Katz on the war with Iran: A hurricane is sweeping through Tehran
6/18/2025
Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz confirmed on Wednesday that Tehran is currently experiencing a hurricane sweeping across the Iranian capital.
"A hurricane is sweeping through Tehran, symbols of power are being bombed and are collapsing, and soon other targets will follow, with large numbers of people fleeing. This is how dictatorships fall," Katz said in a post on Twitter.
He added, "He must remember the fate that befell the dictator of Iran's neighbor (Iraq) who dealt in this manner against Israel."
According to The Times of Israel, Katz's comment points to a potential collapse of the Iranian regime, as strikes continue targeting key government, military, and nuclear facilities across Iran.
The Middle East is witnessing a dangerous military escalation, with Iran and Israel exchanging missile and drone attacks from dawn last Friday through Wednesday.
Despite repeated calls from the international community to halt the war between the two sides, the missile strikes continue.
FIREFLY:Television says we have the largest amount of foreign currency reserves and we are about to enter an economic boom.
FRANK: IMO the currency reserves are set. They are primed for at least $3.00 rate IMO in order to float internationally, not so much at 1 to 1 anymore. That's the only way they have the audacity/right to say Iraq is about to enter an economic boom because even 1 to 1 is not enough for that economic boom but it sure is a good start.

I haven't been in the Iraqi dinar for 22 years but I have been around for a long time. I've seen the progress and that's what keeps me focused. It's a complex situation.
It's been a long process. It's been tiresome. Things have changed. Look at the new digital transformation that have taken place...the new technology...the new Swift system...ISO 2022.
We didn't have all that. They didn't have the transparency..
.anti-corruption...anti-money laundering laws...currency manipulation laws.
They didn't have any of that but now they do. Now you're starting to see all of these things are really truly coming together and it's beautiful to see it.

President Donald Trump said Wednesday evening that the Iranian regime could fall during the ongoing war with Israel. While he revealed that Tehran had requested a meeting at the White House for negotiations, he confirmed that he had not made a final decision to participate in a war against Iran.

Trump continued, "I have not made a final decision about participating in a strike on Iran, and I have some ideas."
In response to a question about the existence of a plan for the aftermath of the fall of the Iranian regime, Trump stated, "The fall of the current regime in Iran may happen. We have a plan for everything, but we have to wait and see what happens." He also indicated that "Israel is doing well in its war with Iran."
The US President continued, saying, "It is still possible to reach an agreement with Iran regarding the nuclear issue. The Iranians want to come, but it is too late, and they cannot leave Iran because of the missiles that are falling on them."
He explained, "I believe Iran was only a few weeks away from possessing a nuclear weapon," stressing, "We do not want to engage in a war with Iran, and it must not possess a nuclear weapon."
He concluded by saying, "I discussed the Iranian issue with the Pakistani Army Chief of Staff. I don't want to fight, but the choice is between fighting or Iran obtaining nuclear weapons. We are not looking for a ceasefire, but rather a complete victory."
