✅ | This is no longer a matter of speculation. Those within Lebanon who are permitting or enabling attacks on the resistance must now choose their path: stand up to defend the country or get out of the way. Neutrality in the face of aggression is complicity. The time for silence is over. The responsibility to protect Lebanon and its people rests on everyone within its borders.

Update on the Situation in Lebanon

The Zionist entity carried out numerous airstrikes in Lebanon today as it has been since the beginning of the ceasefire. All but one of these airstrikes were preceded by a warning, and many if not most were carried out within the past hours - i.e., in the middle of the night. By putting these strikes into perspective, one can understand why Hezb has not been retaliating. Anytime a visit by Deputy U.S Special Envoy Morgan Ortagus is approaching, the Zionist entity executes such attacks to 'set the tone' with Lebanese government officials. In other words, the strikes serve as a message and aim to pressure the government into moving toward the usual demands: colliding with Hezb to disarm them by force, integrating into the normalization project, etc. This is the primary aim of the airstrikes. The secondary aim is to pressure the Shi'a and the supporters of the Resistance in Lebanon into 'abandoning' Hezb and Amal in the municipal elections and moving forward. What is essentially happening is the following: the Zionist plot for 'changing the face of the Middle East' included Lebanon, but the Resistance was successful in preventing that from taking place. In an attempt to seize the window of opportunity, the israelis are currently pushing for war with Iran and want to pressure Lebanon into the civil war that would transpire in the event that the government attempts to forcefully confiscate Hezb's military capabilities. This would paralyze the government's institutions and compromise its borders, which would essentially represent the end of Lebanon in its conventional geography. Lebanese President Joseph Aoun has repeatedly said he rejects any trajectory which includes forceful disarmament or internal conflict. Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam said recently that "no one in Lebanon wants normalization". But the Lebanese government's general posture has been to succumb to the international community - specifically the U.S and Saudi Arabia - to gain their trust. The reason for this is obvious. After all, the Lebanese government understands that Hezb has indeed excepted Lebanon from the regional transformations, and that this achievement must not be wasted. Likewise, Hezb understands this and is also rightfully willing to patiently 'let the cloud pass'. However, it remains possible for the war to resume, especially considering the remarks made by U.S Secretary of State Marco Rubio two days ago, who said Syria's "transitional authority [..] are maybe weeks, not many months, away from potential collapse"..

🇾🇪 Breaking — Yemeni Armed forces:

In response to the oppression of the Palestinian people and fighters, and rejecting the genocide committed by the Zionist enemy against our brothers in Gaza, the Yemeni Armed Forces’ missile unit carried out a precise military operation targeting the Israeli Ben Gurion Airport in occupied Jaffa [Jewish name: Tel Aviv] with a hypersonic ballistic missile. The operation was successful, causing panic among the Israeli occupiers and halting airport operations.

📕 | In a letter to Mukhnif ibn Sulaym (the Imam’s governor in Isfahan and Hamadan), Imam Ali (A) wrote:

Jihad becomes obligatory upon those who are enlightened and aware when faced with someone who willingly turns away from the truth and consciously chooses blindness and misguidance. Allah is pleased with those who seek His pleasure and is displeased with those who rebel and commit sins.

We intend to move against a people who have not acted upon divine revelation in their dealings with the servants of Allah, have usurped public wealth, have suspended the hudud (limits) and laws of Allah, have abolished the truth, and have spread corruption on Earth.

These are people who have taken the immoral and wicked as their confidants, have preferred them over the believers, and when someone performs an act sincerely for Allah, it angers them, and they oppose and alienate him from everything. However, when an oppressor assists them in their injustice, they love him, draw him close, and treat him with kindness.

They persist in oppression and tyranny and are united in their pursuit of division and discord.

📕 | Imam Ali (A) said regarding the battle against the people of Basra and the army of Jamal:

“…Among an army in which there was not a single man who had not professed obedience to me and pledged allegiance to me — an allegiance not taken by force or coercion. Yet they descended upon my governor in Basra, attacked the treasurers of the Muslim public treasury, and other residents of Basra. They captured a group, tortured them to death, and deceived others only to kill them.

