Mike Whitney – The Unz Review June 28, 2025
The American people are not being told why Israel agreed to a ceasefire with Iran. Yes, Israel was rapidly running out of air-defense interceptors (making it more vulnerable to Iranian attacks.) But that issue is only of secondary importance. The real reason they wanted a ceasefire was because they were getting systematically pulverized and needed to stop the bleeding fast. That’s why Israel ‘threw in the towel’ less than 2 weeks after the opening salvo, because Iran was decimating one target after another with no end in sight. So, Israel capitulated.
Of course, that is not the story we’ve been reading in the western media where there’s no mention of the vast destruction of Israeli strategic targets (by Iranian ballistic missiles); that news has been completely omitted from the mainstream coverage. But that’s why Israel persuaded Trump to find a diplomatic off-ramp; because the losses were beginning to mount and Iran was not ‘letting up.’
Did you know that it is illegal to post videos or photos of buildings that have been struck by Iranian missiles in Israel? In other words, if you publish photos of smoldering buildings, infrastructure or military bases, you will go to jail. This is how the government controls the narrative and convinces the public that they are winning a war they are actually losing. But don’t take my word for it; here’s a video clip of an Israeli newscaster explaining how government censorship is impacting the peoples’ ability to figure out what is going on:
CH13’s Raviv Drucker: We have to say there is a bit of an Iranian aspect to the way we report missile strikes on our side. I’m not talking about the Weizmann Institute, but there were alot of missile hits on IDF bases, on strategic sites, that we still don’t report about to this day. And there’s a clear reason for that, which everyone at home understands. But along that clear reason, it created a situation where people don’t realize how precise the Iranians were and how much damage they caused in many places. We just know about the Weizmann Institute; there are many places we don’t know about. https://twitter.com/SuppressedNws/status/1938336639748624420
Repeat: it created a situation where people don’t realize how precise the Iranians were and how much damage they caused in many places.
What can we glean from this statement?
That Iran’s new generation of ballistic missiles are abundant, precise and lethal. To his credit, the newscaster seems to think that ordinary people deserve to be told about these cutting-edge weapons so they can make informed decisions regarding their own safety. We agree with this view, but we also know that the heavily censored, state-controlled, agenda-driven media is not going to change the way it disseminates information. After all, the media’s objective is not to inform but to shape public opinion.
But we’re getting off-topic. What we want to show is that Israel did not agree to the ceasefire because it had achieved its strategic objectives, but because it was getting hammered and wanted to stop the bleeding. We make that judgement based on a shortlist of the key military, intelligence, industrial, energy, and R&D facilities that were struck by precision guided ballistic missiles that wreaked havoc across Israel.
Keep in mind, Operation True Promise III unleashed no less than 22 salvos of state-of-the-art ballistic missiles (many used for the first time) that delivered withering blows to a number of heavily fortified Israeli sites that were regarded as ‘the most protected military bases in the world.’ Iran’s missiles blew through Israel’s defenses like at every turn reducing their targets to twisted metal and broken blocks of cinder. (One weapons expert estimates that just 5 percent of Iran’s ballistic missiles were intercepted.) This is from an article at Press TV:
Iran destroyed the so-called “Israeli Pentagon”, the Kirya military-intelligence complex in central Tel Aviv, which is shown as a smoldering hulk in the few photos published on X. Despite being one of the most heavily fortified locations in the occupied territories, protected by a multilayered shield of Israeli and American defense systems, the complex was unable to repel the Iranian missile barrage in the very first phases of True Promise III….
In Haifa, a precision-guided Iranian missile struck a high-rise building housing branches of the Israeli ministry of interior affairs responsible for internal military coordination. The strike disrupted logistical networks and emergency response systems at the municipal level. Press TV
Iranian missiles also took-out the Aman military intelligence headquarters at the Glilot Mizrah Interchange, near Herzliya. Aman oversees elite spying units such as Unit 8200 (signals intelligence), Unit 504 (human intelligence), and Unit 9900 (geospatial intelligence). The compound also houses Mossad’s operational headquarters—the Israeli regime’s notorious foreign intelligence agency….
