⭕ This morning, Iran launched a missile that directly struck the southern city of Be’er Sheva, lightly injuring five civilians. This marked one of the few direct hits on Israeli territory during the ongoing conflict.
♦️ In a rapid response, the IDF struck three Iranian missile launchers that were already positioned for launch toward Israel. One of the targets included a senior Iranian military commander who was actively involved in preparing the launches. Thanks to these preemptive strikes, the night saw the lowest number of missile launches toward Israel since the war began.
🎯 Simultaneously, an Israeli drone strike hit a residential building in central Tehran, which, according to Israeli media, was the residence of a nuclear scientist. Iranian sources confirmed the strike but did not disclose the identity of the target.
💥 Overnight, the IDF conducted a large-scale aerial operation, deploying more than 60 fighter jets guided by precise intelligence from the IDF Intelligence Directorate. The aircraft dropped around 120 munitions, targeting dozens of strategic military sites across Tehran. Among the targets were missile production facilities, the SPND nuclear research headquarters, and factories manufacturing components and raw materials for missile engines. These facilities, developed over many years by Iran’s Ministry of Defense, are considered vital to Iran’s weapons production.
🔥 One of the most significant targets was a facility involved in producing a critical element for Iran’s nuclear weapons program. The SPND headquarters, founded in 2011 by Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, plays a central role in developing advanced weapons technology. In addition, four UAVs launched by Iran were intercepted by Israeli forces overnight, neutralizing another potential threat.
⚠️ On the intelligence front, CBS News reported that the FBI has increased surveillance efforts to monitor potential IRGC and Hezbollah sleeper cells operating inside the United States, amid rising concern over retaliatory attacks.
⚠️ According to two Israeli security sources quoted by Iran International, a joint U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran’s Fordow Nuclear Facility is currently regarded as the most likely scenario. The strike could happen as soon as Friday night, indicating growing urgency.
✈️ In parallel, U.S. bomber deployment activity appears to be underway. Three KC-46A Pegasus aerial refueling tankers, using HIFI-series callsigns, departed from Travis Air Force Base on the U.S. West Coast toward the Pacific. An additional four Pegasus tankers with CHAOS callsigns also launched from Altus AFB. These movements strongly suggest preparations for long-range bomber missions.
📌 Meanwhile, Whiteman Air Force Base, home to the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber fleet, has reopened ahead of schedule. A C-17 Globemaster (RCH-2105) is currently en route to the base, accompanied by GRIT68, another C-17 transporting support personnel and equipment. These developments confirm that the final stage of U.S. bomber deployment is imminent or already underway.

🔵MISSILE HIT, US ON THE MOVE? DEF MIN THREATENS, SYRIA REFUSES, and INTERCEPTORS
June 20, 2025 @ 3:30 am ET Israel Realtime
⭕IRAN BALLISTIC MISSILE fired by Iran hits Be’er Sheva this morning – HIT. Significant damage, 5 lightly injured.
🇺🇸US ON THE MOVE – (1) Early in the morning of Israel, the US military began transporting refuelers and bombers to the Diego Garcia base (located in the Indian Ocean).
(2) Seven US military refuelers took off from the US and headed – – west, towards Diego Garcia, followed by C-17 support equipment. Speculation is they are traveling with strategic bombers or being pre-positioned to support such bomber flights. Flight time – 20 hours. Last night another group of C-17 transports and refuelers took off headed east over the Atlantic towards the Middle East.
🇺🇸WHITE HOUSE SAYS – White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt: “If there’s a chance for diplomacy, the President is always going to grab it — but he’s not afraid to use strength, as well.”
🇺🇸DENIAL – A White House official tells Fox News the contents of The Guardian report about Trump doubting the power of USAF bunker busting bombs are fake. The US military has no doubt about the efficacy of bunker busters in eliminating the site at Fordow, also denying that any options (including tactical nukes) have been taken off the table.
🔹DEF. MINISTER THREATENS – The Hezbollah Secretary General is not learning a lesson from his predecessors and is threatening to act against Israel in accordance with the Iranian dictator’s instructions. I suggest to the Lebanese proxy to be careful and understand that Israel has lost patience with terrorists who threaten it.
🔹HEZBOLLAH IRAQ THREATENS THE US – security spox for the Kataib Hezbollah announces that it’s forces are on standby and are ready to hit US bases if US enters the war.
🔹SYRIA REFUSES – The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood notably issued a strongly worded statement refusing any solidarity with Iran, and condemning those who “align themselves with the murderers”.
❓INTERCEPTORS? Western sources continue to report “Israel running out of interceptors”. According to the security establishment, Israel is not even close to the red line with the interceptors. However, it appears the Iranian frequent switching of missile types is making interceptions more challenging, with a somewhat lower success level that earlier or versus, for example, missiles from the Houthis.
