ISAIAH 41:11
11  Behold, all they that were incensed against thee (ISRAEL) shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing;(DESTROYED) and they that strive with thee shall perish.(ISRAEL HATERS WILL BE TOTALLY DESTROYED)

Turban complications-The turban represents the Shi'ite clergy that, ever since its creation in Iran almost four centuries ago, has had an ambivalent attitude towards the exercise of political power. Broadly speaking, turbans come in two contrasting colors. A white turban means that the man who wears it is not a descendant of the Prophet, and thus is of non-Arab origin. In contrast, the wearer of the black turban is marked as a descendant of the Prophet through one of the twelve imams of Twelver Shi'ism.The semiology of turbans is still more complicated. Students of theology are allowed to wear very thin turbans, denoting their position as novices. A hujjat al-Islam, or mid-ranking mullah, can wear a slightly fatter turban. The very fat turbans that require several yards of cloth are reserved for the grand ayatollahs. Rafsanjani’s white turban marked him as someone of non-Arab origin. Khatami and Khamenei both wear black turbans, as did Khomeini, denoting their Arab descent on the paternal side.The experience of the past three decades shows that many of the most senior clerics are not eager to enter the realm of politics. Once in power, however, a man with a thin turban could quickly thicken his headgear and grow a longer beard to bolster the religious aspect of his image. When first elected president, Ayatollah Khamenei was not a particularly senior cleric, but was promoted so that he could succeed Ayatollah Khomeini.

Transcript: President Donald Trump addresses nation after US strikes on Iran-ABC NEWS-Sat, June 21, 2025 at 10:22 p.m. EDT

President Donald Trump addressed the nation after the United States struck three nuclear sites in Iran on Saturday.From the White House, Trump was joined by Vice President JD Vance, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.Read the live transcript of Trump's speech below."A short time ago, the U.S. military carried out massive precision strikes on the three key nuclear facilities in the Iranian regime: Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. Everybody heard those names for years as they built this horribly destructive enterprise. Our objective was the destruction of Iran's nuclear enrichment capacity, and a stop to the nuclear threat posed by the world's No. 1 state sponsor of terror."Tonight, I can report to the world that the strikes were a spectacular military success. Iran's key nuclear enrichment facilities have been completely and totally obliterated."Iran, the bully of the Middle East, must now make peace. If they do not, future attacks will be far greater and a lot easier."For years, Iran has been saying death to America, death to Israel. They have been killing our people, blowing off their arms, blowing off their legs with roadside bombs. That was their specialty. We lost over a thousand people and hundreds of thousands throughout the Middle East and around the world have died as a direct result of their hate."In particular, so many were killed by their general, Qasem Soleimani. I decided a long time ago that I would not let this happen. It will not continue. I want to thank and congratulate Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. We worked as a team. Like perhaps no team has ever worked before. And we've gone a long way to erasing this horrible threat to Israel."I want to thank the Israeli military for the wonderful job they've done. And most importantly, I want to congratulate the great American patriots who flew those magnificent machines tonight and all of the United States military on an operation the likes of which the world has not seen in many, many decades."Hopefully, we will no longer need their services in this capacity. I hope that's so. I also want to congratulate the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan "Raizin'" Cain -- spectacular general -- and all of the brilliant military minds involved in this attack."With all of that being said, this cannot continue. There will be either peace or there will be tragedy for Iran, far greater than we have witnessed over the last eight days. Remember, there are many targets left. Tonight's was the most difficult of them all by far, and perhaps the most lethal. But if peace does not come quickly, we will go after those other targets with precision, speed and skill. Most of them can be taken out in a matter of minutes."There is no military in the world that could have done what we did tonight. Not even close. There has never been a military that could do what took place just a little while ago."Tomorrow, Gen. Caine, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, will have a press conference at 8 a.m. at the Pentagon. And I want to just thank everybody, and in particular, God."I want to just say, we love you, God, and we love our great military. Protect them. God bless the Middle East. God bless Israel, and god bless America. Thank you very much. Thank you."

30 TOMAHAWK MISSLES DESTROYED THE NATANZ AND ISFAHAN SITES. AND 5 OR 6 BUNKER BUSTERS DESTROYED THE FORDOW SITE. THE WORLD IS NOW A SAFER PLACE NOW.

