How Iranian missile struck at the heart of zion*st cyber empire in Beer al-Sabe
A day after the zion*st colony launched multiple coordinated cyberattacks targeting Iran’s banking network and state television, Iran responded with a missile strike on what is widely regarded as the regime’s cyber capital.
On Friday morning, Iranian armed forces initiated a new wave of Operation True Promise III, striking many important Israeli military, intelligence, and industrial sites that support the regime’s aggression — whether in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, or Iran.
One of the principal targets was Beer al-Sabe, considered the stronghold of the Israeli regime’s cyber industry and a central hub in its global cyber warfare apparatus.
According to Israeli media reports, the missile fired by Iran successfully evaded the regime’s multi-layered air defense systems. Despite initial detection, the missile intercept systems failed to neutralize the projectile.
The aftermath of the precision-guided strike showed thick plumes of smoke rising from a building reduced to rubble — identified as a key center of the Israeli cyber army.
Located near Ben-Gurion University, Beer al-Sabe is home to the Advanced Technologies Park (ATP) — a sprawling complex where the regime’s cyber warfare operations against countries like Iran are developed and coordinated.This park houses major cybersecurity firms closely tied to the Israeli military and intelligence apparatuses, alongside multinational tech giants such as IBM, PayPal, and Oracle.
More critically, the city functions as a node for the integration of military and intelligence assets, with significant parts of Unit 8200 — Israel’s main cyber intelligence and surveillance division — based in Beer al-Sabe.
Within this ecosystem, the occupation army, private cyber firms, and academic institutions affiliated with the regime work in unison, using cyber warfare as a tool of settler-colonialism and expansionism in the region and beyond.
Ben-Gurion University itself plays a pivotal role in the regime’s cybersecurity research and collaborates extensively with its military and intelligence branches to develop offensive cyber capabilities in brazen breach of international laws.
Successive Israeli regimes have poured substantial investments into Beer al-Sabe to cement its status as the cyber capital of the Zionist entity, inviting top global cyber firms to set up operations there.
The regime has long weaponized cyberattacks to achieve its strategic objectives.In 2009-2010, it partnered with the United States to launch a major cyberattack on Iran’s nuclear facilities — damaging centrifuges — marking one of the first known uses of cyber technology for destructive purposes, despite Iranian sites being under the UN surveillance.
Over the years, it has carried out cyberattacks on Iranian ports, fuel distribution networks, and railway systems, in blatant violation of international norms governing cyberspace.
The regime has also targeted resistance movements like Hamas in Gaza and Hezbollah in Lebanon, aiming to disrupt their communications and operations.
At the core of these operations is Unit 8200, a division that has gained notoriety for leading the Israeli military’s cyber intelligence and hacking efforts, conducting widespread surveillance, espionage, and offensive digital campaigns.
The regime has also deployed cyber tools to spy on governments and institutions around the world. Tools such as Pegasus spyware, developed by Israel’s NSO Group, have been used to covertly infiltrate mobile devices for intelligence gathering.
Given this record, regional cybersecurity officials say Friday’s Iranian missile strike on Beer al-Sabe was a long-overdue response to years of cyber aggression emanating from the city.PressTV report

