17.06.2025 ⇢ The Day Iran Struck Tel Aviv and Coalitions Crumbled
⌨

Iran launched ballistic missiles at Tel Aviv, causing fires and smoke throughout the metropolitan area as the Israel-Iran conflict entered its fifth day. Trump demanded Iran's "unconditional surrender" while holding urgent White House meetings about potential direct U.S. military involvement. American forces moved to highest alert status at Middle East bases as Iran threatened retaliation against U.S. installations.

Poland evacuated approximately 200 citizens from Israel using two government aircraft, reversing earlier plans for citizen-funded evacuation. The operation faced criticism over delayed response and initial coordination failures.

Domestically, the Trzecia Droga coalition collapsed definitively as PSL decided to run independently in future elections. Hołownia confirmed the split, stating the prospect of independent campaigning brought "political joy." The breakup followed weeks of tension over electoral strategy.

Meanwhile, leaked TV Republika recordings featuring Giertych continued generating mockery across Polish media, with critics calling them "the embarrassment of the decade." President Duda convened the National Security Council, inviting president-elect Nawrocki to participate.

Netanjahu nie tylko chce zniszczyć irański program atomowy. Chodzi też o ajatollahów

Irańska obrona przeciwlotnicza okazała się nieskuteczna przez co izraelskie lotnictwo może teraz właściwie bez przeszkód bombardować cele w całym kraju, nie tylko wojskowe, ale i infrastrukturę o znaczeniu strategicznym. Jednocześnie irańskie pociski tylko punktowo są w stanie sforsować Żelazną Kopułę – system obrony przeciwpowietrznej Izraela.
