🇮🇷🇺🇸 Negotiations have stalled between Iran and the US

This proved skeptics correct that these negotiations shouldn't be relied on and their results won't be a miracle for the Islamic Republic.

Talks have stalled after the US attempted to infringe upon Iran's sovereign right to a civilian nuclear program and address issues that were considered to be red lines and none of the US' business to address. Additionally, several Trump administration officials tweeted bold threats of military action against Iran if it doesn't submit to Washington's demands, one of which was retweeted by Steve Witkoff, the Jewish-American who serves as US Special Envoy and is representing the US in these negotiations.

Trump tried to run a psyop that painted himself as a peacemaker embattled against more hawkish members of his cabinet, but this is all theater of playing the good cop versus his bad cop ministers like Rubio, Waltz, and Hegseth. By deceitfully pretending to be the "peacemaker," Trump can then place demands on the table that no self-respecting sovereign country would ever agree to, and then when the talks fall apart because of the US' arrogant nature as a hegemonic bully, they can falsely label Iran as the belligerent party and claim it was the Islamic Republic who caused the talks to fall apart, even though it was simply defending its sovereign rights.

As the Leader said, these talks should be only one of many activities of the Foreign Ministry of the Islamic Republic and not be so over-relied upon that the country's progress is tied to the outcomes of these negotiations. Plans for improving the country's situation should be dutifully and painstakingly pursued, like Martyr Raisi did, in order to build up the country and make it internally resilient and strong, and increasing relations with the many other countries of the world, especially those with large economies like Russia, China, and elsewhere.

Don't let Trump win this psyop — the falling apart of these talks was due to the arrogance and foul play of the US. Iran upholding its rights is not a sign of belligerence, it is a sign of intelligence and self-respect.

✅ | Israeli airstrikes will go silent at the moment Syria is officially broken into parts — exactly when Julani and the regimes behind him accept this outcome. This is a coordinated game, more than the talks that Israel is now biting the face of its own tentacles; it seems more coordinated plan.

🥀 | Two days ago, Hezbollah's cemetery in Rawdat al-Sayyidah Zaynab (S) officially buried the last Martyr in it as it is now full. The cemetery was established in 2013 and now closed in 2025, holding the heroes from the Syrian war and then the Israeli war. For takfiris who abuse and criticise Hezbollah just because of their degeneration against it, but for Muslims it is a proud moment which has given its best for the cause of the safety of Islam, human dignity and indeed human conscience. Hezbollah, which has sacrificed the biggest of its assets in this battle, will be a proud permanent symbol of commitment and foundation for a noble dignified pure soul no matter who he or she is, which religion or which creed.

Live Long Hezbollah!

❎ | In all realities, there is one truth: a very large group with a takfiri mindset though they appear as regular, outwardly “flexing” Muslims—actively hopes and waits for the destruction of Iran, regardless of who carries it out or why. It’s a sad but undeniable reality. Muslims must critically reexamine the ideological roots that have allowed such takfiri thinking to grow and thrive among them.

🟡 Report: In an interview with Eghtedār magazine, Shaykh Naim Qassim (H) answered numerous questions. Below is the full account: (1/8):

Without a doubt, a lifetime of jihad for the founding of Hezbollah brought you together with the Master of the Martyrs of the Ummah, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r). Could you tell us about your first meeting with him and how your joint jihadist journey in the leadership of Hezbollah evolved?

The martyr Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r) began his activities in Hezbollah at the time of its founding in 1982, in the Beqaa region. My involvement with Hezbollah began in the southern suburbs of Beirut. At that time, there was no contact or joint work between us. Later, I heard about his exceptional efforts, and because I was part of the second Shura Council in 1984, I became aware of his activities. He, in turn, had heard of me due to my public engagements.

However, our real and impactful acquaintance began with our joint presence in the council. In 1989, an organizational restructuring took place, and for the first time, the position of Secretary General was established. Sayyid Hassan (r) was appointed as head of the Executive Council, and I was appointed as his deputy.

That marked the beginning of our practical cooperation. Sayyid held the Executive Council leadership for a few months, then left for the Islamic Republic of Iran to continue his seminary studies in Qom. I replaced him and became head of the Executive Council.

