BIG: High-ranking Iranian source tells @amwajmedia that Trump team gave advance notice of bombings of nuclear sites and insisted they're intended as "one-off". Signs of Trump seeking repeat of Jan 2020 (Soleimani killing=>symbolic Iranian retaliation).

amwaj.media/en/media-monit… Trump late on June 21 stated that Fordow, Isfahan and Natanz nuclear facilities have been “obliterated,” while threatening more strikes “if peace does not come quickly.” Bombings don't appear to have been conducted from any base in region, adding complexity to Iranian options.

NEW: Regional sources tell @alihashem_tv Yemen deal was facilitated by "positive & constructive role" by Iran. Deal follows US warnings against Tehran and letter by Saudi King to Khamenei urging de-escalation. Likely to positively impact Iran-US talks. amwaj.media/en/article/a-d… Trump's declaration of end to hostilities—seemingly without prior coordination with Israel—came only hours after Israel bombed Yemen. It thus highlights moment of divergence in tactical priorities between Tel Aviv and Washington. But does it signal deeper rift?

It's not surprising that Russia's offer to mediate talks with Trump is met with mistrust in Iran. It's even tied to Zarif's resignation. What is striking is how bipartisan this mistrust is, even as hardliners favor expansion of ties with Moscow.

amwaj.media/media-monitor/… Kayhan, whose chief editor is appointed by the supreme leader, argued that Iran “does not need an intermediary” and warned Moscow “not to fall in America’s trap.” It highlighted Washington’s past record of “treachery and deceit.” Same sentiment echoed by similar outlets.

BIG: Senior source tells @SaeedAzimi1772 that Haniyeh was killed in Iranian presidency complex. If verified, assassination particularly audacious.

Source attending emergency session of Iran's top security council says suspicion on Haniyeh's own guards.amwaj.media/article/inside… Shocked residents in affluent northern Tehran reported sound of loud explosion at 1:45 am. By dawn, IRGC confirmed assassination of Haniyeh along with a bodyguard.

IRGC-affiliated Fars said Haniyeh stayed in "special residence for war veterans in northern Tehran."

🧵 After night of innuendo, lines drawn in #Iran-#Israel confrontation are becoming clearer:

Rumors in Tehran that Golan Heights, Syrian territory occupied by Israel in 1967, is possible target for Iranian retaliation. Israel warns of direct response.
amwaj.media/article/inside… Iranian diplomatic source told @amwajmedia he “doubts anybody except for few actually know” abt retaliation for bombing of Iranian consular annex in Damascus.

Acknowledging talk of Golan Heights, he said “an answer is coming” and that it'll likely be "limited but precise."

BIG: Zahedi was Quds Force's top cmdr in Levant. He was also only non-Lebanese member of #Hezbollah's Shura Council.

Coming amid secret Iran-US talks & Hezbollah-GCC engagement, his killing seems geared to distract both Khamenei & Nasrallah. @alihashem_tv
amwaj.media/article/inside… Bombing raises major questions about state of int'l norms protecting diplomatic personnel and premises. Iran has described the targeted building, located next to its embassy, as consulate. It has also said that IRGC officers had diplomatic credentials. Israel is changing the game

NEW: #Iran's maneuvering amid the #Hamas-Israel confrontation is getting really interesting. Engagement with Saudi Arabia has been stepped up. And at yesterday's @OIC_OCI meeting in Jeddah, Iran called for sanctions on Israel—incl oil embargo. Why?
amwaj.media/media-monitor/… Obvious reasoning is that #Iran is seizing on Gaza war to step up efforts to isolate #Israel, including by putting pressure on Arab states which have normalized ties with Tel Aviv.

Indeed, along with call for OIC sanctions, Iran has demanded that any ties with Israel be cut.

BIG: Something major is happening among Shiite groups in #Iraq and #Yemen. They're not only talking abt hitting #Israel. They're warning that if the US directly intervenes in Gaza, American targets in the region will also be hit—from multiple fronts.

amwaj.media/article/deep-d… Key leaders among #Iraqi groups Asa'ib Ahl Al-Haq, Kata'ib Hezbollah, Kata’ib Sayyid Al-Shuhada, Hezbollah Al-Nujaba and PMU figures have warned that any direct US involvement in Gaza in support of Israel will turn entire US presence in the region into "legitimate targets".

NEW: Having been subject to multiple Turkish ground incursions, is #Iraq on cusp of witnessing an Iranian ground offensive too?

Quds Force commander Qa'aani's recent visit to Baghdad has raised many speculations. @amwajmedia can confirm...

amwaj.media/article/inside… .@AP report that Iran is threatening a ground offensive unless Iraqi authorities deal with exiled Iranian Kurdish opposition groups.

The Islamic Republic wants the groups "disarmed" and moved away from the border. Tehran accuses them of fueling the ongoing unrest in Iran.
