Irán busca teñir de épica el cese del fuego con Israel y anuncia que avanzará con su desarrollo nuclear

Como sucedió con cada guerra de la historia, lo discursivo ha tenido un rol fundamental para sostener apoyos públicos, estrategias o, inclusive, gobiernos. La desde ahora llamada “guerra de los 12 días” entre Irán e Israel no es la excepción, motorizado aún más por el uso de redes sociales y la tecnología que permitir distribuir un mensaje en cuestión de segundos alrededor del mundo.
Es así como, en este contexto, Israel exclama que logró su principal objetivo de detener el desarrollo nuclear iraní, Estados Unidos se cuelga la medalla de alcanzar la paz en tiempo récord e Irán festeja con miles de personas en el centro de Teherán lo que considera un triunfo ante el ejército israelí.

“Hoy, tras la heroica resistencia de nuestra gran nación asistimos al establecimiento de una tregua y al fin de esta guerra de 12 días impuesta por Israel”, declaró el presidente de Irán, Masud Pezeshkian, en una plaza del centro de la capital frente a una imagen del líder supremo, el ayatolá Ali Jamenei, blanco de amenazas e hipótesis en los últimos días.

Esta convocatoria del Consejo de Coordinación de Propaganda no fue más que un intento de inundar de épica el cese del fuego alcanzado tras jornadas de intensos bombardeos que dañaron parte de la infraestructura nuclear iraní y golpeó a la cadena de mando militar por la muerte de los altos mandos y los ataques israelíes a distintas instalaciones militares.
“Consideramos esta operación como una victoria porque derrotamos a las fuerzas israelíes que no lograron su objetivo de derribar a nuestro gobierno”, esgrimió en diálogo con TN una fuente oficial con base en Teherán que pidió no dar a conocer su identidad. La continuidad de los ayatolas ha sido celebrada por los miembros de un gobierno teocrático que está al frente de Irán desde hace 46 años.

La cuestión nuclear fue el pretexto inicial de la operación militar de Israel y se transformará en el principal punto de discusión en el futuro. El presidente iraní Pezeshkian aseguró que están dispuestos a sentarse nuevamente en la mesa de negociación con el gobierno norteamericano para encontrar un acuerdo nuclear, aunque planteó que Irán “hará valer sus derechos”.
Hacer “valer los derechos” en el ideario persa significa que Teherán no aceptará una reducción de su uranio enriquecido a niveles mínimos como 0% o 5%. Algo es claro: el desarrollo nuclear iraní continuará. Puede que no sea en el corto plazo, pero empezará un proceso de reconstrucción de sus capacidades que le permitan volver, posiblemente, a los niveles previos.
Israel abatió a más de 20 científicos clave que participan en la investigación y desarrollo del programa nuclear, pero puertas adentro, los ayatolas confían en que las universidades y centros de formación científicos permitirán que nuevos expertos se formen en los próximos años. Esto demuestra que empieza una nueva carrera a largo plazo, con una solución de fondo que parece irresuelta en el conflicto con el estado judío.

Resta saber con precisión cuál fue el daño que tuvieron las instalaciones nucleares de Fordow, Natanz e Isfahán. Desde Washington manifestaron que habían generado un daño irreversible que haría que “Irán nunca tenga la bomba nuclear”, en palabras del propio presidente Trump, mientras que desde Teherán simplemente negaron estas exclamaciones pero no dieron datos concretos del estado de las instalaciones.
“Las medidas para la recuperación habían sido previstas de antemano y nuestra planificación consiste en no permitir ninguna interrupción en el proceso de producción y los servicios”, informó este martes el jefe de la Organización de Energía Atómica de Irán (OEAI), Mohamad Eslami, en una publicación del sitio oficial HispanTV.
Debiera ser una misión oficial del Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica (IAEA, por sus siglas en inglés), encabezado por el argentino Rafael Grossi, quien verifique el daño de las centrifugadoras y el proceso nuclear actual en el que se encuentra Irán.
Pero hoy los ayatolas parecen haberlo apuntado a Grossi, sobre quien emitieron hasta una amenaza por sus declaraciones previas al ataque de Israel, donde advertía por la rapidez con la que Irán podía acercarse a un enriquecimiento de uranio del 90%, lo necesario para obtener una ojiva nuclear. Irán se limitó a rechazar esta afirmación y aseguró que el uranio había sido trasladado a un lugar seguro previo al bombardeo de Estados Unidos.