Trump confirms US airstrikes on Iranian nuclear sites-US President Donald Trump confirmed that the US conducted airstrikes on nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan in a Truth Social post on Saturday night.ByJERUSALEM POST STAFF, REUTERS-Updated: JUNE 22, 2025 03:47

The US conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, namely Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan, US President Donald Trump confirmed on Truth Social on Saturday night."All planes are now outside of Iran's airspace. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home," Trump wrote."We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan.  Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have done this," he added."NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!" he concluded.US Air Force B-2 stealth bombers were involved in the strikes, a US official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.Trump then retweeted a social media post by an open-source intelligence analyst claiming that "Fordow is gone."Trump also added that he will give a public address at the White House "regarding our very successful military operation in Iran" at 10 p.m. adding that "This is a historic moment for the United States, Israel and the world.""Iran must now agree to end this war," Trump's post on Truth Social concluded.Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps denied the strikes occurred, stating that "no evidence has been released so far to confirm Trump’s claim," adding "it is possible that his statement is merely a media show."Iranian national television later confirmed that three nuclear facilities have been evacuated.Israeli officials confirmed to KAN that Israel was 'in full coordination' with us on the attack.American B-2 stealth bombers took off from Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri toward a strategic base in Guam in the western Pacific, two US officials confirmed to Reuters on earlier on Saturday. They did not say how many B-2 bombers were being moved.Officials have not yet confirmed whether these were the same B-2 bombers which struck Iran's nuclear facilities.The Mother of All Bombs-B-2 stealth bombers are the only aircraft capable of carrying and deploying the GBU-57A/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator, or MOP, commonly nicknamed The Mother of All Bombs.The GBU-57A/B is a 30,000-pound, precision-guided, bunker-busting bomb designed specifically to destroy hardened and deeply buried targets.It is believed that these bombs are required to fully destroy Iran's nuclear facilities deep underground, particularly in Fordow.Three senior Iranian officials anonymously told the New York Times that they believed the strikes were conducted at around 2.30 a.m. in Iran.Approximately 30 tons of explosives were used during the strike on Fordow, the Times reported.This is a developing story.AMICHAI STEIN contributed to this report.

Israel strikes Iranian naval base in Bandar Abbas's strategic southern port-Bandar Abbas is a key strategic point on the Strait of Hormuz, as the largest port in the region. It also serves as the headquarters of Iran's naval forces.ByJAMES GENN-JUNE 22, 2025 00:58

Israel's military struck storage facilities located at an Iranian naval base in Bandar Abbas, a strategic port on the Persian Gulf, the IDF said on Saturday night.The Israel Air Force was targeting Iranian warships docked at the southern port, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed.Air defenses were activated in the area, Iran's semi-official Tasnim News reported.Explosions were heard in Bandar Abbas's Shahid Rajaee Port, Bandar Lengeh Port, and Shahid Bahonar Pier, according to UK-based dissident outlet Iran International.Bandar Abbas is a key strategic point on the Strait of Hormuz, as the largest port in the region. It also serves as the headquarters of Iran's naval forces.The IAF "continues to systematically target [Iran's] drone command chain," IDF Spokesperson Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin stated earlier on Saturday. "These strikes have disrupted planned barrages and destroyed approximately 950 explosive drones before they could be launched," he added.Part of wider IAF airstrikes across Iran on Saturday-These strikes followed a wave of Iranian drones being launched towards Israel during Friday night and early Saturday morning, triggering alert sirens across Israel's east. The drones used in these attacks were a wave of Shahed 136s, Tasnim reported.Before striking Bandar Abbas on Saturday, the IDF struck three Iranian F-14 fighter jets in central Iran, as well as military infrastructure across the center of the country.This, in turn, followed some 30 Israeli Air Force fighter jets striking dozens of military sites in the area of Ahvaz, in southwestern Iran, earlier on Saturday, the IDF confirmed.Explosions were heard in the Khuzestan province in the area, from Ahvaz to Mahshahr, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-controlled Fars News reported. Smoke was rising in images shared among Iranians on social media, said to be from the area of the recent Israeli strikes.IAF fighter jets struck a site where a storage site containing missile launchers, some of which had previously fired missiles toward Israeli territory, according to the IDF.Explosions were also heard in Marvdasht, Tabriz, Salmas, Babol, Sanandaj, Kermanshah, Qom, and Isfahan, according to Iran International.Is Bandar Abbas port used to smuggle weapons to Iran's Axis of Resistance? At the end of April, Bandar Abbas was the location of a large explosion, which killed at least 60 and injured over 700 people.The blast, on April 26, took place in the Shahid Rajaee section of the port, Iran’s biggest container hub, shattering windows for several kilometers around, tearing metal strips off shipping containers and badly damaging goods inside, state media said.The Shahid Rajaee section was being used as a weapons storage for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force (IRGC-QF)'s Unit 190 to smuggle ballistic missile materiel to the Houthi terrorists in Yemen, Israel's public broadcaster KAN News reported.Israel, however, denied any connection with this explosion.Israel killed IRGC-QF's Unit 190 commander Behnam Shahriyari in a separate strike on Saturday morning.Amichai Stein, Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Maya Gur Arieh, and Reuters contributed to this report.