By Allah, if they had murdered just one innocent Muslim — without guilt, without any wrongdoing — intentionally, it would have been lawful for me to fight and kill the entirety of that army. For they witnessed a heinous crime and did not protest, nor did they act with their tongues or hands to stop it. What then, when they slaughtered numerous Muslims equal to the number of their own troops they brought into Basra!”

(Nahj al-Balagha, Sermon 172)

✅ | The first round of indirect negotiations was held in Rome, initiated by Oman, as the Iranian team had shown no interest after the reminder by Imam Khamenei in a recent public meeting. The Americans not only cunningly shifted the demands, but also reintroduced issues of enrichment, which are considered red lines and were not even part of the original talks (as per information from the Iranian Ministry). However, it became evident that when Iran expressed discontent, the Americans pleaded through the Omani side to request a return to dialogue. A three-hour meeting was held at the residence of the Omani ambassador in Rome, Italy. While Witkoff left claiming a flight schedule issue, the American technical teams remained and were engaged in indirect talks—something al-Mayadeen referred to as a positive sign, and which the Iranian Foreign Ministry also labeled successful. It’s clear that the U.S. is attempting to escape a dead-end corridor, but this approach won’t yield any results. The Americans are merely buying time, and soon, Witkoff is expected to start spinning against whatever was discussed—further proving that the U.S. is not a party that can be negotiated with through diplomacy alone, but only through pressure and firm resistance. Time will reveal what was truly discussed and what was rejected.

🟨 Breaking — Statement issued by Hezbollah's Media Relations:

The slogans chanted from the stands of the Sports City, addressing Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and leveling accusations against him, are reprehensible and unacceptable. They conflict with national interests, as well as with sports ethics, and do not serve the path of strengthening national unity and internal stability, which the country needs in the process of state-building and reform.

We call on all Lebanese to demonstrate the highest degree of national responsibility and not to be drawn into provocative and offensive slogans that only lead to further tension and division, especially at this stage when Israeli attacks on our country, Lebanon, continue.

🇵🇸 Breaking — Palestinian Faction Leaders Leave Damascus Amid Syrian Crackdown Linked to Trump-Julani-Erdogan Pact:

Several Palestinian faction leaders — including Khaled Jibril and Khaled Abdul Majid — have reportedly left Damascus after facing pressure from Syrian authorities. Although no formal expulsion orders were issued, their homes and offices were confiscated, and operations of their factions were banned.

• All weapons were surrendered.
• Authorities demanded names of members with personal arms.
• A source confirmed no meaningful cooperation exists between these factions and the current Syrian regime.

This crackdown is believed to be in response to a deal brokered by former U.S. President Donald Trump, allegedly offering to lift sanctions on Syria in exchange for expelling what he called “Palestinian terrorists.”

Notably, Islamic Jihad leaders were also detained recently, and Talal Naji was briefly arrested.

📕 | A Tribute to the Forgotten Martyrs:

Twelve years ago, during these very days, several of our dear fellow Iranians — pilgrims to the shrines of the Imams al-Askariyyain (A) — were brutally targeted and martyred by Daesh (ISIS) terrorists simply for being Shia. In a bombing attack on an Iranian pilgrim bus at the Balad-Samarra junction, five pilgrims from Golestan Province — Hossein Tahmasebi, Yadollah Farzalil, Ali Mohammad Zardkouhi, Fereydoun Moshavegh, and Narges Herati Nejad — were martyred.

In a similar bombing on November 8, 2011, three Iranian pilgrims from Gilan — Heydar Darvishvand, Seyed Mohammad Ali Fallah Abbasi, and Zahra Daghighi — were martyred. In another suicide attack in July 2012 at the northern entrance of the Askariyyain (A) shrines, an Iranian woman was martyred.

