June 15, 2025 Max Blumenthal, The Grayzone. , , , ,
The Grayzone's Max Blumenthal interviews Dr. Foad Izadi, professor of world politics at the University of Tehran, amid Israeli airstrikes on Iran which assassinated nuclear scientists and military officials while killing many civilians. As one of his country's most prolific political commentators, Izadi critiques the Iranian president's diplomacy with the US, Trump's perfidious actions, and the mood of Iranian society.

Iran Will Not Stop Strikes Until US-Backed Israeli War Ends

June 15, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on 15 June that Iran will not end its strikes against Israel until the US-backed Israeli war against the country is halted. “We are defending ourselves; our defense is entirely legitimate,” the foreign minister said. “This defense is our response to aggression. If the aggression stops, naturally our responses will also stop,” he added. Araghchi condemned the Israeli attack on Iran’s offshore South Pars gas field on Saturday night, warning that “dragging the conflict to the Persian Gulf is a strategic mistake, and its aim is to drag the war beyond Iranian territory.”

Israel Opens New Front With Iran, But Gaza Still Bleeds

June 15, 2025 Quds News Network. , , , , ,
In the hours after Israel attacked Iran, international pressure over Israel’s starvation and civilian killings in Gaza had apparently dissipated. Since Israel launched attacks on Iran, it has killed more than 140 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip, including over 40 aid seekers near the distribution sites run by the controversial US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). Internet and fixed-line communications were down across Gaza after Israeli forces bombed the territory’s last remaining fiber optic cable on Thursday. Israel prevented repairs to the internet and telecommunications infrastructure until Saturday evening, when service was finally restored.

Israel’s War On Iran Was Made In USA

June 14, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , ,
Israel has launched a major attack on Iran, which could escalate into a larger war. The United States is not just sitting on the sidelines, watching what is happening; the Donald Trump administration is directly involved. The US government oversaw the attack. Washington provided Tel Aviv with crucial intelligence, to help it kill top Iranian officials, with US weapons. Trump provided Israel with cover, by overseeing fake peace talks with Iran, which in reality were a cynical ruse. As US officials met with their Iranian counterparts to discuss a new nuclear deal (after Trump unilaterally tore up the previous one), Washington and Tel Aviv were secretly planning the operation.

Iran Announces Imminent Retaliation To Israeli Aggression

June 14, 2025 Abdul Rahman, People's Dispatch. , , , , , ,
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Khamenei issued a statement on Friday morning calling Israeli aggression against the country a crime which will invite severe punishment from the Islamic Republic. “With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared for itself a bitter, painful fate, which it will definitely see,” Khamenei said in a brief statement hours after the early morning strikes by Israel on several Iranian cities including the capital Tehran. Large scale protests were reported in different parts of Iran on Friday demanding Iranian retaliation against Israeli aggression.

Watch: United Nations Security Council On Israel’s War

June 14, 2025 Vibhu Mishra, Consortium News. , , , , ,
Israel’s strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities mark a dangerous new escalation in the Middle East, a top U.N. official told the Security Council during an emergency session convened on Friday. The Council cleared its original schedule to address the rapidly evolving crisis, also hearing from the head of the U.N.-backed international nuclear watchdog, who warned of the grave risks to regional stability and nuclear safety. Overnight from Thursday into Friday, Israeli military strikes targeted nuclear facilities across Iran, including the Natanz enrichment site. Media reports indicate that Hossein Salami, the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as well as several prominent nuclear scientists, were among those killed.

Iran And Israel At War

June 14, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
Iran commenced its retaliation against Israel late on 13 June, unleashing a massive barrage of missiles aimed at the city of Tel Aviv, which resulted in multiple direct hits, including strikes on the Israeli army headquarters. Tehran targeted “dozens of targets, military centers and air bases” across Israel, according to a statement by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It said the operation was named “True Promise 3." The US-Israeli war that was launched overnight on Friday killed several nuclear scientists and high-ranking members of the IRGC. Air defenses remained active in the Iranian capital, Tehran, and near strategic nuclear sites as Israeli warplanes bombed the country throughout most of the day.

Israel Started A War With Iran, But It Doesn’t Know How It Ends

June 14, 2025 Abdaljawad Omar, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
The war between Israel and Iran marks the culmination of decades of shadow-boxing between Tehran and Tel Aviv. This is a war that has long worn the mask of deniability, played out in assassinations, cyber operations, and various forms of entanglements from Damascus to the Red Sea. Its rules were unwritten but widely understood: escalation without full rupture. But now it’s unfolding in a surprise Israeli intelligence and military attack, which was met with a subsequent Iranian retaliation against Israeli military installations and strategic infrastructure. While Israel’s capacity for precise targeting — its assassinations of nuclear scientists, the killing of Iranian commanders, and its strikes on enrichment sites — has rarely been in doubt, its broader strategic horizon remains conspicuously blurred.