After several months, he returned to Lebanon and found himself besieged in the Al-Tuffah region. We maintained continuous communication to stay updated on developments. In mid-1991, Sayyid Abbas Mousawi (r) was appointed Secretary General, and Sayyid Hassan became head of the Executive Council. Sayyid Abbas proposed me as Deputy Secretary General.

Following the martyrdom of Sayyid Abbas (r) on February 16, 1992, Sayyid Hassan was appointed Secretary General and nominated me as his deputy. From that point on, with changes in the decision-making council, he remained Secretary General and I remained his deputy until his martyrdom on September 27, 2024.

We worked together for thirty-five years, thirty-three and a half of which I served as his deputy. During this time, daily communication allowed me to participate in numerous meetings and encounters with him. He would always assign follow-up responsibilities to me and often delegated his representation at conferences and speeches.

We participated in the first parliamentary elections after the civil war. At the beginning of his tenure as Secretary General in 1992, he tasked me with overseeing parliamentary affairs and the representatives—this was within his authority. About a year and a half later, upon his suggestion, the council decided to officially add parliamentary affairs to the responsibilities of the Deputy Secretary General.

There was always harmony between us, and never once did we raise our voices over any issue. That doesn’t mean we never disagreed—on rare occasions we did—but after discussions, I would accept his view, as he was the leader and guardian.

I was always eager to sit with him, because it allowed for practical gains and follow-up on matters. I don’t recall him ever rejecting a work-related request I made, because of the trust he had in my assessments and preparation of files. If he assigned me a file, he would let me complete it fully without reviewing it.

There was mutual trust, and our relationship was surrounded by friendship and intimacy. We repeatedly expressed this spiritual love for God’s sake to each other. He would clearly share his considerations with me, knowing I would accept them. If he contacted one of the MPs to assign them a task related to me and hadn’t informed me in advance, he would later call to apologize—this was his level of courtesy, even though I had no objection to his direct communication.

If you ask members of the council, Hezbollah officials, or anyone else whether they ever heard of a public disagreement between us, their answer would be no.

Sayyid was extremely kind, well-mannered, humble, respectful of his brothers, and considerate of their conditions. As for me, despite his immense prophetic and jihadist qualities, I never found anything that warranted a dispute or conflict.

(3/8):

Can you acquaint us with the spiritual traits, leadership qualities, and jihadist attributes of the martyred Sayyid, so that the Islamic Ummah may deepen its understanding of him, and so that these characteristics may serve as a model and guide for the Ummah?

The qualities of the Master of the Martyrs of the Ummah, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r), were derived from the values of Islam, the Prophets, and the Imams (peace be upon them). I will mention only some of them as examples:

1. Total devotion to the Prophet Muhammad (S) and the family of the Prophet (A), to the point of spiritual annihilation in their love. He was always in remembrance of Imam Husayn (A) and Karbala, drawing inspiration from them. He lived in a constant state of practical anticipation for the Promised Imam, Imam Mahdi (A).

2. Absolute commitment to the guardianship of the Jurist (Wilayat al-Faqih), Imam Khamenei (H). He deeply loved him, read every statement of his with great care, frequently quoted his key words in meetings and speeches, and submitted entirely to the commands of the Wilayah.

3. A special bond with the mujahideen. He was eager to follow their needs and the news of their accomplishments. He dedicated much of his time to meeting with the leaders of jihad units to monitor the frontline situation. He paid close attention to the stories of martyrs and insisted on reading them.

4. He trusted the supporters of the resistance, viewing them as loyal to the path of Islamic resistance. He would often cite the sacrifices of their families, their patience, and readiness for further sacrifice. He cared deeply about all aspects of their social conditions—supporting their children’s education, treating their sick, strengthening agriculture, rural areas, and ensuring access to water and electricity. He was kind and loving in his dealings with the people.

5. Palestine held priority for him—due to religious obligation, the duty of jihad, the command of the Wilayah (ignited by Imam Khomeini, r), and political considerations regarding Lebanon and the broader Islamic Ummah. He viewed the Zionist enemy as a regional threat, not merely a Palestinian one. He had firm conviction that Israel would be annihilated in the future.

6. He paid great attention to cultural and educational issues. Culturally, through correcting concepts, expanding cultural programs, reviving mosques and promoting attendance, encouraging participation in Ashura commemorations and Qur’an sessions—especially during the spiritual atmosphere of Ramadan. Educationally, he emphasized improving behavior and ethics, avoiding gossip, slander, pointless arguments, and bad company. He followed up on the programs concerning these aspects.

