📸 The US and Israeli strikes on Tehran did not affect Iran's ability to wage war, said the head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Araghchi.
"We have had two decades to study the defeats of the US armed forces to the east and west of us. We have learned the appropriate lessons.
The explosions in our capital did not affect our ability to wage war at all. Decentralized mosaic defense allows us to decide when and how the war will end."

Over 100 schoolgirls dead. The Ayatollah assassinated. Dubai under missile fire. The Strait of Hormuz shaken.
The old playbook is back: nuclear fear, moral grandstanding, escalation without accountability.
Europe looks stunned. Washington looks insulated. And the region burns.

The Mayor of New York, Democrat Zohran Mamdani, criticized the US actions against Iran, calling the strikes a "catastrophic escalation of an illegal war of aggression".
"Today's military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — are a catastrophic escalation of an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. The deaths of civilians. The opening of a new theater of military operations. Americans don't want this. They don't want another war for regime change. They want to alleviate the crisis of life accessibility. They want peace.
I am focused on ensuring the safety of every New Yorker. I am in contact with the police commissioner and representatives of emergency services. We are taking preventive measures, including strengthening interagency coordination and increasing patrols in sensitive areas as a precautionary measure.
In addition, I want to address directly the Iranian residents of New York: you are part of the fabric of this city, you are our neighbors, small business owners, students, artists, workers, and community leaders. You will be safe here."

🖥️ "Our forces are now operating in the heart of Tehran with increasing intensity, and this intensification will only continue in the coming days" - Netanyahu about the bombings of Iran.
"I have just concluded a meeting with the Minister of Defense, the Chief of the General Staff, and the head of Mossad. I gave instructions for the further conduct of the campaign. Yesterday, we eliminated Khamenei, along with dozens of representatives of the oppressive regime. Our forces are now operating in the heart of Tehran with increasing intensity, and this intensification will only continue in the coming days.
At the same time, these are difficult days. Yesterday, here in Tel Aviv, and now in Beit Shemesh, we lost dear people. My heart is with the families of the victims, and on behalf of all citizens of Israel, I express hope for the speedy recovery of the wounded.
We are conducting a campaign, using all the power of the IDF, which has never been before, to ensure our existence and future. The support of the USA - my friend Donald Trump, and the US armed forces - has joined this campaign.
This combination of forces allows us to do what I have been dreaming of for 40 years: crush the terror regime. That's what I promised, and that's what will be done."

🖥️ From the "President of Peace" to the Language of Force: How Donald Trump's Rhetoric of "Peacekeeper" Has Changed:
- These globalists want to squander all of America's power, blood, and wealth chasing monsters and ghosts abroad. Moreover, we need to completely dismantle the entire globalist neoconservative establishment that constantly drags us into endless wars by pretending to be fighting for freedom and democracy abroad.
- We should have never gone to the Middle East. We should have never gone there. Under my leadership, we will forever turn the page on these foolish, senseless days of endless wars.
- We are rebuilding our military, making it stronger than ever before, and we will no longer deplete it in foolish, senseless, endless wars.
- World War III has never been closer than it is now. We need to get rid of all the warmongers and the last globalists in the "deep state". I am the president who brings peace.
- I was the first president in decades who did not start a single war. And the worst, most incompetent, and most corrupt president in history will drag us into World War III.
- Look at most of the Middle East — at the death and destruction that has occurred there. None of this would have happened if I had been president.
- Speaking of World War III — I will save you from it. What will happen if a war starts? It won't happen under me. Without me, I think there will be World War III. But not under me. I will make sure World War III does not happen. I am the only one who can say this. It won't happen. I stand here today as the only candidate who can make this promise. I will prevent — and very easily prevent — World War III. Easily. I make this promise.
- Bombs will be falling everywhere. When we're done, take control of your government. It will be yours, take it. This will probably be your only chance for generations. For many years, you've been asking for America's help, but you've never received it. No president has been willing to do what I'm willing to do tonight.

The Washington Post: Pressure from Saudi Arabia and Israel pushed Trump to attack Iran.
According to officials familiar with the situation, Trump launched a large-scale air campaign against Iran after several weeks of lobbying by Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman repeatedly called Trump privately over the past month, urging a US attack, despite his public support for a diplomatic solution, four sources said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meanwhile, continued his longstanding public campaign for US strikes on Iran, which he views as an existential enemy of his country. The combined efforts led Trump to order a large-scale air campaign against Iran's leadership and military targets, which killed Khamenei and several other senior Iranian officials in the first hour.
Now Trump will have to bear the risks of the bet he has made: that a large-scale air operation can achieve political goals on the ground, notes the author of the article.
The attack took place despite US intelligence assessments that Iranian forces are unlikely to pose a direct threat to US territory in the next decade. The strike on Iran on Saturday marked a departure from decades of US restraint policy, under which the US refrained from full-scale attempts to overthrow the regime in a country with a population of more than 90 million. It also marked a sharp turn compared to Trump's previous military operations, which were much more limited in scale.