Iran also struck the ‘impregnable’ Nevatim Airbase in the Negev desert with over 30 ballistic missiles causing extensive damage that (of course) was not reported. Nevatim houses most of Israel’s F-15s and F-35s although we do not have an estimate of how many of those warplanes were destroyed. Here’s more from Press TV:
Other targeted airbases included Tel Nof and Ben Gurion near Tel Aviv, Ramat David near Haifa, Palmachim on the Mediterranean coast, and Ovda near Eilat.
Iranian missiles, including those used for the first time, targeted the command and control centers of the Israeli military and Mossad in both Tel Aviv and Haifa…..
On June 16, Iranian ballistic missiles hit the Bazan Oil Refinery in Haifa—the regime’s largest fuel processing center, which supplies around 60 percent of its gasoline, 65 percent of diesel, and over 50 percent of its kerosene.
The strikes caused significant damage, forcing the complete shutdown of the refinery and its subsidiaries. The Israeli energy minister later admitted the facility would need major reconstruction, estimating a partial restart no sooner than a month.
A nearby power plant was also damaged, triggering widespread blackouts across central regions of the occupied territories.
On June 23, Iranian missiles struck near a power station in Ashdod, triggering a powerful explosion and localized blackouts. Explosions and outages were also reported near Hadera, where Orot Rabin—Israel’s largest power plant—is located
In addition, Iran directly targeted military-industrial sites involved in recent Israeli aggression. Chief among them was the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems complex north of Haifa—home to multiple factories and R&D buildings that produce key elements of Israel’s military hardware.
Rafael manufactures Iron Dome and David’s Sling missile interceptors, both of which have failed repeatedly in stopping Palestinian and Iranian missiles. It also produces cruise and guided missiles used in strikes against Iran, including Spice kits and Popeye, Rocks, Spike, and Matador missiles.
The Kiryat Gat Industrial Zone—a major center for microprocessor and high-tech military production—was also struck. Iranian strikes reportedly damaged key production lines vital to Israel’s drone and surveillance programs.
Further south, the Gav-Yam Negev Advanced Technologies Park near Beersheba, which hosts firms working in cyberwarfare, AI, and military tech, was not spared. Many of these companies collaborate closely with the Israeli military and the Mossad.
Another high-profile target was the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv. Known for its military R&D and partnerships with Israeli military agencies, the institute suffered devastating damage to key laboratories. Members and professors of the institute confirmed the loss of years’ worth of research. The Weizmann Institute also plays a role in Israel’s clandestine nuclear program, with many of Dimona’s nuclear scientists having graduated from or taught at the institute. Press TV
Let’s summarize: In a little more than a week’s time, Iran struck or obliterated:
- The “Israeli Pentagon”, the Kirya military-intelligence complex
- The Weizmann Institute of Science which plays a role in Israel’s clandestine nuclear program
- The Aman military intelligence headquarters at the Glilot Mizrah Interchange, near Herzliya. Aman oversees elite spying units such as Unit 8200 (signals intelligence), Unit 504 (human intelligence), and Unit 9900 (geospatial intelligence).
- Branches of the Israeli ministry of interior affairs responsible for internal military coordination
- The Mossad’s operational headquarters
- Israel’s most protected Nevatim Airbase (and the Tel Nof Airbase)
- Ben Gurion Airport (repeatedly) as well as Ramat David, Palmachim and Ovda near Eilat.
- The Command-and-Control Centers of the Israeli military and Mossad in both Tel Aviv and Haifa…..
- The Bazan Oil Refinery in Haifa—Israel’s largest fuel processing center
- A giant power station in Ashdod, triggering a powerful explosion and localized blackouts.
- The Rafael Advanced Defense Systems complex north of Haifa—home to multiple factories and R&D buildings that produce key elements of Israel’s military hardware
- The Kiryat Gat Industrial Zone—a major center for microprocessor and high-tech military production
- The Gav-Yam Negev Advanced Technologies Park near Beersheba, which hosts firms working in cyberwarfare, AI, and military tech.
Get the picture? In just 10 days (June 13 to June 23) the Iranian military meticulously destroyed a sizable portion of Israel’s most prestigious military, intelligence, industrial, energy, and R&D facilities across the country. (Have you read about any of this in the western media?) Had the war continued for another week or two, the Holy Land would have been reduced to a smoldering third world wasteland unfit for human habitation. In short, this was no normal ceasefire. This was a desperate capitulation by an overmatched contender who quickly realized he was punching ‘above his weight’. Here’s how Trump summed it up:
“Israel got hit really hard. Those ballistic missiles, boy, they took out a lot of buildings,” Trump told reporters at the NATO summit in The Hague on Wednesday. https://twitter.com/i/status/1937812706599252198
Yes, Israel took a real beating.
