The life of a Mossad agent in Iran.  Sent from family in Israel

You live in a two-bedroom apartment in northern Tehran.

The neighbors know you as a mid-level oil consultant. Your passport says you were born in Shiraz. Your accent is flawless. Your wife believes you met her at a wedding in Qom.

And your children call you father in Farsi “Baba”.

You tuck them in at night. You listen to them breathe. You tell them bedtime stories in Farsi. And inside, a piece of you dies.

Because you’re not Iranian. You’re not even who you say you are.

You’re a Jew from Jerusalem.

A spy.

And every day you wake up and smile through the lie because what you’re doing is keeping Jews alive.

During the 12-Day War, the stakes were unlike anything we’ve faced before.

Iran was moving fast.

Fordow was days away from enriching uranium beyond red lines. Underground missile silos near Mashhad had been loaded and hidden.

And then:

A war began but not with fanfare. With precision.

Because years before a single IDF fighter jet took off, you were already there.

Inside.

You hand-delivered sabotage code to a cyber unit in Tabriz. You passed GPS coordinates for a secret weapons convoy disguised as a medical truck.

You embedded yourself inside a power plant just to switch off one critical security feed for 47 seconds. That’s all it took.

On Day 1, a senior Revolutionary Guard general was killed.

You knew him well.

You had already sent back his entire itinerary via encrypted burst signal.

On Day 9, that secret installation that was destroyed in Tehran. No one knew how. You did.

And when the buildings went up in flames: Tehran, Kermanshah, Parchin.

You didn’t celebrate.

You sat on the roof of your Tehran apartment under cover of night and cried. Because you knew:

The people around you, your “wife”, your neighbors, even the kids who called you Baba they’d wake up tomorrow into chaos.

And you were the cause.

But the Jewish people were safe.

And that makes the pain holy.

There are no public medals. No monuments. No “thank you.”

Just an encrypted message on the final day:

Mission complete

Head back to real life and family which has become completely foreign to you.

But now all over the world, Jews can feel safe.

Because you were willing to become a ghost and give up everything you have to make sure,

Never again!

 

 

[7:29 AM, 6/24/2025] +972 50-997-7784: 🚨 TRUMP TELLS ISRAEL TO STAND DOWN AFTER CEASEFIRE VIOLATION BY IRAN

🕒 June 24, 2025 – 2:20 PM IST  Israel Realtime

⚠️ In a highly charged message, President Trump publicly warned Israel against launching retaliatory strikes following Iran’s recent ballistic missile attack, which marked a serious breach of the ceasefire agreement. Despite the escalation, Trump downplayed the impact, stating:

“I understand that Israel is angry about one missile that didn’t hit anyone – they need to calm down now.”

🚨 On Truth Social, the President delivered a direct command: “ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS. IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!” He further added that both sides had violated the ceasefire and accused Israel and Iran of fighting for so long that they “don’t know what the f@#& they’re doing,” according to Reuters.

🔸 Trump’s sharp rebuke signals the strategic limitations now placed on Israel, which is under mounting U.S. pressure to avoid further escalation. The White House is firmly focused on maintaining the ceasefire, which Trump sees as a key diplomatic success. As a result, Israel’s military freedom of action is currently constrained by the administration’s approval.

🔹 Meanwhile, the Israeli Health Ministry has released updated casualty figures from Operation Rising Lion:

– 28 Israeli citizens were killed.

– 3,238 people were evacuated to hospitals.

– Among them, 23 are listed in serious condition, 111 in moderate condition.

– The majority are lightly injured — many suffering from anxiety attacks, trauma, or injuries from falls while rushing to bomb shelters.

📌 These figures underscore the psychological and emotional toll on the civilian population, in addition to the physical casualties.

[9:49 AM, 6/24/2025] +972 50-997-7784: 🚨 IRAN VIOLATES CEASEFIRE WITH DEADLY MISSILE STRIKE; ISRAEL STRIKES TEHRAN AND AIRLIFT BEGINS AS UNITY GROWS AMID CALLS FOR DIPLOMATIC PUSH

🗓️ June 24, 2025 – 4:45 PM IST

🇮🇱 The Prime Minister’s Office confirmed that Iran launched a series of missile attacks against Israel in blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement, which was scheduled to take effect at 7:00 AM. Hours earlier, at 3:00 AM, Israel had already ceased fire after carrying out a powerful pre-dawn strike in the heart of Tehran, targeting regime infrastructure and eliminating hundreds of Basij operatives and Iranian security forces. This operation, dubbed “Rising Lion,” dealt a significant blow to Iran’s military apparatus.

