Rasslin' Fans,
I'll briefly encapsulate progress on Israeli inducements to the US to enter total war against Iran, as Israel's population becomes war weary, defensive missiles run out, and Netanyahu has been outside the country the whole time, first in Greece, then in London, based upon flight tracking data.
Netanyahu's coalition of aggressive revisionist-Zionists persists in power while it advances aggressive war for territory and elimination of regional resistance rivals. It has been straining the limits of Israeli support recently, as Jewish Israelis are driven out of their dwellings into air raid shelters. It has been losing its aura of invulnerability, but is still seen as a rabid dog with nuclear weapons.
The question arising is whether there is a political path to end the escalation towards Israeli use of nuclear weapons against other countries. American lawmakers are mostly owned by the well-funded Israeli interests, which they keep funding...
Russians are trying to be constructive without assuming much more risk. Chinese are using their new railroad to Iran, and providing air defense missiles through Pakistan, while Trump makes a deal with Iran to bomb emptied Iranian underground nuclear facilities, without Iran shooting at the bombers, let Iran attack emptied US regional military bases, declare "Mission Accomplished" and have a ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Israel and Iran sort of agreed privately, but Israel assassinated another Iranian scientist and his family, and heavily attacked Iran, so Iran shot off some missiles just before the deadline, and Israel sent more bombers to kill Iranians after the deadline. Trump profanely griped at "both" Israel and Iran, and Israel responded by saying "he knew we would attack".
The most tense dynamic seems to be between the Netanyahu coalition maintaining power, and the increasing costs to Israel of the war which maintains them in power. They would "burn the country to rule over the ashes", as Sun Tzu wrote.
Netanyahu is in London, as far as we know, the traditional head of the imperial snake. Imperial finance needs WW-3 (lite?) to be able to write off some bad investments in the Ukraine war and elsewhere.
Finance comes first in this game, so Israelis may well be hostages to more incoming Iranian missiles, which almost completel spare civilians in targeting so far. There has not been enough killing of Israeli civilians to galvanize Jewish Israelis into supporting vengeance upon Iran (yet). Imperial financiers, European old money and bloodline familieswill not give up power willingly. No sacrifice of others is to great to maintain their power.
Trump, to his credit, does appear to have made a show of fake-fighting to create the appearance of "going all the way for Israel", to the brink of WW-3, through the appearance of an illegal, unconstitutional, unprovoked attack on Iranian underground nuclear facilities, which was actually a staged and "fixed" fight for the television audience. The Iranians did not send up one missile or fighter plane against the bombers on this arranged mission.
Iran is declaring that it will continue "unlimited" nuclear enrichment, will exclude IAEA inspectors, who have provided intelligence to Israel, and will keep attacking Israel until Israel stops attacking Iran, since Israel started it. Iran will not tell the IAEA where the enriched uranium is stored, for obvious reasons.
Iran and Israel are now starting the ceasefire over, as Trump does NATO.
Israel is still baiting starving Palestinians with food and murdering them, as well as bombing the rubble and tents in which they seek shelter.
Scott Ritter asserted promptly after the attack that Trump bombed 3 sites, 2 already bombed by Israel, and all already evacuated before the bombing, in order to save face and crow loudly, with the hopes of not really going to war with Iran (which is better than really doing it): Ritter's Rant Ep. 9: Where's the Beef?
President Trump just sent the most sophisticated weapons in the US arsenal to bomb three empty sites in Iran. Why? https://scottritter.substack.com/p/ritters-rant-009-wheres-the-beef
Saturday night: Exclusive: Iran given advance notice as US insisted attack on nuclear sites is ‘one-off’
The story: US President Donald Trump says three key nuclear facilities in Iran have been “obliterated,” while threatening more strikes “if peace does not come quickly.” This comes as Amwaj.media has learned that Washington notified Tehran of the strikes. Speaking on condition of anonymity, a high-ranking Iranian political source confirmed that the Trump administration on June 21 conveyed that it did not seek an all-out confrontation, and only intended to strike the Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear sites. Importantly, the senior source also confirmed that the targeted sites were evacuated, with "most" of Iran's stockpile of enriched uranium kept in secure locations.
The details: The US bombings do not appear to have been conducted from any American military base in the region.
Reports indicate that at least three B-2 bombers flying from the US dropped six 13.6 ton (30,000 lbs) Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bombs on the Fordow underground uranium enrichment site. Experts speculate that two bombs were dropped on each of Fordow’s two main entrances along with two MOPs on the ventilation shaft.
A submarine is believed to have fired 30 Tomahawk missiles at the Natanz uranium enrichment facility as well as the nuclear complex in Isfahan. Notably, both of the sites have been bombed by Israel in recent days.
Citing a “well-placed source,” CBS has reported that “Isfahan and its underground facility was probably a harder target than Fordow.” ... ..The damage: In his June 21 statement, Trump said the targeted Iranian facilities were “completely and totally obliterated,” warning that any potential future attacks would be “far greater and a lot easier.” ... However, initial data that allows a damage assessment is still lacking. Prior to the bombings, some studies suggested that multiple MOPs would need to be dropped in the same craters.....The future: Already under severe attack by Israel, Iran has little interest in a simultaneous all-out war with the US. Prior to the June 21 bombings, Tehran declared that it was open to resuming nuclear negotiations with the Trump administration—but only if Israel ceases its attacks...
..As Amwaj.media previously reported, Israel’s focus on the necessity for Trump to strike Fordow appears to have been designed to convince him to enter a war with Iran. Indeed, Iranian authorities have already indicated that nuclear materials were removed from Fordow. https://amwaj.media/en/media-monitor/exclusive-iran-given-advance-notice-as-us-insisted-attack-on-nuclear-sites-is-one
Simplicius has better intel. The trucks were dump trucks, filling up the entrances, exits and air-vents the American were about to bomb at Fordow, with dirt:

