Will Israel’s interceptor missile shortage force US entry in war?

We’re in a tight spot. If Israel’s interceptor crisis worsens, they will eventually be unable to shoot down Iranian missiles devastating their cities. Tel Aviv will all look like Gaza. Tit for tat.

It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy as they say.

At that point, Trump will have to mobilize more lies and propaganda than ever before.

Trump, who received $100 MILLION from AIPAC top donor Miriam Adelson, can’t simply say tough titty, Israel. You made your bed, now lie in it. Millions of Americans would love that but Trump, in accepting these millions, will need an iron clad excuse to refuse to shed American blood. And American blood was in fact the very commodity the Zionists were buying for those millions in campaign donations.

On the other hand, if Americans, including MAGA voters, took to the streets and demanded in no uncertain terms, that America stay out of the Middle East and let the genocidal bastards deal with their own problems, that would put the already beleaguered Trump in a tighter position than he has ever faced before.

Can he lie and cheat his way out of this?

I did not originally undertake to start a groundswell and I am totally unsuited for leading the charge up the hill.

But there are groups dedicated to this sort of thing and I hope an able and courageous leader will emerge and teach America how to say no in a way that they never have before.

The cause is so righteous this time. We are being asked by brutal unciviliized murderers to fight people whose only motive is to stop a genocide. This is just so wrong, So wrong that no amount of propaganda will justify it.

Americans no longer remember the Holocaust.

But their computers are flooded with images of a hideous Nakba happening right before their eyes.

And we have the power to stop it.

Wave 14: Israel's Interceptor Missile Stockpile Is Running Out, and US Intervention Is Imminent!

Iranian Missiles and Destruction in Israel

The escalation between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Israel continues. Over the past three days, Iran announced the launch of the "ninth" to "fourteenth" waves of its attacks, confirming the use of advanced hypersonic missiles such as the Fatah and Khaibar Shekan, posing an increasing challenge to enemy defenses. Iranian targets included sensitive command and intelligence centers (such as the Gav-Yam complex in Jaffa and the command and intelligence base near Soroka Hospital in Beersheba), scientific research centers involved in the military industry, and continued bombing of cities and economic centers. Reports have begun to clearly indicate the erosion and depletion of the enemy's interceptor missile stockpile, particularly in the upper (Arrow) and middle (David's Sling) tiers, reflecting the success of Iran's attrition strategy.

From the temporary entity's perspective, airstrikes against targets in Iran continued, but the focus appears to be shifting to attempts to cause widespread destruction or pressure for direct US intervention, particularly with regard to hardened targets such as the Fordow nuclear facility, which the enemy lacks the independent capability to effectively destroy.

Internationally, the US position is becoming increasingly clear, despite its initial ambiguity. The deployment of the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier and the deployment of defensive reinforcements are a multi-pronged deterrent message. US President Donald Trump's statements, particularly his call for the evacuation of Tehran, marked a rhetorical turning point regarding the possibility of a major US and Israeli strike on the Iranian capital.

Key Consequences of the Aggression Against Iran:

- Breaking the Equations of Deterrence: The era of shadow warfare has ended, and the era of direct confrontation has begun, where every attack will be met with a painful response. The temporary entity [Israel] no longer possesses absolute superiority in the ability to inflict harm on its adversary without incurring a heavy price on its own home front.

- The Effectiveness of Iran's Missile Deterrence: Iran has proven that its missile and drone arsenal is its trump card, enabling it to bypass the temporary Israeli air superiority and inflict strategic damage. The tactic of overwhelming and saturating has proven effective in exhausting and overcoming advanced defense systems.

- The Fragility of the Enemy's Home Front: The war revealed a fatal weakness in the Israeli position: the home front's inability to withstand a protracted war of attrition with high human and economic costs. This represents enormous political pressure on the Israeli leadership and its decision-making establishment.

- A Struggle of Wills and Attrition: The battle has turned into a war of attrition that relies not only on military capabilities, but also on each side's ability to endure pain and losses, and its ability to replenish its stockpiles and repair its infrastructure. In this battle, Iran's strategic and demographic depth appears to give Tehran an advantage in endurance and a significant advantage over the enemy.

- The Pivotal Role of the American Position: US President Trump's decision regarding the level of direct intervention is the most important factor in determining the course of the war. Israeli pressure on Washington is intense, but the risks of becoming embroiled in a broad regional war remain a major obstacle delaying American involvement.

Conclusion:

The region has entered a new era of direct and open confrontation, with the specter of a comprehensive regional war looming. The temporary entity has achieved initial tactical successes but has found itself embroiled in a war of attrition that is striking at its strategic depth and exposing the weakness of its defenses against certain threats. Iran has suffered security breaches and initial defensive weaknesses, but it has succeeded in recovering quickly and imposing a new deterrence equation through its missile arsenal, inflicting unprecedented damage on the enemy. The ultimate outcome of the conflict is uncertain and depends largely on the ability of both sides to bear the cost, the level of American involvement, and the strategic decisions they may make under increasing pressure, especially regarding the Iranian nuclear program, which could become the next flashpoint.

