Israel Strikes Iran (Updates in Comments – AIR DEFENSES FUNCTIONAL ‼️) Operation Severe Punishment has started
Today, June 13
A short message to the resistance:
The SMO and the Israeli genocide on Palestinians has made us experienced and hardened soldiers. We will need those skills now.
What we saw yesterday and ongoing is a lethal threat to you and I, and the whole planet.
Another perpetual war has started and the empire is riding high, for this moment. But be clear, most of the information that we saw yesterday was Israeli information as they were releasing information as their strikes continued.
As the empire stole Russia’s externally held funds, so they have now stolen the last of the innocence of the world because of the deception under the guise of talks with Iran.
Who is Iran fighting?
Israel yes. But they are also fighting and let me quote: “Israel says it is intercepting drones above Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Syria.” “Above Iraq, Israeli planes were getting refueled, by the US and Britain. ” “U.S. fighter jets take off from Al-Udeid airbase in Qatar” “Jordon opened its airspace to Israeli jets.” “American, Israeli and British fighter jets all active above Syria and Iraq to intercept Iranian drones.” Jordanian Armed Forces report that the Royal Jordanian Air Force has intercepted multiple missiles and drones entering Jordanian airspace.”
A comment from Professor Marandi: American bases have been used in Turkiye, Qatar, the UAE, and Bahrain to help the Israelis – and it’s not just the Americans, it’s the British as well.
Iran is fighting the empire.
Anyone who thinks the attack was not coordinated with the U.S. is a complete and utter idiot. Even the German Chancellor Friedrich Merz was informed by Israel ahead of the first attack.
Iran:
We can accept that Iran will not blast out information. “Currently, the combat forces of the army and the IRGC are busy fighting in the sky. The results will be announced to the Iranian nation later.”
Iran did some homework. All of their senior command that was killed yesterday have been replaced. They contacted the UN Security Council for an emergency meeting to condemn Israel’s strikes on nuke sites & officials’ killings. They call the attacks a ‘declaration of war,’ and vows right to self-defense. (War ends, and then the counting starts. This is setup for the long game).
US and Israel coordinated a ‘joint deception’ to mislead Iran ahead of IDF strikes.
Fake nuclear talks were allegedly used to keep Tehran off guard before the assault. Donald Trump is still in the process of doing this. Trump with his inability to hide complicity: “The president says he gave Iran chance to make a deal and warns that the US makes “most lethal military equipment” and Israel has lots of it.”
Israel
Vows to continue. The Home Front Command announced that citizens no longer need to stay near shelters in a false bravado. The Red Flag of revenge has risen in Iran.
Very early projection:
- It is early days and there is as usual much of the fog of war. Here is a serious example: Fars News Agency: Iran has not yet carried out any drone attack so far. *The drones were reportedly fired from Iraq.*
- Iran has not started yet.
- This time Israeli non-combatants and civilians will not escape.
- This may be a long war. It is designed to be perpetual and have a regional spread.
- Iran has depth of military and do not be shaken by the first level of killings of Iranian command.
- Currently it is an air war. There is nothing to say that it will remain as such.
- Expect chaos in the energy markets.
A final comment from Professor Marandi:
In reality, such unprovoked strikes “strengthen Iran, unify the public, and deepen hatred toward the aggressors and their backers,” says the Tehran University Professor.

The initial section was posted at Daily Chronicles. We will continue here. This is not GlobalSouth’s careful curation and source checking. I am reporting from four of the most reliable sites, raw, as it comes in.
Israel has declared a nationwide state of emergency
Continuous explosions in Tehran.
Various sources reporting: Israel is officially attacking Iran
15 interceptions in Tehran, about 3 impacts so far. Sputnik reports air defense is active. More strikes are reported elsewhere
Israel closes its entire airspace to civilian air traffic
Iranian airspace closed, planes are being diverted
This wave is over and has ceased.
Israeli Army Radio, citing a military source:
- Israel carried out its operation in a neighborhood where senior Iranian Revolutionary Guard commanders reside.
- This is Operation Lion Force, targeting Iran’s nuclear program and long-range missiles. Dozens of military targets across Iran have been hit as a first strike.
Israel’s Defense Minister announced that the country has carried out a preemptive strike against Iran and warned that a retaliatory response from Tehran is likely in the near future.
Jerusalem Post, citing Israeli officials: We have detected that Iran is on the verge of achieving a nuclear breakthrough within a few days. (Yeah, remember weapons of mass destruction.)
Israeli Channel 12: The strikes in Iran were carried out in coordination with the United States.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio:
“Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We have no part in the strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting our forces in the region. Israel has informed us that it believes the action was essential for self-defense. President Trump and the administration have taken all necessary steps to protect our forces, and we remain in close contact with our regional partners. Let me be clear: Iran should not harm American interests or personnel.”
A volley of ballistic missiles has been launched from Iran. ???
Netanyahu to Iranian People: The day of your liberation from tyranny is closer than ever. The Goal of the Operation Is to Eliminate Israel’s Existential Threat. Iran still can strike us, and we are prepared for it. I ask our people to cooperate in the days to come.
CNN quoting an Israeli source: We are planning multiple rounds of attacks on Iran. This is not a one-day attack.
U.S. State Department: We Were Aware of Israel’s Strike on Iran and Advise Iran Not to Target U.S. Interests
Israeli media: Reports of explosions in Natanz and Fordow, where uranium enrichment facilities are located
Netanyahu Confirms Strike on Iranian Nuclear Facilities Netanyahu: I Thank President Trump for His Support of Israel
President Trump convenes an emergency meeting at the situation room

There are reports and video that all of the Israeli launches are being carried out from Iraqi airspace. Zionist warplanes are flying over Iraq and Syrian airspace. However, the impacts of Iranian missiles might have hit the two American bases in Iraq, but due to a blackout, reports are not confirmed as of now.
The penny drops for the Iranians: We are at war. Israel is striking nuclear sites, military officials, missile bases, air defenses, and radar sites. This is war.
The US insists they are not involved. Israel insists that the US playing a part. Israeli senior official: As in previous cases, we are coordinating with the US on everything, and we have no doubt that if and when Iran tries to retaliate, this time too we will receive American and international defense assistance.
Columns of smoke rise from the headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards in Tehran.
Unconfirmed reports of the assassination of Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Revolutionary Guards.
Channel 13, citing Israeli military officers: The strike may have achieved better results than expected.
Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir: The Iranian regime will attempt to respond by striking us.
THIS MAY VERY WELL BE HASBARRAH – WAR PROPAGANDA – take with salt
Unverified reports are circulating about the assassinations of several high-ranking Iranian officials:
➡️Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)
➡️General Gholam Ali Rashid, senior IRGC officer
➡️Dr. Fereydoon Abbasi, former head of Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization
➡️Dr. Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi, academic and nuclear scientist
Iranian jets are still airborne (not to be shot at on their runways).
Iran to declare war soon – state media
Imam Khamenei, IRGC Aerospace Commander Brigadier General Amirali Hajizadeh, Chief of Staff of all Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri, and Sardar Ismail Qaani are all confirmed safe.
The high command is operational.
“A U.S. defense official says Israel’s strike is likely to trigger a strong Iranian response — and that Israel will probably request U.S. assistance to counter it.” — Washington Post
And on this note Iran will now saddle up. It looks like they sat back and absorbed the first strikes. I will pick this up after some sleep.
