US citizens flee Iran, Israel​


Hundreds of US citizens have departed Iran using land routes over the past week as the conflict between Israel and Iran escalates, according to an internal State Department cable seen by the Reuters news agency.
While many left without problem, “numerous” citizens had faced “delays and harassment” while trying to exit the country, the cable said. One family had reported that two US citizens attempting to leave Iran had been detained.
The US and Iran do not have diplomatic ties, complicating any evacuation efforts.
Meanwhile, the US evacuated 79 staff and family members from the US embassy in Israel on Friday, according to a State Department memo obtained by The Associated Press.

Does Iran have the infrastructure to house and maintain a nuclear bomb if they were lended one similarly to how Italy is in possession of nuclear weapons that they do not own? :jbhmm:
Iran allegedly bought a couple nukes in Kazakhstan after the fall of the USSR…

Israel claims second IRGC drone warfare commander killed​


Israel’s military said it has killed a second commander in the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) unit in the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).
In a statement shared on social media, the Israeli military said Air Forces warplanes targeted the commander – referred to by the Israelis as Amin Pour Jodkhi – whom it accused of overseeing the launch of “hundreds” of UAV drones towards Israel from southwest Iran.
The Israeli military said it had earlier assassinated Tahar Fur, another commander of the IRGC’s drone force, on June 13 , and Jodkhi had “assumed a central role in the command’s operations” since then.

A simple visual guide to Iran and its people​


Iran’s history spans millennia, making it one of the world’s most ancient and culturally rich nations, continuously inhabited and influential throughout history.
It is 17th-largest country in the world by population and land area, with a population of 92 million. Most of Iran’s 92 million people live in the western half of the country, where the terrain features rugged mountains alongside fertile valleys and river basins that sustain much of the population.
Iran is also a highly diverse country, both ethnically and culturally. Persians make up approximately 61 percent of the population, while significant minority groups include Azerbaijanis (16 percent), Kurds (10 percent) and others, such as Lurs (6 percent), Arabs (2 percent), Baloch (2 percent) and Turkic groups (2 percent).
