Is the 12-day Israel-Iran war really over – and who gained what?

A Trump-brokered ceasefire is in place for now. But what really happened – and did any side emerge stronger from the conflict?

By John T Psaropoulos Published On 24 Jun 202524 Jun 2025 Since Sunday, Israel and Iran have lurched from escalating war to fragile ceasefire. A truce seems to be holding, and what US President Donald Trump called “The 12 Day War” between Israel and Iran seems to be over – for now. Meanwhile, Trump, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Iran’s leaders have all claimed that the pause in the conflict happened on their terms. Continue reading

The U.S.-Israeli War of Aggression Against Iran

In a rare interview following her firing by Yale, blacklisted Iranian scholar Helyeh Doutaghi discusses the U.S.-Israeli agenda and how Iran will confront the possibility of a wider war.

Jeremy Scahill Jun 24, 2025 It has been ten days since Israel launched an unprovoked campaign of sustained bombing against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Hundreds of Iranian civilians have been killed as Israel assassinated dozens of military and intelligence leaders, including commanders of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, as well as nuclear scientists and other technical experts. In some cases, these assassinations have been conducted in crowded residential buildings. Israel has also attacked medical sites, ambulances, and civilian neighborhoods, intensifying its attacks on Tehran on Monday. Estimates range from 400 to 900 Iranians killed and well over 3,000 injured. Iran’s Red Crescent and regional civil defense organizations estimate that more than 40,000 people have been displaced since the bombing began.

The real reasons for the US-Israeli war on Iran, explained

In its war on Iran, the US empire seeks to impose hegemony in West Asia (Middle East), destroy Axis of Resistance, colonize Palestine, overturn Iranian Revolution, preserve petrodollar, divide BRICS

Ben Norton Jun 19, 2025 The United States and Israel are jointly waging war on Iran, but why? What are their real goals? What the US empire would like to accomplish is the following: Maintain US hegemony in West Asia (aka the Middle East) Destroy the anti-colonial Axis of Resistance, making possible the total colonization of Palestine Prevent Iran from ever developing nuclear capabilities Overthrow or at least weaken Iran’s independent, revolutionary government Scare other countries in the region that may seek to move away from the US and the dollar (especially the Gulf monarchies) Preserve the petrodollar system, ensuring global demand for the US dollar Destabilize BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, divide the Global South, and disrupt the multipolar project Break up the Iran-Russia-China partnership, with the ultimate goal of isolating Beijing That said, it is of course by no means guaranteed that these goals will be achieved.

The US, Great Britain and France at War with Israel against Iran

By Manlio Dinucci Global Research, June 23, 2025 On 16 June, President Trump announced that he would not be signing any joint statement on Israel and Iran at the G7 Summit in Canada. The following day, 17 June, he signed the “G7 leaders’ statement on recent developments between Israel and Iran”. This official text was agreed by the United States, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the European Union. “We, the G7 leaders, reaffirm our commitment to peace and stability in the Middle East. In this context, we affirm that Israel has the right to defend itself. We reaffirm our support for Israel’s security. We also affirm the importance of protecting civilians. Iran is the main source of regional instability and terrorism. We have always made it clear that Iran can never possess nuclear weapons. We call for the resolution of the Iranian crisis to lead to broader de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza. We will remain vigilant about the implications for international energy markets and stand ready to coordinate with like-minded partners to safeguard market stability.” Immediately afterwards, Trump presented himself as a “mediator” between Israel and Iran. He officially reiterated that “Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.” He also demanded Iran’s “unconditional surrender.“ Contnue reading

Rare Earth Game Behind the Conflict between Israel and Iran

The Israel-Iran conflict escalates as U.S. considers intervention, with rare earths and geopolitical strategy at the heart of the turmoil.

The conflict between Israel and Iran has been going on for many days since it began on June 13. The conflict has now evolved into a bombardment mode, with Israeli fighter jets firing missiles into Iran and Iran firing missiles into Israel. In other words, the Israel-Iran war has evolved into a war of attrition. According to the latest news, US President Trump is ready to order an attack on Iran. The US intervention in the war does not change the nature of the war of attrition. Why? The purpose of the United States‘ intervention in the war is obviously to overthrow the Islamic regime in Iran.