7. He closely followed developments and studied the enemy. He was a passionate reader, which broadened his knowledge and sharpened his strategic positions. He was a strategic analyst of events, farsighted, and wise in decision-making. He would consult his brothers before any major decision, and if their reasoning convinced him, he would change his own view.

8. His leadership was wise, calm, compelling, and fully aware of the dimensions of every issue. He was extremely patient in trying to persuade others. In the face of threats and crises, he was steadfast and never made hasty or emotional decisions. I recall a story once told by Suleiman Frangieh, head of the Marada Movement, in a television interview. He said: “I told Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah: if I were in your place, I would not be able to bear the level of patience you have. I’ve grown tired just watching your patience.”

How can the faith-based and jihadist worldview of Hezbollah and the Islamic Resistance be explained through the thought, discourse, and conduct of the Martyr of the Islamic Ummah?

Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r); the Martyr of the Islamic Ummah, practically embodied the faith-based and jihadist worldview through the principles, goals, and established policies of Hezbollah, and through the positions he constantly referred to. He was always keen to explain this worldview in meetings with cadres and in public addresses tailored to various occasions. Here are some key points:

1. Faith-based and jihadist education takes precedence over everything else, as it forms the foundation of the Resistance. It is this spiritual and ideological training that corrects political stances. His strong presence during more than half the nights of Ashura in the Central Council underscored the role of Karbala, the martyrdom of Imam Husayn (A), and the positions of Lady Zaynab (S) in shaping mujahid men and women committed to Islam, Wilayah, and Resistance. This unity introduced the model of Islamic resistance through the legendary conduct of the fighters and the noble, monumental stance of the people. Weekly religious lessons during Ramadan on television and his sermons on the nights of Qadr reaffirmed the methodology required for shaping doctrinal and jihadist structures.

2. Islamic unity is a necessity and an essential principle, and preventing sectarian strife is a religious obligation. We must not generalize the extreme actions of some followers of other sects (such as takfir or exaggeration) to all members of those sects, just as we reject extremists within our own sect. He advocated for counsel, dialogue, and the relinquishing of certain privileges within our country for the sake of broader Islamic unity at the political level—because the enemy is one, our challenges are shared, and the Israeli regime is an enemy to Palestine, Sunnis, Shi’as, and all of humanity.

3. Resistance is the basis for broad alliances with individuals and groups that may differ with us ideologically or in affiliation. It came as a surprise to many that Hezbollah in Lebanon would form alliances with secularists, Christians, Sunnis, nationalists, patriots, and communists—all on the foundation of shared faith in resisting the Israeli enemy, liberating land, and protecting the homeland. In dealing with our allies, we show utmost respect, adhere to our commitments and agreements, and never abandon them unless they first withdraw from us. We do not impose any specific stance upon them.

4. Resistance against the Israeli regime for the liberation of Palestine and al-Quds is a fixed and foundational principle, essential to the very existence of Hezbollah, its members, the Resistance’s atmosphere, and its supporters. It takes precedence over all else. Our internal political positions and strategies are subordinate to this overriding priority.

5. Our belief in the guardianship of the Jurist (Wilayat al-Faqih) remains firm in the face of all attacks and accusations, because it is this religious leadership that guides us toward obedience to God and the fulfillment of our duties. This belief in no way conflicts with our devotion to our homeland, Lebanon, and peaceful coexistence with its sects under the framework of the Taif Constitution.

6. The weapon of the Resistance is strictly for confronting the usurping Israeli regime and has no relation to Lebanon’s internal affairs. Political competition or agreement with other factions remains within the framework of legitimate political processes. Success in elections depends on popular support within legal boundaries. We win some seats and lose others, but the military power of the Resistance is never used for domestic political gain.

Who is the victorious resistor, and what was the nature of the resistance environment that interacted with the Leader of the Martyrs of the Islamic Ummah?

