Israel Strikes Iran: Iran strikes back spectacularly

Yesterday was a day of glory for the resistance.

This morning, for the first time in history, Zionist squatters on Palestinian land wake up to just a microcosm of what they have done to Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians and Yemenis for decades.  The entity is beginning to burn in the fires of its own making.

Yesterday, commentators noted that the updates in the comment section of our thread, throughout the day, made them happy. For the first time (in my lifetime) we saw a genocidaire attacked, resolutely and with a fine warmaking skill.  There was no alternative and as I support Russia’s SMO in the Ukraine, I support Iran’s fierce defense of themselves against the entity.

Today will be a day of reality setting in. Today is the day of counting the dead and noting the destruction while the war continues. This is not over and in fact, it has only started and has tentacles literally to the world.  I don’t know if this war will remain in the region.  But how spectacularly it started! Our hearts lifted up to see plucky Iran do exactly what they promised.

War is terrible. Yesterday was a strange mix of the sacred and the profane.  For myself I am convinced that there were no more ramps anywhere that could avoid this.

So, for today, we will have this new separate thread, but we will decide according to the conditions developing whether we can move it to our regular war and genocide thread. https://sovereignista.com/2025/06/13/israel-strikes-iran/

Comments will be updated as in the previous thread, perhaps not strike for strike. I received a little advice yesterday, and it read as follows:

We need stamina, patience, and compassion.
Evil is busy destroying everything that is sovereign and capable of resisting, and will get its bid now.

Unfortunately, the empire has placed non-combatants and peace makers like you and me in a position where we are forced to support a war.  This is a flagrant theft of parts of our soul.

Usually, one would do a wrap-up from yesterday.  I won’t do that as the thread and other information were fully complete.  At this very moment, Iran is doing its 5th missile swarm on the entity.  I quote Vanessa Beeley:

The Zionist’s war is an intelligence war, subterfuge, infiltration and brute strength against majority defenceless civilians without significant defence capability.

Iran’s war is one of attrition, patience and longevity – capable of maintaining pressure for prolonged periods and absorbing the hits. Will Trump keep supplying the missiles when they are no longer slaughtering men, women and children in tents or civilians defending their land?

When US missiles are being shot down along with expensive aircraft – what will the US do? Israel cannot manufacture on the scale of Iran. The longer this war continues, the more harm will be done to Israel and to the paper tiger that is US military supremacy – including 4+ layers of US-sponsored air defence that could not stop a few hundred Iranian missiles.

Wait for the 2000 that Iran is saying it will launch as the next stage. NATO weapons were already humiliated in the skirmish between Pakistan and India. Then Yemen humiliated US, costing the war machine $ 1 bn in ‘lost’ aircraft and drones…

Iran shot down and killed Israeli and US Stealth.  This major event has drawn global attention and this war which Israel with the connivance of the US started, will peel the onion of US military supremacy even more.  Our friend Smoothie has a few things to say about Iran’s air defenses and he briefly covered the concept of the salvo model of modern air defense battles.  Years ago I learned that model from him, and it seems Iran is well up to date.

Iran has become the first country in the world to shoot down fifth-generation F-35 stealth fighter jets. These aircraft, considered among the most advanced and expensive warplanes ever built, were being used by the Israeli military in the early Friday morning attack against Iran.  The pilot of one of the F-35’s that was shot down is a woman, and it is said that she is a US citizen.  I cannot confirm that but nevertheless, she was captured after the killing of US Stealth.

The F-35 is said to be one of the most modern fighter jets in the world, almost invisible to radar.  This allows it to enter enemy territory, carry out missions, and leave without being detected.”  Iran detected it, and again, our friend Smoothie had a few things to say on Iran’s anti-ballistic missile skill and the visibility of the technology.

The entity received punishment and is right now receiving punishment.  These images are joyfully shared with the comment: ‘Tel Aviv looks beautiful today.’  I see this, and I think one word only:  GAZA!

The US Navy is crawling closer to shield Israel:

— USS Thomas Hudner (DDG 116) heading to Eastern Mediterranean
— 8 more destroyers already positioned across 5th & 6th Fleets
— USS Carl Vinson CSG remains in CENTCOM
— Nimitz CSG in INDOPACOM may be rerouted if escalation continues

Reports indicate that Iran hit the US embassy in the previous missile salvo.  I don’t believe this as the US embassy is in Jerusalem, and so far, nobody is going to hit Al Quds.  The Israeli media is informationally locked down, and do not take information from there as truth.  This is not an environment of truth, and the US is feverishly busy convincing its citizens that they must intervene.  Additionally, this is the early stages of the Fog of War.

Bear in mind:  The Iranian Army, in a press statement, announces it has no official Telegram channels or any other social media.  Iranian press is also very frothy (high on joy!) so with the issue of seriousness returning, at GlobalSouth we will revert to our usual fact checking methodology.

Finally, this war is a naked regime change operation from the imperial side. They cannot raid Iran of its resources, and now they want to kill them.  Elon Musk has, or is in the process of, unlocking Starlink for Iran, as the expectation is that with Starlink, the Iranians will rise against their government.

Rejoice for a moment as reality is setting in.  The US Ambassador to the entity is milking the sympathy teat, complaining about his ‘rough night’

Iranian Foreign Ministry: ‘Iran will not participate in talks with the U.S. on Sunday. Participating in talks with accomplices of the aggressor is pointless.’

AHH in the Hearty Salon has a wealth of detail:  https://sovereignista.com/globalsouthforum/topic/chronicles-of-the-apocalypse-12-june-2025/#post-59542

Let’s end with the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Sergei Ryabkov:

No matter how much Israel tries to present it now as if irreparable damage and harm has been caused, that the goals have been achieved, and so on, they will end up with a worse security situation than before this action. I don’t want to anticipate anything, but the determination of the Iranian side speaks for itself.
