'Hospital damage was superficial; we struck military targets only": Iran's Foreign Minister
Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced that Iranian armed forces successfully struck an 'Israeli' Military Command, Control, and Intelligence headquarters along with another vital target earlier today. Earlier today, our powerful Armed Forces accurately eliminated an Israeli Military Command, Control & Intelligence HQ and another vital target. The blast wave caused superficial damage to a small section of the nearby, and largely evacuated, Soroka Military Hospital. The… — Seyed Abbas Araghchi (@araghchi) June 19, 2025 He stated that the resulting blast caused only superficial damage to a small, largely evacuated part of the nearby Soroka Military Hospital, which primarily treats Israeli soldiers involved in the conflict in Gaza, where 'Israel' has reportedly destroyed or damaged 94 percent of Palestinian hospitals. Araghchi condemned Israel as the initiator of the ongoing violence, accusing it of targeting hospitals and civilians, and noted that hundreds of innocent Iranians have been killed since 'Israel' launched what he called an 'illegal war' against Iran last week. He called on 'Israelis' to comply with Iranian evacuation orders before strikes and to avoid military and intelligence sites, warning that Iran's armed forces will continue to target those responsible until they end their aggression.

CTI Chairman Pfluger responds to Homeland Democrats' calls to visit deported Salvadoran 'MS-13 gang member, domestic abuser'
Apr. 18—WASHINGTON, Dc. Congressman — August Pfluger (TX-11), Chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security's Subcommittee on Counterterrorism and Intelligence, on Friday released the following statement regarding the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national with ties to the transnational gang and foreign terrorist organization MS-13, who was unlawfully present in Maryland, as multiple House and Senate Democrats are reportedly planning "performative" trips to visit Garcia being held in El Salvador's Terrorism Confinement Center, a news release said. "Americans should not have their hard-earned tax dollars paying for an all-expenses-paid trip to import criminal illegal aliens back into our communities," said Chairman August Pfluger. "Members who are rushing to El Salvador to retrieve an international gang-affiliated member, yet show zero urgency in meeting with Rachel Morin's family or addressing the devastation from the Biden border crisis, have their priorities completely misaligned. This isn't just failed leadership—it's a complete abandonment of their duty to protect American citizens. While Democrats are fighting on behalf of illegal criminals on your dime, Republicans will continue to fight for the safety of American citizens." Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a Salvadoran national who, according to the Department of Justice, has been repeatedly identified as having ties to MS-13, a transnational gang and foreign terrorist organization. Garcia, who was unlawfully present in Maryland, was arrested and deported by the Trump administration in early March, the release said.

Quote from Kostenko: "I propose to put to a vote a resolution instructing the Parliamentary Committee on National Security, Defence, and Intelligence to prepare for parliamentary review the issue of supplying arms to our Armed Forces in case of problems with our partners, the United States, and to urgently hold a Committee meeting with the mandatory participation of the defence minister." Details: The proposal was supported by 234 MPs. Earlier, Solomiia Bobrovska, an MP from the Holos party, reported that Umierov had refused to attend a closed session of the Defence Committee to report on "the current situation and prospects for diversifying international military aid".
