Israel Launches Major Strikes Across Iran; Dozens of IRGC Commanders Killed<\/h3>\n

\"\"The Israeli forces launched extensive airstrikes on multiple strategic and military targets across Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan, Natanz, and Hamadan. Explosions were reported near Mehrabad Airport, IRGC command centers, radar installations, and nuclear facilities, with footage showing intense fires and smoke in various districts of the capital. At least 78 people were reported killed and over 320 injured in Iran, including senior IRGC commanders such as Hossein Salami, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, and Gholamali Rashid. In retaliation, the Iranian regime fired more than 400 missiles and drones toward Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, reportedly resulting in several deaths and injuries. The IRGC officially claimed responsibility for the strikes.<\/p>\n

Amid the unfolding conflict, global powers responded with urgency. The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency session at Iran\u2019s request. U.S. officials confirmed military support to Israel in intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles, with American destroyers and an aircraft carrier strike group deployed to the region. French President Macron warned Iran was nearing a nuclear weapons threshold, while Germany, the UK, and Japan condemned the escalation. The Iranian regime\u2019s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, appointed new commanders after the reported deaths of top military leaders and vowed severe retaliation. Meanwhile, economic markets reacted sharply: oil prices surged by nearly 9% and the Iranian rial plummeted.<\/p>\n

Iranian Dissident Group Reveals Regime\u2019s Covert \u2018Desert Plan\u2019 Nuclear Bomb Program<\/h3>\n

\"breitbart<\/p>\n

Iranian opposition group NCRI has unveiled explosive new evidence alleging that Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program has resumed under the direct supervision of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, representing a serious escalation with far-reaching implications for global stability and regional security.<\/p>\n

In a Tuesday press conference, Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)\u2019s Washington Office, detailed findings from the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK), exposing Iran\u2019s clandestine Kavir Plan \u2014 a covert nuclear weapons program disguised as satellite-launching missile research.<\/p>\n

Demonizing the Struggle of a People Who Resist<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

A petty neighborhood thief used to complain about why, after every robbery, the police would come straight to him and search his house \u2014 yet the stolen goods were always found right there.\u00a0In his biweekly newsletter for La Repubblica<\/em>, Francesco De Leo once again echoed slanders against the main organization of the Iranian Resistance, the People\u2019s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI\/MEK). Apparently, it\u2019s no longer enough to portray the Iranian theocracy through De Leo\u2019s lens, painting it as almost democratic. That is no longer sufficient for a regime facing an ever-deepening crisis.<\/p>\n

De Leo was recently \u201cauthorized by the regime to follow a day of parliamentary proceedings\u201d in Iran. But what must one do to receive such a rare favor from such a secretive regime \u2014 one that suppresses freedoms and has turned Iran into the world\u2019s largest prison for journalists?<\/p>\n

One must contribute to demonizing the opposition to the theocratic regime \u2014 especially its most feared adversary, the People\u2019s Mojahedin \u2014 by parroting the regime\u2019s propaganda.<\/p>\n

IAEA Report and NCRI Expos\u00e9 Unmask Tehran\u2019s Nuclear Weapons Deception<\/h3>\n

\"IAEA<\/p>\n

The facade is crumbling. The latest International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors meeting has officially cornered the Iranian regime, exposing its contradictory statements and defiant lies on the world stage.<\/p>\n

But this is more than just another diplomatic showdown. A bombshell revelation by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on June 10, 2025, unmasking the secret \u201cKavir Plan,\u201d provides the missing context. It proves that the regime\u2019s panic at the IAEA is a desperate attempt to shield an active, clandestine nuclear weapons program ordered by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei himself.<\/p>\n

The combination of the IAEA\u2019s factual reporting and the detailed intelligence from the Resistance network inside Iran leaves no room for doubt: the clerical regime\u2019s nuclear program has always been a military project, and its diplomacy is nothing but a tool of deception.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