However, shortly before the ceasefire began, Iran launched a barrage of missiles, one of which struck the city of Be’er Sheva, killing four Israeli civilians. Despite the formal start of the ceasefire at 7:00 AM, Iran continued its aggression, firing an additional missile at 7:06 AM and two more at 10:25 AM. These later missiles were either intercepted or landed in open areas, causing no additional casualties or damage.

💥 In retaliation, the Israeli Air Force destroyed a radar installation near Tehran used to coordinate missile activity. The rapid response underscored Israel’s readiness to defend itself even during de-escalation phases.

⚠️ In the aftermath, President Trump spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu, expressing strong support and stating: “Israel achieved all of the war’s goals.” Trump praised Israel’s restraint and emphasized confidence in the ceasefire: “ISRAEL is not going to attack Iran. All planes will turn around and head home, while doing a friendly ‘Plane Wave’ to Iran. Nobody will be hurt. The Ceasefire is in effect! Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

Trump also added, “China can now continue to purchase Oil from Iran. Hopefully, they will be purchasing plenty from the U.S., also. It was my Great Honor to make this happen!” He reaffirmed his stance: “I don’t want to see regime change in Iran — it creates chaos. They will not possess nuclear weapons — that’s the last thing on their minds right now. IRAN WILL NEVER REBUILD THEIR NUCLEAR FACILITIES!”

🇮🇱 In a rare moment of bipartisan unity, Opposition Leader Yair Lapid praised the Israeli operation in Tehran, calling it “one of the most glorious operations in the history of warfare.” He added: “I salute the security forces — and also the government. We paid a heavy price, including this morning in Be’er Sheva, but the people of Israel remain united around the goal. Now we must turn the military achievement into a diplomatic one: to demand and obtain an agreement that guarantees Iran will never be nuclear and will dismantle its missile program; to bring the hostages home and end the war in Gaza; to set Israel on a new path.”

🔹 Meanwhile, the IDF Home Front Command is expected to recommend lifting all civilian restrictions starting tomorrow, pending approval from the Defense Minister, signaling a shift toward stabilization despite Iran’s provocations.

✈️ In response to the improving situation and the partial reopening of Ben Gurion Airport, El Al Airlines has launched a large-scale emergency airlift to return tens of thousands of Israeli citizens from abroad. The airline is operating around the clock, activating its entire fleet to add thousands of seats within 24 hours. Special rescue flights from Budapest and Bucharest are scheduled for tonight. Once registered El Al passengers are assigned to these flights, remaining tickets will be released for public booking. Inbound flight prices remain capped through the end of June, and new routes from Los Angeles are now available online.

[5:07 AM, 6/24/2025] +972 50-997-7784: ⚔️ IRAN VIOLATES CEASEFIRE WITH BALLISTIC MISSILES; ISRAEL PREPARES MASSIVE RESPONSE – REPORTS OF ASSASSINATION IN TEHRAN

🕓 June 24, 2025 | 12:00 PM IST  Israel Realtime

🚨 In a significant escalation, Iran blatantly violated the newly established ceasefire by launching two ballistic missiles at Israel after the truce was already in effect. The IDF confirmed the breach through updated intelligence assessments, describing the attack as a severe and deliberate provocation by the Iranian regime.

⚠️ In response, IDF Chief of Staff, Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir, convened a situational assessment and declared that Israel would retaliate with full force. He stated unequivocally: “In light of the serious ceasefire violation committed by the Iranian regime, we will attack with force.”

‼️ Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed this position, announcing that he had formally instructed the IDF to strike back hard: “I have instructed the IDF to respond forcefully to Iran’s violation of the ceasefire with powerful strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.”

🎯 Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports have surfaced from within Iran about the possible assassination of Mojtaba Khamenei, son of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Mojtaba, widely known as a radical hardliner and likely successor to his aging father, was reportedly killed at close range in Tehran. If confirmed, this development could send shockwaves through the Iranian leadership and deepen the crisis even further.

🇮🇷 In an attempt to shift blame, Iranian state media denied responsibility for the missile attack, claiming instead that the assault was orchestrated by foreign intelligence operatives. A statement broadcast by Iranian TV alleged: “Mossad agents launched the missiles so that Israel could complete the war and justify its attacks.”

📵 On the Israeli side, a directive from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered all cabinet ministers to refrain from interviews or social media activity until further notice. This move suggests a coordinated effort is underway, likely involving high-level military planning and operations.

