Israel renewed strikes on Iran on June 13 afternoon, hitting a large missile base, multiple air bases and several other targets.
The strikes were a continuation of the large-scale attack, codenamed “Operation Rising Lion,” that Israel launched in the early morning with the aim of destroying Iran’s nuclear program. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) led the attack, with support from the Mossad spy agency.
“At this hour, the IDF is continuing the attack plan, [to achieve] the goals of the operation, alongside strong defense of Israel,” military Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin said at a press conference, adding that “the operation is only beginning.”
In a later statement, the IDF announced that it had completed a series of strikes targeting Iran’s “surface-to-surface missile infrastructure.”
According to the military, the strikes destroyed dozens of missile launchers, storage facilities and additional military sites in recent hours, including a concealed launch system hidden inside shipping containers in western Iran.
The operation was based on precise intelligence and aimed at neutralizing a major threat, the military said, warning that Iran’s missile arsenal includes weapons with ranges of thousands of kilometers, posing a danger “to the region and the entire world.”
Videos posted to social networks showed large blasts at an area near the city of Tabriz, the capital city of East Azerbaijan province, where a large missile base is located. Other videos showed a massive fire at the city’s airport, home to the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force (IRIAF) 22 Tactical Fighter Squadron, which operates MiG-29 fighter jets. Air defense systems are also reported to be deployed there.
Strikes also hit the airport near the provincial capital of Hamadan, where the IRIAF’s 31 Tactical Fighter Squadron wants to deployed Su-35 fighter jets reportedly purchased from Russia.
A large fire was also seen in footage from the coast of the province of Bushehr, although it is not clear yet if any naval facilities there were targeted.
In the morning, the Natanz uranium enrichment facility was hit, with the IDF reporting extensive damage there. Most of the air defenses in Iran’s western and central region were allegedly wiped out by the Israeli Air Force and commandos deployed by the Mossad.
On top of all of that, senior commanders, including the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and nuclear scientists were assassinated.
At least 20 senior Iranian commanders, including Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh, were killed.
Among the senior officials killed were the commanders of the IRGC’s drone unit and air defense unit, according to a statement by the IDF, which said that the officials who led the 2019 drone attack on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia were also killed.
“Hajizadeh publicly pledged allegiance to the idea of destroying Israel on multiple occasions in recent years and played a central role in formulating the plan to destroy Israel,” the military added.
Amid the latest strikes, United States President Donald Trump said that the Israeli attack on Iran was “excellent” and warned there is much more to come.
“I think it’s been excellent. We gave them a chance and they didn’t take it. They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you’re going to get hit. And there’s more to come. A lot more,” Trump said in a phone interview with ABC News.
ABC News reported that when the U.S. president was asked whether there was American participation in the strikes, he said: “I don’t want to comment on that.”
Iran, which vowed to response harshly, has already launched more than a hundred suicide drone at Israel. All of the drones were, however, intercepted before reaching Israel, according to the IDF. A more serious response is expected, although Iran, again, appears to be hesitating.

“this was very closely coordinated in order to give israel the opportunity for maximum surprise to achieve maximum damage. while america may not have sent resources or assets to participate in this attack, this attack was closely coordinated with the united states, done with the knowledge of the united states, done with the support of the united states. this, by any definition of the word, was a joint us-israeli attack on iran,” ritter said.
ritter also said:
“it’s not that we will find ourselves at war with iran. we are at war with iran. we may not know it yet. but as i said, the iranians are fully cognizant of what happened. now, the iranians will find out how effective the israeli decapitation was, how effective the israeli preemption was. this was a strike that apparently incorporated significant drone capacity that was existing inside iran.”
even ritter admits this is a bull blown act of war, yet iranian leadership still makes childish speeches without making a proper declaration of war to prepare and mobilize their country. they are stupid! and israel will continue to strike them and america will 100% join their war. it is already happening. there is no “measured response” that will prevent this — to the contrary— measured response will give israel more confidence and undermine iranian morale.
i think that iran like hezbollah will be exposed as another paper tiger, unfortunately.
so will everyone else…depopulation is the goal.
