Moment of fire as missile storm engulfs Haifa and flattens buildings
Published June 15th, 2025 - 08:23 GMT ALBAWABA - As military tensions between Iran and Israel rise, there have been a number of unproven stories on social media and opposition media sources saying that the families of high-ranking Iranian officials are being quietly taken out of the country. Sources in the Iranian resistance say that video has been released that supposedly shows private planes taking families of top regime leaders out of Iran. A fifth plane is said to have recently left Iranian airspace and was flying low between mountains on its way to the Russian border, according to one source. The reasons for these reported evacuations are still not clear, but there is rising talk that some Iranian leaders may be running away because they are afraid of vengeance from Israel or trouble in their own country. People on social media have made symbolic connections to the plane that took Ayatollah Khomeini back to Iran in 1979, saying that these planes are now taking regime supporters out of the country that is in danger. — Arya - آریا (@AryJeay) June 15, 2025 Even though none of these claims have been publicly confirmed by Iranian officials, they have sparked a public discussion about how confident the Iranian government is in the face of growing pressure from outside the country and unrest within it. Iran and Israel are still firing missiles and drones at each other, and the whole region is on high watch in case things get worse. On the same day, Israeli Channel 13 reported that the families of several cabinet members and ministers have also been moved to safe places inside Israel in case Iran attacks in response to current military operations. This is happening even though there are still limits on flights and the security situation in the area is generally unstable. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Pentagon's Flag Day post causes stir, did it mix between US and Russian flags?
ALBAWABA - A post was shared on the X platform by the Pentagon has caused wide controversy on social media after people accused it of mixing the American flag and the Russian flag. The buzz began when the American Department of Defense posted on X to celebrate the US Flag Day and wrote a caption: "Happy Flag Day! Let us honor the emblem of our nation and the stars and stripes that unite us all." The post also read: "As we display our nations flag and reflect on the values it represents, let's celebrate the freedom, courage and resilience that makes our country great." (Photo shared by the American Department of Defense on X to mark Flag Day) However, in the photo below, it read "Flag Day" with the American flag on the side, while on the two sides surrounding the sentence, people claimed that the department mistakenly added two Russian flags. Meanwhile, despite the fuss regarding the photo shared by the American Department of Defense, some people defended it by saying the colors that were said to resemble the Russian flag are nothing but two dashes in the colors of the American flag (red, while and blue). Many asked people not to overanalyse or exaggerate some things, and said this is nothing but a "silly design mistake".
