Israel Attacks Iran | WWIII | The Fourth Turning Global War | Updated
ELINT News @ELINTNews"
Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public – and didn't express opposition in private. "We had a clear U.S. green light," one claimed.

We in the UK woke up to the news that, overnight, the Israeli military had launched “targeted strikes” against Iran, specifically nuclear facilities for the enrichment of Uranium (allegedly) and military leadership.
So far, Iran has claimed five people have died as a result of the strikes, including Hossein Salami the leader of the Revolutionary Guard. The Iranians also claim some civilian casualties, including children, so we can probably expect that the number will increase at some point.
In response, Iran has supposedly fired over a hundred drones towards Israel, all of which have been intercepted according to Israeli sources.
They’ve also been trading barbs on Twitter, which is apparently a thing that happens during wars now…
It’s hard to see what the point of the bombing – nicknamed Operation Rising Lion – could possibly be, aside from escalation for escalations sake.
On the US side, Donald Trump and Marco Rubio have both claimed they knew about the strikes but that they were a “unilateral decision” by Israel, and the US was not involved. A parade of other world leaders have made non-committal and fairly interchangeable statements about “restraint” or “remaining calm”.

Iran Withdraws from Nuclear Negotiations with United States
TheGatewayPundit.com | Cassandra MacDonald
Iran has withdrawn from nuclear talks with the United States, which were scheduled to take place on Sunday in Oman.
The meeting was cancelled on Friday in response to Israeli attacks on high-rise buildings and nuclear facilities in and around Tehran.
President Donald Trump and his administration had been working for months to reach a deal with Iran, reportedly urging Israel to hold off strikes as the negotiations were ongoing. The Wall Street Journal reports that Trump told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to strike during a phone call on Monday.
Iranian news outlet Ahram reports that the talks have been suspended “until further notice.”
The Iranian government believes the United States was involved in the attack despite statements to the contrary made by the Trump administration, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
“The Zionist enemy carried out this attack with the help of the United States and targeted residential areas,” a spokesperson for the Iranian armed forces said in a statement. “Israel will pay a heavy price and should expect a strong response from us. That response will definitely come.”
Oman’s leadership has also condemned Israel’s attack.
“Israel’s unilateral attack on Iran is illegal, unjustifiable and a grave threat to regional stability,” Oman Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi wrote on X in response to the strikes. “I condemn it and urge the global community to come together to reject Israeli aggression and support de-escalation and diplomacy with one voice.”
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Hossein Salami and nuclear scientists Mehdi Tehranchi and Fereydoon Abbasi were among those killed in the attacks.
In a post to Truth Social on Friday, Trump urged Iran to come to a deal.
Trump wrote:
I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to “just do it,” but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn’t get it done. I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come – And they know how to use it. Certain Iranian hardliner’s spoke bravely, but they didn’t know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!

Israel Launched A Wave Of Air Strikes Across Iran Early On Friday Morning With Over 200 Israeli Warplanes
TapNewsWire.com | Ian
TheTruthSeeker.co.uk
Israel launched a wave of air strikes across Iran early on Friday morning with over 200 Israeli warplanes.
Around one hundred sites linked to Iran’s military or its nuclear program were targeted
At least six Iranian nuclear scientists have been killed, as well as a number of senior military commanders.
At around 3.00 am Israeli jets struck several residential buildings in Tehran that were home to senior Iranian Revolutionary Guards commanders, as well as the homes of senior Iranian nuclear scientists.
The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Bagheri and commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Major General Hossein Salami were both killed in the pre-dawn strikes.
Videos circulating on social media reportedly show widespread destruction in residential areas of Tehran.
Iran has denounced the strikes as a “declaration of war” and senior Iranian military commanders are reportedly preparing to launch retaliatory counter strikes against Israel.
Meanwhile, President Trump has warned of even more brutal attacks to come if Iran didn’t agree to a deal over its nuclear program.
However, Trump’s warning will only underline suspicions that the U.S.president had prior knowledge of the Israeli strikes and that the U.S. may even have helped Israel logistically to carry out the attacks.
Israeli warplanes also struck Iran’s Natanz nuclear facility, although the Iranian authorities claim that the damage was limited to buildings on the surface. Iran’s more sensitive nuclear equipment is housed in bunkers deep underground.

Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei and Ministry of Foreign Affairs Release Statement Following Israeli Military Strikes – “Zionist Regime Should Anticipate a Severe Punishment”
TheGatewayPundit.com | Jim Hoft
On Friday morning Israeli military forces attacked several locations in Iran including residential areas in the capital, Tehran. Several explosions were heard across the country.
At the same time, images of several locations in Tehran being targeted were posted on social media. Currently, no official has commented on the possible cause or dimensions of these incidents. At the same time, the Israeli Minister of War issued a decree declaring a special state of emergency on Friday morning.
The international news reported Thursday that numerous countries recalled their officials from many embassies in the Middle East prior to the anticipated Israeli strikes.
Iranian Supremen Leader Ayatollah Khamenei released a statement following the massive destruction of the Israeli military strikes on the country.
Ayatollah Khamenei:
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful To the great Iranian nation! Zionist regime has committed a crime in our dear country today at dawn with its satanic, bloodstained hands. It has revealed its malicious nature even more than before by targeting residential areas.
The powerful hand of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic will not abandon it, God willing.
Several commanders and scientists were martyred in the enemy attacks. Their successors and colleagues will immediately resume their duties, God willing.
The Zionist regime prepared a bitter and painful fate for itself with this crime and it will definitely receive it.
That [Zionist] regime should anticipate a severe punishment .By God’s grace, the powerful arm of the Islamic Republic’s Armed Forces won’t let them go unpunished.
In the enemy’s attacks, several commanders and scientists have been martyred. God willing, their successors and colleagues will carry on with their duties without delay.
With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared for itself a bitter, painful fate, which it will definitely see.
In the Name of God, the Beneficent, the Merciful
The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs also released a statement on Friday following the Israeli attack.

Expanding Middle East War. US-Israeli Attack on Iran, Military Escalation
Genocide is on The Drawing Board of the Pentagon. The Zionist Lobby is firmly aligned with U.S. Foreign Policy
Prof Michel Chossudovsky | GlobalResearch.ca
On October 1st, 2024 Iran launched Operation “True Promise 2: about 180 missiles were deployed (NYT).A coordinated missile Strike has completely destroyed Israel’s F-35 Base Nevatim “among other key targets”.
“The facility hosts both of the Israeli Air Force’s F-35 fifth generation fighter squadrons, and was previously intended to host a third squadron of the fighters after they were delivered” (Military Watch Magazine)
Teheran has confirmed that the attack was launched in response to Israel’s assassinations of Hamas chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah’s chairman Hasan Nasrallah:
“According to a statement released by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards, the attack was aimed at “three military bases” in the Tel Aviv area:
Labelled “True Promise 2,” the operation follows a year of escalating tensions between Tehran and Tel Aviv, and represents a long awaited retaliatory attack after an Israeli strike on Tehran on July 31.
Iran was previously reported to have agreed not to retaliate if Israel deescalated hostilities, with Israel’s invasion and intensive bombardment of Lebanon and assassination of the leadership of the Iranian aligned militia group Hezbollah having been seen to have broken this agreement.” (Military Watch Magazine)
The fundamental question is whether this retaliatory attack will lead to escalation, including an Israeli counter-attack on Iran.
In March 2025, President Trump threatened Iran with an all out war.
On June 12, Israel launched a massive attacks against Iran.
Iran confirmed that it would retort with a Mega Strike against Israel.
According to the Times of Israel:“The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported that Iran has launched more than 100 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) toward Israel in recent hours..This large-scale drone attack is a direct response to Israel’s recent airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear and military facilities, including sites in Tehran. According to military sources, the drones are expected to take several hours to reach Israeli airspace, providing limited time for defense systems to prepare..The situation marks a significant escalation in hostilities between the two nations, with both sides signaling a readiness for continued confrontation amid growing regional tensions.”

