Undecided,
Israel and the US planned to ravage Iran with 2 weeks of relentless attacks, after killing top military and nuclear science personnel, destroy Iran's nuclear facilities, and then accept Iranian capitulation and regime change.
Iran has re-organized the military command structure, is getting air defenses back in order, with help from Russia, China and Pakistan, and is hitting Israeli military airfields and hangers hard. Iran has used 30 year old missiles in mass attacks to deplete Israeli and US air defense missile stocks, and is now using far fewer missiles, while most get through to their targets. Iran has effectively unlimited offensive missile stores, and Iranian hypersonic missiles are accurate and unstoppable.
Israel needs the US to attack Iranian nuclear facilities, deep underground, with huge 30,000 poind bunker-buster bombs, or nuclear bunker-buster bombs, dropped from B2 Stealth bombers, directly over those targets, which puts the bombers at great risk, especially as Russia and China would love the chance to see if and how-best their missile systems can shoot them down.
Israel will need to get the US into this war, and the US President, under the War Powers Act, can respond in "self defense" without Congressional approval. Israel needs for America to have a "third Pearl Harbor". What will fill the bill? How about those 3 US aircraft carrier strike groups in the region? How about some US military base? I think an aircraft carrier would work better, and we have been hearing for years how vulnerable they are to missile attacks.
Will the "American" President put "America First"? It will be his choice who to betray, Americans or Netanyahu and the genocidal Zionists, won't it?

Blackout hits Israel after Iranian missile strikes
Iran overwhelmed Israeli defenses by breaching the data transmission and correction system early in flight, explains military expert and historian of the Air Defense Forces Yuri Knutov.
"Based on the footage that was released, it seems that the Iranians were able to breach the data transmission and correction signal system at the early stage when the missiles were flying, using an inertial guidance system. As a result, the system misdirected the missiles, not toward their intended target, but toward Israel’s own surface-to-air missile batteries, leading to a strike on them."
Iranian missiles overnight had inflicted localized damage to pipelines and transmission lines at its Haifa Bay complex.
According to company statements, refining operations are continuing, but several facilities on-site were temporarily shut down. The company is currently assessing the impact of the damage on overall operations and working to resume activity at affected units... One of the videos showed a massive fire breaking out at the Haifa oil refinery upon the impact of a barrage of Iranian missiles... This comes after Israeli forces reportedly struck the South Pars gas field in southern Iran earlier in the night, igniting fires at the site, according to Fars News Agency. https://vtforeignpolicy.com/2025/06/israel-iran-clash-heads-to-oil-warfare-due-to-refineries-attacks/

Israeli and US air defense missiles were hitting their own launch sites: How Iran Turned Israel’s Iron Dome Against Itself Using Clever Jamming
New evidence suggests that Iran successfully compromised Israel’s vaunted air defense systems during recent attacks — forcing Tel Aviv to fire on its own positions. How? Iran overwhelmed Israeli defenses by breaching the data transmission and correction system early in flight, explains military expert and historian of the Air Defense Forces Yuri Knutov.
"Based on the footage that was released, it seems that the Iranians were able to breach the data transmission and correction signal system at the early stage when the missiles were flying, using an inertial guidance system. As a result, the system misdirected the missiles, not toward their intended target, but toward Israel’s own surface-to-air missile batteries, leading to a strike on them."
The attack included: 100+ Shahed drones (swarming tactics)
Decoy ballistic missiles (old models to waste interceptors)
Fattah hypersonic missiles (unstoppable by Israeli Arrow/PAC-3)
As a result, the Iron Dome’s interception rate dropped drastically to just 10-15%. https://sputnikglobe.com/20250616/how-iran-turned-israels-iron-dome-against-itself-using-clever-jamming-1122265685.html

..Iran’s continued missile strikes on Israel are showing Tehran forces can regroup even after Israel killed multiple military commanders in its initial attack.
“They (the Israelis) underestimated the Iranian ability to regroup after the Israelis very successfully targeted the top leadership of the Iranian military and managed to kill several of them,” said Trita Parsi, vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.
Parsi said Israel believed they had “disrupted Iranian command and control” but that idea was proved wrong because Iran “quickly restructured.”
What we are seeing now is that “Iranian missiles are successful in penetrating all layers of Israel’s air defense systems,” Parsi said...

The Pakistanis promptly tripled their help to Iran. “They (the Israelis) underestimated the Iranian ability to regroup after the Israelis very successfully targeted the top leadership of the Iranian military and managed to kill several of them,” said Trita Parsi, vice president of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft.

The IDF kill ratio is GOING DOWN FAST. If the Iranians keep this pace there will be NO USABLE AIRFIELDS in Israel next week. That is in Seven days!

Sanders Introduces No War Against Iran Act
..Putin is much too quick not to recognize that President Donald Trump is both a fraudster and an enemy. Putin doesn’t have to be told by the General Staff that Trump’s war plans are an existential threat to Russia’s security on the western front (Ukraine, Romania, Poland); northern front (Norway, Sweden, Finland), eastern front (Japan, South Korea); and southern front (Iran)...
WASHINGTON, June 16 – Following Israel’s military strikes against Iran, which threaten to further destabilize the Middle East and draw the United States into yet another military conflict, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) today introduced the No War Against Iran Act to prohibit the use of federal funds for any use of military force in or against Iran absent specific Congressional authorization. The bill contains an exception for self-defense as enshrined in the War Powers Act and applicable U.S. law. https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/news-sanders-introduces-no-war-against-iran-act/

There are no flies on President Vladimir Putin.

