Iranian officials continue to mock Western media.

Iran’s state media (IRIB) mocks CENTCOM’s “fact checks.”

🇺🇸🇮🇷 US President Trump is considering a ground operation in Iran to seize about 450 kg of enriched uranium.

UK activist group Led By Donkeys used a speedboat to approach billionaire Larry Ellison’s $160 million superyacht Musashi off the French Riviera and renamed it “The Trump Propagandist.”

Iran managed to damage the oil refinery in Haifa, Israel.

BREAKING: Spain closed its airspace to aircraft involved in Iran War and barred use of its Rota and Morón air bases for related combat or refueling flights.

The move led Washington to drop plans to deploy B-52 and B-1 bombers to Morón after consulting Madrid.

Despite the war and sanctions, Iran has nearly doubled its oil revenues, exporting about 2.4–2.8 million barrels per day at much higher prices.

China is buying over 90% of exports.

🇮🇱In Israel, the Knesset has approved a law on the death penalty for terrorists.

According to the approved version of the bill, thedeath penalty will be carried out by hanging.

🇺🇸🇮🇷🇸🇦⚡️- "Iran respects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and considers it a brotherly nation.

Our operations are aimed at enemy aggressors who have no respect for Arabs or Iranians, nor can provide any security. Just look at what we did to their aerial command.

High time to eject U.S. forces." - Iranian Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi.

🇮🇱🇮🇷 Israel says it has nearly completed strikes on Iran's key military and weapons sites and has now ordered a shift in focus toward targeting economic assets.

Officials say future strikes will target infrastructure such as gas facilities and steel plants to increase pressure on the Iranian government.

Iran may be targeting alternative export routes used by U.S. allies to avoid Hormuz.

Trump’s approval just under 40% and falling.

Net approval ~ -17 (worst of his second term so far).

Main reason: rising gas prices (~$4) + economic frustration.

Iran war isn’t helping, no rally effect; it’s unpopular and tied to higher costs.

Kuwait says its giant crude oil tanker Al-Salmi was directly targeted by an Iranian attack while anchored in the anchorage area of Dubai Port, UAE.

The tanker was fully loaded at the time of the incident.

The attack caused structural damage to the vessel and triggered a fire on board, with a possible oil spill in the surrounding waters.

BIG: Trump has told aides he is willing to end the current U.S. war with Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains largely closed.

The White House now believes that forcibly reopening the strait would require a much longer and riskier military campaign than Trump wants.

Instead, the administration’s immediate goal is to cripple Iran’s navy, missile stockpiles, defense industry, and strike capacity, then wind down hostilities and try to pressure Tehran diplomatically to allow shipping to resume.

That means the U.S. may stop short of fully restoring freedom of navigation before declaring its main war aims achieved.

If diplomacy fails, Washington is reportedly hoping that allies in Europe and the Gulf will take on more of the burden of securing the waterway later, rather than the U.S. doing it immediately alone.

This is a major gamble, because the Strait of Hormuz remains one of the most important energy chokepoints in the world.

Even if the U.S. can claim military success against Iran, leaving Hormuz partially shut would mean the economic shock of the war could continue long after the shooting slows down.

Satellite imagery suggests Iran may have moved up to 540 kg of highly enriched uranium to an underground tunnel complex in Isfahan just days before Israeli and US airstrikes in June 2025.

A high-resolution image from June 9 shows a heavy truck carrying 18 shielded containers at the tunnel entrance.

Experts believe the containers resemble Type B nuclear transport casks, potentially capable of holding Iran’s entire stockpile of 60% enriched uranium.

If true, this would mean:
Iran likely emptied Natanz and Fordow before the strikes.

The enriched uranium may now be stored in an undamaged underground facility.

The IAEA still does not know the exact location of the material.

Iran could theoretically further enrich 60% uranium to weapons-grade (90%) in about 10 days using advanced centrifuges.

Alternative explanations (decoy, medical isotopes, chemicals, construction materials) are considered but viewed as less likely.

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi:

The war criminals in Israel are now openly and unashamedly bombing pharmaceutical companies.

Their intentions are clear.

What they've gotten wrong is that they're not dealing with defenseless Palestinian civilians. Our Powerful Armed Forces will severely punish aggressors.

🇺🇸🇮🇷⚡️- The IRGC has threatened America’s top big tech companies in the region, including Google, Nvidia, Apple, IBM, Tesla, Intel and Cisco, accusing them of being abbettors in the American and Israeli aggression against the country.

Employees in the region were advised by the IRGC to retreat from their workplaces, and told that the attacks would begin Wednesday at 8 P.M. Tehran time, per The Hill.