Over 200 Israeli Warplanes Used Against Iran, Trump Warns 'Even More Brutal' Attacks Coming Without Nuclear Deal
Iran Vows To Continue Nuclear Activities Amid Threat Of More Israeli Strikes
Tyler Durden | ZeroHedge News | ZeroHedge.com
There are emerging reports of possibly more waves of Israeli attacks, with state media reporting new, loud blasts heard near an airbase in west Iran. Netanyahu has vowed to keep up the attacks 'as long as necessary' to degrade and destroy Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran has long defended as only for peaceful nuclear energy purposes.
Importantly, Iranian leaders have made clear their intent to continue enriching uranium, and even to potentially expand its nuclear activities. Israeli attacks "will not affect our determination" to continue nuclear activities in Iran, state TV reports, as cited in Bloomberg.
Iran’s spokesperson for the Atomic Energy Organization Behrouz Kamalvandi confirmed damage as a result of Israel's attack on Natanz nuclear site. He claimed that most of the damage is limited to the surface, and that there were no casualties at the stie. There have been no signs of a radiation breach as of yet, the IAEA has said in follow-up. And Al Jazeera writes:
Fars news agency reports “unofficial statistics” saying that more than 70 people were killed and more than 320 were injured in Israel’s attacks.
Fars is managed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps and considered semi-official state media of the Iranian government.
Trump to WSJ on the impact on markets:
"I think ultimately, it would be great for the market because Iran will not have a nuclear weapon. ... Iran won't have a nuclear weapon that was a great threat to humanity."
Trump was "pretending"...
Up until yesterday the Trump White House had been publicly distancing itself from any potential Israeli attack on Iran. But that major attack did occur overnight, reportedly involving over 200 Israeli warplanes, as well as potential intelligence-assisted drone attacks on the ground conducted by Mossad assets.
And yet following days of contradictory messaging coming from the White House, President Trump has told ABC news early Friday that "there's more to come" in terms of Israeli military action that the operation was "excellent". ABC's Jonathan Karl writes:
I just spoke to President Trump and asked him about the Israeli attack on Iran. Here’s what he told me: "I think it's been excellent. We gave them a chance and they didn't take it. They got hit hard, very hard. They got hit about as hard as you're going to get hit. And there's more to come. a lot more."
Washington and Tehran were literally days away from the next round of nuclear negotiations, and this certainly wasn't the messaging Trump was sending just over 24 hours ago.
Either he could be trying to save face as Israel perhaps went rogue, or the more likely scenario is that Washington quietly approved what Israel is defending as a 'preemptive attack' to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons (a narrative Tel Aviv has been pushing going back to the 1990s).
And more from Trump on Friday morning, as the smoke still smolders over Tehran and Iranian nuclear energy sites in other parts of the country:
This certainly isn't going to hasten negotiations, it is their death knell, and Iran has issued a statement saying it holds the United States responsible for last night's attack and destruction.
Iran has said it is preparing a "harsh response" - with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei warning that Israel faces a "bitter and painful" fate. "By God’s will, the powerful hand of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic will not let it [Israel] go unpunished," he said Friday.
Government and residential buildings in Iran were damaged, and as we reported earlier, top nuclear scientists and military officials were targeted and in some instances killed, most importantly the head of IRGC, General Major Gen. Hossein Salami.
Al Jazeera has listed that trikes have been confirmed in the following locations:
- The capital, Tehran, and military sites in the surrounding area.
- The city of Natanz, where explosions were reported at the main uranium enrichment facility.
- The city of Tabriz, where explosions have been reported near a nuclear research centre and two military bases.
- The city of Isfahan, south of Tehran.
- The city of Arak, southwest of Tehran.
- The city of Kermanshah, west of Tehran.
Iran has already appointed a new IRGC leader, per WSJ. Gen. Mohammad Pakpour has been placed in charge of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Maj. Gen. Sayyed Abdolrahim Mousavi has made chief of staff of the armed forces, while Lt. Gen. Ali Shadmani was named to succeed Lt. Gen. Gholam Ali Rashid. How it allegedly unfolded, per Israeli sources cited in the WSJ:
The majority of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps air force leadership was killed by an Israeli military strike, according to defense minister Israel Katz.
The group were convening in an underground bunker, the minister said in a statement. Israeli intelligence determined that overnight, senior air force leaders were in an underground meeting preparing to attack Israel, the Israeli military said in a statement.
Fighter jets struck the location, killing Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the air force. Along with him, Israel killed the commander of Iran’s UAV force and the commander of aerial command, the military said.
Major fire near Tabriz Airport in Iran after attack...
In a remarkable revelation (if true), the Wall Street Journal describes an operation that's parallel to both Ukraine's 'Operation Spider's Web' and Israel's covert pager bombings of Hezbollah:
Long before Israel launched its attacks against Iran on Friday, agents from Mossad smuggled explosive drones and other guided weapons into Iran. As the attack got under way, Mossad assets on the ground used the drones and other weapons to attack Iran’s air-defense system and ballistic-missile launchers: WSJ
Fox News' Chief Foreign Correspondent Trey Yingst writes:
On the strikes against IRGC Air Force leadership: Israel tricked the top command of Iran’s air force into a meeting and then kept them there, I’m told by an Israeli security official.
“We did specific activities to help us understand things about them and then used that information to make them act in a specific way,” the official said. “We knew this would make them meet, but more importantly we knew how to keep them there.”
The Israeli army said it had damaged the Natanz uranium enrichment site’s underground structures. It says that "vital infrastructure at the site that allows for its continuous functioning and the continued advancement of the Iranian regime’s project to obtain nuclear weapons was attacked."