We should note that there is no formal agreement between Iran and Israel. (No signed document or explicit commitments) The ceasefire was brokered through back-channel diplomacy, primarily mediated by Qatar. A senior White House official and a diplomat briefed on the talks indicated that Israel agreed to halt strikes if Iran ceased its attacks, and Iran signaled compliance with these terms through Qatari mediation. Trump announced the ceasefire as a “complete and total ceasefire” to be phased in over 24 hours, although there have been numerous violations by both sides since the original deal was made on June 23. (Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi initially stated there was “no agreement” but indicated Iran would stop its response if Israel held up its end of the bargain.)
The problem, of course, is that the ceasefire is not going to hold because Israel and the US see the truce as merely a way to buy-time to regroup and prepare for the next round of hostilities. (The same as Minsk) Consider the comments of Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz who said the following on Saturday:
⚡️BREAKING: Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz says Israel won’t respect Ceasefire with Iran:
“I have instructed the IDF to prepare an enforcement strategy against Iran that includes:
• Maintaining Israel’s air superiority.
• Preventing the advancement of Iran’s nuclear… pic.twitter.com/Rk8YKQOi6q— Suppressed News. (@SuppressedNws) June 27, 2025
This doesn’t sound like a man who is looking for a ‘lasting peace’ or even a temporary end to the fighting. It sounds like someone who’s already settled on a strategy for resuming the hostilities and is merely waiting for the green light (from Bibi) to put the plan into motion.
But what might that plan be, after all, Israel was already employing its top-line military weaponry and advanced air-defense systems. What other tools do they have that could be used to produce a different outcome that the one they just experienced after just 12 days of conflict?
This is where is gets scary because Israel has only two options: Either it draws the United States deeper into the conflict (including the deploying of ground forces) or it ‘goes nuclear’. There is no third option. So, whatever Bibi and his generals have ‘up their sleeve’, it’s going to be of a different force and magnitude than what we saw during the last dust-up. Check out this baffling blurb from the Times of Israel‘s Saturday edition:
After the US strike on Iran earlier this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Donald Trump agreed on a rapid end to the war in Gaza and expansion of the Abraham Accords, Israel Hayom reports, citing “a source familiar with the conversation.”
According to the outlet, Trump and Netanyahu agreed in a phone call that the war in Gaza would end within two weeks. Four Arab states, including the UAE and Egypt, would jointly govern the Gaza Strip in place of Hamas. The terror group’s leadership would be exiled, and all hostages would be released.
However, Arab allies have repeatedly asserted that they will not take part in the postwar rehabilitation of Gaza absent Israeli acquiescence to the Palestinian Authority gaining a foothold in Gaza as part of a pathway to a future two-state solution, but Netanyahu has flatly rejected any PA role in the Strip….
Trump and Netanyahu were joined on the “euphoric” call late Monday night by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer, says Israel Hayom….
Saudi Arabia and Syria would establish diplomatic ties with Israel, and other Arab and Muslim countries would follow suit…. Israel, for its part, would express its support for a future two-state solution, conditioned on reforms made by the Palestinian Authority. Meanwhile, the leaders agreed that Washington will recognize Israeli sovereignty in some parts of the West Bank. Times of Israel
People who follow events closely in the Middle East know that nothing in this article is true. There’s not going to be a rapid end to the war in Gaza, there’s not going to be a rapid expansion of the Abraham Accords, and there’s certainly not going to be Israeli support for a two-state solution.
So, what’s going on here, what is the point of this nonsensical propaganda that no one in their right mind is going to believe??
Let’s answer that question with a hypothetical: Let’s say, some unexpected 9-11-type catastrophe was to take place in the next few weeks that had Iranian fingerprints all over it. And let’s say this false flag was destructive enough that the “usual suspects” on Capitol Hill and the MSM demanded that Trump take immediate action and bomb Iran. If that scenario were to unfold, then wouldn’t it better for Bibi and Trump to be able to point to their recent efforts for resolving the Gaza crisis? Wouldn’t they benefit from the perception (by the public) that they had been actively pursuing peace but were unexpectedly derailed by Iran’s actions?
