💠 Teams affiliated with anti-revolutionary groups preparing the grounds for enemy military attacks were identified and destroyed.
🔹 The Intelligence Organization of the IRGC announced that during a series of operations carried out in the provinces of Kurdistan and Kermanshah, several teams affiliated with anti-revolutionary groups, supported by the United States and the Zionist regime, who were preparing the grounds for enemy military attacks from the west of the country, were identified and destroyed.
The main points are as follows:🔹 The Intelligence Organization of Kurdistan Province reached the following results through complex intelligence operations;
- Destruction of several organizational cells of Kurdish separatist groups, arrest of 11 individuals, elimination of one person, and discovery of 8 RPG war weapons and more than 2000 related ammunition rounds.
- Discovery and intelligence strike on the headquarters of one of the terrorist groups in the region, uncovering 90 bomb detonators, 18 grenades, 5 mortar shells, 1253 rounds of various weapons ammunition, 6 rifle grenades, and radio communication devices.
- Arrest of 73 individuals affiliated with anti-revolutionary groups active domestically.
- Destruction of a smuggling team and discovery of 10 Kalashnikov rifles, 2250 rounds of war ammunition, 2 hunting rifles, 7 RPGs, 90 explosive detonators, and several satellite internet devices.
🔹 The Intelligence Organization of Kermanshah Province, in its covert operations, identified and arrested 155 agents of anti-revolutionary groups as follows:
- Arrest of 144 individuals in several teams for illegal arms trading and discovery of 17 weapons and 1200 rounds of ammunition.
- Arrest of 4 spies linked to Mossad and discovery of significant amounts of weapons, pellets, gunpowder, detonators, equipment, and devices used in making pellet ammunition.
These individuals had been encouraged by Mossad for their actions.
- Identification and arrest of 7 separatist elements active in making homemade bombs and purchasing illegal weapons aimed at attacking government and military sites.
In my opinion, the White House and US media are lying about direct negotiation plans between Iran and the Trump regime - so they can later dishonestly claim Iran broke its promises, helping “justify” further aggression to the American people.
The Islamic Republic is prepared.

💠 The frontline strike against America is a financial war!
🔹 Qalibaf, in response to news about the restriction on bond sales by the UAE and Arab countries, wrote on his X account: Currency swap lines, according to the US Treasury Secretary, have been activated to “prevent the irregular sale of US assets” by Arab countries. This news means that some bondholders cannot freely sell their shares and have been restricted by the US from selling their assets!
🔹 The Speaker of the Parliament referred to the sensitivity of the US financial system to bond sales and added: In fact, there is an unwritten sales ceiling that government and institutional investors are obliged to observe. If the situation worsens, the sale of these shares will be completely closed!
🔹 Qalibaf warned the holders of these bonds: Sell your bonds while you still have the chance. Their frontline is actually the bond yield curve.
💠 Hamas: The intensification of the Zionists’ bloody actions in Gaza is a full-scale war crime
🔹 The Hamas movement, in response to the Zionist crimes in the Gaza Strip, announced: The brutal bombing by the Zionist regime, which since this morning (Friday) has targeted all areas of the Gaza Strip and resulted in the martyrdom of more than 10 people, is an intensification of bloody Zionist actions and a full-scale war crime.
🔹 Hamas emphasized: The escalation of attacks and killings in Gaza by the criminal Netanyahu regime clearly shows the failure of mediators, guarantors, and the international community in restraining the Zionist brutal killing machine against the Palestinian people.

Entire neighborhoods in South Lebanon are being erased… my hometown, Khiam, reduced to rubble before the world’s indifferent gaze. And what do our incompetent president and prime minister do? Bow, submit, and grovel for approval at Trump and Netanyahu’s feet while their own people are buried under debris. This is a disgrace. A nation abandoned by those entrusted to defend it. We will remember very well who stood firm to protect us and who chose humiliation over dignity.
Is this from your perspective? If so, sorry to hear that.
Nope. This is the perspective from Marwa Osman. A lebanese from South Lebanon.
I am sharing it here so people can see how much pain the lebanese are feeling due to their traitorous gov’t.
I hate to see this. It’s easy to say from over here where I’m safe but the Lebanese shouldn’t allow this. They’ll be Palestine in a decade or two if they don’t build up deterrence.
🇮🇷 “The Iranian foreign minister will not hold any negotiations with the Trump regime in Islamabad and will merely convey Iran’s considerations and views regarding the end of the war to the Pakistani side. This meeting is a response to General Asim Munir’s trip to Tehran, and I have been informed that no negotiations with any Americans are planned during this visit.” - Professor Marandi
🇮🇷🇺🇸| According to Raja News, quoting Iranian officials, negotiations with the US, under current circumstances and conditions, have been forbidden by the Iranian Leader.
🇺🇸 Trump has slapped sanctions on a major Chinese oil refinery and around 40 shipping firms and tankers moving Iranian crude — following through on his threat to hit anyone doing business with Tehran.
The move is part of Washington’s escalating campaign to strangle Iran’s oil revenues.
I can’t wait to see the retaliation.
Iran slaps Trump in the face with the back of someone’s hand.
Watch this so you know who is truly defending us… who our men are… the Israeli enemy tries to break us with these scenes… But instead, it revealed something else entirely: how steadfast these young men are, how deeply rooted they stand in their land.
When you see them, you understand just how profoundly the Lebanese authorities have failed their people. This is what strength in negotiation looks like… this resilience, this unshakable faith.
They fight for me and for you until their very last breath.
Zionist Israel released this footage from Bint Jbeil to break us but by God, it filled us with pride. These heroes make us feel capable of reaching the moon.
We bow our heads in reverence to you 💛💛💛

Warning: the video shares the last moments of some brave Hezbollah fighters. It is NSFW.
That looked like close quarter combat and they bombed the whole building, including friendlies!?
They would have pulled everyone out first presumably. However I’m seeing some people say on telegram this might be old footage from Palestine
🇺🇸 CENTCOM:
For the first time in decades, three aircraft carriers are operating in the Middle East at the same time. Accompanied by their carrier air wings, the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72), USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN 78) and USS George H.W. Bush (CVN 77) include over 200 aircraft and 15,000 Sailors and Marines.
“Operating?” the ford is in Cyprus for repairs for the next year and a half. Their toilets and laundry driers became Hamas. Do they think we forgot?
🔥 Hezbollah shot down a Zionist Hermes 450 drone with a surface-to-air missile over the city of Tyre.
You got a ‘Buy me a coffee’ or something I could sponsor you with? You’re doing such impressive work in these threads I wish I could show gratitude in more ways than just saying ‘thank you’.
Thank you for your kind words! With the upvotes, it is enough for me.

🇮🇷🇺🇸| The seized Iranian “TOSKA” ship by the US Navy carried dialysis supplies and vital medical equipment for Iranian civilians.
Before, the US claimed its blockade would not seize/stop ships that transported food or medical equipment, well that turns out to be an outright lie.