▪️ At Ben Gurion International Airport, operations are cautiously ramping up despite uncertainty over the ceasefire’s status. If the truce holds—which appears increasingly doubtful—takeoffs and landings are expected to increase from 2 to 8 per hour, with a goal of 20 per hour. A revised flight schedule for the coming month is expected soon, and several international airlines have already expressed interest in resuming service to Israel.

🏫 In a related domestic update, the Ministry of Education issued a public clarification that no directive has been given to reopen schools or educational institutions tomorrow. Reopening will depend on approval by the Home Front Command and successful completion of security checks at each institution. Parents and staff are advised to await further official guidance.

🇮🇱 With tensions rapidly rising, the ceasefire agreement appears to be unraveling in real time. Israel is preparing for a major response, and the situation remains extremely fluid. More updates are expected as the IDF operational decisions unfold.

[6:06 AM, 6/24/2025] +972 50-997-7784: ⚠️ IRAN DEFIES CEASEFIRE WITH BALLISTIC MISSILE STRIKE AND THREATENS FURTHER ESCALATION

📅 June 24, 2025 – 1:00 PM IST

⚠️ Amid rising tensions, the Iranian regime has openly threatened to continue missile strikes against Israel if it dares to retaliate for the recent ballistic missile launch that shattered the ceasefire agreement. This direct challenge marks a dangerous escalation, with Iran now attempting to reframe the narrative of its aggression.

❗️In an official statement, Iran’s Supreme National Security Council warned: “The hands of the Iranian Armed Forces are on the trigger, ready to deliver a decisive and regrettable response to any act of aggression by the enemy.” The message signals Iran’s preparedness for further confrontation despite the ceasefire, which was intended to de-escalate the region.

⚔️ Iranian officials are shifting their story. While initially denying any launches after the ceasefire began, Tehran now claims its strikes were retaliatory. According to the “Khatam al-Anbiya” command—responsible for Iranian military operations—the Zionist entity (Israel) conducted three waves of attacks on Iranian targets, continuing until 09:00. Tehran insists it had warned of retaliation if struck, stating that Israel would “pay a heavy price.” This contradicts prior Iranian claims that they did not launch any missiles post-ceasefire.

🟥 An Iranian official told CNN: “No missiles have been fired at Israel since the ceasefire went into effect. But if Israel makes a mistake, it will be attacked, just as it was attacked an hour before the ceasefire began.” The contradictory messaging reflects internal confusion or a strategic attempt to justify aggression.

💩 Meanwhile, Houthis continue their militant stance. Senior Houthi official Muhammad al-Bakhiti claimed the ceasefire agreement between Iran, the U.S., and Israel proves that “both only understand the language of force.” He declared that attacks on Israel will persist until all aggression on Gaza ends and the siege is fully lifted—tying Houthi operations directly to the ongoing conflict.

💥 Regionally, Iran’s attack has triggered diplomatic consequences. The Qatari Foreign Ministry has summoned the Iranian ambassador in Doha following Tehran’s strike on the U.S. Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. This rare move from Qatar signals growing regional frustration over Iran’s reckless behavior, which now threatens broader Gulf stability.

NEW: Israel Says They “will Respond with Force” to Iran Attack

 

New Study Reveals Israeli Health Ministry’s COVID-19 Vaccine Safety Claims for Pregnant Women Were Misleading   BY  MORDECHAI SONES

Findings directly undermine Health Ministry campaign, which promoted vaccine as universally safe and explicitly denied any link to miscarriages

JUNE 23, 2025  Jewish Home

new pre-print study has cast serious doubt on the Israeli Health Ministry’s 2021 assurances that COVID-19 vaccines were safe for pregnant women, revealing a troubling gap between the Ministry’s claims and the evidence that has since emerged.

Contents

Health Ministry’s 2021 Claims: Bold Assertions, Thin Evidence

New Evidence Exposes Early Pregnancy Risks

A Deliberate Strategy to Prioritize Uptake Over Accuracy

Eroding Trust and Raising Questions

A Reckoning for Public Health

Analyzing data from over 200,000 pregnancies in Israel, the study found that women vaccinated between weeks 8 and 13 of pregnancy—early in the first trimester—experienced a higher-than-expected rate of fetal losses: an additional 3.9 per 100 women for the first dose and 1.9 per 100 for the third dose.

These findings directly undermine the Ministry’s campaign, which promoted the vaccine as universally safe and explicitly denied any link to miscarriages, suggesting instead that the messaging was a deliberate strategy to drive vaccination rates rather than a reflection of the full evidence.