Indeed, they would.
Of course, this is all just speculation; I don’t know what’s going to happen. But when you have hardliners like Katz, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich and countless others in Netanyahu’s looneybin government who believe that Israel must “keep the sword raised” to ensure Iran does not recover its military capabilities (Smotrich), then a prudent person will prepare for the worst.
Keep in mind, a number of Israeli leaders have repeatedly stated that Netanyahu should “finish the job”, which is an intentionally vague term that refers to the use of a nuclear weapon.
In order to determine the probability of such an event, we must ask ourselves whether a government that justifies the killing and forced starvation of millions of women and children in their charge, has the moral scruples to oppose the use of the world’s most lethal weapon?
We should all be very worried that Netanyahu is going to do exactly what we would expect him to do.

Make WAR by deception..
‘their words & badge just saying.
A corporate banking whirled concept, only a couple of countries not tied into this whirled ponzi monetary schemes. the outcome typically a divide & conquer situation. relative in all aspects.
ALL in on it together.
There you have it, no further discussion required.
Thankyou & good night.
Looks to me like Iran is encouraging regime change 🙂 in isra-hell :-). Talk about death by 1000 cuts 🙂
make israhell flat like Gaza !
China-Russia be ready for USA !
Yet they’re still winning the battle, aren’t they? Particularly against unarmed civilians.
I know it’s a dream but how about we stop this war machine used as one of their depopulation tools and just say NO!!!!
Smoldering buildings, partly damaged IDF buildings, or Mossad buildings, were all fake, or CGI fotos, faking this charade as some sort of “war”. Their asses were only clearing out old buildings , a demo project at first, then later they will build casinos, get rid of old structures and re develop, build grand roads for their monthly LGBT parades. This website seems to be pushing this fake war a bit too much, with all these CIA writers relentlessly writing rubbish, while all the “fotos” published are all taken by fake imbedded witnesses on the ground. Iran n Israel are not enemies, they are of the same family, pretending to have nuclear bombs, and some sort of idiotic “enrichment” narrative.

Nukes again.
Imagine if Israel’s nukes were hit before they were launched? Wouldn’t that be something.
When nukes backfire.
I’ll believe nukes are real when I see proof one has been used.
However if they are real, you’d better kept them well covered up, or else they could be more trouble than they are worth.
Looks like Israel took a beating. Iran agreed to a ceasefire a little prematurely if you ask me.
Just more ‘cognitive dissonance’ from alt news cia-kgb mole (whitney). These various State moles like whitney, giraldi, macgregor etc, are trying to rationalize or ‘make sense’ for the morons their fictitious ‘multitpolar world’ paradigm they invented to cover for the reality that the world is actually governed by a unipolar bloc of Zionist-Communist bankers/oligarchs/rabbis pretending to be ‘enemies’ behind the facade of ‘nations’.
Its all being coordinated between NATO/Israel and BRICS/OIC to advance their ‘end days’ & ‘birth pangs of the Messiah’ Torah/Talmud/Zohar/New Testament script. Of course its all delusional fantasy, but as I revealed before, it doesn’t matter: for just because something is fantasy (i.e. Jewish/Christian/Muslim theology/eschatology) doesn’t mean it can’t materialize & become real via the effort & consent of millions/billions of believers/followers/nutjobs.
Israel got a beating, Iran a golfcourse with 3 holes in Fordow.
The latest episode in the ‘Truman Show’. but hey, don’t worry about it, everything is going according to the OT/NT ‘birth pangs of the messiah’ screenplay
Unless the war against the jews continues until they are all dead, and back in Hell where they come from, there is no win. They jews will just regroup, rearm and attack Iran again. They serve Satan their father in Hell. They will find a more wicked and evil way to destroy Iran most likely they will use weapons that cause a huge earth quake in the Mediterranean, destroying it completely.
The jews will destroy Israel with it, just to take down Iran.
The jews attack only what is good and of God. They would do anything even destroy Israel because they emote only out of HATRED for all things good and of God.
