Israel Report - Friday 27 June 2025
And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be made low: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
And the idols he shall utterly abolish.
And they shall go into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
To go into the clefts of the rocks, and into the tops of the ragged rocks, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth. [Isaiah 2; vv 17-21]
Was Iran's Nuclear Program Completely Obliterated?
IDSF - Israel's Defence and Security Forum
In today’s briefing, IDSF researcher and war analyst Atar Porat reviews the data available on the extent to which Israel and the USA destroyed Iran's nuclear program.
There are two different views on the success of the military campaign, particularly the massive operation with the B2 bombers, and Atar reviews the relevant details of the event.
HERE is the recording of the briefing from today.
Our next briefing will be Tuesday 01 July 2025.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Claims Victory Over U.S.-Israel…..
The supreme leader of Iran has declared victory over the U.S. and Israel in a series of X posts Thursday — his first public statement since American forces bombarded several nuclear facilities with bunker-busting bombs.
“I offer my congratulations on the victory over the fallacious Zionist regime,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei posted to X Thursday.
“My congratulations on our dear Iran’s victory over the US regime, The US regime entered the war directly because it felt that if it didn’t, the Zionist regime would be completely destroyed. It entered the war in an effort to save that regime but achieved nothing.”
Two more X posts followed:
“The Islamic Republic delivered a heavy slap to the US’s face. It attacked and inflicted damage on the Al-Udeid Air Base, which is one of the key US bases in the region.

“The fact that the Islamic Republic has access to key US centers in the region and can take action whenever it deems necessary is a significant matter. Such an action can be repeated in the future too. Should any aggression occur, the enemy will definitely pay a heavy price.

Speaking from the NATO summit in the Netherlands Wednesday, Trump compared the attack to the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945.
What are Ayatollah Ali and the Don smoking?
Iran Intensifies Internal Security Crackdown…..

