  2. it is actually true. You mean like Gen. Qani? The only Sr Officer wounded was the Air Force General, the rest are fine. Zionist propaganda on full swing. As for the damage to Iran's nuclear programme, even CNN could not go along with the lies. Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say. The assessment, which has not been previously reported, was produced by the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon’s intelligence arm. It is based on a battle damage assessment conducted by US Central Command in the aftermath of the US strikes, one of the sources said. Two of the people familiar with the assessment said Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium was not destroyed. One of the people said the centrifuges are largely “intact.” Exclusive: Early US intel assessment suggests strikes on Iran did not destroy nuclear sites, sources say | CNN Politics WWW.CNN.COM The US military strikes on three of Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend did not destroy the core components of the country’s nuclear...
  3. OVER 30,000 ISRAELIS HAVE FLED TO CYPRUS BY SEA DUE TO IRAN'S ATTACKS Following the closure of Israeli airspace and the suspension of operations at Ben Gurion International Airport, which was evacuated and emptied of passengers, travel options for civilians became severely limited. With no commercial flights available, those with means began chartering yachts and private vessels to reach Cyprus, a nearby island just about 170 kilometers from Israel’s coast. Israeli media outlets such as Haaretz and Channel 12 have documented hundreds of these sea departures, with some passengers paying thousands of dollars for passage. Prices for a seat on these yachts reportedly range from $800 to several thousand dollars, depending on the vessel and conditions.

  4. Israeli travelers stranded in Cyprus by fighting begin return trip by boat Cyprus’ chief Rabbi Arie Zeev Raskin told The Associated Press that approximately 6,500 Israelis were in Cyprus after being diverted to the east Mediterranean island, the closest European nation to Israel, or traveling there voluntarily in hopes of catching a flight or boat trip back to their country. Cyprus has become a key transit point for the repatriation of third-country nationals fleeing conflict areas in the region, as well as Israelis and others wishing to return home in the absence of direct flights there. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/cyprus-israeli-israelis-limassol-iran-b2773092.html
  5. Visibly, though, Iran’s bombardments sent Israelis scurrying for shelter, while many others fled the country outright. Such was the exodus, from a country that has already suffered mass depopulation since October 7, 2023—the Israeli government has since scrambled to implement legally questionable bans on its citizens leaving. By June 19, officials in Tel Aviv had dropped the braggadocio, and Western media were publishing explainer guides to explain why Israel’s much-vaunted Iron Dome air defense system had failed to repel Iranian strikes. Iran’s unmolested battering of Israel continued apace until June 22, when the U.S. officially entered the war. Iranian nuclear sites at Fordow, Isfahan, and Natanz were targeted, allegedly using heavy-duty B-2 bombers that dropped earth-shattering bunker busters. Trump boasted that Iran’s nuclear program was “obliterated,” and Tehran struck an unmanned U.S. base in Qatar in response. Iran and Israel then traded missile barrages, which inflicted significantly greater damage on the latter, for two more days, before begrudgingly agreeing to a ceasefire. So far, the ceasefire holds. In the meantime, U.S. claims of having damaged, let alone destroyed, Iran’s nuclear facilities have quickly unraveled, as have Israeli allegations that the June 13 strike was an urgent necessity conducted as Iran was on the imminent verge of acquiring nukes. As the dust settles, it is becoming increasingly clear that the so-called “12 Day War” was long in the making, and an unmitigated disaster for Tel Aviv and Washington, with wide-ranging ramifications for the region and beyond. https://www.mintpressnews.com/who-won-israel-iran-war/290070/
  6. Winner and losers after the dust has settled. Iran: - On its own, Iran has shown it is more capable than anticipated by the West, - Has not shown its full hand yet, - Has greater weapons than it had used in the conflict, - Can quietly fight for months without needing external support, Strength: - Iran has missile technology very few nations have, - Its drone technology is advanced, Weakness: - Iran is weakest in the air, and its air defences had been compromised, - Its human intel and covert operations are the weakest. !srael: !srael has been shown to be no more than a paper tiger no match for Iran in an actual war, - Can fight no more than a week without the US, and Western allies supplying it with weapons and intel, - Can fight in the air, and could barely defeat Hamas or Hizba Allah on the ground on its own, - Tel Abib & Ha'ifa had sustained considerable damages with some neighbourhoods looking more like Gaza, - Is hiding its human loss estimated above 300 +/- by independent sources, - Its covert operations, spying tactics, and human intel are superior, and managed to launch attacks from inside Iran. Winners: - China, Iran, Hamas. Losers: - !srael, with the veil lifted, its vulnerabilities had been exposed, and is no longer the super sub-station / military outpost the West intended it to be, - The Muslim world except Pakistan & UAE, the only nations to have openly supported Iran. Sheep all round where one nation is taken out at a time whilst the rest stand on the sidelines watching. - The ever so gullible US tax payer.
  7. U.S strikes against Iran. Iran targets Tel Abib & Ha'ifa with Khaiber missiles.
  8. U.S. staging to attack Iran using military bases in S Arabia & Jordan. Prince Sultan Air Base is a military air base located in the closed city of Al Kharj, Saudi Arabia. This is one of the base where the US would attack Iran from, along Muwaffaq Salti Air Base in Jordan. U.S. Air Force Air deployment at Prince Sultan Air Base (Mizarvision imagery from June 19th | 16h21) 22 x KC-135 Stratotankers 53 x likely F-16 10 x C-130 & more under shelter + more have arrived in the past 24 hours.
  9. Pierce Morgan puts it best: Iran teaches Isr@el a lesson in responding to an unprovoked attack, a mistake Isr@el is unlikely to attempt again.
  10. PUTIN: "We will continue building nuclear reactors in Iran and will not evacuate our staff." PUTIN: "We will continue building nuclear reactors in Iran and will not evacuate our staff." https://twitter.com/upholdreality/status/1936101703037673695 Vladimir Putin states unequivocally that he will not recall Russian scientists from Iran “We are continuing our relations Our (nuclear) specialists are working in Bushehr. 250 people, and more on assignment. The total number around 600. And we are not leaving Iran”
  11. Iran's supersonic missiles. No defence system could detect.
  12. The West invades Iran from its MidEast military outpost: Isr@el.
  13. Operation Hilaac has been concluded, and what is left is cleaning up this vast land to ensure safety, water sources accessible, and permanent army bases remain. The plan according to insiders: Operation Onkond in Cal Madow is under way. Deni expected n Badhan.
  14. Final cleaning operation of air-ground in Miiraale.
  15. There re a few resources of value. If you want to get the insight from outsiders' perspective, read the autobiographies of Erich Honecker, former Chancellor of East Germany, and Fidel Castro of Cuba, representing Warsaw, put in charge of ending the war. Both speak in great details of S Barre's frame of mind and follies. Here is an excerpt: https://digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/transcript-meeting-between-east-german-leader-erich-honecker-and-cuban-leader-fidel-castro From the US perspective, declassified papers at hte US Congress library details the beginning and ending of the war. From the Somali perspective, the BBC Somali Service has prepared a historical programme on the war, the like of Xaaji, Ducaale, Cawke and others participated in its narration. You could request it from the BBC. There are two very good interviews by Cali Samatar & A/llahi Yusuf discussing how the war evolved, early victories, and subsequent failures. Galaal also discussed it in interviews, but his take is marred in dishonesty and lack of clarity, besides he was a useful tool for S Barre, and not in the same class as other Sr military officials. Many of his claims had been refuted. Nor was he the sharpest tool in the shed. Find those works, and you will have a much clearer picture and better understanding of the war. Said interviews are on yt.
