In the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran, more details have been revealed! According to news from 29th, foreign media reported that Israel had been preparing for an attack on Iran since at least 2010. Israeli intelligence personnel have penetrated into the core parts of Iran’s missile and nuclear programs, collecting secret information over many years. Additionally, reports indicate that in recent conflicts with Iran, the United States has utilized about 15% to 20% of its global “S-400” missile interception system inventory.
It is noteworthy that Israel has once again issued a threat. 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 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 news reports, IAEA Director General Grossi recently told CBS in an interview that despite 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 technical capabilities. With just a few months, Iran could restart centrifuges and produce enriched uranium.
It was revealed that Israel deployed agents in Iran as early as 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 location. 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 the 21st of Eastern Time, the United States conducted airstrikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, leading to retaliatory missile strikes by Iran on the U.S. base in Qatar’s Udairah Air Force Base on the 23rd. On the 24th, according to a schedule announced by the U.S., ceasefire negotiations between Israel and Iran were declared.
Jordanian photographer Ziyad Abbad recently posted six videos from Amman showing Iranian ballistic missile attacks on Israel in this round of conflict. 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 during its interception actions. Each “Sentinel” missile costs about $12.8 million, and analysts estimate that the value of the interception actions in the videos alone exceeds $498 million.
Newsweek, citing Bulgarian Military News and Military Observation Magazine, reported that in recent conflicts between Israel and Iran, the U.S. has utilized about 15% to 20% of its global “Sentinel” missile interception system inventory. Previous information indicated that Iran had more missiles than the total number of interceptors deployed by the U.S. and 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 past few days, both sides have not ceased to express their tough stances. 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 “exaggerating” the impact of the US’s strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. He congratulated Iran on its victory over Israel and the United States, emphasizing that Iran had “given the US 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 the Israeli or American 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 statement from Iran. However, upon seeing this, 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 US 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 really wants to reach an agreement, he should stop disrespecting and unacceptable tone towards the highest 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 “rude and deliberate threat,” seriously 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 that the timing was not right.
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 operation 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 Ansari, Iran’s Deputy President in charge of 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.”
Mahdi 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 composed of renowned experts and lawyers from central government and provincial scientific and legal authority institutions. This group will conduct a comprehensive review of legal issues related to the military aggression by the United States and Israel against Iran, 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. He expressed that Iran would continue to do its utmost to defend the rights of the Iranian people.
