Shame on the Iranian counterattack – too weak, too little, too gay, like all those who believe they can defeat the West.

The confident assurance of a utter dipshit. Take a bow, you fucking moron.

Iran said they shot down 2 F35 and published photo of one. And captured a female pilot.

Yes, it is possible that known nuclear posturing by the zionists is a bluff; but their reaction doesn’t prove that they don’t have them.

The proof of possession of nukes is to conduct surface tests.
Rumors are not sufficient for that kind of claim.
All nuclear powers have demonstrated their capacities with surface tests.
In fact it is totally beneficial to states having nuclear weapons to show them.
Israel would not be suffering missile attacks from Iran if it had nukes.
Simple fact.
The rumors about Israel non-existent nukes are of five types:
(1) Israeli ‘whistleblowers’
(2) American ‘intelligence’ assessments
(3) American and Israeli politicians
(4) Just two American and European scientists organizations, and
(5) ‘Leaks’ from former apartheid state South Africa, a close partner to Israel.
All of those sources are compromised of course.
They are willing to spread all the necessary chutzpah (and then some more) to make Israel look stronger.
On the other hand, all those beleiving Israel has nukes are either
(1) cunning Zionists trying to make Israel appear stronger than it is,
(2) ideological simpletons easily falling for rumors, or
(3) regular people that have not examined the evidence with an objective and critical mind

Operation True Promise 3: Iran’s ballistic missiles strike Tel Aviv
Al Mayadeen | June 13, 2025
Iran has launched three missile salvos targeting “Israel” in retaliation for its aggression on numerous Iranian regions and sensitive military and nuclear sites, with estimates of more than 200 missiles being launched.
Israeli media reported that close to 150 missiles were fired from Esfahan, Iran, toward “Israel”. It was later reported that a fire broke out in Tel Aviv near the Israeli Security Ministry after a missile achieved a direct hit, as the IRGC announced that the retaliatory strikes were conducted under Operation True Promise III. At the same time, Israeli media reported that “massive explosions” were heard above a sensitive location in “Israel”, and that several Israeli troops were wounded in the Nevatim military air base in the al-Naqab desert.
Al Mayadeen’s sources reported that the missiles were fired from multiple bases across several cities and provinces, including Fars in the country’s southeast.
Israeli Channel 12 reported that 200 to 300 missiles were launched in the Iranian attack, with impacts recorded in roughly nine locations across “Israel”. Israeli media lamented that the entirety of “Israel” was under attack.
Two Israeli F-35s downed
The Iranian missiles triggered sirens and air raid warnings across the occupied territories, with reports of missiles achieving direct hits on Haifa. Meanwhile, Israeli media reported several impacts in central occupied Palestine.
The Israeli Military Censor issued a directive not to take pictures and videos of the impact sites across the entity, while Israeli media described the situation as “unusual”.
Israeli reports also highlighted that numerous areas in the occupied territories faced a power blackout as a direct result of the Iranian missiles.
The spokesperson for the IOF doubled down on the media blackout imposed by “Israel”, calling on media channels to stop broadcasting footage of missile impact sites, while Israeli Channel 14 cited a security official as saying Iran was using this footage to assess the accuracy of its missiles.
Following the start of the operation, the IRGC released a statement saying, “Under the directives of the Revolution’s leader, a crushing and highly accurate response was carried out, striking dozens of military sites, strategic centers, and airbases in retaliation.”
Simultaneously, the Iranian Army announced that air defense forces successfully shot down two Israeli F-35 fighter jets, noting, however, that the fate of the jets’ two pilots remains unknown.
IRGC confirms attack on ‘Israel’
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced that its missile strikes targeted key Israeli military installations in response to the recent Israeli aggression on Iranian territory, emphasizing that the attacks were precise and effective.
In a series of statements released by its Public Relations Department, the IRGC confirmed that it had struck Israeli military centers and air bases directly involved in attacks on Iran. Additionally, the IRGC stated that missile production facilities used by the Israeli army were among the designated targets.
“Testimonies and satellite imagery show that dozens of missiles hit their targets accurately,” the IRGC said, adding that “the enemy failed to withstand the waves of missile attacks launched by the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
Reaffirming Iran’s defensive posture, the IRGC stressed, “The security of the Islamic Republic of Iran is the red line for the armed forces,” the statement read, signaling Iran’s readiness to respond to any future threats with equal or greater force.

And somehow Iran still managed to hit more useful targets in one night than Russia in all years of smo simulation in Ukr.

Iran is probably 100% focussed on surviving, their only hope is to still be standing when the dust settles, even if physically bruised & battered.
Iran needs to be measured, calibrated in its responses, and hopefully with a stronger internal security network. They lost much of their air-defence, but not as much as exaggerated claims suggested, due to internal sabotage with drones (similar to the drone attacks on Russia’s airfields) & electronic warfare .. to clear paths for the airstrikes.
Significant intelligence failure. Again.
Considering Iran, while strong, is no Russia, I figured that sort of blow must have left them mostly defenceless in the first salvo.
So, I was very, very surprised by how quickly Iran recovered, repaired, replaced, relocated, found & plugged holes in AD coverage etc, tracked like packs of sniffer dogs, even found a couple of saboteur squads with batches of the drones & EW equipment in pickup trucks. Maybe just the random tip of several icebergs, but who knows?
I also heard Israel targeted Qom? Does anyone know why? Correct me if I’m way wrong, but isn’t Qom just an old religious city? Full of dusty scholar clerics, with some tourists, pilgrims, visiting archaeologists etc
Plus it may be just copium for public consumption, but even the loss of commanders & nuclear scientists was not that great a loss. One of the commanders had been ill with cancer for some time, but it had been kept quiet, so he died early as a martyr instead. Another one, from Iranian social media gossip, was generally despised and should have retired years ago. One of the scientists was interviewed on Iranian TV recently, semi-retired, lauding the virtues of the younger generation he trained.
But gossip aside, Iran and it’s political, civil, leaderships etc or the “regime”, needs to survive intact, “go the distance”, even if bruised & shaken – do whatever it takes to prevent the internal State structures from dissolving in regime change op, and/or overrun with headchoppers.. while hitting Israel hard enough to hurt it’s military assets. Already “Done a Houthi” trick with their Air Defence taking out a pair of F-35s (the vid is impressive of the AD missiles taking them out)
I suspect that allies are supporting behind the scenes, but Iran is probably messaging “we’re good for the moment, will let you know if we need more. Maybe smuggle some key people out to safety?
One rumour is that Pakistani pilots are volunteering their services, still “high” from the success of their Chinese jets dogfighting with India ? LOL Eager to have a crack at F-35s?? Haha
Iran must survive, or we are all screwed. If it falls, it exposes both Russia & China for the Empires endgame. for that reason I can’t see those 2 countries letting Iran fall if they can help prevent it.

@Johan Kaspar | Jun 14 2025 7:25 utc | 711
Russia may have issued threats about retaliation if Israel or the US uses nukes against Iran.
So Johan’s logic may not be such a strong proof.
If Johan is right about Israel not possessing nukes
it seems to make the theory of Israel being behind the assassination of JFK less plausible. While the rumours about it might still make some sense for Israel to uphold for reasons similar to those Johan lists. But Vanunus long prison sentence would seem more difficult to understand in my view if Israel didnt possess nukes.
Would that all be theatre? Was Vanunu not actually in prison most of the time?