Russia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, has criticised Israel for not being subject to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspection programme, as it is not a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).
Nebenzia made the remarks during an emergency session of the UN Security Council held on Sunday to discuss the recent US attacks on Iran. https://www.middleeastmonitor.com/20250623-russia-criticises-israels-exemption-from-nuclear-inspections/

Michael Hudson has been on for the whole petrobuck epoch: War on Iran is fight for US unipolar control of world
The motivation for the attack on Iran has nothing to do with any attempt by Iran to protect its national sovereignty by developing an atom bomb. The basic problem is that the United States has taken the initiative in trying to preempt Iran and other countries from breaking away from dollar hegemony and U.S. unipolar control.
Here’s how the neocons spell out the U.S. national interest in overthrowing the Iranian government and bringing about a regime change – not necessarily a secular democratic regime change, but perhaps an extension of the ISIS/Al-Qaida Wahhabi terrorists who have taken over Syria.
With Iran broken up and its component parts turned into a set of client oligarchies, U.S. diplomacy can control all Middle Eastern oil. And control of oil has been a cornerstone of U.S. international economic power for a century, thanks to U.S. oil companies operating internationally (not only as domestic U.S. producers of oil and gas) and remitting economic rents extracted from overseas to make a major contribution to the U.S. balance of payments.
Control of Middle Eastern oil also enables the dollar diplomacy that has seen Saudi Arabia and other OPEC countries invest their oil revenues into the U.S. economy by accumulating vast holdings of U.S. Treasury securities and private-sector investments. https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/2025/06/22/michael-hudson-war-iran-us-unipolar-control/

