Yesterday (6/19/25), the White House announced that President Trump would decide within 2 weeks whether or not to join Israel in bombing Iran, and Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that there was a strong chance of negotiating a deal as they were in constant contact with the Iranians.

Today, however, Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi completely denied these reports, and stated that Iran has no intention of returning to negotiations with the U.S. as long as the bombing against them continues.

No return to diplomacy amid aggression against Iran in which US is complicit: FM

Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi has ruled out diplomatic negotiations as long as the wanton aggression against the Islamic Republic continues, holding the United States complicit in it.

Speaking ahead of his visit to Geneva where he is scheduled to hold talks with his European counterparts on the Israeli aggression, Araghchi said Tehran has explicitly stated that as long as the aggression does not stop, the talk of dialogue is meaningless.

He informed that some countries have reached out to Iran in recent days and urged de-escalation and return to diplomacy.

“I respond by saying that we were in the middle of diplomacy, so what are we supposed to return to? Or the attack by the Zionist regime on nuclear facilities; no one can explain why the Westerners do not allow this aggression to be condemned,” he remarked.

“They themselves cannot explain it and only evade the question, and there is an unjustifiable support (for it),” he said, referring specifically to attack on Iran’s nuclear sites.

The top Iranian diplomat said Tehran considers Washington an accomplice of the Israeli regime in its aggression against Iran, in a reference to statements made by US President Donald Trump in support of the regime and threats against top Iranian officials.

“We have nothing to talk with the United States as a partner in this crime,” he asserted.

He also ruled out any discussion regarding Iran’s ballistic missile program, stating that no rational mind can accept that Iran negotiate with anyone about its missile capabilities, which are “extraordinary and defensive” in nature.

Araghchi further said that Iran’s armed forces have only targeted military and economic centers of the Zionist regime in its retaliatory operation, True Promise III. (Full article.)

This is but one example of how current events in the war against Iran are portrayed very differently in the media, depending on the source. I have repeatedly shown since Trump’s inauguration earlier this year how the White House constantly LIES to the American people through Karoline Leavitt, and this seems to be just another example.

To get the other, non-Zionist view of current news in Iran and Israel, these are my top sources for my news feed:

Press TV – English News out of Iran.

TRT World – English News out of Turkey.

Al Mayadeen – English News out of Lebanon.

Middle East Eye – Middle Eastern News from London with Middle Eastern reporters.

The Cradle – Middle Eastern News from the U.S. with Middle Eastern reporters.

And while Israelis are either hunkering down in bomb shelters all day or trying to get out of Israel, massive crowds in Iran took to the streets today to pray and show their support for their country.

Iranians rally nationwide in support of armed forces amid Israeli aggression

Massive rallies were held in cities across Iran on Friday, following congregational prayers, to protest against Israeli-American aggression against the country and express solidarity with the Iranian armed forces.

In the capital, Tehran, tens of thousands of people marched from the University of Tehran in Enghelab Square to the iconic Azadi Tower in western Tehran.

Similar demonstrations took place in cities including Mashhad, Isfahan, Tabriz, Qom, Shiraz, Qazvin, Yazd, and Gilan, with participants reaffirming their unwavering support for the country’s armed forces.

Demonstrators defied threats, carrying photos of martyrs and chanting vociferous against the Zionist regime and its Western backers, particularly the United States.

People from all walks of life, representing all age groups, demonstrated a renewed determination to confront the Zionist regime and its imperialist allies.

Friday is the Muslim day of worship where people go to their Mosques. Here is some video footage from the streets of Iran today, that you will probably not see on your nightly news in the U.S. or other western countries. As people left the Mosques, much like Christians leaving their churches on Sunday, the people marched openly in the streets.

Telegram seems to be the one place where these are not censored, and where I got these clips. Note: men and women worship in different sections of a Mosque, hence you will see groups of women, or groups of men sometimes marching together as they came out of the Mosques.

Israel and the U.S. Vastly Underestimated Iran’s Resolve and Military Power

Iran launched its 17th wave of “True Promise 3” today, and they claim that this is just the beginning, as they still have many missiles left in their arsenal.

From Al Mayadeen:

Iran used under 5% of its latent capacity against ‘Israel’: Rezaei

The Iranian official reveals that his country will soon unveil new missile capabilities.

Iran has launched 400 missiles and 600 drones toward the Israeli entity as part of Operation True Promise 3, revealed Mohsen Rezaei, a member of Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council.

The strikes have resulted in 50 fatalities and over 2,000 injuries, according to Rezaei.

The Iranian official highlighted that the attack demonstrated only a limited portion of Iran’s military strength.

He noted that Iran has deployed less than 30% of its actual capabilities and under 5% of its latent capacity.

