In addition to the previous report of explosions also in Rojhelat (Iran held part of Kurdistan) while Israel bombs Tehran, there are also reports of explosions in the Provinces Kermanshah, Luristan, Isfahan and Hamadan.
I have seen what appears to be people crushed to death, on the sidewalks and streets, by the debris from the residential houses destroyed by Israel bombing Tehran. I'm not going to be sharing those.
You DO NOT attack densely populated areas with high-explosives! It is by its nature an indiscriminate attack and therefore a war crime.
Apparently the Netanyahu Gang calls its new war of aggression in Iran "Rising Lion", apparently a reference to the Book of Numbers 23:24, "Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain." (KJV).
"Israel military says 'completed first stage' of strikes against Iranian military, nuclear targets" lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… "First stage", indicating as previously stated that they intend to keep going with this war of aggression for a long time. Some Israeli media indicate a matter of weeks being planned at least.
'New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said that the Israeli air strikes on Iran was a “really unwelcome development” and that the conflict raised serious concerns for the Middle East' theguardian.com/world/live/202… Thanks, Minister of Obvious Affairs.
Iran's fighter jets are reportedly now flying over Tehran, presumably with the intent of attempting to shoot down drones or long-range missiles from Israel attacking the city, since Iran doesn't have an Iran Dome like Israel has. Here's one:
There are many reports of various specific high military and academic leaders supposedly having been killed by Israel's war of aggression in Iran tonight, but frankly those are not important in my opinion so that can wait until it's confirmed. I care about the people, not the oppressors.
"Iran state TV says children are among those killed in the Israeli attack on residential areas in Tehran" theguardian.com/world/live/202… It would be a miracle if that was NOT the case after bombing the... well, you've seen what they bombed.
Second wave of Israel's war of aggression bombardments in Iran has begun according to Israel's Channel 12, reports Aryen TV (Rojhelat/Iran-opposition TV).
"Iranian state media confirms killing of Revolutionary Guards chief in Israeli strike" reuters.com/world/middle-east/… If there is anything like a hell, that's a new resident. Still does of course NOT justify bombing densely populated areas.
'Jack Reed, the most senior Democrat on the Senate armed services committee, has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran, describing them as “alarming” and “reckless”' theguardian.com/world/live/202…
Reportedly at the counter-revolutionary and imperialist expeditionary military force IRGC's base in Kermanshah, Rojhelat/W Iran, on fire after the bombing by Israel. I'd guess that's what you can see burning for a brief moment.
"Iran vowed a "strong response" to deadly Israeli air strikes that hit multiple areas across the country on Friday, including nuclear facilities" AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Of course. Remember that when the rulers war for dominance, it's the regular people who get crushed to death in between them, always and everywhere.
Attacks so far by Israel on various locations in Iran, a summary from the counter-revolutionary and imperialist expeditionary military force IRGC's website, via the Free Trade Union of Iran, in a rough translation: • Central Tehran • Qitariyeh, Tehran • Niavaran, Tehran • West Tehran and Chitgar • East Tehran • Mehrabad, Tehran • Multiple attacks on Mahallati residential area, Tehran • Shahid Chamran residential area, Nobeinyad, Tehran • A building in Kamrani'eh, Tehran • Narmek, Tehran • Saadat Abad, Tehran • Andarzgu, Tehran • Erkeideh complex at Star Khan, Tehran • Shahid Daghaghi residential area (extensive attacks), Tehran • Farahzadi, Tehran • Headquarters of the General Staff of the Armed Forces • Azghal, Tehran • Residence of Ali Shamkhani • Shahrara, Tehran • Esatid complex in Saadat Abad Book Market • Garmdareh • Marzdaran, Tehran

Probably the actual target of the Netanyahu Gang bombing in Iran now is to drag the people in Israel into another and more intense war, for the purpose of eliminating both domestic dissent and even more so the growing demands now also from various major States that Israel must stop its atrocities against the Palestinian People, also seeking to pull those into by extension supporting their aggressions in Syria and Lebanon, while using as pretext the alleged ambition of Iran to acquire nukes just as Israel already has nukes. None of that will make any of the peoples anymore safe, but very many people dead, to keep Netanyahu in power instead of at The Hague.
'Iran warned it has a "legal and legitimate right" to respond to Israel's deadly attacks Friday [...]' AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Actually, no, that is factually incorrect. A State has the right to defend against an attack from another State's territory until that particular instance of attack has ended. There does not exist any right to "retaliate", nor any right to "preemptive attack". Both of those are simply acts of war of aggression.
If a State has been attacked from another's territory and they don't resolve it diplomatically, the attacked's right is to bring the matter to the UN Security Council, which then is to consider potential sanctions which may be of many types including economic and even deciding that the attacked State is given the right to go to war against the

