Israeli media: US may join strike on Iran tonight
Shafaq News/ Israeli media suggested that the United States may join military operations against Iran later tonight.
Channel 12 reported that Israeli assessments point to a possible US involvement in the conflict, indicating that Washington could participate in military actions against Tehran within hours.
Meanwhile, Fox News cited a US official as saying that "the military option is on the table," confirming that "strikes on Iranian targets, including nuclear facilities, are under discussion."
Separately, CBS reported that bipartisan lawmakers have begun efforts to prevent President Donald Trump from issuing military strike orders against Iran. The legislators stressed that "Congress is the only constitutionally authorized body to declare war."
Following a meeting involving US President Donald Trump and his national security team, The New York Times reported that Iran has positioned missiles in preparation to strike American bases in the Middle East if Washington joins the war.
US officials told the newspaper that American forces have raised alert levels at military bases across the region. They also warned that Iran may begin laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz to target US vessels if American forces launch an attack.

WhatsApp blocked after Iran urges public to delete app
Menlo Park – WhatsApp said it was 'concerned' that its services would be blocked in Iran after a state broadcaster urged the public to delete the messaging app, saying it was sharing data with arch-rival Israel. State television IRIB appealed to Iranians on Tuesday to delete WhatsApp from their phones, alleging that the app collected users' personal data and 'last known locations and communications,' and shared them with Israel. On Wednesday, Israel and Iran exchanged fire for the sixth straight day, with Israel saying it struck a nuclear site near Tehran. A WhatsApp spokesperson dismissed the IRIB claims, saying all messages sent on the app were 'end-to-end encrypted,' with only the sender and recipient able to access them. 'We're concerned these false reports will be an excuse for our services to be blocked at a time when people need them the most,' the spokesperson told AFP. 'We do not track your precise location, we don't keep logs of who everyone is messaging and we do not track the personal messages people are sending one another,' they said. WhatsApp also does not 'provide bulk information to any government.' Israel launched a massive bombing campaign against Iran on Friday that has hit nuclear and military facilities, as well as residential areas. Iran has responded by launching missiles and drones, and early Wednesday said it had fired hypersonic missiles at Israel. Tehran announced Friday that it was placing temporary restrictions on the internet for the duration of the conflict. Numerous sites and apps have since been at least partially inaccessible. The authorities appealed to the public on Tuesday to 'minimize their use of equipment connected to the internet and to take appropriate precautions' online. For their own safety, civil servants and their security teams have been banned from using any connected devices, including smartphones, watches and laptops during the Israeli air offensive. In the wake of nationwide protests triggered by the 2022 death in custody of Mahsa Amini, Iranian authorities had blocked several apps and online services, including WhatsApp.

Iran: Nuclear facilities largely undamaged by Israeli strikes
2025-06-18T09:44:15+00:00 Shafaq News/ Iran's nuclear infrastructure remains largely undamaged despite recent Israeli airstrikes, a senior Iranian official confirmed on Wednesday. Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, told Mehr News Agency that operations continue uninterrupted and morale among staff remains strong, asserting, 'There has been no retreat under pressure.' The statement follows Israeli strikes on multiple nuclear sites, including Natanz—home to Iran's main uranium enrichment facility—Fordow, a fortified site enriching uranium above 60%, the Ahmadi Roshan complex in Isfahan, and the Bushehr reactor, Iran's only operational nuclear power plant. Iran's Ambassador to the UN, Amir Saeid Iravani, had condemned the assault as a deliberate strike on 'a peaceful nuclear facility operating under full IAEA safeguards,' warning it risked triggering a radiation emergency. Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, claiming Iran was nearing nuclear weapon capability. However, recent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) assessments have found no evidence of a coordinated effort to develop a nuclear weapon. Earlier today, Israeli military officials, speaking to The Guardian, acknowledged the strikes did not significantly disrupt Iran's nuclear progress, though they may have postponed any potential weaponization by several months.

Iran blames IAEA Chief for enabling Israeli strikes
Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, Iran's Foreign Ministry accused Rafael Grossi, the Head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), of negligence and blamed his remarks for fueling Israeli attacks. Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei sharply criticized Grossi for failing to promptly address Israeli strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities. "His statements came too late,' Baqaei told Al Jazeera. He called on Grossi to 'assume full responsibility,' noting that the recent IAEA report handed Israel a pretext to attack Iran's nuclear infrastructure. A landmark IAEA resolution has recently declared Iran in breach of its non-proliferation obligations, citing Tehran's refusal to fully cooperate and its possession of uranium enriched to near-weapons-grade levels. However, new IAEA assessments have found no evidence of a coordinated effort to develop a nuclear weapon. A separate US intelligence assessment, cited by CNN, stated that Iran remains up to three years away from being able to build and deliver one. Baqaei also condemned the UN Security Council for 'failing to act' due to the positions of certain member states. 'We are under illegal attack from the Israeli regime. We will respond forcefully to any aggression,' he cautioned, stressing that Iran had been pursuing diplomacy with the United States until Israeli airstrikes halted the process. He warned of dangerous consequences if the international community remains passive. 'No country has the right to strike another's nuclear sites. The world cannot afford the fallout of this conflict.' In a separate post on X, Baqaei had criticized the Group of Seven, accusing it of turning a blind eye to Israel's 'illegal bombardment' of civilian neighborhoods and peaceful nuclear facilities. He demanded accountability from the group's permanent Security Council members, calling the Israeli campaign 'a blatant violation of international law against a UN member state.' منشور المتحدث باسم وزارة الخارجية على منصة إكس: إدانة البيان المتحيز لمجموعة السبعإن بيان مجموعة السبع يتجاهل بشكل مبطن العدوان الصارخ الذي يشنه الكيان الصهيوني على إيران وهجماته غير القانونية على البنية التحتية النووية السلمية، فضلاً عن استهداف المناطق السكنية وقتل مواطنينا.… — 🇮🇷 الخارجية الإيرانية (@IRIMFA_AR) June 17, 2025 Since Friday, Israeli warplanes have carried out wide-scale strikes on Iranian military and nuclear facilities that killed senior commanders and leading scientists, alleging that Iran was approaching the point of no return in its nuclear weapons pursuit. Iran, which maintains its program is purely peaceful, responded with successive missile and drone attacks targeting Israeli cities and military bases, as both sides report rising casualties.
