Situation Reports Part 3 - 2025-06-20
ISRAEL DECLARES WAR ON JOURNALISTS
It's not just media offices, but separate reporters targeted in Israel's terrorist attacks to suppress the truth.
Even though Western media remain silent, they could be next — because Israel bombs whoever they don't like. Here's the proof:
🔴Iranian TV bombing: On Monday, an Israeli airstrike hit the IRIB TV studio during a live broadcast. The host boldly challenged Israel to "target us again."
🔴AP office FLATTENED in Gaza: In May 2021, Israel literally "pancaked" the building housing The Associated Press & other media. Back then, Lt-Gen Aviv Kohavi claimed reporters were “sipping coffee with Hamas operatives” inside — despite the fact there wasn't even a cafeteria in that building.
🔴232+ Journalists killed in Gaza: The deadliest conflict for journalists, surpassing WW2, Vietnam, and Afghanistan combined. Over 48 media facilities destroyed.
🔴Lebanon: Reporters killed with US weapons: 6 journalists killed in 2023-2024, including Ghassan Najjar and Wissam Kassem in an Israeli airstrike using a US-made JDAM bomb.
🔴Targeted killings: Israel falsely labels journalists as "Hamas operatives," with no proof. Hamza Al-Dahdouh, Issam Abdallah, and Hossam Shabat were all killed while wearing press vests.
🔴Prof. Marandi targeted?: Was Tehran University’s Mohammed Marandi a real target of the Israeli bombing on Iranian TV? British politician George Galloway thinks so.
The war on journalists is real. And it’s not just confined to the Middle East.

📝 Israeli strikes on Iran 📝
By evening, the Israeli Air Force again launched air strikes on Iranian targets. The main targets were still concentrated in Tehran and the outskirts of the province of the same name.
🔻 More about the situation in Iran:
▪️ Several areas in the capital were attacked: at the Vanak roundabout , the strike was near the Red Cross center. There were several hits in the Lavisan area: according to Israeli media, the Supreme Leader of Iran's bunker is located there.
▪️ The target was Karaj and the nearby Payam International Airport . Two buildings in the city that produced components for centrifuges that enrich uranium had previously been destroyed.
▪️ In Mahdasht , located to the south, the air force facilities of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps came under fire.
▪️ Meanwhile, operations by Iran's canteen structures continue. In Mashhad, 18 Afghans were arrested, accused of collecting UAVs for Mossad's needs. In Khoremmobad , two Iranians were detained, presumably recruited by the Israelis.
🖍 As the strikes continue, US officials are escalating the situation, with Donald Trump declaring that “next week is going to be important” and demanding Iran’s capitulation .
🚩 On the ground, the US is also acting, transferring additional forces to the Middle East region, in particular tanker aircraft. The probability of their strike (even if limited) on Iran in the coming days remains high .
📌 No less interesting is the information that at the current moment the Internet is disconnected in almost the entire territory of the Islamic Republic and large-scale failures are observed.
In this regard, the question arises: how quickly will possible facts about the use of the Starlink system by various opposition, pro-Israeli forces in order to fight against the official government come to light?
❗️ As we wrote earlier, there are already a number of such illegal terminals in Iran. And Elon Musk himself has directly spoken about his readiness to activate the work of Starlink.

Alert #11
The twelfth wave of Operation True Promise 3 began with the launch of the super-heavy, two-stage, long-range Sajil missiles.
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The twelfth wave of Operation True Promise 3 began with the launch of the super-heavy, two-stage, long-range Sajil missiles.
Residents of the occupied territories of Palestine!
The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, with the support of the heroic Iranian people, destroyed the Zionist army's air defense system during previous operations, and now the skies of the occupied territories are open to Iranian missiles and drones!
The missile strikes will be targeted and continuous, as happened the day before, when the Mossad headquarters, Aman and air bases throughout the territory of the occupation regime were attacked .
The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps warned: the gates of hell will be opened before you. The thunderous missiles of the IRGC Aerospace Force will not allow you to spend a single moment outside the underground shelters. You have not seen the light of day for several days!
Rest assured that the sound of sirens will never cease. You are left with the choice of either a "slow death" in a hellish life underground, or trying to escape the incessant 24-hour missile rain by fleeing as quickly as possible from the lands conquered by your ancestors, in order to perhaps stay alive.
Verily, We will take revenge on the wrongdoers.

