The Iraq play book is back for Israel‘s attack on Iran. But it fools no one

Let us lay out the facts.

Iran is a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and allows international inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). It is under constant surveillance and has faced crushing sanctions for even the possibility of nuclear capability.

Israel, on the other hand, is not a signatory to the NPT. It has never permitted IAEA inspections of its nuclear facilities. And yet, it is widely believed to possess approximately 90 nuclear warheads.

It is also the only nuclear-armed power in the Middle East, and has consistently behaved in opposition to international law with its lethal tactics targeting civilians.

At this very moment, Israel’s leaders are under investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for genocide. This is not theory or speculation – it is unfolding in real time.

Neues Berliner Verfassungsschutzgesetz: Mehr Überwachung, weniger Kontrolle, erschwerte Auskünfte

Beim aktuellen Gesetzentwurf geht es unter anderem um die Ausweitung der Wohnraumüberwachung. So sollen Wohnräume in Zukunft einfacher überwacht werden dürfen. So ist die Passage des alten Gesetzes, dass diese Form der Überwachung nur zur „Spionageabwehr und des gewaltbereiten politischen Extremismus“ erfolgen darf, gestrichen worden, genauso wie der Zusatz, dass diese Maßnahme nur „im Einzelfall“ erfolgen darf.

Zudem will Schwarz-Rot nun dem Verfassungsschutz die weitreichendste Form des Staatstrojaners, die „Online-Durchsuchung“, sogar ohne explizite Zustimmung der G10-Kommission ermöglichen.

Israel kills 56 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them desperately seeking aid

(June 16, 2025)

At least 56 Palestinians have been killed since dawn across Gaza, including 38 people who were seeking aid for their hungry families at distribution points, mostly in the Rafah area in the south, medical sources have told Al Jazeera.

The latest carnage on Monday came at the controversial sites operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which is backed by the United States and Israel and operates in areas that are tightly controlled by the Israeli military and that critics have slammed as “human slaughterhouses”.

Iranian foreign minister accuses Netanyahu of duping Trump into ‚mother of forever wars‘

In a post on X, Araghchi said Netanyahu was „a con man who has duped successive US Presidents into fighting his own wars for almost three decades. By all indications, the purpose of Netanyahu‘s criminal attack on Iran – killing hundreds of innocent civilians, including women and children – is to scuttle a DEAL between Iran and the US, which we were on the right path to achieve.

Araghchi also accused Netanyahu of „playing“ President Donald Trump and American taxpayers „for absolute fools“. He said if Trump was serious about diplomacy, it would take „one phone call from Washington to muzzle someone like Netanyahu“. He also warned that an absence of a negotiated solution would have untold consequences for regional security and the global economy and get the US „mired in the Mother of Forever Wars“.

Trump: „Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran“

It‘s not immediately clear what triggered Trump‘s dramatic post on Truth Social or his early return from Canada. Israel has been conducting strikes in Tehran since Thursday night, but the U.S. has so far declined to join the operation.

Shortly after Trump‘s post, Iranian media reported explosions and heavy air defense fire in Tehran. It‘s unclear if there was any relation between Trump‘s post and the attack.
Tehran is home to around 10 million people, with around 17 million in the metropolitan area.
