b9AcETrumps on Israel's war of aggression attacks bombing Iran: "I think it's been excellent."
https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/trump-israel-attack-iran-excellent-more-come-abc-interview-2025-06-13/
Well, I think you're a jingoistic moron, a danger to everyone on earth and actually the underlying root cause for these attacks since it was YOU personally who broke the previous agreement with Iran which was effectively keeping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. So there's that.
Oh, whoops.
I now noticed that I accidentally broke my toots-thread dedicated to Israel's war of aggression bombings of Iran (and related) during the night to today.
My first thread accidentally ended here https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/114673285586626180 while it should have continued with everything in this thread.
Tabriz, NW Iran, attacked by Israel again, ~¾h ago:
Unofficial numbers for only the war of aggression attacks on Tehran by Israel so far since during the night to today is 78 dead and 329 injured,
in addition to whatever the numbers may be outside Tehran too.

Four more videos of the latest war of aggression bombing at Tabriz, NW Iran, by the Netanyahu Gang:
'Iran imposes internet restrictions after Israel attack [...] "will be lifted once normalcy returns."'

So that explains the decrease in reports.
Also, what do you mean by "normalcy"? Will the Mullahs regime resign and let the people have a normal political life? (─←sarcasm)

Erdoğan commented Israel's war of aggression attacks in Iran during night to today and onwards.
─────
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday warned Israel was seeking to drag the world into "disaster" after strikes on Iran, urging the international community to stop what he called Israel's "banditry."
"The international community must put an end to Israeli banditry that targets global and regional stability," said Erdogan.

I mean... everyone should protest Israel's war of aggression bombings, anyone's war of aggression anything, but... maybe not Erdoğan, specifically.
At one point I counted that douche being in a total of FIVE wars of aggression on two continents, on the aggressor side, at least,
and is currently in two wars of aggression launched by Erdoğan.
You are exactly the same as Netanyahu. In genocidalism, expansionist aggression, oppressive rule and in being a threat to everyone on earth.

Technically, according to the rules for States agreed to by every State by declaring itself a State, that does mean there is or was a state of war between Israel and Iraq too, although it seems probable Iraq won't push the matter very hard more than demanding the UNSC act and then probably letting it go, is my guess.
Iraq is kinda busy at the moment, e.g. by being occupied by Turkey.

Now the mature people made a statement too on Israel's war of aggression bombings in Iran.
@KCK_Kurdistan_ Executive Council Co-Chairpersons in a rough translation:
────
Following midnight last night, Israel conducted extensive airstrikes against Iran. This attack has further deepened the war that escalated on Oct 7, 2023, causing significant harm to peoples in all respects and leading to destruction and great suffering. Wars developed by States for the sake of power, authority, and hegemony have not only failed to resolve problems but also caused immense harm to peoples. […] The history of the Middle East, adorned with continuous warfare for a century, has sufficiently shown that no problem can be solved through war; it leads to pain, loss, and destruction, further complicating issues and making them insurmountable. We condemn and criticize this war that brings losses to peoples, leads to destruction, and causes harm.
[…]
We reiterate once again that problems in the Middle East can only be solved through democratic modernity and a democratic understanding of nations. The capitalist modernist understanding of a single Nation-State, with its lust for power, authority, and hegemony, has sufficiently proven that through it, it is impossible to establish peaceful life in the Middle East […]

Appears to be the/one of the hit(s) by Iran's ballistic missile(s) in Tel Aviv:
Second wave of ballistic missiles from Iran as well as a new wave of bombs from Israel hitting Tehran, reported at about the same time.
If that was in any way unclear to anyone:
Ballistic missiles are like, pain... owie!
If they head towards you, it's time to play the hiding game until the owies go away.
Don't do this.

Three different reactions by Israeli to Tel Aviv being bombarded and hit with ballistic missiles from Iran earlier, three different perspectives, I suppose.

That looks like multiple hits to me.

Israel's Minister of War, Israel Katz reported to declare that Iran "crossed a red line" by attacking civilian areas in Israel (after Israel bombed civilian areas in Iran for... many hours) and declared that the Iran-regime will pay for its criminal actions...
...which must mean that Katz did criminal actions in Katz's own opinion, because they both committed the same war crime of using high-explosives to attack densely populated areas, weapons which by their nature are indiscriminate in that context.

A video after Israel bombing Tabriz, NW Iran, again now:
The "Free Life Party of [Iran-held part of] Kurdistan" (PJAK) on the Israel/Iran war:
─────
[…] This is a war of power and conflicting interests, not a war of liberation for peoples and nations. It erupted as a result of the Islamic Republic’s expansionist and warmongering policies, showing no regard for the suffering of the Iranian people. The rulers initiated this war, and the costs are being borne by a population already struggling with social and economic crises. The high number of civilian casualties, especially women and children, in Iran and Israel during these attacks highlights the grim reality that states hold little value for people's lives.
The people of Iran should not be forced to choose between war and accepting a dictatorial regime. The Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), which opposes the imposition of war on the people of Iran, emphasizes the principle of democratic struggle. It is the people’s democratic struggle and the unique "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" (Woman, Life, Freedom) revolution that will bring freedom to Iran. Achieving the goals of our democratic revolution undoubtedly requires unity and collaboration among freedom-seekers, democratic forces, national fighters, women, and identity movements.

Counterpoint for balance: The Iran-theocracy declared after the attacks began that they hadn't been building nuclear bombs only civilian nuclear power, but that now because Israel attacked they must build nukes, they claimed.
Counterpoint for reality: Nukes do not deter unless it is proven that one would actually really use them and that can only be proved if one really actually would. Look at the number of wars involving nukes States. They do not deter. Nukes are preparation to commit the worst atrocity ever seen by humankind, can not be accepted for ANYone to have.

Note to the older toot: I thought it looked like an Arash, which is Iran's, but the source said Israeli and that source is usually well informed, so I decided I must have missed Israel having a similar looking one.
I was wrong in believing I was wrong.
The drone was from Iran, an Arash.
Since it's not actually important, I'll let the toot remain with this note, instead of ripping the thread apart and try awkwardly mending it.
pettter@b9AcE It really is a shame that it's hard to edit threads in that way.
@pettter Yeah. Only way is to rip it apart and then do super-awkward stitches by adding toots to each end pointing at each other, but it seems to me many people don't actually go to the other past cross the severing when that happens.
cognitively accessible math@b9AcE the lack of logic is "but we have to defend them when somebody strikes back after they attack!!!"
@geonz It is the same "logic" that Katz expressed today at the latest, same "logic" as probably every habitual spouse/child-beater. "Only *I* am allowed to hit, YOU are not allowed to strike back and if you do as I do then I'll do worse".