Air strike update for June 20, 2025

Translation with my notes in bold and in [brackets]

https://tsargrad.tv/articles/moshhnejshie-udary-po-odesse-i-kievu-super-gerani-i-rakety-vynosjat-sekretnye-zavody-ukrainy-no-ostalos-strannoe-tabu_1293064

The most powerful strikes on Odessa and Kyiv: Super-"Gerans" and missiles are taking out secret factories in Ukraine. But a strange "taboo" remains

While everyone is watching the battle between Israel and Iran, the Russian army has repeatedly stepped up its strikes on the Ukrainian rear. Every evening, hundreds of drones fly towards the enemy, air defense ammunition is spent on them, and then the impressive arsenal of Russian missile engineering is used: cruise Kh-101, ballistics, hypersonics. Near the front line, targets are leveled to the ground by one-and-a-half-ton and three-ton FABs [bombs] with UMPK [glide and correction kits]. And the choice of targets is not random. We have finally begun to take out, pointwise, as expected, the enemy's infrastructure working for the defense industry. Incidentally, President Vladimir Putin recently said this, answering a question from an American journalist. In the fourth year of the War, Russia has begun to do the same thing that Israel and Iran have been demonstrating towards each other since the first days of the conflict.

It seems that the humanistic and, in its own way, understandable practice of sparing the Ukrainian industry (we are the ones who will restore it, by the way, after Kyiv's capitulation and the annexation of new territories to Russia) has been replaced by a cold and pragmatic calculation. From now on, the position is as follows: if necessary, we will rebuild everything anew, but for now we are mercilessly turning into ruins all the enterprises of the military-industrial complex of Ukraine that we can reach.

If earlier we launched dozens of missiles and drones, now the count is already in the hundreds. In order to destroy another secret workshop or underground shelter, we launch a dozen missiles at one point, crushing thick concrete floors.

The onslaught is especially noticeable in the last week, with the beginning of the conflict between Iran and Israel. Russia, as if having spied on how military actions are conducted, if everything is happening "seriously", has removed some self-restraint from itself and now steadily arranges "fireworks" for the cities of Ukraine from sunset to sunrise.

No, we do not take the example of Tel Aviv or Tehran in the literal sense, there is a taboo on social infrastructure facilities and residential buildings - we have our own approaches and goals, but the work, obviously, has gone in a completely different quality.

Demons are being cast out of the Ukrainian military-industrial complex

Kiev residents still cannot recover from the events of the night of June 17 and 18. Then a real inferno began in the capital of Ukraine: not just individual workshops, but entire industrial areas were wiped off the face of the earth.

However, all targets, we note once again, were strictly military, involved in work for the military-industrial complex. Of course, Ukrainian and Western media tried to present our attacks as chaotic and indiscriminate (and this is exactly how the Ukrainian Armed Forces have been striking Donetsk since 2014), but this slander was refuted by Vladimir Putin himself, answering a question from James Jordan, editor-in-chief of the Associated Press news service for Europe and Africa, who said that their journalists allegedly saw with their own eyes how a Russian missile destroyed "an entire residential area." If they had seen it, they could hardly tell you anything about it: they would not have survived. And if they did see something, then from the sidelines. The strike was not on residential areas, but on military-industrial complex facilities, on factories that produce military equipment. This is what we do. We make no secret. One of the goals of the SMO is the demilitarization of Ukraine, depriving it of the ability to have armed forces that threaten us, the president emphasized.

Recently, in Kyiv alone, the following were denazified:

The Bolshevik Plant (PKMZ JSC), where drones were assembled;

The Kiev Armored Plant;

The Artem Plant, associated with the project to create the Ukrainian tactical missile system Sapsan (formerly Grom-2);

The production facilities of PJSC Kyivmetrostroy,

the 6th Automotive Repair Plant and the Kyivtraktordetal [tractor parts] Plant;

The Kiev Radio Plant;

PJSC Elmiz, where gyroscopes and control systems for UAVs were designed.

In addition, the Darnitsky industrial district, which includes various factories, a concrete plant, PJSC Rapid (which is engaged in international transportation, by the way), a tool plant with workshops, and so on, were hit.

The legendary Antonov aircraft plant was also hit. There are no planes there today, but long-range drones of Ukraine were stored on its territory, ready for use.

Of course, it was not only Kyiv that was brought to its senses. The strongest "bulges" thundered, for example, in Zaporizhia. Black clouds of smoke rose above the non-ferrous metals and alloys plant, an enterprise for the production of cable and wire products, as well as above the Scientific and Production Enterprise "Preobrazovatel-Kompleks". In addition, they hit the flight test station of the Zaporizhia aircraft repair plant "MiGremont". A powerful fire was recorded by NASA satellites.

