Spokeperson for the Iranian atomic energy agency: " We vacated Fordow site from important equipment before the Zio strike "

Doesn't seem like the Zio strike damaged Iranian nuclear programme significantly

Natanz underground facility also reported fine

CNN:

"According to a preliminary assessment by US intelligence, the US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities did not destroy key components of the country's nuclear program and likely set it back only a few months.

Two sources familiar with the assessment said Iran's enriched uranium stockpile was not affected. In fact, one of them said, the centrifuges used to enrich uranium were undamaged

—❗️🇮🇷/🇵🇸 WATCH: Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, part of the IRGC's Joint Staff, broadcasts a message directly from the field, to the people of Palestine:

'O heroic sons of Palestine, 'O brave men and women in the field, 'O zealous fighters of Gaza who have made the Islamic nation proud with your unparalleled jihad, 'O zealous fighters of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, I salute you.

Your 76-year-old jihad is now bearing fruit. Today, the bloodthirsty Zionist wolves who tortured, exterminated, bombed, and usurped your land are now crawling into shelters, or paying exorbitant sums of money to rent a boat or vessel on their shores to escape to Cyprus.

'O heroes of Palestine, this is your day, now it's your historic turn, and this is the great and historic opportunity we have been waiting for.

The moment that will decide the fate of the region and Palestine, the moment we agreed upon, is now unfolding and being realized.

'O youth of the territories occupied in 1948, you are the ones who have suppressed your anger to remain in the important arenas. You are the closest of all to the sensitive targets.

The day of decision and fulfillment of your historic mission is approaching. We are fighting together, side by side, we will join you, we will celebrate together, and we will pray together in Jerusalem.

The day of marching toward Jerusalem is very close. Never forget the covenant we made together. God willing, victory is near.'

I think this attack is 'better' than we're giving it credit for, it's less about the U.S. and more about the Arab states in the Persian Gulf, who have enjoyed wealth and safety in exchange for selling their countries out for far too long. There's a reason Saudi Arabia immediately condemned the attacks.

This was a message to Gulf countries, that hosting American soldiers and equipment in your countries for no purpose other than to serve Israeli interests will not bring you 'safety', in fact it's the opposite if you keep enabling them and only issue mere statements in support of Iran.

Qatar has never been attacked. Its citizens have never heard sirens in their entire lives. This should make them think twice about normalization.

Older Qadr / Emad missiles were used in this operation, which means everything was taken into account as far as being symbolic.

Either way, I now want to see our full focus shift to Tel Aviv now. Not even Ashdod or Ashkelon, but Tel Aviv, with a side of Haifa.

🇰🇵 🇮🇷 Pyongyang, June 23 (KCNA)

A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea gave the following answer to a question raised by KCNA on June 23 as regards the U.S. military strike against Iran's nuclear facilities:

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea strongly denounces the attack on Iran by the U.S. which severely violated the UN Charter with respect for sovereignty and non-interference in internal affairs as the basic principle and norms of other international laws and violently trampled down the territorial integrity and security interests of a sovereign state.

Opposing the threat and exercise of the force blocking the territorial integrity and political independence of a country in international relations is the purpose, principle and fundamental spirit of the UN Charter reflecting the general will of the international community.

The present situation of the Middle East, which is wholly shaking the basis of international peace and security, is an inevitable product brought by the reckless valor of Israel which has promoted its unilateral interests through ceaseless war moves and territorial expansion and by the Western-style free order that has tolerated and encouraged it.

Israel’s and the U.S. acts of further aggravating the tension in the Middle East and causing serious negative consequences to the global security structure by dint of physical strength under the pretext of the so-called "peacekeeping" and "threat removal" are amplifying serious concerns.

The just international community should raise the voice of unanimous censure and rejection against the U.S. and Israel's confrontational acts.

Seems several sources say that hypersonic missiles were fired by Iran. That must have been the super fast ones I saw in the vids. Scary things those.

Oh, look the white euro master race might graciously permit Iran to continue being a sovereign state on the other side of the world.

Iran was, after all, guilty of the crime of being sneak attacked by a rabid fascist dog.

The altruism of the white european oligarch is legendary.

"Ben Gurion" Airport closed down "until further notice"

[–] tastemyglaive@lemmy.ml 20 points 3 weeks ago

You know what as much as I really really really wanted Americans to suffer, I have to say that the Iranians are clearly very happy about this outcome. Whether this ceasefire lasts even a week I don't know, but I sure hope there is some advancement on the counterintelligence front. They need to ally with Xi "I killed all of the CIA agents in my country" Jinping. If you still live in one of the Fourth Reich countries I recommend you leave.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer calls on Iran to return to the negotiating table, urging diplomacy as tensions in the Middle East escalate.

Update:

UK informed of US strike on Iran but not asked to get involved: Minister

Britain was not involved in the US strikes on Iran and didn’t receive a request for its Diego Garcia base to be used, but it was informed ahead of the attack, Trade Minister Jonathan Reynolds says. Prime Minister Keir Starmer will spend the morning talking to allies, Reynolds told Sky News.

An opposer of Iran's government posted this on her social networks: she does not follow Netanyahu's instructions to attack her country and goes on to defend the Persian nation.

Translation:

Netanyahu told the people of Iran last night that those who want freedom of dress and independence should separate from Iran and join Israel, create chaos and unrest in the country, and take to the streets so that he can attack their military positions and change the regime for them. But fortunately, even I and my generation, who used to disagree with our government about freedom and demanded freedom of dress, have now changed our minds, and we will not make any moves against our dear country, and we will stand side by side, with or without the hijab, until our last breath for the sake of our dear Iran.

They've been doing this every single day for what? the last two weeks?

Lure starving people out with food and then open fire on them. Gazans know this is happening, but they have to choose between starvation or squid game.

I've never cried so much in my life as I have this last year. I see it, I feel it, but the fucking depravity of it seems impossible. I can't get myself to comprehend it. How could you be there. In that sad place. Looking at these tormented, frail children, with their lost and frightened eyes... and not fall to your knees weeping uncontrollably.

Iran is warning Israel:

Occupied territories will not be 'inhabitable' Before launching this latest round of missile strikes, the spokesperson of the Armed Forces issued a stern warning to the Israeli settlers: Leave while you can, as the occupied territories will not be “inhabitable." “Warnings for you in the coming days: Leave the occupied territories, because, certainly, they won’t be inhabitable in the future,” Colonel Reza Sayyad said on Sunday.

—❗️🇷🇺/🇮🇷/🇺🇳 Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov:

'I completely understand if Iran wants to suspend all cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

Grossi is now insisting that Iran grant the agency immediate access to its nuclear facilities to verify the whereabouts of enriched materials and assess the situation on the ground.

But where are the assurances that this information won’t be leaked? I see no such safeguards. There is no confidentiality at all.'

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇳 BREAKING: The law of ceasing all cooperation between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been approved by the Parliament and the Guardian Council, and the law was signed by the president.

Iran will now officially have NO cooperation with the IAEA, meaning NO inspections.

You'd think this kinda news would be on the front smack dab of the page for the past week, but no. Not even the past day.

Same with worldnews on best. 7 articles down you get Israel justifying it's strikes over "nuke-design" while Ukraine-Russia fills the page.

Stormfront certainly has their priorities straight.
