📝 — What happened in Isfahan in short:
The facility was bombed with dozens of missiles. The US said it was no longer possible to enter the reactor because it was buried during the bombing, and no bunker-buster bombs were used because the site was too deep.
Later, it was discovered that there was a secret tunnel leading to the reactor that was not known to the US, and it appears that the stockpile was removed from it on the 26th of June.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 NEW: Newsweek reports that 15% to 20% of the global THAAD missile interceptor stockpile was depleted to defend against Iranian attacks in the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, with costs exceeding $800 million
The Pentagon press office told Newsweek, 'We have nothing to provide.'
Approximately 100 U.S. troops have been deployed in Israel with two THAAD batteries since 2024 to intercept Iranian and Yemeni missiles.
To defend against just one of the 22 waves of Operation True Promise 3, the U.S. military used 39 THAAD interceptors, while Israelis used more than 40 'Arrow' missiles.
A 2021 U.S. Department of Defense press briefing revealed that only 41 THAAD interceptors were ordered for that year, bringing the global total to 625 by the end of 2021. It is unclear how many exist in total currently.
*The $800 million cost does not include the expenses for SM-3, SM-6, and other missiles used by the U.S. military in their interception attempts during the 12-day war.

⚡️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇮🇷🇮🇷❌🇮🇱 - Yesterday, the Hamas political party & the AlQassam Brigades have mourned Mohammad Saeed Izadi (Hajj Ramadan), the commander of the Palestinian portfolio in Iran's IRGC, killed by Israeli strikes during operation "Rising Lion", and published a statement [click to expand]:
With further pride and honor, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades mourns the great martyr of Palestine to the Palestinian and Iranian peoples, and to the masses of our Arab and Islamic nation:Читать полностью…
The Mujahid Commander, Major General Muhammad Sa'id Izadi "Hajj Ramadan"
Commander of the Palestine Dossier in the Quds Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps
Who was martyred on the path to Jerusalem and Palestine—to which he dedicated his life and to whose liberation—after being assassinated by the treacherous hand of Zionism during the barbaric aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The Brigades extends its deepest condolences to our brothers in the Revolutionary Guard Corps, to the Iranian people, and to the entire leadership of the Islamic Republic of Iran, headed by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence Sayyed Ali Khamenei, on the martyrdom of our brother and friend, the great leader: Hajj Ramadan. He was directly responsible for the relationship with the leadership of the Palestinian resistance, at its core, Hamas and the Qassam Brigades. He joined the ranks of the righteous martyrs of the nation in confronting the criminal Zionism.
As the Al-Qassam Brigades mourn this leader, who will be missed by Palestine and its resistance, they recall his prominent role in supporting the Palestinian resistance and working to provide it with all means necessary, fulfilling the sincere jihadi duty and the role assigned to the leaders and forces of the nation in supporting and assisting the Palestinian people and their resistance. He was a truly unique leader, possessing great impact and a sacred responsibility. He answered God's call to support the resistance, directly interacted with its leadership, and provided it with all means of assistance over many years. He carried the concerns and hopes of the resistance and the mujahideen to his brothers across the republic—alongside a group of his mujahideen brothers and great leaders in the republic.
The Brigades affirm that the Zionist enemy still lives by the illusion of eliminating the spirit of resistance within our people and our nation through the assassination of leaders. They have not learned the lessons of history. This great group of martyred leaders, who led the convoy of martyrs of the flood, in which the blood of our nation's sons from all countries was mixed, To embody the unity of the nation that brought this entity into an autumn that will undoubtedly be followed by the spring of this nation, God willing.
In conclusion, we commend the steadfastness of the Iranian people and the performance of the Iranian Armed Forces, whose painful strikes have disturbed the enemy's sleep and clearly demonstrated the weakness of this temporary entity. They demonstrate that it can be deterred and broken, and that its demise from the land of Palestine is not an illusion, as the prostrated ones have been promoting. Rather, it is possible if the efforts and vital forces of the nation are united. The hearts of the nation's sons are pulsating with resistance and hostility to the occupation, as we have and continue to witness in their overwhelming joy with every missile that strikes the entity or inflicts heavy losses on its forces on all resistance fronts.
It is a jihad of victory or martyrdom.