▪️HAREDI ALERT SOLUTIONS – because much of the Haredi community uses kosher-phones, which can’t receive texts and also block emergency alert broadcast, those portions of the Haredi community using kosher phones is not getting early alerts.
.. Bnei Brak deployed a system to use the Shabbat Sirens (which announce the start of Shabbat) to notify residents of an early alert and when it is safe to exit protected space.
.. Beit Shemesh is offering a “call-to-leave” service where they will call your phone – you just add them as “OK to leave Mamad” to see when a call arrives (see https://sheme.sh/exit_mamad).
.. And Home Front has set up a Haredi friendly dial-in news service – call 104, choose option 6.
▪️REGIONAL AIR TRAVEL as a sign of events – ALL American airlines have suspected flights to Qatar and Dubai due to ‘developments in the Middle East’. Qatar and the UAE are less than 300 km from Iran across the Persian Gulf.
▪️ARRIVING – Ministry of Defense: 14 planes loaded with military equipment arrived from the United States.
▪️THE TOLL – via MDA
23 killed
14 serious condition
26 moderate condition
591 light condition
149 anxiety victims
204 were treated on site – cuts and scrapes
♦️IDF ATTACKING IN IRAN – Explosions reported in: northern Tehran, Nobunyad square, Tehran, Isfahan targeting air defenses, sources in Tehran reports non-stop bombings and Air Defense activity over the Iranian capital, an Israeli drone attack targeted a Revolutionary Guard base in Bostan Abad, northwestern Iran, killing a group of IRGC forces, Rasht’s Sefidrood Industrial Park was targeted by Israeli air-to-surface missiles – the park containing manufacturing of missile body components – followed by huge explosions with major secondary explosions – visible from 30 km away, and the Israeli Air Force struck three primed ballistic missile launchers in Iran a short while ago, along with an Iranian military commander who was operating at the launch site.

🎯 Unconfirmed reports from Tehran claim that Israel carried out a precise strike targeting an underground facility in the Lavizan neighborhood of northeast Tehran — the area where Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s bunker is believed to be located. While Israeli officials have not publicly confirmed the operation, several local sources point to a possible deep-strike mission targeting highly sensitive military infrastructure beneath the surface.
💥 The Lavizan area has long been associated with hidden military sites and fortified bunkers used by the regime’s top leadership. The timing of the alleged strike closely follows other targeted Israeli actions in Syria and Iraq, suggesting a coordinated escalation designed to degrade Iran’s war-making capabilities and deterrence posture.
☣️ Coinciding with these events, a 4.3 magnitude earthquake was reported earlier today in the Mashhad area, northeast Iran. While this may have been a natural tremor, its timing has sparked speculation on Iranian channels about a potential underground explosion or unreported impact strike. No official Iranian response has connected the tremor to any military activity, but regional observers are closely monitoring for signs of damage to buried infrastructure.
🛩 Meanwhile, Israel has received a substantial wave of military support from the West, including 14 cargo planes loaded with aid from the United States and Germany. These shipments reportedly contain advanced ammunition, precision-guided munitions, air defense systems, and other strategic assets. This influx of Western military support is a clear signal of strengthening coordination between Jerusalem and its allies ahead of possible regional escalation.
⚠️ Investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has reported that the United States is preparing to launch a full-scale bombing campaign in Iran this weekend. According to Hersh, “The White House has signed off on an all-out bombing campaign in Iran,” with the goal of not only targeting Iran’s nuclear infrastructure but also pursuing regime destabilization. Hersh added that President Trump postponed the operation to avoid disrupting the U.S. stock market midweek.
This American operation, if confirmed, would go far beyond previous military responses and could mark a dramatic shift toward active efforts to topple the Iranian regime. Sources suggest the bombing campaign may focus on Tehran’s command-and-control centers, missile launch facilities, and elite Revolutionary Guard positions in addition to nuclear sites. The scale of the plan suggests an attempt to fundamentally shake the regime’s hold over the population and military.
📌 These developments align with Israel’s own objectives of neutralizing Iranian threats both at home and across the region. Israeli and U.S. strategies appear to be converging toward a unified effort against the Iranian axis, with a goal of long-term disruption to Iran’s military infrastructure and its ability to project terror and influence across the Middle East.

Over thirty nations once condemned Israel for alleged strikes on hospitals, calling for investigations and labeling the actions potential crimes against humanity.
Today, that same outcry is notably absent after an Iranian missile struck Soroka Hospital wounding patients, medical personnel, and children at the heart of the facility.
Countries such as Russia, Turkey, and China, along with the United Nations and major human rights organizations, were previously vocal in their criticism. Now, there are no statements, no emergency sessions, no international response.
