Sound of explosions heard across Tehran: Report

The sound of several explosions has been heard across the Iranian capital, according to the country’s Tasnim news agency, amid reports that a ceasefire deal between Iran and Israel was reached and will come into effect in the next few hours. In a post on X, Tasnim also reports that Iran activated air defence systems to repel the latest attacks carried out by Israeli aircraft. According to Hamshahri News, “loud explosions” were heard in the west and centre of Tehran, as well as in the western suburb of Karaj. Earlier, Iranian forces also shot down an Israeli drone at it flew over Tehran, according to media reports.

Also just a little odd, PressTV reported the ceasefire confirmation from Arraghchi's twitter. Might not be terrible to consider that twitter is a US company both in legality and server location. Not saying this happened or I'm trying to do cope here, but it's at least possible this is information warfare. Just seems like such a bizarre time to stomp on the brakes.

According to some right-wing website, there is a bomb threat at the US President's Slave Mansion and 1 block has been evacuated. I'm not inclined to believe it, but I'm seeing a few other sources repeating the claim.

Legislator from Netanyahu’s Likud party opposes Iran truce

There’s already pushback to the Israel-Iran ceasefire.

Dan Illouz, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud Party, has said that the only deal the government must signed is Iran’s “surrender agreement”.

In a statement posted on X, Illouz said the “regime in Iran is not a regime with which agreements are made – but a regime that must be defeated”.

Illouz said that “if not defeated”, Iran will find new means against Israel.

This comes as Netanyahu faces pressure from right-wing members of his fractious coalition, as well as hardliners from his own party, to continue forceful action against Iran.

In recent days, Netanyahu has hinted that he will support a regime change in Iran, while Israeli media are advocating a partition of Iran along ethnic lines.

Netanyahu says Israel has achieved ‘all objectives’ of operation against Iran

Here are the details from the Israeli statement.

It said Netanyahu met his cabinet along with the minister of defence and the head of the Mossad last night “to report that Israel had achieved all of the objectives of Operation Rising Lion, and much more”.

“Israel has removed a dual immediate existential threat – both in the nuclear and ballistic missile fields,” the statement said.

The Israeli military “achieved full air control over Tehran’s skies, inflicted severe damage on the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of central Iranian government targets”, it said.

“In light of the achievement of the operation’s objectives, and in full coordination with President Trump, Israel has agreed to the president’s proposal for a bilateral ceasefire,” it added.

“Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire.”

According to Fotros Resistance, now the Israelis claim they have 12h to attack Iran after the ceasefire, but Iranian FM said any attack on Iran will result in more attacks.

We’ll see.

Should we let this thread open for now or call it a day?
