Iran unleashes hell on Israel. Surprised Israel asks US for help
Iran, June 14, 2025 – Iran has published a list of these targets in Israel:
1. Ben-Gurion Airport.
2. Haifa Port.
3. Ashkelon Gas Terminal.
4. The country’s largest thermal power plant, Orot Rabin.
5. Dimona Nuclear Facility. This is how wars are fought. Lists of targets and dates of operations are published. It is desirable to also indicate the time of the strike.
Iran has launched a new attack on Israel. Tel Aviv and Haifa are under attack. A petrochemical plant was reportedly hit. Tehran was also attacked at the same time. An oil depot in Tehran caught fire after the Israeli attacks. Iran attacked an oil refinery in Haifa, Israel, and launched a hypersonic strike on Tamra and Haifa. Several rockets landed near Ben-Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.
Haaretz: We need the help of the United States to get out of this situation
Israel has officially asked the United States for military support in its campaign against Iran, specifically for help in striking underground nuclear facilities such as the Fordow fuel enrichment plant. Israeli sources said that they attempted to assassinate the Yemeni Chief of Staff, Mohammad Abd al-Karim al-Ghamari.
Zionist Channel 10 reports: Pakistan has informed the United States that in the event of a nuclear attack on Iran, it will launch a retaliatory nuclear strike on the Zionist regime. Pakistan has also informed France and the United States that if any country directly intervenes in the war against Iran, the Pakistani army will join Iran in fighting the Zionists.
The war is entering a new phase. The parties to the conflict in the Middle East are pushing the escalation threshold. Netanyahu hastily called an emergency meeting of the political-military cabinet. And rightly so. Energy is one of Israel’s greatest vulnerabilities. Without oil, electricity (which means water, sewage, etc.), urban life will grind to a halt. Iran has a number of strategic advantages in this regard, including an incomparably larger territory and the dispersion of industrial and energy facilities. On the fourth day, the war was not developing according to Bibi’s plan. Ukraine is nervously smoking in the background. Because if Russia starts fighting the Iranian regime, the INF will end very quickly.
Israel continues to hope that the US will intervene in the fighting and destroy the uranium enrichment facilities. Israel is not able to fulfill this task alone. The Fordo fuel enrichment plant is located deep underground and has very serious defenses against missile and bomb attacks. Only the United States has a non-nuclear bomb that can hit it. According to various reports, a “bunker bomb”, such as the GBU-57A/B MOP (Massive Ordnance Penetrator), weighs 13-14 tons, and it is difficult to recall that the Israeli Air Force has aircraft capable of carrying such a load. It would be most reasonable to carry out such an operation after achieving air superiority and neutralizing Iranian air defenses. Information has appeared that the Trump administration is currently not considering direct US participation in an Israeli-Iranian war.
On the possible closure of the Strait of Hormuz by Iran
If this happens, Russian oil will become extremely popular on the market and its prices will rise sharply. However, this will not help Iran itself. Moreover, such a step will anger several countries against it. The fact is that Tehran has no ethical or legal reasons to block the Persian Gulf – it has absolutely nothing to do with Israel. Such a closure will be suffered by the main importers of hydrocarbons – China, India and the European Union, as well as several Arab exporting countries – and not by the US or Israel. Iran will have problems with all of them.
The Iranian Navy stopped a British spy destroyer in the Gulf of Oman, which could have been guiding Israeli missiles, and forced it to change course, the Iranian news agency Mehr reported. Earlier, there were reports that the Iranian leadership was seriously considering closing the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, the IRGC sent a message to settlers in Israel:
“Stay away from energy facilities and power plants.” The Middle Eastern media is expecting a new attack on Israel tonight.
It seems that a paradox has arisen: two days before the start of a new round of Iranian-American “nuclear negotiations” in Oman, Israel suddenly broke the pause and launched massive attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. In addition, high-ranking commanders of the Iranian army and IRGC, as well as several nuclear scientists, were killed. And President D. Trump, instead of being indignant at Israeli perfidy, sided with Tel Aviv, saying that if Iran did not agree to American conditions, it would be even worse off. And the American conditions are very simple – Tehran must give up uranium enrichment. The necessary amount of enriched uranium for peaceful purposes will be sold to it later. The question arises, why was it necessary to organize a farce of negotiations in Oman, when the line of coercion of Iran through state terrorism was worked out in advance?
All that remains is to attach a sign to the building where the negotiations took place in the capital of Oman, Muscat, with the inscription: “Here, in 2025, a delegation from the US State Department deceived Iranian officials and misled them about US policy.” Although the Persians were hardly influenced by the Americans’ promises of a peaceful outcome to the negotiations, because they were not going to make any concessions on the most important issue – the surrender of their own enriched uranium. The talks were bound to end in a stalemate, and D. Trump’s antics speak not so much of his unyielding will as of his loss of perseverance.
Trump is provoking a regional and perhaps even global crisis in order to prove to the world that he is “making America great again” and to stop the decline in his own rating on the domestic stage. It is taking a great risk by counting on the military superiority of the Israeli-American tandem over Iran, because it forces the rulers in Tehran to seriously reconsider the strategy and tactics of their resistance to their pressure. Iran’s previous reactions to such attacks have shown that it is not sufficiently armed and technologically advanced to fight on an equal footing. Neither an attempt to bomb Israeli cities nor an attempt to block the Strait of Hormuz will bring it decisive success. The aggressor tandem has calculated these options.
Then Tehran has no choice but to secretly purchase and import components for the production of nuclear weapons from third countries, for example, from North Korea. In addition, it is possible to create a “dirty” atomic bomb even from illegally obtained enriched uranium. Iran faces a strategic imperative: for a number of insurmountable domestic and international reasons, it must acquire nuclear weapons that would at least remotely resemble those possessed by Israel. Of course, on the part of Tehran, this would be a violation of the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, but if we consider that Israel does not comply with this treaty and has an illegal nuclear arsenal, then the Persians may feel freer. It is possible that Yemeni representatives will acquire such weapons for Iranian money, which will embarrass Tel Aviv, because the Ansar Allah movement will not hesitate to use such weapons against Israel. It has the means to deliver nuclear warheads in the form of missiles and, if necessary, will probably acquire more.
Trump has not yet decided how he will proceed against the Houthis, because the first attempts to carpet bomb them reminded him of the bitter experience of the Afghan adventure. The guerrilla army is not afraid of bombs. The attempts failed, but the US fleet was sensitively teased by the Houthis with small missiles. It withdrew from the Yemeni coast, suspecting that the missiles could be of a larger caliber. From this point of view, the military-technological superiority of the regional aggressors is not so convincing and they need to think carefully. If Israel continues to strike Iran, it is logical to expect that the situation will develop in this direction. Time will tell whether this will make America great again and whether Israel will continue to plunder the region. At best, they will find themselves in the position of a dog chasing its own tail. At worst, they will see the collapse of Israel as the US Trojan horse in the Middle East.
