Translated from Hebrew

My brothers and sisters, citizens of Israel, just an hour ago, Israel and the United States embarked on an operation to remove the existential threat posed by the terrorist regime in Iran.

I thank our great friend, President Donald Trump, for his historic leadership.

For 47 years, the Ayatollahs' regime has chanted "Death to Israel," "Death to America." It has spilled our blood, murdered many Americans, and massacred its own people.

This murderous terrorist regime must not be allowed to arm itself with nuclear weapons that would enable it to threaten all of humanity.

Our joint operation will create the conditions for the brave Iranian people to take their fate into their own hands.

The time has come for all parts of the Iranian people—the Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Baloch, and Ahwazis—to cast off the yoke of tyranny and bring freedom and peace-loving values to Iran.

I call on you, citizens of Israel, to heed the instructions of the Home Front Command. In the coming days, during Operation "Lion's Roar," we will all be called upon to show patience and strength of spirit.

Together we will stand, together we will fight, and together we will ensure the eternity of Israel.

Translated from Persian

My dear compatriots,

Moments of destiny lie ahead of us.

The aid that the President of the United States promised to the brave people of Iran has now arrived. This is a humanitarian intervention; and its target is the Islamic Republic, its repressive apparatus, and its machinery of slaughter—not the country and great nation of Iran.

But, even with the arrival of this aid, the final victory will still be forged by our hands. It is we, the people of Iran, who will finish the job in this final battle. The time to return to the streets is near.

Now that the Islamic Republic is collapsing, my message to the country's military, police, and security forces is clear:

You have sworn an oath to protect Iran and the Iranian people—not the Islamic Republic and its leaders. Your duty is to defend the people, not a regime that has taken our homeland hostage through repression and crime. Join the people and help bring about a stable and secure transition. Otherwise, you will go down with Khamenei's sinking ship and his regime.

And my message to the President of the United States, President Trump, is this:

The noble people of Iran, despite the savage repression and massacres of this regime, stood firm with courage for nearly two months. I now ask you to exercise the utmost caution to preserve the lives of civilians and my compatriots. The people of Iran are your natural allies and those of the free world, and they will never forget your support in the most difficult period in contemporary Iranian history.

And to you, my dear compatriots in Iran:

In these sensitive hours and days, more than ever, we must stay focused on our ultimate goal: reclaiming Iran.

I ask you to remain in your homes for now and preserve your safety and security. Stay vigilant and ready so that, at the appropriate time—which I will announce to you precisely—you can return to the streets for the final action.

Follow my messages through social media and satellite media. If there are disruptions to the internet and satellite, I will stay in touch with you via radio waves.

We are very close to final victory. I want to be by your side as soon as possible so that together we can take back and rebuild Iran.

Long live Iran,

Reza Pahlavi

@IAFsite

Translated from Hebrew

The IDF spokesperson announces that the IDF and the US Army have launched a joint, extensive, and powerful operation to comprehensively strike the Iranian terror regime and remove existential threats to the State of Israel over the long term. The blow included the targeting of dozens of military sites and was carried out as part of a broad, coordinated, and joint offensive against the regime.

The Iranian regime has not abandoned its plan to destroy Israel. In recent months, and despite the severe blow it suffered in Operation "With a Lion," the IDF identified that the regime continued its attempts to fortify, protect, and conceal its nuclear programs, alongside the restoration of its missile production process. In addition, the regime continued to fund, train, and arm its proxies based along the borders of the State of Israel. These actions constitute an existential threat to the State of Israel, and threaten the Middle East and the entire world.

In the months preceding the offensive, joint and meticulous planning was carried out between the IDF and the US Army, which enabled the execution of the broad offensive in synchronization and maximum coordination between the armies. The IDF, across all its arrays, conducted a rigorous and long-term preparation process for the operation, both in defensive arrays and in various offensive plans.

The Chief of the General Staff, Lieutenant General Eyal Zamir, and IDF commanders are currently conducting a situation assessment. Many IDF forces are prepared and deployed in forward defense and readiness for attack across all sectors and against any enemy.

