📸 Initial claim: Reports now of major strikes by the Israeli Air Force against the Fajr Jam Natural Gas Refinery in the Bushehr Province of Southern Iran.

Fabian Hanz on X:

Israel has shattered so many conventional wisdoms rooted in outdated experiences from Iraq (feasibility of decapitation, TEL-hunting, effective missile defense) that I am very reluctant to accept the conventional wisdom of 'it's only going to roll back the nuclear program a bit.'

✍ I agree with him that Israel achieved in all aspects magnitudes better than what Americans did, and this has achieved a great advantage for them vs their enemy

But it's too late to assume Israel has defeated Iran's ballistic array and destroyed the Iranian nuc program forever

📹 Media: The IDF publishes a video showing an airstrike on Iranian military members who launched a ballistic missile at Israel this morning from western Iran.

The clip also shows a strike on the ballistic missile launcher.

A second video published by the IDF shows another strike on a truck-mounted ballistic missile launcher.

✍ This is something we never imagined should have been possible any day.

❗️IDF announcement:

All gatherings are prohibited, and schools will not open. Workplaces are also closed, apart from those deemed critical.

The guidelines remain in effect until Sunday night, when the Home Front Command will conduct another assessment.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇮🇱/🇬🇧 BREAKING: The Iranian Navy announces that it forced a British destroyer to change course in the Gulf of Oman yesterday evening

The British vessel was about to enter the Persian Gulf to provide intelligence data to guide Israeli missiles. An Iranian drone issued warnings to change course or be struck; the ship then turned around.

The Israeli Air Force bombed an underground weapons facility in western Iran today, IDF Spokesman Brig. Gen. Effie Defrin reveals in a press conference.

According to the IDF, the site was used by Iran to store dozens of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as launch them. IAF fighter jets struck the underground site along with launchers.

These drones have a range of 200 kilometers, and are likely launched from inside Iran and from Azerbaijan.

@Middle_East_Spectator

Earlier today, in some locations, collaborators burnt tires to make it look like an airstrike, to incite fear in the population.

Crashed Arash-2 reportedly found in southern Tehran

Not Israeli

—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷/🇦🇿 NEW: Iranian air defenses active against Harop drones in Jolfa, on the Azerbaijani border.

As expected from these traitorous bastards. Why else would Israel heavily invest in their support. They had to cash in, and it's on such events

@Middle_East_Spectator

Ending the war now, ends it with a complete Israeli victory

If Iran is able to withstand more, and turn the tide, and then get Israel begging for an end and a ceasefire without a deal like Lebanon or a UN decree then that's great.

You'll know Israel is in a tight spot once the West tries to negotiate a ceasefire with Iran, like they begged Hezbullah in 2006 and 2024

While Trump is claiming the war to end, Israeli officials are saying there is a significant likelihood that the U.S. will join.

It's deception... it's a lie by Trump

Israeli media is also taunting some sort of a wave of attacks tonight in Iran.
