If things look bleak, let's remember that it was unprecedented for Israel to get bombed by other nations. Now Iran has the capabilities to inflict damage on Israel, this is a very good development on the anti-imperialist side.

โ€”โ—๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท/๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ Washington Post: 'Israel will only be able to maintain shooting down Iranian ballistic missiles for 10 or 12 more days, then they will need to start rationing munitions'

This could explain why Iran is opting to launch small but consecutive waves. Iran is likely using up some of their older / less sophisticated missiles to deplete Israeli defenses, to make way for the 'real' stuff later on. This is attritional warfare.

In most cases, a small wave of 3-5 Iranian ballistic missiles is enough to prompt the launch of about 10-15 Israeli interceptor missiles, with each one costing at least $12 million dollars (in the case of THAAD).

In contrast, even Iran's most modern missile, the Fattah-1, only costs about $200,000 to produce, according to the IRGC. If we assume 12 interceptors for one Fattah-1 missile (as seen in a video today), that means Israel is spending $144 million dollars to 'intercept' (not always successfully) a single Iranian hypersonic missile.

This is simply not sustainable. Within about two weeks, if Iran keeps up the current pace of fire, Israeli airspace will be at the mercy of Iran's far larger and more destructive solid fuel bsllistic missiles. Unless, of course, the U.S. intervenes directly.

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ท Statement by the Iranian Foreign Ministry:

The bellicose US administration will be held responsible for the extremely dangerous consequences of aggression against Iran. We will defend ourselves with all our might.

๐Ÿ”นThis statement strongly condemns the barbaric US aggression against our country's peaceful nuclear facilities and emphasizes: this aggression, committed in collusion with Tel Aviv, has once again demonstrated the depth of depravity that reigns in American politics, as well as the level of hostility and hatred of the US ruling elite towards the peace-loving and independent people of Islamic Iran.

๐Ÿ”นThe Foreign Ministry emphasizes: Iran considers it its right to firmly resist US aggression and the crimes of this rebellious regime, as well as to defend its security and national interests.

๐Ÿ”นThe Foreign Ministry statement indicated that the US attack on Iran's peaceful nuclear facilities is a flagrant and unprecedented violation of the UN Charter, especially the principle of non-use of force and respect for the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of states, as set out in paragraph 4 of Article 2, a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 2231 and a crushing blow to the nuclear non-proliferation regime.

๐Ÿ”นThe MFA also emphasizes: Iran recalls the responsibility of the United Nations, the Security Council, the UN Secretary-General, the International Atomic Energy Agency and other competent international bodies to immediately respond to this criminal lawlessness and considers silence in the face of this blatant aggression as an unprecedented and comprehensive threat to the entire world.

๐Ÿ”นThe Foreign Ministry's statement calls on the UN Security Council to hold an emergency meeting, strongly condemn the US's criminal aggression against Iran, and hold the US accountable for grossly violating international norms and principles.

Israeli PM Netanyahu:

Any attempt by Iran to rebuild any part of its nuclear program will result in an immediate Israeli attack.

From now on, we will treat Iran like Lebanon: zero tolerance for any capability that threatens Israel.

Chinese state media is debunking Israels claim about the Sorka Hospital

TEHRAN, June 19 (Xinhua) -- Iran targeted Israel's military intelligence facilities in its strikes on the southern part of the country on Thursday morning, not a hospital as was reported by some media outlets, Iran's state news agency IRNA said.

The strikes were aimed at the Israeli army's C4I telecommunications corps headquarters and an intelligence facility, IRNA said, adding that the hospital in question was affected by the blast's shockwave.

Look at the "civilized democracies" paralyzed in the face of genocide. Stifled by corrupt UN bureaucracy. Not a single of the highest cracker courts could do anything but make limp-wristed gestures from across the world. All the enlightened pink-washed liberals did was lie to us. Anyone who complained that the genocide was even happening were target, slandered, defamed, arrested, deported, blackbagged, fired, blacklisted, and made victims of a police state.

People doing what was right, speaking out, holding signs and opposing the mass death of Palestinians became antisemites, criminals and terrorists by the Empire and its lackeys.

People cheering the extermination and dehumanization of Palestinians were rewarded with approval and a gentle pat on the head from the benevolent master.

The west is beyond sick. It never evolved beyond a First Imperial War mindset. One after another, country after country, the great hand crosses the globe to flip on the meat grinder casino.

The REAL heroes are all the ones we're constantly told are evil "regimes". The empire is a macrocosm of unreality. The lies are so maximalist, it inverts the truth.

Whatever the outcome of this crisis, I wish people could recognize that the so called "terrorists" and "regimes" did more for the sake of humanity than anyone else in the "civilized" world.

Westoid media is really laying into this bullshit Zionazi narrative that their hospital was directly targeted and hit, and it's proof of "warcrimes"

If Amerikkka enters this war soon, it will probably do it under this fake casus belli

Really fucking incredible how cynical these freaks are

Seems to be no new development as of now. Haifa was hit and multiple missiles reached their targets. And Israel attacked some Iranian oil refineries. That's about it for now.

The leader of Yemen's Ansar Allah, Sayyed Abdulmalik al-Houthi, backed Iran's actions against "Israel", calling it a boost for Palestine and the region, while condemning the Israeli aggression. He urged Arab and Islamic nations to support Iran and maintain resistance in a speech on Saturday.

The leader of Yemenโ€™s Ansar Allah movement stated that Iranโ€™s success in its ongoing confrontation with the Israeli occupation benefits "the Palestinian cause and the entire region," while expressing Yemen's support for Iran's "True Promise 3" operation against the occupation, affirming that Sana'a "stands in full solidarity to the extent of its capabilities."

Sometimes I feel like going mad the way society forces me to behave like nothing is happening. Just go to work and ignore a possible build up to WW3. Not sure what else I want to be doing atm but this feels clownesque too.

I have this with everything though. Must be the result of living in a society you fundamentally disagree with.
