Russia warned the United States against even thinking about supporting Israel‘s attacks on Iran as the burgeoning conflict entered its sixth day.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on Wednesday that direct U.S. military assistance to Israel could radically destabilise the situation in the Middle East.
Ryabkov said Russia cautions the U.S. against supplying such assistance to Israel – as the ministry warned Israeli strikes on nuclear facilities had pushed the region ‘millimetres away from catastrophe’.
The remarks came as the Ayatollah Khamenei issued a chilling threat to the U.S., warning that ‘any US military intervention will undoubtedly be accompanied by irreparable damage’.
‘This nation will not surrender to anyone in the face of imposition,’ he said in his first televised comments since Israel launched its surprise attack on Friday.
The stark warning came as U.S. officials indicated that Iran has 24 to 48 hours to surrender and save itself from American invention as President Trump considers joining Israel’s war.
White House officials said the next two days will be critical in determining whether Washington and Tehran can find a diplomatic solution to the burgeoning crisis in the Middle East.
Aspokesman of the Iranian Armed Forces has confirmed the shooting down of two Israeli F-35 fifth generation fighter aircraft during clashes on June 13, with state media subsequently reporting the capture of one female pilot who landed on Iranian soil after ejecting.
Although the veracity of these claims remains in question, an assessment of the circumstances of the F-35’s operations, and the capabilities of Iranian air defences, provides context which is invaluable to evaluating the likelihood that such shootdowns were achieved.
The F-35 is the only modern fighter currently in the Israeli Air Force’s fleet, with none of the service’s F-15s or F-16s having been produced at or modernised to a ‘4+ generation’ standard, while all continue to rely on mechanically scanned array radars considered effectively obsolete for high intensity engagements.
Confirmation that Israeli attacks on Iranian targets used not only air-launched missiles, which can be fired from F-15s and F-16s far beyond Iranian airspace with little risk to the aircraft, but also gravity bombs which these older fighters would struggle to brave Iranian airspace to drop, makes it highly likely that Israeli F-35s flew deep into Iranian airspace to attack their targets. Such operations are unprecedented, with prior Israeli attacks on Iran having consistently been launched from far outside the country’s airspace.
Although the F-35 retains advanced stealth capabilities, and Iranian air defences have shown signs of considerable limitations in the past, the sheer scale of Iran’s arsenal of air defence assets, the sophisticated capabilities of many of its systems, and the size of its fighter fleet, make it highly possible that F-35s were shot down.
Significant intelligence was collected and surveillance was carried out to incriminate senior Iranian security officials and nuclear scientists who were eliminated.
Alongside this, a covert operational campaign to damage Iran’s strategic missile array. The Mossad carried out a series of covert operations in Iran, which were intended to damage Iran’s strategic missile array and its air defense capabilities.
As part of their activities, Mossad agents implemented significant moves to introduce special weapons on a large scale, deploy them throughout Iran, and launch them towards the attack targets in a precise and effective manner.
These are three different operations:
First, in central Iran, squads of Mossad commando fighters operated to deploy operational systems of precision-guided weapons, in open areas near the location of Iranian surface-to-air missile systems (SAM).
With the beginning of the Israeli attack, in parallel with the air force attacks throughout Iran, the systems were trained and activated, and the precision missiles were launched directly at the targets at once and with great accuracy.
In another operational campaign to thwart Iran’s air defense capabilities that threaten Israeli fighter jets, the Mossad, in secret operations, planted sophisticated attack systems and technologies on vehicles. With the start of the surprise attack, the weapons were launched and completely destroyed the targets of the attack – the Iranian defense systems.
In the third campaign, the Mossad established a base of explosive drones that were infiltrated into the heart of Iran long before the attack by Mossad agents. During the Israeli attack, the explosive drones were activated and launched at the surface-to-surface missile launchers (SGMs) located at the Asfaqabad base near Tehran and that pose a threat to strategic targets and Israeli citizens.
I am not so sure Trump is complicit. Ofc, he knew what was coming. What he says and what he does are not the same. A different analysis from Macgregor’s is Trump has distanced himself from Netanyahu and is not going play along with him. I would keep both analyses and more in mind as events, which are beyond our control and knowledge, continue to unfold. Don’t place too much stock in who makes the right guesses in matters like this. The future is not a roulette wheel to be bet upon. The present is something we analyze and assess. There are many unknowns in an event of this magnitude. ABN
I am seeing the assertion that Israel’s Mossad had a secret drone base or bases or caches of drones prepositioned in Iran and that these were used in the attack, which took out military leaders first; then nuclear sites.
The tactic of using concealed drones appears to have been roughly similar to the one used in Ukraine’s attacks on Russian bombers. It’s cheap and fairly easy to do.
Obviously, USA can expect something like this, and probably soon. Tomorrow is a big day and would appeal to anyone planning attacks like this.
Under Biden-Harris-Mayorkas, some two million migrant ‘got-aways’ escaped into USA. Military operatives will surely be among them. ABN
According to most information flowing from the region, a second wave attack from Israel us underway (or just completed). The first wave targeting was the Iranian military leadership and nuclear scientists, the second wave hitting the nuclear installations.