In the latter case the attacked State does then have a legal right to go to war without it being a war of aggression, crime against peace. Both Israel and Iran keep claiming fictional rights to "retaliate" or "preempt" as justifications for war, but those do not exist, for any State equally.
Not my opinion or wish. It's the States' system as they have designed it and all States agree to by declaring themselves States, is a part of the UN Charter and similar.
One of Iran's hundreds of kamikaze-drones sent to bomb Israel because Israel bombed Iran because Iran allegedly is creating nukes which Israel already has because... and so on and so on.
- why do you attack Iran? - They have Weapons of Mass Destruction - Why don't you attack North Korea? - They really have Weapons of Mass Destruction, like for real
@alihan_banan Some others that have nukes: Germany, Belgium, Italy, Turkey and the Netherlands. Possibly shortly also Sweden. It's USA's nukes, but they do have them. Will Israel bomb Germany? Israel also has nukes. Will Israel bomb Israel? How about no nukes for nobody?
One of the several times Israel bombed the Natanz nuclear facility in central Iran night to today and this morning. It's some special kind of crazy to bombard a nuclear reactor. Some Putin kind of crazy.
Iran official announced on domestic TV that the talks negotiating a new agreement to keep Iran from developing nukes, which were being held between USA and Iran after Trump broke the previous agreement at the end of Trump's previous term, now has been canceled due to recent developments: Iran being bombed by Israel for allegedly getting nukes, so that bombing against acquisition of nukes thereby prevented the diplomatic agreement which would have kept Iran from getting nukes. Good job, Bibi, you... *gaah*
Israel: We must attack them to stop them from getting nukes. Iran: We must get nukes now because they attacked us.
Or, actually literally: ───── “One should not speak to such a predatory regime except in the language of power,” the Iranian government said in a statement.
“The world now better understands Iran’s insistence on the right to enrichment, nuclear technology, and missile power.” ───── theguardian.com/world/live/202… Anyone could and should have predicted that result of the attacks.
Netanyahu says Iran’s main enrichment facility targeted; Iran state media says five dead in Tehran; IDF reports 100 drones launched toward Israel from Iran
Now Iran's kamikaze-drones are flying over Syria, on the way to hit Israel for having hit Iran, etc, etc, so should start impacts in Iran within a matter of minutes.
Iran reportedly called for a meeting of the UN Security Council now. OK, fine. Good even, but you know what you should have done? You should have done that INSTEAD of sending the kamikaze-drones in "retaliation". Then you would have had a much stronger case AT THAT UNSC MEETING. Sigh.
"Iran says Israel attack 'declaration of war'" lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Almost true. Israel's bombings were acts of war of aggression, initiating a war without right to war (jus ad bellum), which is not just a violation of international law but also as often quoted from the precedents setting Nuremberg Tribunal "the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole", but it was not a "declaration" of war, it was launching a war without a declaration, which technically is also a separate (and lesser) violation.
What they may have meant was to say that due to Israel's bombings there is now a de facto and de jure state of war, an international armed conflict, which is true, as technically the moment one bullet (or equivalent or more) crosses from one State's territory into another's those States are in a state of war until they resolve it diplomatically (or remain unaware of it/ignore it away).
Trumps on Israel's war of aggression attacks bombing Iran: "I think it's been excellent." reuters.com/world/uk/trump-isr… Well, I think you're a jingoistic moron, a danger to everyone on earth and actually the underlying root cause for these attacks since it was YOU personally who broke the previous agreement with Iran which was effectively keeping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. So there's that.
Oh, whoops. I now noticed that I accidentally broke my toots-thread dedicated to Israel's war of aggression bombings of Iran (and related) during the night to today.
My first thread accidentally ended here todon.eu/@b9AcE/11467328558662… while it should have continued with everything in this thread.
Unofficial numbers for only the war of aggression attacks on Tehran by Israel so far since during the night to today is 78 dead and 329 injured, in addition to whatever the numbers may be outside Tehran too.
'Iran imposes internet restrictions after Israel attack [...] "will be lifted once normalcy returns."' AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… So that explains the decrease in reports. Also, what do you mean by "normalcy"? Will the Mullahs regime resign and let the people have a normal political life? (─←sarcasm)
Erdoğan commented Israel's war of aggression attacks in Iran during night to today and onwards. ───── Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday warned Israel was seeking to drag the world into "disaster" after strikes on Iran, urging the international community to stop what he called Israel's "banditry."
"The international community must put an end to Israeli banditry that targets global and regional stability," said Erdogan. ───── AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew…

You are exactly the same as Netanyahu. In genocidalism, expansionist aggression, oppressive rule and in being a threat to everyone on earth.
"Iraq accuses Israel of using its airspace to attack Iran" lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Technically, according to the rules for States agreed to by every State by declaring itself a State, that does mean there is or was a state of war between Israel and Iraq too, although it seems probable Iraq won't push the matter very hard more than demanding the UNSC act and then probably letting it go, is my guess. Iraq is kinda busy at the moment, e.g. by being occupied by Turkey.
Now the mature people made a statement too on Israel's war of aggression bombings in Iran. @KCK_Kurdistan_ Executive Council Co-Chairpersons in a rough translation: ──── Following midnight last night, Israel conducted extensive airstrikes against Iran. This attack has further deepened the war that escalated on Oct 7, 2023, causing significant harm to peoples in all respects and leading to destruction and great suffering. Wars developed by States for the sake of power, authority, and hegemony have not only failed to resolve problems but also caused immense harm to peoples. […] The history of the Middle East, adorned with continuous warfare for a century, has sufficiently shown that no problem can be solved through war; it leads to pain, loss, and destruction, further complicating issues and making them insurmountable.

NEW KCK STATEMENT!
‘Through War no Solution Can be Achieved!’- Statement by the Co-Presidency of the KCK Executive Council, regarding Israel’s attacks on the Iran as the latest escalation of the raging war.
AFP now describing what you saw in the video I uploaded earlioer: "Iran media says air defenses intercept 'projectiles' over Tehran", with a bit more in the article lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew…
Initially the Trump-regime claimed it had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Israel's war of aggression bombings in Iran night to today, then Trump started shifting stance, started claiming maaaaybe they knew something and now "Trump scrambles to claim credit for Israel’s Iran attack he publicly opposed". theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j… Don't trust a word that person says, ever. Never trust an authoritarian.
"Israel’s military has identified missiles being launched from Iran and towards the territory of Israel, Reuters reports" theguardian.com/world/live/202… Reuters' website is a mess, so that'll do.
If that was in any way unclear to anyone: Ballistic missiles are like, pain... owie! If they head towards you, it's time to play the hiding game until the owies go away. Don't do this.
Three different reactions by Israeli to Tel Aviv being bombarded and hit with ballistic missiles from Iran earlier, three different perspectives, I suppose.
Israel's Minister of War, Israel Katz reported to declare that Iran "crossed a red line" by attacking civilian areas in Israel (after Israel bombed civilian areas in Iran for... many hours) and declared that the Iran-regime will pay for its criminal actions... ...which must mean that Katz did criminal actions in Katz's own opinion, because they both committed the same war crime of using high-explosives to attack densely populated areas, weapons which by their nature are indiscriminate in that context.
"Iran’s envoy to the UN security council, Amir Saeid Iravani, said 78 people including senior officials had been killed in the Israeli attacks on Friday, and that more than 320 were injured, most of them civilians. theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Tehran late during the night to today, as a result of Israel's bombardments. Three videos chosen as representing what was seen in the other videos at the time too.
"A missile fired from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthi militia, killed five Palestinians including three children in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
[...] The Israel Defence Force said no interceptors were launched to prevent the missile strike." theguardian.com/world/live/202…

