Iran continued to bomb Israel last night (Monday), using yet another new class of ballistic missiles to strike Israeli military positions and the Ashdod power plant, causing widespread power outages.

For the first time, IRGC uses multi-warhead Ghadr-H missiles against Zionist entity

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), in a statement on Monday, announced that it used multi-warhead Ghadr ballistic missiles for the first time during the latest phase of Operation True Promise III.

The latest and 21st phase of the large-scale retaliatory operation began early Monday with a barrage of next-generation missiles that made direct impacts across the occupied territories.

In recent days, the Iranian armed forces have deployed a number of new-generation missiles as part of Operation True Promise III, in response to the continued Israeli aggression.

According to the IRGC statement, this phase of the operation involved both solid- and liquid-fueled missiles, in coordination with smart drone strikes.

One of the key highlights of this phase was the debut of the multi-warhead Kheiber-class ballistic missile Ghadr-H, which was deployed for the first time.

The statement said the missiles, deployed with advanced and surprise tactics aimed at maximizing accuracy, destructiveness, and impact, successfully hit strategic targets across the occupied territories, from north to south and into central areas.

The IRGC said it will continue its efficiency-oriented operations more strongly, leveraging new offensive tactics and exploiting weaknesses in the regime’s multilayered air defense systems.

It emphasized that there will be no pause in the combat operation by the Iranian drones against the Israeli targets, warning that “the Zionist usurpers of the occupied territories will have to hear the sirens constantly and dash into the shelters.”

The statement further noted that Iran’s full-scale national defense campaign will continue until the “complete eradication” of the Zionist regime.

According to sources, Kheibar Shekan, Emad, Ghadr, and Fattah-1 missiles were used in Monday’s operation, striking crucial Israeli military facilities across the occupied territories, including in Safed, Lachish, Ashkelon, Ashdod, and Beit She’an.

The missiles directly targeted the Ashdod power plant, causing widespread power outages throughout the occupied territories, reports said. (Full article.)

Earlier today, Israel notified Iran that they planned on stopping the bombing within the next few days.

From The Times of Israel:

Israel said to convey message to Iran it is seeking to end war within days

Reports indicate Jerusalem believes it can complete its military objectives in the next few days, though it views Khamenei as main obstacle to cessation of fighting

Israel is reportedly looking to wrap up its bombing campaign against Iran after the US joined its strikes against the Islamic Republic’s nuclear sites, and has conveyed as much in a message to Tehran via mediators.

The Wall Street Journal, citing Israeli and Arab officials, reported that Jerusalem is seeking to seize on the accomplishments of the US strikes on facilities in Natanz, Fordo and Isfahan to end the war in the coming days.

Arab officials told The Journal that the US has told Arab partners to pass the message to Iran that Israel is looking to end the operation — which it launched 10 days ago — soon.

The newspaper reported that Israeli officials are hoping Tehran will agree to restart diplomacy on its nuclear program in the wake of the conflict.

According to Channel 12 news, Israel believes it will reach its military objectives for Operation Rising Lion — removing the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile threat from Israel — in the next few days.

On Sunday, an Israeli official told The Times of Israel that Jerusalem is willing to end the bombing campaign if Iran agrees to dismantle its nuclear program. “It depends on Iran, not on us,” the official said. “We are happy to wrap it up now; if there’s an agreement at the end, Israel will be content with the result.” (Full  Article.)

However, Iran has no intention to agree to their terms, and an Iranian official allegedly told CNN today that this conflict could drag on for two more years.

Iran believes the conflict with Israel and its allies could drag on for two years, and Tehran is prepared for that, a senior Iranian official told CNN

Iran believes the conflict with Israel and its allies could drag on for two years, and Tehran is prepared for that, a senior Iranian official told CNN.

He also said the Iranian government wants the United States to “pay directly for the war, rather than supporting Israel and continuing its project without paying the costs.” (Source.)

I am not surprised that Israel wants to end this, as the residents in Tel Aviv and throughout the rest of Israel cannot live in bomb shelters forever. Their society and economy are rapidly falling apart.

As I reported yesterday, chaos is ruling in the bomb shelters, as this report from Al Mayadeen today confirms:

Panic, violence in Israeli shelters prompt emergency mediation program

Overcrowded shelters across “Israel” see rising violence as fear of Iranian retaliation grows.

A week of escalating fear over Iranian missile attacks has sparked a series of violent incidents in public shelters across the Israeli-occupied territories, reflecting growing social tensions among settlers under duress.

Amid the mounting panic, the Israeli regime’s Ministry of Social Affairs announced the launch of an Emergency Community Mediation Service to defuse escalating disputes inside overcrowded shelters and manage immediate interpersonal conflicts.

Several violent incidents

In one of the most alarming incidents, an Israeli teenager discharged pepper spray inside a packed shelter in the Shapira neighborhood of Tel Aviv, injuring several individuals and prompting the arrest of three people.