Health Ministry’s 2021 Claims: Bold Assertions, Thin Evidence

In January and February 2021, as Israel positioned itself as a global leader in COVID-19 vaccination, the Health Ministry launched an aggressive campaign targeting pregnant women. With slogans like “Come get vaccinated! For the future of your children,” the Ministry rolled out a series of definitive statements:

  • Blanket Safety: “The Ministry of Health recommends the COVID vaccine for pregnant women. The recommendation is based on extensive data accumulated in Israel and worldwide, indicating the safety and efficacy of the vaccine for both the mother and the fetus.”
  • No Miscarriage Risk: “The vaccine does not cause miscarriages or stillbirths. The accumulated data shows that the miscarriage rate in vaccinated women is similar to the miscarriage rate in the general population.”
  • Anytime Vaccination: “Vaccination is recommended in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. It can be vaccinated at any time convenient for the pregnant woman, as part of routine pregnancy check-ups.”

These claims were presented as unassailable truths, with no hint of uncertainty or trimester-specific risks. The Ministry’s messaging implied a comprehensive understanding of the vaccine’s safety profile across all stages of pregnancy. Yet, the 2025 study reveals that this confidence was misplaced—or perhaps strategically overstated—particularly for the vulnerable early weeks of gestation.

New Evidence Exposes Early Pregnancy Risks

The 2025 study, currently in pre-print and pending peer review, offers a stark counterpoint to the Ministry’s assurances. Drawing on Israel’s robust health data systems, it highlights specific risks tied to the timing of vaccination:

  • Elevated Fetal Loss: Women vaccinated between weeks 8 and 13 faced a heightened risk of fetal loss, a period when the fetus is especially susceptible to external factors.
  • Dose-Specific Impact: The risk was most pronounced for first and third doses, with 3.9 additional fetal losses per 100 women for the former and 1.9 for the latter during this window.
  • Data-Driven Insight: The study’s reliance on Israel’s extensive vaccination records lends weight to its findings, given the country’s high vaccination rates and detailed tracking.

These results expose a critical flaw in the Ministry’s blanket safety claims, suggesting that the “extensive data” touted in 2021 either failed to account for early pregnancy risks or was selectively interpreted to support a broader vaccination push.

A Deliberate Strategy to Prioritize Uptake Over Accuracy

The gap between the Health Ministry’s 2021 assertions and the 2025 study’s findings points to a calculated approach rather than an oversight. At the height of the pandemic, with Israel under pressure to vaccinate its entire population, the Ministry opted for a messaging strategy that prioritized vaccine uptake over nuanced transparency. By framing the vaccine as unequivocally safe across all trimesters—and dismissing miscarriage risks outright—the Ministry avoided the potential hesitancy that might have arisen from acknowledging data gaps or uncertainties, particularly for early pregnancy.

This approach becomes more apparent when considering the study’s focus on weeks 8 to 13, a stage when many women may not yet have confirmed their pregnancies or sought prenatal care. The Ministry’s failure to flag this period as potentially risky suggests a deliberate choice to streamline its message, even if it meant glossing over evidence that might have complicated the campaign. The 2025 study’s revelation of elevated fetal loss rates in this window underscores the consequences of that decision.

Eroding Trust and Raising Questions

The Health Ministry’s strategy has left a legacy of doubt. Pregnant women, who depended on the Ministry for reliable guidance, were given assurances that the new evidence now calls into question. The discrepancy suggests that the drive to vaccinate may have trumped the duty to provide a complete picture of the risks, particularly for those in early pregnancy. This raises broader concerns about the integrity of public health communication during the pandemic: When does the push for compliance override the need for accuracy?

Israel’s role as a vaccination pioneer makes these findings especially significant. The country’s data-rich environment should have enabled a more precise assessment of risks by trimester, yet the Ministry’s messaging remained broad and unwavering. Whether this reflects a lack of scrutiny or a conscious effort to downplay potential issues, the outcome is the same: Pregnant women were not fully informed.

A Reckoning for Public Health

The 2025 study lays bare the shortcomings of the Health Ministry’s 2021 claims, revealing a disconnect between the assurances offered and the reality that later emerged. The evidence of increased fetal loss among women vaccinated in early pregnancy challenges the Ministry’s portrayal of the vaccine as uniformly safe—a portrayal that appears to have been shaped by a deliberate strategy to boost uptake rather than a commitment to full disclosure.

As research continues, the lesson is clear: The Ministry’s failure to adapt its guidance in real time—or to acknowledge the limits of its data—has left a gap that this study begins to fill. Pregnant women should weigh the evolving evidence carefully. The stakes are too high for anything less.

