💠 Message from Hezbollah fighters addressed to Sheikh Naim Qassem: We will continue the battle until the end of the occupation
🔹 The fighters of the Islamic Resistance of Lebanon, in a message addressed to Sheikh Naim Qassem, Secretary-General of Hezbollah, reaffirmed their allegiance and emphasized the continuation of operations until the end of the occupation by the Zionist regime.
🔹 The resistance fighters in this message expressed gratitude for Sheikh Naim Qassem’s letter and described it as a sign of his fatherly care and exemplary leadership towards the frontline forces.
🔹 The letter states that the resistance fighters target the Zionist army’s weapons, vehicles, and tanks daily, giving the regime’s soldiers “lasting lessons.”
🔹 The authors of this message stressed that the resistance will not allow the occupiers to stabilize in southern Lebanon and that operations will continue until Israel withdraws from Lebanese territory.
🇺🇸The US Central Command claims:
Earlier today in the Gulf of Oman, US Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit seized the commercial oil ship M/T Celestial Sea, which was flying the Iranian flag, and which was suspected of attempting to violate the US blockade by heading towards an Iranian port.
The US forces released the ship after inspecting it and ordering the ship’s crew to change its course.
I guess they realized that seizing ships means they have to actually take them somewhere.
🇮🇷| IRGC forces in Hormozgan have so far neutralized 850+ unexploded items left from the Ramadan war, including:

Dr. Qalibaf:
🔹 The enemy’s overt and covert movements show that they are seeking a new round of war.
🔹 The people can be assured that our military forces have used the ceasefire opportunity in the best way to rebuild their capabilities.
🔹 We will make the enemy regret any renewed aggression against Iran.
🔹 Ensuring the stable supply of essential goods must be the top priority of all officials.
🔹 With jihadi management and maintaining cohesion and unity under the guidance of the dear Leader of the Revolution, these conditions can turn into an opportunity to further strengthen national solidarity.
🔹 By the blessing of the blood of our martyred Leader and other martyrs, and with the support of the appointed nation, it is the people of Iran who, by winning this war, will gift a independent, united, powerful, and advanced Iran to their future generations.
⭐️Reuters:
Some ships pay Iran more than $150,000 to guarantee passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
The fees for ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz are not imposed on all countries.
The new Iranian mechanism in the Strait of Hormuz gives priority to ships associated with Russia and China.
"The affiliation document" that ships are required to provide in exchange for passing through Hormuz confirms their lack of ties with America or Tel Aviv.
Countries wishing to have their ships pass through the Strait of Hormuz must contact the Iranian Foreign Minister.

A new report from the UN Human Rights office today said Israel has imposed “on Palestinians conditions of life increasingly incompatible with their continued existence in Gaza as a group.”
It got no media attention.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 On the Next US Attack on Iran…
A US war of aggression is like a rocket launch. It depends on a multitude of factors being ready or “go” for launch.
If any critical system is not ready at a particular time, then the launch is scrubbed and rescheduled for the next available window.
Trump isn’t in charge of anything and makes zero decisions - except (maybe) the color tie he wears. He is not setting dates or conditions for attacks. He simply sells these decisions to the public.
US war against Iran has been planned and prepared for over decades and will “launch” when the unelected corporate interests actually driving US policy say it is “go,” based on conditions within material reality - not on an “elected” politician’s whims.
These conditions likely include available stockpiles, rates of replaced munitions, force postures (both US and Iranian), economic factors, etc.
Iran and its allies are even able to change these considerations by introducing additional means of deterrence that complicate US objectives necessitating additional preparations by the US to overcome such deterrence.
Many of these factors are secretive - all we can say for certain is that the US does not seek peace and will eventually restart hostilities, it is only a matter of “when.”
The purpose of further US attacks would be to provoke further degradation of regional energy exports (not just Iranian energy exports) to further cut off China and the rest of Asia, and enhance the ongoing US blockade of Iran.
Yes, the ultimate goal is toppling Iran’s government but there are many more immediate objectives and wider global objectives the US is pursuing as it targets any one single nation for eventual regime change.
Again, US policy is not dictated by figureheads like Trump or Hegseth.
It is directed by continuity of agenda and the interests behind it - the same interests behind Iraq, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, and Iran, spanning multiple US presidential administrations…

Pahlavists get fucked.
🇺🇸- After eight attempts, the U.S. Senate has finally advanced a War Powers Resolution limiting military activities in Iran, passing it by a vote of 50-47. Four Republicans voted in favor: Susan Collins, Bill Cassidy, Lisa Murkowski, and Rand Paul, while Democrat John Fetterman broke with his party to vote against.

🇺🇸- The resolution will now proceed to a full Senate vote. If it passes there, it moves to the House of Representatives, where it would need to pass as well.
➡️ If both chambers pass it, it then goes to Donald Trump, who would almost certainly veto it given his position on the Iran conflict.
➡️ To override a presidential veto, both the Senate and the House would need a two-thirds majority, a very high bar that would require a significant number of Republicans to break with Trump, which is considered unlikely given the current political climate.

US democracy in action.
It’s hilarious because even if it got through, through some miracle, the Trump administration would just ignore it anyway. lmao
Garbage democracy at work. All useless theater, but the imperialist machine will carry on.

Disgusting genocidal pig.
Iran’s MFA had this to say:
🇺🇸Trump: Everyone tells me that a war against Iran is unpopular, but I think it’s very popular. When they hear that it’s about nuclear weapons capable of destroying Los Angeles, when we explain it to people - I don’t have enough time to explain it to them.

“People tell me raping kids is unpopular, but I think they’d find it very popular, if I tell them that if we don’t rape these kids, the Earth will explode. I just don’t have time to explain to them that not raping kids will destroy the planet.”
