Iran says Israeli aggression destabilizing region in UAE call

UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian held a phone call on Tuesday to address growing regional tensions, particularly those involving Iran. The conversation comes at a time of heightened instability and continued aggression in the region.

During the call, Mohammed bin Zayed emphasized that the UAE has begun broad consultations aimed at reducing tensions and restoring regional peace and stability.

Israeli aggression main destabilizing factor

President Pezeshkian, meanwhile, squarely placed responsibility for the ongoing unrest on Israeli policies and the unwavering Western support behind them. He stated that "the region will never witness peace so long as Israeli crimes persist and are shielded by Western powers."

Pezeshkian further noted that Iran had engaged in indirect negotiations with the United States in pursuit of stability, but these efforts were undermined by "Israel's" continued aggression, which targeted Iranian civilians.

He stressed, "We have worked to build stronger cooperation with other nations, but Israel has persistently attempted to sabotage these efforts from the very beginning, starting with the assassination of martyr Haniyeh."

‘Israel’ targets civilians in Tehran

The emergency department at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini hospital was hit by a surge of injuries late Sunday night following direct Israeli airstrikes on the city. Medical staff described the aftermath as a “bloodbath” as victims from nearby blasts overwhelmed the facility.

“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds, and even bodies were brought in,” one doctor, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Guardian.

The Israeli war on Iran, now entering its fifth day, has rapidly overwhelmed the medical infrastructure in the capital. Doctors and nurses face an unrelenting stream of wounded patients amid continuing attacks, forcing some hospitals to redirect non-critical patients to other facilities.

The operation marks a significant milestone in Iran's efforts to repel the ongoing military aggression launched by the Israeli occupation and its foreign backers.

Iran reports shooting down 28 types of hostile aircraft in 24 hours

The Islamic Republic of Iran's Army announced Tuesday that its integrated air defense network successfully detected, intercepted, and brought down 28 different types of hostile aircraft over a 24-hour period.

According to the armed forces statement, the drones shot down include a Hermes 900 drone.

The operation marks a significant milestone in Iran's efforts to repel the ongoing military aggression launched by the Israeli occupation and its foreign backers.

The Iranian Armed Forces, supported by the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), have remained on high alert following an unprovoked Israeli aerial assault that martyred civilians, nuclear scientists, and senior defense officials. Since then, Iran has exercised its right to self-defense under international law, launching measured and strategic retaliatory strikes targeting military installations deep inside occupied Palestinian territory.

Despite claims by Israeli officials of controlling Iranian airspace, the Iranian response, both through precision missile strikes and advanced air defense interceptions, exposes the limits of such propaganda. Tehran has also reported widespread explosions and heavy anti-aircraft fire overnight, underscoring the intensity of its defense operations.

The Iranian Health Ministry has confirmed at least 224 martyrs and hundreds wounded since the beginning of the Israeli aggression. In response, authorities have activated full emergency protocols across the country's hospitals, suspending all medical leave and ensuring uninterrupted care for the injured.

While Iran continues to absorb and repel Israeli and US-backed attacks, US President Donald Trump reiterated his provocative rhetoric on Tuesday, insisting that "IRAN CAN NOT HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON" and calling for mass evacuation from Tehran, a statement seen as fear-mongering and psychological warfare. Trump's remarks came after he abruptly left the G7 summit, further fueling speculation about possible US military escalation in the region.

European officials have warned of the dire consequences of any direct US intervention. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas cautioned that such a move would "definitely drag the region into a broader conflict," confirming that Secretary of State Marco Rubio privately conveyed Washington's desire to avoid deeper entanglement.

Iran, however, is not waiting on outside actors. The IRGC confirmed that a new and more powerful wave of missiles has been launched at strategic Zionist targets. A senior Iranian commander stressed that successive drone strikes will follow until the aggression stops and accountability is achieved.

Israeli airstrike kills 3 Iranian Red Crescent workers as ambulance targeted in Tehran; over 90% of casualties are civilians, including children, as attacks on hospitals mount. Iran slams violations as war crimes.

Israeli strike kills 3 Red Crescent workers in Tehran
The Iranian Red Crescent Society announced on Tuesday that three of its relief workers were martyred in an Israeli airstrike that targeted their ambulance during emergency operations in Tehran. The attack took place on Monday, as the crew responded to casualties from an earlier round of Israeli aggression on the Iranian capital.

