June 19, 2025 Israeli strike hits area near Iran's Khondab nuclear facility
An area near the heavy-water research reactor in Khondab, a key site in Iran's nuclear program, was struck by Israeli forces, according to a report by the Iranian Student News Agency (ISNA) on Thursday.
ISNA said that officials had evacuated the facility before the attack and emphasized that there was no radiation risk.
The reactor, formerly known as Arak, is still under construction. Iran has informed the UN nuclear watchdog that it plans to begin operating the facility next year.

Israel says it launched strikes on Iran missile facilities – DW – 06/21/2025
Renewed strikes in Israel and Iran come after Tehran ruled out a return to nuclear talks until Israel halts its strikes, and Israel's army told Israelis to brace for a "prolonged campaign." According to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar's estimates, Israel's attacks on Iran have slowed down the Islamic Republic's development of a nuclear bomb by several years. "I believe, according to the assessments we hear, we have already delayed their ability to obtain a nuclear bomb by at least two or three years," Saar said in an interview with the German tabloid newspaper. "The fact that we have eliminated those individuals who led and advanced the weaponization of the nuclear program is extremely important in terms of the results," he said. "We have already achieved a lot. But we will do whatever we can. We will not stop until we have done everything possible to eliminate this threat," Saar said. The conflict between Israel and Iran erupted a week ago with Israeli airstrikes targeting nuclear and military sites, top generals and nuclear scientists. The Iranian state news agency Tasnim named the "martyred" scientists as "Abdolhamid Minouchehr, Ahmadreza Zolfaghari, Amirhossein Feqhi, Motalleblizadeh, Mohammad Mehdi Tehranchi and Fereydoun Abbasi." Israel is convinced that Iran is trying to build a nuclear weapon, an accusation that Iranian leadership has repeatedly rejected. Iran has maintained that its nuclear program is meant for civilian rather than military purposes. However, experts and the International Atomic Energy Agency, the UN watchdog which inspects nuclear facilities, have questioned and criticized the Iranian claims. The German air force evacuated 64 citizens from Israel who arrived in Cologne on Friday. The Airbus A400M military aircraft touched down at Cologne/Bonn Airport. This is the first time the German air force has flown German citizens out of Israel since the conflict with Iran escalated about a week ago. The group of German citizens was flown out of Israel as part of a "diplomatic evacuation," the German government said. "The flights were carried out at short notice in close coordination with the Israeli authorities and were primarily intended for families with children and other vulnerable persons." In the past two days, Germany had begun evacuating its citizens on special flights, though not directly from Israel, but rather from Jordan. Around 2:30 a.m. in Israel (2330 GMT on Friday), the Israeli military warned of an incoming missile barrage from Iran, triggering air raid sirens across parts of central Israel, including Tel Aviv, as well as in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Israel said its defense system intercepted the missiles over Tel Aviv. The Israeli air force also said Saturday it had launched a new wave of airstrikes against missile storage and launch sites in central Iran, on the ninth day of conflict between the two countries. Israel's armed forces chief, Eyal Zamir, warned that his country should be "ready for a prolonged campaign" against Iran, as the war entered its second week. Zamir's statement echoed earlier remarks by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said the fighting would continue "for as long as it takes." A meeting of the foreign ministers of three European countries with their Iranian counterpart, Abbas Araghchi, came to an end Friday in Geneva, with the ministers from Germany and France voicing hope over future talks. Araghchi, meanwhile, said Iran would not return to talks about its nuclear program until Israeli "aggression ceases and the aggressor is held accountable for its committed crimes." US President Donald Trump said on Friday Iran has a "maximum" of two weeks to avoid possible US military strikes, one day after stating he would decide within a fortnight whether to take action. Welcome to DW's coverage of the escalating conflict between Israel and Iran. The nuclear talks in Geneva ended on Friday with no conclusion. The date for the next round of talks has not been decided. Meanwhile, Iran and Israel have resumed attacks against each other. In addition to the latest news, this blog will bring you photos, videos, analyses and on-the-ground reporting from DW correspondents.

