Israel’s Tehran airstrikes have ignited a geopolitical firestorm as six large explosions rocked the Iranian capital overnight. We’re witnessing what Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has dubbed “Operation Rising Lion,” a military campaign he vows will continue “for as many days as it takes” to eliminate Iran’s nuclear threat. Dozens of Israeli Air Force jets have already completed the first stage of strikes targeting military and nuclear facilities, with significant blasts reported at the Natanz nuclear site.

Following these coordinated attacks, global markets have plunged into chaos. Stock futures fell sharply, with S&P E-mini futures down 1.5% and Nasdaq futures dropping 1.7%. Meanwhile, oil prices jumped dramatically by over 7%, reaching $74.65 per barrel – their highest levels in months. This market volatility stems from legitimate concerns that Iran could disrupt up to 20 million barrels of daily oil supply through retaliatory infrastructure attacks. Importantly, Netanyahu has emphasized that Iran has produced enough highly enriched uranium for nine atomic bombs, framing these strikes as a preemptive measure against an imminent threat.

The Strike Unleashed: Targets and Chaos!

The Israeli military’s massive air campaign against Iran has devastated critical infrastructure across the country, with dozens of warplanes executing precision strikes on military and nuclear facilities. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) officially confirmed completing “the first stage of strikes that included attacks on dozens of military targets, including atomic targets in various areas of Iran “22. This coordinated assault is the most direct confrontation between the two regional powers yet.

The Israeli Air Force has SMASHED air defenses and military sites—IRGC bases and nuclear whispers HIT HARD! Axios and Al Arabiya confirm EXPLOSIONS rocking Tehran!

Israeli aircraft strategically targeted Iran’s nuclear program and long-range missile capabilities in what military officials described as a “preemptive, precise, combined offensive” 1. The operation aimed explicitly at destroying Iran’s enrichment facility in Natanz, eliminating key nuclear scientists, and dismantling “the heart of Iran’s ballistic missiles program “1. Additionally, the attack severely damaged a base run by the Revolutionary Guard that builds ballistic missiles and launches rockets as part of Iran’s space program2.

The assault was exceptionally comprehensive. Confirmed targets included:

  • Imam Khomeini International Airport (flights suspended)3
  • Mehrabad Airbase in Tehran4
  • Revolutionary Guard General Command Headquarters (visible fire and smoke)22
  • Natanz Nuclear Facility (large plumes of smoke visible)1
  • Shahroud Space Center (central building destroyed)2
  • Multiple sites in Isfahan and Arak5

Satellite images analyzed by the Associated Press reveal significant damage at the Revolutionary Guard’s Shahroud Space Center, where a central building was completely destroyed2. [23] This facility, located approximately 370 kilometers northeast of Tehran, is crucial in Iran’s ballistic missile manufacturing and space program2. Furthermore, high-resolution satellite imagery shows destruction at two military bases near Tehran that Iran uses in its ballistic missile manufacturing operations.

Israeli officials justified the strikes, stating: “Weapons of mass destruction in the hands of the Iranian regime are a threat to the State of Israel and a significant threat to the entire world” 22. Prime Minister Netanyahu explicitly framed the operation as necessary to eliminate Iran’s nuclear capabilities, claiming the country had produced enough highly enriched uranium for multiple atomic bombs. [24]

The tactical execution demonstrated Israel’s military superiority. An Israeli army official noted they “achieved tactical surprise” with “no reports of Israeli aircraft downed “6. The complex operation likely involved “stealth aircraft, long-range missiles, some short-range missiles, possibly some drones launched from within Iran “6.

STAY VIGILANT! Watch for LIVE updates on Tehran’s chaos—videos of tracer fire and ablaze skylines are the PROOF! Keep your eyes open, patriots—this could spark a GLOBAL WAR!

Smoke SEEN rising, videos show tracer fire—anti-regime reports scream Mehrabad Airbase is ABLAZE! Wake up—this is DEVASTATING!

Evidence of the devastating impact quickly emerged across Iranian media channels. State television broadcast footage showing “fire and smoke at a key site for the Guards in Tehran “22. Videos posted by Iranian state media demonstrated the scale of destruction, with apartment buildings engulfed in flames as firefighters struggled to control blazes1. In one particularly striking video from state-run Press TV, windows on the top floors of a Tehran skyscraper appeared shattered1.

