Israel, US Strike Iran After Weeks Of Warning, Explosions Heard In Tehran


"In response to the flagrant aggression committed by US terrorist forces against the national sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran on Qeshm Island, the IRGC Aerospace Force struck US military occupation bases in Kuwait with precise and intensive missile strikes, successfully destroying their targets and setting the aggressors' fortifications ablaze.The IRGC issues this as an initial response and delivers a severe warning to the US administration and any party permitting their territory or airspace to be used as a launchpad for aggression against Iran:Any new act of aggression, or any move against a single inch of our borders and sovereignty, will be met with a seismic, crushing, and decisive response that goes beyond existing boundaries. Our forces will not hesitate to turn all enemy positions and interests in the region to ash."

So they've now attacked an international airport at what looks like either the departure or arrivals lounge, which is no better than simply shooting down civilian airliners.

Time to take out Iran's entire power grid, all their refineries, metal/steel industries, plastics production and bridges... and keep it taken out. Blow up anyone who tries fix them too.





Not the first time they did it. The Dubai Airport's civilian terminals were attacked earlier in the war (before the 'ceasefire').


 

The United States House of Representatives on Wednesday delivered the most direct challenge yet to US President Donald Trump’s military campaign against Iran, approving a war powers resolution aimed at limiting further American involvement in a conflict that has now stretched beyond three months.

The vote, which passed 215-208, revealed growing unease among some Republicans over the administration’s handling of the conflict. Four Republican lawmakers joined Democrats to support the resolution, while no Democrats voted against it.

Yet despite the dramatic political optics, the measure does not immediately bring an end to US military operations against Iran.


Although the House has approved the measure, it must still clear several substantial hurdles before it can compel any change in US military policy.

The first challenge lies in the Senate. A similar war powers resolution has already advanced through a procedural stage in the upper chamber.

Last month, a small group of Republican senators joined Democrats in helping move the proposal forward after seven previous attempts had failed. However, Senate leaders have not yet scheduled a final vote on the measure, leaving its future uncertain.

Even if the Senate eventually approves its version of the resolution, another obstacle awaits. Trump is widely expected to veto any legislation designed to restrict his authority as commander-in-chief.

The administration has consistently defended the military campaign and has questioned the constitutionality of congressional attempts to curtail presidential war-making powers through the War Powers Act.

A presidential veto would force opponents of the war to seek a two-thirds supermajority in both chambers of Congress to override the president’s decision.
 
Iran launched another missile attack on Israel on June 7. The missile strike was the first since the ceasefire took effect in April. Iran claimed the attack was a response to IDF actions in Beirut. The Israel Defense Forces reported intercepting all Iranian missiles, but local residents recorded some strikes. The type of Iranian missiles was not disclosed.

 
For the first time since the April ceasefire, Israel and Iran have attacked each other. Israel carried out strikes on western and central Iran including the Iranian capital Tehran.
 
Someone in the ministry ought to be studying these tweets.

You can search/replace the following and the template reaponse for OpSindoor2 is ready.
Iran -> Pakistan
Hezbollah -> LeT/JeM
Lebanon -> Afghanistan

We have known for years what does not work against this Islamic regime: polite diplomacy or tough-sounding negotiations that evaporate overnight. A single knockout air campaign will not defeat it either. What does work — what we must do relentlessly — is exploit our decisive superiority in intelligence, technology, and air power. We must strike again and again at its military capabilities, infrastructure, and economy. Iran’s fierce insistence on linking Hezbollah to any deal only exposes its fragility both at home and abroad. That is why hitting Hezbollah hard is an integral part of this phase. The campaign will not be limited to Iran. Hezbollah must be dismantled if we want — and we do want — peace with our Lebanese neighbors.