The "Free Life Party of [Iran-held part of] Kurdistan" (PJAK) on the Israel/Iran war: ───── […] This is a war of power and conflicting interests, not a war of liberation for peoples and nations. It erupted as a result of the Islamic Republic’s expansionist and warmongering policies, showing no regard for the suffering of the Iranian people. The rulers initiated this war, and the costs are being borne by a population already struggling with social and economic crises. The high number of civilian casualties, especially women and children, in Iran and Israel during these attacks highlights the grim reality that states hold little value for people's lives.
The people of Iran should not be forced to choose between war and accepting a dictatorial regime. The Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), which opposes the imposition of war on the people of Iran, emphasizes the principle of democratic struggle.

Schimon, 63, in Tel Aviv on why Israel's war of aggression in Iran is worth it. Snippet from a piece from Public Service radio of Sweden.
Counterpoint for balance: The Iran-theocracy declared after the attacks began that they hadn't been building nuclear bombs only civilian nuclear power, but that now because Israel attacked they must build nukes, they claimed.
Counterpoint for reality: Nukes do not deter unless it is proven that one would actually really use them and that can only be proved if one really actually would. Look at the number of wars involving nukes States. They do not deter. Nukes are preparation to commit the worst atrocity ever seen by humankind, can not be accepted for ANYone to have.
"UK moves jets to Middle East as Starmer refuses to rule out defending Israel" Starmer current PM of UK and right-wing leader of centrist Labour party says as justification for contributing to the escalation that "we do recognise Israel’s right to self-defence". theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j… Uhuuuh. But... Israel is the aggressor. A "preemptive attack" as the Netanyahu Gang themselves called it can not possibly be considered "defence", not morally nor linguistically (and absolutely not legally).
@geonz It is the same "logic" that Katz expressed today at the latest, same "logic" as probably every habitual spouse/child-beater. "Only *I* am allowed to hit, YOU are not allowed to strike back and if you do as I do then I'll do worse".
Israel's attacks in Iran continue to include civilian fuels industry, other industry and civilian infrastructure. Here's at the vital Rajaee port at Bandar Abbas (yes, the huge explosion place) at the southern coast.

USA will probably just ignore their obligation.
One thing Netanyahu has managed to create for the people in Israel and allies with the attacks in Iran: More and more firm enemies in the region. Sadrist and and pro-PMF/PMU (pro-Iran regime) crowd moving towards the Embassy of USA in Baghdad.
A new wave of missiles were launched form Shiraz (central southern Iran) and western Iran, towards Israel. They may meet the military jets of Israel about ¼ of the way to their target, as those jets were earlier reported over Bashur/N Iraq.
More missiles reported fired from Iran to Israel. Previous batch was reportedly ~40. New launches at Isfahan, Kermashan, Qom, Shiraz and Tehran, at least. Now reportedly ~100 so far.
146 confirmed killed and 532 confirmed injured due to Israel's attacks in Iran with at least 4 identified as children, according to human rights org HRANA, via major newspaper Expressen in Sweden.
Rojava source says there was an explosion now in Hasakah, which is in the autonomous North and East Syria, a.k.a. Rojava. Reportedly an attack on the "international coalition" which is still fighting against ISIL/Daesh there.
"Iran's oil ministry says Israeli strikes hit two fuel depots in Tehran" AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… That's what you saw burning in the video earlier.
Also said to be Haifa. I haven't seen reports of any new missile wave being fired from Iran, so it must be previous wave, probably some impact I've already posted, but different angle. Remarkable anyway.

