Drop Site

NEW: A senior Iranian official has told Drop Site that Trump’s war was anticipated in Tehran and that the country is prepared for a sustained confrontation. He said: ➤ “We had anticipated that unlawful and aggressive attacks by the United States and Israel were far more probable than the acceptance of a fair and effective agreement.” ➤ “For this very reason, the military and political posture of the country had been carefully planned and structured for precisely such circumstances.” ➤ “The assassination or elimination of Iranian political and military officials will have no impact on the continuity and authority of the Iranian system.” ➤ On the U.S. deception operation: “Once again, diplomacy has been reduced to an instrument of deception, and international law has been openly disregarded by the United States.” ➤ On regional silence: “The failure of countries in the region—especially those hosting American military bases—to condemn this criminal U.S.-Israeli attack on Iran is deeply regrettable.” “This is not merely an Iranian matter; it is a matter concerning the entire region.” ➤ On U.S. troops stationed in Gulf states, he warned: “It is certain that American soldiers stationed in the region will not return home alive.” ➤ On the strike that hit a girls’ elementary school in Minab in southern Iran, killing 86 people according to Iranian media: “The targeting of civilian infrastructure—such as schools and hospitals—in the city of Minab sends a clear message to all: in this criminal aggression, the attackers recognize no red lines and evidently intend to shed a great deal of the blood of the noble people of our country.” Drop Site is continuing to track the regional fallout, congressional response, and the escalating military confrontation.
