The Supreme Leader will need to touch base with his foreign minister.  “Iranian foreign minister admits serious damage to nuclear sites,” BBC, 6-27-25.  “Iran’s foreign minister has admitted that “excessive and serious” damage was done to the country’s nuclear sites in the recent US and Israeli bombings. Abbas Araghchi told a state broadcaster on Thursday evening that an assessment of the damage is being carried out by the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran. But, just hours earlier, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said the strikes did not disrupt the country’s nuclear programme. Khamenei was responding to US President Donald Trump’s assertion that the bombs had “totally obliterated” three nuclear sites. Khamenei said the US attacks had failed to “accomplish anything significant”. The supreme leader, who has been in hiding since the war with Israel began on 13 June, insisted that Trump had “exaggerated” the impact of the bombs, and declared victory over the US and Israel. But Araghchi’s remarks create a different impression.”

Israel will even give up the top of Hermon.  Bad news for the Iranian Regime, who controlled the Assad Regime for decades.  Great news for the Abraham Accords, Israel, and Syria.  “Scoop: Israel and Syria will sign a peace agreement before the end of 2025,” i24, 6-27-25.

“Tehran is coming back to life, but its residents are deeply shaken,” BBC, 6-27-25.

“Trump Says U.S. Won’t Lift Iran Sanctions,” WSJ, 6-27-25.  Be careful what you say.  It can mean billions for your country in U.S. sanctions relief and oil purchases with China.  “The post comes in response to Khamenei’s comments a day earlier that Iran had won the war with Israel and that the U.S. had exaggerated the impact of the bombs it dropped on Iranian nuclear facilities last Saturday.
