US and Israel Launch Massive Strikes Against Iran, Trump Vows to Destroy Missile Program

TEHRAN — The United States and Israel launched a massive military attack against Iran in the early hours of Saturday, targeting regime objectives and military bases across the country, as President Donald Trump confirmed American involvement and vowed to ensure Iran never obtains a nuclear weapon.

Exiled Iranian Crown Prince Declares Regime’s Collapse Imminent, Calls for Uprising

“We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry. It will be totally destroyed, once again. We are going to annihilate their navy (…) We will make sure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon,” Trump said in a message following confirmation of US participation in the attack.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz declared a state of emergency throughout the country after stating that the attack was carried out “to eliminate threats to the State of Israel.”

Explosions Rock Iranian Cities

The semi-official Iranian news agency Fars reported at least three explosions in Tehran, the Iranian capital. Other official media outlets, including the IRNA news agency, cited correspondents on the ground confirming that the city center became enveloped in dense columns of smoke as a consequence of the explosions.

Beyond Tehran, regime media also reported explosions in multiple cities including Isfahan, Qom, Lorestan, Karaj, Kermanshah, and Tabriz, suggesting a coordinated, multi-front attack against Iranian military infrastructure.

Iranian Response and Israeli Defenses

The Israeli military confirmed that Iran has responded to the attacks by launching missiles toward Israeli territory. “The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have identified missiles launched from Iran toward Israel. Defense systems are operational to intercept the threat,” they announced in a statement on social media.

The confirmation of an Iranian counterstrike raises the specter of a rapidly escalating conflict between the regional powers, with potential implications for global security and energy markets.

Trump Calls on Iranian People to Seize Control

In a dramatic appeal directed at the Iranian population, President Trump called on citizens to be ready to take over their government once the military operation against the Iranian regime concludes. He urged members of the Iranian security forces to lay down their arms, promising “total immunity” if they do so.

“When we finish, take control of your government, it will be yours to take,” Trump indicated in his social media message, suggesting a broader objective beyond military strikes that encompasses regime change.

Scope of the Attack

In his intervention, President Trump described the operation in expansive terms. “The American military has carried out a massive and continuous operation to prevent this radical and evil dictatorship from threatening the United States and our fundamental national security interests,” he said when referring to Iran.

“We are going to destroy their missiles and raze their missile industry. It will be totally destroyed, once again. We are going to annihilate their navy. We are going to ensure that the terrorist agents in the region can no longer destabilize the region or the world, nor attack our forces, nor use their improvised explosive devices (IEDs), or roadside bombs, as they are sometimes called, to so seriously wound and kill thousands and thousands of people, including many Americans. And we will make sure that Iran does not obtain a nuclear weapon,” he added.

Escalating Crisis

Since the early hours of Saturday, high columns of smoke have been visible at various points in Tehran following the US and Israeli attacks. Social media platforms have been flooded with videos documenting the strikes, showing flashes in the night sky and plumes rising over urban areas.

The attack marks a significant escalation in the long-running shadow conflict between Israel and Iran, bringing it into open warfare with direct American participation. The international community now watches with growing concern as the situation continues to develop, with fears of a broader regional war that could draw in other powers and have severe consequences for global stability.

UPDATE: US and Israel Launch Massive Attack on Iran, Supreme Leader Khamenei Reported Dead

The United States and Israel launched a massive, large-scale attack on Iran on Saturday aimed at overthrowing the ayatollahs’ regime, which has resulted in the death of its Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. This was announced by US President Donald Trump: “Khamenei, one of the most evil people in history, is dead.” Earlier, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also stated that “there are many signs that Khamenei is no longer alive,” after this large-scale operation destroyed the Supreme Leader’s compound “in the heart of Tehran.” Since the early morning, the Iranian capital has been the target of explosions — where dense columns of smoke have been seen — which have also occurred throughout the day in other cities across the country such as Isfahan, Tabriz, and Karaj.

    Nawaz Sharif calls for better governance in AJK

    Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Nawaz Sharif has urged political parties to keep their differences within the bounds of democratic competition, saying political rivalry should never turn into personal hostility. Addressing a meeting of the PML-N Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) parliamentary party in Murree, Nawaz congratulated the candidates who won seats in the AJK elections and called for greater financial support for the region. He said the federal government should provide AJK with maximum possible development funds so that the territory can improve its infrastructure and public services. He also directed the party leadership to examine the reasons behind the defeat of several strong PML-N candidates and learn from the election results. Nawaz said the party had secured victories in two phases of the electoral process, describing the results as another expression of public confidence in the PML-N. However, he cautioned that the party must deliver on its promises to retain that trust. “If the PML-N fails to deliver, the people here will become disappointed,” he said. The former prime minister stressed the need to improve roads, hospitals and other basic facilities across AJK. He said children in the region should also have access to modern educational opportunities and technology, including laptops. Nawaz credited Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s efforts for the country’s ongoing development, saying Pakistan was moving forward. He called for AJK to experience similar progress and said the region should develop along the lines of Punjab. He stressed that the PML-N could not afford to disappoint voters who had placed their confidence in the party. Nawaz also expressed concern over complaints that emerged during the political process involving the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). He said he had not expected the PPP to provide an opportunity for complaints, particularly given that the party had previously led the AJK government. “Some complaints reached us, and I was saddened by them,” Nawaz said, while emphasising the need for political parties to maintain respectful relations despite their differences. He said previous AJK governments had failed to fully meet public expectations and stressed that improving the welfare and living standards of the region’s people should remain the top priority. Nawaz maintained that the PML-N would continue to focus on development and public service while working to strengthen its political position in AJK.

