Tic-Toc No. 8 On The War On Iran
This report seems genuine:
Exclusive: Iran given advance notice as US insisted attack on nuclear sites is ‘one-off’ - Amwaj
US President Donald Trump says three key nuclear facilities in Iran have been “obliterated,” while threatening more strikes “if peace does not come quickly.” This comes as Amwaj.media has learned that Washington notified Tehran of the strikes. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a high-ranking Iranian political source confirmed that the Trump administration on June 21 conveyed that it did not seek an all-out confrontation, and only intended to strike the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites. Importantly, the senior source also confirmed that the targeted sites were evacuated, with "most" of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium kept in secure locations.
The Pentagon claims that 30 cruise missiles were fired from submarines against Iranian nuclear sites near Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow. The main strike was allegedly by three B-2 heavy bomber which dropped six bunker buster bombs on the buried enrichment facility in Fordow. There are doubts that this indeed has happened:
My theory for the evening? I think this was a low-risk, low-impact attack entirely conducted using submarine-launched cruise missiles, and the DoD is simply lying about heavy bomber involvement for propaganda purposes.
We will have to wait for before/after satellite pictures and/or video from the ground before assessing the attack.
What we do know for sure is that the U.S. has launched an unprovoked, illegitimate attack against another country. The attack was also in breach of the Non-Nuclear Proliferation Treaty. Iran could, and now maybe should, resign from that treaty and reject inspections by IAEA personnel.

US made aggression on Iran, in Israel interest. As all could know before, with many acts of military and media preparation. How could anyone believe it would not happen? Only if cut out of reality. Details are irrelevant, advanced warning or not, this is escalation.
Trump is Kabbalist, Zionist, his whole family is, liar, con man, Jewish Messiah or person that ushers him.
He is Chabad, as Satanyahoo, likely as Putin. Their goal is destruction of this system, including many humans.
Iran is just latest in the list of horrible crimes, Palestine, Yemen, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Syria.
As Brooking long ago said, path to Persia is Syria.
Trump is there to deceive stupid and deceived MAGAns not to figure out all is MIGA.

Many geopolitical commentators claim the actual goal is regime change.
That is true here.
Any mechanical device (anything from carriers to refineries to an enrichment site) that is destroyed can be rebuilt.
But regime change is altering the country itself by altering leadership.
Israel/US so far are unsuccessful.
The Iranian regime won first round against Israel.
The results of round two, direct US bombing, await.
Bombing nuclear sites especially reactors as Israel attacked a few days ago, attempting to trigger a chernobyl is actually worse than a nuclear bomb.
These are beyond war crimes.

Why purposefully attack ineffectively unless you're bluffing?

The sneer is gone from Casey's lip, his teeth are clenched in hate,
He pounds with cruel violence his bat upon the plate;
And now the pitcher holds the ball, and now he lets it go,
And now the air is shattered by the force of Casey's blow.
Oh, somewhere in this favoured land the sun is shining bright,
The band is playing somewhere, and somewhere hearts are light;
And somewhere men are laughing, and somewhere children shout,
But there is no joy in Mudville—mighty Casey has struck out.

Thanks for the early report.
I'm curious what the US would have to gain from a symbolic attack, even though it feels like it. I doubt it's a salami tactic because Iran, observing earlier responses, will react. I think on Diego Garcia as to still prevent an attack on those useless conniving Arab rulers.
Slightly unrelated:
Israeli channels are furious because someone filmed an Israeli hit a pole while fleeing to shelters.

