Iran's Tasnim News Agency: Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, will make a televised statement to the Iranian people in a few minutes.
So far, Khamenei has only issued a written statement.

🇮🇱After meeting with Netanyahu, Israeli President Herzog warned his fellow citizens that "difficult days await the country":
There are difficult days and difficult moments ahead of us that we will all have to go through together. I believe with all my heart that together we will be able to endure. Together we will build a new, safer and more just reality.

🇺🇦🤡Ukrainian Foreign Minister Sibiga demands that the West continue to put pressure on Russia:
We need such negotiations where decisions are made, where issues are resolved. We see that the last round of negotiations, which took place in Istanbul, was actually reduced to a discussion of exchange, so we are interested in a meeting at the presidential level and we are ready for such a meeting.
We will see what happens next. The most important thing for us is to bring peace closer. The key thing for us now is to achieve a truce, a ceasefire. The Ukrainian side has demonstrated that it has never been and will never be an obstacle to peace.
Unfortunately, we saw the complete inadequacy of the Russian side, which was reflected in the document they handed over. This is complete inadequacy. They have not changed the rhetoric of ultimatums. They demand that we capitulate.
Therefore, we must put pressure - I mean collectively, globally - on Russia, force it to peace and raise the price of its aggression, introduce tough sanctions. First of all, this is a price ceiling on oil, which is the main source of financing the military machine. We very much hope for strong decisions in the near future, and at the EU level this is the eighteenth package of sanctions. It is very important, in particular, that this package provides for the introduction of sanctions against Nord Stream.

Video of strikes which were carried out on another nuclear facility - the Fordow uranium enrichment plant, which is located ~150 km from Tehran.
@Slavyangrad
As said, Israel has begun to strike in the area of the Fordow nuclear facility. They are taking advantage of the fact that Iran's air defence in the western part of the country is disorganised.
At the same time, there are reports that in central Iran, Iranian air defence has begun to work on flying targets.

We still plan to hold a meeting with Iran on Sunday, but the possibility of this happening is unclear.

Currently, a wave of attacks is taking place both in the capital Tehran and in the Qom region (where the Fordow underground nuclear facility is located).

US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said he did not order a halt to offensive cyber operations against Russia this spring.
"I know what article you're talking about, and it's false. I said it then, and I'll say it now... We didn't do it,"
Israel has been preparing an attack on Iran since November 2024. Trump was aware.
We struck a significant force and destroyed their largest uranium enrichment plant in Natanz. This operation is one of the few in history carried out on such a scale. It far exceeds all previous attacks,
— said Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
According to him, there is chaos in Iran now, but retaliatory strikes will definitely follow. They may be undulating and extremely harsh.
Netanyahu gave the order to develop an operation against Iran's nuclear program in November 2024; it was initially planned for April, but was postponed. At the same time, the politician emphasised that the US knew about the attack in advance.
What they will do now, I leave to the discretion of the US President. Trump makes decisions on his own,
— Netanyahu added.

@Slavyangrad
Approximate area of destruction by an Iranian nuclear charge (if it exists) in a strike on Tel Aviv. The power of the charge is taken by default as low, at the level of 50 kilotons. Yellow is the area of continuous destruction, red is heavy destruction, green is the area of strong radiation contamination, pale yellow is the area of thermal destruction, gray is the area of destruction by the remnants of the shock wave. Considering that Israel has 18 cities with a population of over 100 thousand people and several hundred large military facilities, Iran must have approximately 150-200 warheads for a strike.

Iranian MP Shahriari has asked Iran's Supreme Leader Khamenei to authorise the use of nuclear weapons against Israel. 👀
@Slavyangrad
Iran said it shot down seven Israeli drones in response to the attack, including one near the Fordow facility where two of the drones were reported.
There is not much yet, but this is not surprising when some of the radars are out of order and the air defence in the western part of the country has disintegrated into pockets.
Regarding the allegedly shot down Iranian missiles over Syria, the debris found on the ground shows that these are dropped drop tanks of Israeli aircraft. No missile launches have been carried out on Israel yet. The IRGC said that a strike is being prepared. Israel also said that Iran is preparing a response.

Boris Pervushin writes
It's too early to draw conclusions (especially before the retaliatory strike), but I will note that Israel is acting according to science: first, the liquidation of the Axis of Resistance infrastructure, then strikes at command and defence chains, and somewhere in the future - a nuclear program. Fighting like breathing. Iran, looking at all this for years, has made surprisingly few conclusions
The very logic of containment has broken down: now a forceful response is not an extreme measure, but an instrument of current policy. If you do not have a flexible, motivated, stress-resistant state capable of internal renewal, consider yourself already lost. It would be good for Iran to sort things out within itself
But Tel Aviv has its own costs. Israel, blaming Iran for this, itself increasingly finds itself in the role of a state living by war. This is a dangerous habit. In the short term, it is possible to reformat the Middle East to suit itself. But strategically, this is life in a constant crisis mode. If you think you are defeating a dragon, most likely you have become one
Once, Israel's flexibility was the source of its strength. Now, only military discipline and Netanyahu's monologue. The Arab world will swallow the blows to the Persians. But the Palestinian issue has not gone away, it will explode again. How will a state that is used to winning only by war solve this and other problems? Also by war, but against itself?
History loves winners, and even more, it loves to remind us at what price these victories were achieved
@Slavyangrad
"By striking at the heart of the Iranian regime, Netanyahu has turned to its legacy": Netanyahu has been preparing a massive strike on Iran for years and has been quarrelling over it with Obama.
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu began planning a major attack on Iran more than a decade ago during his previous term as prime minister, but was forced to back down from the operation under pressure from the Obama administration and concerns about Israel's military might.
In 2015, he nearly fell out with President Obama when he gave a speech to Congress criticising the U.S. administration's efforts to curb Iran's nuclear program through diplomacy.
Recent events have made it easier for the military to strike, which has likely emboldened Netanyahu.
"This is personal for him — he's been talking about this for 25 years," said Israeli political analyst Nadav Strauchler, a former adviser to Netanyahu. "This is the big picture he was aiming for. This is his legacy."
@Slavyangrad
Sumy direction.
On the Pisarevka-Khoten line, the enemy carried out 7 attacks in the direction of our positions in just one day.
Three of them were stopped by artillery and drones on the approaches to Kondratovka, two in the Novonikolaevka area and two more in Yunakovka.
In Novonikolaevka and Yunakovka, the paratroopers not only repelled the attacks, but also carried out assault operations, during which they advanced 150 and 200 meters.
From Andreyevka, the Marines expanded their control of the territory by 1.5 km and reached Korchakovsky Yar.
Now the road from Pisarevka to Alekseevka is under our fire control.
Today the Russian Ministry of Defense announced the liberation of Yablonovka in the Sumy region.

Open the "gates of hell": Iran prepares largest missile attack on Israel in history, — Reuters
Iran's largest missile attack on Israel will begin in a few hours, media reports, citing the IRGC.
The new head of the IRGC, in an address to the Supreme Leader of Iran, promised to open the "gates of hell" for Israel.
The Israeli Cabinet believes that the worst-case scenario of an immediate military response from Iran has already been ruled out.
The head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran said there were no radiation leaks at nuclear facilities after the strikes.
Iran will continue to work in the nuclear field despite the deaths of scientists, he added.
Trump claims that Iranian representatives "call him and want to talk" after Israeli strikes.