Israel seeks swift action on Iran, with a split US administration-In a tense phone call, US Vice President JD Vance suggested that Israel was going to drag the US into war, as Israelis reportedly stated they would not wait for a deal to act.ByREUTERS-Updated: JUNE 22, 2025 02:37

Israeli officials have told the Trump administration they do not want to wait two weeks for Iran to reach a deal to dismantle key parts of its nuclear program and Israel could act alone before the deadline is up, two sources said, amid a continuing debate on Trump's team about whether the US should get involved.The two sources familiar with the matter said Israel had communicated their concerns to Trump administration officials on Thursday in what they described as a tense phone call.The Israeli officials said they do not want to wait the two weeks that US President Donald Trump presented on Thursday as a deadline for deciding whether the US will get involved in the Israel-Iran war, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. The Israeli participants on the call included Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Israel Katz, and military chief Eyal Zamir, according to a security source.The Israelis believe they have a limited window of opportunity to move against the deeply buried site at Fordow, the crown jewel of Iran's nuclear program, said the sources. The United States is the only country with the bunker-busting bombs powerful enough to reach the facility, which is dug into the side of a mountain.Reuters reported on Saturday that the United States is moving B-2 bombers to the Pacific island of Guam, reinforcing the possibility that the US could participate directly in an attack. The B-2 can be equipped to carry America's 30,000-pound GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator, designed to destroy targets deep underground, such as the one at Fordow.A person in Washington familiar with the matter said Israel has communicated to the US administration that it believes Trump's window of up to two weeks is too long and that more urgent action is needed. The person did not say whether the Israelis made that point during the high-level call.During the call, which was first reported by The Jerusalem Post's Amichai Stein on Friday, Vice President JD Vance pushed back, saying the United States shouldn't be directly involved and suggesting that the Israelis were going to drag the country into war, said the sources. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also participated in the call, said a security source. Reuters could not determine who else took part in the call.The prospect of a US strike against Iran has exposed divisions in the coalition of supporters that brought Trump to power, with some prominent members of his base urging him not to get the country involved in a new Middle East war.Vance has frequently criticized past US involvement in conflicts, including Iraq and Afghanistan, but has lately defended Trump against Republican critics who urge the administration to stay out of the Iran conflict.Other Republicans, including Trump ally Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, have said they hope Trump will help Israel finish destroying Iran's nuclear program.Trump, who campaigned on a promise to keep the US out of what he called "stupid" foreign wars, has himself seemed conflicted at times about whether to join the Israeli attack on Iran or focus on diplomatic efforts to end Tehran's nuclear program. But his rhetoric in recent days has become increasingly aggressive toward Iran.Iran insists that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes only.The White House declined to comment for this story.The Israeli Prime Minister's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Iran's mission to the United Nations also did not immediately respond.Israeli strike on Fordow increasingly likely-Publicly, Netanyahu has not ruled out Israel attacking Fordow alone, though officials have not provided any details on how that would be achieved.Four sources said it is now increasingly likely that the country will launch a solo military operation. Israeli air superiority over much of Iran makes an operation more feasible, though still risky, said two of the sources.The Israelis feel they have the momentum and have limited time given the costs of the war, one source added."I don't see them waiting much longer," said the source.It is not clear whether such an operation would involve bombing, ground forces, or both. Two of the sources said that rather than attempting to destroy the entire site Israel could instead do significant damage to it.That could mean focusing on destroying what is inside the site rather than the site itself, said one of the sources, declining to elaborate.Some analysts have speculated that Israel could use special forces to enter Fordow and blow it up from inside.Another scenario being considered, according to a source familiar with the matter, would be to drop a series of munitions in rapid succession in an attempt to breach the fortified site, similar to how the Israeli military killed Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah last year.Such a strike could be followed by an incursion by special forces, the source said.It is not clear that Israel has munitions powerful enough to penetrate the fortified facility. It is widely believed that to have a high chance of success, US intervention would be needed.But even with the massive firepower of a joint US-Israeli military action, military and nuclear experts believe that a military operation would probably only temporarily set back a program the West fears is already aimed at producing atom bombs one day, although Iran denies it.