🟫DANGEROUS FAKE NEWS, FAKE RESCUE, IRAN REGIME INFO, AGENT(s) CAUGHT, MK’s REPRIMANDED

[10:40 AM, 6/23/2025] +972 54-668-0334  Israel Realtime

‼️ DANGEROUS FAKE NEWS ON HOME FRONT COMMAND AND SIRENS – IDF: In recent hours, messages have been circulating online regarding alleged new instructions from the Home Front Command and the existence of a widespread malfunction in the siren system and in the app.  This is a FAKE STATEMENT (intended to endanger you).

🎗️RUMORS OF A HOSTAGE RESCUE from Gaza is FAKE NEWS.

▪️ELECTRICITY RESTORED after damage from an Iranian missile hit in the south.  Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Eli Cohen: We have prepared in advance for the possibility of damage to electrical installations.  Restoration was within hours.

▪️ON THE IRAN REGIME – by Prof. Harlan Reynolds: Iran seems to be an example of the “irrational regime hypothesis,” in which the actions needed to achieve internal power in a regime are at odds with the actions needed to succeed in the outside world. (World War II Japan is a classic example.) It generally takes a big shock to overcome this dynamic once it’s in place. Hiroshima and Nagasaki did it for the Japanese. The Israeli/American air campaign may do it for Iran.

▪️ANOTHER IRANIAN AGENT CAUGHT – As part of a combined operation by the General Security Service and the Tel Aviv District Fraud Division, a 27-year-old suspect, a resident of Tel Aviv, was arrested yesterday after being suspected of carrying out various missions on behalf of a hostile foreign entity for several months.  The agent received thousands in digital currency to document the homes of elected officials, document military bases, and spray graffiti messages against the government.

.. It was also reported today that last month a Haifa resident was arrested on suspicion of spying on behalf of Iran on a woman close to PM Netanyahu.

▪️MILITARY EQUIPMENT THIEF CAUGHT – A 42-year-old resident of Ma’ar was arrested after posing as a reservist and entering military bases in the north of the country several times – with the aim of stealing weapons and military equipment.

▪️OLD CITY LOCKED DOWN?  The Knesset Constitution Committee will hold a hearing today on the police decision to close all entrances to the Old City in Jerusalem, and to not allow entry to anyone who is not a resident of the Old City since the beginning of the Iran war.

▪️KNESSET SUSPENDS AND REPRIMANDS MK’s –

.. MK Ayman Odeh will be suspended for two weeks and will not receive pay after he defamed the IDF and said it was carrying out massacres and starvation.  Some members were working towards expelling him.

.. Arab-Israeli MK Aida Touma Suleiman was suspended for three days after accusing the IDF of a massacre.

.. Arab-Israeli MK Ahmed Tibi received a severe reprimand for calling our soldiers “murderers in uniform”.

.. MK Michal Shir of Yesh Atid was publicly criticized after calling PM Netanyahu a “Hamas accomplice.”

.. MK Mai Golanof Likud will not be able to address four Knesset sessions after a physical confrontation with Yesh Atid MK Merav Ben Ari.

▪️MIN OF EDUCATION PULLS BACK decision to defund 80 (Haredi) schools that continued operating in violation of Home Front Command war safety regulations, on condition that they do not re-open the institutions without approval. Behind the scenes, the Yeshivas Committee acted on the issue. (The point being to prevent crowds or gatherings that create the possibility of a huge mass casualty event from an Iranian attack.)

▪️HIGH COURT SENIOR JUDGE PREVENTS hearing scheduled for Wednesday on the emergency appointment of a new Shin Bet head due to the war, because the courts are operating on emergency schedule because of the war.  This contradicts the position of High Court Judge Solberg, who ruled that the hearing will take place this week due to the urgency.  The Justice Minister is very upset, stating this seriously damages Israel’s security.

♦️IDF ATTACKING IN IRAN – The Air Force attacked headquarters and assets of the Internal Security Forces and the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran, Iran.  These forces consist of various brigades and commands, and are responsible on behalf of the Iranian regime’s military forces for defending the homeland, suppressing threats, and preserving the regime’s stability.

As well, they attacked access routes to the Fordo nuclear enrichment facility, the Basij internal suppression force, the Alvarez brigade responsible for maintaining stability of the regime, and the Sayed Al-Shahada brigade responsible for riot control and suppressing internal threats, and a wave of attacks in the Ahvaz province in southwestern Iran near the Iraqi border.

Israel also explicitly attacked Iran’s Evin Prison, a facility focused on political prisoners, blowing open the entrance.