Der Stellvertreterkrieg des Westens gegen die BRICS-Staaten: Ist Israel der neue Sheriff? Israel greift Iran an: BRICS-Energiekrieg aufgedeckt! Der westliche Stellvertreterkrieg gegen eine multipolare Welt wurde durch die verheerenden Angriffe auf Atomanlagen am 13. Juni offengelegt. Diese brisante Analyse enthüllt, dass Israels Iran-Angriff weit mehr als nur regionale Sicherheitsbedenken darstellt – es ist ein Wirtschaftskrieg gegen die Energiedominanz der BRICS. Wir enthüllen den Stellvertreterkrieg zwischen der schwindenden westlichen Finanzdominanz und der entstehenden multipolaren Welt und zeigen, wie die Integration des Iran in die BRICS das Petrodollar-System bedroht, das seit 50 Jahren die globale Ordnung verankert. Entdecken Sie, warum Iran mit seinen 163 Milliarden Barrel Ölreserven und 12 % des weltweiten Erdgases das Energiejuwel der BRICS-Staaten ist. Erfahren Sie, wie die erweiterte BRICS-Allianz nun 42 % der weltweiten Ölversorgung kontrolliert und damit die Dedollarisierungsbemühungen vorantreibt, die die westlichen Mächte in Angst und Schrecken versetzen. Wir analysieren die koordinierte Strategie des israelischen Angriffs auf den Iran, enthüllen Donald Trumps Rolle und die verheerenden Auswirkungen auf eurasische Integrationsprojekte wie das INSTC. Erfahren Sie mehr über die Kontroversen um das iranische Atomprogramm, den Verrat der IAEA und warum die Straße von Hormus der Schlüssel zur globalen wirtschaftlichen Stabilität ist. Erfahren Sie, wie die SCO diese Angriffe als Verstöße gegen das Völkerrecht verurteilte und warum Sanktionen gegen den Iran spektakulär nach hinten losgehen könnten. Dies ist nicht nur ein Nahostkonflikt – es ist eine globale Machtverschiebung, die einen Dritten Weltkrieg auslösen oder den Aufstieg der multipolaren Welt zementieren könnte. Aus der Perspektive von Think BRICS untersuchen wir, ob dieser Stellvertreterkonflikt den verzweifelten Versuch des Westens darstellt, seine Hegemonie gegen die BRICS-Energiekooperation zwischen Russland, China und dem Iran aufrechtzuerhalten. Diese Analyse untersucht nicht die innenpolitischen Motivationen Israels, die detaillierten militärischen Taktiken im Iran-Israel-Krieg oder umfassende regionale Sicherheitsvereinbarungen über den BRICS-Kontext hinaus. Wir behandeln weder die bilaterale diplomatische Geschichte des Iran-Israel-Konflikts, die interne politische Dynamik des Irans noch alternative Interpretationen der Streitigkeiten um das Atomprogramm. Das Video analysiert weder andere Konflikte im Nahen Osten, die nicht mit BRICS in Zusammenhang stehen, insbesondere die technischen Verfahren der IAEO oder detaillierte Wirtschaftsdaten zu den Iran-Sanktionen, abgesehen von deren Auswirkungen auf die De-Dollarisierungstrends und die Dynamik der globalen Machtverschiebung, die die entstehende multipolare Weltordnung beeinflusst. 00:00 – Israels Angriffe auf den Iran signalisieren einen neuen globalen Konflikt gegen BRICS. 01:50 – Irans Energieressourcen sind angesichts westlicher Sanktionen von entscheidender Bedeutung für BRICS. 02:53 – Irans BRICS-Mitgliedschaft verschiebt die globale Öldynamik gegenüber dem US-Dollar. 04:07 – Die koordinierte Angriffsstrategie der USA und Israels gegen den Iran im Zuge der BRICS-Integration. 06:00 – Israelische Angriffe zielen auf den Iran und stören die Energieintegration der BRICS. 07:05 – BRICS fehlt militärische Unterstützung, wodurch das Risiko besteht, durch westliche Aktionen angreifbar zu sein. 08:24 – BRICS strebt eine Neugestaltung der globalen Energieversorgung an und fordert die westliche Dominanz durch Stellvertreterkriege heraus.

