It is impossible to believe that Israel’s multi-domain abuse on Iran’s military, political, criminal, nuclear, and repressive system is only five weeks old because everything about Operation Rising Lion moves so quickly.

The Fordow Fuel Enrichment Plant ( FFEP ) is Iran’s most significant nuclear weapons asset, but it still exists. The super-modern ability, which was perhaps 200 feet underwater near the ancient town of Qom, is arguably Iran’s most difficult target. Israel lacks both the large aircraft and bunker-buster weapons needed to launch and kill FFEP.
Hold on to the idea; we’ll return to it. Second, let me give you a quick summary of what Israel has accomplished in the past four or five days:
- Eliminated Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ( IRGC ) Aerospace Force’s senior leadership by using compromised communications to entice them into a high-level meeting and bombing the meeting-place.
- established air supremacy through sleeping cells-operated air-launched missile strikes and uavs smuggled into Iran.
- greatly hindered Iran’s centralized and administrative methods.
- In the opening time of Rising Lion, Iran’s nuclear weapon power was reduced by 15 %.
- At least 14 of Iran’s leading nuclear scientists were killed.
- 40 % of Iran’s nuclear weapon launch system has been eliminated, according to estimates.
- destroyed a number of important atomic services.
- Leveled important defense posts.
- seized out of services used to torture and control Persian citizens.
- Iran’s advertising TV system is shut down during a live broadcast!

And more was accomplished in less than five days thanks to a multi-domain energy that ranged from near-constant airstrikes to qualified assassination on the ground. Iran has very little ability to resist, despite having a declining capacity to build ballistic missile strikes at Israel, which are in any case significantly ineffective.
Iran was able to build lots of missiles and uavs at once next year. The most recent invasion was probably a few dozen. Sad!
What Israeli white-hat thief group Predatory Sparrow revealed currently about their attack on Iran’s Bank Sepah, which is much a front for IRGC, the country’s best military-terrorist organization, is what is most intriguing to me— at least if we get valuable data from it.  ,

According to Iran Intl., the team claims to possess “destroyed all information” at Sepah, and that there are “widespread finance disruptions” in Iran.
Gonjeshke Darande, or Predatory Sparrow, is credited with launching attacks on Egyptian banks. Despite looks, this professional is not all rhetoric. photograph. twitter.com/cSxi9Pi0ZS— John Hultquist ( @John Hultquist ) June 17, 2025
In other words, Predatory Sparrow delivers what they say about Tehran.

If Predatory Sparrow was able to copy IRGC’s financials before shutting down the bank, I would advise giving those files to Data Republican ( small-r ) and letting her work her magic. Who has been stealing Iran’s funding for terrorism may be known to the world.  ,
Another Fact: Possibly, Predatory Sparrow will look into some Qatari institutions after the dust settles. Simply putting that out there for those men, certainly that they require assistance.
Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appears to be still residing in his basement outside of Tehran and not all that happy about the quick personnel changes under his administration.
Khamenei is in a “difficult emotional state” because all he worked with is dead and he’s having a “hard day with the substitutes,” according to Channel 12 in Israel.

The killing of Major General Ali Shadmani, Iran’s recently appointed chief of staff, is the headline of the day on that before. He was given the position only two weeks after his father was killed in an Israeli attack on Tehran.
Egyptian recently appointed chiefs of staff have a shelf life of 48 days. Card last longer.  ,
However, FFEP continues. I favor that Israel use whatever means necessary to destroy the hospital itself. I haven’t mind at all if President Trump ordered a bunker-busting B-52 or B-2 attack on Fordow, which has been done since 1979.

Because the Khamenei program has a proper card to play in order to try to ensure its continued existence as long as FFEP is still in place. I’m not sure how a program manages to recover the harm that Israel has caused, but the mullahs have consistently proven to be shrewd.  ,
The mullahs you bargain and bluff from a position of dormant strength as long as Fordow remains. That cards may be taken off the table if there is going to be lasting peace.
Through Fordow’s death, peace can be found.  ,