your comment is not wearing very well, is it? so far more than 300 ballistic missiles (hypersonic and otherwise) doing significant damage to tel aviv and several military installations in israel.
when russia hide in the bushes. or at least in europe. this will be a nice multipolar world. its your child, you really should look at “excalibur”.
traitorous khazarian russia has betrayed syria, iran and gaza.now netanyahu’s minions will dig up the dead shah and soraya or clone shapour bakhtiar.
all this wouldn’t be even remote possible without traitors in iran. traitors at the top position of government and military.
as they say: big satan and small satan are working hand in hand!
memo from donald rumsfeld in 2001(post 9/11) : “we’re going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with iraq, and then syria, lebanon, libya, somalia, sudan and, finishing off, iran.” they are a little late, but bibi is doing exactly what rumsfeld instructed him to do over twenty years ago – after netanyahu had obligingly carried out the twin towers incident for him.
primarily with “negotiations”. its like nobody have heard about what “negotiations” was used for in the genocide of 200 peoples on the north american continent.
all the bombs and tech izrahell uses are all american, those cave dwellers would not have planes or nukes, this is americas bast4rds child being bratty and spoiled again seeking more bl00d.
when will the resistant block realize that restraining their response to overt actions of war only escalate the situation?
“operation rising lion” needs to be met with “operation lion slayer” anything short of that will invite further demoralizing and destruction upon its lands.
escalate it to what? are the jewish supremacists going to invade iran? are their us hosts going to invade russia? please. this is the kind of pathetic show the us empire has devolved to since they lost in korea seventy-five years ago.
i think iran’s big mistake over the years was to allow iaea inspectors into the country. they are just spies for zionist intelligence agencies, supplying detailed information for bomb attacks on installations and identifying scientists and officials for assassination. iran should have kicked them out and withdrawn from the npt, like north korea. such penetration would be impossible in n. korea. iranian security was seriously compromised, to the extent of being virtually non existent.
they thought they were playing chess with an enemy hellbent on their destruction. and russia should have never cared that iran was sanctioned/ embargoed — since russia itself was subject to the same aggression and war posture by the west.
nuclear installations have been attacked on numerous occasions, many scientists and officials have been murdered. drone bases were set up right outside tehran. the iranian president may well have been murdered. however current events develop, iran needs to prioritise security, kick out the iaea and withdraw from the npt, refuse to engage in any negotiations with the jewsa (they will never lift sanctions anyway), and go down the n. korean route.
but the maga crowd and fanboys will still try to delude themselves that chumpo really wanted to avoid the foreign wars that all presidents have waged. the jewsa has not been at peace for a single day in the 21st century. that’s all you need to know.
the nazi “us” worship adolf hitler rothschild as some kind of peacemaker. do not let them anywhere near your country ! its like allow a rabies infected schizofren dog into them.
indeed even this channel regularly does this portraying trump as some sort “populist” fighting a “deep state” all this is a farce
pedophile thief and friend of epstein, who was jewish and a pedophile.trump is the real mabus, not prince mbs. he is not the real mabus, he is just a regular israeli puppet who destroyed assad and now he will destroy iran and turkey.
all drumpf supporters are retards. it really is that simple. the idea that a failed trust-fund real estate hustler-turned-reality television personality was going to turn things around for the masses was beyond stupid. it was the kind of magical thinking one would expect from non-literate neolithic farmers.
happy pearl harbor day. where everyone can attack anyone else for any reason, or no reason at all. or pretend reasons: it doesn’t matter as you lie with a straight face.
extreme anuspenetration of iran!!!
heheheh
when putler betrayed syria, iran was doomed to destruction.
today is iran: russia is next, they’re finalizing it in sweden today. either move first or russia will disappear and their president along with it. you have been warned: this is the thinking in the west. same exact method used in iran as against russia ten days ago. russia can stop it, and save the world from these monsters, or it will be destroyed.
in russia, it only accelerate the killing of neo-nazis and darwins mercenaries. so long, so good. europe should kill the fascistic regimes, which have einschluss them to the genocide organization nato, after mass murdering in the hospitals. its the working slave cast, possible to use for anything, it only follows orders.