This is not merely a missed news story – it reflects a glaring double standard.

Iran Launches 2,000 km-Range Sejil Missiles at Israel for the First Time in History
The drop is attributed to faster Iranian missiles, which reduced Israel’s early warning time from 10-11 minutes to just 6-7 minutes.
June 19, 2025 @ 1:16 pm ET Jewish News 24
“These new missiles are faster and more precise,” the official said, citing an attack on a hospital in Beersheba as evidence of improved Iranian targeting.

⭕ Sirens sounded across several regions in Israel following the launch of approximately 20 ballistic missiles from Iran. Multiple impacts were reported in central Israel and the Negev, with at least 4 to 7 missiles striking key locations. [Emphasis added] Medics are treating several minor injuries, and significant property damage has been reported. Magen David Adom Director General Eli Bean confirmed that “there are several scenes in the center of the country and significant damage in the Negev.” He added, “We are still scanning because there is heavy damage in multiple areas.” The IAF is currently engaging in interception and retaliatory strikes. Authorities stress that “the defense is not hermetic,” urging the public to strictly follow Home Front Command instructions.
💥 Earlier this morning, the IDF issued an immediate evacuation alert for Iran’s Arak Nuclear Complex, tied to the regime’s weapons program. The facility, located in Markazi Province, houses the IR-40 heavy water reactor, critical for producing nuclear materials. Israeli media confirms airstrikes have begun targeting this complex, as part of ongoing efforts to neutralize nuclear threats.
❌ Yesterday, in southern Lebanon, the IDF eliminated Yassin Abd al-Mun’im ‘Izz al-Din, Hezbollah’s artillery commander in the Litani sector, during a drone strike on the town of Barish. He was responsible for coordinating numerous rocket attacks on northern Israel and was working to rebuild Hezbollah’s artillery infrastructure. The IDF stated his actions were a “blatant violation of the understandings between Israel and Lebanon.” Israel continues to monitor and preempt Hezbollah’s efforts to escalate under the wider Iran conflict.

[Ed.: Out of all the missile defense systems of the U.S. and Israel, they could not stop 7 of the 20 missiles fired! 35% failure rate? That is not even believable. What probably happened is, that when the rockets were fired, everybody was on a lunch break.]
DRY BONES
I Am a Damn Jew—And I Am Pissed Off By Yonah Elias
May 21, 2025
I am pissed off. I am so damn angry I could burn through marble with my breath. The world can shove it—yes, the whole world. And if that makes you uncomfortable, good. That means you’re finally listening.
I am an angry Jew.
An unforgiving Jew.
I am the Jew you get after Germany.
I’m the Jew who walks with a rifle in one hand and a Torah in the other—not to impress you, but to remind you that I know how to survive both a firing squad and a theological debate.
I’m not here for your interfaith panels.
I’m not here to make you feel better about yourself.
I’m here to remember.
And to make sure you don’t forget.
I am the Jew you expelled from Spain in 1492—before Columbus ever got to sail the ocean blue.
I am the Jew you ghettoized in Venice, taxed in France, beaten in Kiev, humiliated in Poland.
I am the Jew Stalin called a parasite, that Churchill shook hands with then sold out, that America left on the shores of Europe to burn.
I am the Jew whose parents you gassed, whose children you hid, whose prayers you mocked—and whose rebirth you now resent because I dared to survive.
I am the Jew who didn’t disappear.
I am the Jew who came home—to Zion.
And I am the Jew you hate for that.
You want to know why I’m angry?
Because the West has lost its damn mind. It’s drowning in its own vomit while hallucinating about bathrooms, borders, and BDS. It’s burning itself alive with pride parades while lighting candles for terrorists.
Meanwhile, the East is building mega-projects, high-speed trains, underwater tunnels, AI supercities—and you’re busy holding ceasefire rallies for Hamas in Trafalgar Square while your power grid gets hacked by the Taliban.
Are you joking?
You should be writing letters of apology to Israel, begging for cyber defense. Instead, you’re lecturing us about “proportionality” while your own nations rot from within, infested with ideology and cowardice like a French cheese left in the sun.
And every time I feel that heat rise in my chest—every time I want to scream and rage—I hear this voice inside me say:
“But you’re a Jew. Jews don’t act like that.”
Oh really? Tell that to the Maccabees.
Tell that to Bar Kochba.
Tell that to the Warsaw Ghetto.
And then I remember what the Torah says:
“If someone comes to kill you, rise early and kill him first.”
—Talmud, Berakhot 58a.
That’s not a suggestion.
That’s a commandment.
And trust me—we’ve had enough mornings to rise early.