“No one imagined that Iranian missiles would penetrate four layers of reinforced concrete in Israeli military command centers — but they did,” he indicated.

According to Rezaei, Israeli officials made a grave error in judgment by launching attacks against Iran.

He explained that the occupation had assumed the martyrdom of senior commanders in the Iranian armed forces would disrupt operations, “but we saw the opposite — under the leadership of the Leader of the Revolution [Sayyed Ali Khamenei], actions continued with strength, and we proceeded with determination and resolve.”

“They [the Israelis] are now deeply entangled in a severe crisis,” he noted, adding, “We have severely punished them in recent days — and this response is not over yet.”

The Iranian official emphasized that his country’s retaliation must be sufficiently “deterrent to guarantee Iran’s security.”

Rezaei also revealed that Iran will soon unveil new missile capabilities. He stated that his country has not yet employed its naval and ground forces, nor has it used strategic leverage points such as the Strait of Hormuz and its oil resources.

This comes as Iran is conducting its response to the ongoing Israeli aggression under the operation titled True Promise 3.

The offensive targets Israeli military and strategic installations across the occupied Palestinian territories using ballistic missiles and drones.

Israel’s Iron Dome is reportedly becoming less effective in intercepting these missiles as Iranian intelligence adapts and refines its technology. These attacks are becoming so frequent that many of them are now being reported even in the Zionist media. They reported, for example, that a technology park with Microsoft offices was hit today.

But it is still slanted coverage, appearing as if Israel still has a huge upper hand.

Here are some clips from Telegram that you probably will not see from the censored Zionist media. This is also on our Bitchute channel.

Forty-five percent of China’s oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz

From TRT Global:

China warns of ‘nightmare scenario’ if Iranian government forced to collapse

In a video interview with TRT World, Einar Tangen, senior fellow at the Beijing-based Taihe Institute and founder of Asia Narratives, described the prospect of the Iranian government’s fall as a “nightmare scenario” for Beijing.

“Forty-five percent of China’s oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz,” Tangen said. “Regional chaos and disrupted oil flows would have a huge impact on China’s energy lifeline and strategic interests. Beyond that, it would create a massive power vacuum and threaten China’s Belt and Road investments across the region.”

China purchases about 90 percent of Iran’s oil exports. Full article.

IDF chief says Israelis must prepare for ‘prolonged campaign’ against Iran

I wonder how much longer the Israelis are going to put up with the propaganda as they hunker down in bomb shelters every day as bombs continue to rain down throughout Israel?

In my opinion, regime change is more likely in Israel than Iran, as Israelis will soon demand Netanyahu’s head.

From Times of Israel:

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir says Israelis must prepare for a “prolonged campaign” against Iran, in order to “eliminate a threat of this magnitude.”

In a video statement, Zamir says that Iran has been “building for years a clear plan to destroy the State of Israel” and that in recent months, “the plan reached the point of no return, where the capabilities reached operational capability.”

“We launched the campaign when Iran possessed around 2,500 ground-to-ground missiles, with a high production rate, such that within approximately two years, they were expected to possess around 8,000 missiles,” he says.

Zamir says Iran’s ballistic missile efforts, proxies in the Middle East, and nuclear advancements, “compelled us to strike and deliver a preemptive blow.”

“The IDF will not stand by and watch as threats develop. As part of an emerging doctrine, we will act proactively and in advance to prevent an existential threat and to face any challenge,” he says.

Zamir continues, “Dear citizens of Israel, alongside the offensive operations, the defense of the home front continues. This is a different challenge from what we have known until now. The enemy, in its weakness, deliberately targets civilians, as we have experienced once again in the recent barrage. Our enemies do not understand that the Israeli home front is the source of the IDF’s strength, not its weakness.”

“We are preparing for a range of possible developments. We have embarked on the most complex campaign in our history. We launched this campaign in order to eliminate a threat of this magnitude, against such an enemy, which requires readiness for a prolonged campaign,” he says.

If the US Targets Iran, Gulf States face a choice

The rich Arab Gulf nations that became rich due to the discovery of oil in the 1960s and its sale to Western nations, have much to lose in this conflict with Iran.

From The Cradle:

As Iran and the occupation state enter direct confrontation, Arab states of the Persian Gulf face unprecedented threats to their security, sovereignty, and energy lifelines.

The rapidly escalating war between Iran and Israel has catapulted the Persian Gulf states into a vortex of geopolitical peril. Situated on strategic terrain and hosting a dense network of US military installations, these states are acutely aware that any US decision to join the warfront will obliterate their already-fragile neutrality. Their territories would then morph into frontline targets.

