🇮🇷 IRAN TO UN: YOU MADE US ATTACK ISRAEL Iranian National Security Council: "If Israel wants to continue its evil operations, it will receive a response dozens of times stronger.

🚨🇮🇱🇮🇷 WAS THE IRANIAN ATTACK SUCCESSFUL? Biden reportedly told Netanyahu that with minimal damage from Iran's massive drone and missile barrage, it was a WIN for the West. Iran claims victory too, boasting they breached the "ironclad" Western defense system, costing allies a cool BILLION to counter their few hundred million in drones and missiles. What was last night? Besides a potentially deadly fireworks show? Who "won," and what did they win? Can we call it a tie and stop the escalation?

🚨EXILED CROWN PRINCE OF IRAN: ISRAELIS AND IRANIANS HAVE A COMMON DREAM OF PEACE “For many years, I have said that the destinies of the peoples of Iran and Israel are intertwined. We have a common dream of peace, which was taken from us by our common enemy - the Islamic Republic. This regime poses an existential threat to both Iran and Israel and will remain so as long as it is in power. Khamenei’s war is not a war of Iran or the Iranian people... Khamenei and his regime have turned Iran into a backward and isolated country, and by dragging the nation and state into another war, they are only exacerbating the suffering of the Iranians."

🇳🇮🇩🇪ICJ: NICARAGUA TELLS GERMANY TO STOP ARMING ISRAEL “The Jewish victims in the concentration camps during the Second World War would feel sympathy and empathize with the more than 30,000 civilians, including 25,000 mothers and children massacred so far in Palestine, and the 20,000 children orphaned, and two mothers being killed every hour. States like Germany that sympathize with what the state of Israel was meant to represent when it was created should be doing their best to put a stop to what is happening and not continue backing Israel in practice. Even though they now, at least in public, perhaps forced by the enormous public outcry, make statements for peace six months after the start of the massacre, perhaps also in reaction to the present case before the court.” Source: Reuters
