Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ defence system defeated again
Iran has launched a series of strikes this evening on Israeli capital Tel Aviv, including apparent hypersonic missiles, penetrating Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ missile defence system to cause repeated explosions and large clouds of smoke over the city’s skyline.
The attack comes in retaliation for Israel’s unprovoked, large-scale attack on Iran in the early hours of Friday, targeting Iran’s civil nuclear facilities and assassinating several military leaders and nuclear scientists. Even the US CIA does not believe Iran is actively pursuing nuclear weapons, but Netanyahu has repeatedly used Iran’s supposed pursuit as an excuse for military strikes. The UK government stated that Israel was ‘defending itself’.
Iran fired back around a hundred drones immediately after the Israeli bombing, but tonight’s ballistic strikes show yet again Israel’s vulnerability despite its US-provided missile defence systems:
Footage of the missiles launching was shown on Iranian TV:
Video of the aftermath of the missile strikes was shown in Israel:

According to Andrei Martyanov…..
https://smoothiex12.blogspot.com/2025/06/thaad-where-are-you.html
….the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center at Dimona in the Negav desert has been struck,
The Israeli ware criminals attempt to pound mountainous rock, whilst Iran only has to pound sand.
I’ll happily be corrected…but that video looks remarkably similar to the last time Iran hit the rodents…?
(hope I’m wrong)
As Martyanov observes, let’s count to 24 hours and see what info becomes available.
Although Larry Johnson in tonight’s weekly Intel roundtable states that not only has the Dimona nuclear facility been hit but also the Defence headquarters in Tel Aviv among other targets in a three wave attack involving a first wave designed to draw air defence and concluding with manoeuvrable hypersonic weapons for which there is no defence – at least in the West:
WHY DO WESTERN CAPITALISTS USE VIOLENCE TO ACHIEVE POLITICAL ENDS?
‘Iran’s retaliated, missiles getting through but we don’t gloat at a Zionist come uppance, people are dying and humanity weeps.
When Jews & Palestinians could live together in peace in One Multi-Ethnic Democratic State of Palestine.
Need to boot out the Western right wing political creeps.’
Yours in Peace.
A disappointingly tepid response so far. We shall see when the dust has settled. It’ll be interesting to see how Iranian missile defence copes with the Israeli ‘s next attack.
But as Ray McGovern says in the above video, you wouldn’t put it past Bibi to use nukes to stay in power..

It’s only Iran…for now. I’m more expectant than speculative the rodents will use their ill-gotten nukes – especially if hizbollah, the Yemenis and A.N.Other(s) pile in. Once they runshirt of their ‘iron dome’ missiles and more Iranian ones get through, the rats will hit the button, I’m in no doubt.
And for now – all these pricks cheering israel on (yes YOU, Keef) …the oil prices are are only just starting to rise. They’re gonna go through the roof.
And the rodents caused it, with and through your shithouse acquiesence. They’re gonna cost the ordinary joe tres much mazola.
So much for the ‘pound in your pocket,‘ eh rachel??
*sips tea and listens to the approaching thunderstorm*
Spot on. After the latest set-up, no one will trust the entire West ever again:
The Duran (indispensable YouTube geo-political analysis – give them a “follow”) recorded this interesting situation report yesterday afternoon, before Iran’s response:

And Larry Johnson……..

…opines:
” I believe that Israel’s attack was part of a planned international intelligence and military operation, which included the participation and support of the United States, the United Kingdom, France and Germany. We got the first clue on May 31, when a UN watchdog issued two reports designed to create a narrative that Iran is a rogue nuclear state:
…
This tactic was employed in 2002/2003 to gin up a justification to attack Iraq, who the US insisted had weapons of mass destruction. We now know it was a lie, but the propaganda was effective in producing support in the US and Europe to invade Iraq. We’re seeing a similar effort today, only this time Iran is being falsely accused of enriching uranium to build a bomb. The Iraq WMD lie, like the current calumny against Iran, only has one purpose… justify military action in order to achieve regime change.”
Same MO, same propaganda cover story, same lies.
Anyone who seriously thinks that those who have openly declared their objective to be the break-up, subjugation and effective plunder of Russia and China for the resources located there are going to stop at installing a puppet regime in Iran, I have a bridge to rent to them.
The sociopaths running the Collective West have already been through six of the seven countries on the list revealed by former US general Wesley Clarke in his 2007 interview. Using sanctions, threats, economic warfare, bombing back to the Stone Age anyone who stands up to their bullying.
Iran, via the proxy ethnic state of Israel, is just another front – like Ukraine and Taiwan – using proxies as cover and cannon fodder to continue the same objectives which drove the Crusades.
And with all those subjugated people, there will be no requirement for the local populations of the Western states. We will become surplus to requirements in short order. It really is long past the time the Western elites and their flunky’s should be facing the pitchforks, flaming torches and what goes with that before they decimate their own populations as cannon fodder the way they have sacrificed the populations of others they consider lesser human beings than themselves.
Interesting also to note the parallels with Ukraine’s attack on Russian airfields. At least some of the “hits” on Tehran were achieved with drones launched from WITHIN THE TARGET COUNTRY! In both instances, can one detect the hand of MI6 much?
Meanwhile, Matthew 26:52 springs to mind:
