On Thursday, 2025-06-12, Israel (aka “the Zionist entity”) was committing a genocide in Gaza while annexing or attacking Palestine, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen. By 3 am the next morning, local time, the genocide-running entity had started a war with Iran.

"In the early hours of today, the Zionist regime once again revealed its evil and bloodstained hand by committing a crime on our beloved soil, further exposing its malicious nature through attacks on residential areas. The regime must now await a harsh punishment”

[Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatola Khamenei via PressTV]

Israel assassinated Iran's military Chief of Staff, the commander of the Iranian Republican Guard Corps and several civilian (nuclear) scientists. Israel targeted civilian housing in Tehran, killing other civilians.

Iran has already nominated replacements for its martyred military leaders.

International war criminal, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, stated that he is responsible for the illegal international violence. Israel declared it will continue until it has achieved its unstated objectives.

US President Trump admitted he was aware of the Israeli plans, implying he did not demand that Israel restrain itself. As was revealed 7 months ago during the US/Israel Intel Leaks, US satellite monitoring informs it of all Israeli military planning and action.

Trump wrote on Struth Social:

... the next [Israeli, US approved] already planned attacks being [will be] even more brutal

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio lied that Israel took "unilateral action against Iran" and that the US was "not involved". The US was involved. It arms Israel. It knew of and ~~implicitly approved~~ gave a “green light” for the attack. Rubio stated that the US provided Israel with “exquisite” intelligence, which Ambassador Freeman characterized (see Sources) as supporting Israel’s assassinations.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that it holds the US responsible for the attack. “The Zionist regime’s aggressive actions against Iran cannot have been carried out without the coordination and authorization of the United States. Accordingly, the United States government, as the main supporter of this regime, will also be responsible for the dangerous effects and consequences of the Zionist regime’s adventure,” the ministry said.

Russia's Foreign Ministry "strongly condemned" the illegal Israeli military violence, describing it as "a clear violation of the UN Charter", "unprovoked military strikes against ... [Iran's] citizens, [and] peaceful cities".

[Russian Federation Ministry of Foreign Affairs]

Scott Ritter characterized the violence as Israel acting as a US proxy. This is not about Iran's nuclear program, stated Ritter, this is a regime change operation, an existential war between Israel and Iran.

Just before the Zionist entity started its latest war, the International Energy Agency's Board of Governors issued a resolution. It stated that Iran was not in compliance with the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. Ritter ridiculed this rubbish.

Iran had a recent intelligence success. It has documentary evidence that the IAEA has been providing the details of its nuclear scientists to Israel (which is not a signatory to the NPT). Israel has been assassinating Iranian nulcear scientists for years.

The compromise of the IAEA to subvert it to US political purposes is remeniscent of the subjugation of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) by the US, as reported by Aaron Maté, over the “Douma incident” during the Syrian Dirty War. The US has subverted the two internaitonal organizations tasked with monitoring or preventing the use of weapons of mass destruction. It feels like 2003 all over again.

Infiltrated Covert Drone Attacks

Israel used an identical methodology to the recent attacks on Russia’s nuclear bombers, drones armed with explosives launched from concealed locations. This supports speculation that Mossad was involved in the Western attack on Russia’s nuclear deterent. When attacking Iran, Israel used this method to attack some of Iran’s missile defense systems.

Iran responded with its prepared operation “True Promise III”. Its military has launched over 100 drones and tens of missiles at military targets in Israel, as of the update to this article [2025-06-14 13:45 AEST].

When Israel started this war, it called up all of its military reserves and declared a state of emergency.

One suspects that the citizens of Israel may soon learn what a real emergency looks like — a nightmare created for them by Netanyahu.

BRICS War II

The US is at war with Russia, via Ukraine in Europe, and with Iran, via Israel in Asia. Its desired war with China might just have to wait.

Failing empires create collossal collateral damage.
