented and comprehensive threat to the entire world.
🔹The Foreign Ministry's statement calls on the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting, strongly condemn the US's criminal aggression against Iran, and hold the US accountable for grossly violating international norms and principles.
If things look bleak, let's remember that it was unprecedented for Israel to get bombed by other nations. Now Iran has the capabilities to inflict damage on Israel, this is a very good development on the anti-imperialist side.

People here have never stopped justifying the shelling of hospitals in the Gaza Strip, but the second they fire on a hospital here, suddenly everyone comes out against the violation of the laws of war. We are like the player who never stops playing dirty, but the second someone touches him, he throws himself to the ground and screams Foul.
Iran: "We are now in a full-scale war with the zionist entity"
Hamas:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
In a recurring daily bloody scene, the terrorist occupation army today committed a series of horrific massacres against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of around forty people due to bombings of homes and tents of the displaced, and live fire directed at starving civilians gathered around the American-zionist-controlled aid centers.
The occupation army targets only unarmed civilians and deliberately continues to kill dozens of them daily, following a systematic and bloody policy aimed at maintaining and escalating this brutal reality. The killing of children, women, and innocent people is a constant daily objective of the occupation army and a central feature of its criminal war against our people.
We call on international human rights and humanitarian organizations to assume their responsibilities, to document these massacres and horrific violations against our people, and to pursue legal cases in international and national courts, holding occupation leaders accountable as war criminals.
We also renew our call to our Arab and Islamic peoples and all free people around the world to escalate pressure on the occupation and its supporters in all forums, to work toward isolating and boycotting this fascist entity, to break the unjust siege imposed on our people, and to support their steadfastness in their battle for freedom, dignity, and self-determination.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: A total of 28 Mossad collaborators have been arrested in Tehran
@Middle_East_Spectator
Israel just bombed a TV station, IRIB, in Tehran
Watch: https://inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=pyNtoCKvPC8
Moments before the attack, Emami was saying: “Listen, what you hear is the sound of the aggressor. You hear the sound of the aggressor attacking the truth.” Jabari said these are going to be “extraordinary scenes”. “This TV channel is the most watched inside the country because foreign channels are banned inside Iran,” Jabari said. “So people use satellite dishes to access foreign media and channels and it’s very difficult most of the time, so this is the most accessible to the general public.”
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz, who said that “the mouthpiece of Iranian propaganda and incitement is on the verge of disappearing. The evacuation of nearby residents has begun”.

🚨 BREAKING:
Iranian media reports a massive explosion in Bushehr province — home to one of Iran’s main nuclear reactors.
WTF?
—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 NEW: Clearer picture shows two sets of three holes.
According to U.S. reports, 12 MOPs were used in total against Fordow, so each hole could consist of two consecutive MOPs.

Dutch media is unironically quoting Katz, who is calling Khamenei a 'modern day Hitler', while ignoring Katz' own genocide

Such a contrast to the fucking ghouls in DC
Heard a report that Netanyahu's house was among the targets in the last volley, guess we'll just have to wait to see if it was hit, inshallah
An interesting detail that goes almost unnoticed in the context of the attacks on Iran: the first missiles fired at Iranian territory flew almost simultaneously with the launch of the new rail route from China to Iran. The first train from Xi'an arrived at the Iranian logistics hub in April on May 25, 2025. This route has been coordinated and built since 2021, immediately after Iran and China signed a strategic agreement worth approximately $400 billion under the “One Belt and Road” initiative. The essence of the project is simple: industrial products from China now reach Iran directly by land, bypassing all U.S. zones of influence, military bases and sanctions control. Iran not only receives supplies, but becomes a key connecting transit hub:
In addition, the land route erodes the monopoly of maritime traffic, especially in conditions where the Strait of Hormuz and Suez are controlled by U.S. or pro-U.S. structures. Iran has gradually overcome its logistical isolation, becoming a link between China, Russia, India and the Middle East.
All this constitutes a geo-economic threat that the United States and its allies understand perfectly well. Therefore, it is not surprising that, simultaneously with the beginning of Iran's real integration into the trans-Asian logistics, an attempt to destroy it systemically is being initiated. The problem is not limited to the nuclear program. The issue is to prevent Iran from becoming a logistical hub for the new Eurasian architecture and gaining sufficient strength.
Analysis from a Cuban Telegram. It is worth sharing here
Good morning to you all. It seems like the Iranian missiles did some serious damage now.
An Iranian official is also saying that they will stop when Israel stops.
🇺🇸🇮🇱❌🇮🇷NBC, citing two security officials and a senior White House official, reported:
－The Trump administration is preparing for the possibility of retaliation from Iran, and the next 48 hours will be particularly worrisome.

Three Israeli people supposedly died
Little kid ass statements make the entity look weak and stupid. Are they going to rip their shirts off and fight 1v1 with swords in the desert?
Unprovoked aggression against Iran has no basis or justification: Putin
—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Washington Post: 'Israel will only be able to maintain shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles for 10 or 12 more days, then they will need to start rationing munitions'
This could explain why Iran is opting to launch small but consecutive waves. Iran is likely using up some of their older / less sophisticated missiles to deplete Israeli defenses, to make way for the 'real' stuff later on. This is attritional warfare.
In most cases, a small wave of 3-5 Iranian ballistic missiles is enough to prompt the launch of about 10-15 Israeli interceptor missiles, with each one costing at least $12 million dollars (in the case of THAAD).
In contrast, even Iran's most modern missile, the Fattah-1, only costs about $200,000 to produce, according to the IRGC. If we assume 12 interceptors for one Fattah-1 missile (as seen in a video today), that means Israel is spending $144 million dollars to 'intercept' (not always successfully) a single Iranian hypersonic missile.
This is simply not sustainable. Within about two weeks, if Iran keeps up the current pace of fire, Israeli airspace will be at the mercy of Iran's far larger and more destructive solid fuel bsllistic missiles. Unless, of course, the U.S. intervenes directly.