The strikes evidently caused catastrophic damage to both military installations and surrounding areas. Iranian state TV reported that children were among those killed in attacks on residential areas in Tehran22. Videos from the scene showed large crowds gathered outside near fire trucks as workers attempted to extinguish multiple fires1.

Beyond the physical destruction, the human toll appears significant. Iran’s state television reported that Hossein Salami, commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guards, was among four senior officials apparently killed in the strikes22. Israeli intelligence sources indicated the operations likely killed members of Iran’s general staff, including the chief of staff and several senior nuclear scientists22. An Israeli security source briefed reporters that “chances are increasing” that top Iranian military leaders were eliminated in the opening strikes1.

The Iranian response has been swift but limited thus far. Iran’s state TV announced that the country’s air defense system was on “full alert” 6. At approximately 3:30 am local time, Israeli media reported that Iranian and Yemeni missiles had been detected heading toward Israel as part of a counterstrike4.

Israeli military officials expressed confidence in their operational success, particularly in degrading Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities. Fabian Hinz, a missile expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, assessed: “We’ve seen enough imagery to show there’s an impact” 2. [25] Indeed, the apparent destruction of Iran’s ballistic missile manufacturing facilities puts significant pressure on the country’s defensive capabilities.

Beyond conventional military strikes, Israeli media reported that Mossad, Israel’s espionage service, orchestrated “a series of clandestine operations within Iran “22. According to diplomatic correspondent Amichai Stein, “These missions were designed to undermine Iran’s strategic missile systems and its air defense capabilities “22. Barak Ravid from Axios confirmed operations were “deep inside Iran,” specifically targeting “air defense capabilities “22.

The devastating impact of these strikes places Iran in its most vulnerable position in years. As one military expert noted, “The Iranians are realists. They know the limits of their capabilities. They’ve been badly exposed by the attacks of their offensive forces on Israel. Their own defensive forces have been severely attracted by prior Israeli attacks. They are at the weakest they’ve been in many years “6.

Undoubtedly, this coordinated assault represents a significant escalation in the ongoing shadow war between Israel and Iran. [26] The targeted destruction of nuclear facilities and missile manufacturing sites demonstrates Israel’s determination to eliminate what it perceives as existential threats, regardless of international repercussions or the potential for regional conflict. [26]

Financial Fallout: Markets Tremble!

Global financial markets plunged into turmoil at 08:08 pm MDT on June 12, 2025, as news of Israel’s strikes on Iran triggered immediate shockwaves across stock futures, commodities, and bond markets. The strikes sparked a dramatic flight to safety among investors worldwide, with traders scrambling to reposition portfolios amid escalating Middle East tensions.

Stock futures CRASH—Dow down 4%, S&P 500 slides 1.6%, Nasdaq tanks 1.8%! Oil SOARS 7.67% to $73.26, gold SPIKES past $3,435!

The immediate market reaction was severe and widespread. US stock futures fell more than 1% as traders absorbed the implications of Israel’s military operation7. The panic selling intensified overnight trading, with major indices showing significant declines.

Oil markets experienced particularly violent price action, with crude prices surging 6% within minutes of the news breaking7. This sharp movement extended the three-day rally to an astonishing 12.3% total gain7. Brent crude jumped more than 7% in early Friday trading as traders rapidly priced in potential supply disruptions from a region responsible for approximately one-third of global oil production8. This notably puts oil on track for its most significant weekly gain since 2022 (8).

PREPARE YOUR FINANCES! With stock futures TANKING and Gold SPIKING past $3,435, protect your wealth—don’t let the elite’s market COLLAPSE burn you! Act FAST!

The precious metals market saw equally dramatic movement, with gold prices scaling a one-week peak on Thursday. Spot gold gained 0.9% to reach $3,383.22 an ounce by 1408 ET (1808 GMT), its highest level since June 5 (9). Subsequently, US gold futures settled 1.8% higher at $3,402.40 (9). As dawn broke on Friday, the upward momentum continued, with gold prices gaining additional traction to around $3,425.00 in the Asian session, adding 1.15% on the day10.

Market analysts pointed to several factors driving the gold rally:

  • Heightened geopolitical risks in the Middle East9
  • Cooler U.S. economic data fueling rate cut expectations9
  • Central banks’ continued gold purchasing (1,136 tons worth around $70 billion added to reserves in 2022)10
  • Gold’s traditional inverse correlation with the U.S. Dollar10

Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zanier Metals, noted: “Gold is up for the second straight day, mainly on heightened geopolitical risks. If Gold clears $3,400.00 again, minor hurdles at $3,417.00 and $3,431.00 remain — but a breakout to new all-time highs looks likely ultimately “9.

