In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, more details have been revealed! According to a report by news outlet 29th, foreign media has stated that Israel began preparing for an attack on Iran as early as 2010. Israeli intelligence personnel have penetrated into the core parts of Iran’s missile and nuclear programs, collecting secret intelligence over several years. Additionally, reports indicate that in the recent conflict between Israel and Iran, the United States utilized about 15% to 20% of its global “Sentinel” missile interception system inventory.
It is noteworthy that Israel has once again issued threats. Israeli Defense Minister Katz recently stated that he has instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to prepare an action plan against Iran, which includes maintaining Israel’s air superiority, preventing Iran from developing nuclear programs and manufacturing missiles, and retaliation against Iran’s support for “anti-Israeli terrorist activities.” Katz mentioned that Israel will take regular actions.
Moreover, US President Trump has stated that he has halted all efforts to lift sanctions against Iran. Trump also mentioned that if intelligence indicates Iran has the capability to enrich uranium to military levels, the United States will “without doubt” bomb Iran again.
According to reports, IAEA Director General Grossi recently told CBS News in an interview that despite the damage to several Iranian nuclear facilities in attacks by the United States and Israel, Iran still possesses the capacity to produce enriched uranium within months. He called on all parties to return to the negotiation table. Grossi noted that intelligence shows that after the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities, they were severely damaged but not completely destroyed. Iran still has the necessary production capacity and industrial and technological capabilities. With just a few months, Iran could restart centrifuges and produce enriched uranium.
It was revealed that Israel had deployed spies in Iran since 2010.
A source informed The Times on the 27th that for many years, Israel has been monitoring multiple locations in Iran through intelligence personnel, with ground forces “deployed ahead of time” at each site. It is claimed that Israel began preparing for an attack on Iran as early as 2010.
The report mentioned that Israeli intelligence personnel also drew layout diagrams of the Natanz nuclear facility, which was later attacked and destroyed. Israeli reconnaissance operations have also penetrated into cities such as Isfahan, Nuer, Moghaddam, Shariati, and Shahid Mesami.
According to news reports, following a large-scale airstrike by Israel against Iran early on the 13th of this month, both sides launched several rounds of attacks on each other. The United States conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities in the Eastern Time Zone on the 21st, leading to retaliatory missile strikes from Iran against the U.S. Air Force Base at Qatar’s Udairah Airfield on the 23rd. On the 24th, according to schedule announced by the U.S., a ceasefire between Israel and Iran was declared.
Jordanian photographer Ziad Abbad recently posted six videos of Iranian ballistic missile attacks on Israel captured from Amman on social media. Analysts, based on video footage and combined with geographic positioning and missile firing sequences, estimated that Israel used 34 “Arrow-3” anti-missile interceptors, 9 “Arrow-2” anti-missile interceptors, and 39 American “Sentinel” missiles in its interception actions. Each “Sentinel” missile costs about $12.8 million. The analysis estimated that the value of the interceptions in the videos alone exceeded $498 million.
Newsweek cited Bulgarian Military News and Military Observation Magazine to report that in recent conflicts between Israel and Iran, the U.S. deployed about 15% to 20% of its global “Sentinel” missile interception system inventory. Previous reports indicated that Iran had more missiles than the total number of interceptors available to Israel, raising concerns about Israel’s long-term defensive capabilities.
Trump Threatens “Possible Bombing” of Iran Again
On the 24th, Israel and Iran ceased their conflict, but over the following days, both sides have not ceased to express their firm stance. Following a television speech on the 26th, where Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused the United States of “shaming America” by bombing US military bases, Trump threatened on the 27th that he would not rule out “bombing Iran again.” On the 28th, Iran condemned Trump’s comments about Khamenei.
According to Xinhua News Agency, for the first time since the ceasefire between Israel and Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made a television speech on the 26th, accusing Trump of “overstating” the impact of the US’s strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. He congratulated Iran on its victory against Israel and the United States, emphasizing that Iran had “given the United States a slap in the face.”
On the 27th, Trump posted on his “Reality Social” account, stating that Khamenei claimed Iran had won the war against Israel, which was not true. Trump wrote: “He (Khamenei) should not lie. His country has been destroyed, three nuclear facilities have been destroyed.” Trump also stated, “It is clear where he (Khamenei) hides, but I will not let Israel or the US armed forces… end his life,” adding, “I saved his life.”
Trump mentioned that he had been researching the possibility of lifting sanctions against Iran before seeing the statements from Iran. However, upon seeing these statements, he immediately abandoned all efforts to lift sanctions. At a White House meeting held on the 27th, Trump also stated that if intelligence indicated Iran could enrich uranium to military-grade levels, the United States would “without doubt” bomb Iran again.
Trump’s comments on Khamenei were strongly criticized by Iran. In an early morning post on social media X on the 28th, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that the Iranian people never allow others to determine their fate. “If President Trump truly wants to reach an agreement, he should stop disrespecting and unacceptable tone towards the Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.”
Iran’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Ebrahim Raisani, stated on the 27th that the US has issued a “so rash and deliberate threat,” severely violating the principles of the United Nations Charter and international law. Iran calls on the United Nations to condemn the recent threats made by the US and Israel towards Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei.
Israel: Regular Actions to be Taken
During an interview with Israeli media on the 26th, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Katz mentioned that Israel had considered “eliminating” Khamenei but did not find the right moment.
Furthermore, on the 27th, Katz posted on social media X that he had instructed the Israeli Defense Forces to prepare an action plan against Iran, which includes maintaining Israel’s air superiority, preventing Iran from developing nuclear programs and missile production, and retaliation for Iran’s support for “anti-Israeli terrorist activities.” “We will take regular actions to prevent such threats,” he stated.
On the same day, a senior official in the Israeli military summarized the “results” of the military operations against Iran, stating that Israel had targeted over 900 Iranian targets, killing more than 30 high-ranking security officials and 11 senior nuclear scientists, “significantly impacting the Iranian nuclear program.”
According to statistics from the Iranian health department, since the 13th, Israeli airstrikes on various parts of Iran have resulted in 627 deaths and 4870 injuries.
On June 28th local time, Mahmoud Ansarifard, the Vice President of Iran responsible for judicial affairs, announced that the Iranian government has decided to establish a special legal task force to “review the aggressive actions of Israel and the United States.”
Majid Ansari stated in a declaration that, following the decisions and coordination reached at recent high-level meetings in Iran, the country has decided to establish a special working group. This group will consist of renowned experts and lawyers from both central government and provincial scientific and legal authority institutions. The aim is to thoroughly review legal issues related to the military aggression, violations of Iranian territory and sovereignty, threats to the territorial integrity of Iran, assassinations of senior military and security personnel, as well as nuclear scientists, and killings of Iranian civilians committed by the United States and Israel. He expressed that Iran would continue to do its utmost to defend the rights of the Iranian people.