Another confrontation occurred in the northern parts of the occupied city when a group of young men began smoking inside a shelter shared with elderly residents and individuals with health conditions. The situation escalated into a physical altercation after a woman attempting to intervene was assaulted.

Meanwhile, a settler in Bat Yam told Israeli media she was punched in the face after entering a shelter with her dog.

The Ministry of Social Affairs described the incidents as symptomatic of a broader social breakdown, stating in a press release, “The high-stress environment inside the shelters creates fertile ground for conflict and violence.” (Full article.)

The Times of Israel published a video today about “Living from siren to siren under Tel Aviv“.

As you watch, note that these are wealthier Israelis who have private bomb shelters below the apartment or condominium complexes where they are living. Still, it is an obvious intrusion into their lifestyles and jobs.

Now compare that video to the one I published yesterday, about how the less affluent people throughout Israel have to seek out and find shelters, where there is widespread chaos.

Oh yes, it is very obvious that Israel cannot continue this much longer.

In Iran, in the meantime, people are demonstrating in the streets, and many started dancing and singing today when Iran bombed the largest U.S. military base in the Middle East in Qatar.

Iran bombed the largest U.S. base in the Middle East today, the Al Udeid base in Qatar.

Unlike Trump who has continually lied to the Iranians about negotiating for a peace deal while working with Israel to start a bombing campaign against Iran, or even last week when he said he would respond in “2 weeks” to whether or not the U.S. would join the bombing but then did it right away, Iran gave Qatar warning before launching their bombs, so that no civilians would be hurt.

They claimed that they launched the same amount of missiles on the military base as the U.S. launched yesterday on Iran’s nuclear sites.

The U.S. Zionist media is portraying this as a desperate attempt by a weakened Tehran.

Here is Tehran’s coverage:

Op. Tidings of Victory: Iran pounds US military base in Qatar in retaliatory operation

Excerpts:

Iranian armed forces have launched a missile barrage at American military bases in Qatar in a retaliatory operation a day after Iranian nuclear sites were targeted by US bombers.

In a statement following the successful retaliatory operation codenamed ‘Tidings of Victory’, Iranian armed forces said it came in response to the “blatant military aggression by the criminal regime of the United States” against the nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic.

The statement described the US aggression as “a clear violation of international law” and added that under the directive of the Supreme National Security Council and the command of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters (PBUH), the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), using the sacred code “Ya Aba Abdillah al-Hussain (AS),” launched a powerful and devastating missile strike on the Al Udeid base in Qatar.

This base serves as the headquarters of the US Air Force Command and represents the most strategic asset of the American military in West Asia.

“The message of this decisive action by the sons of the nation in the armed forces to the White House and its allies is clear and direct,” the statement noted, adding that the Islamic Republic of Iran will “never leave any violation of its territorial integrity, sovereignty, or national security unanswered.”

It further said that the American enemy’s aggression has “exposed to all that Zionist malice is simply a continuation of US strategy” while reminding all that in this national defense, American military bases and assets in the region “are not points of strength but critical vulnerabilities — the Achilles’ heel of this warmongering regime.” (Full article.)

 

Here are a few more headlines from our Telegram Channel today.

Iran to Suspend Cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)

Reports are saying that they have already kicked all the inspectors out of the country.

This effectively means that Iran does not even need to build nuclear bombs. They can just purchase them from their friends (Pakistan, Russia, China, etc.), which is much quicker.

From Tasnim:

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The speaker of the Iranian Parliament said the legislature is considering a bill to suspend Tehran’s cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency in response to the UN nuclear agency’s unprofessional conduct.
Addressing a Monday session of the Parliament, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf reiterated the peaceful nature of Iran’s nuclear program.

Highlighting a religious decree issued by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution on the prohibition of nuclear weapons, the Parliament speaker said, “Iran has no plans for non-peaceful activities, but the world witnessed clearly that the IAEA has not honored any of its commitments and has turned into a political instrument.”

The Iranian Parliament is considering to pass a bill on the suspension of Iran’s cooperation with the IAEA as long as Tehran is not given tangible guarantees of the UN nuclear agency’s professional conduct, Qalibaf stated.

Denouncing the US’ military strikes on Iran’s nuclear sites as a declaration of direct American engagement in a war on Iran following the Israeli regime’s failure, the Parliament speaker said, “While we consider this (American) attack as a result of the Israeli regime’s strategic failure to achieve its objectives, we won’t tolerate it. We will definitely give a response that would make gambler Trump regret taking the act of aggression against our dear country.”

UPDATE 2

Trump’s truce claim ‘fabricated’, designed to deflect attention from US humiliation: Report

From PressTV in Iran:

The so-called “ceasefire proposal” put forward by US President Donald Trump on social media is “fabricated” and designed to deflect attention from Washington’s recent humiliation, according to a report.

Quoting a well-informed source, Fars News Agency said the Islamic Republic has not received any formal or informal proposal for a ceasefire, neither directly nor through intermediaries. (Full article.)