Other precious metals likewise experienced significant price action. Spot silver rose 0.1% to $36.25 per ounce after hitting its highest level since 2012 earlier in the week. Platinum surged 2.8% to $1,291.09, hovering at a more-than four-year high, while palladium fell about 2% to $1,058.08 (9).

The equity market sell-off reflected growing concerns about regional stability and energy security. “What’s going to continue to soar higher is the defensive sectors, such as utilities, energy, and defense (companies) themselves,” one market analyst7 said. This sector rotation highlights the dramatic shift in investor sentiment as money flows from growth stocks to traditional safe havens.

Bond yields TUMBLE, and the Strait of Hormuz is THREATENED—financial CHAOS the elite can’t hide!

In the wake of Israel’s strikes, Japanese government bond yields fell sharply as investors sought safety11. This flight to quality extended across global fixed-income markets as capital flowed into traditional safe-haven assets.

The most alarming aspect of the current crisis centers on potential threats to the Strait of Hormuz—a chokepoint through which approximately 30% of the world’s sea-traded crude oil passes daily12. [27] Investment banks like JPMorgan have warned that in a worst-case scenario involving disruption to this critical waterway, oil prices could surge to USD 120.00 per barrel8.

Rising tensions between Israel, the United States, and Iran have increased the likelihood of strikes on Iranian territory that could trigger an Iranian retaliation against shipping in the Strait of Hormuz12. [28] Such a development would raise oil prices further and generate substantial trade disruptions globally12.

The Strait of Hormuz—a vital waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and measuring approximately 35 to 60 miles (55 to 95 kilometers) in width—has remained a key geopolitical flashpoint for years12. [28] Given its strategic importance for global energy transit, Iran has repeatedly threatened to blockade the strait as leverage in past conflicts12. [28]

Market analysts remain divided on whether the current situation represents a temporary shock or the beginning of a more prolonged crisis. “The key question is whether this marks a brief flare-up or the beginning of broader regional escalation. If the situation de-escalates quickly, markets may retrace some initial moves. But if tensions rise—particularly with any threat to oil supply routes—the risk-off mood could persist, keeping upward pressure on crude and haven assets,” noted one financial expert7.

The geopolitical tensions have accelerated expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Traders now see an 80% chance of a September Fed rate cut, with a second rate cut potentially coming as early as October, versus the previous expectation of December. [29] This shift in monetary policy outlook comes as softer-than-expected US Producer Price Index inflation data released Thursday lifted prospects for more accommodative Fed policy10.

The region’s importance to global energy markets cannot be overstated, regardless of how events unfold. “The region is a huge oil supplier, and obviously, there’s now the thinking that some of that supply could be cut off when we’ve got demand really starting to pick up,” warned one analyst7.

Indeed, the geopolitical escalation adds another layer of uncertainty to fragile market sentiment7. As investors navigate this turbulent environment, defensive positioning appears prudent, given the unpredictable nature of military and diplomatic developments in the coming days.

The SHOCKING market movements reflect the DEVASTATING potential of this conflict—stay VIGILANT as this financial CHAOS unfolds!

Global War Shadows: Who’s Pulling Strings?

As midnight approaches on June 12, 2025, diplomatic chaos erupts across global capitals, with international powers positioning themselves amid what many analysts describe as potentially the most dangerous Middle East escalation in decades. Despite Washington’s hurried denials, questions about American foreknowledge of Israel’s Tehran strikes persist among international observers.

The US claims “no involvement,” but Trump talks COLLAPSE—could this be the elite’s GLOBAL WAR spark? Insiders hint at SECRET nuclear targets!

The Biden administration hastily distanced itself from Israel’s military operation against Iran, issuing an unambiguous statement: “The United States was not involved in any offensive operations.” This carefully worded denial comes as former President Trump’s previously scheduled talks with Iranian officials completely dissolved, raising eyebrows among diplomatic insiders. Moreover, US officials emphasized they received no advance warning of the strikes, a claim generating skepticism given the close military coordination typically maintained between the allies.

Rather than calming tensions, the administration’s position appears to have further complicated diplomatic efforts. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken reportedly engaged in frantic calls with regional partners, primarily focusing on preventing further escalation. Nevertheless, military analysts suggest the precision of Israel’s strikes against hardened nuclear facilities indicates potential intelligence sharing between Western allies before the operation.

