Video: Iranian missiles rain down on Israeli capital
With Iran continuing mass retaliatory missile launches on Monday evening, the Israeli regime has ordered a complete block on media coverage of Iranian airstrikes on Israeli territory to try to mask the effectiveness of the strikes:
The regime has reportedly begun arrests of anyone even trying to film the missile strikes or their aftermath, but Iran has released footage of the latest launches, giving a hint of their scale – and it is even being shared by Israeli news media and picked up by anti-genocide activists:
And despite Israel’s efforts to choke off the flow of information about the situation it has created for itself, footage is still leaking out appearing to show what may be the most dramatic and catastrophic – for Israel – strikes on its capital since it started the current exchanges by launching an unprovoked attack on Iran from outside and inside Iranian territory:
Other footage appears to show one or more missiles from Israel’s ‘Iron Dome’ air defence system – launched from within residential areas – failing and falling back to earth among Israeli homes:
Israel had already been forced on Monday to close its Haifa oil refinery because of the extent of the damage from previous days’ strikes. Iran has reportedly threatened that the latest attack, which came after it warned Israelis to leave Tel Aviv for their safety, would last “until dawn”. Israel has banned airlines from carrying passengers out of Israel, leading to a reported stampede of Israelis fleeing by boat.

The worry is, what’s to come?

“Que sera, sera” . You think ANY of this is happening by accident? The US and its rogue state glove puppet ‘scripted’ the whole thing.
The only hope of this no escalating into an all out war that could engulf the whole region, is for Israel to stop attacking Iran asap.
Perhaps, Israel can impose itself on the air, but to force Iran to stand down it would takes boots on the ground and I don’t believe Trump will go for it. If anything because of the high cost to the US.
Israelis are all ready refusing to serve in the army, from Israeli MSM we know many Israelis are already leaving Israel by sea towards Cyprus.
It remind me of the early 80’s Argentina’s Junta attacking the Falklands/Malvinas in an attempt to unite the country around the war effort, only to backfire.
Israel is repeating ad naseum that they are attacking the government of Iran and not the Iranian people, what Israel wants is a change of government in Iran.
What the leadership in Israel doesn’t realise is that perhaps, enough Israelis facing worsening economic conditions, awaiting for an ICJ judgement of genocide, could be persuaded to raise up against their own corrupt government and seek peace as the most efficient way to ensure the survival of Israel.
Yes, it would be better to have regime change in Israel rather than Tehran…. and certain western countries, Russia etc etc. We have very large number of countries with awful, rogue leaders, worse than at any time I can remember.
The “Today” programme reporter from Jerusalem told the audience that some Iranian missiles had got through (seeing the above videos, rather more than a few!!) and they knew what the garget was but WER NOT ALLOWED TO SAY WHAT THE TARGET WAS! At that point I switched off. We’re being taken for fools by our Israeli controlled leaders and media.
Why on earth were you listening to that shite in the first place? We’ve known for years that they take us for fools on a regular basis!
Neither has the BBC R4 ‘Today’ programme reported that Israelis are not allowed to leave Israel. Sure, Israeli airspace is obviously closed, but, apparently, the Poseidon Lines and Salamis Lines ferry trips from Haifa to Cyprus are also closed.
Looks like they’re having yet another ‘lockdown’ in Israel. I wonder if they’ve got a VERY DANGEROUS mRNA vaccine for it yet.
Well timfrom, you have to know what the enemies of the truth are saying.
I came across the following Guardian article a few days ago whilst doing a search re >how many times in the past thirty years has netanyahu said iran is building a nuclear bomb< and, as you will see, the author, Jonathan Freedland – one of the main so-called journalists who participated in the A/S black op smear campaign against Jeremy Corbyn and the left so as to subvert democracy – mentions the fact that Netanyahu has repeatedly done so right at the beginning of his article and just passes over it without pointing out the blatantly obvious, and did so deliberately of course:
This is a war 30 years in the making. Benjamin Netanyahu was talking about the threat of an Iranian nuclear bomb back in the 1990s and he has scarcely let up since. For decades he has believed that a nuclear Iran would represent the one truly existential threat to Israel and that military force is the only sure way to prevent it. Several times during the many years in which Netanyahu has sat in the prime minister’s chair, an all-out strike on Iran’s nuclear facilities has been weighed up, debated and planned for. In the early hours of this morning, it finally happened.
Freedland is one of the Guardian’s senior journalists of course and gets paid a small fortune for churning out his propaganda lies and falsehoods and smears and demonisation and, as in THIS particular case, lying by omission, and deceiving the millions of people who either buy the Guardian newspaper or subscribe to its website or regularly visit it. And you can be absolutely certain that he knows Netanyahu’s justification for starting and provoking a war with Iran is totally fraudulent, as do hundreds of other propagandists working for the Evil Empire.

PS I have no doubt whatsoever that there are hundreds of millions of people around the world – and quite likely billions – who are very pleased to see Israel and the Israelis getting a taste of their own medicine.
And this is well worth watching, posted three days ago:
How Trump Colluded With Israel To Bomb Iran

>how many times in the past thirty years has netanyahu said iran is building a nuclear bomb<
Innumerable times Allan. On average every 4 – 6 weeks, regular as clockwork.
It’s probably easier to quantify how many times false information has been given to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) by Israel. That started in 1987 and has been incessant since the 1990s culminating in the 2018 Israeli-generated “evidence” of a “secret” Iranian nuclear weapons program operating out of facilities at Natanz and Arak. https://www.twz.com/news-features/damning-iaea-report-has-given-israel-additional-pretext-to-strike-iran
The US and its corporate MSM are, of course, fully on board with Israel’s bulldust.
It is not only the crying wolf over who has/is not allowed nuclear weapons, which the corporate/oligarch controlled fifth column fourth estate get their shreddies [army slang for underpants] in a twist over.
Here’s MoA on just how blatantly infantile the Western corporate media’s propaganda actually is:
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2025/06/russia-weaponizes-uk-climate-project-.html
Succinctly summed up by one BTL poster in this pithy observation:
“Same technology is praised or vilified—based only on who uses it.
This reflects a common media pattern:
“If we do it, it’s for our survival. If others do it, it’s an existential threat.”
This is a classic framing double standard, not a reflection of the technology’s merit but of narrative control and tribal bias in media.
🧠 Bottom Line
The coverage isn’t about geoengineering—it’s about who is trusted to use it.
When Western-aligned scientists dim the sun don’t forget—it’s for humanity.
When non-Western actors do the same—it must be a weapon.
