🇮🇷🇮🇱KEY UPDATES ON THE IRAN-ISRAEL CONFLICT
As the conflict between Israel and Iran rages for a sixth straight day, here is what’s happened as of June 18:
🟠 More than 50 Israeli Air Force planes carried out an attack targeting an alleged “centrifuge production site” and “several weapons productions sites” in Iran, the Israeli military said.
🟠 Warplanes also attacked manufacturing plants involved in the production “of raw materials and components” for assembling surface-to-surface and surface-to-air missiles, per the IDF.
🟠 Israel struck Imam Hussein University in Tehran, with local media reporting active air defense in the Iranian capital.
🟠 The IDF issued an evacuation notice for residents of Tehran’s 18th district, followed by explosions in Iran’s capital.
🟠 As Tel Aviv repelled another wave of Iranian strikes, Israel’s Iron Dome again failed to intercept missiles from Iran, according to social media footage.
🟠 Iran deployed its Fattah-1 hypersonic missile in the nighttime 11th wave of its attack, per the IRGC, claiming the weapon broke through Israeli air defenses and that it now has “complete control over [Israel's] airspace."
🟠 Iranian missiles caused fires in an area of central Israel, with one of the targets the Meron air base in northern Israel, Iran’s Fars News Agency reported.
🟠 Iranian missile strikes caused a fire in Lod, where Ben Gurion Airport is located.
🟠 Israel is running low on defensive Arrow interceptors, which could impact the country’s ability to shoot down long-range ballistic missiles from Iran, The Wall Street Journal reported.
🟠 The IRGC detained a "group of terrorists" working for Mossad in a suburb of Tehran. According to Tasnim News, they were transporting a significant amount of explosives and combat drones.
🟠 Israeli attacks have killed at least 585 people across Iran and wounded 1,326 others, Washington, DC-based group Human Rights Activists in Iran says.

🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷Israeli strikes on Iran's 'PEACEFUL nuclear facilities' are a 'DIRECT THREAT to the region and world' – Russian MFA spox
Russia is focused on this topic because it has seen what "little regard the Kiev regime has for the lives of IAEA inspectors, which has been evident for some time as it targets nuclear power plants—deliberately choosing them as objects of attack," she stressed.

💬 "Beyond the threat to the region and the world—since these are strikes on peaceful nuclear infrastructure, which is indeed a global threat—there is also a risk, though I can’t call it local... We’re talking about the lives and safety of IAEA inspectors," Maria Zakharova said.

Donald Trump’s advisors are feeding him bogus intel to push him to engage militarily with Iran on behalf of Israel, warns former CIA analyst Larry Johnson.
Hawks like Lindsey Graham are claiming Iran’s missile stockpile is nearly empty, but the US doesn't have "good intelligence or ground penetrating radar" to prove this.
💬 “We don't have even a clue,” says Johnson.

🇮🇷☢️ No evidence? No problem: Trump’s desire to be ‘on winning side’ blinds him to truth about Iran’s nuclear program
The IAEA chief’s bombshell confirmation that it has zero proof to back up Israeli claims of an Iranian nuclear weapons program is nothing new, repeating what the US intelligence community has been telling Trump for months, international relations analyst Gilbert Doctorow says.
🗣 It’s this conclusion that Trump “discarded” this week when he said he doesn’t care what DNI Gabbard thinks.
🗣 Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing the Iranian nuke claims, and Trump “is going along because he thinks that Israel is destroying the Iranian armed forces and he wants to be on the ‘winning side’,” Doctorow explained.

💬 “What Grossi said merely repeats what Tulsi Gabbard was saying to Congress in hearings a couple of months ago - namely that since 2003 when the Supreme Leader suspended Iran's military nuclear program, there is no evidence they have been working to create a bomb - and this was the unanimous judgment of all 18 American intel agencies,” Doctorow told Sputnik.
💬 “Netanyahu has been saying this for 30 years though it is totally false. He wants to destroy Iran so that Israel will be the sole hegemon in the Middle East,” the observer emphasized.
