🇮🇶/🇸🇦🇺🇸 Details surrounding the recent Saudi-American strike that targeted Hashd al-Shaabi (Popular Mobilization Forces) headquarters days ago.

- The original Saudi plan was for a limited, symbolic strike aimed at sending a deterrent message rather than causing widespread human losses.

- According to this account, Saudi Arabia obtained a list of targets through the American side, and the PM of iraq Ali-Zaidi was reportedly informed in advance that the response would be limited to specific locations.

⚠️ The information further indicates that Zaydi instructed relevant authorities to evacuate those locations before the strike. However, the question remains: did these instructions actually reach all targeted units? Did the head of the Hashd al-Shaabi, Faleh al-Fayyad, communicate this to all factions, or was the decision not fully implemented, or did a breakdown in communication prevent the instructions from reaching everyone?

- This question is important because some locations were indeed evacuated, while others remained occupied.

What happened subsequently was not part of the Saudi calculations. Instead of a limited, symbolic strike, the operation resulted in bloodshed, which was reflected in the tone of the Saudi statement issued after the strike, which was an attempt to contain the political fallout and reduce tensions.

- Politically, the strike has shifted the balance of power within Iraq. Prior to the strike, Zaydi had a clear advantage, based on anti-corruption campaigns, reform measures, and growing popular and regional support, which gave him more leverage to push for a policy of centralizing weapons under state control.

- However, the strike has shifted the focus back to the factions and put Zaydi in a very sensitive position. Zaydi, who was trying to establish Iraq's image as a reliable partner for the international and Gulf communities, found himself facing a strike that targeted Iraqi territory and caused casualties, which put him under significant political and public pressure.

- Furthermore, it is reported that Zaydi, in anticipation of his upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia, requested a symbolic response that would maintain internal balance and reduce pressure. However, Saudi Arabia did not agree to this request.

@SimurghRes

TLDR, Zaidi got info from the Saudis that the strikes will be limited and symbolic, Zaidi gave orders to evacuate SOME PMF bases but not all of them were evacuated. This is either a miscommunication on part of Al-Zaidi and the head of the PMF or it was done intentionally by both of them.

🇺🇸/🇮🇷 Trump cancels his attack on Iran and chickens out.

"The U.S.A. is locked and loaded and ready to go against the Islamic Republic of Iran, at levels of Military Terror, Strength, and Power not seen since World War II.

Despite this, we have just been asked by Iran, and other Middle Eastern Countries, to hold off any attack in that the perimeters of a deal has been agreed to. This would include the Immediate, Complete, and Total OPENING OF THE HORMUZ STRAIT, and an end to Iran's nuclear threat.

Based on this request, I have agreed, for the future benefit of the WORLD and, likewise, the survival of a successful and prosperous Iran, to cancel the attack, subject to being able to rapidly make a DEAL. The Country of Israel joins me in this commitment. Get to work, everybody, and get it DONE. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP."

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Statement of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Sheikh Ismail Haniyeh:

The conspiracy to disarm Hamas will not lead to any result, and it has already failed. We announce to the world that the dignity of the anti-Zionist resistance cannot be undermined, and by the grace of God, the final victory of Palestine over the occupiers is closer than the enemies imagine.

The assassination of the martyr Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran—while he was an official guest at the inauguration ceremony of the President of the Islamic Republic of Iran—was a major crime and a blatant violation of the principles and norms of international law, national sovereignty, and the territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Two years after the crime of the Zionist regime in assassinating Sheikh Ismail Haniyeh, and with the ongoing genocide and the escalation of Zionist crimes reminiscent of the Middle Ages in Gaza, the expansion of war and crimes to southern Lebanon, and then the beginning of the second and third imposed wars with the participation of the malicious and evil President of the United States and the army of this terrorist country against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the terrorist and criminal nature of this regime has become clearer than ever to everyone.

The continued comprehensive American support, both militarily and politically, as well as the support of some other Western countries, and the harmony and collusion of reactionary regional governments with this regime, have made them partners in the crimes committed, and serves as a reminder and confirmation of their international responsibility for the genocide and war crimes perpetrated by the Zionist regime.