Top Gun over Tehran: An IAF fighter pilot shares his journey on the way to Iran-Deep in Iran - D., a cool-headed fighter pilot, gives a rare account of the strike that stunned Iran and the world. “We’re hitting the missiles heading our way before they’re launched.”ByAMIR BOHBOT-JUNE 20, 2025 11:34

Captain D., 25, an F-16 pilot, completed flight school two and a half years ago. Against all odds, he participated in the first wave of airstrikes that shocked all of Iran, in a coordinated mission using hundreds of aircraft of various types.D.: “In the first strike, we hit all sorts of targets. Different types - I can’t go into detail.”
Did you target air defense systems, command centers, senior figures, weapons systems? What did you hit? D.: “I didn’t hit any individuals…”Was this the longest flight you’ve ever done? D.: “Yes.”What do you do during the long flight — 1,500 km from Israel? D.: “Mainly focus. I re-brief myself, speak with the navigator, analyze scenarios and responses, think through how the strike will look at the end point, run simulations in my head.”And on the way back? D.: “Focus on landing safely (laughs…)”What do you say to each other in the cockpit after the strikes, on the way home? D.: “There’s a little joke between us in the cockpit - there’s a moment to talk about the crazy thing we just did. We’re up there over enemy territory, above their heads, flying through their airspace, hitting them, influencing things in their area - not over our home.”What about threats on the way to the target, in Iranian airspace? D.: “When you’re that far from home, it’s complex - you need to keep that in mind. This is the most threatening area I’ve ever operated in. I’m always prepared.”A long flight, hundreds of refuelings. How long can you sustain this operational tempo - flying to Iran, striking, and returning? D.: “Look, people here are eager to go, to make an impact, to strike. I feel we’ll continue as long as needed. There’s stamina. Also from the support we get back home - from the public, from the home front that has our backs, and all the love the IAF is receiving right now for all the work being done.”Did you feel threatened while you were there? D.: “No. I didn’t experience any real sense of threat - not because I wasn’t prepared for it.”How do you describe the Air Force’s achievements? D.: “I saw us hitting those who threaten Israel. We’re taking out missiles before they’re launched and in the air, we’re downing drones heading toward us. And beyond that, we’re flying over enemy land, above their heads, operating in their skies, hitting them in their arena - not ours.”When did it sink in — what you’d done? The significance of that first strike over Iran? D.: “When it came out in the media, who was eliminated, what was destroyed, and what were the other significant achievements. When it was published that we struck launchers and missiles. We’re defending the Israeli home front, and in order to keep doing that, we’re also targeting anti-aircraft batteries - so that we can maintain air superiority, keep flying there, and carry out our missions.”Right before you flew to Iran, a ground crew arrived, ‘signed off’ on the plane, and cleared it for takeoff. D.: “The feeling is one of total confidence. Everyone’s in it together — on the same mission.”What was the most emotional moment in that first strike on Iran? D.: “There are two. The big one is after landing - when I see the coverage of the event’s scale, and I realize what I took part in, that I was in a historic operation. It’s a powerful, really wild feeling. The second is right after the strike - once it’s over, everything went well, and we’re already westbound, headed home to Israel.You breathe easily and say, ‘Nice. We did it. I did my part in this mission."What do you do right after landing? D.: “Routine. You go see what the results of your strike were - there’s always some debate about what’s next. I go check if my name is on the board for the next round - and then I go to sleep.”

NUKEWARS-Trump says US carried out 'very successful attack' on three Iran nuclear site by AFP Staff Writers.

Washington (AFP) June 22, 2025-President Donald Trump said Saturday the US military has carried out a "very successful attack" on three Iranian nuclear sites, including the underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo."We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform."A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow."Trump added that "all planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors."Trump's announcement came just two days after he said he would decide "within two weeks" whether to join key ally Israel in attacking Iran.Earlier on Saturday there were reports that US B-2 bombers -- which carry so-called "bunker buster" bombs -- were headed out of the United States.Trump did not say what kind of US planes or munitions were involved.Tehran had threatened reprisals on US forces in the Middle East if Trump attacked but the US president called for "peace.""There is not another military in the World that could have done this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!" he said.

Japan-US-Philippines coast guards simulate crisis amid China threat.

