Hamas:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

In a recurring daily bloody scene, the terrorist occupation army today committed a series of horrific massacres against our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, resulting in the martyrdom of around forty people due to bombings of homes and tents of the displaced, and live fire directed at starving civilians gathered around the American-zionist-controlled aid centers.

The occupation army targets only unarmed civilians and deliberately continues to kill dozens of them daily, following a systematic and bloody policy aimed at maintaining and escalating this brutal reality. The killing of children, women, and innocent people is a constant daily objective of the occupation army and a central feature of its criminal war against our people.

We call on international human rights and humanitarian organizations to assume their responsibilities, to document these massacres and horrific violations against our people, and to pursue legal cases in international and national courts, holding occupation leaders accountable as war criminals.

We also renew our call to our Arab and Islamic peoples and all free people around the world to escalate pressure on the occupation and its supporters in all forums, to work toward isolating and boycotting this fascist entity, to break the unjust siege imposed on our people, and to support their steadfastness in their battle for freedom, dignity, and self-determination.

Little kid ass statements make the entity look weak and stupid. Are they going to rip their shirts off and fight 1v1 with swords in the desert?

—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱 Washington Post: 'Israel will only be able to maintain shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles for 10 or 12 more days, then they will need to start rationing munitions'

This could explain why Iran is opting to launch small but consecutive waves. Iran is likely using up some of their older / less sophisticated missiles to deplete Israeli defenses, to make way for the 'real' stuff later on. This is attritional warfare.

In most cases, a small wave of 3-5 Iranian ballistic missiles is enough to prompt the launch of about 10-15 Israeli interceptor missiles, with each one costing at least $12 million dollars (in the case of THAAD).

In contrast, even Iran's most modern missile, the Fattah-1, only costs about $200,000 to produce, according to the IRGC. If we assume 12 interceptors for one Fattah-1 missile (as seen in a video today), that means Israel is spending $144 million dollars to 'intercept' (not always successfully) a single Iranian hypersonic missile.

This is simply not sustainable. Within about two weeks, if Iran keeps up the current pace of fire, Israeli airspace will be at the mercy of Iran's far larger and more destructive solid fuel bsllistic missiles. Unless, of course, the U.S. intervenes directly.

Comments from an observer regarding the attacks corroborating the Iranian statement of limited damage:

If Fordow was gone, you’d see craters, electromagnetic rupture, emergency airlifts, seismographs lighting up, and IR flares beneath the mountain. Instead, we got a tweet from an account run out of Northern Israel, yelling “Fordow is gone”.

As of now, there is no SAR confirmation. No crater clustering. No multispectral flash analysis. No underground fire signature. No BDA loop. If Fordow still spins tomorrow, Washington just pulled off the most expensive influence op in bunker-busting history, only to watch Tehran climb the escalation ladder unscathed.

Not only the attack may have failed, but they just escalated with no strategic success.

@Middle_East_Spectator

If things look bleak, let's remember that it was unprecedented for Israel to get bombed by other nations. Now Iran has the capabilities to inflict damage on Israel, this is a very good development on the anti-imperialist side.

'Fascinating' for a lack of a better word, to see how the different missiles hit. You can see the Iron Dome struggle with the faster (ballistic?) missiles that just call to the ground in less than a second.

🇮🇷 Statement by the Iranian Foreign Ministry:

The bellicose US administration will be held responsible for the extremely dangerous consequences of aggression against Iran. We will defend ourselves with all our might.

🔹This statement strongly condemns the barbaric US aggression against our country's peaceful nuclear facilities and emphasizes: this aggression, committed in collusion with Tel Aviv, has once again demonstrated the depth of depravity that reigns in American politics, as well as the level of hostility and hatred of the US ruling elite towards the peace-loving and independent people of Islamic Iran.

🔹The Foreign Ministry emphasizes: Iran considers it its right to firmly resist US aggression and the crimes of this rebellious regime, as well as to defend its security and national interests.

🔹The Foreign Ministry statement indicated that the US attack on Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities is a flagrant and unprecedented violation of the UN Charter, especially the principle of non-use of force and respect for the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of states, as set out in paragraph 4 of Article 2, a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and a crushing blow to the nuclear non-proliferation regime.

🔹The MFA also emphasizes: Iran recalls the responsibility of the United Nations, the Security Council, the UN Secretary-General, the International Atomic Energy Agency and other competent international bodies to immediately respond to this criminal lawlessness and considers silence in the face of this blatant aggression as an unprecedented and comprehensive threat to the entire world.

🔹The Foreign Ministry's statement calls on the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting, strongly condemn the US's criminal aggression against Iran, and hold the US accountable for grossly violating international norms and principles.
