“Israel Iran Conflict Live Updates: Missiles continue to rule the skies in Israel and Iran as the two sides escalated the ongoing conflict to the seventh day. Israel asked its citizens in two cities to leave and take shelter due to imminent Iranian strikes. A hospital suffered severe damage in Israel after a missile 'directly hit' it.
The attacks are increasing with each passing hour. Israel has struck an area near the heavy-water research reactor in Khondab, part of Iran’s nuclear programme, aiming to destroy Tehran's nuclear programme.
Officials announced the facility was evacuated prior to the attack and there is no radiation risk, reports added.”

So, the story that Iran is done has been greatly exaggerated.
They can still make a mess of things. But their ability to do so repeatedly has been degraded. Plus, once they launch Israel can then pinpoint the launchers and counterattack, further degrading their resources. Israel will suffer. But Iran will suffer more.

looks like they are trying to draw us in with this barrage.
Take out the power grid in Iran. Make Tehran dark.
Those Iranian hypersonic missiles are incredible. There’s hardly no way to intercept them looking at that video. Looks like Israel’s Iron Dome is starting to suffer from Iron Deficiency as one commenter put it.
The hypersonic missiles are useless without launchers, and as pointed out above, with air superiority, and a rapidly declining number of launchers left, it gets easier and easier for Israel to to tag a launcher that is used.
Not the Iranian attacks. They are way down in numbers of missiles being fired at Israel. Iran is losing both command and control, and, launchers.
Obviously Iran can still do SOME damage, as the hit on the hospital shows. :-(
I suspect they are gonna regret that one.
Not quite. They don’t seem to be able to get off the same enormous mass launches they did to start - this latest was a 20 missile salvo, of which only 4-5 leaked through the defenses.
If they *had* the ability to launch more in a salvo at this point, they would. Compared to what they were talking up as their strike for tonight, this is pretty pathetic.
That was apparently a straight up ballistic missile, and yes, there are ways to intercept them.
Also, as was pointed out earlier, Iron Dome is intended to defend against the short range stuff from Gaza and Lebanon, the Iranian stuff is being taken out by indigenous Arrow 2/3 and now apparently 4 missiles and US sourced THAAD systems. Those two systems are consistently stopping 75% or higher of missiles that enter their engagement envelope - this is a *spectactular* percentage
You should perhaps be a bit more skeptical about people decrying Israeli defenses, do some of your own research - a lot of the same people pooh-poohing Israeli defenses were the ones that cancelled or supported cancelling *our* missile defenses, saying it was impossible to hit a bullet with a bullet.
Thank you.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (1:12 AM, Jun 19, 2025):
This morning, Iran’s terrorist tyrants launched missiles at Soroka Hospital in Beersheba and at a civilian population in central Israel.
We will exact the full price from the tyrants in Tehran.
IRAN Mullah LIE!
Iran claims (1:13 AM, Jun 19, 2025): “We targeted a target in the Gav-Yam Technology Park in Beersheba, near Soroka, where intelligence and cyber headquarters are located.”
It is likely that Israel will take out Khamenei.
Khamenei’s Iran is finished. Period.
You need to find another news source.
That is all BS.
Khamenei is finished.
Michael Yon talks about this in this extended interview (which starts 7 minutes in):

Iran, China and Russia are all members in SCO, which is their equivalent of NATO. That is why, for example, China was seen flying planes to Iran last night.
Pure Propaganda.