Here is my take on the situation.
For a first strike, this was a VERY lame raid. Even if Trump's account is accurate, which is not likely, the US gained very little for all the effort that was put into it.
Trump's Truth Social post and subsequent gloating seemed like self sabotage to me. The Truth Social post seemed to treat attacking a nuclear facility as not a serious issue – just something to throw in a social media blog. The gloating was about the best possible way to turn any victorious emotions into pure hatred of the US.
As far as the raid itself went, I believe that China detected the incoming raid, informed Russia and Iran that it was a “safe” raid. So Iran put away it's AD, and let Trump destroy the US reputation. I don't believe for a second that anything important was destroyed. Iran had months, years?, to prepare their defenses.
The US spent a lot of time, effort, and money, and got basically nothing for it. Future damage to Israel will be much higher. And when Iran hits US military bases in the Middle East, most of the world will cheer. Either that or be mad at Iran for not doing more.
This is a sad day for the US.
* Note: If the US informed Iran about the attack before hand: Who came up with something this stupid? And who approved it and agreed with it?

Agree, Kabuki theatre. When you are weak (the US is) try to appear strong. The B2 bombers are fat easy targets for 1960s era air defense. The 'bunker busters' are gravity bombs. The planes have to fly right over the target and announced they would do so. So called 'stealth' is BS, the Serbians proved that in 1999 when they hit 3 stealth fighters. If the US had really sent 3 bombers deep into Iran, to a preannounced location, none would have returned. That part is a hoax only the credulous and ignorant could believe.

Statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of #Iran concerning the #UnitedStates military aggression against Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities
بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran condemns in the strongest possible terms, the United States’ brutal military aggression against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities—a grave and unprecedented violation of the fundamental principles of the Charter of the United Nations and the international law.
The war-mongering and lawless regime of the United States of America is held fully responsible for the dangerous consequences and far-reaching implications of this egregious act of aggression and heinous crime.
The U.S. military aggression against the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of a UN member state—carried out in collusion with the genocidal Israeli regime—once again laid bare the depth of depravity that governs American foreign policy and revealed the extent of hostility harbored by the U.S. ruling establishment against the peace-seeking and independence-loving people of Iran.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is resolved to defend Iran's territory, sovereignty, security and people by all force and means against the United States' criminal aggression.
The U.S. unlawful attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, which occurred in the early hours of the 10th day of Israel’s military aggression against Iran, has unequivocally exposed Washington’s criminal complicity with the Zionist regime in orchestrating and waging a war against Iran.
This act of aggression, perpetrated by a permanent member of the Security Council, against Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities constitutes not only a flagrant breach of the UN Charter—especially the prohibition of the use of force under Article 2(4) and the obligation to respect states' territorial integrity and sovereignty—but also a violation of the UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and a devastating blow to the global non-proliferation regime.
Silence in the face of such blatant aggression would plunge the world into an unprecedented level of danger and chaos.
The Islamic Republic of Iran reminds the #UnitedNations, the Security Council, the UN Secretary-General, the International Atomic Energy Agency (#IAEA), and other relevant international bodies of their responsibilities to take urgent and decisive action in response to this appalling breach of international law.
As a founding member of the United Nations, the Islamic Republic of Iran calls on the Organization and its responsible member states to fulfill their responsibilities in the face of the United States’ blatant unlawful unilateral acts against Iran.
We urge the UN Security Council to convene an emergency session to unequivocally condemn this criminal act of aggression by the United States against Iran and to hold the United States accountable for its egregious violation of the fundamental principles of United Nations Charter and of the norms of international law.
The responsibility of the IAEA and its Director General—who, through evident bias in favor of warmongering parties, paved the way for this recent catastrophe—is now clearer than ever. We call on the IAEA Board of Governors to immediately convene and carry out its legal responsibility in response to this dangerous U.S. attack on Iran’s peaceful nuclear facilities, all of which have been under the Agency’s full safeguards and monitoring.
The world must not forget that it was the United States that, in the midst of a diplomatic process, betrayed diplomacy by supporting the genocidal and lawbreaking Israeli regime to impose a war of aggression on the Iranian nation. Now, in completion of that regime’s unlawful and criminal acts, the United States itself has launched a dangerous war against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
It has now become abundantly clear to all that the very regime which enjoys permanent membership in the Security Council is beholden to no principle or morality and will stop at no illegality or crime to serve the aims of a genocidal, occupying regime.