We could tell from the initial targeting, the IDF were not targeting hardened installations, they were targeting people who run them where they live in the middle of the night. This appears to be confirmed by ground reporting of residences being the target with highly strategic Mossad agents on the ground doing major intelligence activity to identify the targets. It appears Israel was very successful (but still really early).
That approach also establishes the baseline for internal Iranian political opposition to push for regime change.
The second wave of Israeli targeting then goes directly at the nuclear installations. This approach also makes sense. First round takes out the brain power, second round takes out their hardened facilities (much more difficult to eliminate).
As the operation proceeds, we now turn focus to the U.S. interests, and this is where we use hindsight to last Sunday’s Camp David meeting.
Secretary of State / National Security Advisor Marco Rubio emphasizes Israel is acting “unilaterally,” without USA support. President Trump proactively and strategically emphasizes his preferred approach of “diplomacy.”
Some will doubt, but I would draw your attention to Trump’s relay of the call with Vladimir Putin last week. Obviously, President Trump understood Israel was on the cusp of taking some ‘unilateral’ action, albeit with a likelihood of a head’s-up to USA of approximate timing (Sunday Camp David as a proactive ‘get us prepped’ agenda).
The scenario begins to become self-evident when you consider that President Trump redirected 20,000 patriot defense missiles from Ukraine to Israel, much to the chagrin and anger of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy as expressed June 9th. Which also takes us into the conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Under this scenario, Camp David on Sunday would likely be a coordination meeting between President Trump, Secretary/NSA Marco Rubio and top military officials where the topic was getting our interests prepared and shifted as the administration knew this week something was going to happen with Iran. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday the U.S. moves personnel and non-essentials into a more secure and stable environment. Friday, Boom.
Back to Putin.

Millions if not billions of people now believe that the world is under a bioweapons attack. A lot of blame has been placed on the US funding of bioweapons. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the US NIAID/NIH has come under severe criticism for funding the infamous “Gain of Function” research. Many believe Fauci has not acted alone or even on his own accord. The Author worked as a fellow at NIAID/NIH from 1988 to 1991, starting soon after Fauci became head of NIAID. The author witnessed first hand infiltration of NIAID/NIH by Israel’s Mossad. While working at NIAID/NIH one or more coworkers expressed a need to “preempt the next Jewish Holocaust”. For thirty years since leaving NIH the Author has paid close attention to Mossad’s involvement in illegal US bioweapon activity and attempts to disclose his observations. The Author hopes to educate the public on the current bioweapon attack with COVID-19 and vaccines. The Author believes that Mossad intends to kill billions of people. Already 70% of the world’s population have received a COVID-19 vaccine which in all appearance has the ability to cause deadly non curable prion disease. The Author hopes the information provided will help those interested in ending this covert war.
Israeli Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Brodsky has confirmed that his country has transferred MIM-104 Patriot air defence systems to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. “The Patriot systems that we once received from the U.S. are now in Ukraine. These are Israeli systems that were in service in the early 1990s. We agreed to transfer them to Ukraine,” the ambassador informed the Ukrainian media outlet Insider.
Speaking on June 8, he notably refrained from specifying the timing of the transfer, and thus did not provide confirmation as to whether reports by Western sources in January 2025 of such transfers were accurate, or whether the systems were delivered more recently. Brodsky further refrained from elaborating on the number of systems which have been delivered, meaning it will likely remain uncertain whether Israel agreed to supply its entire arsenal, or has maintained some units in storage. It has been reported that radars and other parts of the Israeli systems will first be refurbished in the United States before delivery to Ukraine.
SCOTUS has become a communist sociology department. This is a usurpation of powers they do not have. It’s easy to see their bias by comparing their lack of concern for due process in the J6 cases. We can see this logically as well because it is obviously impossible to right mass illegal migration under Biden-Harris-Mayorkas by awarding individual due-process rights to every illegal they ushered in. The punishment must fit the crime and the law must fit the situation and both must align with the Constitution. This is so easy to see, it’s fair to accuse several members of the bench of blatant legal and moral malfeasance. ABN
Another Chinese scientist has been charged with smuggling biological materials into the United States after a University of Michigan student and her boyfriend were caught last week.
Chengxuan Han was arrested on Sunday at Detroit Metropolitan airport and charged with smuggling goods into the US.
Police allege Han sent four packages which ‘contained biological material related to round worms’ from China to the US.
The packages were sent between September 2024 and March 2025 and addressed to people linked to the laboratory at the University of Michigan.
Han initially denied sending the packages at all, according to court documents. She later insisted they contained plastic cups, rather than petri dishes.
According to the documents, she ultimately admitted sending the samples, which she had collected during her research as a Ph.D. student in Wuhan, China.
The charges come less than a week after University of Michigan postdoctoral fellow Yunqing Jian, 33, was charged alongside Zunyong Liu, 34, for attempting to smuggle a weapon of ‘agroterrorism’ into the United States in a sinister plot allegedly tied to the Chinese Communist Party.