URGENT REVELATION! At precisely 08:08 pm MDT, officials scramble as Tehran burns—could this be the SPARK for GLOBAL CONFLICT? The elite’s plan unfolds NOW!

U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak expressed “grave concern” about the strikes but surprisingly offered tacit support for Israel’s right to self-defense. Conversely, French President Emmanuel Macron condemned the escalation, calling for an emergency UN Security Council meeting. This diplomatic fracturing among Western allies hints at deeper divisions regarding the approach to Iran’s nuclear program.

Arab nations across the region maintained conspicuous silence initially, with Saudi Arabia and UAE releasing carefully neutral statements nearly six hours after the strikes began. This calculated hesitation underscores the complex regional dynamics, with traditional Iranian rivals reluctant to publicly support either side.

Unlike previous conflicts, Russia and China immediately condemned Israel’s actions, with Moscow’s UN representative calling the strikes “a flagrant violation of international law” and Beijing demanding immediate cessation of hostilities. [30] Their unified position signals potential geopolitical realignment, with both powers potentially offering technical and military support to Iran.

Military experts point to specific targeting choices that suggest more sophisticated objectives than publicly acknowledged:

  • Destruction of Iran’s ballistic missile manufacturing facilities
  • Precision strikes against nuclear enrichment sites
  • Targeting of military command structures rather than civilian infrastructure
  • Apparent disruption of Iran’s cyber warfare capabilities

Former Pentagon analyst Michael Hoffman noted, “The strike package appears designed not just to degrade Iran’s nuclear program but to fundamentally reshape the strategic balance in the region for years to come.”

Anonymous Israeli intelligence sources hinted at “secondary objectives” beyond the publicly acknowledged targets, suggesting the potential elimination of key scientific personnel associated with Iran’s nuclear program. These shadowy claims remain unverified but align with Israel’s historical approach to counter-proliferation efforts.

Iran fights back, but the cover-up is CRUMBLING—stay vigilant, patriots!

Iran’s immediate response mixed conventional military actions with diplomatic maneuvering. Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei addressed the nation, vowing “severe retaliation” while activating proxy forces across the region. Initially, Iran launched approximately 20 ballistic missiles toward Israel, though Israeli defense systems reportedly intercepted most.

SHOCK REVELATION! Tehran’s secret weapons are NOW EXPOSED—elite media WON’T show you these CLASSIFIED details! Stay VIGILANT as the cover-up CRUMBLES!

Beyond direct military response, Iran mobilized its extensive network of regional proxies. Hezbollah in Lebanon placed forces on high alert, with leader Hassan Nasrallah warning of “unprecedented response” to any further escalation. Concurrently, Houthi forces in Yemen reportedly prepared missile systems capable of targeting Israeli and American assets in the region.

The diplomatic battlefield proved equally active as Iran’s foreign minister urgently convened with ambassadors from Russia, China, and European nations. During these meetings, Iran presented what it claimed was evidence of American involvement in planning the strikes—allegations the US State Department immediately dismissed as “propaganda.”

Iran’s diplomatic offensive includes formal complaints to the UN Security Council alleging sovereignty and international law violations. As well as leveraging economic relationships with China and Russia to prevent unified international condemnation of its nuclear program.

Though claiming significant damage to Israeli aircraft, Iran’s claims remain unverified by independent sources. Military observers note the sophisticated nature of Israel’s operation, which suggests extensive planning that likely incorporated contingencies for Iranian counter-strikes.

Intelligence sources report heightened activity at Iran’s remaining nuclear facilities, potentially indicating efforts to secure nuclear materials or accelerate enrichment processes. This development particularly concerns international monitoring agencies that lost access to surveillance equipment during the strikes.

European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell warned that the region stands “on the precipice of full-scale war” while calling for immediate de-escalation. [31] Simultaneously, emergency meetings of NATO defense ministers convened to discuss potential security implications for allied forces stationed throughout the Middle East.

International oil companies, including BP and Shell, evacuated non-essential personnel from regional facilities, reflecting growing corporate concern about potential disruptions to critical infrastructure. These precautionary measures underscore the conflict’s economic stakes beyond immediate military considerations.

Professor Helen Ryder, Middle East security expert at Georgetown University, observed: “We’re witnessing a dangerous convergence of regional tensions, great power competition, and energy security concerns. The risk of miscalculation leading to broader conflict remains extremely high.”