My take FWIW: AIPAC & US Zionists massaged Trump with bags of money to get him to bomb Iran really bigly. Millions of beautiful dollars secured, Trump ok'd bombing of Iranian nuclear sites but not too hard to not risk too much retaliation.
Some part of American "intelligence" warned Iran so they could evacuate the sites. Trump the showman satisfied. Iran got it. Won't bomb US back, rather finish Israel.
Trump & co and possibly even US Zionists are probably so tired of Israel by now that they don't mind Iran destroying it.

Keep pounding on Israel, west is getting low on interceptors, soon Shaheds alone will be enough, Israel getting demilitarized, war of attrition is the way to go.
US did their obligatory punch, I dont see a reason for them to punch again since they "obliterated" their targets LOL, Israel keeps bombing stuff in Iran with their "total air dominance", Iran paying back in spades with their daily salvos.
They are lying about using the bombers, Trump reminds me of Bhagdad Bob now.

The point is that just about everybody else in Congress on both sides of the aisle are also fans of all things Israel, take Zionist money, and marry into their families. Congress has the power to remove POTUS from office. So, if Trump did as you suggested and told Israel to go pound sand, he'd be out of the job by the end of the week.
And, whoever replaces Trump - whether its Vance or some other knob - will get the message loud and clear: Israel first, Israel second, Israel last. Nothing material would change except the US might actually attack Iran in such a way that Iran would have to retaliate against the US.

Well one could say that Musk gave the approx or more than all that anyway, and that was from one person. So why not just do what Musk wants? Does he want Iran destroyed? A great unopened market for him if it is kept whole, right?
Little white cabbage 0839
Well why move the material if the three sites were the most secure in construction? If built to such exacting standards than why bother moving the material at all. Unless the sites were not as secure as trumpeted and/ or they were afraid of commando raids in situ? Or maybe even traitors who work there.
Another reason to move it was simply to have NOONE know where the material is ,apart from a very close trusted inner circle. Then move it all back again , once the risk of further bombing or war by the US is minimised. By then you would think you would have weeded out all the traitors in the system as well. So back again and no worker or scientist will be a traitor.
As for nuclear signature? Would Iran or US ever admit a nuclear release anyway? I don’t think so. Iran won’t , as it will be shown to be weak and the US won’t as it will be shown to be a war-criminal or uncaring ,allowing nuclear pollution to irradiate their EU and Arab vassals too. So ironically , both parties will keep the secret for their own reasons.
A minority report opinion is that there is no nuclear signature because there was no nuclear material actually stored there at the time. We will see.

Apparently, the Iranians removed the enriched Uranium from Fordow days before the strike - there was also increased defensive activity prior to the strike.

Looks like Iran will tell the IAEA to take a hike - of course we all know the IAEA is another Western captured body, not fit for purpose.
" Following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency has issued the following announcements:
Iran will significantly increase enriched uranium production by activating a new enrichment facility at a secure and previously prepared location;
The first-generation IR-1 centrifuges at the underground Fordow facility will be replaced with advanced IR-6 centrifuges;
Iran will substantially reduce its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and may expel IAEA inspectors"

That depends on the type of economic attack they will get next and who will be behind it.
For example imagine a movie. If Russia were US, with a working npp and 2 more to go, they would say "look, we put a wooden s400 and no one dared to hit it. give us all your uranium resources, mines and shit, and you get electricity at good price or we'll leave and Israel will blow them up leaving you with many Chernobyls to enjoy for the next 100 years"
If China were US, they would offer the same deal but for the entire oil production, "for protection" of course. After 3-5-7 years of severe poverty, bombs and disease, a head-chopper leadership will be easily forced

The attack, according to this.
"US B-2A bombers dropped 12 GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs on the Fordow facility, while another bomber dropped two bombs on Natanz.
Thirty Tomahawk cruise missiles were also launched from a US submarine, targeting sites in Natanz and Isfahan as part of a coordinated attack on nuclear facilities"

Takeaway #1:
Regardless of the way this war turns out,all current Western air defense is effectively obsolete and useless against peer and near peer military powers, and will soon be obsolete against far weaker military powers.
Based on the performance of THAAD, AC-2,3 and Arrow Trump's Golden Dome concept is thus dead in the water.
Expect the missile technology developed by Iran to proliferate rapidly from this point on to the Global South.

