💬 Iran will unleash its vengeance with no limits – Iranian politician

“The Israeli regime must be punished at the highest level. Netanyahu and his accomplices will be held accountable for their crimes,” Mahmoud Abbaszadeh, former member of Iran’s parliamentary committee on national security, told Sputnik.

Abbaszadeh also noted that despite the US distancing itself from supporting Israel, the recent strike has cast a shadow over indirect Iran-US talks:

“You can’t negotiate with a country while watching the attack on its territory.”

🚨🇺🇸🇮🇱Israel’s strike on Iran has US FINGERPRINTS all over it – analyst

The Israeli strike on Iran almost certainly leaned on American intel and US-supplied weapons, says ex-Italian diplomat and PM Middle East advisor Marco Carnelos.

🔶 Was it meant to sabotage US-Iran nuclear talks – or did Trump greenlight it to boost his bargaining power with Iran? The second sounds more plausible, according to the special envoy for Syria and the Middle East peace process.

🔶 US hawks’ “self-defense” logic is “BASELESS and SCHIZOPHRENIC,” rooted in their dystopian mindset that no one can fix, says Carnelos.

🔶 Iran’s retaliation is reportedly underway – 100 drones en route to Israel, post-lunch, just in time for coffee, he points out.

🇺🇸🇬🇧 US, UK INVOLVED in Israel’s Iran strike – expert 🇮🇷🇮🇱

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, says Seyed Mohammad Marandi, analyst at Tehran University and former 2015 Iran deal negotiator.

The game will change only if the US jumps in directly, Marandi warns. US bases across the Gulf could become targets, fueling chaos in energy markets.

💬 "So the smart thing to do for the United States is to stay is to stay out of this."

⚔️ Netanyahu’s FOREVER WAR Plan

With a worn-out army, collapsing economy, and global reputation in ruins, Netanyahu’s regime is running on fumes.

💬 “It’s almost universally despised – except by Zionists and extremists,” Marandi adds.

🚨 West BUYS ITS OWN LIES, but Israel’s strikes only make Iran stronger – analyst

Israel’s unprovoked strike hit civilian targets in Iran, Tehran University Professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi says.

💬 “The Israeli regime murdered families. They bombed apartment blocks... one with 10 units collapsed completely. Civilian casualties are high,” he said.

In the West, Marandi adds, they believe their own propaganda that these strikes weaken Iran.

💬 “But in reality, they do the opposite. They strengthen Iran, unify the public, and deepen hatred toward the aggressors and their backers.”
