  • somewhat interestingly https://nitter.net/roqchams/status/2065025522564776069:

    Israel has carried out at least 16 attacks since dawn that targeted vital civilian infrastructure and healthcare institutions in south Lebanon and the Bekaa Valley.

    The morning began with heavy artillery shelling that explicitly targeted the immediate perimeters of the Nabatieh Government Hospital and the Nabih Berri University Government Hospital, in south Lebanon. The attacks in the south then expanded into the Bekaa, where a drone strike targeted the plains between Hizzine and Taraya, followed by a series of heavy airstrikes on the Barghaz Valley.

    In Western Bekaa, Mashghara was hit repeatedly by Israeli drone strikes, accounting for six of today’s attacks alone. Meanwhile, consecutive airstrikes targeted residential areas in Toura, Shoukin, Deir Qanoun al-Nahr, and Abbassiyeh. On the ground, the Lebanese Army successfully intervened to dismantle an unexploded Israeli munition dropped directly inside a critical water treatment station in Ibl al-Saqi. This operation led to them discovering an Israeli surveillance drone monitoring the Halta area of Hasbaya.

    This wave of Israeli aggression builds on yesterday’s attacks, which reached the hundreds, including 15 massive airstrikes and a massacre that killed nine people in Tayr Debba.

    i might be mistaken, but this seems slower than usual, although roqayah hasn’t updated the numbers since morning




  • 15h ago: Veteran political insider in Tehran with knowledge of Iran-US negotiations alleges that a draft agreement has finally been prepared. Speaking with @amwajmedia late on June 10, the insider said, “The text is ready. It was finalized tonight,” explicitly giving credit to Qatar, which has been separately engaging with both Iran and the US to forge a deal. “If they can get the final approval by tomorrow, it will be initiated,” he added, seemingly referring to the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), which gathers Iran’s civilian and military leadership, and the White House.

    further orb pondering from tweet, no details on agreement

    Spike in Iran-US violence comes amid mixed signaling that suggests possible disconnect between what the respective militaries are doing, and what political leaderships are discussing.

    Senior Iranian political source interpreted Trump’s decision to conduct strikes for a second night as reflecting anger with an apparent deadlock in negotiations. While describing Trump as “angry,” the senior source lamented that there appeared to be little cognizance in the White House of how real-world armed confrontations “are not a videogame.”

    While the Iranian leadership has authorized retaliatory strikes on US military facilities in Bahrain, Jordan and Kuwait—casting doubt on the prospect of a nod to an imminent deal—there are indications that both sides ultimately want to avoid renewed all-out war.

    Fars: The President of the United States claimed a few hours ago in a message on the social network Truth Social that Iran has agreed at the highest level to a text for the initial memorandum of understanding. A few minutes later, he made similar remarks addressing the American newspaper New York Post, saying that the text has been finalized.
