Tehran University Professor Mohammad Marandi: I Advise Israelis to Leave - They Should Go Back to the U.S., Europe, Arab Countries, or Africa; Israeli Attacks Caused Little Damage, Most Targets Were D
Tehran University professor Mohammad Marandi told American podcasters on June 15 and 16, 2025, that the damage from Israeli attacks is significantly less than reported by Western media. He claimed that the Israeli warheads used were much smaller than those deployed by Iran, and that many of the Iranian jets, missiles, and radar systems reportedly destroyed were in fact decoys placed to mislead Israel into wasting its missiles without inflicting real damage.
Marandi said that Iran has not yet used its newer and more destructive weaponry against Israel. He also accused Israel of placing its anti-missile defense systems in 'the middle of Tel Aviv, in crowded streets.' Marandi advised Israelis to 'go back home' — to the United States, Europe, Arab countries, or Africa.
Marandi made these remarks in interviews with Sabrina Salvati on Sabby Sabs and Andrew P. Napolitano on Judge Napolitano – Judging Freedom, both on YouTube.

Iran launches tenth wave of strikes on Israel
Shafaq News/ On Tuesday evening, Iran launched the tenth phase of Operation True Promise 3 in its fifth day. The Operation, carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), involved launching ballistic missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles toward Israeli targets, according to Iranian media. Earlier, the Israeli military detected launches targeting Tel Aviv and surrounding areas. Army Radio reported the tracking of ten projectiles, while the Home Front Command issued emergency alerts and activated sirens across central Israel, in addition to Dimona and areas in the Negev. Strikes continue to escalate between Tehran and Tel Aviv, with drone and missile barrages from Iran targeting "strategic Israeli weapons and sites," and Israeli airstrikes on "military and nuclear sites."

Iranian mobile launchers slash warning times
Shafaq News/ On Tuesday, Iran drew up strategic contingency plans aimed at countering Tel Aviv, as Israeli strikes intensified. Israeli Home Front warned citizens that missile alerts may no longer be issued with a 30-minute lead time due to changes in Iran's missile-launch tactics, adding that future alerts may come as little as 10 minutes before impact. Tehran has reportedly shifted from fixed launch sites to mobile platforms—using 3–4 launchers that fire quickly and relocate immediately—significantly reducing early warning capabilities, according to an official statement cited by Israeli media. Meanwhile, Tehran has designated ten alternates for each critical leadership position to prevent disruption in the chain of command if key figures are killed, a source told Fars News Agency. The changes come as Israel intensifies its campaign against Iranian military infrastructure. Iranian air defenses engaged hostile targets in multiple locations, and explosions were heard in northern and eastern Isfahan as defense units responded to incoming missiles. Iranian media reported that an Israeli drone was also intercepted near the city of Malayer before reaching its target. The Israeli army confirmed it launched fresh airstrikes targeting multiple surface-to-surface missile launch platforms in the Mets region of Iran.

Iraq's Parliament demands air defense upgrade
Shafaq News/ On Tuesday, Iraq's Parliament called for urgent enhancement of national air defense systems after repeated Israeli violations of Iraqi airspace during operations against Iran. In a statement following a closed-door session, lawmakers urged the government to strengthen aerial, land, and maritime defense capabilities, file a formal complaint with the United Nations, and safeguard Iraqi sovereignty. The Parliament also endorsed the Najaf religious authority's (Ayatollah Ali Al-Sistani) stance in support of Iran and firmly rejected the use of Iraqi territory for cross-border military operations. MP Firas al-Maslamawi of the State of Law Coalition, a main alliance within the pro-Iranian Coordination Framework, pointed to growing calls to reassess Iraq's security cooperation with the Global Coalition, citing failures to prevent airspace violations and effectively address ISIS threats. 'Israeli incursions and ineffective counterterrorism coordination highlight the urgent need to protect our airspace,' he noted. To address defense gaps, Parliament announced the formation of a joint committee from the security and integrity blocs to examine delays in acquiring modern air defense systems. Since June 13, Iraqi airspace has become a corridor for missiles and drones exchanged between Israel and Iran, and according to military experts, Baghdad currently lacks advanced systems capable of intercepting such threats. In response, Iraqi forces have deployed anti-air units to strategic sites, including the Bazarkan oil field in Maysan province. A security official told Shafaq News the systems remain in monitoring mode and will only be activated if a direct threat is detected.