    LHC dismisses PTI’s Minar-e-Pakistan rally p…

    The Lahore High Court on Wednesday dismissed a petition filed by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), which sought permission to hold a public rally at Minar-e-Pakistan in Lahore. During the hearing, the court ruled that the petition had become unnecessary because the Deputy Commissioner (DC) had already made a decision on the party’s request for the gathering. The bench observed that the court must act within the framework of the law and cannot intervene once the competent administrative authority has issued its decision. The judges noted that the matter no longer required judicial consideration, as the relevant government official had already exercised the authority assigned under the law. On this basis, the court dismissed PTI’s plea. The ruling marks another legal setback for PTI in its efforts to secure permission for a public meeting at the historic Minar-e-Pakistan venue, where the party has previously held major political gatherings. The decision leaves the administrative authorities’ determination on the proposed rally in place.

    Middle East braces for intense heatwave as tempera…

    DUBAI: A fresh wave of extreme heat is set to grip the Middle East this week, with temperatures forecast to approach 50 degrees Celsius across several countries, prompting weather authorities to issue alerts over dangerous conditions. The UAE’s National Center of Meteorology (NCM) has warned that the coming days will bring soaring temperatures across the region, particularly affecting the United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Kuwait, and eastern Saudi Arabia, where prolonged exposure to the heat could pose serious health risks. According to meteorologists, desert regions in the UAE are expected to experience the highest temperatures, with some areas likely to approach the 50°C mark. Authorities have urged residents to avoid unnecessary outdoor activities during peak afternoon hours and to remain well hydrated. The latest forecasts indicate that Al Shawamekh in Abu Dhabi has already recorded temperatures exceeding 50°C, highlighting the intensity of the current weather conditions. Kuwait is also expected to experience extreme heat, with temperatures predicted to reach 48°C in the coming days, while parts of Iraq and eastern Saudi Arabia are likely to face similarly scorching conditions. Despite the widespread heat, forecasters say some eastern and southern parts of the UAE, including Fujairah, could receive rainfall by Thursday as unstable weather develops over mountainous regions. The weather authority has also issued warnings for strong winds, reduced visibility, and dust storms, which may affect road travel and outdoor activities across several parts of the region. Health experts advise people to stay indoors whenever possible, drink plenty of water, wear light-colored clothing and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, particularly during midday when temperatures are expected to peak. The renewed heatwave follows a summer of record-breaking temperatures across several parts of the world, with climate scientists warning that extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense due to global climate change. Governments across the Gulf have increasingly introduced measures to protect workers and residents during the hottest months, including restrictions on outdoor labor during peak daytime hours and expanded public awareness campaigns on heat-related illnesses. As the latest heatwave builds across the region, authorities continue to monitor weather conditions closely while urging the public to follow official safety advisories. With temperatures expected to remain exceptionally high over the coming days, residents are being encouraged to take extra precautions to minimize the risk of heat exhaustion and heatstroke.

    Cardi B talks about being single forever in new co…

    Cardi B is opening up about her love life once again, making it clear that while she is currently single, she has no intention of staying that way forever. The Grammy-winning rapper recently addressed fans during an X Spaces conversation, where she spoke candidly about relationships, personal growth, and the challenges of dating in the public eye. Her honest remarks come after months of speculation surrounding her romantic life following the end of her marriage to Offset.  During the live discussion, Cardi responded to fans who encouraged her to remain single and focus only on herself. However, the rapper explained that she does not see permanent singlehood in her future. She said she spent her entire Little Miss Drama tour without dating or entertaining anyone romantically, but emphasized that she eventually wants companionship again. According to Cardi, being single has given her time to reflect, but it does not mean she plans to avoid relationships for the rest of her life.  The 33-year-old artist, whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar, has experienced several highly publicized relationships over the years. Her marriage to rapper Offset was filled with ups and downs before eventually ending. Since then, Cardi has focused on balancing motherhood with her music career while navigating life in the spotlight. As the mother of four children, she has often spoken about wanting to provide a stable and loving environment for her family while continuing to pursue her professional goals.  Her latest comments have also fueled fresh speculation about her dating life. In recent days, Cardi has been photographed spending time in Italy with Nigerian footballer Maduka Okoye, leading to rumors that the pair could be more than friends. Although the rapper has not confirmed a romantic relationship, she acknowledged that dating as a celebrity is far from easy. She explained that because of her fame, she has to be extremely selective about the people she allows into her personal life.  Despite the ongoing headlines, Cardi’s message was ultimately about moving forward rather than dwelling on the past. She made it clear that she values love and companionship, but she is also committed to protecting her peace and making thoughtful decisions about future relationships. Her comments suggest she is embracing a new chapter—one focused on happiness, stability, and personal growth rather than public expectations.  As fans continue to follow every development in her personal life, Cardi B remains unapologetically honest about her emotions. Whether she chooses to stay single for a while longer or eventually finds a new partner, the rapper’s latest confession shows she is determined to live life on her own terms while staying true to herself and her family.