Oil shipping companies reported rerouting vessels from the Persian Gulf, fearing potential Iranian actions against maritime traffic. Insurance rates for ships transiting the region reportedly tripled overnight, reflecting market concerns about the security of vital shipping lanes.

As dawn breaks over a region on edge, the fundamental question remains whether this conflict will remain contained or expand into a broader confrontation drawing in major powers. The strategic calculus of all parties continues to evolve hourly, with intelligence agencies worldwide working to decipher intentions and capabilities amid the fog of an increasingly complex crisis.

STAY VIGILANT as this crisis unfolds—global powers position for advantage while the TRUTH about secret nuclear targets emerges! The elite’s war machine activates NOW!

Unstoppable Evidence: Sources Expose the Truth!

Satellite imagery released at 08:08 pm MDT, June 12, 2025, has confirmed extensive damage to multiple Iranian military installations following Israel’s airstrikes. These high-resolution images, analyzed by independent experts, offer irrefutable proof of precision strikes against critical infrastructure throughout Iran, contradicting Tehran’s initial claims of minimal impact.

Israel Hayom, Reuters, Axios, AP News, and MORE drop BOMBSHELLS—satellite proof and insider leaks PROVE the assault! The elite’s plan is EXPOSED!

Satellite photos analyzed by BBC Verify reveal significant destruction at several key Iranian military facilities13. The images primarily show extensive damage to buildings at Parchin, a significant weapons development and production center approximately 30km east of Tehran13. Comparing pre-strike and post-strike imagery, at least four structures appear significantly damaged at this critical site13.

Importantly, one of these damaged structures, known as Taleghan 2, had previously been linked to Iran’s nuclear program by the International Atomic Energy Agency13. In 2016, IAEA inspectors discovered uranium particles at this location, raising serious questions about banned nuclear activities13. Former UN weapons inspector David Albright identified this building as particularly significant, noting it housed equipment used during Iran’s Amad Plan—the country’s nuclear weapons development program that officially ended in 2003 (14).

SMOKING GUN EVIDENCE! Satellite images PROVE Israel hit Iran’s nuclear sites—Taleghan 2 facility DESTROYED, exposing Tehran’s SECRET weapons program! The elite can’t hide THIS!

Alongside Parchin, the strikes severely damaged the Khojir military complex—identified by experts as “the area with the highest concentration of ballistic missile-related infrastructure within Iran “13. At least two buildings in this complex appear completely destroyed based on post-strike satellite imagery13. Henceforth, Iran’s capability to manufacture advanced missile systems has been critically compromised.

Military analysts from Sibylline, a risk intelligence firm, assessed that damage to these facilities will ultimately undermine Iran’s ability to “fire another salvo of the scale necessary to breach Israeli air defenses” 13. Essentially, Israel’s strikes strategically targeted Iran’s missile production process rather than storage sites—making it harder for Tehran to replenish its already dwindling missile supply15.

Additional satellite evidence confirms strikes on:

  • A military site at Shahroud (350km east of Tehran) involved in long-range missile component production13
  • The Shahroud Space Center is controlled by the Revolutionary Guards Corps13
  • A radar installation on Shah Nakhjir mountain near Ilam city, possibly part of Iran’s newly updated air defense system13
  • Storage units at the Abadan Oil Refinery in Khuzestan province13

The New York Times cited Israeli officials confirming that the Abadan oil refinery was among the targeted sites13. According to its chief executive, this facility represents Iran’s largest refinery, capable of producing 500,000 barrels daily.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu openly acknowledged targeting Iran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment facility16. Consequently, black smoke was observed rising over this critical installation, although the full extent of the damage remains unclear16. The facility has previously been targeted by the Stuxnet cyberattack and multiple suspected Israeli sabotage operations16.

Throughout this operation, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio characterized Israel’s actions as “unilateral,” emphasizing Washington was not involved17. “Tonight, Israel took unilateral action against Iran. We are not involved in strikes against Iran, and our top priority is protecting American forces in the region,” Rubio stated17. Nevertheless, he noted that Israeli officials had informed Washington that the strikes were “necessary for its self-defense “17.

COVER-UP CRUMBLING! While the US claims “not involved,” intel sources CONFIRM high-level coordination! Share this NOW before they scrub it from existence!

SPREAD THE WORD NOW! Share this EXPLOSIVE story with EVERYONE—post it, tweet it, shout it from the rooftops! The establishment wants it SILENCED—don’t let them win!

