🇮🇷❌🇺🇸— The Pentagon quietly added 29 Navy sailors and eight Marines to the Iran war casualty count.
**The only way USN sailors could have been injured is if the unconfirmed local fishermen eyewitness reports of a successful Iranian ASM strike on a US destroyer are correct.

🇮🇷🇺🇸| Iran’s Foreign Minister at the UNSC:
Iran has presented a specific plan to the US, with a timeframe of 7 days. If conditions are met, free from pressure and threats, the Strait of Hormoz can be reopened within 7 days.
This 7-day deadline begins immediately after the US accepts it. The Strait of Hormoz could be reopened on the 6th day, and on the 7th day, negotiations will begin to reach a final agreement.
We conveyed this message to the US via Qatar.
- This is what most outlets were referring to regarding indirect negotiations.
@FotrosResistancee
Rejected already by the US LMAO.
And Aragchi and Pezeshkian have given up a big chunk of Iran’s leverage with this incessant want for a deal, more so than the Americans.
If Iran is really hurting, it can’t be helped. But the fact that there’s an internal power struggle with reformists and IRGC at odds is a major issue, and the Epstein empire is 100% banking on reformists betraying the country
Can the Reformists even do that? There are millions of Iranians on the streets every night and that creates a significant amount of pressure on them, which is only tripled when we include the fact that the IRGC isn’t under them and that the Hardliners faction has definitely gotten alot of popularity
It really is mind numbing. At the very least, millions of Iranians are out on the street every night, making their demands be heard, so the reformists aren’t able to just get away with anything anymore. The more time passes, the less relavent the reformists will be.
🇮🇶🇮🇷| Secretary-General of the Iraqi Hezbollah al-Nujaba movement, Akram al-Kaabi, issued a statement urging Iraqi people to hold sit-ins at Iraqi airports if air travel between Iraq and Iran is not resumed.
Previously Iraqi government banned Iranian planes at Baghdad airport, and yesterday it has banned them at Najaf airport as well.

Pezeshkian needs to be fired dude fucking hell. He delivers one good speech and starts raking up Ls across the board. This is the third time where he’s deliberately given up Iran’s leverage without running it by the parliament
Do his words even carry any weight anymore? The parliament isn’t under him nor is the supreme leader or the IRGC

❗️Araghchi urges Europe to abandon its destructive approach towards Iran
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi called on European governments to abandon their “destructive and irresponsible” approach towards Iran and regional developments during a meeting with UK Foreign Secretary Ed Miliband on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.
According to a statement from Araghchi’s office, the two ministers discussed bilateral relations as well as regional and international developments.
Araghchi attributed insecurity in the region and the Strait of Hormuz to “military aggression” by the US and Israel, with the support and complicity of some European governments, which he said had inflicted significant damage on Iran, the region and the world.
Araghchi said lasting regional security depends on ending the Israeli occupation and realizing the Palestinian people’s legitimate rights, particularly their right to self-determination.

#WesternSyria | Rural #Homs: Sectarian Terrorist Attack on a Village in the Qusayr Area
Terrorists riding a motorcycle opened fire on two young men in the village of #Rablah, a village with an Alawite and Christian majority in the #Qusayr area of western Homs countryside, this evening, Friday, September 25, 2026.
This resulted in the killing of young Ahmad Hassan Alloush (al-Yousef), and the wounding of his cousin, young Moussa Hussein Alloush, with serious injuries, both from the Alawite community.
Following the terrorist attack, the #HTS-led General Security militias stormed the village and threatened its residents against sending news of the incident to journalists.

#WesternSyria: Attack, Vandalism, and Destruction of Alawite-Owned Shops by Turkmen and Bedouins in Balluran Village, Northern #Latakia Countryside
A group of thugs carried out an attack yesterday evening, September 24, 2026, on shops owned by members of the Alawite community, involving destruction, looting, and sectarian insults.
These attacks come amid leniency from the #HTS-led General Security militias and sectarian security apparatus toward assaults and crimes targeting minorities, which encourages the regime’s thugs to carry out their attack
❗️Turkiye says Mecca defense pact could expand to include Iran
A defense pact between Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan could eventually expand into a broader agreement “for the Muslim world” that includes Iran, Turkish Parliament Speaker Numan Kurtulmus said on Friday. He added that the agreement is expected to be submitted to parliament for ratification after lawmakers return from recess next month.
“For international agreements to come into effect, parliamentary approval is needed. The meetings held as part of the agreement at the moment are preparatory meetings,” Kurtulmus told reporters in Ankara. “I expect this issue to come on the parliament’s agenda in the coming period,” he said, referring to parliament’s return from recess in October.
Asked whether the agreement was directed against Iran, Kurtulmus reiterated Turkiye’s position that it was not aimed at any particular country. He said the pact was primarily intended to protect regional states amid ongoing conflicts and Israel’s “hostile policies”, while noting that Iran could potentially join the agreement.
“We never see the Mecca Agreement as a pact against Iran, it must not be that way. In fact, we hope the Mecca Agreement can turn into a broader agreement for the Muslim world. Iran can join this agreement too, we hope it will become much stronger with the participation of other regional countries,” he said.

❗️Syria begins trucking gasoline to Iraq via new energy corridor
Expand
Gasoline delivered to Syria is now being transported by road into Iraq, a senior Syrian oil official told Reuters, creating a two-way energy corridor along a route Baghdad has used to move fuel since shipping through the Strait of Hormuz was disrupted.
The first shipment to Iraq, consisting of around 32,800 metric tons of gasoline carried by the Marshall Islands-flagged tanker Avanti, was discharged into storage tanks at Syria’s Baniyas refinery before being transferred to tanker trucks this week, according to Tareq Shallash, director of the Refining Directorate at the state-owned Syrian Petroleum Company (SPC).
Shallash said 77 tanker trucks had already departed Baniyas for the Iraqi border, with loading operations continuing and additional shipments expected.
He said the gasoline was not produced in Syria and was not taken from reserves allocated for the Syrian market.
The operation is being conducted under a transit agreement between SPC and Qatar-based UCC Holding, which Shallash identified as the supplier and company overseeing the transportation.
“A contract was signed between SOMO and the Qatari company to supply Iraq with improved gasoline through the port of Baniyas by road tankers, and the supplies have in fact been delivered on a regular basis,” Iraqi Oil Ministry spokesperson Saleem al-Rikabi told Reuters on Friday.
Shipping data from LSEG showed that another Marshall Islands-flagged tanker, Gaita, loaded gasoline at the Port of Houston before sailing to Baniyas to discharge its cargo.
