"Ali returns to Khaybar": Khamenei's tweet raises concerns in the Jewish community in Iran.
 +
June 20, 2025
 +
 +
Khamenei's new tweet hinting at the extermination of Jews as Ali did in Khaibar marks a dangerous escalation and raises concerns that the Jewish community in Iran is in clear danger.
 +
 +
([https://i0.wp.com/jcpa.org.il/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/GtrTeecXgAAuBGY1-e1750409221646.jpg?resize=1024%2C576&ssl=1].
 +
The image that accompanied the tweet by Iran's leader, Khamenei, in which he threatened the Jewish community (X Network).
 +
 +
The Jewish community in Iran received a chilling reminder of its insecurity when, on June 16, 2025, at the same time as ballistic missiles were launched at Israel, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei posted a post on Twitter that included a poem threatening to recreate the massacre of Jews in Khaybar. The tweet, posted during the missile launch, included a poem in Persian that, translated into Hebrew, reads: "Ali will return to Khaybar with his Zulfiqar."
 +
 +
([https://jcpa.org.il/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%95%D7%A5.jpg].
 +
The tweet published by the Supreme Leader of Iran.June 16, 2025)
 +
 +
The "Ali" mentioned in the poem is Imam Ali, the first Shiite Imam, son-in-law and cousin of the Prophet Muhammad. "Zulfiqar" is Ali's famous sword, described as a double-edged sword. "Khaybar" refers to a Jewish fortress in the Arabian Peninsula, near Medina, that was captured by the Islamic army. All of its male Jewish inhabitants were executed by Ali himself using the sword of Zulfiqar.
 +
 +
It can be understood from the new post that this is an unprecedented "step up." In fact, the Supreme Leader of Iran, whose name is also Ali, is hinting at his own intentions. Just as Imam Ali killed, according to the stories, all the male Jews in Khaybar with his sword – so Khamenei now intends, using missiles, to "do what Ali did in Khaybar" – that is, to kill all the Jews.
 +
 +
It should also be noted that this is the first time, at least implicitly, that Khamenei has expressed hatred not only for "Zionists" - but for 'Jews' in general. This can be understood from the fact that the residents of ancient Khyber were Jews and not Zionists. This also raises "grave concerns" for the lives of Jews living in Iran, who could become targets for hostile actions by the regime, especially if it feels that it has reached a state of "all-out war."

‘Rising Lion’: IAF strikes key military, nuclear targets in Tehran.
 +
More than 60 fighter jets attacked dozens of military targets across the Iranian capital.

(June 20, 2025 / JNS)
 +
The Israeli Air Force carried out a series of strikes in central Tehran overnight Thursday, targeting critical military infrastructure, including missile production sites and a facility linked to Iran’s nuclear weapons research and development efforts.
 +
 +
More than 60 IAF fighter jets, guided by intelligence from the IDF Intelligence Directorate, attacked dozens of sites across the Iranian capital, deploying approximately 120 precision-guided munitions.
 +
 +
As part of its campaign to disrupt Iran’s nuclear weapons program, the IDF targeted the Tehran headquarters of the SPND (Organization of Defensive Innovation and Research). The facility is used to develop advanced technologies and weapons that enhance the Iranian regime’s military capabilities.
 +
Founded in 2011 by Mohsen Fakhrizadeh—the key architect of Iran’s nuclear program—the SPND has been a central player in the country’s defense innovation..

Inside 'Operation Narnia': How Israeli intelligence targeted key Iranian nuclear scientists.
 +
In a striking twist, the operation targeting Iran’s nuclear scientists is known as "Narnia" in Israel, a name that reflects the operation’s improbable nature.
 +
 +
Israel’s Mossad operation to eliminate Iranian’s top nuclear scientists is named “Operation Narnia.”

Nuclear scientists were instantly eliminated in their beds: Behind "Operation Narnia" | Exposition.
 +
It is likely that the Iranian scientists felt "immunity" inside their homes, and were eliminated at that exact second in their beds. • Their becoming "targets" and the decision to eliminate them with an opening strike were made last November. • The alarm that woke up the entire country was raised the moment the first missile hit Iranian territory. • Intelligence officials: "This is the most important operation of all the operations we have carried out."

The operation to eliminate nuclear scientists: About a week ago, Iran woke up to an unprecedented Israeli operation. One of the main focuses that night, perhaps the most important, was the attack on Iranian nuclear scientists. Tonight (Thursday) in the "Main Edition" we revealed new details from the operation, which was codenamed "Operation Narnia". The goal of the operation is to eliminate 10 nuclear scientists in the opening blow, along with the attacks on the Natanz facility, surface-to-air missiles, and more.

Aviva Klompas @AvivaKlompas:
 +
💥 This is mind blowing. In a stunning opening strike dubbed Operation Narnia, Israel killed 9 of Iran’s 10 top nuclear scientists simultaneously as they slept in their beds. Not to leave anyone behind, the tenth was eliminated hours later.
 +
 +
The assassinations were carried out using a classified weapon, as part of a wider operation targeting Iran’s ballistic missile program, the Natanz nuclear facility, and key military leadership.
 +
 +
According to senior Israeli officials, the simultaneous strikes were designed to prevent any warning or escape and send a message: ISRAEL WILL FIND YOU.
 +
 +
Israeli intelligence had been tracking the scientists for years. Officials say this was the most critical piece of the operation. Military hardware and commanders can be replaced—but the expertise these scientists held could take decades to rebuild.

A suspect is in custody after allegedly threatening to carry out a mass shooting at a San Antonio Jewish site, the San Antonio Police Department stated on Thursday.
 +
 +
The FBI’s field office in the city stated that it received information on Wednesday night that someone “may have been planning to conduct a mass shooting at a Jewish cultural enrichment center.”
 +
 +
The bureau worked with the San Antonio police to investigate, and Jewish communal leaders were notified, it said. “Additional protocols were implemented to ensure the safety and security of the Jewish community here in San Antonio,” it stated.
 +
 +
“An individual believed to be associated with this has been located by the FBI in another state and the investigation is continuing to determine the veracity of the threat information,” it said. It added that it doesn’t believe there to be an imminent threat to San Antonio’s Jewish community.
 +
 +
“Antisemitism has no place in San Antonio, and we’ll take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of our Jewish neighbors,” stated Gina Ortiz Jones, the city’s mayor.