GAZA – EVAC ORDER: after rockets were fired, the IDF publishes another evacuation notice for a part of Khan Yunis.

.. IDF destroys a multi-kilometer tunnel from Khan Yunis.

 IRANIAN CROWN PRINCE CALLS FOR REVOLUTION AS ISRAEL STRIKES IRGC STRONGHOLDS IN TEHRAN

🕓 June 23, 2025 – 6:00 PM (Israel Time)  [11:14 AM ET, 6/23/2025] +972 50-997-7784:

‼️ Iranian Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi issued his boldest statement yet, declaring a national revolution against the Islamic regime. In a direct message to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, he announced: “Step down. If you do, you will receive a fair trial and due process of law.” Pahlavi called on current regime members and defectors to join the revolution, framing this moment as a turning point for Iran’s future.

💥 As this dramatic call reverberated, the Israeli Air Force launched one of its most intense bombardments on Tehran, targeting high-value regime sites. Over 100 munitions were dropped within just two hours in a coordinated strike wave.

🎯 The IDF confirmed hits on the Thar-Allah Headquarters, the IRGC’s main command center responsible for defending Tehran from both internal unrest and external threats.

🎯 The Seyyed al-Shohada Division, also under IRGC control and tasked with suppressing domestic protests, was struck as well.

🎯 Israeli fighter jets also hit the central intelligence headquarters of Iran’s Law Enforcement Forces, which oversees surveillance and internal communication networks within the regime.

According to Iranian sources, including the Governor of Tehran, Israeli strikes have now hit more than 200 sites across the province since June 13. Notable among them were the Iranian Energy Ministry building and the IRGC Basij paramilitary headquarters.

❗️IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin warned civilians in Tehran to “stay away from Iranian military facilities,” stating that strikes would deepen and continue to target the IRGC’s power centers.

🔥 One of the most symbolic blows was the strike on Evin Prison — infamous for housing political prisoners. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar confirmed the hit with a defiant message: “Long live freedom… We warned Iran time and again: stop targeting civilians! They continued, including this morning. Our response: Viva la libertad, carajo!”

🇮🇱 The IDF reiterated that these strikes are part of a broader effort to cripple Iran’s military infrastructure and defend Israeli national security. Military officials stated that operations will persist until the threat from Iranian soil is neutralized.

The Seven-Front War: How Israel Rewrote the Rules of Deterrence in 2025.

 

🎗️ *IDF SPOKESMAN: “RISING LION” STRIKES IRANIAN TERROR NETWORKS; AS BODIES OF THREE ISRAELI HOSTAGES RECOVERED FROM GAZA IN JOINT IDF-SHIN BET OPERATION*

June 22, 2025 @ 1:50 PM IST  Israel Realtime

🇮🇱 Following a briefing by IDF Spokesperson Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin, Israel revealed it is conducting one of its most ambitious operations to date—Operation “Rising Lion.” According to Defrin, the mission spans multiple fronts and includes long-range precision operations inside Iran, nearly 1,500 kilometers away. “Let me be clear: the Iranian regime is responsible for the war that has raged for over 600 days,” he stated. “From Gaza to Lebanon, from Yemen to Tehran — the Iranian regime has spent years fueling terror across the region. And now, the cost of their aggression is being felt on their own soil.”

As part of this global effort to dismantle Iran’s terror infrastructure, U.S. forces struck nuclear sites in Iran overnight, a move described as a pivotal moment in halting the regime’s ability to endanger regional and global stability. Defrin emphasized that the IDF is operating “day and night” to meet all strategic objectives, while systematically eroding Iran’s ability to threaten Israel.

In a joint operation by the IDF and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), the bodies of three Israeli hostages were recovered in an exchange with Hamas from the Gaza Strip. The victims were identified as Ofra Keidar (71), a mother of three from Kibbutz Be’eri, who was murdered alongside her husband Shmuel; Yonatan Samerano (21), abducted from the Nova music festival after being shot by Hamas terrorists; and Staff Sergeant Shay Levinson (19), a tank commander who was killed while defending Israeli communities on October 7. His body was also taken to Gaza after the battle.

Disturbingly, one of the Hamas terrorists involved in the Nova massacre was identified as a UNRWA employee, raising serious questions about the role of UN personnel in the October 7th atrocities. Defrin stated, “Let that sink in: UN workers took part in the October 7th massacre.”

As of today, fifty Israeli hostages remain in brutal captivity. Brig. Gen. Defrin concluded with a powerful message: “We will not rest until every hostage is home. We will continue to act, with resolve and determination, to protect the citizens of Israel.”

