Tehran in shock: Fleeing with heavy hearts

After three days of evaluating the situation, my family and I decided to join the countless others who already fled Tehran.

After hurriedly packing some clothes and a few belongings in a suitcase, I drove from my own place to my girlfriend’s house to pick her up at about 4pm. Her parents, who work in healthcare, needed to stay in Tehran that day, but they have since left as well after Israeli air strikes intensified in their neighbourhood.

We then picked up my mother – along with our four cats who have been staying with her – from her home in western Tehran, close to a major road that exits the capital.

Israeli bombs were falling on multiple areas as we scurried to leave.

Trump reacts to mystery Chinese cargo claims in Iran amidst nuclear test rumours

Iran has claimed to have hit the Ben Gurion airport in its latest round of retaliatory attacks. Tehran said it used both missiles and drones to successfully hit the Israeli targets. Meanwhile social media platforms have erupted with claims of China allegedly helping Iran with technical help in carrying out a nuclear test. Several media outlets are linking the last week’s 5.2 earthquake near Iran’s nuclear site to support this claim. Trump too was asked about the presence of a mystery Chinese cargo plane but he enjoyed a good relationship with the Chinese president. Rifat Jawaid asks what is making Trump so desperate to help Benjamin Netanyahu in his illegal war against Iran?

The epicenter of that earthquake was at least 250 km away from both Natanz and Fordaw, no nuclear facilities near. It would also be a pretty dumb spot for a nuclear bomb test... Iran is one of the most earthquake-prone nations in the world, situated on the geologically active Alpine-Himalayan seismic belt.

Starmer's Crackdown: Dissent Silenced to Defend Israel

Keir Starmer is allegedly preparing to proscribe a pro-Palestine protest group, not for our national interest, but for Israel's.

Right, so when is a terrorist not a terrorist? Apparently, when they’re dropping bombs on hospitals, flattening refugee camps, or starving entire civilian populations into submission. But toss a tin of red paint onto a military jet in protest—and suddenly, you’re public enemy number one.

Welcome to Britain in 2025, where protesting a genocide gets you branded a terrorist, and enabling one gets you a seat at the Cabinet table. This is the latest chapter in the twisted logic of Keir Starmer’s Labour government, which is now seeking to proscribe the protest group Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation—not for planting bombs or threatening civilians, but for vandalising two planes with red paint at RAF Brize Norton and escaping on e-scooters.

Under the Starmer regime, acts of political protest is now being equated with jihadist terror. Meanwhile, the UK continues to train Israeli soldiers, arm Israeli jets, and fly surveillance missions over Gaza for the IDF—all while maintaining our customary stiff upper lip and insisting this is about national security and Israel’s right to defend itself.

The message it seems could not be clearer: protest the slaughter of Palestinians, and you’re a terrorist. Assist the state in committing that slaughter and you're a patriot. But a patriot to who, because its not Britain is it?

Iranian flags flown in large pro-Palestinian rally in London

Marchers in a huge pro-Palestinian rally in London waved Iranian flags, as they called urgent aid to be sent to Gaza and for Israel to stop bombing Iran.

Thousands of people took part in the march through central London, which ended with speeches in Whitehall from figures including independent MP Jeremy Corbyn, former leader of the governing Labour party, and pop singer Paloma Faith.

Independent MP Zarah Sultana told the crowd: “This isn’t complicated, it’s not a conflict, it’s not self defence. It is colonisation, it is domination, it is genocide.”

Nuclear complex in Isfahan has been targeted again: IAEA

A large nuclear complex in Isfahan has been targeted for a second time during Israel’s attacks on Iran over the past nine days, Rafael Grossi, the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), has said.

The IAEA said in a statement that the site in central Iran was first hit on 13 June when four buildings were damaged: the central chemical laboratory, a uranium conversion facility, a reactor fuel manufacturing plant and an enriched uranium metal processing facility under construction.

It stated that six other buildings at the same site have also been attacked: a natural and depleted uranium metal production facility that had not yet begun operations, a fuel rod production facility, as well as several other buildings.

The facilities targeted today either contained no nuclear material or small quantities of natural or low-enriched uranium, meaning any radioactive contamination is limited to the buildings that were damaged or destroyed, it said.

“Based on our analysis of the nuclear material present, we don’t see any risk of off-site contamination”, Grossi was quoted in the statement as saying.

Thousands gather in Iraqi capital to show solidarity with Iran

Inspired by a recent call from the highest religious authority in the country, the march called on the Iraqi government to prevent Israel and its allies from using Iraqi airspace and soil to attack Iraq’s neighbours.

This comes amid escalating regional tensions and recent U.S threats against Iran’s leadership.

“We support the stance of our grand leader. We totally reject arrogance and aggression. We will win by God’s willing, not only in Iran but in Palestine, Gaza, Lebanon and Syria”, one protester told Al Jazeera.

“We call on other Arab and Muslim states to reject the aggression on the Islamic Republic of Iran. Where are they [during] this campaign against a Muslim nation? The Iranians are our neighbours and we stand by them”, said Haytham Al-Juburi, a Baghdad resident, whom we also spoke to.

Iran says ‘no danger’ to Iranians living near Fordow

The Crisis Management Headquarters in the province of Qom, where Fordow is located, has issued a statement saying that “there is no danger to the people of Qom and the surrounding area”.

The statement, carried by the IRNA news agency, comes after Trump said Iran’s nuclear sites have been “obliterated”.  Earlier, another official said Fordow has “long been evacuated and has not suffered any irreversible damage”.

Manan Raisi, who represents the Qom area where Fordow is located, says the attack on the underground nuclear site was “superficial”. “Based on accurate information, I state that contrary to the claims of the lying US president, the Fordow nuclear facility has not been seriously damaged, and most of what was damaged was only on the ground, which can be restored,” Raisi said, according to the Tasnim news agency.

Iranian atomic energy body says no contamination recorded

The Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has said that radiation system data and field surveys do not show signs of contamination or danger to residents near the sites of Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz.

“Announcement from the Nuclear Safety System Center. Following the illegal US attack on the Fordow, Natanz, and Isfahan nuclear sites, field surveys and radiation systems data showed: No contamination recorded,” the organisation said in a social media post.

“There is no danger to residents around these sites. Safety is in a stable state.”

Satellite images show unusual activity at Fordow days before US attack

High-quality satellite images taken on June 19 and June 20 show unusual activity involving trucks and vehicles near the entrance to the underground fuel enrichment facility at Fordow.

The images captured by Maxar show a group of 16 cargo trucks positioned along the access road leading to the tunnel entrance of the facility. The majority of these trucks were later relocated roughly 1km (0.6 miles) northwest of the road leading to the facility.

The visuals also depict additional trucks and several bulldozers near the site’s main entrance, including one truck positioned directly adjacent to the primary tunnel entrance.
