The Israeli side reports that Iran has fired missiles again. Sirens are wailing in the Haifa area. It is not yet clear whether this is a provocation on the part of Israel, so that Iran can then be accused of violating the ceasefire. We are waiting for confirmation of photos and videos from the scene.
Needs comic sans
Israeli media: Two missiles fired from Iran, intercepted.
Israeli media: Powerful explosions heard in North.

at one point was unconditional surrender and death of the Ali Khamenei. Guess they were flexible on those
Roman Empire ass country; existential threats everywhere
Legislator from Netanyahu’s Likud party opposes Iran truce
There’s already pushback to the Israel-Iran ceasefire.
Dan Illouz, a member of Netanyahu’s Likud Party, has said that the only deal the government must signed is Iran’s “surrender agreement”.
In a statement posted on X, Illouz said the “regime in Iran is not a regime with which agreements are made – but a regime that must be defeated”.
Illouz said that “if not defeated”, Iran will find new means against Israel.
This comes as Netanyahu faces pressure from right-wing members of his fractious coalition, as well as hardliners from his own party, to continue forceful action against Iran.
In recent days, Netanyahu has hinted that he will support a regime change in Iran, while Israeli media are advocating a partition of Iran along ethnic lines.

Netanyahu says Israel has achieved ‘all objectives’ of operation against Iran
Here are the details from the Israeli statement.
It said Netanyahu met his cabinet along with the minister of defence and the head of the Mossad last night “to report that Israel had achieved all of the objectives of Operation Rising Lion, and much more”.
“Israel has removed a dual immediate existential threat – both in the nuclear and ballistic missile fields,” the statement said.
The Israeli military “achieved full air control over Tehran’s skies, inflicted severe damage on the military leadership, and destroyed dozens of central Iranian government targets”, it said.
“In light of the achievement of the operation’s objectives, and in full coordination with President Trump, Israel has agreed to the president’s proposal for a bilateral ceasefire,” it added.
“Israel will respond forcefully to any violation of the ceasefire.”

Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in South Lebanon: Israeli drone strikes Shoukin-Kfar Dejjal road, Nabatieh District.
Don’t seem to remember the Lebanese army budging an inch to press the advantage, yet the country still gets bombed and look the other way.
Al Mayadeen’s correspondent: 25 martyrs, more than 150 injured in Israeli targeting of aid seekers near Netzarim Axis, central Gaza Strip.
I’m hesitant to make much of an assessment until I really know how much and in what ways this has damaged Israel. I don’t get the impression that winning is as important for Iran as is defeating the entity. I’m in no position to ask anyone to make sacrifices, but fighting for an objective of liberation or justice carries a weight that trading blows in a slap fight does not. Even if these are pretty hard slaps.
I agree with comrade Ivy and I hope Iran keeps their insistence on the last hit. It not only establishes something of a power dynamic, but it sends a message to the muslim brotherhood of the region and pan-arabism that has the power to knit these neighbors together in mutual defense of western hegemony. It’s fucking insane to me there are US military bases anywhere but the US. It’s not 1915 anymore, and these countries can handle their own security guarantees now. The only threat is the US and Israel, so what’s the point of just letting yourself get captured by them and drug into their psychotic adventurism. I hope that this sense of the moment coalesces into a resistance movement. If this sets up the dominoes to fall for the empire’s foothold, then we can look back soon and see it in a new light of success.
I hope Iran negotiated to get some good Russian AD out of this. Putin said he had offered to co-develop an AD program with Iran before, but Iran turned them down. If true, that’s a big L. We all know without air superiority, the IOF is a bunch of stupid kids that have to run from anything bigger than a rock. A land invasion of Iran would be a disaster for Israel. Israel knew what Iran’s strength was and prepared for it with a multilayered anti-missile defense that took a hell of a pounding before it went down, but it seems like Iran’s AD was flimsy against Israel’s air force. If they had prepared for Israel’s offense as much as Israel had, this might have been very one sided.
I’m writing this without looking at what’s going on right now, so maybe this is out of date already. I’m hesitant to say what outcomes there are for Iran or Israel. I will say if there are any people who have summarily lost in this ceasefire, its the Palestinians. Israel has been in full-on aushwitz mode for two weeks. something like 450-500 confirmed deaths and thousands of wounded. There are no functional hospitals any longer. Supplies are gone. The only way to get food is playing squid game every day. Watching Gazans joyously cheering for the missiles raining on Tel Aviv while they starve to death must feel like there’s a reason to hold on. That coming to an end would be like seeing the Soviets get defeated just outside the gates.
Armchair tankie sicko that I am (apparently) I wanted to see the occupied territories reduced to dust, and every person who ever served in the IOF hung until dead. I don’t need to tell anyone here what history is filled with, which is why the rare occasion of justice and triumph over oppression and despicable cruelty burns so fiercely in our hearts.
As comrade Ivy also mentioned. The UNSC – the UN writ large is fucking trash and should be abolished, or the US have its permanent member status card shredded. I’ve always maintained the UN is the water that rinses the blood from the hands of the US empire. I don’t know how anyone could believe anything else. The ICC/ICJ are just tools of international apartheid oppression. The hague is a museum of self-righteousness. In every way the UN has failed the people and nations it pretends to protect, but allows for the real abusers to act with impunity.
Loose threads are the strange media blackout and apparent confusion. It’s worrisome that in a moment of war, the US has the power to seize all public comms because the bullshit global hegemony of US tech companies. I was pretty disappointed with Pakistan. Talk is cheap. But then I was seeing a lot of psychotic hindu nationalists screaming this is the time to wipe out Pakistan for good, so yeah. Yemen is still amazing, but didn’t seem to be able to do more than do some PR and fire a single missile that was intercepted. Hezbollah looks like they tried to retake control of the border, but Shitrael was too prepared for that. Limits of power. I hope there’s more going on. Another unexpected event was Israel invading Iraqi airspace and attacking a radar system at a US military base? What?
No one here thinks this is over. Maybe shit is popping off again right now. This outcome is unexpected – or at least jarring. Hopefully the coming situation favors the resistance more than it favors Shitrael. The zionist tumor must be purged from humanity and urgently. I also continue to stand firmly with all our West Asian comrades in the fight against imperialism, colonialism and genocide.
I recently watched a woman screaming, picking up the chunks of a child’s body in her arms and realizing she had nowhere to take them. the fear and sadness in their faces…
I’m doing what I can and it’s not enough. It’s selfish to care about my own hope, the thought of Gazans losing the hope Iran gave them is too much.
Had the same thought
That is what it kinda looks like. Doesn’t seem hopeful for Palestinians, if not suing for more on their behalf
Narrative management to give an excuse the US to intervene more? idk, I’m just trying to understand what’s actually going on
PressTV stream says they “might” be 30 minutes into the ceasefire
Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich: said that “Iran will waver” after Iran’s latest missile attack on Israel. Might have been “Tehran will shake”