Been posting here for 12 hours at this juncture……
Some of the highlights from the previous 1000+++ thread were:
Armchair Warload.
Extract:
My theory for the evening? I think this was a low-risk, low-impact attack entirely conducted using submarine-launched cruise missiles, and the DoD is simply lying about heavy bomber involvement for propaganda purposes. TLAMs are accurate enough to damage bunker entrances and cause the same kind of disruptive damage that a MOP strike could realistically achieve on a site as incredibly hardened as Fordow.
Damage to subterranean facilities at other sites, beyond bunker entrances, is unlikely - TLAMs are not "bunker buster" munitions.
There may be a number of aboveground buildings damaged or destroyed, although given a lack of fires observed that also seems somewhat unlikely at this point.
Hers the tweet.

I have thought this all along. Either NONE of us have nukes , or failing that ALL of us have them. What is good for the goose is good for the gander.
We are supposedly too scared to touch Israel or NK in a big way because they have nuclear weapons. Aoo ahh. Well fine, we all have them then , and at least that way we will all have our own manufacturing (of weapons and an associated decent economy too). Any war will have to be short ,decisive , conventional, and relatively “humane” , or all the rest of the world will gang up on the victor and demolish them conventionally.

This is my conclusion as well. The US strike does not appear to have materially impacted Iran in any way, shape or form. They're still launching missiles at Israel, unabated. Hell, nobody appears to have even died as a result of the US strike, and Iran still has its pile of enriched uranium and the ability to make more.

" Following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, the Iranian Atomic Energy Agency has issued the following announcements:
Iran will significantly increase enriched uranium production by activating a new enrichment facility at a secure and previously prepared location;
The first-generation IR-1 centrifuges at the underground Fordow facility will be replaced with advanced IR-6 centrifuges;
Iran will substantially reduce its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency and may expel IAEA inspectors"

Strategy to focus on Israel makes sense, but Trump will hardly let it without new escalation. He said:
"Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace."
Then he drew the line in the sand: “If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier.”
When I was young and fresh out of school, I thought Nazis were simply bad guys. Later I learned it was a complex set up by and for Zionists to send theirs to Palestine and form Israel, by killing few hundred of thousands of assimilated Jews.
They always have a lie, 6 million, WMD, Hamas, Iran, nuclear threat, ISIS (which they formed) etc.
And Jesus also was not acceptable so they killed him.
Makes sense more now with 22.06., honoring Hitler. Not Jew enemy but key figure to prepare Israel.

From the #7 “nothing happens”[!] thread..
Thomas Keith….
6 MOPs reportedly dropped on Fordow. The GBU-57A/B relies on mass, not firepower, 30,000 lbs of tungsten, delayed fuses, inertial guidance, and geological stress sequencing.
But Fordow was built for this.
Its design assumes MOP logic: curved tunnels, offset caverns, anti-penetration strata, layered redundancy across ventilation, C2, and IR-6 centrifuge chambers.
A single hit collapses nothing. 2 breach a tunnel mouth.
To truly destroy the core, you’d need tight sequencing, vector convergence, telemetry confirmation, and real-time damage layering.
That didn’t happen, at best, they sealed an entrance.
Iran reports no core disruption, no enrichment halt, and no internal collapse.To drop 6 MOPs means either 3 B-2s in simultaneous action or 2 conducting multiple flyovers, deep in contested airspace, without strike escort, in one of the most monitored radar corridors on earth.
If Fordow was gone, you’d see craters, electromagnetic rupture, emergency airlifts, seismographs lighting up, and IR flares beneath the mountain.
Instead, we got a tweet from an account run out of Northern Israel, yelling “Fordow is gone,” while hawking Gaza’s Most Wanted trading cards.Tomahawks on Natanz and Esfahan add nothing. Cruise missiles are subsonic, non-penetrative, and designed for surface-level disruption.
You don’t decapitate nuclear infrastructure with Block IVs. You flick switches. You scorch perimeters. You stage headlines.
A thousand-pound warhead doesn’t cut into fuel halls or disrupt cascade chambers beneath 20 meters of hardened casing.
This was a signal to domestic media cycles and Tel Aviv psyops operators.As of now, there is no SAR confirmation.
No crater clustering.
No multispectral flash analysis.
No underground fire signature.
No BDA loop.
If Fordow still spins tomorrow, Washington just pulled off the most expensive influence op in bunker-busting history, only to watch Tehran climb the escalation ladder unscathed.