I am that ugly Jew, the one your grandfather whispered about.
I’m the “stinky Jew” your teacher warned you not to trust.
I’m the dirty Jew you thought would go quietly into the gas.
Guess what?
I didn’t.
I survived Auschwitz.
I survived British detention camps in Cyprus.
I survived Rome, Babylon, London, and Oslo.
I survived your love letters to the Ayatollah and your arms deals with genocidal maniacs.
I’m not just a survivor. I’m a witness.
And now—I’m a weapon.
Forged in exile. Tempered in war. Sharpened by betrayal.
But here’s the twist. Here’s the plotline your professors missed:
I’m not angry at the world that loves me.
Not at the righteous among the nations. Not at the brave, the just, the defiant few who stand by us.
I’m angry at the world that hates me.
The world that chants for my death then complains that I yelled too loud when I didn’t die.
The world that arms Hamas and blames me for the explosion.
The world that builds statues for dead colonialists but calls my people “colonizers” for returning to their homeland after 3,000 years.
I’m a loving Jew—but don’t mistake that for weakness.
I’ll dance at weddings and cry at funerals. I’ll host you for Shabbat and pass you the salt—but if you try to hurt me or my people, you’ll find out just how much fire is left in the Jewish soul. We are the nation that watched empires rise and fall while we kept lighting candles on Friday night.
So to the world that has lost its way:
You are no longer my moral compass.
You are a circus of madmen with nuclear weapons.
You are preaching virtue from the gallows you built with your own hands.
And I—I am a damn Jew.
I am Israel reborn.
I am rage and redemption.
I am faith with a backbone.
I am memory with a trigger.
I am the prayer you didn’t believe would be answered.
And yes—I am pissed off.
Now go ahead and share this. Let the world know exactly what kind of Jew they’re dealing with.
Am Yisrael Chai.
Not for your approval.
For our survival.
And for our eternity.

This is how Israel dismantled Iran from within. ZINEB RIBOUA
The psychological warfare element — that the strike had come from Iranian soil — amplified the attack’s kinetic effects, leaving Tehran paralyzed.
JUN 16, 2025 The Future of Jewish
On June 13th, the Islamic Republic of Iran experienced a strategic collapse that altered the balance of power in the Middle East.
Israel eliminated key Iranian military and scientific personnel, degraded the country’s missile infrastructure, and neutralized its early-warning systems. But more consequentially, Israel’s strike — dubbed Operation Rising Lion — shattered the Iranian regime’s confidence in its own security apparatus.
This outcome was the result of years of sustained intelligence preparation; real-time intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance dominance; and deep operational infiltration. Israeli planners achieved full-spectrum disruption by dismantling Iran’s command and control networks, severing high-level communications, and injecting uncertainty into the regime’s decision-making processes.
By the time Tehran could react, the damage was already done. Its upper command was dead, its defensive systems were disabled, and its internal threat assessments were in disarray. Crucially, Israel did not rely on cross-border operations. It had pre-positioned remote-activated strike platforms inside Iran and deployed them with surgical precision.
Israel’s operational concept combined a decapitation strike with cognitive disruption. The psychological warfare element — that the strike had come from Iranian soil — amplified the attack’s kinetic effects, leaving Tehran paralyzed. Unable to determine whether it had been infiltrated or outmaneuvered, the regime’s ability to respond collapsed before it could launch a single countermeasure.
The first two warnings came in July 2024 and September 2024.
In July, Israel assassinated Ismail Haniyeh (Hamas’ top political official and a guest of the Islamic Republic) in the heart of Tehran, demonstrating its ability to penetrate Iran’s capital, bypass multiple layers of security, and execute a precision strike without visible attribution.
The second warning followed in September, when Israel conducted a sophisticated attack using explosive pagers against Hezbollah operatives in Lebanon, killing dozens and injuring thousands. This showcased its capacity to infiltrate and disrupt enemy networks. These operations sent a strategic message and served as rehearsals for something much larger.
Tehran failed to grasp the significance. The regime dismissed the assassinations as internal sabotage or factional violence, refusing to entertain the possibility that a hostile state actor had executed the operation within its own territory. That misjudgment exposed a structural flaw in the Iranian regime: Tehran’s national security establishment could no longer detect or interpret threats emerging from its core.
Iran’s failure to anticipate Operation Rising Lion demonstrates a pattern of strategic miscalculations rooted in flawed assumptions about Israel, the United States, and the nature of contemporary conflict.
Iran’s miscalculations were reinforced by its belief that it could rely on Beijing. Since the 2015 Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), China has steadily deepened its strategic ties with Iran. What began as an economic alignment soon evolved into political and diplomatic coordination. China presented itself not merely as a trading partner but as a guarantor of Iran’s internal stability.