True Promise III: No respite as Iran unleashes Shahed-136 drones on ‘Tel Aviv’, Haifa
In a new phase of Operation True Promise III in the wee hours of Saturday morning, Iranian armed forces fired a barrage of ballistic missiles at the occupied territories.
The eighteenth wave of the historic retaliatory operation started at around 3:10 am local time in Iran, with some videos circulating online showing the night sky over the occupied territories lit up by the Iranian long-range missiles.
Air raid sirens were activated as soon as the missiles arrived, forcing settlers to head back to underground bunkers, where they have been spending most of their time these days.
Israeli media reported massive explosions in the heart of Tel Aviv, indicating that the missiles yet again managed to evade three-tier air defense systems to hit their intended targets.
One of the videos showed a missile making a direct hit on a building in Tel Aviv, sparking massive blaze, after the early warning system reportedly failed to activate.
Some reports said an explosion was heard in the Krayot area near the occupied port city of Haifa, which came under massive missile and drone attack on Friday as well.
In a statement following the operation, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said the latest phase of Operation True Promise III was carried out in the central part of the occupied Palestinian territories and Ben Gurion Airport, targeting military facilities and operational support centers of the Zionist regime’s army.The attack involved a massive deployment of Shahed-136 suicide and combat drones, along with precision-guided solid- and liquid-fueled missiles, which managed to hit and destroy pre-designated targets successfully.
The statement further noted that several squadrons of Shahed-136 drones continuously carried out missions over the skies of the occupied territories on Friday night and the most advanced air defense systems failed to intercept them.
“Combined missile and drone operations will continue in a sustained and targeted manner,” the statement added.
It came hours after another strong wave of missiles and drones targeting Israeli military sites and industries as well as command and control centers and spying hubs.
A statement issued by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said long-range and super-heavy missiles as well as combat and suicide drones were used in this phase.
The spokesperson said the world must “await for our surprises,” adding that the sacred defense with the support of the Iranian people will end with victory.Despite the sweeping censorship, some videos were shared online showing smoke billowing up in the air at the Haifa port after one of the missiles made a direct impact there.
A barrage of missiles, some of them being used for the first time, also hit military targets in other parts of the occupied territories on Friday, including the cyber hub of Beer al-Sabe.
The headquarters of the Zionist propaganda outlet, Channel 14, was also successfully targeted on Friday after the prior evacuation warning issued by the IRGC.
True Promise III is a response to their Israeli aggression that started a week ago and led to the assassination of many high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, civilians as well as attacks on nuclear sites and a state television building.
On Friday, following his meeting with European counterparts in Geneva, Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi asserted that no talks would be held as long as the Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic continues.PressTV report

Strait of Hormuz closure in event of US aggression against Iran to paralyze world economy
As regional tensions escalate amid the zion*ist regime’s brutal aggression against the Islamic Republic, the possibility of the closure of Strait of Hormuz is a possibility, according to experts.
The likelihood of the ongoing war imposed on Iran extending to the sea has increased after US President Donald Trump indulged in war-mongering rhetoric against the Islamic Republic.
Trump, under the pressure of the powerful Zionist lobby in Washington, has dropped hints of directly intervening in the Israeli war against Iran, ignoring the counsel of his advisors.
Strategic experts, speaking to the Press TV website, said the direct American military intervention will prove costly for the US and the Donald Trump administration.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, in a video message on Wednesday, categorically warned against any American military intervention.
“Those with wisdom, who truly understand Iran, its people, and its long history, never speak to this nation with the language of threats. Iran will not yield,” he asserted.Europe will have to deal with the new wave of energy crisis, more crippling and devastating than anything they have seen before, said an expert, including the three European countries that backed the anti-Iran resolution at the UN nuclear agency’s board of governors meeting.
The steep rise in energy prices would force the shutdown of major industries in the United Kingdom, Germany, France and other European countries.
The United States, which has threatened to take military action against Iran on behalf of its proxy in the West Asia region, the Zionist regime, will also be affected severely, experts warn.
The gasoline prices in the country would rise, forcing the closure of many industries that contribute to the American economy, and make millions of people jobless.
According to some forecasts, oil prices are likely to jump 80 percent in the very first week if the Strait of Hormuz is closed, as alternative routes would incur heavy costs.
“So, the wisdom lies in the US staying away from this war, for its own benefit, and that of its allies,” said one expert. “Let the Zionist regime face the consequences of its terrorism.”PressTV report