Israel cannot dictate the future of the Middle East | David Hearst | MEE Opinion 25.06.2025 David Hearst, editor-in-chief of Middle East Eye, says Israel’s blitz on Iran has collapsed into a strategic defeat. In 12 days, none of Israel’s war aims were achieved. Trump claimed Iran’s nuclear programme had been obliterated, but US intelligence quickly contradicted him. Iran’s core infrastructure survived, and key materials were moved before the strikes. Iran may have already built deeper facilities elsewhere. Israel also failed to destroy Iran’s missile arsenal. After Trump declared a ceasefire, Iran launched new waves of attacks, hitting Beersheba and strategic sites across Israel. The damage was greater than anything Hamas or Hezbollah had inflicted. Hearst says Iran did not need to win outright. It only needed to keep fighting. Its missile strikes pinned Israeli civilians in shelters, drained missile defences, and exposed Israel’s limits. The quick victory Netanyahu sought never came. Iran’s ability to stand firm has shifted the balance. He argues this was never about ending a nuclear weapons programme. It was a clash between two worldviews: one that insists Israel must dominate the region, and one that resists occupation. Hearst concludes that Netanyahu’s long project to destroy Iran may have gone too far. Israel has exposed its population to a new kind of war and gained little in return. The result is not dominance, but danger.

Israelis have suddenly discovered that bombing hospitals is wrong

This is awkward…

Deeply distressing scenes are coming out of Tel Aviv as Israel’s second city starts to closely resemble Gaza. The hypersonic missiles have arrived and all the fantasies of Iran running low on missiles seem a tiny bit delusional. Unfortunately, we don’t do journalism in the west so we shared Israel’s delusions with you as fact. We wanted you to believe this will be one of those straightforward Middle Eastern wars that always work out so well… like you are a fucking goldfish. Sadly, things are not going so well… Iran has unveiled giant invisible space missiles that rain down multiple smaller missiles at hypersonic speed, and those primitive desert dwellers weren’t supposed to be capable of this sort of thing!

Der judenstaat grift den iran an und geht nun betteln

Interessant ist aber, dass in diesem Aufruf zur Solidariteat deutlich wird, wie sehr der Iran nach dem voelkerrechtswidrigen israelichen Angriff im Gegenschlag mit seinen Raketen die Infrastruktur Israels trifft, aber auch die Zivilbevoelkerung in Mitleidenschaft zieht, obwohl die Menschen in Israel sich – ganz im Gegensatz zur iranischen Bevoelkerun – in Luftschutybunker begeben kann.

Assessing the US / Israel regime change plan for Iran

Comparisons from similar campaigns in the region

The Anti Empire Project Jun 20, 2025 US naval assets are moving in. US bases within striking distance of Iran are being evacuated. Trump has signaled his willingness to ridicule his biggest supporters and contradict his own intelligence director to do Israel’s bidding. All of this adds up to: it is extremely likely that the US will very soon be attacking Iran on Israel’s behalf. The objective of the war is the removal of the Iranian government and its replacement by either a chaotic, perpetual civil war situation (chaos) or a pliant collaborator regime that will allow Israel to keep genociding with impunity (the main priority of the Western elite is genocide now).

Mark H. Gaffney Global Research, 19. Juni 2025 Diese Zusammenfassung ist zeitkritisch. Die Lage vor Ort ändert sich täglich, ja sogar stündlich. Die Dinge entwickeln sich ständig weiter. Trotzdem glaube ich, dass der Ausgang so gut wie ausgemacht ist. Obwohl die Weltpresse von der Atomfrage besessen ist, ist dies ein Ablenkungsmanöver. Der Iran hat nie Atomwaffen entwickelt, will sie nicht und braucht sie auch nicht, um Israel zu besiegen. In den letzten Tagen haben zahlreiche israelische Analysten im Internet über Israels Überraschungsangriff und die schockierende Enthauptung iranischer Beamter und Militärführer gejubelt. Sie behaupten, ein Regimewechsel stehe unmittelbar bevor, und prahlen damit, dass die laufende Luftkampagne der israelischen Luftwaffe (IAF) im Iran nur noch wenige Stunden von ihrem Abschluss entfernt sei („Iran das Rückgrat brechen“, wie es einer formulierte). Trump wiederholte diese Behauptungen und postete kürzlich: „Wir (die USA und Israel) haben jetzt die Kontrolle über den Luftraum über dem Iran.“ Dann rastete Trump aus und drohte dem obersten Führer des Iran,  Ali Khamenei, mit einem Attentat. Doch all diese Analysten (und Trump) machen den Fehler, ihrer eigenen Propaganda Glauben zu schenken. Sie sind ihren Erwartungen voraus. Videoaufnahmen aus Teheran zeigten heute Morgen, dass die Iraner zumindest einen Teil ihrer Luftabwehr wiederhergestellt haben. Und im weiteren Verlauf des Krieges ist es wahrscheinlich, dass die Iraner ihre Luftabwehr weiterhin erheblich ausbauen werden, wenn nötig immer wieder. Wir haben im Ukraine-Krieg zahlreiche Beweise dafür gesehen. Der israelische Anspruch auf absolute Lufthoheit, den unser Präsident lauthals verkündet, ist falsch.  Continue reading

