23.06.2025 ⇢ The day Iran struck back
⌨
Iran's Foreign Minister Araghchi arrived in Moscow for urgent talks with Putin following the previous day's US nuclear strikes. The Kremlin indicated it would not rule out military support for Iran, with Putin condemning the attacks as "unprovoked aggression." Russian outlets reported Iran's supreme leader Khamenei had sent a personal message to Putin requesting assistance.
By late afternoon, Iran launched "Operation Good News of Victory," firing at least six ballistic missiles at US military bases in Qatar and Iraq. Russian media provided extensive coverage as explosions occurred over Doha, with Qatar's air defenses reportedly intercepting the barrage. Russia's aviation authority immediately restricted flights over the region.
The Investigation Committee concluded its probe into the Crocus Hall terrorist attack, now attributing it to Ukrainian interests rather than the previously blamed Islamic State. Trump reportedly responded to Medvedev's nuclear threats, while prosecutors requested 14.5 years for former Deputy Defense Minister Ivanov on embezzlement charges.
