does anyone have a video of the nuke- err I mean "bunker buster" explosion?

>>45101 > jewish world domination will be secured for another 100 years >implying the islamic regime in persia is a threat to jewish supremacy Who were the ones who gave the IDF coordinates to saddam's nuclear reactor? Who has a parlimentary building shaped like a pyramid with 33 windows? Who is a member of the world bank/IMF and by extension the BIS?

Since, Israel already attacked Iran ahead of USA attack; Iran got all the inventory moved even though the facility is most likely destroyed. Fordow facility is gone but the remaining underground facilities are probably still functional. The bunker buster can not drill as it rely on kinetic energy it would have caused a bigger seismic print and more crack in the mountains to reach below 60 meter.

Well guys as it always goes this whole thing was FAKE AND GAY i care not for random browns and jews but random people were killed or injured for no reason.. Or basically a real world netflix short doc idk

Its over, man. They've basically confirmed the ceasefire and cucked out. I can't believe this anymore. It'll be a Hezbollah-like equation, where they get their scientists and generals assassinated, their nuclear sites bombed, but respond with limp dick missile attacks. The only ones I feel bad for are the Yemenis, who literally yesterday, gave up on their agreement with the US, in solidarity with Iran. And Gazans who will be wiped out. I wish they had better backers than Pershits.

>>45290 >>45291 Okay, currently, Iran is launching missiles. Heavy death, casualties and destruction in Israel. HOWEVER The ceasefire is supposed to kick in at 7.00 A.M. Israel time. Maybe its just a "last punch" thing before it kicks in. Israel also did very heavy bombardment a few hours ago and went silent, thinking they were throwing the last punch. Lets wait and see. btw if you want some reasns why Iran potentially lost and accepted ceasefire, here's a good summary from a very reliable guy "In the opening strike, due to a combination of widespread internal sabotage and extensive Israeli airstrikes, most of Iran's long/medium range air defenses were wiped out. Since day 2 or 3 of the war, the Israelis have operated with almost complete freedom over Iran's skies. First in the West, then gradually expanding to the center. We saw even UAVs operating quite freely at some point, a tell tale sign that something is truly wrong. This matter of air superiority is key to understanding the missile situation. While Iran still has tens of thousands of ballistic missiles and hundreds of launchers, that's not the issue at all. The issue is, due to total Israeli air superiority, no large-scale missile attack could be staged without receiving an immediate preemptive strike from the enemy. The moment Iran takes the launchers out of the underground base, Israel detects this, and strikes with impunity. This forced Iran to carry out missile operations with smaller hit-and-run tactics, using older long range missiles from bases in the Center and the East, and unfortunately Iran's capability to respond in large volumes gradually declined. In these circumstances, realistically, a war cannot be maintained. Since the first few days, real deterrence was already gone, despite some periodic strikes on 'less than relevant' targets (with the notable exception of Weizmann institute and Unit 8200 Logistics HQ). Launching 10-20 missiles daily would be a waste if it is not an instrument to a wider military objective. Militarily speaking, Israel is the clear winner, and there is no sugarcoating this. However, politically, Israel lost. The Israelis did not achieve most of their main objectives. The Islamic Republic still stands, Iran's nuclear program still has a future, and martyred commanders have been replaced. Israel's main achievement in this war is the near complete dismantlement of Iranian AD sites, and as a result, the successful suppression of large-scale missile fire from Iran. This forces Iran into a corner, as it was no longer able to keep up with the escalation. The problem now is the following: Israel will use this ceasefire to re-arm itself. It will prepare for another war, more aggression, and to gradually achieve the goal they really wanted in the first place; regime change in Iran. It is also likely that they will try to implement the 'Lebanon model' in Iran — and strike targets inside Iran during the ceasefire, with relative impunity and no response. How will Iran deal with this issue? Iran also has to rebuild its capabilities. Once again, missiles and launchers are not the issue. Iran will repair the collapsed tunnel entrances of missile bases in the West, and almost all missile bases (with the exception of Tabriz) will become operational again. But then what? The air defense network is gone, the same situation will instantly repeat itself. Iran somehow has to find a way to guarantee that this ceasefire is not one-sided, that it rebuilds its capabilities, and that it finds a solution that guarantees its own survival and prevents any new Israeli aggression. In my opinion, the only way this can be done is rushing towards a nuclear bomb, nothing more and nothing less."