US Military Scrambles For Ways To Protect Bases From Drone Warfare The use of kinetic systems that would simply shoot down a drone are out of the question on American soil, according to military personnel, as they are not cost-effective, and would also run the risk of injuring civilians or damaging property when the debris fell to the ground... ..While the military, and federal government, do have electromagnetic weapons that can knock out drones by interfering with their electrical and navigational systems, these weapons are typically poorly suited to an environment rich in aerial traffic because they affect all electronic systems within a given area.....Many such systems, including variants of weapons using lasers, microwaves, and particle and sound beams, are still in development, but they bring their own problems because of high energy consumption.
According to the Congressional Research Service, the Pentagon’s newest counter-drone weapons would need to draw 100 kilowatts of power to fire a laser in a counter-drone capacity.
That’s more power than the average American household uses in three days, and that figure does not include the additional power requirements for cooling the significant amount of heat generated by such weapons.
It makes defending military installations on U.S. soil from drone attacks an infrastructure problem as well as a defense problem. https://www.zerohedge.com/military/us-military-scrambles-ways-protect-bases-drone-warfare

Pierre Kory MD, Medical Record Review Of the Twins Who Died After Vaccination And A Review Of The Literature Proving SIDS Is Caused By Vaccines
I was asked by Children's Health Defense and the parents to review the medical records of twins found dead in their bed eight days after multiple vaccinations. Related? Yes, says the hidden science. Dallas and Tyson Shaw died on the night of the 7th day following their 18th-month well-baby visit, where they received five vaccinations during that visit - DTaP, Influenza, and Hep A... They were generally healthy, typically developed children for their corrected age, with no issues with hearing or vision. They had also received all the ACIP-recommended vaccines up to that point, although at the time of the visit, they were “behind on DTaP for 3 months," until they both received them on the fateful day of 4/23/25.....The children were immediately taken to the ER on that day, 4/24/25, with documented complaints of “warmth” and "decreased activity." The ER doc documented that it was “likely a reaction to immunization,” but the chart also included a viral URI in the differential diagnosis. Sent home AFTER GETTING TYLENOL ( a risk factor for death, which I will not explore in this post for the sake of brevity)...
..7 days after the vaccines, on April 30th, they were still having diarrhea. Mom tried to get them in to see the pediatrician, but there were no walk-in appointments available....."I went and cleaned up the living room and was getting ready to have them awake. I was waiting for them to wake up. When I went in there to wake them up is when I found them the way they were."
She then describes the way she found them - cold and "they It looked as if they had gone in their sleep. They were in their sleeping positions. I think it's called rigor mortis. Their faces were sleeping faces. I flipped over Tyson because I tried to shake him awake, and he didn't. I flipped him over and I saw him and immediately ran to the living room to grab my phone and call 911. And I went back into the room and sat on their bed, and then that's when I flipped Dallas over and saw her the same way." ...
..Imagine drowning in grief over the sudden deaths of your beloved babies while having to endure aggressive and accusatory questioning by detectives? Welcome to the even darker side of the childhood vaccine program, folks.....MY IMPRESSION AS TO THE CAUSE OF DEATH OF THE SHAW TWINS
IMPRESSION: Sudden death from severe apnea caused by recent vaccination at 18-month wellness visit. The underlying pathophysiology was likely due to micro-strokes and/or neuroinflammation in the respiratory control center in the brainstem, with micro-strokes caused by “blood sludging/clumping” from loss of zeta-potential due to the inflammatory and or hypercoagulable components of the vaccines.
The deaths occurred on the night of Day 7 post-vaccination, a time when apnea episodes spike post-vaccination as per this carefully done study from 1991. https://pierrekorymedicalmusings.com/p/medical-record-review-of-the-twins

CDC Scientist Leaves Agency Over Split With RFK Jr.Dr. Fiona Havers told The New York Times that she resigned from the CDC on June 16 because she disagrees with the approach to vaccines under Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
“If it isn’t stopped, and some of this isn’t reversed, like, immediately, a lot of Americans are going to die as a result of vaccine-preventable diseases,” Havers said.
Kennedy’s approach so far has included the narrowing of COVID-19 vaccine recommendations and the removal of all members of the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP).
Kennedy has since named eight new members to the panel, which provides advice on immunizations to the CDC.
“I could not be party to legitimizing this new committee,” Havers told The New York Times. https://www.zerohedge.com/political/cdc-scientist-leaves-agency-over-split-rfk-jr
