🇮🇷 Two unidentified persons on a motorbike wearing military uniforms and using pistols targeted a number of Basij members at a checkpoint approximately 17km from Imam Reza Shrine, in the holy city of Mashhad. The Martrydom of two Basij volunteers is confirmed so far. There are also reported injuries.

🏴🇮🇷🏴Initial estimates place the number of participants in the funeral procession for the martyred Leader of the Revolution —held over a six-day period across the five cities of Tehran, Qom, Najaf, Karbala, and Mashhad— at between 41 and 43 million people.
This makes Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei's funeral the biggest in human history.

Opinion
🇮🇷Question: How many more times is Sepah (IRGC) Aerospace Force, likely to want to save a dithering, weak and highly corrupt government against the Iranian public's wishes?
The Sepah (IRGC) and Artesh (Army) retaliatory missile and drone strikes conducted in the early hours of July 9, had a very deadly sting to their tail.
The surgical strikes destroyed and put out of action key components of the US military for further regional action.
The air defence radars sourced at the US bases half way round the world to replace the earlier US losses, are also now out of action.
Two key Command, Communication and Control centres have left chat, leaving the US forces without coordination for a possible ground assault.
In fact Sepah may have crippled the US air operations in the sense that there's very little left to protect dozens of US military aircraft packed into 3-4 bases -two are in the Occupied Palestine.
Little wonder that Pakistan, Turkey, Egypt and Qatar are scrambling to bring Tehran and Washington back to the table...at Washington's request!!!
But once again the Pezeshkian administration is failing to capitalise for Iran on the professionalism and sacrifice of its armed forces.
"Next time they're going to give Araghchi a supersonic jet to fly to negotiations", is the current joke in Iran.
One thing is certain: for an administration barely hanging on for its survival courtesy of the country's armed forces, it will be foolish to ignore the demands of the military top brass.
In trying to stuff a highly unpopular agreement, once again born out of Zarif's troubled mind, down a nation's throat, compromises at home are beginning to carry far greater weight than those made abroad.

🇮🇷 Saeed Jalili's during Salaht Al-Juma'a in Mashhad:

- If you say that we should release Iran's funds, then the most valuable thing our people possess is their beloved leadership.

- Taking revenge for the leader of the revolution is the right of the people and the duty of officials.

🇮🇷🏴 Seyyed Reza Narimani at the shrine of Imam Reza (AS) during the Grand funeral of the Martyred Leader:

- The first step in avenging the martyred Leader is to overturn the negotiating table and any agreement.

- Silence is not in the interest of our people or our country right now.

🇮🇷This book by Iran's FM Abbas Araghchi is titled: The Power of Negotiations.
Several leading book stores in Tehran have placed the book on sale "for clearance" in their "Fiction" department.
Buy it while you can, you never know when you might run out of toilet paper.

@SimurghRes

🇮🇷President Pezeshkian has promised the Leader of the Revolution to resign if a deal with the US isn't clenched.
Iranians are sick and tired of political stunts by the Reformist governments that have returned little other than misery and poverty for them, while enriching the so-called "Reform Mafia" by 100s of billions of dollars.
Pezeshkian will not resign and is likely to concede any and all rights that Iran possesses since it's become crystal clear that he's essentially on a mission for the Iranian oligarchs such as Ansari, Mar'ashi and others.
During the 40-day War, the Trump regime specifically targeted industrial production in Iran, including the pharmaceutical industry.
Iranian oligarchs view domestic innovation and production as rivaling their massively lucrative import-export gig.
Even Western sanctions since the 2009 "election riots" have been designed in such a way as to enrich the pro-West businesses and deprive popular concerns.
The Islamic Republic needs to systematically clean house in order to preserve the achievements of nearly 50 years worth of national sacrifice.

@SimurghRes

Forget all the Western lies. This is the reality!

This is the home of Iran’s most powerful man, Martyr Khamenei...

🇹🇷🇺🇸According to Bloomberg, Türkiye is seeking to rid itself of the Russian-manufactured and supplied S-400 air defence system, in a bid to receive F-35s from the US.
Ankara is now seeking a third country, approved by Russia, to offload the system.
This, while powerful Zionist entity-backed dissenting voices in US Congress have vowed to block any potential transfer of F-35s to Türkiye.
Following the defeat of the Ottomans in WWI, the Allies could have simply divided Anatolia into chunks. But the vital strategic and trade importance of the Bosphorus Strait, witnessed an about turn in foreign policy under the auspices of one Winston Churchill: the agreement with the Kurds was reversed in favour of proxy Arab regimes. When the Kurds revolted in 1921, they were mercilessly carpet bombed by the RAF using poison gas.
The reason was that simultaneous with the Anglo-Arab arrangements, given the chaos of marauding raiders roaming the countryside in Anatolia and disturbing the British Empire's trade, a Western leaning secular strongman had to be found to restore order: enter Mustafa Kemal Atatürk. Born in the Ottoman Salonica (Thessaloniki, Greece) and having fought against the British Empire, he cut a figure acceptable to particularly Anatolia's Turkic remnants of the Ottomans.
Anatolia's name was officially changed to Turkey and all diverse ethnicities were blugeoned into speaking a Turkic dialect which is approximately 70% Persian and Arabic. in the absence of an alphabet to shore up Kamal's Turkish language (The Ottomans used Persian and Arabic for most official communiques) an Armenian called Hagop Martayan was employed who invented and compiled a derivative Latin alphabet.
In any case the British Empire had an unwritten deal with Turkey's new rulers and oligarchs. London would tolerate the Turks so long as they remained a thorn in Iranian and Russian side and guarded against their expansion to control the Bosphorus.
Tukey's economy is a strange hybrid that benefits the pro-West old guard. While its currency is a loss leader forcing real trade to be conducted in the English pound before the Dollar Reserve's arrival.
In 2005, Recep Erdogan moved to take six zeros off the old Lira, which at that time stood at approximately 1,650,000 lira per US dollar.
Afterwards one yeni lira (new lira) equalled US $1, on paper only. The currency itself was flushable. And it has slipped to 46.77 lira against the US dollar since.
The point we're making is that all the hue and cry of Turkish governments against the Zionist entity in support of Muslims, doesn't amount to a bag of beans.
Türkiye is a construct of the British Empire like many other nation states created by Western colonialism after WWI, to "take care of business."
With its economy wholly latched to the West, and its currency at the whims of the Zionist super banks in London and New York, whatsoever noises being made by Ankara is likely through overconsumption of "Fırında Sebzeli, Nohutlu Türlü".

🇪🇺❤️🕊️🇵🇸 The European Citizens' Initiative "Justice for Palestine" has already collected 1.25 million signatures.

Its organisers are calling on the European Commission to break off trade relations with the Nazi state occupying Palestine.

The threshold of one million signatures required for the European Commission to respond to the initiative and take action has been reached, but the appeal can still be signed until 15 July. I have already signed.

🤬 In 2025, the European Union's trade with Israel amounted to 43 billion euros. This is immoral and unacceptable.

❗ Sign the initiative.
