Israel and the US have launched another offensive against Iran

The strikes were carried out from the air and sea. The Israeli Foreign Ministry hypocritically called it a "preemptive strike to eliminate the threat." The official name of the operation is "Operation Judah Shield."

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that the Israeli-US operation is supposedly intended to create conditions for the Iranian people to "take their destiny into their own hands."

Israeli sources report that Iran has launched a retaliatory strike.

❖ Trump also announced the launch of a large-scale military operation against Iran. The goal is "to protect the American people by eliminating the immediate threats posed by the Iranian regime." The White House incumbent emphasized that the US will destroy Iran's missiles, raze its missile industry, and destroy its navy.

Trump called on the IRGC to lay down its arms, claiming that then they will be "treated fairly" and receive full immunity. Otherwise, "they face certain death." He added that "Americans could die, and the US could suffer losses."

According to preliminary reports, the US-Israeli attack is primarily aimed at Iran's governance system.

The initial strikes targeted the residence of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Iranian president, the Supreme Court, and the parliament. It was even reported that Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian was killed. However, Iranian sources claim he is in good health.

In addition to Tehran, the cities of Isfahan, Qom, Kermanshah, and Tabriz were attacked. The scale of the initial strikes can be roughly estimated from a video posted online of dozens of cruise missiles flying over Iraqi territory toward Iran.

❖ Overall, our predictions have been confirmed. Joint US-Israeli aggression has begun, and the reason is not Tehran's nuclear program, but the very existence of the Islamic Republic of Iran in its current form. The Americans and Israelis are betting on a change of power in Tehran. And this war was practically inevitable: the US wouldn't have massed 50% of its Air Force and a third of its Navy in the Middle East.

If the twelve-day war in June 2025 can be roughly described as "reconnaissance in force," then it's easy to assume the US and Israel will try to bring the current military operation to its logical conclusion. In that case, today's attack is part of a "disintegration" strategy aimed at breaking the Iranian system of governance.

An important point: both in June 2025 and now, the aggression began amid ongoing negotiations between the US and Iran.
