Iran is growing increasingly desperate but their messaging remains out of touch: Iran's UN mission said “No Iranian official has ever begged at the gates of the White House. The only thing more disgusting than his [Trump's] lies is his cowardly threat to ‘eliminate’ Iran’s Supreme Leader. Iran does not negotiate under pressure, does not accept peace under threats, and certainly not from a warmonger clinging to scraps of relevance. Iran will respond to every threat with a counter-threat, and to every action with reciprocal steps.”

IDF shoots down 3 Cobra attack helicopters in Iran | WATCH

The Israeli Air Force conducted a targeted operation, destroying three Iranian Cobra combat helicopters at a military base in the Karamanshah area, according to the IDF Spokesperson. The strike, part of ongoing aerial operations, comes as Israeli aircraft continue to patrol Iranian skies, identifying and engaging targets amid escalating tensions following recent Israeli offensives.

The IDF reported that the destroyed helicopters were intended to counter Israeli air operations over Iran. This action follows a series of strikes targeting Iranian military assets, including nuclear facilities and leadership sites, since the launch of Operation Rising Lion on June 13, 2025, as the conflict intensifies in the region.
