CNN · Israel and Iran trade strikes on fifth day of conflictBy Jessie Yeung
Continued thread

#Israel has been channelling much of the #aid it is now allowing into #Gaza through a new #US & Israeli-backed group, the #GazaHumanitarianFoundation [run by #Trump #evangelical #Zionist] , which operates a handful of distribution sites in areas guarded by #IDF forces.

The #UN rejects the system as inadequate, dangerous & a violation of #humanitarian impartiality rules. Israel says it’s needed to prevent #Hamas fighters from diverting aid, which Hamas denies.

(3/3)

seem to have either.

👉IMO, after "both sides have had decades to plan this war," how on earth is it possible that this singular decisive capability has been overlooked?!? 👈

For #ShashankJoshi, the think to look is if the #IDF is capable of destroying much of #Irans remaining nuclear capabilities.

Otherwise, the remaining leadership might opt to speed up the enrichment process.

I think Israel overplayed its hand and underestimated the dragon it has woken. Iran may be taking some heavy hits, but they are getting some solid missile strikes on Israel. And Israel telling people in Tehran just gave Iran a heads-up on its next move. I’d bet anything Iran can deliver a biological or dirty bomb to Tel Aviv if Israel continues to escalate the unprovoked war it started. This hurts Muslims, Christians and Jews and was an unnecessary escalation by Israel. npr.org/2025/06/16/nx-s1-54352 #uspol #israel #iran #tehran #telaviv #idf #pakistan

Israel is currently committing war crimes in four countries: Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and Syria. It’s time for them to stop bombing civilians and creating war. Their actions are also causing instability in the region and likely leading to future generations of terrorist attacks against the United States. This is because Iran considers the U.S. complicit in arming Israel with the bombs it uses to target civilian populations. The United States should not continue to use taxpayer dollars to prop up the oppressive Zionist regime. reuters.com/world/americas/isr #israel #uspol #idf #iran #telaviv #tehran #petahtikva

#IDF spokesman, Effie Defrin: "Unlike us, who only target military targets, it is the nature of the Iranian terrorist regime to target civilian targets."

Iran’s government: 45 women and children were killed, with 75 injured in an attack by Israel.

Gaza health ministry: 68 people were killed by Israeli fire, 38 of which near aid centers.

@andreas_heitmann @tagesschau @PudelBlitz Ich kann mit dem Konzept „#Schurkenstaat“ nichts anfangen, aber wenn wir von Rechtsbruch, Massaker und Bedrohungen durch Staaten sprechen verweise ich hierauf:

”I don't have the capacity and authority to assess whether the #IDF is one of the most moral armies in the world as Israel's president #Netanyahu claims, but what I can rightfully report so far is, that the IDF is one of the most criminal armies in the world.” Chris Sidoti, member of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and Israel, UN. youtube.com/watch?v=BHk916NRbM

Insofern ist auf Israels Aussagen für mich kein Verlass, eher im Gegenteil, und alle anderen Quellen widersprechen Dir leider, auch bezüglich der Motivation für Israels aktuelle Aggression: theguardian.com/world/2025/jun