In 2021, China and Iran institutionalized their partnership with a 25-year strategic agreement valued at $400 billion. Chinese companies embedded themselves across Iran’s critical sectors, from energy and telecommunications to transport and logistics. Beijing extracted tangible strategic and economic leverage, a relationship that Iran mistakenly believed would grant it geopolitical protection.
This misreading extended into Tehran’s nuclear posture. Iranian officials interpreted Chinese backing as an effective shield from geopolitical consequences. As nuclear negotiations resumed in 2025, Chinese diplomats publicly reaffirmed the 25-year pact and emphasized multipolarity, integration into BRICS (a China-led anti-Western alliance structure that Iran joined in 2024), and cooperation with Russia. Tehran viewed this not only as validation of its international alignment but as evidence that it could defy U.S. and Israeli pressure without consequences.
Iran was further emboldened by its belief that the China-brokered normalization deal it signed with Saudi Arabia in early 2023 had silenced the most vocal regional opponent of Iran’s nuclear ambitions. Tehran assumed Riyadh’s opposition to its nuclear program had been politically neutralized and that, with Saudi Arabia out of the equation, Washington would have less incentive to support Israeli preemptive strikes. This was a fundamental miscalculation. The Riyadh-Tehran normalization produced optics, not a strategic shift.
The convergence of flawed assumptions — Chinese support as a deterrent, Saudi normalization as a shield, and U.S. diplomacy as a tactical delay — fomented strategic complacency in Tehran. When Washington and its allies issued a 60-day ultimatum to curb uranium enrichment, Iran dismissed it as empty signaling. It believed it still had time. It believed Israel would hold back. It believed the regional alignments would endure. It miscalculated, gravely.
Operation Rising Lion’s success hinged on Israel’s mastery of deception and psychological warfare. Deception in modern warfare involves crafting false narratives to mislead adversaries and inducing them to misjudge intentions, capabilities, or timing. Israel’s campaign was a textbook example, paralyzing Iran’s decision-making through a carefully orchestrated web of misdirection.
In the weeks preceding the strike, Israel saturated global media, diplomatic channels, and public discourse with false cues designed to lull Tehran into complacency.
The Israeli security cabinet meeting that green-lit the operation was disguised as a routine discussion on Gaza hostage negotiations. Ministers were briefed only within a secure forum, signing stringent nondisclosure agreements known as shomer sod, or “guardian of the secret.” Even senior government officials believed no major action was imminent.
Netanyahu’s office leaked a story that he was attending his son Avner Netanyahu’s wedding in the Galilee (northern Israel). The illusion that Israel’s leader was preoccupied with personal matters reinforced Iran’s complacency.
Mossad Director David Barnea and Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer claimed to be on a trip to Washington via Oman for a “sixth round” of nuclear talks. These negotiations were fictitious, but their announcement suggested diplomatic progress, diverting attention from military preparations.
Netanyahu’s team allowed rumors of a rift with Trump over a potential Iran strike to circulate in the media, fostering perceptions of political disunity within Israel’s leadership.
Israel designed this cognitive warfare campaign to neutralize Iran’s command and control structure before kinetic operations began. For Israel, deception is a central force multiplier in operational planning. Against a highly centralized, ideologically rigid and hierarchical regime like Iran, disrupting perception at the leadership level produces disproportionate strategic effects.
Deception has assumed growing operational significance for Israel in 21st-century conflict environments for three reasons:
- The modern battlefield is saturated with intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets. Denying the adversary real-time situational awareness is essential for maintaining operational security and preserving the initiative.
- In regimes like Iran, where political control and military command are tightly fused, disrupting perception at the top disables coordination throughout the chain of command.
- Deception enables strategic surprise, a condition wherein the enemy not only fails to anticipate the strike but also fails to understand its purpose until after the fact. This degrades morale, imposes psychological paralysis, and prevents timely countermeasures.
Israel’s operation applied all these principles. It exploited Iran’s doctrinal assumptions — namely, that threats would come externally, be preceded by escalation, and require observable force buildup.
By shaping the information environment, Israel ensured that Iran would not trigger emergency protocols, disperse its senior personnel, or adopt an elevated defense posture until it was too late. Israel did not kinetically disable Tehran’s early-warning systems; it cognitively bypassed them. The effect of surprise was decisive: By the time Israeli drones activated from pre-positioned launch nodes inside Iranian territory, the regime’s national command authority had already lost the initiative.
The Islamic Republic relies on projecting strength — on appearing untouchable and firmly in control from the top down. Its deterrence is psychological as much as material. Therefore even minor disruptions to this image can have outsized effects.
