The US had fully briefed Israel before launching a precise, coordinated airstrike on Iran’s nuclear facilities

US military bases are now on maximum alert amid heightened tensions.

Iranian monitoring reported warplanes over central Iran just before the strike, confirming escalation.

President Donald Trump:
“We have completed our very successful attack. All planes safely exited Iranian airspace after dropping a full payload of BOMBS on Fordow — the primary nuclear site. No other military in the world could have executed this mission. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!”

Doomsday Plane” Deployed

The U.S. Air Force has activated the Nightwatch aircraft, officially known as the National Airborne Operations Center (NAOC). Commonly referred to as the “Doomsday Plane,” it is used in extreme national emergencies, including nuclear war or full-scale military crisis.

The last time this plane is believed to have carried the President was on September 11, 2001.

Its deployment today suggests one of two scenarios, neither reassuring:

The United States is preparing for war with Iran.
The President’s security is under heightened threat, and he may soon be relocated to NAOC to maintain command continuity.

Earlier reports noted an unusual flight path taken by Air Force One from Shreveport to Joint Base Andrews — erratic and inconsistent with normal routes.

Separately, Israeli jets conducted strikes against several Iranian ballistic missile launchers. While Iran’s missile force took moderate damage, its key medium-range launcher systems appear to be the most affected.

This is a developing situation.

A major U.S. military airlift is underway.

An unusually large number of KC-135 and KC-46 aerial refueling tankers have launched from multiple U.S. airbases and appear to be heading across the Atlantic toward Europe. These aircraft don’t carry weapons themselves—they refuel fighter jets, bombers, and transports in mid-air, enabling long-range operations.

The sheer scale of this deployment is unprecedented, strongly suggesting the U.S. military is either preparing for or already supporting a large-scale operation in or near Europe. This kind of movement usually signals something serious is developing behind the scenes.

Iran’s Operation “True Promise 3”

Iran claims it launched a precision missile strike on Israeli command centers using advanced military technology. Here’s what they likely used:

Precision-Guided Missiles — likely Fateh-110, Zolfaghar, or Kheibar-Shekan models. These missiles use GPS and terminal guidance systems for high-accuracy targeting of critical infrastructure.
Real-Time Intelligence — targeting supported by satellite reconnaissance (such as Noor-3), signals intercepts, and surveillance drones like Shahed or Mohajer-6, enabling precise strikes on command and control nodes.
Defense Evasion Technology — missiles reportedly use stealth features or maneuverable reentry vehicles to evade layered Israeli missile defenses including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Patriot systems.
Electronic Warfare Capabilities — claims include disruption of Israeli missile defense systems so severe that some Patriot batteries misfired on each other, suggesting the use of jamming, decoys, or radar saturation techniques.
Saturation Tactics — multiple missile waves launched simultaneously to overwhelm defense interceptors, forcing Israel’s missile defense to exhaust resources or miscalculate responses.
Symbolic and Psychological Warfare — the operation is framed as fulfilling promises by martyred IRGC leaders, blending advanced military technology with ideological messaging to boost domestic morale and intimidate adversaries.

Iran is signaling that this is not just a missile attack but a demonstration of growing technological sophistication and strategic escalation, aiming to show Israeli defenses can be penetrated and that further operations will follow.

Iran Admits Downing Its Own Jet Amid Rising Tensions with Israel and the United States

Date: June 14, 2025

In a startling admission, Iranian authorities have confirmed that the wreckage of a jet shot down earlier today belongs to their own air force, not to Israel or another foreign actor. The announcement came after hours of speculation following the release of crash footage near a military zone in central Iran.

The Iranian air defense network reportedly mistook the aircraft for a hostile intrusion during a period of heightened alert, as regional tensions have spiked after a series of ballistic missile exchanges between Iran and Israel.

Footage from the crash site shows a smoldering fuselage with military markings, prompting local and international media to initially assume it was an Israeli or American aircraft. However, Iranian military officials have now clarified that the aircraft was an Iranian fighter jet conducting a patrol mission.

This incident comes amid rapidly deteriorating security conditions across the Middle East. According to Iran’s state media and semi-official outlets, Tehran is now actively preparing for direct military retaliation against U.S. military bases in the region, accusing Washington of playing a pivotal role in enabling Israel’s recent long-range airstrikes on Iranian territory.