The public must heed the Home Front Command's guidelines, which are updated from time to time - civilian resilience and adherence to the guidelines save lives and constitute a critical component in the success of the campaign.

The IDF will continue to act to thwart any threat forming against the citizens of the State of Israel anywhere and at any time. Even at this moment, the Air Force continues to strike across Iran based on precise intelligence. The operation will continue as long as required.

The war has begun. While the U.S. continues its strikes and the world braces for an Iranian response, most eyes are fixed on the skies, watching for drones and missiles. Yet, the most significant threat may emerge from a silent, unannounced direction. ​It lies in the Strait of Hormuz. This narrow waterway is the lifeblood of global energy, with nearly 20% of global oil and 35% of LNG exports passing through it every day. At its tightest point, the shipping lanes are barely three kilometers wide! Tehran understands the stakes; it knows it cannot win a direct confrontation with the U.S. military. But maybe it doesn't have to. To cripple the global economy and gain decisive leverage, Iran only needs to make the Strait impassable. This is where the silent threat of sea mines comes in. 1/6

The moon will TURN RED for 58 minutes on Monday night/Tuesday morning. And for the East Coast, this is a RARE SELENELION! Truly magical.

For everyone in the United States, expect to see the moon transform into a brownish-red rust as it slips into the Earth's shadow. Totality lasts 58 minutes.

For the East Coast, that will coincide with sunrise AND moonset! If you're in the dark red, you'll have the rising sun in the east AND the eclipsed moon setting in the rest for a few moments at the time of local sunrise. This view will last a couple minutes – you'll be in a magical, perfect planetary alignment. (Having a clear view of both horizons will be ideal, as is being high up.)

Where temperature profiles cooperate, you might get this rare, ephemeral "impossible" view for a little longer. Why? Earth's atmosphere can refract, or bend light, allowing the moon to be visible for a few extra moments even if it's technically below the horizon.

Share this with your friends and ENJOY! Share your photos too!

God bless @POTUS for planning and now executing Operation Epic Fury, making America more safe and eventually more prosperous. I seek God’s protection for all under President Trump’s command, as well as our allies in Israel.

My mind is racing with the thought that the murderous ayatollah’s regime in Iran will soon be no more. The biggest change in the Middle East in a thousand years is upon us. The likelihood of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel getting back on track is exceedingly high – a subject I brought up last week to the key players in the region who concurred if the ayatollah goes down, historic peace advances.

As to the men and women participating in this operation for our country and Israel, may God bless you and keep you safe. If you are injured or fall, I believe with all my heart that your sacrifice makes your country and the world a better and safer place. This moment is why you chose to serve.

This operation has been well-planned. It will be violent, extensive and I believe, at the end of the day, successful. Again the demise of the ayatollah’s regime with American blood on its hands is necessary and more than justified.

Today, Israel announced that it has "carried out a preemptive strike against Iran." Subsequently, the participation of the United States was also announced.

Due to such concerns, we have been taking precautionary measures in advance, including the early evacuation of Japanese nationals and other preparations for any contingency. Upon receiving this report, I immediately instructed relevant ministries and agencies to thoroughly gather information and to take all necessary measures to ensure the safety of Japanese nationals remaining there.

Additionally, at 4 p.m. today, an "Information Liaison Office on the Iranian Situation" was established at the Prime Minister's Office to handle information gathering.

Today, I am in Kanazawa on a party-related business trip, but I am receiving successive reports and issuing necessary instructions. Upon returning to Tokyo afterward, I will receive reports from relevant cabinet ministers.

As the Japanese government, we will take every possible measure to prepare for all risks and respond comprehensively.

@houmanhemmati

47 years ago, I stood at a window in Tehran as a 3-year-old boy, smelling burning tires and hearing the chants that would steal my country. I didn’t have words for what was happening. Today, I am watching smoke rise over the same city — but this time the smoke is not the end of Iran. It is, God willing, the beginning of her resurrection.

