On June 26, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei addressed the nation: “I offer my congratulations to the great nation of Iran; first, congratulations on the victory over the false Zionist regime, and secondly, on the victory over the American regime. The Americans entered the war directly because otherwise Israel would have lost completely and would be left without hope.”
Iran has asked Azerbaijan to investigate whether Israeli planes are using Azerbaijani airspace. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi: “We did not ask for a ceasefire, Israel did. America has betrayed diplomacy and our experience will influence the negotiations. I told European foreign ministers that activating the “snapback” sanctions mechanism would be their biggest “historic mistake.” He also said: “Iran has not closed the door to cooperation with the IAEA by adopting a law on suspending interactions with it, but cooperation will take a different form.”
According to the Fars News Agency, citing Iranian sources: “There is no truth to the allegations that Mossad agents entered the Fordow nuclear site after the attack. The allegations that Mossad entered Fordow are a lie about security, given the high level of security at the facility. The accusations that the Mossad entered Fordow are an attempt to exaggerate the power of the enemy and continue its media war.”
Iranian authorities have begun detaining rabbis and leaders of the Jewish community in Iran – in Tehran and Shiraz – on charges of “ties to Israel.”
The President of the European Commission has returned to the issue of Gaza: “Humanitarian aid must reach the Gaza Strip immediately and without obstacles. We reiterate our call for a permanent ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza.”
Meanwhile, comments are starting to spread on social media about Trump’s new offer to Iran, which according to CNN includes: “$30 billion in aid for the civil nuclear program, uranium enrichment will not be allowed. Gulf allies will cover all costs. The $6 billion frozen by Iran will be unblocked. A new nuclear facility to replace the bombed Fordow, but without enrichment capabilities.”
A lengthy Pentagon briefing states that the attack on Fordow has been planned for 15 years and that they designed many of their tools specifically for this attack. They added that they attacked the complex’s weak points, ventilation. They also confirm that they successfully damaged what they intended to do, etc. Israel has claimed to have killed 11 Iranian nuclear scientists. Israel’s Attorney General’s office opposes Netanyahu’s request to cancel his trial in the next two weeks.
And now a look at the various scenarios updated at 16:00 on June 27. On June 26 around midnight there are reports of a possible drone attack on an apartment in a high-rise building in the Farmaniyeh neighborhood of the Iranian capital Tehran. According to some reports, several senior officials of the The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and/or nuclear scientists have been targeted. No one has claimed responsibility so far, although panic is already spreading through Iranian Telegram channels about the presence of the Mossad and Israeli special forces on Iranian soil.