Adding this kolektiva.social/@subMedia/114… translation from @subMedia of a statement by @anarchistfront to my thread dedicated to that topic, the war between the government of Israel and the government of Iran. I fully endorse that statement.
We, the Anarchist Front of Iran and Afghanistan, once again reaffirm our unwavering and principled stance:
Every war-at any scale and under any pretext-that is initiated or prolonged by states is to be unequivocally condemned.
States, regardless of their form or appearance, utilize war as an instrument for survival and control. And in this process, it is the lives, dignity, and futures of ordinary people that are trampled underfoot.
At a time when the world is once more engulfed by violence, bombings, death, displacement, and insecurity, we insist on this enduring truth: the true victims of war are always the people-not the states, not ideologies, not borders.
Our struggle, as ever, is not for the redistribution of power among elites, but against the very institution of the state and all forms of organized domination.
We stand in solidarity-with care and resolve-alongside the people of Iran, Afghanistan, and the broader region.
What we are witnessing today is, on one hand, the blatant crimes of the Israeli regime, which targets civilians in Gaza and elsewhere with savage brutality. On the other hand, we see the Islamic Republic of Iran manipulating public fear, playing geopolitical games at the cost of Iranian lives, and forcing the burden of war upon society.
We see the Islamic Republic not merely as a regional warmonger, but as part of a global chain of domination and repression-a regime that for decades has assaulted the Iranian people with censorship, poverty, imprisonment, torture, and execution, and recklessly endangers millions through its military provocations.
While we condemn the atrocities of the Zionist regime in the strongest terms, we also declare that the struggle against the Islamic Republic is part of our broader fight against all states and structures of domination-a struggle that will persist.
We fight for a world without borders without states, without armies or authoritarianism-a world in which humanity, life and freedom are placed at the center. Our primary war has always been the war against political authoritarianism, totalitarianism and the state itself.
Anarchist Front of Iran and Afghanistan Kharad 1404
Impact part of the previous Tel Aviv video was questioned. I can't verify and I can't remake the aftermath part now as I've left home, so I just delete it. The thread continues todon.eu/@b9AcE/11468721836864… there now because we can merge split threads.
the burning lights: are these missiles that have been hit by air defense? I would guess that "normal" missiles' engines should be off at that period of flight; but I only know little about these things
@kasimir Hmm, I think they maybe be using the engines at the end too, to ensure maximum speed at least, while I believe Israel's equivalent rockets also have built-in automatic evasive maneuvers so those also use engines. But this is speculation.
Note to the older toot: I thought it looked like an Arash, which is Iran's, but the source said Israeli and that source is usually well informed, so I decided I must have missed Israel having a similar looking one. I was wrong in believing I was wrong. The drone was from Iran, an Arash.
Since it's not actually important, I'll let the toot remain with this note, instead of ripping the thread apart and try awkwardly mending it.
@pettter Yeah. Only way is to rip it apart and then do super-awkward stitches by adding toots to each end pointing at each other, but it seems to me many people don't actually go to the other past cross the severing when that happens.
I absolutely take your point and you'll see I boosted your OP about there being no "self-defence" once the attack is over. Having said that, Israel itself said something about this having been the first round or something to that effect, so we don't strictly ‧know‧ that the Iranian drones are retaliatory as opposed to targeting facilities from which another attack is ‧imminent‧ (and yes, that is the absolutely crucial condition)?
@bifouba Well, yes, but... "responding to" was the phrase they used, not "defending against". The article 51 of the UN Chartera that they invoked is about "individual or collective self-defence". I'm pretty sure that if John Doe punches someone and at court says "I did it to respond to being hit" then Doe would get convicted for that, whilst if John doe instead says "I did it do defend myself from the previous attack reasonably being believed to continuing" and proves it to be reasonable then Doe would be acquitted (unless it was excessive). If they would not have said that it was "responding to" before launching, but instead "defending against" openly announced continuing waves of attack or even just kept quiet, then I would have considered them to probably fulfill the criteria at that point for being able to claim it being self-defense, depending on what they target, etc.
the UN Security Council can't do anything against Israel as long as the US is there to veto everything. Not a useful process for Iran, or anybody else attacked by Israel.
@ghouston I didn't design it. I'm just telling it how it is. The UNSC vetoes and permanent UNSC memberships should be abolished; they are the reason we're not in Cold War 2. That is my opinion. My further opinion is also that all States should be abolished, for the good of all humankind, but that's not relevant to Iran's claim of having the "legal and legitimate rights" they claimed and that was the topic of my toot, not my opinions.
@Ciela Yeah, he political elites of both countries do actually both benefit from the military escalation, as it legitimizes crushing of domestic dissent and more similar externally. Some people just are dead set on finding someone to support in every conflict, including wars, and therefore become unable to accept that there can be multiple aggressors of varying or equal amounts, while often and in the case of State vs State wars always, the correct answer to "which do you support" is "no".
@Flatus I'll reuse my recent answer todon.eu/@b9AcE/11467459760396… to a similar statement, not because your point isn't important, because it is, but because I already typed it and my answer is the same.
As to your further points, the only thing that can truly keep peace between States while those exist is to have as much free and open exchange between the populaces as possible, so that the peoples learn directly by meeting each other that they are not each others' enemies but rather instead share the same enemies, the governments that oppress them and force them to war against each other. That then disables those States from sending the poor and disempowered to die for the rich and empowered. THAT is a deterrent. Nukes can never be claimed to be a "deterrent" as it only

It is a logically impossible claim. Also, see how many wars have existed with nukes powers in them over the decades since those were invented. They do not deter. It is just not a valid claim.
@ghouston I didn't design it. I'm just telling it how it is. The UNSC vetoes and permanent UNSC memberships should be abolished; they are the reason we're not in Cold War 2. That is my opinion. My further opinion is also that all States should be abolished, for the good of all humankind, but that's not relevant to Iran's claim of having the "legal and legitimate rights" they claimed and that was the topic of my toot, not my opinions.
@Flatus Something that does not exist can not take hold of anything. That too is a logical impossibility.
The only plausible way to force an abolition of those vetoes is to have those be abused until it is indisputably clear that it can not be kept, which USA and Russia (primarily) are working on achieving very actively.
@Flatus Ideally the deterioration of the UNSC over the latest ~2 decades should have not happened. Then probably we wouldn't be in Cold War 2 and have all those major wars and refugee displacements now, but nagging that they should stop abusing the veto (I know that I did anyway) does not appear to have helped. It won't do anything to stop the current escalation of course, but hopefully, maybe, possibly, the conflict might be what drastically increases the demand from the UNGA to abolish the UNSC vetoes and permanent memberships, so those can be abolished before the next escalation would have happened.
Along with that I also hope for similar strength in demand for making not only use but also possession of any nukes reinterpreted as a violation of the already existing customary international humanitarian law, on the basis that the possession of such is de facto preparing to commit largest ever war crimes, crimes against humanity, so possession of those can not be allowed, by

Then maybe we can start from there and slowly strip their weapons off of them until they sit there with forks and table knives and the thought of trying to launch wars with that... probably actually would be a deterrent. I'm going to sleep now.
@bifouba Again though, that's arguing entirely within their (States') rules system, because that was the context used.
That should not be taken as an endorsement from me of that rules system or of the States-based system underlying that. I am still actually an anarchist even though I happen to have read their rules for themselves. Like a medical doctor knowing about diseases isn't an endorsement of everyone getting every disease. ;-D I just wanted to say that, even though you in no way indicated believing so.
@Sofie_unlabeled Yes, if it wasn't for the damn world-harming UNSC vetoes, I extremely much doubt they would have done this. Also yes, it is always the peoples getting crushed by the rulers for the rulers' thirst for power and misunderstood personal "prestige". It is always the peoples who matter, not the shits responsible for the wars and the oppression required to achieve willingness to war for them.
@Sofie_unlabeled I had literally just gotten under my duvet to go to sleep, but checked if anything had happened in the world one last time before sleep and... OH, it started now. The first message arrived just as I was checking. FFFFFffffffuuuc...
@Sofie_unlabeled Yes. I am trying to limit what I post/forward on this topic to what I consider (subjectively of course) to be relatively major events, etc because if I would post/forward everything then you would get >1000 posts per day and that's probably too much.
'Iran media says at least 128 people killed in Friday-Saturday Israel attacks [...] "[...] and around 900 injured individuals were admitted to" hospitals, said Etemad daily, citing the health ministry. [...] adding that the "number of martyred children is significant."' AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Iran's State-controlled press and government are unreliable sources, but it is the only we're going to have in the current situation (and yes, the same is true for conflict counterpart's).