Der Stellvertreterkrieg zwischen Israel und den USA für einen Regimewechsel im Iran

Dr. Dan SteinbockGlobal Research, 20. Juni 2025Clarity Press, Inc. Bei der Offensive der Israel/USA gegen den Iran geht es nicht um Atomwaffen. Es geht um einen weiteren ungerechtfertigten Stellvertreterkrieg. Ihr Ziel ist die Wiederherstellung des Irans vor 1979. Erst vor wenigen Tagen bekräftigte Präsident Trump, dass der Iran niemals über Atomwaffen verfügen werde. Doch US-Geheimdiensteinschätzungen zufolge  wäre es bis zu drei Jahre her , dass der Iran in der Lage wäre, eine Atomwaffe zu produzieren und einzusetzen. Während Israel seine Kriegsvorbereitungen aufbaute,  akzeptierten die USA sie nicht . Das Problem ist, dass Trump sie tat. Dabei verwandelte sich ein fehlgeleitetes Konzept der nationalen Sicherheit Israels in eine noch verzerrtere Sicht der nationalen Sicherheit der USA. Ironischerweise ist der Iran Mitglied des Atomwaffensperrvertrags (NPT), den Israel ablehnt. Erst vor wenigen Tagen veröffentlichten die Staats- und Regierungschefs der  G7-Staaten eine gemeinsame Erklärung, in der sie erklärten, der Iran solle keine Atomwaffen besitzen, und Israels Recht auf Selbstverteidigung bekräftigten. Nach dem 7. Oktober 2023 griffen diese Länder auf ein ähnliches Argument zurück und ebneten damit den Weg für Israels Völkermord im Gazastreifen und die ethnischen Säuberungen im Westjordanland. Continue reading

In the White House, regime change in Iran is seen as tempting, due to Iran’s huge regional economic and geopolitical importance. Connecting the Persian Gulf with the Arabian Sea, the Strait of Hormuz, is one of the world’s mostimportant oil chokepoints. Flows through the Strait make up over one-quarter of global seaborne traded oil. In addition, one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) trade transits the Strait annually. It is Iran’s insurance. Iran is also the OPEC’s fourth-largest crude oil producer and the world’s third-largest dry natural gas producer. Most importantly, it holds some of the world’s largest deposits of proved oil and natural gas reserves. It is these lucrative resources that have paced the West’s external interventions in the country for a century (Figure 2).

Dire, Direr and Direst Scenarios Three years ago, the escalation of the proxy war in Ukraine drove Brent oil prices to record levels. Except for a brief spike amid Israel’s Gaza offensive, oil prices had halved from $120 to $60 in early May, even as gold continues to soar. In the past week, Israel’s attacks against Iran fueled the prices up to $77 (Figure 3).

Israel’s Military Attack Against Iran: A Preliminary Assessment and Likely Scenarios

Key Takeaways

The confrontation is expected to last for several weeks – possibly two or three– as Israel attempts to destroy as much as possible of Iran’s conventional military and nuclear capabilities and weaken the Iranian regime. However, Israeli officials are concerned about the risks of a prolonged conflict devolving into a war of attrition, as well as the potential erosion of domestic support due to war fatigue.Israel’s large-scale attack on Iran, launched with an initial strike on June 13, appears aimed at achieving three main objectives: to significantly degrade Iran’s nuclear program and delay its progress by years; dismantle its missile capabilities; and to destabilize the Iranian regime in hopes of facilitating its overthrow – drawing on parallels with the Syrian scenario.It is clear that the Israeli attack has received a US green light and is being conducted in full coordination with Washington, which aims to force Tehran to sign a nuclear agreement on American terms. Meanwhile, Israel seeks to draw the US into the war, or at least involve it in completely destroying the Iranian nuclear program.

