A banner on a building in Tehran in Farsi reads: We Are All Soldiers of Iran
Alex MacDonald – Middle East Eye June 22, 2025
The US launched a surprise bombing attack on three Iranian nuclear facilities late on Saturday, bringing America directly into Israel’s war against the Islamic Republic.
Donald Trump said the air strikes had “completely and totally obliterated” the Fordow, Natanz and the Isfahan sites, in an effort to disable the Islamic Republic’s nuclear enrichment capability.
As of 11am GMT, it remained unclear whether the Fordow plant, buried deep under a mountain and protected by anti-aircraft batteries, was partially or completely destroyed.
Al Jazeera Arabic reported that Washington had notified Tehran in advance of the strikes, and that the targeted sites were evacuated.
Meanwhile, Amwaj Media, citing an Iranian political source, reported that “most” of Iran’s stockpile of enriched uranium were kept in secure locations outside of the three targeted areas.
Iran has threatened to retaliate against the American attacks, and on Sunday issued a warning that “every American soldier and citizen in the region is a legitimate target”.
With the situation still developing, Middle East Eye takes a look at what options are on the table for Iran.
Attacks on US assets
The US has a range of military bases across the Middle East.
Key bases are located in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Syria, Bahrain and Iraq.
Following the strikes on Iran, a commentator on Iran’s IRIB state broadcaster said that every American citizen and soldier in the region was a “legitimate target” and aired a map showing US bases in the region.
“You started it and we’ll finish it,” he said.
Kuwait’s finance ministry said on Sunday that it had set up shelters in the country’s ministries complex.
The shelters can accommodate around 900 people, the ministry said in a statement on X.
Withdraw from Non-Proliferation Treaty
The US attack on Iran has led some Iranian lawmakers to call for withdrawing from the Non-Proliferation Treaty, which promotes disarmament and the use of peaceful nuclear energy.
Parliament foreign policy committee head Abbas Golroo said in a statement on X on Sunday that the US strikes on Iran gave the country the legal right to withdraw from the treaty based on Article 10.
Article 10 postulates that an NPT member has “the right to withdraw from the Treaty if it decides that extraordinary events have jeopardised the supreme interests of its country”.
Only one country has withdrawn from the NPT before, which was North Korea in 2003.
Iran’s regional neighbours Pakistan and India, as well as Israel, are not parties to the NPT and have nuclear weapons, though Israel has refused to confirm it publicly.
Block the Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz is a key shipping lane for international trade and is a “chokepoint” for nearly a fifth of the world’s daily oil flows.
Iran has previously threatened it could close the lane in response to a US attack and on Sunday a representative for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said the move should be swiftly taken.
“It is now our turn to act without delay,” said Hossein Shariatmadari, according to state media.
“As a first step, we must launch a missile strike on the US naval fleet in Bahrain and simultaneously close the Strait of Hormuz to American, British, German and French ships.”
A move to close the strait could have a destructive effect on the global economy, which has already been struggling in the wake of Trump’s tariff policies and Israel’s attacks in the Middle East.
“Ya’ll ready for extremely high inflation so that America can pretend it can knock out Iran’s nuclear programme?” wrote macroeconomist Philip Pilkington on X.
Mobilisation of proxies
A range of Iran-backed armed groups in a number of countries including Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon are also likely to retaliate against US assets in the region.
An official from Yemen’s Houthis said on Sunday that the group’s response to US attacks on Iran was “only a matter of time”.
Many of the groups had already been involved in small-scale attacks on Israeli and US targets since the beginning of the war on Gaza in October 2023.
The Zainabiyoun Brigade, an armed Pakistani group founded by Iran to fight in the Syrian civil war, issued a statement stating its readiness to engage in the war against Israeli and American targets.
“Your blood is our blood. Our hearts, souls and minds stand with you. Know that the people of Pakistan stand shoulder to shoulder with you,” said the statement, adding it was prepared to target US assets in Pakistan.
These people who go on about, what was it? Anti gravity something or others, and AI being alive, and space lasers, and holographic somethings, and green lizards from neptune. Are you all nuts? Or just old men who don’t understand anything more complicated than a petrol engine? Or igan/icke fanatics that believe everything they say? Even jones makes more sense (if you switch nazi for jew).
I’ve met loads of people who, when they say, for example, “computers were made from bits of flying saucers captured in the 50s and stored in area 42”, refuse to even look at the endless documentation detailing every step of the development of computers over decades by thousands of people spread throughout the world, because it goes against the “it all comes from the hand of the first terminator” fiction. Why do you do that? Really?
I’m genuinely not trying to mock you. I really want to know…
LOL..
A picture is better than a thousand words… the image above tells you more about the whirled than any hack scrawl..
the Iranians are obviously behind the curve and still using mid 20th century propaganda to mind control their muggles..nowadays in the so called west, they can’t rely on this type of puppetry having thoroughly shit the bed on that one..
no homogenous groups saluting the flag for western imbeciles… they have to be herded more overtly with frightening tales about losing their demockracy and being irradiated by men in turbans jealous of their freedumbs…
even though the creatures heading up what passes for their nations have piled in hundreds of millions of lol ‘terrorists’ given them welfare, free dental and credit cards to prop up their ponzi..
dear dear… what abject imbeciles..
