Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz announced on Friday that the Israeli Air Force has conducted a “preemptive”strike in Iran. Iranian media reported explosions in Tehran, as well as missile interceptions. An emergency situation has been declared across Israel. “Following the State of Israel’s preemptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the immediate future,” Katz said. The attack comes after weeks of simmering tensions following the collapse of renewed negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program. Multiple news outlets reported last month that Israel had discussed potential strikes on Iranian nuclear sites with the United States. US President Donald Trump recently accused Tehran of “slow-walking” the negotiations and reiterated that his objective is the complete dismantlement of Iran’s nuclear program. Iran has denied pursuing nuclear weapons, maintaining that its nuclear activities are solely for civilian purposes. https://www.rt.com/news/619057-israel-strikes-iran-reports/

Major General Hossein Salami, commander of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), was killed in an Israeli strike on Tehran on Friday, according to multiple local news agencies.
Israel said its Air Force carried out dozens of strikes on Iranian nuclear and military targets, including the enrichment facility in Natanz. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that the operation was intended to prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.
According to reports cited by Press TV, the victims also include Deputy Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, along with nuclear scientists Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi and Fereydoon Abbasi.
Iranian officials have not commented on casualties or damage on the ground. However, local media reported that civilians were killed during strikes on residential areas in Tehran.

US President Donald Trump recently accused Tehran of “slow-walking” the negotiations after previous rounds failed to produce a breakthrough. On Friday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized that Washington was not involved in the Israeli strikes.
Iran has denied seeking to acquire nuclear weapons, insisting instead on its right to conduct nuclear research for civilian purposes.

dirty hands....
The speaker criticizes the dynamics between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, arguing that the U.S. has cornered Iran into a position where it can’t agree to terms without effectively surrendering. Iran’s retention of nuclear capabilities is framed not as aggression but as a hedge, especially after repeated attacks, particularly by Israel. The speaker points out the irony in labeling Iran the top sponsor of terrorism, while asserting that Iran has also been a significant victim of attacks.
They stress that no side has "clean hands", and all nations act in their own interests—including the U.S., which must prioritize its own national interest even above long-standing allies like Israel. The speaker warns against blindly supporting actions that could embroil the U.S. in war due to an ally’s choices.
The Israeli preemptive strike on Iranian nuclear facilities is criticized for being based on assumptions rather than hard intelligence—suggesting Israel attacked because it wanted to, not because of imminent threat. Conflicting Israeli statements on Iran’s nuclear capability (9 vs. 15 warheads) are cited as evidence of a lack of credibility.
The speaker laments the collapse of diplomacy, noting that talks were scheduled before Israel’s attack. They challenge Israeli claims of massive Iranian missile attacks, clarifying that most were drones or ineffective missiles, and some penetrated Israel’s Iron Dome, undermining its reliability.
Israel’s assassination of individuals on foreign soil is framed as a dangerous precedent, questioning whether the U.S. would tolerate the same behavior in reverse. The broader critique is that the U.S. and allies apply double standards, leading to a loss of global credibility, influence, and moral authority.
They warn this behavior invites future danger and makes adversaries more hostile and less restrained. The speaker expects Iran may escalate, driven by a sense that restraint no longer provides protection.
In closing, voices like former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are mentioned supporting Israel’s strike, calling it necessary and righteous. But the overarching tone of the commentary is skeptical of such justifications and deeply concerned about long-term consequences and erosion of norms.
