Tensions between Israel and Iran have reached boiling points, with Israel's air defense allegedly neutralizing three drones from Iran in the Dead Sea region overnight. The incident followed a series of war sirens that echoed through the region earlier.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has defended Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, stating, "The entire Israeli policy stands behind the government in this decision, and so do I." Herzog conveyed his thoughts to Bild, expressing his concern over Iran's rapid progress towards a nuclear bomb with uranium enriched to 60 percent. He believes Israel is now eliminating this looming threat proactively.
Meanwhile, Hezbollah, the pro-Iranian militia, has vowed an "appropriate response" in light of the escalating conflict between Iran and Israel. Hezbollah's Chief, Naim Kassem, declared that the group is not neutral but determined to act as it sees fit.
In a surprising turn of events, Iran has appointed Brigadier General Majid Kadami as the new intelligence chief for the Revolutionary Guards. His predecessor, Mohammad Kasemi, was killed in an Israeli air strike alongside two other intelligence officers, Hassan Mohaghegh and Mohsen Bagheri. Coincidentally, General Kadami's appointment comes after the death of the previous Revolutionary Guards commander, Hossein Salami, who lost his life in an Israeli strike on June 13.
According to Iranian military commanders, Iran has secured all highly enriched uranium before Israel's attack, moving all materials away from vulnerable sites. The buildings and factories near the targeted sites remain intact.
Amidst possible US intervention in the conflict, the United States has withdrawn approximately 40 military aircraft from a base in Qatar within two weeks. High-resolution satellite images confirm that the Iranian Chondab reactor has sustained severe damage, and the buildings near the site remain undamaged. Iranian reports suggest that facilities for heavy water production were also hit in Chondab, alongside the reactor.
In the midst of this chaos, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's comment about Israel doing "dirty work" for the West has received a positive response from Israeli President Jitzchak Herzog, who commended Merz's moral clarity. European and American countries continue to silently support Israel's actions in an attempt to thwart the Iranian nuclear program, despite political tension and international criticism.