▪️WARNING: this is only one part of an even wider war still coming - keep in mind - this is about setting the stage for wider war with Russia and China every US admin from Bush, Obama, Trump, Biden and now. Trump again has set the
On a personal note -
I have spent years trying to warn and educate people about the nature of US foreign policy, the continuity of agenda that takes place regardless of who Americans vote for - and I spent the last 6 months+ warning people that Trump was no exception and that THIS EXACT WAR WAS COMING!!!I have been attacked and condemned for 6 months+ - told by many including long-time supporters and even friends I had "lost my mind," that "Trump's different," that "policy papers don't mean anything," that "Trump wants a multipolar world!" and the best one of all, "that Brookings paper is from 2009, things have changed!"
And yet the Trump administration went down the final options of the Brookings Institution's "Which Path to Perisa?" paper verbatim - using fake negotiations and an Israeli attack to provoke the war before the US joined.
It's not even that this paper exists and I based all analysis no it - it's the fact that the US policy establishment today continued preparing and implementing those very policies, month-after-month, year-after-year ever since it was published.
Those who couldn't see this coming CAN'T SEE.
And those still making excuses for Trump after the US-backed Israeli strikes are now complicit in failing to warn the public of this inevitable development.
I see people now even as US bombs drop on Iran, making excuses rather than admitting they have no idea what they're talking about or what is happening - and in turn - perpetuating ignorance among their audiences.We will continue to indulge in ignorance and delusion (and in some cases, deliberate deceit) rather than face the truth at our own peril.
It's hard to say whether there is anything we can do to stop this - but one thing is for sure - if we can't even open our eyes and face the truth, we can do nothing else

Precicely this! This is one of the reasons (among many others) why I cannot take Trump supporters seriously. He was beholden to the zionists from day one and was never going to go against them in any possible way, and was never a man of peace. Some say last night's attack was only for a show, but what about the murder of Soleimani? What about the weapons deliveries to the Ukies? What about the regime change operations in Bolivia and Venezuela? What about the massive increase of the military buidget and the creation of the space force?
The head of an empire will continue to be in service of empirical interests, and Trump is no different in this regard.

Israel’s social fabric is splintering under the weight of its own fear.
On live television, a veteran reporter was removed mid-sentence for “looking too Arab,” and the cameras never blinked at the message.
Every missile siren now triggers a biometric loyalty check: stray smartphone footage invites paramilitary suspicion, dual-national viewers vanish from comment threads, and any unfamiliar face risks being branded a fifth column. The war has hollowed Israeli confidence, leaving behind a brittle unity that fractures at the smallest provocation.

Iranian state media reports 'limited damage'
Inside Iran, there has been confirmation of the strikes, and some reports of explosions from the Fordow and Isfahan areas.
One contact inside Iran told the ABC the ground was shaking as if an earthquake had struck.
Iranian state media quoted Behrouz Kamalvandi, spokesman for the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), saying the Fordow site experienced limited damage in certain areas.
He said critical equipment and materials had been relocated beforehand, minimising the impact.
Iranian state news agency, Mehr, has reported that the Fordow and Natanz facilities had sustained "limited damage".
The updates from inside Iran could not be independently verified.
No matter what preparations were made it matters whether or not Fordow goes down as deep as IAEA claims.
