French embassy in Israel reveals French Rafale jets were used to intercept shahed drones on their way to israel
Therefore the rafale once again proved it's combat effectiveness
(in a positive way)
Israel and the US would just continue conducting targeted assassinations and sabotage in Iran.For Iran to avoid joining Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria as beaten-down societies with blighted futures, it must put Persia in a museum and join the modern world as a self-interested nation-state aloof from the poisonous conflicts among its neighbors to the West. This means taking a hard look at a map and choosing where its future lies, no regrets and no recriminations. FM Abbas Araghchi and DM Aziz Nasirzadeh understand this. Will the remainder of Iran's complex governance join them...
Pretty insane figures, Iran definitely hit some important targets that has been erased by Israeli censorsIsrael has estimated the cost of damages incurred during its 12-day war with Iran at 10 billion shekels ($3 billion), with funds needed both to repair missile-hit buildings and pay compensation to local businesses.
The calculations shared by the Israeli finance ministry and tax body this week indicate the extent to which Iran broke through Israel’s defenses during nearly two weeks of rocket fire.
“This is the greatest challenge we’ve faced — there has never been this amount of damage in Israel’s history,” Shay Aharonovich, the director general of Israel’s Tax Authority who’s in charge of paying out compensation, told reporters.
The sum doesn’t include the cost to Israel of replacing weapons and defense systems used in the campaign, which is likely to push the total figure much higher when assessments are complete.
Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich told a press conference the total cost of war could be as high as $12 billion, while Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron put the figure at about half that when on Wednesday. Whatever the final figure, that presents a challenge to an economy already strained by 20 months of wider conflict.
Among the terms being discussed, which have not been previously reported, is an estimated $20-30 billion investment in a new Iranian non-enrichment nuclear program that would be used for civilian energy purposes, Trump administration officials and sources familiar with the proposal told CNN. One official insisted that money would not come directly from the US, which prefers its Arab partners foot the bill. Investment in Iran’s nuclear energy facilities has been discussed in previous rounds of nuclear talks in recent months.
“The US is willing to lead these talks” with Iran, the Trump administration official told CNN. “And someone is going to need to pay for the nuclear program to be built, but we will not make that commitment.”
Other incentives include potentially removing some sanctions on Iran and allowing Tehran to access the $6 billion currently sitting in foreign bank accounts that it is restricted from freely using, according to the draft described to CNN.
Another idea floated last week that is currently being considered is for US-backed allies in the Gulf to pay to replace the Fordow nuclear facility – which the US hit with bunker-buster bombs over the weekend – with the non-enrichment program, two sources familiar with the matter said. It was not immediately clear if Iran would be able to use the site itself, nor was it clear how seriously that proposal was being considered.

Ministry of Defense demanded 60 billion shekels in emergency allocations to sustain operations.
If this is what a deal for a "defeated" Iran would look like, what would a deal for a victorious Iran look like?
To be fair, that's a pretty small venue. It's also hard to say how those who lost homes or businesses will feel and whether there will be sufficient (if any) state support for them to recover losses.I saw another one that is this, pictures to some doc that has since been deleted, this is just the civilian stuff.
Also it seems that 3 of these are alive, Like one of the generals that was seen on tv, more have been seen during celebrations
Admiral Ali Shamkhani ,Gen. Esmail Qaani, Gen. Abdulrahim Mousavi.
And it seems like Iran did have some 'unifying' effect