🇺🇸❌🇮🇷 NEW: President Trump is hesitant to approve U.S. strikes on Iran unless it’s certain the Fordow nuclear facility can be destroyed using the GBU-57 “bunker buster” bomb.
➡️ While some defense officials believe the bomb could work, others argue only a tactical nuclear weapon could destroy the deeply buried site.
➡️ Trump has ruled out nuclear options and is holding off on strikes for now, hoping the threat alone might push Iran to negotiate.

— 🇮🇷/🇮🇱 How's the situation of Iran's ballistic missile program?
Israel claims it has now destroyed two thirds of Iran's TEL launchers capable of launching ballistic missiles towards Israel. They say this is the reason Iran has been firing less missiles on a daily basis compared to at the start.
However, in reality this likely isn't the case. We have actually seen less than 10 TEL launchers visuably confirmed to be destroyed. But then why is Iran seemingly 'unable' to launch large misile salvos at once?
Iran has a vast network of underground missile bases spread all throughout the country, with the main ones being located in Western Iran, near Tabriz, Khorammabad, and Kermanshah. These sites are located deep underground, and are practically invulnerable to conventional Israeli strikes.
However, in the opening strike on Friday, Israel managed to target some of these bases and collapse their tunnel entrances. It will take Iran days to remove the rubble and reopen the entrances, and even then, they will be vulnerable to repeated attacks due to Israeli air superiority in the West.
The majority of missiles being launched at Israel currently are originating from Central and Eastern Iran, places like Shiraz, Shahrud, or even Mashhad. This is because Israeli air superiority is much less consolidated in these areas.
However, even with the worst case scenario of only 100-200 TELs left, Iran should be able to carry out a large coordinated missile strike. So why don't they?
Carrying out a large-scale coordinated missile strike requires planning and staging. In the staging phase, launchers are taken out of their bases and prepared for launch. In areas where Israel has sufficient air superiority, they can quickly detect these launchers and preemptively strike them, potentially risking high losses.
This is why Iran is currently only using 1-2 missile bases at a time. They are carrying out 'hit-and-run' tactics: Take out 20-30 launchers, fire, and immediately withdraw back into the tunnels to avoid any losses.
When Iran feels more confident about its ability to launch large and coordinated attacks, they will do so. Because they have not run out of missiles and launchers, and won't anytime soon. But the situation at Iran's Western missile bases must first be addressed in order to proceed with this.
Over all, the vast majority of Iran's missile bases are fully intact, with the notable exception of possibly Tabriz, which we saw footage of large secondary explosions, implying that the underground structure was hit. For most of Iran's 'damaged' missile bases, it's simply a matter of time — removing the rubble from the entrance tunnels and getting back to work.
When Israel's defense systems start becoming significantly degraded, which we will likely see in the coming days, Iran will probably launch larger attacks with its less sophisticated missiles with bigger warheads. Using those now would be a waste.

Based on this infographic, assuming it is correct and not exaggerated (doubtful), Israel likely has air superiority over North-Western Iran, around 20% of Iran's total territory.
Central, Southern and Eastern Iran seems to still be outside of the IDF's targeting scope, for now.

🔺I can announce the first victory to the dear nation of Iran; we were able to make the enemy make wrong calculations
🔺 Our retaliation is not yet complete and must be carried out; we will continue until we secure the future of the country.
🔺 We are on the seventh day of the war—we have launched over 400 missiles, dozens of which penetrated their so-called "dome" (Iron Dome).
🔺 All enriched materials have been transferred and are in secure locations.
🔺 Any ceasefire now would only lead to another war. We must not allow an enemy currently in a position of weakness to recover through a ceasefire.
🔺 Netanyahu has told America: "Either help me or declare a ceasefire."
🔺 We have carried out combined missile attacks using Fattah and Sejjil missiles.

‼️ A military source has told Iranian news agency Fars News that Iran used new-generation, precision-guided missiles in its Thursday attack on Israel.
The source revealed that these advanced weapons were specifically developed by Major General Martyr Hajizadeh to target Israeli positions.
Initial assessments indicate that over 70% of the missiles successfully struck their intended targets, showcasing Iran's growing military capabilities.
The missiles reportedly bypassed advanced ballistic missile defense systems, including THAAD, Arrow, and David's Sling. Images of the explosions confirm the deployment of enhanced warheads and high-explosive munitions, raising concerns about the escalating tensions in the region and the potential for further military confrontations.