The victorious resistor is the one who takes the leader of the Resistance as a role model, just as Almighty God says:
“Indeed in the Messenger of Allah you have an excellent example for whoever has hope in Allah and the Last Day and remembers Allah often.” (Al-Ahzab 33:21)

The resistance fighters pledged allegiance to the Leader of the Martyrs of the Islamic Ummah, Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r), through obedience, loyalty, and faith in the pure Muhammadan Islam (S), walking in the path of Imam Khomeini (r) and under the banner of the Guardian Jurist, Imam Khamenei (H). This allegiance means believing in what he believed in, striving as he strove—with sacrifice and devotion in the path of Almighty Allah, as stated:

“Indeed, Allah has purchased from the believers their lives and their properties [in exchange] for that they will have Paradise. They fight in the cause of Allah, so they kill and are killed. [It is] a true promise [binding] upon Him in the Torah and the Gospel and the Qur’an. And who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? So rejoice in your transaction which you have contracted. And it is that which is the great triumph.” (At-Tawbah 9:111)

The resistance fighters proved in every battle that they are seekers of martyrdom who do not fear death. Their steadfastness has become legendary. They are the soldiers of Imam Husayn (A) and among the faithful awaiters of the Master of the Age (may our souls be sacrificed for his soil).

They demonstrated these traits in resisting the July 1993 aggression, the April 1996 invasion, the liberation of 2000, the 2006 war, the sacred defense in Syria, the defeat of the takfiri forces in the 2017 “Joroud” battle, their support for Gaza in the “Al-Aqsa Flood” battle of 2023, and in the “Awwal al-Ba’s” battle of 2024.

These resistance fighters proved they are children of the Wilayah—obedient, united, and wholly devoted to the exceptional leadership of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r).

As for the environment of resistance—composed of men, women, and children—it is a space of generosity, sacrifice, patience, and struggle that is no less than the martyrdom-seeking fighters on the battlefield. Their children were martyred, wounded, and imprisoned, yet they declared their readiness for even more sacrifice.

They gave martyrs and wounded in the bombings of cities, villages, and homes, and in facing the Israeli enemy they continued to cry out in defiance. They were displaced, lost their homes and the fruit of their life’s labor, but did not waver in their loyalty to the Resistance and its leader. This environment has been a true partner in the achievements and victories, serving as a real shield and backbone of the Resistance through its faith, awareness, and contentment.

The region has always witnessed—and continues to witness—two opposing projects: the American-Zionist project and the Resistance Axis. What is Hezbollah’s position within this Resistance Axis, and do you think the martyrdom of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r) would negatively impact the effectiveness of this axis?

Hezbollah was established as part of the Islamic Resistance project to confront the Israeli regime following its invasion of Lebanon in 1982. It rose to prominence through its strength and success, particularly with the landmark liberation of southern Lebanon in 2000. This victory had a profound impact on the Palestinian resistance, which, after years of stone-based intifada, was reinvigorated into armed resistance—a transformation openly acknowledged by Palestinian leaders themselves.

Hezbollah played a pivotal role in supporting Palestinian resistance groups through training, arming, and logistical support—primarily in coordination with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force, which was instrumental in equipping and empowering the Resistance. It also stood by Syria in its war against the tide of Takfiri militants. In Iraq, both the people and the Popular Mobilization Forces (Hashd al-Shaabi) benefited from this cooperation in their fight against the Takfiri state project. Yemen, too, drew from Hezbollah’s experience in confronting the domination of the Saudi-led coalition.

Given the common cause of fighting the Zionist enemy and liberating Palestine and al-Quds, the Resistance Axis was formed based on shared goals, the need for cooperation, and the utilization of available resources. At its helm stands the Islamic Republic of Iran under the leadership of Imam Khamenei (H), which bears the responsibility of the liberation of Palestine and regional independence, offering comprehensive material, military, moral, and political support to the axis. Yet Hezbollah was the first force to emerge as an effective power of liberation and has since transferred its experience and expertise to others.

Hezbollah has offered up many of its leaders and fighters as martyrs—foremost among them Shaykh Ragheb Harb (r), Sayyid Abbas Musawi (r), Haj Imad Mughniyeh (r), and others across different eras. Yet the path continued. Even today, with the martyrdom of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r) Sayyid Hashem Safi al-Din (r) and other leaders and martyrs, the path endures. Their blood becomes both a motivation and a sacred trust.

Martyrdom paves the way for the realization of the Resistance’s objectives; it does not weaken it. This is the lesson we learned from the Karbala of Imam Husayn (A), which has remained alive in the ummah and continues to inspire ever greater sacrifice for the elevation of truth, Islam, victory, and freedom.