The strategic purpose of deception, in this context, is to undermine that perception before a single missile is fired. By distorting the enemy’s sense of reality (through misdirection, covert infiltration, and psychological manipulation), Israel erodes the regime’s belief in its own control and security. This breeds hesitation, miscalculation, and internal confusion at the highest levels.
Israel understands this well. It doesn’t just aim to win on the battlefield; it seeks to unravel the system’s confidence, creating paralysis through doubt, fragmentation, and disorientation.
The level of Israeli infiltration exposed during Operation Rising Lion has immediate and long-term consequences for the Iranian regime.
Penetration of Iran’s air defense systems, intelligence networks, and internal military infrastructure indicates a loss of control at the core of the state. This not only compromises operational security, but also undermines institutional trust within the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Quds Force, and the broader intelligence establishment.
When command structures can no longer distinguish between internal loyalty and external manipulation, decision-making slows, risk tolerance narrows, and factionalism grows.
Over time, this environment fosters paranoia, internal purges, and bureaucratic paralysis — conditions that steadily degrade the regime’s capacity to project power, manage crises, and maintain cohesion.
First, despite its threats of a forceful response, Tehran has failed to impose meaningful costs on a technologically and operationally superior adversary. What was billed as a major reprisal has largely amounted to symbolic gestures aimed at domestic audiences rather than tangible battlefield outcomes.
Second, the limitations of Iran’s response are raising doubts among its regional partners (particularly the Houthis and Hezbollah) about Tehran’s reliability as the core of the anti-Israel axis. If Iran cannot effectively retaliate when directly targeted, its credibility as a deterrent umbrella weakens across the region.
Third, the growing disconnect between Khamenei’s rhetoric and Iran’s operational reality is eroding internal cohesion. In a regime where legitimacy depends heavily on projecting strength, visible failure — especially in the face of Israeli dominance — risks deepening public skepticism and unsettling elite consensus.
If these trends continue, a deeper strategic unraveling is possible. The erosion of deterrence abroad and legitimacy at home could trigger fragmentation within Iran’s security institutions, elite defection, and increased pressure from peripheral regions. What begins as a military failure may evolve into political instability — and, over time, the disintegration of the centralized system that has held the Islamic Republic together for over four decades.
Israel, by contrast, has demonstrated control over both the military and psychological dimensions of the conflict. It has absorbed Iranian strikes with minimal disruption, maintained national composure, and reinforced its dominance in both the air and information domains.
The broader message is unmistakable: Israel sets the tempo and terms. Iran is reacting, and falling behind.

🚨 IRGC Escalation and Prison Chaos in Iran: The spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced, “The ninth wave of Operation True Promise-3 has just begun and will continue until dawn.” Meanwhile, video circulating online shows chaos in Kermanshah’s Dizelabad Prison, where inmates were seen fleeing during what appears to be a prison break amid the escalating unrest.
♦️ Police Operation in Haifa: In northern Israel, police raided an apartment in Haifa where a foreign news crew had set up to film the skyline—reportedly in anticipation of incoming Iranian missiles.
⚠️ U.S. May Join Israeli Campaign – If Trump Approves: A U.S. official told i24News that the U.S. is preparing to join Israel’s military operation against Iran—pending approval from President Trump. The official noted that “U.S. Central Command supports the move, but senior administration officials are currently opposed.” This internal divide underscores a high-stakes decision looming over Washington.
🇺🇸 Retired U.S. Military Leaders Demand Support for Israel: In a strongly worded open letter, 68 retired U.S. Generals and Admirals are calling on the United States to stand firmly with Israel. They stress the urgent need for America to publicly and materially support Israel’s strikes against Iran, emphasizing that such efforts are critical to “ensuring its success, standing up to Iranian retaliation, and preventing Tehran from rebuilding its nuclear program.”
Strikes Seen as Preventing Global Nuclear Threat: The letter asserts that Israel’s operations have “prevented an imminent nuclear threat,” thereby protecting not only Israel but also American and global security. The retired commanders describe Iran as a “long-standing, dangerous adversary of the U.S.” and warn of “catastrophic consequences” if Iran becomes a nuclear power.
📌 Recommended U.S. Actions from the Letter:
1. Warn Iran of severe consequences if it attacks U.S. forces, regional allies (including Arab partners), or energy infrastructure.
2. Make it clear the U.S. is prepared for direct confrontation if necessary.
3. Strengthen Israel’s military capacity, particularly its air defenses.
4. Lead a global diplomatic or military strategy to ensure Iran cannot revive its nuclear ambitions.
5. Show firm U.S. resolve by standing clearly and publicly alongside Israel.
🛡️ The letter concludes with a strong call to action: “The United States must act to seize this opportunity and secure its vital national interests at this critical moment.”