Por último, Irán intenta expandir la sensación entre su población de que han logrado demostrar que “la cúpula de hierro no es invencible”. Las capacidades militares de Israel se saben superiores a las de cualquier otro país de la región, y sus sistemas de defensa han sido fundamentales para defender al país de reiterados ataques desde el exterior en los últimos años.
Según el gobierno de Netanyahu, hubo un 90% de intercepciones. Los que sortearon la defensa generaron daños nunca antes vistos en territorio israelí, sobre todo en la zona centro en Tel Aviv.
Las consecuencias de esta guerra de los 12 días posiblemente no queden expuestas en las próximas semanas, pero la región se ha enfrentado ante la mayor escalada de la historia entre sus dos principales potencias.

Congressman calls on Noem, Dr. Oz with plan to ‘swiftly remove’ 1.4 million illegal migrants on Medicaid

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, sent letters to two key agency heads with a plan to «swiftly» remove roughly 1.4 million illegal immigrants currently receiving Medicaid in the US.
«While Democrats in Congress continue to peddle falsehoods and fear-mongering over so-called ‘Medicaid cuts,’ they conveniently ignore a staggering truth: over 1.4 million illegal aliens are receiving Medicaid benefits, an unsustainable burden on the American taxpayer,» Hunt told Fox News Digital.
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz were both recipients of Rep. Hunt’s letter this week, which proposed a task force to «identify» and remove the illegal migrants on Medicaid.
Rep. Wesley Hunt joins Bill Maher on HBO, June 20, 2025.

«I’ve formally requested the Secretary of Homeland Security to establish a task force to identify those unlawfully exploiting our healthcare system and ensure they are swiftly removed from our country,» Hunt added.
The Texas Congressman’s comments come as President Donald Trump’s «One Big Beautiful Bill,» which includes a provision stripping illegal migrants from taxpayer-funded healthcare, faces last-minute changes in the Senate.
Fox News Digital obtained a document from the Congressional Budget Office sent to two GOP committee chairmen this week with information regarding the «One Big Beautiful Bill» that reads:
WHITE HOUSE SAYS CONGRESS DEBATING ‘FOOTNOTES’ ON ‘BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL,’ NOT EXPECTING MAJOR CHANGES
«About 1.4 million would be people who do not meet citizenship and immigration status requirements for Medicaid enrollment but who would be covered under current law in programs funded by the states.»

On Thursday, the Senate Parliamentarian moved to strike out current language in the legislation that would exclude illegal immigrants from Medicaid eligibility, but sources close to negotiations tell Fox News Digital that those portions of the bill are actively being re-drafted in an attempt to ensure they are included in the final draft of the bill.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-South Dakota, also addressed the parliamentarian’s decision to remove the portions about Medicaid to reporters Thursday morning.
TRUMP PRESSURES CONGRESS TO PASS ‘BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,’ INSISTING ‘NO ONE GOES ON VACATION UNTIL IT’S DONE’
«These are speed bumps along the way. We anticipated those and so we have contingency plans,» Thune explained. «Obviously, you have to adjust the timing and schedule a little bit, but we’re moving forward.»
Regardless of whether Medicaid is removed from the «One Big Beautiful Bill,» Congressman Hunt says that being able to identify the free healthcare-receiving illegal migrants alone is enough reason to remove them from the US.

«Through coordinated efforts between DHS and CMS, we can develop an effective approach to identify people based on financial data, residence, or medical records, and then take appropriate action against those violating our immigration laws,» Hunt’s letter to Noem and Dr. Oz reads.

