❗️Iran has issued a sharp rebuke to the United Kingdom and France following their announcement of a planned multinational military mission in the Strait of Hormuz. Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi took to social media to denounce the move, asserting that the strategic waterway is not a domain for the projection of force by external actors.
“The Strait of Hormuz is not a theatre for the military display of extra-regional powers,” Gharibabadi wrote in a post on X. He further cautioned that regional stability remains the mandate of local coastal states, explicitly warning that “the crisis-makers will be held accountable for the consequences of their adventurism; this is a serious warning.”

Let’s hope the idiotic “Reformists” change their view after hearing this

⭕️ 4,303 people have been killed and 12,202 injured in US-backed Israeli attacks on Lebanon since 2 March, according to the Lebanese Ministry of Health.
🇮🇷🇺🇸🇴🇲| Iran has completely closed the US-Omani designated maritime corridor that was used to bypass Iran’s authority over the Strait of Hormoz.
The constant USAF aerial presence did not stop Iran it seems.

❗️Marwan Barghouti to run for Palestinian presidency from Israeli prison
Expand
Marwan Barghouti, the veteran Fatah leader languishing in Israeli captivity for nearly 25 years, has signaled his determination to contest the next Palestinian presidential election. Sources close to the imprisoned figure confirmed to Sky News Arabia that Barghouti remains steadfast in his candidacy and has explicitly rejected any notion of withdrawing from the race should polls finally be held.
His potential run surfaces as the Ramallah-based Palestinian Authority faces intense pressure from western powers to move toward long-stalled elections. While current President Mahmoud Abbas has signaled a potential path for parliamentary and presidential ballots, the move is viewed by many as a calculated response to external demands rather than a genuine shift in the authority’s exclusionary governing style.
Barghouti continues to command significant public support across the occupied territories, frequently outperforming both the Fatah old guard and rival factions in polling. As his family reports escalating abuse and physical decline within Israeli detention, his supporters increasingly view him as a necessary figure to break the long-standing leadership vacuum and restore a sense of unified national direction.
🇮🇷Rear Admiral Ali Azmaei has been appointed the Commander in Chief of the Sepah Navy, by order of the Leader of the Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei.
He’s a veteran of the Iran-Saddam War, a naval asymmetric warfare specialist whose daring exploits alongside his contemporary Martyr Nader Mahdavi have become the stuff of legends.
@SimurghRes
I love the “daring exploits” language. DPRK also says this phrase a lot.
We are seeing Mojtaba Khamenei begin to appoint loyalists from the IRGC, which I think will do well to thwart and potential civil coups the reformists might be thinking of.
Do Reformists even have evough backing to attempt such an act? The assassination of Ayatullah Khamenai as well as the mass murder of those 180+ school girls has certainly turned the public against USA and any sort of compromise with it(as evidenced by the recent chants in the funeral procession of Ayatullah Khamenai). Any sort of coup now would be suicidal for them
I don’t think they could effectively mount a military coup, as they don’t have the capacity against the IRGC. However they’ve mobilized their supporters in the past into removing undesirable political oppents from the legislative portions of Iran’s system. It’s not likely they attempt a coup, but it’s a possibility that wpuld be foolish to ignore.

Can anyone here confirm the validity of this photo? I’ve yet to see anyone do so in the telegram itself, and I’m suspicious of it.
Seems legit.
In light of the 2026 FIFA World Cup, New York City is ringing in the spirit of the tournament with country-inspired train wraps now rolling across the MTA system. …

Even better, it has reactionaries seething. 🤣
— 🇮🇷 NEW: Massive crowds have assembled at Tehran’s prayer hall (Mosalla) to pay their respects to Iran’s martyred leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei

🇷🇺💬🇮🇷🇺🇸 Negotiations are always better than their absence, but they must lead to some conclusion, said Medvedev, speaking about the situation with Iran and the USA
➡️The memorandum of understanding between Iran and the USA lays the foundation for further negotiations. The process of reaching final agreements will be extremely difficult.
➡️Not everyone in the USA wants to lift sanctions against Iran. It will be hard for the parties to reach agreements on allocating funds for the reconstruction of Iran.
➡️The Strait of Hormuz in the conflict with the USA has become for Iran a “weapon no weaker than nuclear”, but there is also a “thermonuclear weapon” in reserve - the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
➡️Medvedev reported that he had conveyed condolences from Putin to Pezeshkian on the death of Ali Khamenei. He also discussed with him the bilateral relations between Russia and Iran.
➡️Medvedev stated that the situation in Tehran made a favorable impression on him - the city is alive and developing.
➡️Russia, Iran, China and other countries can discuss the idea of creating a platform for sanctioned states to counter the restrictions.
➡️Russia had proposals that could resolve the Iranian nuclear issue by peaceful means.

❗️Saudi Arabia rejects latest Ansarallah statements, warns of strong response
Expand
Saudi Arabia on Saturday dismissed the latest remarks by Yemen’s Armed Forces directed at the Kingdom, calling them an effort to deflect attention.
In a statement, the spokesman for the Saudi-led coalition backing Yemen’s internationally recognized government, Major General Turki al-Maliki, said: “Houthi statements against the Kingdom yesterday are merely an attempt to divert attention away from their grave violations against the brotherly people of Yemen, through which they try to export the economic disasters and Yemeni suffering they have caused.”
Maliki further said the group’s statements are “an extension of escalations and hostile behavior demonstrated by the Houthi militia and their attempts to undermine regional and international security.”
He also pledged that the coalition would respond “with unprecedented determination and force to any and all attempts to target the Kingdom, its citizens and residents and national assets, or any attempt to violate the sovereignty of the brotherly Republic of Yemen.”
