🚨 Iran–Israel War Explodes: Hospital Hit & Khamenei Threatened! 🚨

TL;DR: Iran launched a missile strike on Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba on June 19, 2025, injuring over 240 people despite preemptive evacuations. Israel responded with heavy airstrikes on Iranian nuclear & military facilities, prompting threats to assassinate Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. The U.S. is mulling intervention within two weeks, while international diplomacy in Geneva offers a slim hope of de-escalation.

💥 Hospital Under Fire, Lives at Risk

On June 19, Iran fired a Sejjil ballistic missile at Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, injuring around 240 people, as clinic staff and patients had wisely evacuated most vulnerable people underground just before impact. The attack is being widely condemned as a war crime by Israeli officials.

🎯 Israel Strikes Back

Israel retaliated with powerful air raids on Iranian nuclear and military targets, including the Arak heavy-water reactor, Natanz, Isfahan conversion plant, and IRGC command centers. Satellite data indicates around 30% of Iran’s missile launchers have been destroyed.

🗣️ Threats to Khamenei

Defence Minister Israel Katz declared Khamenei “can no longer be allowed to exist,” accusing him of ordering hospital strikes & threatening him directly. Netanyahu echoed this sentiment, stating the mission could include eliminating Iran’s supreme leader.

🇺🇸 U.S. Possibly Enters the Fray

Former U.S. President Donald Trump said a decision on a U.S. strike could be made “within two weeks,” while the U.S. military presence in the region is being reconsidered.

🕯️ Casualties & Fallout

  • Iran reports roughly 657–693 dead, including civilians and senior IRGC commanders.

  • Israel reports around 24 civilian deaths and over 240 injuries.

🌐 Diplomatic Fizzles and Flashpoints

While Iran’s internet remains mostly shut down, diplomats from Europe and Western nations plan emergency talks in Geneva—though Tehran insists strikes must stop first. Russia, UK, France, China and others urge calm; Russia warned assassination attempts would “open Pandora’s Box” .

🔍 MediaFx POV: A Worker’s Lens

MediaFx emphasizes that this war heavily impacts ordinary folks—not just frontline casualties but patients, families, and common workers in hospitals who face death for no fault. The elite’s threats, including those against Khamenei, signal a push for regime change rather than peace. We stand firmly with workers and peasants in both nations crying out for peace, justice, and solidarity ✊💔. Escalation driven by imperialist rivalries and nuclear-armed elites must be opposed—what we need is unity across borders, not bombs.
