- Netanyahu’s Justification: Framed the attack as preemptive against an “existential threat” .
Potential Consequences
- Regional War Risk: Fears of broader conflict involving Hezbollah, Houthis, and U.S. forces .
- Oil Prices: Spiked 8% but may stabilize if escalation is contained .

Keir Starmer has spoken to President Macron & Chancellor Merz.. the leaders discussed the long held grave concerns about Irans nuclear program.. the leaders reaffirmed Israels right to self defence” Its been clear throughout that there’s no red line for Israel.
@mehdirhasan Trump wants you to believe that this is about Iran signing a nuclear deal – one he tore up in 2018! – but Israel just killed Iran’s lead nuclear negotiator who was telling US television just two weeks ago that Iran was open to a deal.
BREAKING: As global focus shifts to Israel’s strikes on Iran, the Israeli army is escalating its assault on Gaza. Today, Halawa Camp the largest and last shelter in Jabalia, northern Gaza was forcibly evacuated under intense bombing. Displaced families fled in terror, with nowhere left to go. Gaza remains under a total internet blackout.
@angeloinchina Nuclear scientists Mohammad Mehdi Tehrani and Fereydoun Abbasi were assassinated by Israel in the continuous attacks on Iran.
@MaxBlumenthal Just days after Iran accused the IAEA of furnishing the identities of high level nuclear scientists to Israeli intelligence, and after leaking documents showing secret coordination between Israeli officials and IAEA director general Raphael Grossi, more assassinations
@AbbyMartin Israel has assassinated scientists in Iran for years while media justified it by lying about Iran’s nuclear program. US-Israel are the nuclear-armed aggressors trying to provoke war. Iran has the right to defend itself, but has shown enormous restraint so far. Whatever horrors ensue, the United States is to blame for holding the world hostage and plunging us into the abyss
·Israel attacks Iran. Germany: “we strongly condemn the indiscriminate Iranian attack on Israeli territory. Israel has the right to defend itself” WHAT?!!!
BREAKING: As the world watches the Israel-Iran exchange, Israeli warships open fire on Gaza’s shores, injuring displaced families sheltering in tents by the sea. For the fourth day, Gaza is under total internet blackout and under nonstop bombardment, unseen and unheard.
This May, @MaxBlumenthal
surveyed the ballistic missiles, reverse-engineered drones and air defense systems on display during Iran’s retaliation today against Israel’s unprovoked attack Watch his full report from inside the IRGC’s Aerospace Park in Tehran
Richard Dalton, ex British ambassador to Iran, is asked if Israels attacks make it more likely Iran will develop nuclear weapons “Yes.. when a country has been exposed to an illegal aggression.. it is not prone to surrender, it is prone to develop additional means of deterrence”
·Does this look like a nuclear facility to you?
·Every time Israelis post stuff like this, they’re tacitly admitting that the entirety of the Gaza destruction was planned and deliberate.

·CONFIRMED: Iranian missiles flew directly into jewish homes in Tel Aviv. Many jews are describing this as “barbaric,” “inhumane,” etc. We get it. Jews are upset. But listen, it’s called war. In war, accidents sometimes happen. We should wait until all of the details come out before jumping to conclusions. Calling it “barbaric” is just vile Persian-Hatred. For all we know, jews were using those homes to hide weapons. If so, the structures may have been legitimate military targets. We simply won’t know until Persian authorities enter the area to conduct an investigation.
‘This is an illegal aggression.’ The former ambassador to Iran, Richard Dalton, claims Israel’s strikes on the country are ‘in breach of every legal requirement for a pre-emptive attack’.
@ShaykhSulaiman JUST IN: UK HELPED ISRAEL WITH ATTACK ON IRAN Russia informs the UN Security Council that there was “likely coordination between Israel and British special services” in the attacks on Iran “Immediately after the Israeli strikes, they sheltered the Israeli aviation which participated in the strikes in their bases in Cyprus.”
CNN: Are you saying that Israel killed the people you were negotiating with?”
TRUMP: Well, they definitely didn’t die from the flu or the coronavirus. The people I dealt with are dead.
“Iran doesn’t have nukes. Israel does. Iran is a signatory to the NPT. Israel isn’t. Iran has allowed IAEA inspectors into its country. Israel doesn’t.” But Israel’s the victim? My video for Zeteo on how the media’s coverage of this crisis is abysmally biased.
@emilykschrader Car bombs exploding across Tehran as targeted assassinations against regime officials continue.
@AlanRMacLeod responding:
·It is truly extraordinary how Israelis will just openly admit they’re carrying out international terrorism as if it is nothing.
explains that Iran wanted to make deal with the US & its delegation was feeling optimistic over the next round of talks. Note, one of Israels frst targets when they launched their unprovoked attack on Iran was the head of the Iranian delegation
The Parliament of Iran’s Jewish MP, Homayoun Sameh, said he supports Iran’s right to legitimate self-defense against Israel, urging throughout the past two years that Iran must have a “strong response to Israeli aggression.”
Without Lies, israel Dies… ANA KASPARIAN “You are a liar. We’re not going to go to war on your behalf. Sorry, Move on!”
Watch this.. Pakistan next! The zionists are liars. Their target is not only Iran. It is Pakistan, Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, etc..
He’s a moving target Prof Marandi has been advised to get rid of his phone because he is an Israeli target. He hasn’t. He’s moved out of his apartment to protect others in the building from being killed in missile hit Follow #MOATS 456 #Israel #ProfSyedMarandi
·It’s likely that Congress will soon pass a resolution supporting regime change in Iran which was prepared for them well in advance by the foreign apartheid lobby known as AIPAC
Most of Iran’s Victims from Israel’s Attacks have been Civilians No Surprise: A LOT of Children Too Here are the names and faces of some of the over 220 kiled
@AlanRMacLeod
·This is what we call manufacturing consent. Despite Israel launching a decades-long planned attack on Tehran, @dwnews
presents Iran as the aggressor, “escalating” the violence.
@AlanRMacLeod This is some of the most tired, low-energy war propaganda I’ve ever seen. Even the Bush administration sold it better than this.
Warmonger Lindsey Graham has just called for regime change in Iran, wants Trump to go all in. This man has never seen combat and is a complete disgrace to this nation.
Told @IsaCNN that there was no need for pressure to get the Iranians to negotiate. The Iranians were at the negotiating table. Talks were scheduled for Saturday. The problem is that the Israelis blew up the negotiating table.
·We’re supposed to go to war for Israel, which has nuclear weapons and pretends it doesn’t, against Iran, which doesn’t have nuclear weapons but Israel pretends it does. Enough Zionist lies. Stop the war, @realDonaldTrump!
@21WIRE Wow. Crazed religious Zealots in Trump govt like fundamentalist Zionist @GovMikeHuckabee
in Israel now say God is speaking to them, telling them to destroy Iran. Pray our military leaders DO NOT follow the orders of our fanatical officials. Frightening…
Why is Trump about to imminently go to war with Iran for Israel? Col. Lawrence Wilkerson told us last week that he watched MOSSAD TAKE OVER THE PENTAGON in 2002: ‘The Pentagon was infiltrated by Mossad. They did not need any identification to get through the river entrance to the building. They went upstairs to Douglas Feith, the Undersecretary of Defence for Policy, the third most powerful man in the Defence Department. Occasionally they went to the second most powerful man, Paul Wolfowitz, the Deputy Secretary of Defence, and they had run of the Pentagon. Donald Rumsfeld, the Secretary of Defence, said to my boss one time ‘Hell, I don’t run my building, Mossad does!’’
