16.06.2025 ⇢ The day Netanyahu spoke of killing Khamenei
⌨Casualty figures fluctuated throughout the morning as Italian media tracked Iranian missile strikes that killed between three and eight Israeli civilians, while Iran reported 224 deaths from Israeli bombardments. Netanyahu escalated rhetoric by midday, declaring Israel "dominates Tehran's skies" and claiming control of Iranian airspace represented a fundamental shift in the conflict.

The day's most significant development came when Israeli forces bombed Iran's state television headquarters, with broadcasts interrupted and journalists fleeing on air. Netanyahu then explicitly stated that killing Khamenei would end the war, marking the first direct assassination threat against Iran's Supreme Leader.

Reports emerged of Khamenei's staff seeking safe passage to Russia while Iranian Revolutionary Guards promised "the worst attack in Israel's history." Trump advised immediate evacuation of Tehran and left the G7 summit early, while markets rose on expectations of swift resolution. Iran announced renewed missile attacks continuing "until dawn."

Trump expressed support for Israel's defense while hoping for agreement between the parties, calling this "the moment" for potential negotiations, as Iranian leadership reportedly moved Khamenei to bunker protection (HuffPost Italia, La Stampa).

LA DOPPIA FACCIA DI TEL AVIV

NOTTE NEL RIFUGIO . Solo ieri pomeriggio, la camminata tra il centro e Jaffa ci ha regalato passaggi di bellezza struggente, poi i telefonini hanno ricevuto il segnale di massima allerta. Al riparo con la popolazione del quartiere. L'onda d'urto di un missile caduto qui mi ha attraversato. Vengo da quella parte dell'Europa che la guerra la conosce solo dai film o dai racconti degli anziani. Ma da qui è tutto maledettamente diverso

Gay, forza Schlein: vai a Teheran

Tre guerre in corso, e la segretaria del Pd Elly Schlein si mobilita contro Israele e a favore di Iran, Hamas e comunità Lgbt. Ha infatti annunciato che parteciperà al gay pride che si terrà in Ungheria il 28 giugno. Bel gesto, se fosse accompagnata con la stessa fermezza verso i governi che perseguitano l’omosessualità, come per esempio proprio quello degli ayatollah o dei terroristi palestinesi

"Il regime è debole, il popolo si unisca nella protesta"

L'avvocata iraniana, premio Nobel per la pace che vive in esilio a Londra dal 2009: "Se Israele ha così tanti infiltrati in Iran da aver colpito i capi pasdaran con droni partiti dall'interno del Paese - prosegue -, perché non mira chirurgicamente alla guida suprema? Perché attacca le infrastrutture e uccide i civili se può arrivare dove vuole?"

07:17⇢Death Toll Soars to 224 in Iran

⌨The newspapers report casualty figures from the Israel-Iran conflict have escalated dramatically, with Iran claiming 224 deaths from Israeli strikes while Israel reports 8-14 civilian deaths and 90-300 wounded from Iranian missile attacks (ANSA, Avvenire, Corriere Della Sera, Il Sole 24 Ore, Sky TG24).

Iranian Nobel laureate Shirin Ebadi questioned why Israel attacks civilian infrastructure when it apparently has sufficient intelligence penetration to target leadership directly, while Il Giornale criticized PD leader Schlein for planning to attend Hungary's gay pride while remaining silent on LGBT persecution in Iran (HuffPost Italia, Il Giornale).

Tre domande a cui i riarmisti dovrebbero rispondere

Il riarmo (Italia? Ue? Nato?) è probabilmente necessario ma, più precisamente: chi è il nemico? Chi va a combattere, e a morire? Chi ci mette i soldi? Serve quantomeno un buon consulente di comunicazione

Banche e finanza, non è un bello spettacolo

Mediobanca, il rinvio in extremis dell'assemblea è clamoroso, segnale di una situazione poco edificante. Il valore che le operazioni dovrebbero generare non è necessariamente quello degli azionisti, e questi ultimi hanno spesso obiettivi ben poco allineati con gli interessi delle imprese e dei clienti delle banche

"La guerra fra Israele e Iran non durerà a lungo, Teheran non ha le forze"

Il politologo libanese dell'American University di Beirut a Huffpost: "Non credo che possa durare oltre due settimane. L'Iran non ha tanti missili e persegue la sua rappresaglia con estrema attenzione, al fine di evitare una guerra totale. E poi nessuno è disposto a unirsi alla sua guerra. Dopo la fine di questo conflitto il popolo iraniano potrebbe ribellarsi in modo potente"