Belarusian dissident thanks Trump admin for his freedom, demands the UN act

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE — Belarusian dissident Siarhei Tsikhanouski is free after spending more than five years as a political prisoner, and now he is calling for those still behind bars to be released.
In a video message played before the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on Thursday, Tsikhanouski makes a desperate plea for international intervention.
«I was tortured, I was held in solitary confinement, I was frozen. I wasn’t even given a pen to write a few words. For years, I didn’t receive a single letter, not even from my daughter. They filled my ears with lies and propaganda. They tried to convince me that everyone had forgotten me. What is happening in Belarusian prisons is not law enforcement. It is torture, abuse, and the destruction of human beings. People are literally being killed behind bars,» Tsikhanouski said in the video, which was provided to Fox News Digital by UN Watch.
Siarhei Tsikhanouski calls for international action in his video message to the United Nations.

Tsikhanouski credited the international community — especially the Trump administration — for his release, which was secured after U.S. Special Envoy on Ukraine and Russia Gen. Keith Kellogg met with Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko. In addition to Tsikhanouski, 13 other political prisoners were released through U.S. mediation.
The Belarusian dissident said in the video that he would not have made it out alive if it were not for «international solidarity» and «the efforts of the USA administration.»

FREED HOSTAGE EDAN ALEXANDER THANKS TRUMP IN EMOTIONAL PHONE CALL: ‘YOU SAVED MY LIFE’
In his first address as U.N. special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Belarus, Nils Muižnieks warned that, since Jan. 2025, the human rights situation has «continued to deteriorate.» He also noted that authorities in Belarus have abused «highly problematic» legislation, including a prohibition on insulting the president or other public officials.
«Belarus has a very large number of people behind bars who should not be there, including opposition politicians, human rights defenders, journalists, independent trade union activists, environmental defenders and lawyers,» Muižnieks said before Tsikhanouski’s video was played. He also described the ill-treatment of prisoners by Belarusian authorities.
After the council heard Tsikhanouski’s message, Muižnieks said that the recently-freed dissident’s words «carry extra weight.»
Following his release, Tsikhanouski was reunited with his wife, Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, and their children in Lithuania. Tsikhanouskaya is the exiled Belarusian opposition leader whom some countries recognize as the president-elect.
Tsikhanouskaya thanked President Donald Trump, Kellogg and the State Department for their efforts, which led to her husband’s freedom.
«My husband Siarhei is free! It’s hard to describe the joy in my heart,» Tsikhanouskaya wrote on X. «We’re not done. 1,150 political prisoners remain behind bars. All must be released.»

UN Watch Executive Director Hillel Neuer joined the call to see the remaining 1,150 prisoners gain their freedom.
«Siarhei Tsikhanouski is a symbol of courage who paid a heavy price for daring to challenge Lukashenko’s dictatorship. United Nations Watch is honored to give him the floor at the UN Human Rights Council just days after his release from prison. His voice, silenced by the regime for more than five years as he was tortured in jail, now speaks for millions of Belarusians who continue to demand freedom and human rights,» Neuer told Fox News Digital.
Neuer said Tsikhanouski’s message to the U.N. was «a direct challenge to the regimes that continue to silence their critics.»

Thursday, June 26, also marks the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. Tsikhanouskaya wrote on X to mark the occasion and shared a photo illustrating the effects that five years in prison had on her husband.
«Today is the International Day in Support of Victims of Torture. My husband survived five years of isolation and cruelty in the Belarus regime’s prisons. Many others still endure it. If we had given up, Siarhei wouldn’t be free. That’s why we keep going—until everyone is home,» Tsikhanouskaya wrote.
According to NPR, Tsikhanouski lost more than 41% of his body weight. He went into prison weighing 298 pounds but weighed just 174 pounds when he was released on June 21.
In response to a request for comment on Tsikhanouski’s statement, UN Human Rights Council spokesperson Pascal Sim directed Fox News Digital to a recording of the hearing, particularly Muižnieks’ remarks.
The U.N. Human Rights Office also directed Fox News Digital to Muižnieks’ statement.