Betrayed on the Battlefield: IDF Soldiers Left Wanting While Defense Giants Feast on Taxpayer Billions By Mordechai Sones
Every donation, every barbecue fundraiser, normalizes a system where soldiers are sent to war ill-equipped, while defense giants thrive. Those who accept this status quo, who cheer the troops while ignoring the profiteering, are complicit in a cycle that sacrifices lives for corporate gain
June 15, 2025 Jewish Home
In Israel, where reverence for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) as the shield against existential threats is inculcated from birth, a bitter truth festers beneath the surface: rank-and-file soldiers, sent to fight, be maimed, and die for murky objectives, are scraping by with inadequate supplies, while the nation’s defense industries—Rafael, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), and Elbit Systems—reap record profits from taxpayer money. This is not just a logistical failure; it is a moral betrayal, enabled by a public that, in its desperation to support the troops, unwittingly props up a broken system.
Contents
The Harsh Truth of Empty Supplies
A Tangle of Trust and Treachery
A Soldier’s Desperate Plea
Consider the plea of an IDF soldier, drafted abruptly to the northern front, his voice raw with urgency: “My name is [redacted], and on Friday, erev Shabbat, we were suddenly drafted after getting out of our last miluim [reserve duty] only two months ago! We are lacking basic logistical and cleaning materials because the battalion was surprised and nothing was ready! Basic things from toilet paper, shampoo, toothbrushes, brooms, sponges, rags, and all kinds of other things are lacking, and we need your help!” He goes further, hoping to lift his unit’s battered spirits with a barbecue, a small gesture to counter the despair of an unprepared deployment.
This fundraiser, one of many flooding social media since October 7, 2023, has raised over $1 billion for soldiers’ basic needs, from tactical boots to thermal clothing.
The Harsh Truth of Empty Supplies
When skeptics questioned the fundraiser’s legitimacy—how could a battalion lack toilet paper, with logistics officers supposedly ensuring readiness?—the soldier’s response was chilling: “It’s nice to believe that, but we actually are using our emergency toilet paper from the last line we were on, and it won’t last more than a few days. I’ve been told it will take up to a week for them to get everything under control. Even what they give us isn’t enough. Last time they gave us 12 shampoos for 36 dish soaps for our entire battalion. It’s a joke. Only through my campaigns have I equipped my entire battalion. The only thing that my battalion gets from the battalion now is our guns and ammo. The rest of our equipment is from donations. Otherwise, we would be wearing outdated, unsafe equipment.” His words echo a grim reality: the IDF, despite Israel’s colossal defense budget, is failing its soldiers at the most basic level.
Abandoned in Faith and Gear
This is not an isolated incident. Soldiers have shared videos decrying military-issued knee pads, “great 10 years ago,” now worn out and useless, passed through countless hands.
Religious soldiers face additional indignities: Despite propaganda boasting abundant and generous IDF Rabbinate support for its soldiers, shortages of kosher food, prayer books, tefillin, and other ritual items force them to rely on civilian donations. Photos circulating online show soldiers receiving donated tzitzit and siddurim from organizations like Boots for Israel, which has distributed thousands of such items alongside 46,000 pairs of tactical boots. One image captures a soldier holding a donated tefillin set, his face a mix of gratitude and exhaustion, a stark reminder that even spiritual sustenance is crowdsourced.
These shortages are not just logistical oversights; they are a betrayal of soldiers who risk their lives under the banner of a nation that prides itself on unity.
Profits Over Patriotism
Meanwhile, Israel’s defense giants are swimming in profits. In 2024, Rafael’s sales hit $4.8 billion, with profits soaring 64% to $257 million. IAI’s revenues reached $6.11 billion, its net income up 55% to $493 million. Elbit Systems, a publicly traded behemoth, posted $6.83 billion in sales, with a 22% revenue spike in Q1 2025, over a third from Israeli contracts.
These figures, fueled by taxpayer-funded contracts, could equip every IDF soldier with state-of-the-art gear, rebuild hospitals, or fund education for a generation. Instead, they pad corporate coffers, with Elbit paying dividends to shareholders—some abroad—while soldiers beg for toilet paper.
A Tangle of Trust and Treachery
The hypocrisy is staggering. These firms, born from Israel’s need for self-reliance, now exploit wartime crises. Rafael and IAI, state-owned, are meant to return profits to the public, yet Rafael’s $680 million in dividends since 2002 and IAI’s $430 million from 2017–2023 are mere crumbs compared to their earnings. Elbit, privatized and listed on NASDAQ, funnels profits to investors, with a single shareholder holding 10,000 shares pocketing $6,000 in Q1 2025 dividends—money traced back to Israeli taxes. Worse, allegations swirl that these companies, with government approval, sold arms to Qatar, a Hamas backer, raising questions about whose security they truly serve.