According to the Red Crescent’s official statement, the ambulance had been dispatched to evacuate injured civilians when it was struck directly by Israeli aircraft. The organization confirmed that the latest casualties bring the total number of Red Crescent workers killed since the beginning of the Israeli aggression to four.

The incident follows earlier reports from Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, which had already warned of a pattern of direct targeting of Iranian relief personnel. On June 14, two Red Crescent workers were killed and five others injured in an Israeli strike on the Asadabad area in western Iran.

The targeted attacks on medical and humanitarian personnel have drawn condemnation from human rights observers and sparked renewed calls for accountability under international humanitarian law. The deliberate targeting of ambulances and relief teams constitutes a clear violation of the Geneva Conventions, which protect medical workers in conflict zones.

Civilians main target

The emergency department at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini hospital was hit by a surge of injuries late Sunday night following direct Israeli airstrikes on the city. Medical staff described the aftermath as a “bloodbath” as victims from nearby blasts overwhelmed the facility.

“It was a bloodbath. We were overwhelmed by chaos and the screams of grieving family members. Dozens upon dozens of people with life-threatening injuries, minor wounds, and even bodies were brought in,” one doctor, speaking on condition of anonymity, told The Guardian.

‘The US will have to drop at least 6 GBU-57 aerial bombs on Fordow’ – CNN is already discussing the attack on the Iranian nuclear facility.

- One of Iran’s nuclear facilities is located deep under a mountain. The US has the ability to hit it with special bombs. Tell us how it works.

- This is probably the most powerful non-nuclear weapon in the world – the GBU-57. It is capable of penetrating about 60 meters of fortified structures. The problem with Fordow is that, as far as I understand, some of the facilities may be located at a depth of more than 90 meters. Nevertheless, this is a huge bomb – about 2.3 tons of explosives, the entire weight is about 13.6 tons. The only means of delivery is a B-2 strategic bomber. As I mentioned, it is about 5,600 kilometers from the target. This is an incredibly effective weapon. I had such weapons in Afghanistan – we used them several times, and they showed excellent results. But the question is whether it can penetrate deep enough to reach all the centrifuges. I think we might need at least half a dozen of these to have the desired effect at Fordow.

“This is not our war.”

Republican Congressman Thomas Massie has introduced a resolution to prevent the Trump administration from involving the United States in Israel's ongoing war on Iran.

“Even if it were [our war], Congress must decide such matters according to our Constitution."

What is completely baffling is that there is no mention in MSM that attacks on nuclear facilities are a violation of international law. For a simple reason: attacking a nuclear plant will likely result in causing major radioactive leaks, or worse, affecting whole regions.

• Israel Takes Out Iran’s New Wartime Chief Of Staff Days After Killing His Predecessor:

Israel has claimed to have killed Iran’s new wartime chief of staff General Ali Shadmani just days after taking out his predecessor.

This comes as Israel and Iran continue to exchange fire as explosions have been heard in Tehran, and state media has reported that air defences have been activated in the west of the capital.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says it has hit Israel’s military intelligence directorate and an operational centre of the country’s military intelligence agency, Mossad.

Israel is refusing to let Americans with dual citizenship leave the country. Here's the devil's logic of this according to Breaking Points.

1. Israel attacks Iran.
   
   
2. Iran counter attack Israel.
   
   
3. Some Americans trapped in Israel, die in the attacks.
   
   
4. Israel cries "Look, Iran killed Americans."
   
   
5. Israel escalate war against Iran.

Iran's Ballistic Missiles HIT Mossad HQ, Tel Aviv PARALYZED as Trump Readies BIG War

(25:57)
Danny Haiphong comments on today's updates.

"Iran's targets just got more serious as reports surface of ballistic missiles slamming into Israel's Mossad at various locations around Tel Aviv. Meanwhile, US president Donald Trump is setting into motion war preparations which have the entire world on high alert. This update analyzes the significance of these developments as the situation globally intensifies."

One of the comments underneath the video caught my eye:

"War criminal Netanyahu, sits in Greece like a coward, while his country takes direct hits. The chickens have come home to roost."

On checking with chatgpt:

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s official aircraft, nicknamed the “Wing of Zion,” landed in Greek airspace—specifically around Athens—on June 13, 2025, likely as a precautionary security measure during the escalation with Iran
greekcitytimes.com

However:

No official confirmation has emerged that Netanyahu himself was on board or actually in Greece. Media reports note that “it was not clear whether Netanyahu or any of his family was on the plane”

My guess is that he and his family have left Israel for the above reasons, destination unknown. What a hypocrite given that Israeli civilians aren't being allowed to leave.