Iranians are experiencing internal turmoil as authorities intensify a domestic security crackdown following the 12-day war. There have been reports of mass arrests and executions in the country.
Authorities in Iran began the crackdown following Israel’s June 13 airstrikes. It started with widespread arrests and an intensified street presence, which cited activists and officials.
The harsh measures have dampened hopes—among some in Israel as well as Iranian dissidents—that the country could see an uprising and regime change. However, no significant demonstrations have taken place yet.
Largest Single-Event Launch of Patriot Interceptors in U.S. Military History. ……
As Iranian ballistic missiles were flying toward a nearly empty Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar on Monday, a small crew of air defenders stayed behind to protect the largest American military installation in the Middle East.
Thursday morning, Air Force General Dan Caine, [below] Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, offered new details about that effort, which he said resulted in the largest single-event launch of Patriot interceptors in U.S. military history.
Monday morning, three days after the Operation Midnight Hammer attack by U.S. Air Force B-2 Spirit stealth bombers dropping 14 30,000-pound GBU-57/B Massive Ordnance Penetrator (MOP) bunker buster bombs on Iran’s Fordow and Natanz nuclear facilities, “we began to receive indications and warnings that Iran intended to attack U.S. bases in the region that morning,” Caine told reporters.
As a result, in consultation with U.S. CENTCOM commander General Michael “Erik” Kurilla, [above] Trump ordered Al Udeid and other bases around the region to “assume a minimum force posture,” said Caine.
Satellite images showed that most aircraft had left Al Udeid days before, and Navy ships departed from their base in Bahrain in anticipation of an Iranian response to any U.S. actions.
The theatre to allow for some delusional Islamic face-saving had commenced.
“Most folks had moved off the base to extend the security perimeter out away from what we assessed might be a target zone,” Caine explained. “Except for a very few Army soldiers at Al Udeid.”
At that point, “only two Patriot batteries remained on base, roughly 44 American soldiers responsible for defending the entire base, to include CENTCOM forward headquarters in the Middle East…and all the U.S. forces there,” said Caine.
A great opportunity for a training exercise though? And for Khamanei to brag that he had destroyed the enormous US military base with one rocket that made its way to the perimeter fence.. Up is down, down is up.
Campaign to Expand Abraham Accords Sparks Backlash……..
A Campaign to expand the Abraham Accords sparks backlash after al-Sharaa appears with Netanyahu….
US hopes for a renewed Abraham Accords push, but a billboard showing Syria’s president alongside Trump and Netanyahu sparks Arab outrage over 'normalization with the enemy'.
After nearly 21 months of multi-front warfare, calls—primarily from the United States—to expand the Abraham Accords are reemerging. Trump has publicly urged Syria’s President Ahmad al-Sharaa to join, and U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said Wednesday that he expects “major announcements” soon.
But a new Israeli campaign promoting a “new regional order” has sparked backlash across the Arab world, particularly over al-Sharaa’s inclusion.
The “Coalition for Regional Security,” which includes more than 100 Israeli officials, recently launched a billboard campaign promoting the idea of leveraging Israel’s recent military success in Iran to create a new Middle East.
The billboards, featuring the slogan “It's time for a new Middle East,” show Arab leaders including the kings of Bahrain and Morocco, the sultan of Oman, the leaders of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas—and, prominently, Syria’s Ahmad al-Sharaa.
At the centre of the image are Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The inclusion of al-Sharaa—whose country's ties with Israel remain deeply fraught—also drew sharp reactions in the region.
The only reliable and truthful billboard for the Accords and a “New Middle East” would be the prophetic scriptures in the 14th chapter of the prophet Zechariah and elsewhere - now that would cause a regional reaction worth watching?
Ben-Gvir orders singing to be allowed on Temple Mount……..
For the first time in years, Jewish visitors to the Temple Mount were allowed to sing and dance freely throughout the holy site, in accordance with a new policy set by Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir. [above]
This marks a dramatic shift from past enforcement. For years, Jews who were seen whispering prayers on the Temple Mount were often detained, questioned, and in many cases banned from the site for extended periods.
Under Ben Gvir's direction, however, the Israel Police have been instructed to allow Jewish prayer and singing throughout the compound. Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai [below left] has reportedly passed these instructions to the police force.
Three weeks ago, Minister Ben Gvir met in his office with leaders of organizations that advocate for Jewish access to the Temple Mount. During the meeting, several proposals were raised to further improve conditions for Jewish visitors.
At the time, one attendee told Ben Gvir: “You’ve worked magic since you got here.” Another called the change “an historic shift we never thought we’d see.”
A key issue raised during the meeting was the desire to allow vocal singing not just in isolated spots, but throughout the entire Mount. Ben Gvir responded affirmatively, saying: “My policy is that it should be permitted to sing across the entire Temple Mount”—a policy that was visibly implemented during this morning’s visits.
Yair Lap[id calls for the End of Gaza War…
Opposition leader Yair Lapid is calling for an end to the war in Gaza, writing that it no longer serves Israel.
In a Facebook post, he wrote, among other things:
- We need to make a deal, bring the hostages home, end the war. Bring in Egypt to manage the Gaza Strip.
- Hamas will be eliminated, but only after we reorganize. The IDF should sit on the perimeter, separating Gaza from the Israeli border communities. Enter Gaza when needed to thwart terror, choke them economically, prevent smuggling.
- It is not right to have IDF soldiers sitting inside Gaza, becoming targets for more and more attacks.
- I supported this war. But it no longer serves us. It’s time for brave decisions”.
It was only a matter of time;
No sooner had the B2 bombers engines cooled down after their long flight home from Iran last weekend than the push is on again for the absurdity of a 2 State Solution to the Israel -Arab Palestinian debacle.
Back on the table and being pushed by a triumphant Trump is the final solution for a problem which is a complete fabrication - there never was an Arab Palestinian State which was overthrown by the restoration of the Jewish nation in 1948.
It is a fable dreamed up by arch terrorist and pedophile Arab Yasser Arafat in the 1960’s. We have covered all this for years now. It just won’t disappear it seems.
Anyway, here we go again;
Trump is reportedly pushing Benjamin Netanyahu to conclude the 20-month-old war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip following the success of the 12-day war against Iran, several Hebrew media outlets reported Thursday, amid calls in Israel for the same.
Meanwhile, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported that as part of the American president’s plan to end the war, new countries would join the Abraham Accords, and Israel would be required to commit to supporting a future Palestinian state.
Citing an unnamed source familiar with the conversation, the newspaper reported that during a phone call, the two leaders agreed to wrap up the war in Gaza within two weeks, requiring Israel to halt its military offensive and Hamas to release the remaining 50 hostages.
The Arab Palestinian terror group’s leadership would then be exiled, and four Arab states, including the UAE and Egypt, would be tasked with jointly governing the war-torn enclave in its place, the report said.
It did not identify the other two Arab states that would supposedly govern the territory.