A report published by the Jerusalem Post, citing anonymous U.S. defense officials, claims that 300 Hellfire missiles were covertly transferred from the United States to Israel just before the latest escalation. If accurate, this would confirm long-standing suspicions of direct American involvement in the military campaign against Iran.

In a televised segment aired on Iranian networks, a high-ranking Revolutionary Guard commander warned:

“The Israeli attacks will not go unanswered, and the bases that support them—no matter where they are—will feel the weight of our response.”

Meanwhile, fallout from this unfolding crisis continues to ripple across the region. Iraqi Shia militant factions and Hezbollah have reportedly resumed drone and rocket operations against Israel for the first time in months. Multiple barrages have triggered emergency alerts across northern and central Israel, with damage reported in Tel Aviv, Rishon LeZion, and Haifa. Hospitals are on mass casualty protocols, and dozens of injuries have been confirmed.

As both regional and global powers brace for the possibility of further escalation, analysts warn that what was once a shadow war has now evolved into a direct military confrontation, with all the ingredients of a larger, destabilizing conflict.

Summary of Key Developments:

Iran confirms it accidentally downed its own fighter jet during an active defense alert.
Iranian officials threaten direct strikes on U.S. military facilities across the Middle East.
Covert arms transfers from the U.S. to Israel may have fueled current hostilities.
Allied militias in Iraq and Lebanon have entered the conflict, firing drones and rockets at Israel.
Casualties and infrastructure damage are mounting in multiple Israeli cities.

The situation remains fluid, with global attention fixed on what could become a historic turning point in Middle Eastern geopolitics.

Iranian Intelligence Foils Alleged Mossad Drone Operation Inside Iran

Tehran – June 14, 2025
Iranian intelligence officials have released photographic evidence showing what they claim are vehicles used by an Israeli Mossad unit attempting to execute a drone-based operation inside Iran. According to reports from state media and senior security sources, the trucks were intercepted in a coordinated counterintelligence sweep before any UAVs could be launched.

The alleged operation reportedly involved a fleet of modified transport vehicles carrying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), communications equipment, and logistical support gear. Authorities stated that the interception was made possible due to “prior intelligence, public vigilance, and real-time tracking.”

The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence did not reveal the precise location of the interception but confirmed that multiple individuals are being questioned. Investigators are analyzing the seized equipment, and preliminary findings suggest the operation was designed to target sensitive defense infrastructure or disrupt internal security.

Officials emphasized the seriousness of the threat and called on citizens to remain alert in the coming days. “Every Iranian must be a soldier in this hybrid war,” one statement read. “We urge the public to report any suspicious vehicles, drones, or unusual activity to local authorities immediately.”

This incident comes amid rapidly escalating tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv, with both nations now openly acknowledging direct conflict following weeks of aerial strikes, cyber incursions, and proxy attacks across the region.

As the situation develops, analysts are warning that the window for diplomatic resolution is narrowing. For now, Iran is presenting the foiled drone operation as a symbol of its intelligence prowess — and a warning to any nation contemplating covert action on its soil.

Northern Israel Rocked by Sustained Iranian Missile Barrage

Multiple cities across northern Israel came under intense Iranian missile fire late Saturday night, marking one of the most severe escalations since the start of the conflict. Cities including Haifa, Tiberias, and the broader Galilee region experienced direct impacts from ballistic missiles launched by Iran.

Eyewitness reports from Haifa confirm violent explosions and visible fireballs across residential and industrial zones. Emergency sirens have been sounding non-stop in the Galilee, with civil defense urging residents to take immediate shelter. In Tiberias, at least two missiles reportedly made direct hits on infrastructure near the city center, causing structural damage and widespread panic.

Direct Iranian Missile Strikes Hit Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem in Escalating Attack

In an unprecedented escalation, Iran has launched a powerful wave of ballistic missiles targeting multiple major Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, Haifa, and Jerusalem.

Initial reports confirm the following:

A 50-story skyscraper, approximately 152 meters tall, has suffered a direct strike in Tel Aviv.
Eyewitnesses in the West Bank filmed the moment Iranian missiles entered Israeli airspace.
Between 7 and 10 missiles are confirmed to have impacted the Tel Aviv area alone.
Simultaneous impacts have also been reported in northern Haifa and central Jerusalem, with growing concerns of casualties and severe infrastructure damage.
Red alert sirens blared across central Israel moments before impact. Missile interceptors were launched from Tel Aviv, but failed to neutralize the entire barrage.