Since this morning I have seen videos like this from Tehran. People leaving, hoping for safety elsewhere.
Israel bombs indiscriminately everywhere internally so safety would only be had if leaving, but Turkey previously blocked the border previously to please Fascists in EU, strengthening the Iran-regime's grip on power, while fleeing to Russia likely means fleeing to conscription because EU closed its borders to people fleeing war, genocide, persecution, strengthening the grip on power by the culprits. So where to go? Not everyone can go to the mountains, join the freedom guerrilla and become labeled "terrorist" by USA for opposing the Iran-regime which USA wants to keep as a perpetual external threat for the purpose of domestic subjugation.
Military and militias now shooting at Israel's aircraft passing through in Iraq without permission. De jure such "passing through" without permission does mean that a state of war exists unless resolved diplomatically, but Israel's planes do this whenever they feel like because Iraq's forces can't fight back because that was USA's obligation and USA is the world's worst, least trustworthy ally ever.
"Iran has told mediators Qatar and Oman that it is not open to negotiating a ceasefire while it is under Israeli attack" reuters.com/world/middle-east/…
Yeah, admittedly it was more of a rhetorical question towards the Iranian regime😄
They should have just said "We're not interested in a ceasefire right now", period. Saying they won't negotiate a ceasefire while under attack makes no sense to me, as without a ceasefire the attacks won't stop anyway.
@ankoeln In other conflicts I have seen it demanded that the firing cease before negotiations begin for a ceasefire agreement. The agreement being a formalization of the state of no longer firing (supposedly) in practice. Of course if one really wants the firing to cease as soon as possible, then any diplomacy in that direction would be taken at any time, so your general point still applies.
Interesting! I wonder how that is supposed to work in practice though, as it would require one side to unilaterally stop attacking before negotiations about a ceasefire could even start. And it would mean that in conflicts like the war in Ukraine, ceasefire negotiations could never happen as the firing never stops.
@ankoeln I believe I have seen cases where one side announces that "we will cease firing at [time]" and kinda hope that counterparty/ies follow along, but I don't remember which specific case(s) that would have been, except for the PKK's unilateral ceasefire of course towards Turkey, but that a different type of conflict ("non international") and Erdoğan didn't cease firing in return.
Israel's bombing damaged ICU at hospital this morning when it bombed Kermanshah, W Iran. There were more photos like this, but here is a representative sample:
"Iran says parliament is preparing bill to leave nuclear non-proliferation treaty" reuters.com/world/middle-east/… Congratulations to Trump for the "great negotiating" here, by Trump breaking the previous agreement at end of previous term thereby leaving EU to try to but failing to get a new agreement in place to prevent nukes and now letting Israel go ahead with the war of aggression, they won this: increased threat for everyone worldwide.

@Nazani Of course. Both Netanyahu and Trump (and all those before) do not just not care about the people in Iran striving to self-liberate from the authoritarian reactionary regime, but actually approve of its policies and actions because that's what they are promoting domestically be imposed over the people they themselves rule, previously slowly but at alarmingly accelerating speed. What Iran is to them is just a tool to be used as an only vaguely defined external threat, a claimed reason for why authoritarianism must be increased domestically, "in defense of our freedoms" and why dissent must be crushed both overtly and covertly for the sake of cohesion in the name of "national security", same as the Iran-theocracy does. Notably those who are the most war hawkish are also those whose domestic tendencies are the most like the claimed opponent, including placing their own interpretation of their religion mandatorily over the entire populace (see e.g. Utah, Texas, Florida, etc) by force.

"Iran Intensifies Repression Under Pretext of War; Widespread Arrests and Enforced Disappearance of Political Prisoners" iranhr.net/en/articles/7674/ The Netanyahu Gang has in several statements and videos falsely associated itself with primarily antiauthoritarian, feminist, antiracist opposition in Iran, which it must be aware of and therefore intended to cause that opposition to be targeted, just as it did during the widespread uprisings a few years ago whereby they directly contributed to getting people sentenced to be murdered by the Iran-theocracy's courts system, while in actual reality the Israel-regime is also authoritarian, sexist, racist, etc just like their counterpart in Iran.

This further increases the risk of global hot war for everyone and the risk for every entity in some way associable with USA in particular, but since primarily USA's Republican party elite have been cheering and literally singing and for war with Iran for decades, they don't care about the constitution they so often claim to have read but instead just cheer theguardian.com/world/live/202… the now very plausible new "forever-war". At least Bush had fraudulent authorization, at least pretended.
Note, the Iran-theocracy is despicable, murderously oppressive, racist and sexist. This has absolutely nothing to do with that. State vs State war is never a good thing.
In a post on social media earlier, the US president said ‘A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home’
Through the governments of Israel+USA war attacking the government of Iran "A new order is being established in the Middle East under American hegemony." and "If the regime accepts American demands and surrenders, or if a different kind of agreement is made with the U.S. and Israel, you can be sure of this: the first thing this regime will do is turn on its own people and launch a massive wave of repression, executions, prison sentences, arrests, and similar measures in order to re-establish its sovereignty in Iran." explains anfenglish.com/features/prof-d… Professor Abbas Vali (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbas_Va…).