Friday the 13th - Netanyahu-Trump Fulfill Doomsday Prophecy
HenryMakow.com
Henry Makow
In 1990 when Netanyahu was Israel's UN ambassador, he promised Chabad leader Menachem Schneerson that he would bring about armageddon, a prerequisite for return of the Jewish Messiah.
Trump, Putin and Netanyahu belong to Chabad a Jewish supremacist cult dedicated to exterminating all those who refuse to obey and worship them as God. This includes assimilated Jews.
Freemasons are on both sides of every major war which is a pretext for depopulation and increased social control. Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, Israel, Russia and the US are all led by Freemasons.
The IDF says the attack will last another ten days!
DC Martin- Trump's statements make it as clear as day--Jewish Nationalist extremists own America:
ELINT News @ELINTNews" - Two Israeli officials claimed to Axios that Trump and his aides were only pretending to oppose an Israeli attack in public – and didn't express opposition in private. "We had a clear U.S. green light," one claimed.
Donald Trump on the war against Iran:
"I gave Iran chance after chance to make a deal. I told them, in the strongest of words, to "just do it," but no matter how hard they tried, no matter how close they got, they just couldn't get it done. I told them it would be much worse than anything they know, anticipated, or were told, that the United States makes the best and most lethal military equipment anywhere in the World, BY FAR, and that Israel has a lot of it, with much more to come - And they know how to use it.Certain Iranian hardliner's spoke bravely, but they didn't know what was about to happen. They are all DEAD now, and it will only get worse! There has already been great death and destruction, but there is still time to make this slaughter, with the next already planned attacks being even more brutal, come to an end. Iran must make a deal, before there is nothing left, and save what was once known as the Iranian Empire. No more death, no more destruction, JUST DO IT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE. God Bless You All!"
The conflict looks contrived. Why can't Iran shoot down attacking jets? Why don't they just close the Strait of Hormuz to force peace?