This is the most severe direct missile attack from Iran to date. Israeli defense forces are currently assessing the full scope of the damage and casualties, while emergency services rush to affected zones.

The situation is rapidly evolving. This strike follows a series of Israeli airstrikes earlier today on Tehran’s military headquarters, prompting fears of full-scale regional war.

Iranian Ballistic Missiles Score Direct Hits Amid Unprecedented Salvo

Tel Aviv, Israel — A massive wave of Iranian ballistic missiles has struck Israel, with confirmed direct impacts in Tel Aviv, marking the most intense escalation in the ongoing regional conflict to date.

Multiple red alert sirens began sounding across central Israel just minutes before impact. Interceptor systems were deployed from Tel Aviv and nearby locations, but several missiles reportedly bypassed defenses and caused significant structural damage. Emergency services are responding to multiple blast sites across the city.

This latest round of attacks follows a prior salvo that targeted Jerusalem and the Gaza Envelope. Military analysts confirm that this is the largest and most destructive missile barrage launched by Iran against Israel since the conflict began.

State-linked sources in Israel have acknowledged sustained pressure on the Iron Dome and other defensive layers, suggesting that Iran’s evolving targeting strategies and timing are overwhelming existing air response systems.

The Israeli government has yet to issue a formal casualty count, but early reports suggest a growing number of civilian injuries and possible fatalities. Hospitals across Tel Aviv have moved to high-alert status.

This escalation comes just hours after Israeli airstrikes targeted military installations in Tehran, including the General Headquarters of Iran’s Armed Forces. In response, Iranian military officials had vowed “daily retaliation” against Israeli targets—a promise now being fulfilled with unprecedented intensity.

Further attacks are anticipated. International observers warn that the conflict is veering into a full-scale regional war involving multiple fronts and proxy actors.

Iran Launches Ballistic Missiles Toward Central Israel After Israeli Strikes Hit Tehran

Iran has launched a fresh wave of ballistic missiles toward Israel, with multiple projectiles confirmed to have passed through Iraqi airspace. The barrage is reportedly aimed at central Israel, including the Tel Aviv area, in what analysts suggest may mark the beginning of a sustained campaign of retaliation.

This escalation follows Israeli airstrikes earlier today targeting multiple sites in Tehran, including the General Headquarters of Iran’s Armed Forces. The Iranian response appears to be swift and strategic, echoing the near-daily attack pattern used by Ansarullah forces in Yemen.

Military analysts are warning that the next few days could see a continuation of these exchanges, significantly increasing the risk of a broader regional conflict. Missiles flying over third-party nations such as Iraq also raise concerns about sovereignty violations and regional destabilization.

The UN Security Council convened an emergency session after Israel’s strike on Iranian soil. Here’s what happened.

Iran’s ambassador accused Israel of launching premeditated, coordinated military attacks across multiple cities — targeting nuclear sites, military infrastructure, and residential areas.

Iran claims 78 killed, 320+ injured. Many were civilians. The Natanz nuclear facility, monitored by the IAEA, was among the targets.

Iran labeled the strikes as “state terrorism” and a “grave violation of international law,” warning of serious regional consequences, including potential radiological fallout.

Iran directly blamed the United States for enabling the strikes, stating that Israeli jets used American weapons. They called it an act of war.

Tehran vowed a “firm, lawful, and proportionate” response — “at a time and place of our choosing.”

Israel’s envoy responded by announcing “Operation Rising Lion” — claiming the operation neutralized senior IRGC leaders, destroyed ballistic missile sites, and struck the heart of Iran’s enrichment efforts at Natanz.

Israel argued it acted to prevent a nuclear holocaust, citing intelligence that Iran was days away from producing weapons-grade material.

Israeli officials also said Iran’s regime had orchestrated a multi-front war plan involving Hezbollah, the Houthis, and Hamas.

Both sides now assert they acted in defense. But the escalation risks engulfing the region — and possibly beyond.