zion*st attack on ambulances, enabled by world’s silence, amounts to ‘war crime’: FM spox
Footage shows the devastating aftermath of a zion*st airstrike on residential buildings in Tehran
https://t.me/presstv/145264Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman has strongly condemned the zion*st regime’s attack on a Red Crescent ambulance in Tehran as a blatant war crime and a serious violation of international humanitarian law.
In a statement on Friday, Esmaeil Baghaei said three aid workers were martyred in the deliberate act of aggression.
“The intentional attack on a Red Crescent ambulance in Tehran is a clear example of a war crime and a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law,” the spokesperson stated.
He said the continuation of such actions is directly linked to the silence and inaction of international organizations, as well as the lack of accountability for past actions by the Zionist regime.
According to the ministry health, six ambulances and one health service center have been directly and deliberately targeted in Israeli aerial strikes in the one week of aggression.
At least three hospitals have also been deliberately targeted, most recently on Thursday.
Last week, a children’s hospital in Tehran was also targeted in Tehran, which resulted in a number of injuries and damage to the hospital building.
The attacks on healthcare facilities and healthcare personnel across Iran since last Friday have drawn widespread condemnation as they impede access to critical medical care and endanger the lives of patients and medical personnel.PressTV report

https://t.me/PalestineResist/79157A third hospital in the Iranian capital Tehran was deliberately attacked early on Friday by the z*onist regime, according to Iran’s ministry of health.
In a statement, the ministry’s public relations wing said the latest act of aggression marks the third instance of a public health facility being targeted during a week of wanton aggression.
“Another hospital in Tehran was targeted by rockets by the zionist regime at 4:45 AM on June 20, 2025,” Dr. Hossein Karampur, the director of the ministry’s public relations department, wrote on X.
Last week, a children’s hospital in Tehran was also targeted, which resulted in a number of injuries and damage to the hospital building.
In addition to the three hospitals, at least six ambulances and one health service center have also been directly and deliberately hit in Israeli aerial strikes in one week, amounting to brazen violation of international conventions.
A female doctor, who worked at the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, was killed in the Israeli aggression along with her husband and a three-year-old child.
The horrendous attacks on healthcare facilities and healthcare personnel in Iran have drawn widespread condemnation as they impede access to critical medical care and endanger the lives of patients and medical personnel.
Since the aggression was launched against Iran last Friday, Israeli regime has deliberately targeted civilian areas, hospitals, and media houses in clear violation of international law.
However, according to human rights activists in Iran, the international community continues to turn a blind eye to these gross violations.PressTV report

Iran’s missile, drone barrage hits zion*st military sites, command and control hubs
In a fresh wave of Operation True Promise III, Iranian armed forces on Friday launched a barrage of missiles and drones at military targets in the south and north of occupied territories.
The spokesperson for the operation, in a statement, said the 17th phase saw the Iranian armed forces fire missiles and drones at zionist military sites and industries command and control centers as well as the spying hubs.
The statement further noted that long-range and super-heavy missiles as well as combat and suicide drones were used in this phase of the retaliatory operation.
The spokesperson said the world must “await for our surprises,” adding that the sacred defense with the support of the Iranian people will end with victory.
Despite the sweeping censorship on publication of images related to Iran’s retaliatory operations, some videos were shared online showing plumes of smoke billowing up in the air at the Haifa port after one of the missiles made a direct impact there.
The port city is wearing a deserted look amid the downpour of Iranian missiles, which have been evading multiple layers of Israeli defense systems to hit the intended targets.
The barrage of Iranian long-range missiles, some of them being used for the first time, also hit military targets in other parts of the occupied territories on Friday.
On Friday, in the skies of the northern occupied Palestine, a Shahid-136 drone was also spotted making a flight quietly without being intercepted.
The headquarters of the Zionist propaganda outlet, Channel 14, was also successfully targeted on Friday after the prior evacuation warning issued by the IRGC.
In the fifteen phases of the operation so far, Iranian armed forces – led by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) – have successfully targeted and decimated sensitive and strategic Israeli military and intelligence facilities in the occupied Palestinian territories.
Military experts say the missile and drone strikes have further exposed the ineffectiveness of the Israeli regime’s air defense systems, forcing illegal settlers and regime officials to flee their homes and seek shelter underground.
On Friday, Iran’s foreign minister will be holding talks with his European counterparts in Geneva to discuss the zionist colony aggression against the Islamic Republic.
He has ruled out diplomatic talks as long as the US-backed aggression continues.PressTV report