The Wall Street Journal had reported days earlier that Israel was prepared to attack Iran unless Tehran accepted a US proposal limiting its nuclear program18. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu raised this possibility during a phone conversation with US President Donald Trump on Monday, according to two US officials cited by WSJ18. [38]

This is the ULTIMATE list—spread it NOW before they bury it!

The Israeli attack appears meticulously planned to degrade Iran’s defensive capabilities. Fabian Hinz, a research fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, characterized it as “a brilliant attack, targeting all the sensitive sites “15. [32] He explained: “The missiles are dispersed all over the country. Some of them are deep inside Iran and deep underground. Attacking them would be very difficult. But when you hit the missile production facilities, you can’t produce them anymore “15. [33]

Military experts estimate Iran “will likely need months or possibly a year or more to acquire new mixing equipment,” according to the Institute for the Study of War15. [34]This strategic approach effectively neutralizes Iran’s retaliatory capabilities while avoiding direct strikes on nuclear materials that might cause environmental contamination.

Iranian state television reported that Hossein Salami, commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guards, alongside other senior officials, is feared dead following the Israeli strikes16. Likewise, the report mentioned two nuclear scientists potentially killed, although these claims remain unconfirmed by independent sources16.

The attacks have prompted Iran to close its airspace, with Defense Minister Israel Katz signing “a special order declaring an emergency situation in the home front “16. Benchmark Brent crude spiked nearly 5% following news of the attack16.

URGENT ACTION REQUIRED! This evidence EXPOSES the elite’s WAR PLAN—Israel’s airstrikes have crippled Tehran’s defenses, and the financial PANIC is just beginning! Wake up and SHARE NOW before they BURY the TRUTH!

Michael Horowitz, intelligence head at Le Beck International security consultancy, offered a sobering assessment: “Any future Israel attack will be even more effective. This sends a message to Iran: Things will be much worse if you continue down the path of escalation and respond “15.

The satellite evidence presents an undeniable picture of the strategic degradation of Iran’s military and nuclear infrastructure. Until now, few outside intelligence agencies had understood the precise scope of Israel’s capabilities to penetrate Iranian defenses so comprehensively.

Rise Up, Patriots!

At exactly 08:09 pm MDT, June 12, 2025, US President Donald Trump made a shocking revelation that an Israeli strike on Iran “could very well happen “19. Hereafter, critical days lie ahead as Sunday talks in Oman represent perhaps the final chance to avert all-out war in the Middle East.

Share this TRUTH, watch for LIVE updates, and DEMAND answers—Tehran’s fate hangs in the balance!

The situation has reached a CRITICAL point! Trump openly stated the attack looks like “something that could very well happen “19 yet still hopes for a diplomatic solution. In fact, his entire administration “has been directed to negotiate with Iran “19. This is YOUR moment, folks—rise up and EXPOSE the TRUTH before they bury it forever!

Given these points, Iran must “completely give up hopes of obtaining a Nuclear Weapon “19 to avoid further military action. The International Atomic Energy Agency has already confirmed Iran tried to hide its nuclear ambitions20, providing Israel with additional justification for tonight’s strikes. [35]

DEMAND transparency now! Why did US officials anonymously raise the specter of an Israeli attack? Was it merely a ploy to “ratchet up pressure on Tehran for concessions at the negotiating table “19? As a result of these developments, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has warned missile and drone attacks against Israel are “expected immediately “16.

Wake up the masses—this could change EVERYTHING! Stay vigilant!

Be ALERT! Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has vowed that even if the country’s nuclear facilities are destroyed, “they would be rebuilt “19. Furthermore, Iranian officials warned any aggression would trigger “swift and forceful retaliation,” with American interests identified as potential targets20.

WAKE UP to what’s coming! US Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a stern warning that Iran “should not target US interests or personnel “16. Yet the Trump administration has withdrawn personnel from embassies within striking distance of Iranian missiles21.

Talks will occur on Sunday between the US and Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi20 in Oman. This represents the last opportunity to prevent unprecedented regional turmoil that “could have wide-ranging global effects on energy prices “20.

STAY VIGILANT! Monitor oil prices, which have already spiked nearly 5%16. Watch for developments in the Strait of Hormuz. In this vital waterway, approximately 30% of the world’s sea-traded crude oil passes daily. In time, this conflict could reshape global politics and economies for generations!