When aggregated nationwide, turnout reached multi-million levels. >2️⃣ Since the unrest began, protests have been reported in at least 111 cities across all 31 provinces, underscoring the truly national scope of the uprising. >3️⃣ Today’s protests followed the first-ever direct call by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, scheduled for 8:00 p.m. The response was widespread and visible across major cities. >4️⃣ Another nationwide call has already been issued for tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. Observers say the movement still has room to grow. >5️⃣ Analysts argue that the success of today’s call and dominant street slogans have effectively solidified Reza Pahlavi’s position as the central figure of the protests. >6️⃣ One of tonight’s largest demonstrations took place in Mashhad, Khamenei’s hometown and a city tightly controlled by his inner circle—a major symbolic blow. >7️⃣ In Tehran, protests expanded into more affluent neighborhoods like Vanak for the first time. Drivers joined in with continuous honking, while bazaar merchants went on strike in around 50 cities nationwide. >8️⃣ Student protests have erupted at 36 universities so far, with openly anti-regime slogans—an important escalation across generations. >9️⃣ Iranian human rights groups report at least 45 protesters killed, including 8 children, and hundreds injured. Yesterday alone saw 13 deaths, making it one of the bloodiest days so far. >🔟 Calls are growing—by both Iranian and non-Iranian activists—for world leaders to engage directly with Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, including renewed attention to a potential meeting with Donald Trump and the provision of resources to help him better lead the uprising. >11. Trump, in a recent interview, reiterated warnings to the regime and said of Pahlavi: “I’ve watched him, he seems like a nice person—but I’m not sure this is the right moment, as president, to do something like that.” >12. State media, while forced to acknowledge unrest, are pushing a narrative of “small crowds” and emphasizing alleged attacks on security forces—a pattern analysts warn may signal preparation for harsher repression. >13. Meanwhile, rare pro-regime gatherings were staged, alongside headlines declaring “the defeat of counter-revolutionaries”—widely seen as damage control. >14. Social media (Instagram) ahead of protests showed unprecedented public coordination and solidarity: shop closures announced in advance, emotional farewell messages, and strong virtual participation even from those unable to attend. >15. Outlook: Protests are expected to continue in the coming days—especially tomorrow. The movement’s success will hinge on the public’s ability to neutralize the Islamic Republic’s repressive apparatus. So far, the regime appears not to have deployed its full coercive capacity, relying instead on mass arrests and widespread injuries. If protests advance to the point of overrunning security and state institutions, the regime may resort to large-scale lethal violence. The role of Israel and the United States is crucial to the success of the protests. So far, there are no clear signs that the regime’s repressive apparatus is cracking. archive.ph/tmm3n >BBC Persian has confirmed footage from Isfahan showing a building connected to the state-run Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting agency (IRIB) on fire. >t.me/bbcpersian/268550 archive.ph/EDYY2 >Looks like many flights out of Istanbul couldn’t land in Iran and had to return back to Turkey tonight >Via @Faytuks