They serve only the forces of darkness and Hell because they are the forces of Darkness and hell. They always operate in such a way that they get accomplices to their sins and crimes against God. They will work now on getting others to aide them in their nefarious plans against God’s good people, so that when they get the needed resources and strike it will be with help from the goyim, just to take those goyim who help them down to Hell. They are methodical, and their purpose for being here on earth is singular, they use all their energy and time working to take souls to Hell. Every activity and enterprise jews are involved in is used for that purpose alone. Hitler did not go far enough to eradicate the jews. Had he eliminated all jews, this world would be with God. That is the choice humans have, to be with God or to be with the devil in Hell. Look at this world, you can see that this world is with the devil. It is their own personal individual free will choice, to be more like Satan and nothing like God, in every choice they make. The human race has wasted all their time here on earth, to evolve higher to do the reverse, to devolve lower. Their time has run out, they made their choices. They didn’t do what God would do, they found everything evil and of Hell acceptable. This is just a temporary world for testing. The world of humans has failed miserably. The fact that jews still exist is proof. The fact that jews have acquired support, wealth and power via heinous crimes against God is your death sentence. The loss of many souls, all souls that allowed it and did no fight against it are doomed to eternal Hell by their own bad choices. Almost everyone is an accomplice to the EVIl of the jews. Jews only do EVIL. Nothing good or of God could ever come from a jew. Their science you have accepted as progress has only poisoned the entire earth with satanic deadly chemicals. They are antilife. God alone creates Life. The Jews KILL all life. Just put a jew and a plant in the same room together in a short time the plant will die. The jews emit life killing energy, the energy of Hell. Their insanity is contagious because their death energy attacks all life around them. They are a threat to all life especially the life of human beings who are not completely with God. They are a darkness that prevents people from seeing the light=the truth. When humans die without any Light in them, all darkness , they become nesting places for demons, of like frequency. Satanic rituals bring down the frequency of places so that demons can come through and possess humans. The more humans lie and accept lies as truth the more darkness and demons surrounds them. Then, when they die, they never see Jesus Christ, to be forgiven and saved, the demons take them directly down to the pit of Hell when they die. This will happen to all the people at once as a collective when ww3 begins, and billions die at one moment of time a huge amount of souls will be destroyed and taken to the pit. Stan’s time is almost over, so there will be a final war that kills billions caused by the jews who make every war, just for that purpose. Their purpose is to destroy as many souls as possible taking them from God, to Hell. It is are that anyone, of any race, who is not a racially pure, is given a soul at birth to begin with. The soulless mongrels among you are easily used by the jews as helpers. The Racially pure are the only ones who can serve God, and have souls. That is why they jews attacked and made war on all nations of the racially pure first. Franc, Russia, China, Vietnam, The Middle East. They will not have to kill off the people who are mongrels, they don’t have souls, they use them as slaves to serve the jews. The people in South America and Africa, are already racially mixed. They are so violent and insane already, most already belong to Satan, even though they are not Jewish.
It is very hard to find what got destroyed in Israel, so this article is a gold mine.
My comments about this war and crazy Trumpenstein:
“Any good thing Trump is trying to accomplish is being overshadowed by his Israel war agenda. The funny thing is, the more Trump tries to save Israel the more it is destroyed. It wasn’t Bush, Clinton, Obama, or Biden that foolishly went along with Bibi’s dream of attacking Israel, it was Trump, and now Israel has been severely damaged. Trump claims to be the greatest friend of Israel, now look at Israel. Trump’s aggressive defense and assistance to Israel is what is destroying Israel.
The bottom line is that Trump 2.0 is in a death spiral. Trump has activated the Left into a no-kings anti-Trump movement, the more Trump pushes his domestic agenda, the more the Left will organize against him, thus we can expect no-kings to last the rest of his term. Trump has kicked off the war with Iran, Israel will never relent against Iran, thus Trump has now hitched his wagon to defending crazy Nutty Netanyahoo and his wars. How many nations is Israel warring against right now? When will Israel attack again? What will crazy Trump do? Nuke Iran?
