Iran announced the first-ever launch of its multi-warhead Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile during the twentieth wave of Operation True Promise III in the early hours of Sunday.
In a statement, the public relations department of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said that this phase of the retaliatory operation marked the debut of the third-generation Kheibar Shekan ballistic missile, successfully striking its intended targets.
The twentieth wave came just hours after the United States claimed to have struck three Iranian nuclear facilities in Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan.
According to the IRGC, a total of 40 solid- and liquid-fueled missiles were launched at strategic targets across the occupied Palestinian territories on Sunday.
“In this operation, for the first time, the IRGC Aerospace Force deployed the third-generation Kheibar Shekan multi-warhead ballistic missile, employing new and surprising tactics to achieve greater precision, destructive power, and effectiveness,” the statement said.
Main targets included Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, the regime’s biological research center, and alternative command-and-control sites.
The missiles employed maneuverable warheads capable of adjusting their trajectory during descent, maintaining guidance until impact, and delivering multiple high-explosive, highly destructive payloads.
Sirens reportedly went off only after the missiles scored direct hits, plunging the occupied territories into chaos, as witnessed in several previous waves of Operation True Promise III.
“We declare that the core capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have yet to be activated in this sacred defense,” the IRGC statement concluded.
Iranian armed forces have carried out 20 phases of True Promise III so far, targeting strategic and sensitive military and intelligence sites in the occupied territories.
These operations are in response to the continued Israeli aggression that has claimed the lives of more than 400 Iranians since June 13, including military commanders, scientists, university professors, athletes, school students etc.

Bill Clinton endorses Andrew Cuomo for NYC mayor
“He knows how to get things done,” Clinton told voters in a recorded robocall.
Former President Bill Clinton has endorsed former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in the race for New York City mayor. The endorsement comes on the final day of early voting, with the Democratic primary set for Tuesday.
According to a report by The New York Times, Clinton voiced his support in a recorded robocall, citing Cuomo’s experience as a former member of his administration. “He knows how to get things done,” Clinton told voters in the recording, referencing Cuomo’s work as Secretary of Housing and Urban Development.
“He’s a fighter who knows how to make government work, and at a time when our basic rights are under assault, I know he’ll stand up and protect the people of this city,” Clinton added.
The endorsement marks a notable departure from Clinton’s typical political activity, as he rarely weighs in on New York City primary contests. A resident of Westchester County, located north of New York, Clinton’s backing of Cuomo is seen as a clear sign of establishment support in the increasingly competitive race. Cuomo’s largest challenger remains Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist currently polling in second place.
Cuomo responded to the endorsement in a statement, saying he is “honored to have the support of President Bill Clinton, a personal mentor, friend and hero.”
“His administration was one of the most accomplished in modern political history — and that’s what government is supposed to be all about,” Cuomo said. He went on to cite how the two worked together and “built housing, battled homelessness and fought for justice for communities too often left out and left behind.”
Cuomo has consistently led in polls throughout the campaign, but the race has tightened in the final days. Mamdani has steadily gained ground and is seen as Cuomo’s only rival in the primary. Still, the latest Marist Poll shows Cuomo maintaining a double-digit lead.

Medvedev Reacts: 'Number Of Countries' Now Ready To Supply Iran With 'Their Own Nuclear Warheads'
On Sunday morning Russia's former president and current deputy chairman of the country's Security Council Dmitry Medvedev issued his reaction to the major US overnight strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, giving what's essentially the view of where things stand from the Kremlin.
Medvedev in a ten-point list of reactions characterized the attacks as ultimately ineffective, and that it will blow back on America and Israel in a way opposite than intended, especially as Tehran will now only push harder for a nuke, and allied countries might now simply be willing to supply them to the Iranians, he described.
-
Critical infrastructure of the nuclear fuel cycle appears to have been unaffected or sustained only minor damage.
-
The enrichment of nuclear material — and, now we can say it outright, the future production of nuclear weapons — will continue.
-
A number of countries are ready to directly supply Iran with their own nuclear warheads.
-
Israel is under attack, explosions are rocking the country, and people are panicking.
-
The US is now entangled in a new conflict, with prospects of a ground operation looming on the horizon.
-
Iran’s political regime has survived — and in all likelihood, has come out even stronger.
-
The people are rallying around the country’s spiritual leadership, including those who were previously indifferent or opposed to it.
-
Donald Trump, once hailed as ‘president of peace,’ has now pushed the US into another war.
-
The vast majority of countries around the world oppose the actions of Israel and the United States.
-
At this rate, Trump can forget about the Nobel Peace Prize — not even with how rigged it has become.

