Trump: I will strike Iran again if it resumes enrichment
Shafaq News – Washington/ Tehran On Friday, US President Donald Trump reiterated that Iran's nuclear sites were not evacuated prior to the airstrikes, noting that the facilities were destroyed despite all the fake news about the achievements of US pilots. Trump stated that Iran is unlikely to restart its nuclear program in the near future, but warned that he would consider launching another strike if Tehran resumed uranium enrichment. He also vowed to respond to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's recent statement declaring an Iranian 'victory' in the conflict. Both Iran and Israel were exhausted and wanted to bring the confrontation to an end, the US president pointed out, adding that Iran is now seeking to open dialogue with Washington, without offering further details. Calling for renewed inspections, he emphasized that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), or any trusted entity, should be allowed to examine Iranian nuclear sites. Earlier, Trump had claimed that Mossad operatives entered the facility after the bombing and filmed the destruction, claiming the footage would soon be released. He also asserted that the attack had 'completely destroyed' the underground facility. Iranian officials denied allegations by US President Donald Trump that Israeli Mossad agents infiltrated the Fordow nuclear facility. According to Iran's Fars News Agency, sources described the infiltration reports as a 'baseless attempt to manipulate public opinion.' However, Israel's Channel 12 reported that newly obtained satellite images show Iran resuming activity at the Natanz nuclear facility. According to the report, recent movements and visible work at the site suggest that Iranian authorities have begun efforts to extract enriched uranium stored in underground sections of the complex.

Afghan Taliban Commander Abdul Hamid Khorasani Calls For Killing Shi'ites: 'Iranians Are Vile... They Offer Their Daughters And Women To Our Migrant [Afghan] Youths'; 'If You Kill One Of Khamenei's Ac
The following report is now a complimentary offering from MEMRI's Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor (JTTM). For JTTM subscription information, click here. On June 19, 2025, Afghan journalist Sami Jahesh shared a video of noted Afghan Taliban commander Abdul Hamid Khorasani declaring in Dari that killing Iranians and Shi'ites, including the Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his followers, brings great spiritual reward. It is not clear when the video was released. Khorasani, known for his controversial positions, urges Afghan migrants in Iran to kill Ali Khamenei and his Shi'ite followers, stating: "Killing these people, Khamenei and his followers, brings immense reward." A screenshot from the video Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini "Khamenei Himself, May God's Curse Be Upon Him, Is A Number One Bastard – These People [Shi'ites]... Are Bastards" "Iranians are vile people... They offer their daughters and women to our migrant youths [Afghans]... they are disgraceful. [Iranian Supreme leader Ali Hosseini] Khamenei himself, may God's curse be upon him, is a number one bastard. These people [Shi'ites]... are bastards. Those who doubt that Khamenei and his followers are bastards do not possess sound reason or logic. "I will give you religious reasons. Those who doubt, go and read their blasphemous and polytheistic beliefs... in [Shi'ites books] Bihar Al-Anwar, Nahj Al-Balagha... read these things and see what kind of blasphemies and polytheistic statements they make. "These people are not religious – they are a religion, a separate religion, completely a separate religion. Real scholars understand and know this. But telling the truth requires courage and determination." Addressing Afghan Migrants In Iran: "If You Have Courage, If You Have Even A Bit Of Faith In You, Look – There Are Knives, There Are Pistols, Everything – Kill Them [Iranians And The Shi'ites], Slaughter Them From Behind" "If you have courage, if you have even a bit of faith in you, look – there are knives, there are pistols, everything – kill them [Iranians and the Shi'ites], slaughter them from behind. "Slaughter them from behind so that the cowardly, dishonorable, wicked, polytheistic, and filthy Iranians know the honor of the Muslim people of Afghanistan – so that they no longer oppress my poor and helpless compatriots. "I give you... a fatwa [religious decree] from the Holy Word of Allah – they are idolaters, unbelievers, worse than the Jews and Christians. And with religious evidence, I challenge anyone who disagrees... anyone at all: killing these people, Khamenei and his followers, brings immense reward. "If you kill one of Khamenei's accursed followers, it is like killing ten Jews, it is like killing ten Jews. That is how great the reward is, because they are polytheists, rude, and insolent."