A State can be at war against another State or against some domestic groups with Geneva Conventions compliant armed units. States can NOT be at war against abstract concepts like "terrorism", "cubism", a "nuclear programme" (doubly so as even its existence is disputed), "gravity" or "the color chartreuse". It is by the relevant definitions of the words not possible.
@Ciela Well, I was trying to think of concepts from a wide range, but I'm tired so that's what I got. ;-D
Oh yeah. I'm not saying every person in the world must know jus ad bellum and such like they know their own address, or event at all really, but people who do voluntarily strive to and then successfully do take jobs where the defined tasks include literally potentially declaring war (after duly approved) or responding to war having been started... we should absolutely demand they know that extremely firmly.
Israel's airstrike aggression attacks continue into the night in Yazd (video with no audio), as well as at least Alborz, Hamadan, Hashtgerd, Karaj, Kermanshah, Tabriz and Tehran. Probably more too, but those cities were recently mentioned as under attack.
Israel's military claims to be currently attacking "military infrastructure" in area of Kermanshah, W Iran. AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Of course what they define as "military" isn't always what anyone else would call military as you've seen, so who knows what they're bombing. Maybe another hospital.
Another prisoner State-murdered by Iran in apparent retaliation for Trump's attack bringing USA to war for Israel. This time Mohammad Amin Mahdavi Shayesteh, accused of Mossad-related online activities in the form of speech against Iran's military and anti-"Iran" (presumably meaning regime, not people) websites. Such "Mossad"-accusations usually have "confessions" extracted using torture. Was there a Mossad-link? We'll never know. We do know State-murder is the worst, most immoral and destructive, form of murder.

Collective statement from Evin Prison, Tehran, in rough translation, part 1 of 2: ───── Today, Monday, June 23, 2025, Evin Prison was targeted by an airstrike. As a result of the impact from fighter jets attributed to Israel, parts of the administrative buildings, medical facilities, and the judicial office of the prison were severely damaged and destroyed.
Following this attack, a section of Ward 4 collapsed, windows and glass were shattered, and the interior space of the prison was destabilized. Simultaneously, many prisoners, in fear and seeking to save their lives, took refuge on lower floors, which resulted in injuries to several of them.
The prison's medical facilities have been effectively destroyed, and there are no initial resources available to address the condition of the injured inmates. Despite the deteriorating condition of some of the wounded, prison authorities have refused to transfer them to medical centers outside the prison, effectively leaving them without any care.

Update in Reuters article on the ceasefire now says "A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran had agreed to the U.S.-proposed ceasefire". reuters.com/world/middle-east/…
───── Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has responded to reports of a ceasefire with Israel, saying in a post on X.
'As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around. As of now, there is NO “agreement” on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards. The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later.' ───── theguardian.com/world/live/202…
@Ciela It seems to me as if nobody knows what Trump is rambling about. Journalists, officials of either side's regime, etc all seem to mostly agree that the one thing they know is that nobody really knows what Trump's "ceasefire" was supposed to mean in detail or whether it was a thing that existed outside Trump's "very stable genius" mind.
If you're confused as to whether there is a ceasefire between Israel and Iran now as Trump claimed, then don't worry it seems everyone is confused. It seems to me there was no agreement, but Trump says there is one with unclear terms, so some regime officials on both sides of the war claim they're following those terms as of the would-be-deadline regardless of not having actually agreed, while others seem to be continuing as previously.
I had to look up why Evin would even be a target. Turns out it's just because sits isn't just a prison - it also houses administrative offices for the Basij and a special prosecution office. Those were the targets, in an attempt to disrupt the government's ability to forcibly quell any unrest. The prisoners just had the misfortune to be housed right next door, and Israel isn't going to let a little thing like collateral damage or civilian casualties get in the way of their objective.
@Qybat There has been several stated rationales, with the most recent, after the criticism against bombing the prisoners being claimed to help the prisoners, now being similar to what you describe instead. Regardless, the bombing caused much devastation in the prison, impacting the prisoners as seen in later toots in the thread and as always using high-explosives in such areas where they must be considered to be by their nature indiscriminate weapons, is a war crime.
Now "Israel confirms agreement to ceasefire" theguardian.com/world/live/202… May have received pressure from USA to publicly accept the proposal that may have not existed.
‘Israel has agreed to President Trump’s proposal for a bilateral ceasefire’, says statement after almost two weeks of direct military conflict with Iran
Israel's Minister of War said "he has ordered the country's military to respond forcefully to what he said was Iran’s violation of a ceasefire with Israel" reuters.com/world/middle-east/…
In chronological order published: ───── U.S. President Donald Trump told Israel Tuesday, "Do not drop those bombs" on Iran, hours after he had said a ceasefire between the two arch-foes had taken effect.
"ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS," Trump said on his Truth Social platform. "IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!" ───── AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew…
Trump probably knew Israel would breach any declared ceasefire. This gives him cover to back out and wag a finger at Bibi the Butcher and placate his MTG/Proud Boys isolationist nazi wing. On the up side, it may also provide breathing room to fight the military and Magilla Kurilla's urge to murder for money.
@LightFIAR Hmm, I think Trump wanted to come out of this with a diplomatic achievement, to be able to make claims of having achieved peace through ordering USA to bomb Iran, to further the ridiculous claims that "I should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize five times", as well as to get the anti-war GOPers you mention to get back under control. But who knows what that clown wants.
In order published: "Israel says 'refrained' from further strikes on Iran after Trump call" AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… See, the government of USA can stop Israel's wars whenever it wants to. It just almost never wants to.

