Mossad to Tehran: we already know your ‘secret' war commander
'We know exactly who he is and know him well. Unfortunately, such basic information is hidden from the Iranian people. Please send us your guesses about his name.' Israel's Mossad intensified its online campaign against Tehran on Tuesday, seizing on a Tasnim News Agency report that the Islamic Republic would not reveal the name of the newly appointed commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters and declaring on its Persian-language X account: 'We know exactly who he is and know him well. Unfortunately, such basic information is hidden from the Iranian people. Please send us your guesses about his name.' The Khatam al-Anbiya post—Mossad's second major tweet of the day—came minutes after Tasnim said the regime was withholding the commander's identity 'for his protection' following the killings of his two predecessors in Israeli strikes last month. Earlier on Tuesday, the same Mossad account asserted that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had 'surrendered' and approved negotiations with both the United States and Israel, calling the move 'the beginning of the end of the Islamic Republic' and proclaiming that 'the countdown has begun.' The twin messages are the latest salvoes in a Farsi-language influence campaign Mossad launched last month. Initial posts mocked senior Iranian officials for secretly following the feed, offered VPN tips, and warned ordinary Iranians not to like or share content to avoid detection by security services. Iranian officials haven't acknowledged appointing a successor to the slain Maj.-Gen. Ali Shadmani. Khamenei, 86, last appeared on state television on June 26, vowing that Iran would 'never surrender,' a stance starkly at odds with Mossad's earlier claim.

Iran warns of broad military response against US
Shafaq News/ Iran's armed forces warned on Monday of a possible large-scale military response against the United States, accusing Washington of direct involvement in recent airstrikes that targeted sites inside the Islamic Republic. In a video statement broadcast by Iranian media, a spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, affiliated with Iran's armed forces, said the United States had 'brazenly violated' Iran's sovereignty by backing and participating in attacks linked to Israel. 'The criminal United States, through its comprehensive support for the aggression of the Zionist entity [Israel], has directly engaged in the war against Iran by attacking its soil,' the spokesperson said. The statement described the strikes as an attempt to 'revive a dying Israeli regime,' and warned that the operation would only expand Iran's list of 'legitimate and diverse targets' and escalate the conflict in the region. 'The clock will no longer move in Washington's favor,' the spokesperson added, warning of 'powerful and concentrated operations' by what he called the 'Mujahideen of Islam,' with consequences that would be 'severe, painful, and unpredictable.' Separately, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, echoed the warning, saying the US had opened the door to Iranian retaliation by violating Iranian sovereignty through its latest attacks. In remarks reported by the semi-official Tasnim news agency, Bagheri stated that continued American support for Israel amounted to entering a war against Iran. 'The criminal United States must understand that it has empowered the Mujahideen of Islam within the armed forces to take any action against its interests and military forces,' he said, adding that 'Iran will not retreat under any circumstances.'

Israel's strikes against Tehran broaden as Trump issues ominous warning
'Iran can not have a nuclear weapon,' Mr Trump wrote on Monday night before returning to Washington early from a G7 summit in Canada. 'Everyone should immediately evacuate Tehran!' he added. Mr Trump later denied he had rushed back to work on a ceasefire, telling reporters on Air Force One during the flight back to Washington: 'I'm not looking at a ceasefire. We're looking at better than a ceasefire.' Asked why he had urged for the evacuation of Tehran, he said: 'I just want people to be safe.' Earlier, the Israeli military had called for some 330,000 residents of a neighbourhood in downtown Tehran to evacuate. Tehran is one of the largest cities in the Middle East, with around 10 million people, roughly equivalent to the entire population of Israel. People have been fleeing since the hostilities began. Israel says its sweeping assault on Iran's top military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment sites and ballistic missile programme is necessary to prevent its long-time adversary from getting any closer to building an atomic weapon. The strikes have killed at least 224 people in Iran and wounded 1,277 since Friday. Iran has retaliated by launching more than 370 missiles and hundreds of drones at Israel. So far, 24 people have been killed in Israel and more than 500 wounded. The Israeli military said a new barrage of missiles was launched on Tuesday, and explosions could be heard in northern Israel. Downtown Tehran appeared to be emptying out early Tuesday, with many shops closed. The ancient Grand Bazaar was also closed, something that only happened in the past during anti-government demonstrations or at the height of the coronavirus pandemic. On the roads out of Tehran to the west, traffic stood bumper to bumper. Many appeared to be heading to the Caspian Sea area. Long lines also could be seen at petrol stations in Tehran, with printed placards and boards calling for a 'severe' response to Israel visible across the city. Authorities cancelled leave for doctors and nurses as the attacks continue, but insisted everything was under control and did not offer any guidance for the public on what to do. The Israeli military meanwhile claimed to have killed someone it described as Iran's top general in a strike on Tehran. Iran did not immediately comment on the reported killing of Gen Ali Shadmani, who had just been named as the head of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, part of the paramilitary Revolutionary Guard. Iran has named other generals to replace the top leaders of the guard and the regular armed forces after they were killed in earlier strikes. Before leaving the summit in Canada, Mr Trump joined the other leaders in a joint statement saying Iran 'can never have a nuclear weapon' and calling for a 'de-escalation of hostilities in the Middle East, including a ceasefire in Gaza'. French President Emmanuel Macron told reporters that discussions were under way on a ceasefire between Israel and Iran, but Mr Trump appeared to shoot that down in his comments on social media. Mr Macron 'mistakenly said that I left the G7 Summit, in Canada, to go back to D.C. to work on a 'cease fire' between Israel and Iran,' Mr Trump wrote. 'Wrong! He has no idea why I am now on my way to Washington, but it certainly has nothing to do with a Cease Fire. Much bigger than that.' Meanwhile, US defence secretary Pete Hegseth headed to the White House situation room to meet the president and his national security team. Mr Hegseth did not provide details on what prompted the meeting but said on Fox News late Monday that the movements were to 'ensure that our people are safe'. Mr Trump said he was not ready to give up on diplomatic talks, and could send vice president JD Vance and special envoy Steve Witkoff to meet the Iranians. 'I may,' he said. 'It depends on what happens when I get back.' Israeli military spokesperson Brig Gen Effie Defrin said on Monday his country's forces had 'achieved full aerial superiority over Tehran's skies'. The military said it destroyed more than 120 surface-to-surface missile launchers in central Iran, a third of Iran's total, including multiple launchers just before they launched ballistic missiles towards Israel. It also destroyed two F-14 fighter planes that Iran used to target Israeli aircraft, the military said. Israeli military officials also said fighter jets had struck 10 command centres in Tehran belonging to Iran's Quds Force, an elite arm of its paramilitary Revolutionary Guard that conducts military and intelligence operations outside Iran. Israel's military issued an evacuation warning for a part of central Tehran that houses state TV and police headquarters, as well as three large hospitals, including one owned by the guard. It has issued similar evacuation warnings for parts of the Gaza Strip and Lebanon ahead of strikes. On Monday, an Israeli strike hit the headquarters of Iran's state-run TV station, sending a television anchor fleeing her studio during a live broadcast. The Israeli military said on Tuesday it had hit the station because 'the broadcast channel was used to spread anti-Israel propaganda'. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the Israeli strikes have set Iran's nuclear programme back a 'very, very long time', and told reporters he is in daily contact with Mr Trump. Iran maintains its nuclear programme is peaceful.
