The Israeli army (IDF) last night eliminated the commander of the

military headquarters in Khatam al-Anbiya, Ali Shadmani, who had

replaced Lieutenant General Gholamali Rashid last week after the latter's killing by the IDF.

For the second time, the IDF has eliminated Iran's wartime Chief of Staff, the regime's top military commander. Following precise information received from the IDF Intelligence Directorate and a sudden opportunity on Thursday night into Friday, the IAF attacked a command center in the heart of Tehran and eliminated Ali Shadmani, the wartime Chief of Staff, the highest-ranking military commander and the figure closest to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, an IDF press release on Telegram read. He was appointed commander of the Iranian Armed Forces at the start of the operation after his predecessor, Alaa Ali Rashid, was eliminated in the opening attack of Operation Rising Lion, the statement continued. The Khatam al-Anbiya emergency command center, under his command, was responsible for managing combat operations and approving Iran’s fire plans. In his various roles, he directly influenced Iran's operational plans targeting the State of Israel.

Khamenei, his deputies and their families: rumors about the possibility of fleeing to Russia and those about a possible dialogue

(by Greta Privitera) - In order: shock, pride, and then reality. Which for Ali Khamenei, exhausted by five days of heavy bombing, also means thinking about an exit strategy to safeguard power. Aware that they cannot sustain a war confrontation with the Israeli army for long, the ayatollahs have launched an underground, but, they say, desperate, appeal to Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman: put pressure on Donald Trump to use his influence on Israel and convince Netanyahu's government to call an immediate ceasefire. In exchange, Iran is said to be ready to show flexibility in the nuclear negotiations. Which could mean: backtracking on uranium enrichment. This is reported by the Wall Street Journal and confirmed to the Corriere by diplomatic sources who ask to remain anonymous. They explain: It is clear that the Iranians are in serious trouble. It is not just a problem of missiles, they are terrified to realize that the men of the Israeli secret services are probably eating at their table. Between destruction and infiltration, the survival of the dictatorship is put to the test. Dumbfounded and stunned by this war that they thought they could avoid, the Islamist clerics launch threats via the press — we will take revenge! —, but, in the meantime, in the deafening silence of their bunkers, they study the negotiating strategy: They send forward the most moderate figures to send signals to Trump.

The military situation at the moment

(by Elena Tebano) -  It is the fifth day of war between Israel and Iran. The Israeli offensive is advancing and now the Iranian government, in difficulty, is asking for American mediation and seems willing to negotiate on nuclear power. Now much depends on what US President Donald Trump decides to do, who also yesterday, at the G7 in Canada, distanced himself from his traditional allies. Let's see.

Israel, in addition to having taken control of Iranian airspace, yesterday struck the headquarters of state television in Tehran. The attack was in fact broadcast live on TV: the news was on and the pro-government presenter was filmed as she rushed to leave her post after the first explosion. The Israeli army declared that the building was used for military purposes under the guise of civilian activities, that is, as a communications center for the Iranian armed forces. Alarms continued to ring during the night, after Iran launched more missiles toward Israel. The Iranians who have died so far are 224, mostly civilians, the Israelis 24, all civilians, according to their respective countries.

The Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meanwhile has not ruled out the possibility of striking the supreme leader of Iran Ali Khamenei (We will do what is necessary. His elimination would put an end to the conflict. I do not want to go into details) and claimed the results obtained so far by his army: We are on the road to victory, the leaders in Tehran know it and the Iranians know it. The regime change could be a result of our actions. And again: We have set back the nuclear development project wanted by the ayatollahs by a long, long time. Israel, according to the International Atomic Energy Agency, has in fact disabled almost all of the 15,000 centrifuges at Iran's largest uranium enrichment plant, at Natanz. But Guido Olimpio explains here that the most important nuclear site for atomic weapons, at Fordow, has only been scratched out and that the Israelis do not have the weapons necessary to destroy it (the Americans would). There are also doubts about the actual possibility of regime change (Aldo Cazzullo wrote about it today in response to a reader). But yesterday's most important element is another: Iran's request for American intervention to mediate with Israel. According to Reuters and the Wall Street Journal, Tehran has asked Oman, Qatar , and Saudi Arabia to pressure US President
Donald Trump
to use their influence with Netanyahu to push for an immediate ceasefire. If President Trump is sincere about diplomacy and interested in stopping this war, the next steps are crucial, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on X. Israel must stop its aggression, and if there is no total cessation of military aggression against us, our responses will continue. A phone call from Washington is enough to muzzle someone like Netanyahu. In return, Iran would show more flexibility in the nuclear negotiations. This is a real sign of difficulty.

Trump's ultimatum to Iran: total surrender on uranium enrichment or war

(by Viviana Mazza, correspondent in Calgary) - It's an ultimatum of sorts: Trump is telling the Iranians that if they don't accept his deal and completely give up uranium enrichment (which for them means surrender) something will happen. This is the context of his sudden departure after the evacuate Tehran message. As if to say: uranium enrichment will end, one way or another, either with a diplomatic deal or because Fordow will explode. But if this persuasion tactic fails, Trump will have to decide whether this is Israel's war or America's war.

MO: Israel probes people ready to film Iranian attacks

The Israeli police have launched an investigation against several people who were preparing to film from the balcony of a hotel room in the city of Haifa, where Iranian attacks have occurred in recent days. According to a statement from the police force, the action was taken in accordance with the zero-tolerance policy of the Minister of Defense and the General Commissioner of Police following Iran's retaliatory attacks against Israel, following which the army banned the media from broadcasting certain images. The police added that the officers, once informed of the incident, went to the hotel room to confiscate the equipment with which the suspects intended to film and who are now being questioned. All details of the operation have been forwarded to the Israeli General Security Service to investigate any possible security crimes. Following the escalation with Iran, the Israeli military's censorship department issued a series of directives to the media that prohibit filming damage near military installations, using drones to take panoramic shots of affected areas, or providing the address of damaged civilian areas near security infrastructure. It is also forbidden to broadcast videos or images of interceptor missile launches, direct interceptions or impacts of missiles or drones on the ground, as well as filming near areas equipped with anti-aircraft batteries. All of this, the censorship service emphasizes, is intended to prevent providing aid to the enemy in times of war, which represents a concrete threat to state security.