Iran: Can war with Israel trigger regime change? – DW
The Islamist regime in Tehran has been using the conflict with Israel to rally support and unify the Iranian people behind them. But can Iran's current system really survive the crisis? "Iran will not surrender and will continue to defend itself," Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, told the public in a televised speech this week, following days of Israeli bombing and Iran's retaliatory strikes. His exact location is unclear. Rumors and hints from the US and the Israeli governments indicate that he could be personally targeted at some point by an Israeli air strike. If Khamenei is assassinated, he would share the fate of many high-ranking members of his regime who have been killed in recent days. And this has prompted many to ask — how can a regime that fails to protect its own top officials be trusted to protect Iran's borders? "Despite all claims [by the Iranian government] about missile defense or protecting command centers, the absolute inefficiency of this regime has become apparent to the public," exiled Iran expert and sociologist Majid Golpour told DW. Iran's Khamenei defies Trump's call to surrender To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Could this weakness bring about the collapse of the Islamist regime? According to Golpour, this mostly depends on its political alternative. "Now is the time for the nation's political forces to present a common charter — both against the ruling system and against outside threats. But there are still no concrete plans, functioning coalitions and viable structures inside the opposition," Golpour said. Opposition in Iran battered for decades But finding common ground is easier said than done. Even outside Iran, opponents of the regime are split into rival groups. One faction of the Iranian diaspora regards the eldest son of the ousted Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi as a possible interim ruler — or at least a symbol of national unity. Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Prince Reza Pahlavi has mostly been living in the US and has tried to position himself as a political leader and opponent of the Islamic Republic. He has no political organization active on Iranian soil. And that's no surprise — the Islamist regime has been suppressing dissenting voices inside Iran for many decades. Any person posing a possible threat to the regime is discredited, harassed, arrested and often sentenced to long prison terms. Still, political scientist Shukriya Bradost, a non-resident scholar at the Middle East Institute, a US-based think tank, believes there is a chance of a political shift. Iranians protest Israeli strikes To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Bradost believes that a political vacuum could emerge if the regime gets seriously weakened. This would allow opposition groups to organize protests and strikes, and enact wide-reaching change. Will war make Iranians more patriotic? A deciding factor during wartime is the feeling of patriotism linking Iranians to their country. This sense of unity helped the Islamist regime stabilize after the 1979 revolution. When Iraq, under Saddam Hussein, attacked Iran in 1980, people rallied behind the country and persevered through eight years of war that cost the country up to 1 million Iranian lives. The Islamist leaders are once again using nationalist rhetoric to firm up support. "The Islamic Republic has recognized that people no longer identify with the idea of a 'nation of Islam,' but rather see themselves as citizens of Iran. No sensible person can be fooled by this staged nationalism," political scientist and journalist Shahran Tabari told DW. It is however difficult to ascertain what people of Iran feel at this time — except for fear and anger about the escalating conflict happening without their consent. Waiting for Trump's decision Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, famous for her fight for women's rights in Iran, recently called on Israel to stop its attacks and urged a truce across the Middle East. "I want to ask President Trump — not only not to join this war, but to stop it," she said in a video message carried by US broadcaster CNN. Meanwhile, the West seems to be divided on Iran and without a clear strategy for a regime change. While some voices in the US, like former National Security Adviser John Bolton, call for a military intervention, US President Donald Trump seem to be hesitant — for now.

Fact check: Protests against the Israel-Iran conflict? – DW – 06/20/2025
A viral video claims to show Israelis protesting against the war with Iran, chanting for peace. But is it real? We analyzed the footage and found clear signs of AI-generated content. The widespread and continuing attacks by Israel and Iran on each other's territories are worrying people around the world. Since Israel attacked Iran, and Iran hit back in retaliation, both countries have been targeting each other. At least 224 people have been killed in Iran , according to Iranian authorities, while human rights groups report significantly higher numbers, with at least 657 people killed . In Israel, officials report 24 deaths. Several thousand people were injured on both sides. In the upcoming two weeks, US President Donald Trump plans to decide whether the US will join the conflict on Israel's side. But what do Israelis think about their country attacking Iran? A viral video allegedly shows what Israelis think of the war. Does this video show protests in Israel? Claim: This video (archived here ) allegedly shows hundreds of Israelis protesting against Israel's "war on Iran." People in the streets waving Israeli flags are shouting: "Stop the war. Iran, we are sorry. We want peace!" The video has been viewed more than 4.9 million times and shared on several social media platforms like Facebook, archived here . DW Fact check: Fake This viral video of people protesting in Israel against the war with Iran is AI-generated Image: TikTok Comments under the video like, "time for regime change in Israel," show that many social media users think the video is real. But it is not — it's AI-generated. Here's how we know. First, look at people's mouth movements in the video. They look artificial and unrealistic. Some of their arms appear and disappear while they chant. Secondly, the quality of the video is quite poor, which makes it easier to believe it might be genuine. Thirdly, if you look closely at the right hand corner of the video, you can see the watermark "Veo." This is a sign that the video was made with the Google AI tool, Veo3 . In the video, you can see the watermark "Veo," which indicates that the video is AI-generated with Google's AI tool Veo3 Image: TikTok Experts like Hany Farid, a professor at the University of California, Berkeley, who specializes in digital forensics, have seen many fake videos created with this tool lately. "One simple tip-off ... is that all of these videos are either exactly eight seconds in length or composed of short (eights seconds or less) clips composited together," Farid wrote on the social media platform LinkedIn . "Why eight seconds? This is the current maximum length that Veo 3 can generate a continuous shot. Other models have slightly longer limits but 8-10 seconds is typical." This video of supposed Israeli protesters against the war between Israel and Iran is also eight seconds long. Anti-war demonstrations in Israel? This evidence shows that the video is most likely AI-generated. But are there still real protests against this war in Israel? So far, there are no reports of large-scale protests in Israel against the conflict between Israel and couldn't find any videos or images from news agencies showing any large demonstrations either and DW correspondents in Israel confirmed there had been no such protests, by the time of publication. On the contrary, according to a recent opinion poll, there is broad support among Jewish Israelis for the strikes against Iran. Some 83% back Israel's military operations and express their confidence in Israel's security institutions and preparedness for a prolonged conflict. In contrast, the majority of Palestinian Israeli citizens said they opposed the strikes and favored diplomacy over military action. Boris Geilert contributed to this article. Edited by Rachel Baig
