| Birds-eye view of Parchin, Iran explosion as it happened 26JUN20 |
26 June 2020: Since this is so recent it's at the head of this SITREP. Early this morning a pair of massive explosions occurred at the IRGC's massive Parchin nuclear weapons and military-grade explosives production complex east of Tehran, Iran. The detonations were captured in still and video photography dramatically lighting up the sky. Reportedly there was an explosion at an electrical power plant which just slightly preceded the Parchin blast. Social media and MSM speculation is rampant, yet Eschatology Today believes that these events were both deliberate and directly related. Very likely sabotage by anti-regime operators.
At nearly the same time Iraqi government anti-terror forces raided a pro-Iranian militia (Kata'ib Hezbollah) headquarters arresting key leaders and seizing stores of rockets. The leaders were transferred into the custody of the Joint Operations Command (JOC). Intel has it that Kata'ib Hezbollah was preparing to fire the rockets at both Green Zone and Iraqi bases hosting US and Coalition forces. At last report Shi'a militia forces from southern provinces were arriving at the southern entrances to Baghdad,
The primary reason for this SITREP remains the approach of the Jordan Valley land annexation of Judea and Samaria to Israel. In preparation for expected resuming of combat operations the IDF has deployed Iron Dome and other defensive battalions around Gaza. HAMAS and the other factions have been testing their rockets into the Mediterranean Sea in recent weeks. HAMAS has declared that Israel's annexation plan is a "declaration of war" and reiterated its determination to liberate all of Palestine from Jewish occupation.
However, in Hebrew-language media (N12) there is a report that Jared Kushner has pressed Jerusalem to call off annexation of the Jordan Valley. It's report has Israel informing Mahmoud Abbas via Mossad chief Yossi Cohen and Jordan's King Hussein that the Jordan Valley will not be included in the planned annexation of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria on July 1st.
Bottom line: We'll see what actually transpires over the next several days.