russia is heavily infested by khazars because khazaria empire was on today southern ukraine and southern russia. so bet on russia is lost game. palestinians are real semites, khazars are fake semites
so the attack against russia has brought about the disappearance of russia? thanks for derping shitcock.
bye bye iri
è finita. è stato facile ma hanno umiliato il popolo iraniano bastava ripristinare l’accordo da cui usci’ trump, questo è grave è quello che è stato fatto alla cina,russia e palestinesi umiliazione dei popoli e sappiamo tutti che chi semina vento raccoglie tempesta.
israel is almost finished destroying the “axis of resistance”…iran is humiliated and powerless to respond… heheheh
you’re really big on these “feelings”, aren’t you? iran is humiliated because the nuclear-armed jewish supremacist chain-dog of the us empire attacked them? what are you, a fourteen-year-old girl?
looks like there’s a big kikehunt going on all over occupied palestine right now. pity ben gurion is closed down – thousands of shlomos would be bugging out, taking the samsonite option.
this saddens me i hope iran recovers and regroup quickly and retaliate properly.
awesome! the barbecuing continues 😀
especially in tel aviv. don’t you just love the smell of barbecued shlomo in the morning.
free the persians from the evil mullahs 😀
yes, the jewish supremacist killers are all about freeing people. good work, shitcock.
just remember…zionism is a satanic death cult. they play the victim. and they cry out in pain, as they stab you. this experiment stands for …bringing us back 1000s years into the mentality of the jew
iran is finished. it’s over.
yes, israel is managing to intercept 100 percent of the iranian missiles with their buildings…..
we have seen the same scenario againts houttis and they failed to deter houttis attracks
while this is true, the houthis are sort of a side-show.
israel’s problem is a lot more than some bases, or any particular individual. their problem is themselves, as they are constantly at war and can’t settle down
why would have to? with the (((americans))) backing them they are unstoppable.
while the usa sent several patriot batteries and dozens of plane loads of bombs in the previous months they will say this is all a coincidence and they did not help plan or approve of this and many will believe.
do people realize, even sf is just regurgitating israel propaganda.
because admin of sf is of khazaria origin
it’s because no one but israel has released any information yet.
hopefully putin learns one thing, copy the j3ws on how to destroy the leadership of a nation, one giant strike and remove the head from the body and the rest is easy pickings. zelensky still running around and putin still clowning.
this is what i was thinking.
this has usa hand all over this, j3ws are just doing their bidding like ukies in europe … lets not forget usa forced saddam to attack iran back in the day … looks at the trumps team, they all kiss the ass of zionism
presstv is blocking all my comments lol. anyways iran is a big fat coward! 100% proven no bullshit. remember the so called “red lines in palastine” because of these retards palestine is destroyed. big fucking mouth but zero action. iran will retaliate with 80’s technology and hit empty areas like usual. no damage no casualties. fucking cowards i tell you. remember the true promise projects? just analyze it and you will see they are fakes and probably working with the us.
shitcock, palestine is destroyed because the jewish supremacists backed by the most powerful empire in human history decided to destroy it.
iran,hamas,hizbollah,houthis and all iran proxies should launch joint attack on usa bases,ships,israel,navy and military sites.to inflict irreversible damage
remember those fireworks shows that iran did ???
that plus the failure in syria along with tag game russia is playing in ukraine emboldened aggression the us clearly sucker punched both russia and iran in less that 10 days
and we almost assassinated putin in a drone strike as we were having talks in istanbul.
and the russia government is still in power, and the russian state has not been broken up along ethnic and religious lines. ‘member?
there is atraitor withing like mko and shah puppet inside iran who is coopertaing with zionist . this fire worshipper shah and his mko thugs want to make iranian a slave of west.
i dont trust in iran talk anymore they have proved themselves weak now and they cant do anything . i thought iran was strong enough to tech us and uk a lesson but . look like khamieni has to retiere now he just talk and talk.
if you thought that, then clearly you are a stupid cretin.