Following the martyrdom of Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (r) and other leaders and martyrs—and the ten-day upheaval that began on September 27, 2024—the Resistance quickly restored its presence by electing a new Secretary-General and filling leadership vacancies. The legendary steadfastness of the front-line fighters and the continued missile and drone strikes deep into the heart of the Zionist entity during the “Ulī al-Ba’s” battle forced Israel to seek a ceasefire. This was a direct result of the martyrs’ legacy. Allah willing, the Islamic Resistance will persist in advancing its mission.

Anyway, many believe that you gave Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah the title of “Sayyid Shuhada al-Ummah.” Why exactly did you choose this name?

This naming was to express the true status of Sayyid Hassan (r) at the time of his martyrdom. Due to his first leadership role in the Resistance Axis and his position in the eyes of the Muslim Ummah globally, he is the Sayyid Shuhada (Master of the Martyrs) of the Islamic Ummah. He was nationalist, pro-Palestinian, Arab, Muslim, and on the global scale of the Ummah. He led the Resistance to its strength and victories, expanded its supporters and followers, defeated its enemies and their puppets regionally, and then became a martyr on the frontlines.

Shaykh Naim Qassim, you explicitly promised the people that you would make efforts to assess what has happened. Will this review and evaluation include your policies and actions at all levels related to the pre- and post-war phases?

The evaluation of what has transpired and the investigation into weaknesses is at least an obligation and a loyalty to the martyrs, the wounded, the prisoners, the resisters, and the supporters of the Resistance. It is for gaining lessons and wisdom for the future. The evaluation leads to identifying weaknesses and determining responsibilities, as well as reviewing policies, methods of work, programs, and plans.

Certainly, we cannot continue with the same approach in all security, military, political, and cultural fields. The evaluation must be comprehensive and inclusive of the previous phase so that we can build the steps for the new phase based on that. The principles and foundations on which Hezbollah was established, and the priority of the Resistance, are constant, and all ways to achieve these principles, based on what happened in the supportive battles and “Ulī al-Ba’s,” are open for discussion and adjustment according to the results of the evaluation.

Where do we stand today, and what is your forecast for the political and cultural situation of the region and Lebanon? How will you address the Abrahamic Accords on a regional level, as Trump envisions, and how will you interact with Lebanon’s political and cultural role?

Today, the region is under pressure and targeted by the tyrannical forces of imperialism, the United States, and its criminal machine, the Israeli regime. Our country, Palestine, and our region are targeted in all fields: the expansion of land occupation, the displacement of its residents, the imposition of dependency on regimes, the purchase of consciences and followers, cultural and educational misguidance, and the normalization of relations between the Israeli regime and Arab regimes, specifically to eliminate the Palestinian cause.

Lebanon will also be their target in order to strike at the Resistance. We will continue to resist as a liberating program, rejecting all forms of occupation, settlement, and normalization, based on our existing capabilities and expanding them as much as we can, with our allies. In various ways, we will confront these challenges.

Hezbollah, alongside the Amal movement and their popular base, and their allies and representatives, is a powerful and influential force within Lebanon at all levels. We will strive based on our national project to preserve Lebanon’s sovereignty and independence, cooperate with forces, parties, and sects for the economic prosperity of the country, rebuild what Israel has destroyed, restore the deposits of depositors, combat corruption and the corrupt, and uphold the rule of law.

Shaykh, every prominent leader, like Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah, leaves behind a great legacy. What are your recommendations for the Ummah to preserve this legacy and continue its growing role and position?

The Sayyid Shuhada of the Islamic Ummah has left his physical body, but his teachings remain. The Hezbollah he spent his life building remains. The Islamic Resistance, which was intertwined with every moment of his life, remains. The anticipation for Imam Mahdi (A) to take the flag from him remains. As Amir al-Mu’minin (A) said about scholars, and he himself was among the greatest of them: “Scholars remain as long as time exists; their bodies may pass, but their examples remain in the hearts.”

Therefore, let us read his words, follow his positions, reflect on his conduct, and draw lessons and wisdom from the stages of his life and struggle. His legacy is immense and never-ending. Blessed is the one who benefits from this rich source and this divine and guiding resistance.