Trump sided with Israel and bombed Yemen, then Trump surrendered and called off the US bombing raids. Trump sided with Israel with the Friday the 13th sneak attack, Trump then had to beg for a cease fire after 12 days to stop the utter destruction of Tel Aviv. Trump talks tough yet we see Trump surrendering time and again. Trump caused it all, blames everyone but himself, his big mouth a loose cannon on the deck of the sinking USS Titanic. It is obvious Trump is the mad king, delusional with his love for Israel, a tyrant in the making, going batshit insane over his own failed policies. IMO Trump 2.0 is a train wreck off the rails and heading for a catastrophic ending. ”

Iran’s response makes little sense to me. If someone armed starts shooting into my home killing or injuring family members, and I have gun in hand, I WILL NOT shoot them in the leg and tell them to “knock it off”. I will destroy them and end that threat indefinitely.
wolf:
as the great one says: ‘The only problem is, Iran is ruled by Donmeh’
If Israel were not losing to Iran there would be no ceasefire.
Iran has got Israel’s measure and it’s not even frightened of the ‘Israel’s nuclear bomb’.
The empire of lies with Israel in the driving seat is not going to last much longer.
As usual Nico X thinks it’s all fake.
Damage and destruction done to Iran, is that fake too?
Only thing fake around here would be you old boy.
Chemical and biological weapons are much scarier than nukes. Who funds this research??

Yukon Jack: Very good comment!
and ImWolf:
Very good comment also. I also said that Iran should have continued for a much longer time. If an antibiotics treatment is ended too soon, the disease will come back stronger than ever. Hopefully, Iran is very busy now getting ready for them.
Also, the suggestion that a false flag attack from Israel to be blamed on Iran may happen soon is a very real possibility. This is needed by Trump and Bibi because Americans (and I assume Europeans) are in no mood to fight for Israel in Iran.

Amalek
we can learn a lot from nico
Syed Ali Khamenei has said over ~14 times that Iran does not need nuclear weapons. Over a decade ago in a gathering with Nuclear scientists he said:
در دیدار با دانشمندان هسته ای در تاریخ ۱۳۹۰/۱۲/۰۳ می باشد:
“ما میخواهیم به دنیا اثبات کنیم که داشتن سلاح هستهای، قدرتآفرین نیست؛ به دلیل اینکه قدرتهائی که سلاح هستهای دارند، امروز دارای سختترین مشکلاتند. آنها با تهدید هستهای بر دنیا مسلط شدند، اما امروز این تهدید دیگر کاربرد ندارد. ما میخواهیم بگوئیم ما دنبال سلاح هستهای نیستیم و اقتدار را در سلاح هستهای نمیدانیم و اقتدار متکی به سلاح هستهای را هم میتوانیم بشکنیم.”
“We want to prove to the world that having nuclear weapons does not create/bring power. Because the countries that have them today are suffering from the worst of problems. They had become dominant by threat of nukes, however this threat no longer has any use. We want to say that we are not after nukes and we do not see power in them and we can break any power relying on nuclear weapons!”
At most Iran might unveil small tactical nuclear weapons, but even that is not required for Zion that has little geographic depth.
Many in Iran are demanding that Iran should make nukes, but there are reasons that WMD nukes are useless and against Iran’s soft-power.
Once again based on deterrence doctrine:
1- Balance of Terror (To be able to scare your enemy)
2- Flexible Response (To have many response options against an enemy action and thus able to surprise; preferably asymmetric)
3- Big Retaliation/pay back (To be able to respond an enemy action with a bigger counter-action and maintaining secondary strike capability)
4- Total war (Ability to manage escalation effectively and being able to control the situation up to total annihilation or total war such that cost of victory is reduced as much as possible)
US/Zion attack on Iran had a major “covert” dimension to it and it was not a “military” success. Within 10 hours Iran recovered from the devastating backstab attack, an impossible feat for mortal nations! After Trump’s symbolic attack on Fordow, Iran attacked the US CENTCOM in Qatar and despite the rumors, Iran attacked to harm; the few video evidence from Qatar shows that US had to launch many THAAD air-defense missiles (you calculate the cost!) to counter Iran’s missile attack. Iran claims to have OBLITRATED a very cool radar in that base which was used to track missile launches from Iran and provide early warning to Zion. Indeed Zion in the final hours before the declared ceasefire time had a serious problem with sirens as they had lost the early warning and their people failed to get to shelters in time!
So Iran managed to maintain “Secondary Strike Capability” due to numerous underground missile launch silos and mobile launchers and thus deliver “Big Retaliation”.