Grossi – another zion*st henchman
Grossi says IAEA report ‘not basis for war’ after threat of legal action from Iran.
An Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman said this week that the IAEA report on Iran helped pave the way for the zion*st war on the country –
The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, said that the agency’s report accusing Iran of secret and illicit nuclear activity is not the reason behind zion*st war against the country, after Tehran signaled it would take legal action against him.
“A report on the nuclear verification in Iran could hardly be a basis for any military action. Military action, from whomever it comes, is a political decision that has nothing to do with what we’re saying,” Grossi told CNN.
“In that report, I also said that, at this point, we do not have any indication that there is a systemic program in Iran to manufacture a nuclear weapon. It’s true that in the early 2000s, there had been some activities which were assessed at that time as related to nuclear weapon development … we are not seeing this now,” he added.
When asked about a potential “timeline” in which Iran could build a nuclear weapon, Grossi said discussing a timeline would be nothing but “pure speculation.”
On 19 June, the Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI) Mohammad Eslami sent a letter to Grossi condemning the “the criminal Zionist regime’s repeated barbaric attacks” across Iran and on its nuclear facilities, adding that these attacks took place “despite repeated warnings to you regarding inaction, especially by the Board of Governors, which unfortunately operates under the guidance, influence, and support of three European countries, the US, and the Zionist regime.”
Eslami added that Tehran would seek “legal action” against him.
Earlier on Thursday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei said Grossi has “betrayed the non-proliferation regime” and has made the IAEA “a partner to an unjust war of aggression” by Israel.
He also condemned the agency’s report and said it helped enable the zion*st war. “Too late,” he added, in response to Grossi admitting in an interview that there was “no proof” Iran seeks a nuclear weapon.
There is a religious fatwa against the development of nuclear weapons in Iran, and US intelligence assessments confirm that Tehran does not seek to weaponize its nuclear program. Nonetheless, Israel claims its US-backed war against the country aims to prevent Iran from building a nuke, and is pushing Washington to enter the conflict directly.
The war began just a day after the IAEA board passed a resolution accusing Tehran of non-compliance with its nuclear obligations under the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) Safeguards Agreement. The resolution was based on an IAEA report in late May, which claimed that Iran carried out secret nuclear activities with material not declared to the UN nuclear watchdog at three locations decades ago.The Cradle Media report
The Iranian regime is a terrorist one and must not be allowed to possess nuclear weapons.

We are only targeting nuclear and military facilities in Iran, while they are targeting civilians.
Iran has 28,000 missiles and is trying to develop nuclear bombs.
Our goal is to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, and we have the capabilities to do so.Pro-zionist Head of the International Atomic Energy Association (IAEA) Rafael Grossi:
“Countries of the region have reached out directly to me over the past few hours to express their concerns, and I want to make it absolutely and completely clear -- in case of an attack on the Bushehr nuclear power plant, a direct hit would result in a very high release of radioactivity."
Pro-zionist Grossi has no intention to intervene or, by all means, to take measures to stop a possible nuclear attack!
He does not even considere to condemn the unprovoked attacks on Iran

Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi arrives in Geneva for talks with European troika foreign ministers
Senior Iranian official (Reuters)
The role of European powers is now more important as Tehran is unwilling to engage with the United States amid ongoing zionist attacks.
A complete halt to uranium enrichment will undoubtedly be rejected, especially now amid zionist bombardment.Observe the hostile expression of the foreign minister of Nazi-Germany! Presstv Iran FM Abbas Araghchi:
🔸 All countries have a responsibility to condemn Israel’s military aggression against Iran and hold the zionist regime accountable for its gross violations of human rights and humanitarian law, as well as for committing war crimes.
🔹 The great nation of Iran, inheritor of an ancient and peace-loving civilization, is today the target of a ruthless military aggression by a regime that has committed horrific and organized crimes in the land of Palestine over the past two years, while simultaneously occupying parts of the territories of neighboring countries
🔸 Any attempt to justify this war is tantamount to complicity and collusion in this crime. Iran is defending itself against this brutal aggression. We are entitled, obligated, and determined to defend our territorial integrity, national sovereignty, and security with all our might.This is a historic moment for human civilization. The world must stand against aggression now and hold the aggressor accountable. This is a call from someone who has dedicated his entire life to dialogue and diplomacy, and at the same time, is a warrior who has participated in the imposed war of the Saddam regime and knows how to defend his homeland.

