Iran’s strike on The Kirya, Israel’s Pentagon
Iran launched Operation True Promise III on June 13 against Israel, sending a barrage of missiles and drones in retaliation against the latter’s airstrikes which hit key military and nuclear installations of the former. Iran specifically targeted HaKirya or The Kirya compound (The Campus in Hebrew) in central Tel Aviv, Israel’s premier military headquarters.

The counterstrike followed a few hours after Tehran’s top military leadership was wiped out by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in precision strikes.
This attack on The Kirya, in the heart of Tel Aviv and which serves as the nerve center of Israel’s defense operations, is a significant escalation in the ongoing Israel-Iran conflict and carries both strategic and symbolic weight.
What is The Kirya?
The Kirya compound, often described as Israel’s “Pentagon,” is located in the heart of Tel Aviv and houses the IDF General Staff, the Ministry of Defense, and key military command and intelligence facilities. Serving as the headquarters of the IDF since 1948, HaKirya also houses Camp Rabin, a major IDF base named after former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin.
The military compound includes landmark structures such as the Marganit and Matcal Towers, which coordinate military planning, intelligence gathering, and operational command.
The Kirya is one of the most sensitive and heavily guarded sites in Israel, essential for national security and military coordination.

Fox News correspondent Trey Yingst described the attack on the Kirya, calling it Israel's Pentagon. While reporting during the Iranian missile attack,Yingst said, "The Iranians have responded with three waves of ballistic missiles. This is Israel's version of the Pentagon, the Kirya, and the building on this compound was just hit."
An Israeli military press briefing was stopped due to the Iranian strikes. Israeli military spokesman Effie Defrin was briefing the press about the ongoing conflict when a loudspeaker blared out about the Kirya going into "defensive standby", leading to the disruption of the media interaction.
Why Iran targeted the Kirya
Iran’s missile strike on the Kirya was a direct response to a massive Israeli air campaign earlier that day, which targeted Iranian nuclear and military sites. Top IRGC commander Hossein Salami, chief-of-staff of the Iranian armed forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri, commander-in-chief of the Iranian armed forces Major General Gholam Ali Rashid and commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Aerospace Force Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh were killed in the Israeli strikes.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declared that Israel’s attacks “started a war” and vowed a “decisive” and “crushing” retaliation.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched hundreds of ballistic missiles in multiple waves, some reaching deep into Israeli territory. According to Iranian state media and verified footage, at least one missile struck near the Marganit Tower inside the Kirya compound, causing damage but reportedly no casualties within the base itself. Nearby civilian areas in Tel Aviv sustained damage and injuries, with at least five people wounded by shrapnel.
Targeting the Kirya was a strategic move by Iran to disrupt Israel’s military command and control capabilities. Striking the heart of Israeli defense infrastructure sends a powerful message about Tehran’s ability to reach critical military sites and escalate the conflict beyond border skirmishes.
Israeli response and impact
The Israel Defense Forces activated advanced missile defense systems, including Iron Dome and Arrow interceptors, to counter the barrage. Despite these measures, at least nine missile impact sites were reported across Israel, with significant damage in Tel Aviv’s metropolitan area.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the situation as a fight for Israel’s survival, emphasizing the country’s determination to continue its military operations against Iranian threats. The attack on the Kirya raised concerns about vulnerabilities in Israel’s air defenses and the potential for further escalation.
This missile strike follows a large-scale Israeli operation dubbed “Operation Rising Lion,” aimed at rolling back Iran’s nuclear ambitions and military capabilities.

I say fuck trump at least 10 times a dayMan I often don’t say fuck another person but fuck Trump. You want them folks to agree to something they always agreed to but only this time you want them to stop support of the resistance and zero enrichment
They told you they support the resistance but those nations act on their own.
once Iran was clear with that, this when they realized they had to have direct talks with Yemen.
Iran told said, “We do not control Yemen. Yemenis people are their own people”
Yall want regime change just to turn that place in Libya
“Oman has officially confirmed the breakdown of negotiations between Iran and the US on the nuclear deal.
"The Iranian-American talks scheduled for this Sunday in Muscat will now not take place. But diplomacy and dialogue remain the only path to lasting peace," Omani Foreign Minister Badr Albusaidi wrote in X.
Earlier, Iran declared the negotiations “pointless” after Israel launched strikes against the Islamic Republic.
Trump earlier called on Tehran to continue negotiations and conclude a deal “before it is too late.”

Yup, preach it.....!!!Exactly
And I don't wanna hear that sugarcoating bullshit of "they've been fighting for centuries". Uhhhh no they haven't and definitely not to THIS level. The British empire with the help of the U.S. planted the seeds in the 1940s, created the state of Israel with European transplants. That lil piece of history is what fucked the region up.