War-hawk NATO-chief Rutte congratulated Trump on "decisive action in Iran, that was truly extraordinary, and something no one else dared to do" theguardian.com/world/live/202… but the reason it is "extraordinary" and "no one else dared to do" it is because it was an act of war of aggression, crimes against peace, "the supreme international crime", but then NATO has committed huge acts of terrorism against its own member-States' populace, been involved in coups d'état against member-States' governments and Trump is indeed already a convicted felon.
@linuxgnome I... am not entirely sure what that means, but that seems more likely legitimate than getting any Peace Prize as a result of acts which include crimes against peace.
@capnthommo Getting the Nobel Peace Prize has been a minor obsession for Trump since already during the previous term, actively continuing into this term, e.g. not long ago declaring that he should have gotten five Nobel Peace Prizes already.
During and because of Netanyahu's and Trump's war in Iran on pretext of unproven nukes-programme there was a bill proposed for Iran to suspend cooperation with the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the rationale that cooperation still resulted in war of aggression during diplomatic negotiations to restore the anti-nukes agreement which Trump broke at end of first term. The cooperation is according to the proposal to remain suspended and not allow continuing the previously ongoing inspections until there is sufficient security against another attack and peaceful nuclear activities guaranteed. That proposal has now passed the Consultative Assembly, according to the Free Trade Union of Iran.
Now also Reuters reports that "Iran enacts law to suspend cooperation with IAEA" lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… They added the clarification I should have included in my toot, that the proposal of course has to after this also pass the "Supreme National Security Council" which is like a governing working group of the theocracy, the decisions of which must also be approved by the "Supreme Leader" before taking effect, because theocracy.
Another excellent statement, "Political prisoners must be released urgently and unconditionally", was just published by the Free Trade Union of Iran. Here in a rough translation for you:
@Sofie_unlabeled Yes, I saw some unofficial number estimating about 700 such arrests, plus that the legislation is changed to become more harsh and have less checks for false accusations.
Trump compared own bombing of Iran to the nukings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki theguardian.com/world/live/202… which are the world's two individual worst wars ever, for no legit military purpose whatsoever against a Japan that had already lost and had been trying to have its offers of surrender accepted with the only condition that the emperor could not be ousted, but the allies refused and then after the crimes against humanity nukes and unconditional surrender didn't oust the emperor anyway so the refusal to accept the surrender offers was solely for the purpose of committing those atrocities. Are you sure you know that you're talking about, Trump? No, as usual.

Note that cases like this will include torture for forced (invalid) "confessions", as with all uses of torture people will be forced to "confess" to things they have not done just to get the torture to stop, whereby the regime's forces can use this pretext to get rid of other opposition activists and entirely innocent people, especially since Israel's war has also resulted in changes for further harshening the "punishment" in cases like these alongside even further removal of safeguards against harming and even murdering the completely innocent.
Thus, Israel's attack and Netanyahu and Gang's statements during their war falsely legitimized the regime's repression; their actions aided the fellow authoritarian reactionary regime's longterm viability.

@vreer The reason I highlighted as I did was because Netanyahu and gang falsely framed bombing those imprisoned, and sentenced to be killed by the State, for participation in the "Women! Life! Freedom!"-protest wave as if it was somehow in support of those specifically, which is of course absolutely absurd. I believe I covered that earlier in the same thread thread.
Rough translation of a new latter from political "death row" prisoner Warisheh Moradi, sentenced to be murdered by the State Iran for having committed feminism, recently transfered from Evin Prison, Tehran, to Qarchak Prison southeast of Tehran because Warisheh Moradi was among those bombed by Israel in Evin Prison.

Again, as an NGO the HRW can not use stronger terms than "apparent war crime", "possible war crimes", etc, since they are not a law court and therefore can not declare any act to have been a war crime until a court has ruled, so the phrasings must be read and understood to be much stronger than when used in normal speech. They can and do however describe what defines war crimes and they do describe acts committed, leaving it to anyone to note the obvious match of the one with the other.
Of course it was a very clear war crime. The aggressor just does not care, because they trust in having immunity to commit any atrocity, against anyone, anywhere, illegitimately implicitly granted by USA, EU and Russia through UNSC vetoes and other diplomacy and trade acts in support of rampant war crimes.

In the latter case the attacked State does then have a legal right to go to war without it being a war of aggression, crime against peace.
Both Israel and Iran keep claiming fictional rights to "retaliate" or "preempt" as justifications for war, but those do not exist, for any State equally.
Not my opinion or wish. It's the States' system as they have designed it and all States agree to by declaring themselves States, is a part of the UN Charter and similar.

lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew…
Almost true. Israel's bombings were acts of war of aggression, initiating a war without right to war (jus ad bellum), which is not just a violation of international law but also as often quoted from the precedents setting Nuremberg Tribunal "the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole",
but it was not a "declaration" of war, it was launching a war without a declaration, which technically is also a separate (and lesser) violation.
What they may have meant was to say that due to Israel's bombings there is now a de facto and de jure state of war, an international armed conflict, which is true, as technically the moment one bullet (or equivalent or more) crosses from one State's territory into another's those States are in a state of war until they resolve it diplomatically (or remain unaware of it/ignore it away).

Technically, according to the rules for States agreed to by every State by declaring itself a State, that does mean there is or was a state of war between Israel and Iraq too, although it seems probable Iraq won't push the matter very hard more than demanding the UNSC act and then probably letting it go, is my guess.

I was wrong in believing I was wrong.
The drone was from Iran, an Arash.

in reply to Bilal Barakat 🍉 • • •The article 51 of the UN Chartera that they invoked is about "individual or collective self-defence".
I'm pretty sure that if John Doe punches someone and at court says "I did it to respond to being hit" then Doe would get convicted for that, whilst if John doe instead says "I did it do defend myself from the previous attack reasonably being believed to continuing" and proves it to be reasonable then Doe would be acquitted (unless it was excessive).
If they would not have said that it was "responding to" before launching, but instead "defending against" openly announced continuing waves of attack or even just kept quiet, then I would have considered them to probably fulfill the criteria at that point for being able to claim it being self-defense, depending on what they target, etc.

Nukes can never be claimed to be a "deterrent" as it only can "deter" if the would-be deterred actually believes that the nukes would be used and that only actually happens if they actually would. It is a logically impossible claim. Also, see how many wars have existed with nukes powers in them over the decades since those were invented. They do not deter. It is just not a valid claim.

The only plausible way to force an abolition of those vetoes is to have those be abused until it is indisputably clear that it can not be kept, which USA and Russia (primarily) are working on achieving very actively.

It won't do anything to stop the current escalation of course, but hopefully, maybe, possibly, the conflict might be what drastically increases the demand from the UNGA to abolish the UNSC vetoes and permanent memberships, so those can be abolished before the next escalation would have happened.
Along with that I also hope for similar strength in demand for making not only use but also possession of any nukes reinterpreted as a violation of the already existing customary international humanitarian law, on the basis that the possession of such is de facto preparing to commit largest ever war crimes, crimes against humanity, so possession of those can not be allowed, by

Then maybe we can start from there and slowly strip their weapons off of them until they sit there with forks and table knives and the thought of trying to launch wars with that... probably actually would be a deterrent.