Iran also has superior Asymmetric Flexible Response due to its effective missile and drone technology and geographic depth.
Iran won the Balance of Terror, while the ideologically strong IRGC and Artech do not lack in martyrdom seeking Friday-night prayers! Iranian people also did a great job, even those 50% in the grey zone who did not particularly like or care for Islam they saw the war for what it is and rallied behind the Flag and now the Supremely Popular Supreme Leader!
Both US and Zion thought Iran was done for and were hoping to see internal unrest to topple Islamic Republic, but due to wise leadership of Khamenei to their bamboozlement it did not happen!
On the first day address to Iranians, Khamenei said that Iranian nation will not accept “Imposed War” (جنگ تحمیلی) nor will accept “Imposed Peace” (صلح تحمیلی). He knew that weak Iranian politicians, fifth-column and crypto Jews would push for Ceasefire/Peace the moment US/Zion were losing! And it happened, they wanted to “impose peace” and they declared a ceasefire time while bastards within Iranian government accepted immediately! It was when US radar in CENTCOM was no more and IRGC milked every second of the time before ceasefire to hammer Zion while they also had no early warning and they could not effectively take their people to shelter in time! This means the “imposed ceasefire” lost its “imposing” part! : )
Iran has no nukes and has fought two nuclear powered arrogant powers and “imposed” a ceasefire back on them! As Khamenei said this is a victory for Iran, for Iranians and for Iran military BUT NOT FOR FAILED IRANIAN POLITICEONS!
What about Iran losses? In terms of material, nothing too bad, unfortunately children and women were killed, some 1000 in total and many more injured, still nothing a country of 92 million population like Iran can’t handle. AD was badly damaged, radars lost and they are saying they have replaced them and are improving as much as possible. No huge damage to deep enrichment facilities or that stockpile. Many older commanders who wished to be martyred got their wishes granted at the golden age of 63! They were all replaced, once again Shia Iran thrives on blood of martyrs! That’s why Iran or the Resistance Axis never hides losing its leaders or commanders and openly and immediately name and congratulate them! Unlike Zion or US that hides all of their KIAs.
Furthermore in the grand scheme of things Iran of post 12 day war is a much more solid nation than the Iran of pre 12 day war! Iran is also hugely popular in the world and in particular in the Muslim world. Lets face it blood of Iranian martyrs and killed children better binds hearts of the people of the region to people of Iran, this is going to massively empower Iran’s soft-power particularly in the Muslim world.
US/Zion did not achieve any of their stated goals. So it is not too hard to see Iran has won the 12 day war. US and Zion will likely create their Abraham Accord Coalition to oppose Iran now. These are Zionist Jews, Zionist Christians and Zionist Muslims united and let by Trump against the Resistance Axis led by Khamenei.
I may be wrong but I doubt US/Zion would break ceasefire too soon, they are going for Abraham Accord! And that is not too far away though! : )
Lastly don’t forget:
There are 4 main schools of thought when it comes to state/governance security; each one has to deal with the Threat that is outside and the Vulnerability that is inside.
The 1st School is centered around the Vulnerability (Russia):
To improve and cover our vulnerabilities in order to survive and as a result defeat the threat.
Let the enemy come in and wait for winter!
The 2nd school is centered around the Threat (Zion):
Forget about our vulnerabilities and focus on eliminating the Threat.
Nip it in the bud, preempt, assassinate, violently attack and threaten the enemy with maximum force with no delay! It does not matter if you are hated as long as you are feared!
The 3rd school is centered around Opportunity (US):
Define the threat and derive opportunity from it in order to survive and defeat the enemy.
Draw the SWOT, milk the situation! No more threats? Make some!
The 4th school is centered around Occasion (Iran):
This may sound new to most people so first look up the philosophy of “Occasionalism” and then think on this allegory to understand better: An Oyster has soft tissue inside of its shell and when a small sharp pebble enters it, it has no defensive mechanism to get rid of it, instead it generates nacre around it that eventually turns it inro a valuable round pearl!
Define the threat on the cosmic divine map and deal with it in accordance to the divine creed in order to create a more valuable thing out of it that not only nullifies the threat but upgrades you in the process.
This is how/why Khamenei is so sure when he speaks!