Several weeks ago I wrote in that the fever of 1979 was finally breaking. I never imagined I would wake up to see that fever confronted so directly. Israel — with the clear support of the United States — has launched a preemptive strike deep into Tehran and against the regime’s military machinery. Explosions in the capital. Military targets hit. The IRGC’s aura of invincibility, already cracked, is shattering in real time.

I do not celebrate war. No decent person does. What I celebrate — what millions of Iranians inside the country and in the diaspora have prayed for in secret for decades — is the possibility that a regime which has no right to exist may finally be forced to go.

This is the same regime that:

• Armed and cheered the October 7 massacre against Israel for no reason other than pure genocidal hatred.

• Murdered tens of thousands of its own sons and daughters who dared to walk peacefully in the streets demanding the most basic freedoms.

• Gouges out the eyes of young women for the “crime” of wearing makeup.

• Hangs teenagers from cranes for posting a tweet.

• Exports terror, poverty, and darkness to every corner it can reach including the U.S.

No nation, no people, should have to live under that. Not Israelis. Not Americans. Not Lebanese. Not Syrians. And certainly not Iranians.

I am a physician who has spent his life trying to heal bodies and a son of Iran who has spent his life mourning a stolen homeland. What we are witnessing is not aggression — it is surgery. Painful, necessary surgery to remove a tumor that has metastasized for 47 years. The tumor is the Islamic Republic that has hijacked Iran.

To the brave pilots and special operators of the Israeli Air Force and the men and women of the United States military now carrying out this mission: I pray for you with everything I have.

May God shield you from harm. May every missile find its target and every soldier return home safely to the families who love them. You are not invaders. You are the answer to the prayers of millions who have whispered “enough” in the dark since 1979. You are giving our friends the chance to breathe free air again. The entire region will owe you a peace we have not known in my lifetime.

To my fellow Iranians watching from inside the country right now, heart pounding, maybe hiding in basements or on rooftops: Hold on. The end is clearer than it has ever been. The regime’s fear is real. Their eyes — those same eyes that once stared down at us with absolute power — now show something they haven’t shown in decades: panic. The math has changed. The window of 1979 is finally closing.

To the little three-year-old boy I once was — and to every little boy and girl in Tehran, Isfahan, Shiraz, and Tabriz today who hears explosions instead of lullabies: This time the sounds are not the closing of a door. They are the opening of one.

The road ahead will not be easy. Transitions never are. But the direction is unmistakable. A secular, prosperous, free Iran is no longer a dream — it is becoming an inevitability.

I have lived the stolen life so that others might not have to. Today, for the first time in 47 years, I allow myself to believe that the stealing is almost over.

Thank you, Israel. Thank you, America. The Iranian people — the real Iran — will never forget.

The fever is breaking.

The dawn of 2026 is here.

And this time, the light wins.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) announced that the UAE today was subjected to a blatant attack involving Iranian ballistic missiles, noting that UAE air defence systems dealt with the missiles with high efficiency and successfully intercepted a number of missiles.

Authorities in the UAE also handled the fall of some missile debris in a residential area which resulted in some material damage.

The fallen debris also resulted in one civilian death of an asian nationality. The authorities confirmed that the security situation in the UAE remains stable and that all concerned entities are monitoring developments around the clock.

The Ministry strongly condemned the attack, affirming the UAE's categorical rejection of any targeting of civilian objects, facilities and national institutions. It stressed that such acts constitute a dangerous escalation and a cowardly act that threatens the safety of civilians and undermines stability.

The Ministry further stated that the targeting represents a blatant violation of national sovereignty and international law, affirming that the UAE reserves its full right to respond to this escalation and to take all necessary measures to protect its territory, citizens and residents, and to safeguard its sovereignty, security and stability.

The Ministry affirmed its full readiness and preparedness to deal with any threats, stressing that all necessary measures are being taken to firmly confront any attempts to undermine the country's security and stability. It added that the safety of citizens, residents and visitors remains a top priority that cannot be compromised.

The Ministry urged the public to rely on official sources for information and to avoid spreading rumors or unverified reports. The Ministry also urged the public to obtain information from official sources within the UAE and to avoid spreading rumors or unverified information.

