❗️Iran’s FM defends precision strike near Israeli hospital, blames Tel Aviv for endangering civilians

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi defended today’s missile strike near Soroka hospital in Beersheba, asserting that it accurately targeted a military and intelligence facility used by Israeli forces. He emphasized that the strike caused only “superficial damage to a small section” of the hospital, which he said had been “largely evacuated” and was “primarily treating Israeli soldiers involved in the Gaza war.”

“Our Armed Forces struck a legitimate military target. If the Israeli regime chooses to embed its war operations within civilian infrastructure, it alone bears responsibility for any resulting damage,” Araghchi said. “We will continue to pummel the aggressors until they cease their crimes against our people.”

He further urged Israeli civilians to distance themselves from military installations, blaming Tel Aviv’s long-standing tactic of using civilian sites for military purposes.

Earlier, Soroka hospital’s Director General Shlomi Kodesh confirmed that a missile hit an older surgical ward, causing “widespread damage” and light injuries. Images from the scene show shattered windows and debris across parts of the complex.

Flashback: “We Know Where Your Kids Live”: How John Bolton Once Threatened An International Official

WHO BETTER TO advise the bully-in-chief, Donald Trump, on when to make war and kill people than another bully? It’s difficult, after all, to avoid the label — that of a bully — when thinking of John Bolton, the former Bush administration official-turned-Fox News pundit who Trump recently picked as his national security adviser.

“John Bolton is a bully,” José Bustani, the retired Brazilian diplomat and former head of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, told me when I reached him by phone in Paris earlier this month.

There are a number of people who claim to have been bullied or intimidated by Bolton — including Bustani. The latter’s criticisms of the famously mustachioed hawk have been public for many years now, but some of the details of his tense encounter with Bolton at the OPCW have never been reported before in English.

In early 2002, a year before the invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration was putting intense pressure on Bustani to quit as director-general of the OPCW — despite the fact that he had been unanimously re-elected to head the 145-nation body just two years earlier. His transgression? Negotiating with Saddam Hussein’s Iraq to allow OPCW weapons inspectors to make unannounced visits to that country — thereby undermining Washington’s rationale for regime change.

In 2001, then-Secretary of State Colin Powell had penned a letter to Bustani, thanking him for his “very impressive” work. By March 2002, however, Bolton — then serving as under secretary of state for Arms Control and International Security Affairs — arrived in person at the OPCW headquarters in the Hague to issue a warning to the organization’s chief. And, according to Bustani, Bolton didn’t mince words. “Cheney wants you out,” Bustani recalled Bolton saying, referring to the then-vice president of the United States. “We can’t accept your management style.”

Bolton continued, according to Bustani’s recollections: “You have 24 hours to leave the organization, and if you don’t comply with this decision by Washington, we have ways to retaliate against you.”

There was a pause.

“We know where your kids live. You have two sons in New York.”

# Epstein's Trump Administration Connections

The Epstein-Trump nexus represents a classic case of power network entanglement with several key nodes:

**Alexander Acosta Connection**: Trump's Labor Secretary (2017-2019) was the same prosecutor who approved Epstein's controversial 2008 non-prosecution agreement. This "sweetheart deal" allowed Epstein to serve just 13 months in county jail with work release privileges despite serious trafficking allegations. Acosta ultimately resigned in 2019 when this connection became politically untenable.

**Personal History**: Trump and Epstein maintained a decades-long social relationship before Epstein's legal troubles:
- Frequent appearances together at Palm Beach/New York social events
- Documented interactions at Mar-a-Lago, including a 1992 party where they were reportedly the only male guests among dozens of women
- Trump's 2002 quote to New York Magazine: "I've known Jeff for fifteen years... He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side."

**Strategic Distancing**: When Epstein's activities became public liability, Trump claimed they had a falling out and that he banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago - though timing and circumstances remain contested.

This relationship exemplifies how power networks operate across political, financial, and social spheres, with connections maintained until they become political liabilities.

Pakistan breaks ranks, backs Iran in war with Israel

Pakistan reveals that Israeli drone operators attempted to sabotage Pakistan's nuclear facilities during the India-Pakistan crisis in May. This is a major reason why Islamabad is throwing its full weight behind Tehran in the Israel-Iran war.

By F.M. Shakil

📹 VIDEO | Footage from RT shows the extent of the destruction caused by Iran's missile strike at Israel's Weizmann Institute — a site that is not only one of Israel's scientific backbones, but deeply linked to Israel's nuclear and military intelligence infrastructure.

More on the Institute:

– Played a central role in building the scientific and technical foundations of Israel’s nuclear program.

– Ernst David Bergmann, considered the "father of Israel's nuclear program," was affiliated with the Institute.

– Many Dimona reactor scientists were trained or worked at Weizmann.

– Provided research, facilities, and personnel for strategic defense projects.

– Strong historical ties to Unit 8200 and the Talpiot program—Israel’s elite military tech and cyber units.

– A longstanding pipeline of scientific expertise for Israel’s nuclear and intelligence apparatus.

Damage

The Institute estimates the damage from Iran’s missile strike on its main laboratory at 2 billion shekels (~$570 million). The attack severely damaged three major research buildings and partially affected many others, with around 45 laboratories impacted.

The figure reflects only infrastructure losses, and not the immense scientific toll, which includes destroyed rare materials, irreplaceable samples, and years of unfinished research.

Rebuilding will cost tens of millions per lab, with fully equipped buildings reaching up to $100 million each. Scientists describe the losses as catastrophic, with entire wings wiped out and decades of work lost.

“The Department of Agriculture estimates that more than 40% of US farmworkers are undocumented.”