A better response by Iran would be to ignore Amerika for the short-term and instead concentrate its efforts on hammering the country that fomented and initiated all this on Friday 13th. This will bring dividends as the populace get a taste of the realities of war that their eternal PM is so keen to meet out on the often largely defenceless . It could lead to an overthrow of his regime and a replacement by slightly less xenophobic maniacs. Perhaps this is Trump’s desire too ?
By making Izzy pay dearly Iran could actually change the strategic balance of the region, all those lap dog Arab regimes could get emboldened or opportunistic. A nightmare on Knesset Street could rapidly unfold.
However, directly attacking Amerikan ships or bases will only strengthen Benny Netanyahweh’s claw and invite another bigger Trumpian response. You kill a snake by aiming for the head, not the tail.
Morons still can’t figure out Iran is ruled by Donmeh & they’re coordinating everything with Israel/USrael. You’ll see though more & more people & alt news grifters stealing or adopting the world view of Nero, Winston Smith etc..
These so-called “options” are exactly what Iran ought not to do if it wants to survive as a nation with any independence from the same monsters running our nations. If they withdraw from the NPT that is exactly the pretext that the Rothschild stooge nations want. Israel, the US and the UK would quickly justify an all-out war against Iran, and even a nuclear “first strike”. To block the Strait of Hormuz would be another justification for a total war of isolation against Iran. The US would simply bomb all Iranian installations around the Strait to keep it open. Iran would then try to incite unrest all over the Middle East in Islamic nations, both of which options the war-hungry, salivating US wolf at the door of Iran wants desperately to happen.
Iran is unable to stop the genocide of the Palestinian people which has been used to goad them and their own Hamas and Hezbollah proxies into conflict with Israel in order to wipe them out. The people of Iran and their leaders have to wake up to the fact that this conflict has been planned for decades in order to conquer and completely control their nation. They have to realize that their stand to liberate the Palestinian people from the clutches American and Jewish usurpers, although very noble, is not supported by any Islamic nation under that control, and that either by a war against Iran or its total isolation, the West they hate so much simply wins. They have to realize that everything they are doing in using fire against fire is what their enemies want them to do.
They have to appeal to the world through any means they can to get around the Western media, and start proclaiming not a jihad for Islam but freedom of religious choice for all nations, and freedom from religious persecution and from any from of ethic cleansing as seen in the Palestinian territories. They should announce that it is proven they are not interested in having nukes, nor do they want to rain down missiles on any aggressor nation such as Israel. They have to do a better job in highlighting the real reason for the war against Iran which is for the West once again to usurp Iran’s vast resources, and to have control over all sea lanes and trade routes through Iran. They have to do a better job in exposing the absolute stealth and deceit showing that the Greater Israel Project over conquered lands of the Levant will entail the same treatment as all non-Jewish people, both Muslims and Christians, that the people are receiving in the Palestinian territories, and that Iran’s fight against the Western usurpers. Their fight for survival is the fight for the sovereignty of every nation from the insatiable plundering, the massive deceptions, unjust wars, culture cancelling, atheistic social-engineering and anti-family polices, and the ethnic cleansing operations as seen in the West and especially in the occupied territories.
They have to stop responding with hate and threats to kill all Jews and Americans, which is exactly what the Zionists, neocons and banksters of the West want them to do. They have to appeal to a bigger community than just the non-compromised Muslim community of the world, because the decent people of all faiths are absolutely fed up with all of the shit from the thoroughly-evil Western establishment regardless of whether it is Jewish or not. They have to see that they are using the aggression against Iran not just to bring Iran to its knees in a surrender or in a bloody war as with Iraq and Syria, but also to intimidate all free nations and peoples which resist their plans for total domination and control over everything – even their religious beliefs.
Iran is derived from aryan.could this be an allusion to the jews and their hate of the Aryan race?and their desire to kill all Aryans?of course modern ééràànies are not real aryans.as they have no traits, not even remotely,alluding to any superiority.neither spiritual, physical nor intellectual.the jews love reenacting (cosplay)sagas and historical episodes in the modern world.so they can control the outcome.and paint themselves as the eternal victim,der ewige jüde.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wandering_Jew. Another saga wich does concern the Persians is the jüden tale of ester and haman .
A double whammy?a jüdische rassenkrieg against Aryan and Persian ?yes.the jüden are at war against the white Aryans in their heimat.as you all know,see and feel.by imposing upon them islam and moozlims.the Persians are also tormented by the imposition of izlam upon their heimat.the rassenkrieg really kicked off in the late seventies.khomeiny brought to iran with islam as weapon.ayrabs,berbers and turks brought to europa with isslam as weapon.under command and guidance of judea(delenda est).