The EU’s favorite war: the one Israel starts
Brussels has rallied behind Israel, asking Iran to please stop bleeding on the carpet
Israel flew over to Iran with fighter jets and has since gone totally ballistic — literally and figuratively. So what does the European Union’s insane clown posse have to say about it? Get yourself some popcorn. The Eurojokers are doing their best stand-up comedy again without even realizing it.
First up: French President Emmanuel Macron, who took to social media to declare that “peace and security for all in the region must remain our guiding principle.” Aww, how sweet. Calling for peace while holding your buddy’s coat as he storms into the bar to punch someone on the face. So after Israel unilaterally launched its hundred-target missile tantrum across Tehran – complete with residential hits and assassinations – maybe some strong words against that kind of thing are in order?
“France has repeatedly condemned Iran’s ongoing nuclear program and has taken all appropriate diplomatic measures in response. In this context, France reaffirms Israel’s right to defend itself and ensure its security,” Macron posted as the conflict kicked off.
Classic French parenting: ignore the kid setting the house on fire and scold the one who looked at him funny.
Next up, Germany. Surely the new chancellor, Friedrich Merz, can inject some sober logic into the conversation about who just broke the fragile regional peace everyone’s pretending to care about.
“Iran has subsequently threatened to accelerate uranium enrichment again. This nuclear programme violates the provisions of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and poses a serious threat to the entire region, especially to the State of Israel. We reaffirm that Israel has the right to defend its existence and the security of its citizens. We call on both sides to refrain from steps that could lead to further escalation and destabilise the entire region,” wrote Merz.
Oh, so now that Israel has attacked Iran, it’s time for restraint? Not before. Not during. After. Like a guy who throws the first punch in a bar fight and then shouts, “Hey! Let’s all calm down!”
Both Macron and Merz say that Iran brought this on itself by enriching uranium. That’s like this: you’ve got a neighbor who lifts weights in his home gym. You see him through the window with a squat rack, bench press, treadmill – getting jacked. And you’re like, “Wow, he’s getting so ripped I’m afraid he might beat me up someday. So I better go over there now and beat him up while I still can.”
That’s basically what Israel did with its “preemptive” strike. And Macron and Merz are cheering it on like, “Totally! That guy was getting too buff. Definitely deserved a missile to the face.”
Then Merz added from the G7 summit in Canada: “This is the dirty work that Israel is doing for all of us. We are also victims of this regime.”
Oh, sorry – didn’t realize the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) had hired Israel as a global bouncer. And remind us, Friedrich: where exactly did Iran touch Germany on the map? Because Europe is far more likely to be “victimized” by waves of immigration facilitated by its own lax policies, and sparked by its own support for regime change wars – like this one is shaping up to be – than by any distant centrifuge.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, the EU’s de facto queen, is now cosplaying as global playground monitor, sending all the boys to their corners.
“Europe urges all parties to exercise maximum restraint, de-escalate immediately and refrain from retaliation. A diplomatic resolution is now more urgent than ever, for the sake of the region’s stability and global security,” she wrote.
Maximum restraint? That’s rich – especially coming from someone who’s usually all about blowing €800 billion on weapons in bulk like a redneck doomsday cult stocking up for when Russian tanks finally roll up to the McDonald’s drive thru in Warsaw – five years from now, around 2030, she and the rest of the Eurojokers keep saying.

Netanyahu: Iran war will end only when Israel achieves its goals
PM rules out premature ceasefire, vows to continue military campaign until nuclear and missile threats are neutralized, Hamas is defeated and all hostages are returned; 'We are very close to completing our objectives,' he says
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel will not end its military campaign against Iran and Hamas until all of its strategic objectives are fully achieved, rejecting the notion of a premature ceasefire.
“We will not be dragged into a war of attrition — but we also will not end this historic operation until we have met all our goals,” Netanyahu said at a televised press conference in Jerusalem.
His remarks came hours after releasing two pre-recorded statements in Hebrew and English responding to a U.S. strike on three Iranian nuclear sites — Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. Netanyahu thanked President Donald Trump and hailed the strike as a “historic” shift. “Your bold decision to target Iran’s nuclear facilities with the awesome and righteous might of the United States will change history,” he said.
Opening the press conference, Netanyahu expressed condolences to those killed and wounded in Iranian missile attacks on Israeli cities. “Our hearts are with the victims of Iran’s heinous assault,” he said, referencing the heavy toll paid in Operation Rising Lion, the name for Israel’s military response. “We embrace the families of the fallen and pray for the full recovery of the wounded.”
Netanyahu reaffirmed his government’s commitment to neutralizing Iran’s nuclear and missile capabilities, defeating Hamas and returning Israeli hostages. “This regime seeks our destruction. That is why we launched this operation — to remove the two concrete threats to our existence,” he said. “We are advancing step by step toward achieving our objectives, and we are very close to completing them.”
Asked whether the operation included plans to target Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, Netanyahu declined to elaborate. “This is not the forum to detail our goals. I believe in fewer words and more action,” he said.
In his Hebrew statement earlier in the day, Netanyahu emphasized that Israel had fulfilled its early pledge to destroy Iran’s nuclear infrastructure. “From the beginning of this operation, I promised that Iran’s nuclear sites would be destroyed, one way or another. That promise has been kept,” he said.
