WSJ: Israel Seeks to End Conflict with Iran Quickly

BlockBeats News, June 23rd, according to WSJ report, officials said Israel continues to strike Iran's military infrastructure but is seeking to end the war with Iran as soon as possible. Meanwhile, International Atomic Energy Agency Director General Grossi said the US attack on Iran's Fordo uranium enrichment facility is expected to have caused "very significant damage."

One of the Iranian targets struck by Israel is a prison holding political prisoners and regime opponents. Tehran's response to the US attack on its nuclear facilities has revealed little clues. The clerical leaders of the Iranian regime face a dangerous choice: retaliating against the US could escalate the war with two militarily stronger adversaries, or returning to nuclear negotiations, where they may have to make concessions on nuclear enrichment and ballistic missile arsenals — the two pillars of national sovereignty.

In what appears to be his first comments after the US attack, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, on the X platform, did not mention the US but focused on Israel. He stated that Israel made a "serious mistake" and is "now being punished."
