According to regime-linked Telegram channel <em>Chand Saniyeh<\/em>, missile defense systems were active across central and eastern Tehran. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/nournews.ir\/fa\/news\/229502\">Noor News confirmed<\/a><\/em> renewed anti-aircraft activity after a 15-hour lull.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Israeli military, as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/idf-hits-isfahan-nuclear-site-for-2nd-time-iran-fires-5-missiles-in-overnight-barrage\/\">cited by <em>Times of Israel<\/em><\/a>, said Iran had launched five ballistic missiles with no confirmed hits. In contrast, the Iranian regime, through <em>Tasnim News Agency<\/em>, claimed extensive drone and missile attacks on Israeli military infrastructure, including Ben Gurion Airport and airbases such as Nevatim and Hatzerim. The IRGC announced this as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.entekhab.ir\/fa\/news\/872491\">eighteenth wave<\/a> of retaliation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Israel, for its part, confirmed a targeted strike on a residential building in Qom\u2019s Salarieh neighborhood that resulted in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/iran-israel-launch-new-attacks-after-tehran-rules-out-nuclear-talks-2025-06-21\/\">death of Mohammad Saeed Izadi<\/a>, a senior Quds Force commander overseeing operations in the Palestinian territories. Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said Izadi played a critical role in planning and coordinating the October 7 attacks and was head of the so-called &#8220;Abu Jihad Unit&#8221; responsible for external operations. Iranian media, however, presented <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mashreghnews.ir\/photo\/1725767\">conflicting reports<\/a> \u2014 highlighting the death of a 16-year-old, identified as Ehsan Ghasemi, with no official confirmation of Izadi\u2019s death by the IRGC.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Iran said that it would not discuss the future of its nuclear program while under attack by Israel as European efforts to coax Tehran back into negotiations showed little sign of progress <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BZm93AS8oq\">https:\/\/t.co\/BZm93AS8oq<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uWTI4fY7qF\">pic.twitter.com\/uWTI4fY7qF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Reuters (@Reuters) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Reuters\/status\/1936285449762332820?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 21, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The war&#8217;s physical toll inside Iran is now undeniable. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasnimnews.com\/fa\/news\/1404\/03\/30\/3338592\">Tasnim confirmed<\/a><\/em> Israeli drone strikes on IRGC facilities in Bostanabad, resulting in casualties. While official numbers were not disclosed, images from regime outlets show extensive damage. Other regime-linked channels confirmed direct hits in District 3 of Tehran and visual confirmation of plumes of smoke rising over Lavizan.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Meanwhile, Israeli airstrikes reached new depths inside Iran. <em><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-palestinians-iran-war-latest-06-20-2025-7c3307c446da24fb8f8ac038e93b9b85\">AP reported<\/a><\/em> air raids on an industrial complex in Rasht and the first confirmed strikes on the Lavizan military district in northern Tehran.

Though the site was not active at the time, the agency acknowledged structural impact. Iranian authorities quickly denounced the strike but omitted the IAEA&#8217;s role in verifying damage in regime outlets.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Domestically, Iran has ramped up internal propaganda and security.

Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasnimnews.com\/fa\/news\/1404\/03\/30\/3338693\/\">quoted by Tasnim<\/a> while in Istanbul, claimed there had been \u201cno contact\u201d with American officials and labeled the U.S. a \u201cpartner in Israeli aggression.\u201d However, behind this rhetoric, he confirmed that European governments and the EU foreign policy chief had initiated talks scheduled for Geneva, focused on nuclear and regional issues. Araghchi insisted that the regime\u2019s missile program \u2014 central to its military escalation \u2014 is off the table, calling it \u201cdefensive\u201d and \u201cnon-negotiable,\u201d a framing widely seen as an attempt to shield the regime\u2019s arsenal from scrutiny under the guise of sovereignty.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Inside Iran, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/middle-east\/hundreds-us-citizens-left-iran-last-week-state-dept-cable-says-2025-06-20\/\">Reuters reported<\/a><\/em> that hundreds of American citizens left the country overland in the past week. Many faced delays and harassment, and two were reportedly detained. This has unfolded amid increasing digital restrictions.
