🇮🇷Mohammad-Javad Molavi, Editor-in-Chief of Raja News:

It is an oddity -and sends a poor signal- that the appointment to the country's most critical security post is announced by the Deputy Chief of Staff to the President.
Mr. Pezeshkian, who last night claimed that critics are trying to sow discord between the administration and the Supreme Leader.

[Perhaps Pezeshkian would better] ought to look for the root causes, in precisely these kinds of actions!

**We've informed you many times here, much to certain members of our audience's chargrin, of the very fact that the Pezeshkian/Ghalibaf "circus" (for want of a better word) was using Dr. Zolghadr to rubber stamp decisions that the Leader didn't entirely approve.

🇾🇪🇸🇦 Ansarallah has released footage showing multiple launches of missiles and drones that all but destroyed the Saudi logistics hub at the port of Al-Mukha earlier.
Fires and secondary explosions were ongoing for many hours following the strikes.

🇮🇷Iranian MP Seyed Mahmoud Nabavian:

Thankfully, the general outlines of the plan regarding control and sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz was approved by consensus in the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly.

@SimurghRes

🇮🇷Sound of an explosion from the Strait of Hormuz.
(Probably Iran targeting something)

🇾🇪❌️🇸🇦Satellite imagery of Ansarallah drone strike on Aramco refinery in Jizan, earlier today 09/08/2026. The large plume of smoke rising from the facility appears to support a direct hit on the oil storage area.

🇮🇷Local Report:

Something is burning very intensely over the horizon looking from the Iranian shores out to the Strait of Hormuz, following multiple cruise missile launches.

@SimurghRes

The local report appears to have been accurate.
This however, is the view of the same incident from the coast of Oman.

@SimurghRes

🇮🇷Reports of Sepah (IRGC) downing of a drone over the Strait of Hormuz appear confirmed.
There's some discussion that it may be a Saudi-operated drone.

@SimurghRes

🇺🇸An E-3G Airborne Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft departed Ramstein Air Base in Germany for Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia to replace another aircraft that has recently left the region.

@SimurghRes

🇮🇷We're getting reports of TWO drones shot down, not one.
We'll bring you updates when we get them.

In our lives, we must look to the great role models; our lives pass and come to an end, we all die, but choosing the right path is of great importance.

@SimurghRes

🇺🇸🇸🇦The new contract "awarded" for the Saudi purchase of 730 PAC-3MSE missiles, along with certain ancillary equipment (excluding fire-control radars, command panels, or additional launchers), is valued at $9 billion: in other words, the cost of each Patriot missile in this new deal for Saudi Arabia works out at $12.3 million.
This is a clear-cut case of price gouging on the US part and a purchase born of desperation for the Saudis.
Riyadh fired 2400 PAC-3 interceptors during the first 38 days of the Ramadan War, mostly against Iranian drones that were only targeting the US facilities in the kingdom.
It currently has approximately 400 interceptors left.
Given the appalling rate of success against drones that cost Iran between $5,000-$19,000 to produce and the disastrous rate of successful missile interceptions, most logical minds would expect Riyadh to adopt a more realistic approach, rather than throw yet more billions at an ally that failed to protect its own installations let alone defend Saudi Arabia.
There's something very deeply troubling about the ruling families backed by the Epsteinist West in the region.

Iran's FM Spox. ESMAIL BAGHAEI:

There are no negotiations with Washington at present, and we are exchanging messages with them through intermediaries.

- The route we are discussing with Oman in the Strait of Hormuz is temporary and will replace the southern and northern routes. The southern route in the Strait of Hormuz is illegal, unsafe, and violates the Memorandum of Understanding.