Enabling the Injustice
This scandal is enabled by a public that, out of love for its soldiers, fundraises to fill the gaps. Organizations like Unit 11741, delivering 11,000 tactical helmets, and Boots for Israel, providing boots and religious supplies, are lifelines—but they are also bandages on a gaping wound.
Every donation, every barbecue fundraiser, normalizes a system where soldiers are sent to war ill-equipped, while defense giants thrive. Those who accept this status quo, who cheer the troops while ignoring the profiteering, are complicit in a cycle that sacrifices lives for corporate gain.
A Call to Reclaim Trust
Israel’s defense industry must be held accountable.
The State Comptroller’s 2023 report on Rafael’s governance failures—understaffed boards, lax audits—demands action, not lip service. A defense procurement ombudsman is needed to give taxpayers a voice. Laws must define “excessive” wartime profits and mandate transparent budgets.
Without these reforms, the nation risks losing more than soldiers’ lives—it risks losing its soul. For a people who live in constant crisis, trusting their defenders should not be a luxury. It should be a guarantee.

UPDATE June 14, 2025 @ 3:30 pm ET Jewish Breaking News
The IDF Home Front Command has completed an initial assessment of Iran’s overnight and morning missile barrage, concluding that civilians who followed safety guidelines and sheltered properly were mostly unharmed.
Iran launched around 200 ballistic missiles in four major waves. According to the IDF, 50 were deliberately not intercepted because they were projected to land in open areas, while a small number breached defenses and hit populated zones.
Missile strikes in Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, and Rishon Lezion resulted in three civilian deaths and about 80 injuries. Additionally, seven IDF soldiers were lightly wounded by a missile in central Israel.
In one Tel Aviv high-rise, a missile struck the ninth floor, destroying several apartments. However, residents inside reinforced bomb rooms survived with little to no injuries. In Ramat Gan, a missile hit an older home lacking a bomb-safe room, but residents who took shelter in the basement were unharmed.
The Home Front Command is urging the public to seek the most secure shelter available during missile threats. Iranian ballistic missiles carry warheads weighing hundreds of kilograms, posing a far greater risk than drones, which are mostly intercepted before reaching Israeli airspace.
In response to the ongoing threat, the Home Front Command has mobilized its entire reserve force, deploying tens of thousands of troops nationwide to support civilian protection efforts.

Trump Helped Netanyahu Pull Off a Great Deception in Iran Attack: Report By Randy DeSoto
June 13, 2025 The Western Journal – President Donald Trump reportedly helped lull Iran into a false sense of security through the actions he took in the days leading up Israel’s surprise attack against the Islamic regime.
The Israeli strikes early Friday morning targeted key uranium enrichment sites, as well as top leaders of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
Axios reported that Israeli officials told reporters during a briefing hours after the operation began that it was coordinated with Washington.
“Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public — and didn’t express opposition in private. ‘We had a clear U.S. green light,’ one claimed,” according to the news outlet.
“The goal, they say, was to convince Iran that no attack was imminent and make sure Iranians on Israel’s target list wouldn’t move to new locations,” Axios added.
“Netanyahu’s aides even briefed Israeli reporters that Trump had tried to put the brakes on an Israeli strike in a call on Monday, when in reality the call dealt with coordination ahead of the attack, Israeli officials now say.”
Lending credence to the reporting are posts Trump made on social media Friday morning.
Trump wrote, “Two months ago I gave Iran a 60 day ultimatum to ‘make a deal.’ They should have done it! Today is day 61. I told them what to do, but they just couldn’t get there. Now they have, perhaps, a second chance!”
In an earlier post, he stated, “I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to ‘just do it,’ but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done.
“I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come — And they know how to use it,” Trump added.
The U.S. called for Iran to cease enriching uranium, which its leadership refused to do.
Fox News host Bret Baier reported that he spoke with Trump Thursday night during the attacks, and that the president told him he had been in touch with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu several times in recent days.
“The president was aware of Israel’s action before it happened,” Baier said. Further, the U.S. would help defend Israel, if needed, against any Iranian retaliation.
A reporter asked Trump at the White House earlier Thursday whether a strike by Israel against Iran was imminent.
“I don’t want to say imminent, but it looks like it’s something that could very well happen,” he coyly responded.
Trump noted he stopped a full-on war between India and Pakistan from breaking out last month, which he thought likely would have resulted in nuclear weapons being exchanged.
The implication seemed to be that there was still hope that the Israeli strike against Iran might be averted.
However, hours later, Netanyahu announced, “Moments ago, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, a targeted military operation to roll back the Iranian threat to Israel’s very survival.”
He added, “This operation will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.”