🇮🇱 In a national address, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel and the United States carried out a highly coordinated strike operation—Operation Am Kalavi (“Rising Lion”)—against three of Iran’s key nuclear sites: Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan. Netanyahu declared: “From the beginning of this operation, I promised that Iran’s nuclear facilities would be destroyed—one way or another. That promise was kept.” He described how U.S. B-2 stealth bombers struck Fordow, while American submarines launched Tomahawk missiles at Natanz and Isfahan. Netanyahu emphasized that the missions were executed in full operational coordination between the IDF, the Mossad, and U.S. military forces.

Netanyahu praised President Trump, stating: “President Trump is a great friend of Israel, a friend like no other… I thank him from the bottom of my heart, and I know that I speak from the heart of every Israeli.” He concluded his address with a message of unity and resolve: “We stand together. We fight together. And with God’s help—we win together.” Quoting the Torah, he added: “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”

🇮🇱 Defense Minister Israel Katz echoed these sentiments, describing the U.S. strikes as a “historic decision” that aligned perfectly with Israel’s own objectives. Katz stated, “I congratulate President Trump for acting to ensure Iran does not achieve nuclear capability—a danger to Israel, the region, and even U.S. national security.” He also commended Prime Minister Netanyahu for his leadership throughout Operation “Am Kalavi”, saying it represents a historic milestone in Israeli-American cooperation and a strategic breakthrough in neutralizing Iran’s nuclear threat.

President Trump Announces US Dropped Bombs on THREE Nuclear Sites in Iran – B-2 Bombers Used in Strikes

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan. All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter,” Trump said on Truth Social on Saturday.

 

🚨 U.S. AND ISRAEL GEAR UP FOR POTENTIAL STRIKE ON IRAN WITH B-2 BOMBERS, CYBER OPERATIONS, AND CIVIL DEFENSE DEPLOYMENTS AS D-DAY NEARS

June 21, 2025 | 9:20 PM IST  Israel Realtime

‼️ U.S. Reinforces Missile Defenses in Israel

The United States is actively replenishing its stockpile of THAAD interceptor missiles deployed on Israeli soil, according to The Wall Street Journal. U.S. Navy destroyers are now positioned within range to intercept incoming missile threats aimed at Israel. Notably, there have been no ballistic missile launches from Iran since 2:42 AM—marking 19 hours of unusual quiet on that front.

💥 U.S. B-2 Bombers in Motion; Guam Reinforced: At least six B-2 Spirit bombers lifted off from Whiteman Air Force Base earlier today, escorted by eight U.S. Air Force refueling tankers. These aircraft can conduct long-range bombing missions directly to Iran. Simultaneously, additional B-2 bombers have been forward-deployed to Guam, a move confirmed by Reuters. While the Pentagon claims no formal strike order has been issued, the scale and precision of these deployments suggest imminent readiness.

Israel Ready to Strike Fordow If U.S. Delays:  Israel is reportedly prepared to carry out a solo attack on Iran’s Fordow nuclear facility if the U.S. opts against military action. This is according to N12 News. In response to rising tensions, Prime Minister Netanyahu has instructed all Israeli ministers to avoid public statements in the coming days—signaling sensitive operational developments.

‼️ Potential First Wave: Air, Naval & Cyber Forces: Sources in the Middle East indicate that all battle stations are on high alert. The buildup seen in the Pacific might be a decoy, with real strikes expected from alternate fronts. U.S. strategy reportedly includes coordinated attacks using the Air Force, Navy, and even President Trump’s Space Force. The first wave will aim to dismantle Iran’s ability to respond. Israel is expected to actively participate alongside U.S. bombers, likely providing tactical support and escorts. B-52 bombers may also be tasked with striking Houthi targets. A significant cyber offensive is expected as D-DAY nears, with Supreme Leader Khamenei potentially targeted in initial strikes.

⚠️ Massive U.S. Build-Up Near Iran

Recent satellite imagery of Al Amir Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia—only 600 km from Iran—reveals a significant U.S. military presence. Observed in the images are 22 refueling aircraft, 53 F-16 fighter jets, and 10 transport planes. This deployment points to full operational readiness for a potential multi-front engagement.

⚠️ Russia Monitoring Closely, Assisting Iran

Russia is providing Iran with real-time intelligence in anticipation of a U.S. strike. Russian officials now believe that U.S. involvement on the ground or in direct strikes is likely in the coming hours or days. In a notable development, Russian scientists are still present at the Bushehr nuclear facility.