‘Iran has promised retaliation following US strikes on the country’s nuclear facilities’ .soon in your own home theater;TRUE PROMISS IV

‘you all nuts? Or just old men who don’t understand anything more complicated than a petrol engine?’i think a petrol engine is one of the most complicated machines that earthlings have devised over the past century and a half.millions of mengineers broke their heads over the development of the internal combustion engine.most earthlings have no idea how an i.c.e. works.most of them have been schooled by and in the social sciences to deliver non producing services.so having some knowledge as to the workings of an i.c.e. is quite an achievement.
@Infiltraitor:
There is an interesting take on that ancestral hatred in the book:
The Curse of Canaan by Eustace Mullins.
Try to get the original version autographed by the author, since there are altered versions in circulation.
> They have to appeal to the world through any means they can to get around the Western media, and start proclaiming not a jihad for Islam but freedom of religious choice for all nations…
Like the palestinians? Even if every person on Earth wanted to help them, they couldn’t, because every country is run by the shit that owns and controls everything. You all know it, because your country is the same.
There’s a lot of talk about the british being pedos and loving the various shit invading the country. I would say, living there, that 95% know nothing about one in four being invaders, 50% of the NHS being invaders, the £5m a day to house them, the 1.5 million boxes they’re being forced to pay for to house the shit, or the rape gangs (yes even that). Because they never listen, they never read and they just don’t care about anything outside of their meaningless lives. The other 5% are sick of being called racist, antisemetic, homophobic and all the rest. Shift the numbers about, and you can make that model fit every country in europe. No one will fight back, ever. No one has the means to fight back either. And no, they did not “give up their guns”, they were taken away hundreds of years ago, along with all rights, freedoms and hope. It wasn’t the british that took slaves in africa either. Hardly anyone in britain knew of the very existence of africa at the time, anymore than they knew of native americans or aborigines. They barely knew what was on the other side of the nearest hill and were kept uninformed and uneducated on purpose to keep them quiet and to keep them enslaved. Wake up and smell the shit heap that is the human race.

@Infiltraitor: The Curse of Canaan by Eustace Mullins. Thank you for your reply and suggestion.the first time i heard about him and from him,live, was on the french connection internet radio from france.hosted and founded by the praiseworthy and venerable new yorker Darryl Bradford Smith .he is the first personality in this millennium that focused exclusively on zionist and criminal judaism.he was the first to publish all relevant and hidden books, pertaining to criminal judaism through the ages.i remember mr. Mullins’ surprise and disbelief of the fact that his research was again in demand.he tought it was a relic of the past.
@J. You may dislike my world view wrt organised religion.that is how it evolved,after trying vehemently to be accepted by the natives.i tried christianity,democrazy(politics and media), the state.no one allowed me in.they would not even listen,or reply.after doing exactly what was expected of me, assimilate and discard the antithetical identity i was born with.hell,i was a disciple of power of prophecy ministries, founded by the great Texe Marrs.i listened to all his internet radio broadcasts over and over.i couldn’t wait for a new episode.his books were world class.he was a great mind and human.alas most christians are not like him.after being rejected everywhere,i had to turn to Crowley.the beast i had been reading about years earlier.for reinvigoration and guidance
Texe marrs was a highly respected personality in the us patriot,christian and anti jewdas community of the ’00’s.he was on french connection,infowars and rbn,the republic broadcasting network.the republic texas.he was a pioneer in the research and publishing of books on occultism,illuminism,anti christianity and conspiracy in general.
Trump says Iran and Israel have agreed to ceasefire | AP News
Uh huh, not a ruse or anything LOL
Ceasefire in Hebrew means “time to reload”
Israel will use the ceasefire to come up with a new plan, probably nuke Tehran
Iran struck the self chosen holy ones, they live inside a myth they are invincible, the Talmud says if a Goyim strikes a Jew he must be put to death
Jews die like anyone else, the myth Jewish superiority exploded, Israel can be hit and destroyed by missiles, this is completely unacceptable to the Jewish supremacists, Bibi did not install Trump for a fricking ceasefire
today Iran hit the Tel Aviv stock exchange and blew it up real good, Israel agreeing to a ceasefire IS A TEMPORARY SURRENDER while they reload
Iran is foolish to accept it, they WILL BE FOOLED AGAIN, Israel is going to nuke Iran for what they did to their cities and air bases, Trump is in on it, Trump is a slavish Jew whore, and is taking orders from Netanyahu, Trump has already fooled Iran, Iran is damn foolish to agree to anything with lying whore Trumpenstein
Israel is going to replenish it’s surface to air missiles, Trump installed anti-aircraft batteries around the White House today, Trump put 25 Arab nations on no entry list – because they are following a script, a much bigger war is planned, they are planning to nuke Tehran, which is why Israel issued a warning to evacuate Tehran this morning
wake up people, Trump is the antichrist, Netanyahu is the devil incarnate
> The Antikythera mechanism is an Ancient Greek hand-powered orrery (model of the Solar System). It is the oldest known example of an analogue computer
I’m pretty sure the abacus is the “oldest known example of an analogue computer”, but it doesn’t matter. As usual, the flat earthers don’t have an answer and just try to deflect.