As the US-backed Israeli war on Iran escalates, the Persian Gulf monarchies are attempting a delicate balancing act – preserving security, safeguarding energy exports, and sidestepping an open-ended war that could raze vital sectors like aviation and desalination. Yet, they remain ensnared in a tightening web of regional alignments and strategic dependencies that leave little room for maneuver.

Diplomatic overtures amid firestorms

In the immediate aftermath of Tel Aviv’s 13 June strike on Iranian nuclear and military sites, Gulf capitals scrambled to project a posture of de-escalation. Saudi Arabia launched a flurry of diplomatic engagements with European and regional capitals – from Berlin and Brussels to Amman and Baghdad – urging restraint.

Qatar followed suit with calls to Ankara, Rome, and Ottawa, while the UAE coordinated with Paris, Islamabad, and Budapest. Even traditionally passive Kuwait and neutral Oman sought Turkiye’s assistance to cool regional temperatures.

A joint declaration from 20 Arab and Islamic states, including all six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members, denounced any targeting of nuclear facilities and reiterated calls for a denuclearized region. Symbolic gestures followed: The UAE waived visa fines for Iranian residents, and Riyadh expedited the return of Iranian pilgrims.

Yet, the most forceful regional voice came from Qatar’s former prime minister, Hamad bin Jassim, who warned that Iran’s collapse would unleash uncontainable chaos. He urged Persian Gulf rulers to pressure Washington to “immediately halt the Israeli madness” and prevent the region from descending into full-scale war.

Many Jews in Iran Oppose Zionism and Support the Iranian Regime

Most Americans are totally unaware that there is a strong Jewish community in Iran, with roots that go back thousands of years, back to the days of Daniel and Esther.

Here is a good report from the Jewish publication Forward about how the current conflict is affecting them.

As Israel attacks, what is life like for Jews in Iran?

The Islamic Republic is home to a longstanding Jewish community.

Iran is an Islamic state known for its hostility to Israel. The country is also home to a longstanding Jewish community, with at least a dozen active synagogues in the capital city of Tehran, mikvahs, kosher butchers, a Jewish library, and even a Jewish newspaper.

As Israel and Iran exchange missile attacks, what explains this contradiction between seemingly robust Iranian Jewish life and the mass exodus of Jews from the country after 1979?

Jews in Iran enjoy a sizable number of Jewish cultural and religious institutions and can practice their religion freely, Sternfeld said.

Jews even have required governmental representation. The Iranian Parliament, or the Majles, has a reserved seat for a Jewish member enshrined in the constitution, alongside reserved seats for other religious minorities: two seats for Armenians, one for Zoroastrians, and one for Assyrians.

The current Jewish representative is Homayoun Sameh, who was elected in 2020.

“Practicing religion is not a problem. Iranian Jews have a harder time practicing other civil rights that are more connected to the political situation than religious freedoms,” Sternfeld said.

Sternfeld emphasized that these limitations are not necessarily specifically targeted at Jews, but rather all non-Muslims.

“It’s not just Jews being singled out,” he said. “It’s all recognized religious minorities.”

So why do Jews in Iran stay? According to Sternfeld, many Iranian Jews feel deeply rooted in the country, with family ties stretching back thousands of years.

“Iranian Jews are Iranians, right? This is their home,” Sternfeld said. “They can leave if they want. They choose to be there.”

From King Ahasuerus to the Ayatollah

Jews have a long history in Persia, dating back to biblical times. Most notably, the story of Purim is set in Persia, with King Ahasuerus ruling over the Persian Empire — and deciding not to issue a decree to kill all his Jewish subjects after Queen Esther saved the day.

Modern times have had their own share of dramatic turns for Persian Jews, if not quite as storybook. The Pahlavi dynasty, beginning in 1925, marked a golden age for the Jews of Persia. Reza Shah Pahlavi prohibited the mass conversion of Jews to Islam, allowed Jews to hold government jobs, and permitted Hebrew to be taught in Jewish schools.

The Shah even prayed in a synagogue he visited in the Jewish community of Isfahan, which many interpreted as a symbolic gesture of solidarity. Pahlavi also declared in 1935 that Persia would be henceforth known as Iran — the name its citizens had long used internally.

How do Jews living in Iran feel about the current conflict?

Following Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iran, Homayoun Sameh — the sole Jewish representative in Iran’s parliament — told state-run media that the attacks on Iran proved the Jewish state to be a “savage, child-killing regime.” He urged Iran to respond in a manner that would be “unforgettable.”

Other Jewish leaders in Iran also issued statements.

“The Zionists’ brutality, which is far from any human morality and has caused the martyrdom of a number of our beloved compatriots, including innocent children, has hurt all of our hearts,”

the Jewish Association and Community of Isfahan told state-run media.