🔸 Trump’s Inner Circle Split on Timing

Within President Trump’s administration, deep divisions persist between hawks pushing for an immediate strike and those advocating for diplomatic patience. According to The Washington Post, those urging restraint have gained some ground. However, President Trump stated: “Two weeks is the right time to see if the Iranians come to their senses or not. I will give Iran a maximum of two weeks.”

🔐 Israel Fortifies Civilian Defense Infrastructure: The Israeli government has approved a comprehensive plan to bolster public protection, investing 100 million NIS to upgrade 500 existing public bomb shelters—mostly in central Israel, which has been a frequent Iranian target—and to deploy 1,000 mobile roadside shelters across vulnerable areas. According to the Defense Ministry, this decision was made “in light of the security situation,” and was finalized through an emergency phone vote.

Israel Killed 9 Iranian Nuke Scientists in Their Sleep – Special, Unidentified Weapon Used for Simultaneous Assassinations   By C. Douglas Golden

June 21, 2025

A week after Israel seriously compromised Iran’s nuclear program by wiping out nearly all of its top scientists, details of the surprise attack — albeit sketchy ones — are beginning to emerge.

According to multiple sources, the operation to take out the scientists — a sub-operation within Operation Rising Lion, the name given to the attacks on Iran that began in the early hours of last Friday — was called Operation Narnia, according to numerous sources.

The Jerusalem Post said that the name — taken from the fantasy world in C.S. Lewis’ “Chronicles of Narnia” books — “reflects the operation’s improbable nature.”

Indeed, the operation managed to wipe out nine out of the top 10 scientists in Iran’s nuclear program: Fereydoun Abbasi, Mohammad Mahdi Tehranchi, Akbar Matlali Zadeh, Saeed Beraji, Amir Hassan Faqahi, Abd al-Hamid Minushahr, Mansour Asgari, Ahmad Reza Davalparki Daryani, and Ali Bakhayi Kathehremi.

All nine scientists were sleeping in their beds when they were killed; Israel decided to time the operation at night and simultaneously so there would be no time to tip off the others.

The tenth scientist was killed shortly thereafter in subsequent strikes on Iranian leadership and the country’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs.

The news was originally reported by Hebrew-language Israeli television station Channel 12, which the Times of Israel said learned the scientists “were killed using a special weapon whose details were barred from publication.”

The 10th nuclear scientist was killed shortly after the other nine, as part of the overnight Thursday-Friday Israeli operation, which included strikes on Iran’s ballistic missile program and the Natanz nuclear site, along with the elimination of top members of the Islamic Republic’s military leadership, the network says.

The nuclear scientists were all killed while they were sleeping in their beds, with Israel deciding to carry out the assassinations simultaneously so that there wouldn’t be time to tip off those being targeted.

The scientists apparently believed they were safe from such targeting in their homes, a senior Israeli official tells Channel 12, noting that previously assassinated nuclear scientists were killed while heading to their cars after work.

It’s unclear what methods the Israelis used to kill the scientists, but the Jewish state has shown remarkable ingenuity in tracking down its enemies and catching them in situations where they’re unaware of the danger.

Perhaps the best recent example of this was the operation which used explosive pagers to eliminate much of Hezbollah’s leadership structure in a scheme carried out last autumn.

Israeli intelligence went so far as to license and build a pager with the plastic explosive pentaerythritol tetranitrate — better known as PETN, one of the components of the bomb that took down Pan Am Flight 103 in 1988 — and create an elaborate backstory for the pager model ordered by Hezbollah leadership.

According to Reuters, the Lebanese-based terror organization had switched to pagers after it realized that Israel had infiltrated its cellular networks. That attack killed at least 40 people.

It’s unclear whether that weapon is similar to the weapon used in Operation Narnia or if a different strategy was employed to kill the scientists.

However, Channel 12 reported that the Iranian scientists had been tracked for years by Israeli intelligence; the decision to eliminate them was made last November.

“Israeli intelligence officials felt that the killing of the nuclear scientists was the most important part of Operation Narnia because the military leadership and equipment killed would be more easily replaceable, while the knowledge held by the nuclear scientists would take much longer to ascertain, the network said, citing an unnamed senior Israeli official,” the Times of Israel reported.

Israel has also leveraged the attacks as part of its information warfare against Iran, sending a message from the Israel Defense Forces’ social media account in Persian saying that senior regime officials were privately pleading with them not to turn the country into Gaza or Lebanon after the initial set of attacks.

That tactical edge also helped when Iran struck a building that belongs to the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. “Iran claims to have attacked a Mossad building with missile strikes,” the post read. “Fortunately, no one was there … everyone is in Iran.