His Saturday meetings were canceled, and no official explanation has been given. >Contributed by @ink_conscious. archive.ph/PSm6y >🚨 It’s 12:50 a.m. in Iran. Below are my 12 key observations from Day 13 of Iran’s nationwide protests (January 9). >1️⃣ Scale of Protests: On the 13th day of the Iranian uprising, and following the call by CP Reza Pahlavi, massive crowds—numbering in the millions—took to the streets. At least in Tehran, Mashhad, and Qazvin, crowd sizes were larger than the previous night, indicating clear momentum. >2️⃣ Total Internet Blackout: Internet access inside Iran is currently estimated at just 1%. The country is under a near-total communications blackout. Videos and news are reaching the outside world only with extreme difficulty. One of the few remaining channels of communication is a very limited number of Starlink connections operating inside Iran. >Meanwhile, the regime and its affiliates retain access to “white SIM cards” and unfiltered internet—making verification from smaller cities extremely difficult. >3️⃣ Cities with Confirmed Protests: Despite the blackout, I have been able to confirm protests in major cities including: Tabriz, Shiraz, Karaj, Isfahan, Qom, Yazd, Rasht, Gorgan, Astara, Mahshahr, Kashan, and Abhar. More videos are likely to emerge once material manages to leave the country. >At this stage, it is fair to say that crowd size in Tehran and Mashhad was larger than yesterday, but the total number of cities involved may be lower—unless further reports surface. >4️⃣ Unprecedented Participation in Tehran: In Tehran, participation was truly large and widespread. Protesters did not gather in a single central location; instead, many neighborhoods formed independent crowds simultaneously. >Tehran’s level of participation in uprisings over the past eight years has been limited. The last comparable mass turnout dates back to 2009. In this round, the capital—Iran’s political center and largest city—has shown unprecedented engagement, a development that is deeply alarming for the regime. >5️⃣ Killings & Unconfirmed Death Toll: Iranian human rights groups have so far confirmed 51 deaths. However, videos from last night depict horrific scenes of mass killing. In two separate videos from hospitals in Tehran and Karaj, numerous bodies can be seen laid out on the ground. >Eyewitnesses report that late last night in Tehran alone, at least 35 people—and according to some unverified accounts, even more—were seen shot and lying on the streets. These incidents have not yet appeared in official tallies. >By scanning regime-linked media, I found that one outlet has admitted to six deaths in Hamedan last night—two regime personnel and the rest likely protesters. >Importantly, much of this killing occurred after the internet was cut. >6️⃣ Open Threats from the Regime: >For the first time, state television this morning aired a direct on-air threat against the public. Officials openly warned people of violent confrontation and death, urging families to “control their children.” >The Tehran Prosecutor declared that protesters are guilty of “moharebeh” (waging war against God)—a charge that carries the death penalty. >The head of the judiciary stated that punishment will be decisive, maximal, and without any legal leniency. Also, In a speech, Khamenei dismissed protesters as “rioters,” declaring that “Trump will be overthrown, just like many other global tyrants.” >7️⃣ School Closures: The regime has shut down schools in at least Tehran Province and East Azerbaijan Province. This move reflects deep fear of student participation and of youth joining protests immediately after classes end. >8️⃣ International Assessments: A U.S. media outlet reported: “Many officials are privately calling one another and exchanging messages, confused and overwhelmed by the scale of the protests.” Israeli and U.S. intelligence officials have assessed that the protests are serious, and that their evaluations of the regime’s resilience are constantly shifting. >9️⃣ Messages from Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi: >In a public message, Reza Pahlavi called on the Iranian diaspora to demonstrate worldwide. In an interview addressed to Khamenei, he said: >“This is your last chance. Leave this country before it’s too late. You can go join Bashar al-Assad in Moscow.” >In a separate message to Donald Trump, he warned of an impending new wave of mass killings and urged concrete action to help protesters inside Iran. >He also addressed security forces and police, urging them: “Do not kill your brothers and sisters.” >🔟 VOA Persian Censorship: Voice of America Persian continues to censor protesters’ slogans and refuses to air Reza Pahlavi’s calls, despite full coverage by diaspora and international media. >VOA staff have privately stated that senior U.S. officials are unaware of what the new director has been doing over the past two weeks. As a result, Ali Javanmardi is pushing his own personal agenda, according to internal sources. >Staff members say senior U.S. officials must be informed about this censorship and about how it undermines Iranian protesters. >11. The new flag: In a powerful symbolic move, X’s Head of Product, Nikita Bier, announced that the platform has removed the regime’s flag and replaced it with the Lion and Sun flag—the pre-revolution national emblem widely recognized by Iran’s opposition. 🇮🇷🇮🇷 >12: Outlook It is 4:00 p.m. EST. As of now, no new call for protests has been issued by Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi for tomorrow or the coming days. Still, sporadic protests are expected to continue in some cities. Given the scale of last night’s killings and this morning’s explicit threats, the regime appears determined to crush the uprising through mass violence. >Analysts argue the regime sees no other way to prevent collapse. The key question remains: Will the international community confront the regime—or not? >For now, further analysis depends on additional information and evolving variables. archive.ph/Rktv8 >Trump: >“Iran is in big trouble (…) People are taking over certain cities that nobody thought were possible just weeks ago (…) I made a statement very strongly that if they start killing people like they have in the past, we’ll get involved & will be m hitting them very hard” archive.ph/yAkMK >🚨🇮🇷 BREAKING: The regime’s security forces have practically lost control of: <Iran’s capital city Tehran. <The 2nd-largest city Mashhad. <The 5th-largest city Shiraz. archive.ph/qYYDx >BREAKING: >Islamic security forces in Iran are firing live rounds from automatic rifles at anti-regime protesters. archive.ph/J3BUn >BREAKING: >After killing more than 50 people in Fardis last night, the Islamic regime’s security forces are out on the streets again tonight and shooting at anti-regime protesters archive.ph/NbAWs >The streets of Tehran are full of Lion and Sun flags tonight >Via @RADOCLUB 🦁☀️ archive.ph/GCTNW >Crown Prince @PahlaviReza just might be about to travel to Paris and board an Air France flight flying south-east archive.ph/aqSf4 >Translated: 🚨 Tehran's streets look like this now.

Your unwavering presence and determination in the streets across Iran on Friday night, was a resounding response to the threats of the treacherous and criminal leader of the Islamic Republic. I am certain he saw these images from his hideout and trembled with fear. <Now, with your decisive response to the first call, I am certain that we will make our presence on the streets more purposeful, and at the same time, cut off the financial arteries of the Islamic Republic and its corrupt and oppressive apparatus. <In this regard, I call upon workers and employees in key economic sectors, particularly transportation, oil, gas, and energy, to initiate a nationwide strike. <Furthermore, I call on all of you today and tomorrow, on Saturday and Sunday (December 20 and 21), this time starting at 6 PM, to take to the streets with flags, pictures, and national symbols and reclaim public spaces.