Drone Alarms in Southern Israel as Militants in Iraq Suspected; No Evidence of Israeli F-35s Downed

Southern Israel remains on high alert as drone infiltration alarms continue to trigger along the Negev region near the Jordanian border. Simultaneously, red alert sirens have been activated across multiple locations, pointing to an ongoing aerial threat.

Preliminary intelligence assessments suggest the drones may have been launched by pro-Iranian Shia militants operating from Iraq. The Israeli military has not released full details but is said to be closely monitoring the situation across both the Jordanian and Iraqi airspace corridors.

Earlier rumors that Israeli F-35 fighter jets had been shot down circulated on social media. However, Axios has since denied those claims, and no official confirmation has been issued by the Israel Defense Forces. There is currently no verified evidence supporting the reports of downed aircraft.

With multiple fronts in motion and misinformation spreading quickly, authorities are urging the public to rely on verified sources for real-time updates.

Iranian Air Defenses Engage Israeli Strikes as Tehran and Isfahan Come Under Fire

Tehran/Isfahan, Iran — Iranian air defense systems are actively engaging waves of incoming Israeli projectiles as both Tehran and Isfahan come under sustained attack. Eyewitness footage from Baharestan, just south of Isfahan, shows intense anti-aircraft fire lighting up the sky amid audible detonations.

In Tehran, anti-aircraft batteries have been activated in multiple districts as explosions continue to echo across the capital. State-linked sources confirm that air defenses are tracking multiple targets, believed to be part of Israel’s expanding air campaign.

Despite warnings from Iranian authorities to remain indoors, large crowds have gathered in the streets of Tehran, waving Iranian flags and chanting national slogans such as “God is the Greatest” and “Death to Israel.”

Elsewhere in the region, Israeli defense forces confirmed the interception of a drone launched from Yemen, likely by the Ansarullah (Houthi) movement, before it could reach Israeli airspace. Meanwhile, red alert sirens were activated in Eilat, southern Israel, indicating ongoing threats across multiple fronts.

Analysts note a shift in Iran’s defensive posture. While Israeli strikes last night were enabled by a reported Mossad pre-operation that disrupted key air defense systems, today’s attacks are being met with coordinated and visible resistance from Iran’s recovered air defense network.

The conflict continues to escalate across regional theaters.

Explosions Reported in Tehran as Israeli Jets Approach; Iranians Take to the Streets in Defiance

Tehran, Iran — Air raid sirens rang out across the Iranian capital late Thursday night as Israeli fighter jets reportedly approached, signaling the potential for a major new wave of airstrikes. However, despite the warnings, large crowds of Iranian civilians flooded the streets of Tehran in a public show of support for their government, openly defying civil defense protocols.

Shortly after the sirens sounded, multiple explosions were reported throughout Tehran, with local sources describing loud detonations and flashes lighting up the skyline. Initial reports suggest these may be the opening salvos of a new Israeli strike package targeting Iranian military infrastructure.

In parallel, Israeli Air Force units have reportedly entered southern Syrian airspace, specifically over the al-Qunaitra region. Military analysts believe these jets could be positioned to launch supporting or diversionary strikes in tandem with operations over Iran.

Israeli defense sources have warned that this upcoming wave of strikes may be “very, very violent,” with expectations of deeper penetration and higher-value targets compared to previous rounds.

The Iranian public’s decision to ignore shelter protocols and gather en masse is being interpreted as a signal of national unity—or state-backed defiance—amid one of the most dangerous nights of the ongoing regional conflict.

Further updates will follow as the situation evolves.

Explosions Reported in Tehran as Iran Activates Air Defenses

Explosions have been reported in Tehran, the capital of Iran, amid escalating military activity between Israel and Iran. Multiple eyewitnesses and local sources confirm the sound of blasts across the city as Iran’s air defense systems activate in response to suspected incoming threats.

The IRGC claims that dozens of ballistic missiles have successfully hit strategic sites, rejecting Israeli claims of widespread interceptions.

Meanwhile, air raid sirens have been activated in Amman, the capital of Jordan, as regional spillover risks continue to grow.

Elsewhere, Iran’s police forces report that five drones were intercepted and destroyed in the country’s northwest, underscoring growing aerial threats and the increasingly complex multi-front nature of the conflict.