Israel and Palestine Studies Unit|19 Jun 2025 On the morning of June 13, 2025, Israel launched a large-scale attack on Iran, targeting nuclear and military facilities. The initial strike included the assassination of senior military commanders and prominent nuclear scientists. It was carried out through a coordinated air assault – reportedly involving approximately 200 fighter jets hitting 100 targets – alongside intelligence operations conducted by the Mossad inside Iranian territory. Subsequent Israeli airstrikes extended across various locations in Iran, Continue reading

Iran und Israel: Geschichte einer Erzfeindschaft

Schon seit Jahren bekämpfen sich Israel und der Iran im Verborgenen. Nach dem israelischen Angriff auf das iranische Atomprogramm droht nun ein offener Krieg der beiden stärksten Militärmächte der Region. Woher rührt die Erzfeindschaft?

14.06.2025 Israel und Iran als Verbündete? Was heute kaum vorstellbar ist, war einst Realität. Iran war nach der Türkei im März 1950 das zweite muslimische Land, das Israel offiziell anerkannte. Unter der Herrschaft des Schahs Mohammad Reza Pahlavi arbeiteten Israel und Iran zusammen. Sie entwickelten Kooperationsprojekte in der Infrastruktur- oder Landwirtschaftspolitik. Israelische Spezialisten bildeten iranische Sicherheitskräfte und Geheimdienstmitarbeiter aus. Das ist lange her. In der Nacht zum 13. Juni 2025 hat Israel den Iran angegriffen – mit der Begründung, dass der Iran laut Geheimdienstinformationen bei der Entwicklung einer Atombombe kurz vor einem „point of no return“ gestanden habe. Der Iran wertete den Angriff als Kriegserklärung. Von Verbündeten zu Kriegsgegnern, wie ist die Feindschaft zwischen Israel und dem Iran entstanden? Inhalt Wie hat sich die Feindschaft zwischen Iran und Israel entwickelt? Wie wird der Konflikt zwischen Iran und Israel seit Jahrzehnten ausgetragen? Wie steht die Bevölkerung beider Länder diesem Konflikt gegenüber?

The War on Terrorism Is Fabricated. “Iran is the next phase of this war.”

Michel Chossudovsky

Schrieb dies am 20. Juni 2025

Presentation to the Kuala Lumpur Conference, Perdana Global Peace Foundation Forum Michel Chossudovsky confirms with foresight in his December 2006 presentation: “Iran is the next phase of this war. This is not a rhetorical question, it has been confirmed by military documents and press reports. (…) In this particular case and it’s also an important landmark, Israel is slated to play a direct role in the bombing campaign so that we are evolving from an Anglo-American military operation –which is based on the integration of American and British interests in the oil industry as well as in the military industrial complex— to the participation of Israel directly in a military operation directed against Iran. I’m not suggesting that the bombing will necessarily take place or when it will take place. But it is part of the process of military planning and at this stage the military Alliance is in a state of Readiness and Israel is slated to play a major role in this military operation.

Why the hell are western fighter jets defending a genocidal ethnostate like Israel?

This getting scarily out of hand

Ricky Hale and Council Estate Media Jun 13, 2025 Early this morning, Israel launched totally unnecessary attacks across Iran, and while the media is reporting that these “pre-emptive strikes” targeted nuclear facilities, images are emerging of bombed apartment buildings and mutilated children.

Speaking on Wednesday morning to reporters at the White House, in response to a question about whether the U.S. was preparing its own strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities in support of Israel, President Trump replied, “I may do it, I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I’m going to do.” Continue reading

Israel Attacks Iran – Consequences? The Turning of the Tables

Peter Koenig [This article by Peter Koenig was first published on Global Research. You may read it here.] It all started in the early morning hours of 13 June 2025, with what Israel calls “Operation Rising Lion”. Israel’s Air Force launched dozens of air strikes against Iran, targeting its nuclear [energy] program. According to BBC, in Iran’s own words, this is the biggest assault on Iran’s territory since the Iran-Iraq War of 1980-1988. Iran has no nuclear weapons program, as confirmed multiple times by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), belonging to the UN system. However, after a 2024 inspection, the IAEA apparently reported enrichment to about 60%. This is not enough to make an atomic bomb, requiring at least 90%. But for Israel which has a nuclear warheads arsenal of several hundred, this justified an unprecedented attack on Iran – a clear declaration of war. Israel’s nuclear bomb stockpile is outside of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Agreement, all quietly tolerated by the west led by the United States. Only with the explicit backing of the White House, Israel would dare such an assault on a country with a military power that could by far exceed that of Israel. As these lines are written, the situation on the Israel-Iran war is constantly changing. The latest state of affairs is that within the last 48 hours the tables have turned by 180 degrees.