Political, Military Iranian Figures Vow Revenge, Slam US Complicity

June 13, 2025 Al Mayadeen English. , , ,
Senior Iranian political figures have pledged a decisive response following the Israeli aggression on Iranian territory. Officials also directly blamed the United States for enabling the aggression, warning that accountability will extend beyond the battlefield. On his part, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf issued a stark warning, declaring that the Islamic Republic will respond forcefully to the Israeli aggression. “The time has come for decisive retaliation, through any means and by every available tool,” Ghalibaf declared in a televised address. “The Zionist regime will not escape the consequences. What they have begun, we will bring to an end.”

Israel Renews Attacks; Iran Replaces Assassinated Leaders

June 13, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. , , ,
New Israeli airstrikes hit the Iranian cities of Tabriz and Shiraz on the afternoon of 13 June, several hours after the start of Tel Aviv’s large-scale campaign against the country. Circulating footage showed massive plumes of black smoke rising over the two cities. According to Iranian media reports, the new strikes on Tabriz targeted the city’s international airport. Israel’s Channel 12 reported that warplanes bombed a missile production plant in Shiraz. Earlier, Iran appointed replacements for the top military and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officials that were assassinated during the largescale Israeli bombing campaign against the country.

United States Anticipating Potential Israeli Attack On Iran

June 12, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , ,
The US is on high alert in the Middle East and is anticipating a potential Israeli attack on Iran, The Washington Post has reported. Amid the anticipation, the US is reducing the presence of non-essential personnel in the region. The report said that “in recent months, US intelligence officials have grown increasingly concerned that Israel may choose to strike Iran’s nuclear facilities without the consent of the United States.” US officials told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the military has authorized the “voluntary departure” of the dependents of US troops from locations across the Middle East.

Iran’s New Intelligence Operation Shatters Israeli Security’s Prestige

June 11, 2025 Robert Inlakesh, Palestine Chronicle. , , ,
Amidst an escalation of threatening rhetoric between Tehran and Tel Aviv, Iran has revealed an intelligence operation of historic proportions. The Iranians not only claim to have retrieved thousands of classified Israeli documents, but now warn Israel that it can hit its secret nuclear weapons sites in the event its own are targeted. On June 7, Al Mayadeen News and Iranian state broadcasters began releasing exclusive stories about a massive intelligence operation carried out by Tehran’s intelligence services “inside the Zionist Entity”. According to Al Mayadeen’s original scoop, “thousands of documents related to the Israeli occupation’s projects and its nuclear facilities” were seized, and the operation had taken place some time ago and could only be revealed now due to security concerns.

Trump: New Iran Deal Must Allow US To ‘Blow Up Whatever We Want’

June 2, 2025 Will Porter, AntiWar.com. , , ,
President Donald Trump argued that any revived nuclear accord with Iran should permit the United States to destroy the country’s nuclear infrastructure and send inspectors to Iranian facilities at any time. The president outlined his vision for a new agreement during a White House presser on Wednesday, calling for a “very strong document” that would effectively give Washington carte blanche over Tehran’s nuclear energy program. “I want it very strong – where we can go in with inspectors, we can take whatever we want, we can blow up whatever we want, but [with] nobody getting killed,” he told reporters.

Netanyahu Threatening To Upend US-Iran Talks By Attacking Iran

May 29, 2025 Dave DeCamp, Antiwar.com. , , , , ,
The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is threatening to upend negotiations between the US and Iran by potentially attacking Iranian nuclear facilities. The report said that the threat from Israel led to a recent tense phone call between Netanyahu and President Trump and a series of meetings between senior US and Israeli officials in recent days. Trump was asked by reporters on Wednesday if he warned Netanyahu against attacking Iran during a phone call last week, and said, “Well, I’d like to be honest. Yes, I did.” “It’s not a warning. I said I don’t think it’s appropriate.

Think Tank Behind Project 2025 Just Published Trump’s Iran War Plan

May 28, 2025 Robert Inlakesh, MintPress News. , , ,
Flying under the media radar, the Heritage Foundation—a think tank widely viewed as the intellectual engine behind the Trump administration’s foreign policy agenda—has published a brief that appears to map out the president’s prospective approach to Iran. The six-page document advocates ending nuclear negotiations and pursuing joint U.S.-Israeli strikes against Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. Though thinly veiled as a policy analysis, the brief reads more like a soft launch for a war strategy. Heritage has long played a predictive role in Trump-era foreign policy. Its reports and recommendations often find their way into official doctrine, especially on issues involving Israel and Iran.