That should not be taken as an endorsement from me of that rules system or of the States-based system underlying that. I am still actually an anarchist even though I happen to have read their rules for themselves. Like a medical doctor knowing about diseases isn't an endorsement of everyone getting every disease. ;-D

People leaving, hoping for safety elsewhere.
Israel bombs indiscriminately everywhere internally so safety would only be had if leaving,
but Turkey previously blocked the border previously to please Fascists in EU, strengthening the Iran-regime's grip on power,
while fleeing to Russia likely means fleeing to conscription because EU closed its borders to people fleeing war, genocide, persecution, strengthening the grip on power by the culprits.
So where to go?
Not everyone can go to the mountains, join the freedom guerrilla and become labeled "terrorist" by USA for opposing the Iran-regime which USA wants to keep as a perpetual external threat for the purpose of domestic subjugation.

Notably those who are the most war hawkish are also those whose domestic tendencies are the most like the claimed opponent, including placing their own interpretation of their religion mandatorily over the entire populace (see e.g. Utah, Texas, Florida, etc) by force.

A State can be at war against another State or against some domestic groups with Geneva Conventions compliant armed units.
States can NOT be at war against abstract concepts like "terrorism", "cubism", a "nuclear programme" (doubly so as even its existence is disputed), "gravity" or "the color chartreuse".
It is by the relevant definitions of the words not possible.

Iran said its missile attack on Al Udeid air base in Qatar matched the number of bombs dropped by the United States on Iranian nuclear sites this weekend, signaling Iran’s likely desire to deescalate, AP reports.
Iran made the announcement on Monday night in a statement from its Supreme National Security Council after the attack, which Qatar said caused no injuries.
Iran also said it targeted the base because it was outside of populated areas.

'As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around. As of now, there is NO “agreement” on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards.

Note that cases like this will include torture for forced (invalid) "confessions",
as with all uses of torture people will be forced to "confess" to things they have not done just to get the torture to stop,
whereby the regime's forces can use this pretext to get rid of other opposition activists and entirely innocent people,
especially since Israel's war has also resulted in changes for further harshening the "punishment" in cases like these alongside even further removal of safeguards against harming and even murdering the completely innocent.
Thus, Israel's attack and Netanyahu and Gang's statements during their war falsely legitimized the regime's repression; their actions aided the fellow authoritarian reactionary regime's longterm viability.

is one of the three sibling organizations which brought the antiauthoritarian feminist "Women! Life! Freedom!"-slogan and related opinions to the Iran-held part of Kurdistan, from where it spread to become the main slogan of the latest major uprisings against the theocracy all over Iran.
The other two organizations are the "Free Life Party of Kurdistan" (PJAK, also only in Rojhelat) and the "Democratic and Free Society of Rojhelat" (KODAR).

"During the attack, dissidents and prisoners with dual citizenship were also inside the prison. Among them were Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi and Kurdish women prisoners Pakhshan Azizi and Warisha Moradi.

Israel confirmed that the direct target of the attack was Evin Prison."

As a direct result of the Netanyahu Gang targeting the prison and devastating prison wards, infirmaries, etc the prisoners have been forcibly transferred to other prisons, with among other outcomes resulting in loss of their few remaining personal items, loss of communications, even worse conditions including resumed deprivation of basic medical care for prisoners in life threatening conditions.
According to Iran, 71 people died in Israeli attack on Evin Prison

It is extremely likely that the authoritarian, reactionary, racist, sexist, etc Netanyahu Gang considers it a worst case scenario if the people currently under the Iran-theocracy, a regime with similar ideologies as their own, would through self-liberation achieve a society with equal rights, peaceful coexistence in diversity, secularism, etc as Iran's current regime is an "ideal opponent" so they would only want it replaced with a puppet-regime or someone eternally grateful for being handed power (i.e. e.g. Shah restoration).

This is and was an obvious outcome.
Whether it was within the intent or just culpable incompetence of the Netanyahu Gang and the Trumpists we can't know, but we do know that their actions definitely were crimes against peace, war of aggression and multiple explicitly stated intended war crimes and we do know that those actions drastically decreased the security of every person on earth likely for decades to come.

Historically, whenever the Islamic Republic suffers a setback in international affairs or foreign conflicts, it retaliates by suppressing internal dissent and escalating violence against civil society, especially movements advocating for human rights and democracy. Without strong internal and external pressure, there is a real risk of history repeating itself, as it did in 1988 when thousands of political prisoners were massacred following the ceasefire with Iraq.

All freedom-loving individuals and communities around the world
With global support, this wave of repression can be countered and transformed into momentum for national and Kurdish movements, helping to energize broader protest movements across the country.

"The Israeli military’s deliberate air strikes on Evin prison in Tehran on 23 June 2025 constitute a serious violation of international humanitarian law and must be criminally investigated as war crimes, Amnesty International said today"
For context: "It is believed that Evin prison held around 1,500-2,000 prisoners at the time of the attack, including arbitrarily detained human rights defenders, protesters, political dissidents, members of persecuted religious minorities, and dual and foreign nationals frequently held for diplomatic leverage. At any given time, there were also hundreds of other civilians in the prison complex. The attack took place during prison visitation hours."

Israel bombed e.g. those imprisoned specifically for effectively opposing the Iran-theocracy.

the only solution lies in building a third way:

Again, as an NGO the HRW can not use stronger terms than "apparent war crime", "possible war crimes", etc, since they are not a law court and therefore can not declare any act to have been a war crime until a court has ruled, so the phrasings must be read and understood to be much stronger than when used in normal speech.
They can and do however describe what defines war crimes and they do describe acts committed, leaving it to anyone to note the obvious match of the one with the other.
Of course it was a very clear war crime. The aggressor just does not care, because they trust in having immunity to commit any atrocity, against anyone, anywhere, illegitimately implicitly granted by USA, EU and Russia through UNSC vetoes and other diplomacy and trade acts in support of rampant war crimes.