Iranian missile attacks cost zion*st ‘hundreds of millions’ per day
Experts estimate that zion*st interception operations alone are costing about $200 million on a daily basis.
The zion*st war on Iran and Tehran’s retaliatory attacks are costing hundreds of millions of dollars per day, according to experts who spoke with the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on 19 June.
Interceptor missiles used to shoot down Iranian ballistic missiles have been the most expensive, along with ammunition, aircraft, and the widespread destruction caused by missile attacks, which has been called “unprecedented.”
This could affect how long Israel’s campaign against Iran will last, according to the experts.
“The main factor which will really determine the cost of the war will be the duration. If it is a week, it is one thing. If it is two weeks or a month it is a very different story,” Karnit Flug, former Bank of Israel governor and senior fellow at the Israel Democracy Institute think tank.
Over 400 ballistic missiles have been fired by Iran at Israel since Tel Aviv launched its war on the country on 13 June.
Israel uses its Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow 3 systems to try to intercept as many of the daily missile launches as it can.
Experts estimate interception operations alone cost up to $200 million per day.
Each time the David’s Sling system is activated, it costs around $700,000, according to Yehoshua Kalisky, a senior researcher at the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies. However, this is assuming that only two interceptors are used, which is the minimum number.
Kalinsky added that each interception by the Arrow system costs approximately $4 million.
The damage caused by the missiles that make impact has also been significantly costly.
On 14 June, dozens of Iranian ballistic missiles struck several sites in Tel Aviv and Haifa. Among the targets was the Weizmann Institute of Science in the city of Rehovot, south of Tel Aviv, which is often described as Israel’s equivalent of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Video footage released by RT on Thursday showed the massive amount of destruction inflicted on the institute.The institute estimates that the damage from Iran’s missile strike on its main laboratory stands at around two billion shekels ($570 million). The attack severely damaged three major research buildings and partially affected many others, with around 45 laboratories impacted.
The figure reflects only infrastructure losses, and not the immense scientific toll, which includes destroyed rare materials, irreplaceable samples, and years of unfinished research. Rebuilding will cost tens of millions per lab.
Iran has continued to launch strikes on a daily basis since 13 June. Entire buildings have been destroyed or severely damaged, and thousands of Israelis have been rendered homeless.
At least 15,000 homes have been damaged by Iranian ballistic missiles.
“To date, the Compensation Fund call centers have received 9,900 claims since the beginning of the operation,” the Israeli Tax Authority said earlier this week. “Of these, 8,549 claims were for structural damage, 668 for vehicle damage, and 683 for damage to contents and other property.”
Between 13 June and 16 June, Iran’s missile attacks resulted in damages estimated at around one billion shekels ($277 million).
Security risks for major international companies that operate in Israel also pose a threat to the economy.
Israel’s Channel 12 reported on 20 June that shipping giant Maersk has suspended trips to Haifa port due to the risk of Iranian strikes.
Israel’s largest oil refinery was forced to shut down on 16 June after an Iranian missile strike caused extensive damage to the Bazan Group’s Haifa complex, killing three workers and disabling its main power station.
The Bazan complex supplies nearly 60 percent of Israel’s diesel and close to half of its gasoline.The Cradle Media report

zionist daily business and economics website Calcalist reported that Weizmann Institute of Science in southern Tel Aviv, suffered an estimated $572 million in damages due to Iran’s missile strike.