In a separate statement, Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected international calls for de-escalation, stating, “Calls for restraint are unjustified.”

Iran Launches 800 Projectiles Toward Israel

Iran has reportedly launched a massive salvo of approximately 800 projectiles toward Israeli territory, in what appears to be its largest airborne assault to date. The barrage includes a combination of cruise missiles, ballistic missiles, and armed drones, according to initial data shafaq.com+1x.com+1.

This unprecedented wave—dubbed by Iranian sources as “True Promise 3”—came in swift retaliation to Israel’s recent “Operation Rising Lion,” which targeted Iranian nuclear and military infrastructure. While Israeli officials have acknowledged intercepting a portion of the incoming threat, the extraordinary scale of the launch marks a dramatic escalation in regional hostilities shafaq.com.

As of now, interceptions are underway across multiple fronts, including Israeli, Jordanian, and allied air defenses. Authorities are issuing urgent alerts, with Iran’s offensive described as a calculated surge designed to overwhelm defensive layers—testing both technology and readiness across the region.

Mossad Operatives Inside Iran Sabotaged Air Defenses Ahead of Israeli Strikes

In a major intelligence and military revelation, Mossad units reportedly operated deep within Iranian territory ahead of Israel’s recent wave of airstrikes. According to sources familiar with the operation, Israeli intelligence teams covertly deployed specialized electronic systems in open areas near Iranian surface-to-air missile (SAM) sites. These systems, built inside Iran itself, were used to jam or disable key components of Iran’s air defense network—clearing a path for Israeli fighter jets to launch precision air-to-surface missile strikes.

Mossad operatives allegedly moved through strategic areas in disguised vehicles, carefully positioning the systems before the strike. In addition, explosive drones pre-positioned in Iran months prior by Mossad agents were remotely activated during the assault. These drones targeted and struck surface-to-surface missile (SGM) launchers at the Asfaqabad base near Tehran—a critical site capable of threatening strategic assets in Israel.

This covert operation reflects a deep level of infiltration and coordination, combining espionage, cyberwarfare, and air power in one of Israel’s most daring actions against Iranian military capabilities to date.

Israel Hits Iranian Air Defenses in Massive Airstrike Over Western Iran

Israeli fighter jets carried out a major strike in western Iran, targeting the country’s air defense systems in one of the most extensive operations since the war began. The IDF confirmed that dozens of radar installations and surface-to-air missile launchers were destroyed in the attack, which was guided by detailed intelligence.

Officials say the goal was to weaken Iran’s ability to track and respond to aerial operations, giving the Israeli Air Force more freedom to operate in the region. This latest move is part of a broader strategy to dismantle Iran’s military infrastructure, not just inside its borders but also among its regional allies. The strike underscores Israel’s determination to blunt Iran’s reach as tensions continue to rise.

Iran’s Nuclear Sites at Isfahan, Fordow, and Bushehr Unharmed in Israeli Strikes

Despite a wave of Israeli airstrikes across Iran, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) confirmed that the nuclear facilities in Isfahan, Fordow, and Bushehr were not affected. Communication with Iranian authorities indicated that these critical sites remain fully operational.

However, the Natanz enrichment site was struck during the attacks. Initial assessments show no rise in radiation levels, and the IAEA continues to monitor the situation closely amid heightened regional tensions.

Israel & Jordan Intercept Iranian Drones Across Multiple Fronts

Israel and Jordan have confirmed they are actively intercepting drones launched from Iran toward Israeli territory. The unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were tracked and neutralized over multiple regions, including Syrian and Saudi airspace.

Jordan’s state news agency reported that several drones breached its airspace early this morning and were successfully intercepted by its air defense units. The coordinated defensive response underscores the widening regional scope of the conflict and rising concerns over Iranian drone activity across the Middle East.

Fighter Jets Engaged: Israel Begins Intercepting Iranian Drones

Israeli Air Force fighter jets are actively engaging and taking down drones launched from Iran earlier this morning. According to a senior military official, many of the interceptions are taking place outside Israeli airspace, indicating a forward-operating strategy to neutralize threats before they reach the homeland.

Despite these early efforts, some drones that escape initial interception are projected to reach Israeli territory within the next hour. The IDF remains on high alert as the air defense network coordinates with regional allies to contain the threat.