..Putin had been telling his arms chiefs “we know the enemy’s modus operandi. However, I do not think we are falling behind in any way.” The combination of drone and missile attack tactics of the enemy requires, he said, “the new state armament programme [to] ensure creation of a universal air defence system capable of operating under any conditions and effectively hitting air assault weapons regardless of their type.”...
..What then was the similar coordination by the US and Israel of long-range air assault operations with ground-level attacks targeted fatally on five, possibly eight Iranian generals and five Iranian nuclear scientists.?...
..The state media platform RIA Novosti editorialized on June 14 that the Israeli operations are a rehearsal for what the US and its allies are planning to do to Russia, and that this is well understood in Moscow. “Many respected analysts of different calibres believe that the purpose of the attack on Iran is to eliminate the country’s nuclear program (necessarily) and regime change (extremely desirable). In fact, the main goal of the operation is to work out a mass preventive disarming strike against the enemy with serious military capabilities – that enemy is called not Iran, but Russia.”
This strategic plan, writes Boris Rozhin, a leading military blogger reflecting the views of senior Russian military officers, is President Donald Trump’s first of all, and aimed at Russia next... “In summing up this story,” Rozhin wrote yesterday, — June 14, 14:31, “we can conclude – if there is anyone who has not yet understood – that the ‘Trump peace attempts’ are worthless and will lead to nothing – neither in the Middle East nor in Ukraine. Therefore, agreements with Trump are not worth it. It is necessary to strengthen the army and the military-industrial complex and achieve the goals of the SVO [Special Military Operation] by military means. In order not to say again, ‘we wanted peace, and the Americans deceived us again’, as the Iranians do now.” https://johnhelmer.net/how-to-say-in-russian-happy-birthday-donald-happy-us-army-and-flag-day/#more-91878
Israel's Strike On South Pars: Is Europe Facing A New Energy Crisis?
Haifa Refinery Shuts Down After Iranian Missile Strike
Iraq warns of $300 per barrel oil The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a key transport route, could “result in the loss of approximately five million barrels per day from Gulf and Iraqi oil supplies in the global market,” the Iraqi foreign minister was quoted as saying. https://swentr.site/news/619365-oil-prices-to-skyrocket/
Located on the Persian Gulf, South Pars is currently the world’s largest operational gas field and a central pillar of the Iranian regime’s economic stability. By targeting this facility, Israel has sent a clear signal that it aims to bring about regime change in Tehran—and is willing to risk retaliatory attacks on its own energy infrastructure to achieve that end. https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/israels-strike-south-pars-europe-facing-new-energy-crisis
Israel’s Bazan refinery group has shut down all operations after a direct Iranian missile strike on its Haifa Bay facility yesterday, causing major infrastructure damage. The announcement came hours before Iran launched the ninth wave of its “Operation True Promise 3,” a new round of missile and drone attacks now underway.
Bazan reported that a key power plant supplying electricity and steam to the complex was “significantly damaged,” forcing a full shutdown of the refinery and all subsidiaries.
Environmental officials say the strike confirms longstanding fears: “Two or three missiles, and the whole system collapsed. We warned of this scenario years ago.”
Iran says the strike was retaliation for Israeli attacks on civilian areas in Tehran. The Haifa refinery supplies around 65% of Israel’s refining capacity, making it one of the country’s most strategic energy sites. https://x.com/DropSiteNews/status/1934719812615458999

Lynch, who worked in Russia for a long time in the 2s, covered the obligations of the operator company Nord Stream AG 30 to creditors in early May. During negotiations with them, a settlement agreement was reached, which was approved by the court of the canton of Zug in Switzerland on April 2022.

Meryl Nass MD sent this: The Complete Architecture, How Scientific Socialism Captured Global Governance
A comprehensive analysis of the institutional, operational, and enforcement mechanisms that have transformed the Venice Declaration's vision into operational reality. Professional control operates through ‘ethics codes’ that transform institutional compliance into moral obligation. Healthcare workers were fired during COVID-19 not for illegal activity, but for ‘ethics violations’ — questioning vaccine mandates, discussing alternative treatments, or prioritising individual patient assessment over standardised protocols. Scientists face ‘ethics review’ for challenging climate models or disputing attribution claims. Mathematicians risk career consequences for creating models that contradict expert consensus. Corporate executives must demonstrate compliance with ESG frameworks or face investor flight and regulatory pressure.
These are not isolated incidents but systematic disciplinary apparatus designed to eliminate dissent within professional classes. The ‘ethics’ framework is crucial because it makes resistance appear not just wrong but immoral, while giving enforcement bodies moral authority to destroy careers without legal process. Information control operates through the weaponisation of ‘fact-checking’, ‘content moderation’, and ‘media literacy’ frameworks. The systematic suppression of legitimate scientific discussion during COVID-19 — including laboratory origin theories, natural immunity research, and treatment alternatives — demonstrated the complete capture of information systems by expert institutions. https://escapekey.substack.com/p/the-complete-architecture?utm_source=substack&utm_campaign=post_embed&utm_medium=web
