"A new reality awaits Israel": Iran signals major transformation
According to the spokesperson, Iran has a comprehensive and in-depth database of important Israeli targets, including military installations, intelligence hubs, offices for making decisions, and even the residences of top military officials and scientists. He cautioned citizens from serving as "human shields," stating that "Shelters will not keep Israelis safe."
The official stated in his statements that a number of sensitive locations on Israeli land have already been struck by Iran's recent strikes. Any additional Israeli assault, he stressed, would be faced with a "shocking" and "comprehensive" retaliation that would encompass all of what Iran views as occupied land.
Iran's Mehr News Agency reported the remarks as part of a larger statement that also included scathing criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His government is 'corrupt, criminal, and failing,' according to the Iranian military, which also charged that he started the recent escalation for personal benefit, endangering Israeli lives in the process.
With a promise that retaliation would not be restricted in scope or location, the spokesperson declared, "Iran's armed forces will deliver a crushing and painful response to this child-killing regime."
The declarations come after multiple nights of cross-border assaults in which Iran claimed to have successfully struck vital Israeli infrastructure. Israel has continued its own airstrikes against Iranian assets and has refuted several of Iran's claims.
International observers are concerned about the escalating war because they believe the current military engagements could turn into a wider regional conflict.

Israel destroys massive aid shipments as Gaza faces worsening famine
Published July 25th, 2025 - 10:55 GMT ALBAWABA - As worries about the well-being of people in Gaza grow around the world, the Israeli military is said to have burned tens of thousands of tons of food and medical supplies as a result of what it called "logistical failures" in transport and storage. Military sources told Israel's public station Kan that the burned help was the same amount as what would fit in about 1,000 cars. They said that thousands of aid items had been left out in the sun for long periods of time, which led to the choice to get rid of them. The person said, "We will have to keep destroying the packages if they are not sent to Gaza." The damage happened at a time when there is a severe humanitarian disaster in the Gaza Strip. Reports say that there is a lot of hunger in the area, where more than 2.3 million people are stuck. Some families who have had to leave their homes are eating potato peels to stay alive. The Israeli army said that the help was thrown away because of problems with how it was being distributed in Gaza. But relief groups say that ongoing Israeli limits, military action, and attacks by settlers on supply lines have made it very hard for important aid to get to those who need it. الحرب على غزة مباشر.. إسرائيل تتلف مساعدات للقطاع وقطر ومصر تؤكدان استمرار الوساطة لقراءة المزيد : — صحيفة الانباط اليومية (@alanbatnet1) July 25, 2025 Some crossings, like Kerem Abu Salem (also written as Kerem Shalom) and Erez, are still closed. This could be because of military actions in Rafah or because Israeli settlements are still attacking aid convoys coming from other countries, especially Jordan. Because Israel is bombing, the Rafah border crossing with Egypt is also closed. People around the world are angry about the move, and political leaders and foreign groups are calling on Israel to let emergency aid in without any problems. Cities all over the world have held protests calling for an instant end to the ban on Gaza and the end of the fighting. The UN's Special Rapporteur on the Right to Food, Michael Fakhri, said that condemnations have not worked and that Israel should be punished. Fakhri told Al Jazeera that Israeli forces are blocking aid "in plain sight of the world" and asked Arab countries to keep up the pressure to make sure aid gets to people who need it the most. The destruction of important humanitarian aid is the latest step in a war that has brought Gaza to the edge of failure and sparked calls for immediate action from the rest of the world. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that his government is currently considering "alternative options" to secure the release of captives held in Gaza, in coordination with US allies. Netanyahu claimed in press statements that US Middle East envoy Ariel Witkoff was correct in claiming that Hamas is the main obstacle to reaching a prisoner release agreement. He added that Tel Aviv is working on new strategies aimed at ending Hamas' rule in Gaza while ensuring lasting peace for the 'Israeli' entity and the region, according to his assertions.

Iranian official calls for Trump's assassination, claiming legal and religious justification
ALBAWABA - A well-known Iranian politician caused a stir around the world when he openly called for the killing of former U.S. President Donald Trump, saying that it was both legal and religiously right to do so. The offensive comments were made by Mohammad Javad Larijani, who is currently the head of the Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences and used to be the top official in Iran's court. He said them at a mourning event in Tehran for the victims of a recent Israeli rocket strike. Larijani said that Trump is a "legitimate target" because of what he called "institutional terrorism" in the United States against Iran. He backed up what he said with fatwas from more than 400 preachers that supposedly support the move. Later, in a TV interview, Larijani said it again: "Trump can't lie in the sun at Mar-a-Lago anymore..." It's that easy for a small drone to hit him. People all over the world quickly criticized what he said, and Trump even responded with sarcasm: "I haven't been in the sun since I was seven." "I'm not sure if that was a threat." The comments come at a time when emotions are high between Washington and Tehran. The Iran nuclear deal is still on hold, and battles in the region are getting worse. Analysts say that this kind of talk from high-level officials could lead to more open conflict between the two countries and hurt efforts to mediate diplomatically. Javad Larijani, senior advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader, says that targeting Trump is both legally and religiously justified. He claimed the U.S. has pursued a policy of assassinating political, military, and scientific figures, making retaliation against Trump legitimate. — Open Source Intel (@Osint613) July 25, 2025 Larijani is known for being close to powerful people in Iran. He used to be Iran's spokesman in the court for human rights problems. His latest words show a big change toward stubborn resistance. Some experts see this as a sign that the Iranian government is under more and more pressure from within, and they see it as a move away from negotiation and toward conflict.