Ha!! They hacked a prayer app, and every message starts with, "Help has arrived." 😎🔥

Here's the translations:

• Think of Judgment Day—you killed your own people for the regime. Reform your ways, stand with the nation, and you'll be forgiven.

• For freedom of Iranian brothers & sisters! To all regime enforcers: drop your weapons or join the liberators. Only then can you save yourselves. For a free Iran!

• Army people—people's army! Fear your Iranian brothers. Defend them and they will defend you.

• People show mercy to those who protect them. Regime forces who abandon weapons and surrender will receive national amnesty.

• Time of vengeance has come. Regime thugs will pay for their cruelty against innocent Iranians. Join to defend the nation and receive full pardon.

We obtained the first known satellite image of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's compound in Tehran. There are several destroyed buildings. While the current whereabouts of Iran's supreme leader are unknown, the compound is generally used as his official residence. 🛰️📸: @Airbus

Iran just fired missiles at five countries simultaneously. Here is what actually happened to each of them.

Bahrain. Confirmed hit on the US Navy Fifth Fleet headquarters. Bahrain’s own state news agency reported the strike. No casualty figures released yet. This is the command center for every American naval operation in the Persian Gulf. It was struck.

UAE. Multiple missiles intercepted by Emirati air defenses. One civilian killed in Abu Dhabi from falling debris. The UAE defense ministry confirmed the intercepts. The Emirates just absorbed an act of war on its sovereign territory from a country it shares a maritime border with.

Qatar. Missile intercepted. Zero damage. The Qatari Interior Ministry confirmed. The same country Iran just attacked is the country that hosted Al Udeid for twenty years as a gesture of regional balance. That balance ended this morning.

Kuwait. KUNA state news agency confirmed missiles were “dealt with” in Kuwaiti airspace. No reported damage. Kuwait, which stayed neutral through every Gulf crisis since 1991, just had Iranian ballistic missiles flying over its cities.

Jordan. Two Iranian ballistic missiles shot down by Jordanian military. Confirmed by the Jordanian armed forces directly. Jordan intercepted Iranian missiles in June 2025 as well. That was in defense of Israel. This time Iran targeted Jordan itself.

Saudi Arabia. Fars News claims strikes. No confirmation from any Saudi source. No Tier 1 or Tier 2 verification. Either it did not happen or Riyadh is not yet ready to say it did. Both possibilities carry enormous implications.

Now understand what Iran just accomplished strategically. In attempting to retaliate against Israel and America, the IRGC fired missiles at six sovereign nations in a single morning. Not one of those nations attacked Iran. Bahrain did not bomb Tehran. The UAE did not launch strikes on Isfahan. Qatar hosted diplomatic back channels. Kuwait maintained neutrality for three decades. Jordan was mediating.

Iran just converted every neutral and semi-neutral state in the Gulf into a potential co-belligerent. Every nation whose airspace was violated, whose civilians were killed, whose sovereignty was breached now has legal and political justification to join whatever coalition forms next.

And the damage tells the real story. One civilian dead from debris. Intercepts across four countries. No confirmed destruction of any US military asset. No reported American casualties among 40,000 troops in theater. Iran fired at the entire Gulf and the Gulf caught almost everything.

Compare this to what Israel did to Tehran this morning. Precision strikes on the IRGC Intelligence Directorate. Explosions near the Supreme Leader’s office. Three detonations in central Tehran confirmed by Iranian state media itself.

One side hit what it aimed at. The other side hit one civilian with debris.

This is the asymmetry that will define the next 72 hours. Iran demonstrated intent to strike everywhere and capability to hit almost nothing. The Gulf states demonstrated they can defend themselves. And now those states must decide whether the country that just fired ballistic missiles across their borders gets to do it again.

They will not let it happen again.

Watch for the joint statement. Watch for airspace coordination between Riyadh, Abu Dhabi, Manama, and Kuwait City. Watch for the coalition that Iran just built against itself with a single salvo.

Iran did not retaliate against Israel this morning. Iran gave every country in the Middle East a reason to retaliate against Iran.