On board the Asanagi, Japan, June 21 (AFP) Jun 21, 2025-Helicopters buzzed in the shadow of a smouldering volcano and boats rescued dummies from the sea this week in a show of maritime unity by Japan, the United States and the Philippines.The joint coast guard exercises held off Japan's southwest shore follow a warning from the three countries about Chinese activity in disputed regional waters.Tensions between China and other claimants to parts of the East and South China Seas have pushed Japan to deepen ties with the Philippines and the United States.This week marked the second time the countries' coast guards have held training drills together, and the first in Japan.They took place over five days off the coast of Kagoshima, where Sakurajima volcano dominates the skyline, quietly puffing out smoke and ash.Dozens of personnel took part, with Friday's final exercises featuring one vessel from each of the three countries' coast guards.They included the BRP Teresa Magbanua, which was provided to the Philippines by Japan through a loan agreement.The 2,265-ton vessel, named after a schoolteacher and revolutionary, usually monitors Chinese boats in the South China Sea.China and the Philippines have engaged in months of confrontations in the contested waters, which Beijing claims almost entirely, despite an international ruling that the assertion has no legal basis.Chinese and Japanese patrol vessels in the East China Sea also routinely face off around disputed islands.On Friday, Manila accused China of using a water cannon on two of its fisheries department boats as they attempted to resupply Philippine fishermen near the disputed Scarborough Shoal.- Man overboard! -The US Coast Guard was represented in the exercises by the cutter Stratton, which can carry up to 170 personnel, and Japan by the 6,000-ton Asanagi.Friday's drills began with a simulation of a person falling overboard.Once the dummy, wearing a bright red lifejacket, was in the water, a US drone was launched from the Stratton, circling high above as it scanned the area.A small Philippine rescue boat then emerged from the Teresa Magbanua, zipping across the water before coast guard personnel fished the dummy out of the water.Other rescue scenarios enacted included a Japanese helicopter racing from shore to pull a human subject from the sea.The helicopter's rotor blades whipped up the calm blue waters, where the occasional small hammerhead shark could be seen idly swimming alongside the Asanagi.The exercises concluded with a simulated collision and fire, with all three coast guards blasting the stricken vessel with their water cannons.- Trust-building -Japan Coast Guard official Naofumi Tsumura said the joint exercises had "built mutual understanding and trust"."More than anything, we have strengthened coordination and cooperation between us," he said.In 2024, the three countries issued a joint statement that included strong language aimed at Beijing."We express our serious concerns about the People's Republic of China's (PRC) dangerous and aggressive behavior in the South China Sea," it said, describing "dangerous and coercive use of Coast Guard and maritime militia vessels".They also expressed "strong opposition to any attempts by the PRC to unilaterally change the status quo by force or coercion in the East China Sea".This week's joint exercises were the first since the statement was released.Tsumura said there were small details that could have worked better and vowed to improve in future collaborations.He said the three countries' coast guards had "come to understand each other better, or as the Japanese often say, to know each other by face"."I believe we are now able to conduct maritime rescue operations more effectively," he said.

COGAT says it facilitated entry of 430 aid trucks into Gaza this week; UN says 600 needed daily By Jacob Magid
Israel facilitated the entry of 430 trucks of humanitarian aid into Gaza this past week, the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories says.The aid included food, flour and medical equipment and was transferred to the northern Gaza Strip via the Zikim Crossing and to the southern Gaza Strip through the Kerem Shalom Crossing, COGAT says.The weekly figure is below the 600 figure that the UN says is needed every day in order to meet the basic needs of Gazans.Israel says the UN is failing to pick up much of the aid that has been transferred into the Strip, but the UN says that is because the IDF doesn’t grant its staff safe passage.The low levels of aid have been highlighted by the desperate scenes of Gazans overrunning sites belonging to the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation along with routes used by the UN to transfer its aid.There have been near-daily reported deadly shootings of Palestinians seeking to pick up aid, with the IDF admitting to opening fire at those who strayed off authorized roads or used them at unauthorized times.GHF said earlier Saturday that it distributed 22,000 boxes of food at three sites today, which was almost a third lower than the amount handed out in recent days.“Today’s reduced distribution numbers reflect supply chain disruptions due to the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict and the observance of Shabbat, which renders the Kerem Shalom crossing inaccessible,” GHF said in a statement.Over a month ago, GHF said it had secured a commitment from Israel to allow it to open a distribution site in northern Gaza, but there has yet to be any follow-through.

Saudi Arabia denounces ‘blatant Israeli aggressions’ against Iran By AP
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal bin Farhan has condemned “blatant Israeli aggressions against the Islamic Republic of Iran, which undermine its sovereignty and security, constitute a clear violation of international laws and norms, and threaten the security and stability of the region,” the state-run Saudi Press Agency reports.Speaking at a meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Istanbul, he calls for “the immediate cessation of military operations, the avoidance of escalation, and a return to the negotiation track between Iran and the international community.”Iran and Saudi Arabia were long regional arch-rivals but have normalized relations in recent years. Riyadh was quick to side publicly with Tehran after Israel launched a surprise barrage of strikes on Iran last week.Bin Farhan also reiterates Saudi Arabia’s support for a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict. The kingdom and France had been set to co-chair a conference in New York this month on the topic, which was postponed due to the outbreak of the Israel-Iran war.