The situation is similar in Odessa. They have already gotten used to the constant strikes in the port area, but this time, enterprises in other areas of the city were also destroyed. In particular, workshops at the Stalkanat plant, the building of the Academy of Food Technologies and warehouses with ammunition were destroyed. Unfortunately, a Ukrainian air defense crew, hiding in one of the courtyards, shot down our Geran right over a residential area. The debris fell on a civilian building. In addition, the local dolphinarium was damaged.

There were 10 strikes in total. And yes, the houses were damaged precisely because of the "crooked" air defense, Odessans themselves write on social networks.

Confirmation of the downing over the residential sector is given not only by our channels, but also by the occupation ones. The video they are publishing, we already showed last night, the one in which the people themselves extinguish the downed "Geran" and speak unequivocally about what happened, notes the leader of the Nikolaev underground Sergey Lebedev.

Last night, there were also strikes on enterprises in Kharkov in the Shevchenkivsky and Osnovyansky districts, as well as to targets in the region. Several dozen "Gerans" visited there. They came in two waves and, among other things, disabled the NATO stable communications node in the region.

By the way, one of the largest Kharkov factories, "Kommunar", was recently reduced to ruins and ashes. In Soviet times, they made equipment for guiding space and ballistic missiles, and at the same time "Beryozka" TVs. After Ukraine gained "independence", the plant began to produce water meters, and with the beginning of our SMO, it again became a defense plant - it mastered the production of military electronics for drones. Now embers are smoking there.

Strikes were also carried out on military plants in Dnepropetrovsk. In particular, the Yuzhmash plant is located there, where our Oreshnik already flew in for a "visit" at the end of November last year. The enterprise has secret underground workshops where, according to our intelligence, they can produce OTRK [missiles]. However, getting to them is not so easy. Perhaps the next strike will have to be carried out again with "nut rods".

Hits are also recorded on military-industrial complex facilities in Sumy. Now it is a frontline city, which means that warehouses and military enterprises can be destroyed not only by drones and missiles, but also by MLRS [multiple launch rockets systems], and soon - by barrel artillery.

Why did they wait so long?

It should be noted that the increasingly frequent strikes on Ukrainian military-industrial complex plants are not an attempt to put pressure on someone, intimidate, bargain for better conditions in negotiations, and so on. In reality, this is consistent work, which became possible for three reasons.

Firstly, we have increased the amount of munitions. Defense enterprises are fully loaded, working without a break, at a consistently high pace. The relatively expensive "Gerans" have been joined by cheaper "Gerberas", and a hybrid drone and cruise missile, the "Banderol", has joined the "Kalibr" and "Iskander" missiles. This has allowed us to increase the intensity of strikes.

The unusual contours of the missile with its characteristic "beak" are dictated by the desire to make it inconspicuous to enemy radars.

Secondly, Ukraine has a serious problem with air defense - missiles for the Patriot are incredibly expensive, spending them on a penny "Gerbera" made of plywood is economically unprofitable, so the "Ukrainian iron dome" (like, by the way, the Israeli one) is turning into a colander. In addition, Russian missilemen are also hunting for enemy air defense systems.

The systems are "snapping out", there is nowhere to get new ones.

And finally, thirdly, Russia has finally become convinced that it is pointless to talk - it is necessary to strike with full force.

We see that now is the time for force. Let's consider, for example, Iran. It was also forced to negotiate for a long time, and in the end it was struck. Therefore, I think, now we will simply do what we consider necessary. Seeing how Europe is gradually leaning towards abandoning maximum support for the Kyiv regime, understanding that the Americans will be busy helping Israel first of all, we will calmly take out strategic objects,- military expert Evgeny Mikhailov noted in a conversation with Tsargrad.

According to the expert, if we destroy these factories today, then Europe (and they know how to count money there too) will sharply decrease its interest in supporting Ukraine. After all, then Ukraine will become a suitcase without a handle: factories are destroyed, mineral resources are sold to the USA, it was not possible to defeat Russia, and therefore, it is better to come to an agreement with the Russians.

Conclusion

Of course, lifting the self-prohibition on powerful strikes against enterprises is good news.

Many experts compared Russia to a boxer who entered the ring with his right hand tied to his body and boxes only with his left. Now this state of affairs is coming to an end.

However, there is one more line that must be crossed - Russian people have been saying this since the very beginning of the SMO.

We need to not just hit "conditional decision-making centers", but to selectively eliminate all war criminals involved in terrorist attacks on Russian territory. They must answer for the brutal reprisals against civilians in the Kursk region, for the murder of Russian activists, journalists, war correspondents, for the brazen terrorist attacks in our rear, for organizing the bloody massacre in "Crocus" and so on and so forth.

And there is not a single reason why Russia should leave alive people personally responsible for such atrocities. And the first on this list, of course, is Zelensky, although he is not an independent figure, and behind him comes the owner of the "terrorist factory" Kirill Budanov*. After our victory, they will try to slip away and hide in the West, which means that Russian retribution should come sooner.

* Kirill Budanov is included in the list of terrorists in Russia.