In November 2016, a suicide attack using an ambulance loaded with explosives by two Daesh terrorists in a Samarra parking lot martyred and injured several Iranian citizens. In this terrorist act, at least nine Iranian pilgrims were martyred: Rasoul Narimani, Mohammadreza Hafezi, Mohammad Eslam Kish, Abbas Heydari, Dakhil Rabiei, Zeinab Dastaar, Kheiri Sheikhi, Azar Homayouni, and Sakineh Ataei.

✅ | Right to Enrich or Permission to Enrich?!

According to the NPT treaty, Iran has a legal and internationally recognized right to enrich uranium and conduct peaceful nuclear activities within its territory. There is fundamentally no need for negotiation or concessions to have this right acknowledged. Yet, this natural right was lost in the JCPOA.

Based on Section 2 of the JCPOA preamble and a close look at its legal language, we see that the right to access peaceful nuclear energy has been denied. Instead, through lengthy negotiations and unprecedented concessions, a mere “permission” (not a right) was granted by a few countries, allowing Iran to pursue a limited nuclear program with capped enrichment levels at specific sites, framed as a confidence-building measure.

In reality, the Iranian negotiation team in the JCPOA formally relinquished the enrichment right stated in the NPT, and accepted that Iran may enrich only with the permission of several countries and only within set limitations.

In the current negotiations, the negotiating team must learn from the damaging lessons of the JCPOA and not bargain away Iran’s natural rights. The opposing parties should not be allowed to sell permissions to Iran, disguised as concessions, using such degrading language.

✅ | Reconstruction or Recolonization? Hidden Agendas in Post-War Syria and the Push for Greater Israel with help of a sect from Muslims:

In the unfolding geopolitical drama of post-war Syria, a disturbing pattern emerges; one that blurs the lines between diplomacy, economic recovery, and quiet subjugation. A coalition of Jewish-American investors, pro-Israel strategists, and hidden Arab tycoons are reshaping the region under the banner of “reconstruction,” but the real objective appears far more insidious: the long-term consolidation of the “Greater Israel” vision.

1. The Trump-Israel-Emirati Nexus: Marty Edelman’s Silent Power

At the center of this transformation is Marty Edelman, an 83-year-old Jewish-American real estate mogul with ties to Donald Trump and alleged Israeli citizenship. Despite not being a member of the Al Nahyan family, Edelman has become a key architect of Abu Dhabi’s global outreach, especially through ventures aligned with U.S. and Israeli interests.

Dubbed “Abu Dhabi’s man in Manhattan,” his involvement goes far beyond real estate. Edelman helped lay the foundation for the Abraham Accords, setting the stage for deeper normalization with Israel across the Gulf and now through Syria.

2. Julani, Mossad, and the Sacrifice of Sovereignty

In a shocking revelation, Julani handed over the personal archive of Mossad spy Eli Cohen to Israel via UAE intermediaries. Ostensibly a peace gesture to Trump, it was a clear betrayal of the memory of resistance against Zionist expansion.

3. Trump Tower Damascus: Real Estate as a Weapon

In an audacious bid for favor, UAE-backed Tiger Group has launched a $200 million proposal for a Trump Tower in Damascus: a grotesque fusion of capital, ego, and occupation. The Syrian interim government is reportedly supportive, with voices close to Ahmad al-Sharaa pushing the project forward.

This initiative, originally pitched by U.S. Congressman Joe Wilson, aims to whitewash decades of war crimes and foreign interference through economic gentrification disguised as diplomacy.

4. The 180-Day Ultimatum: Sanctions-for-Surrender

The suspension of Caesar Act sanctions by the U.S. Treasury is no humanitarian gesture; it’s a 180-day trap. The checklist is blunt:

• Normalize ties with Israel.
• Cut off Hezbollah and Palestinian factions.
• Invite only Western corporations.
• Accept foreign control over Syria’s energy and natural resources.
• Remain neutral when bombed by Tel Aviv or Washington.

This is not “peace.” It’s a corporate coup dressed in diplomatic etiquette.

5. The Complicity of Muslim States: Hypocrisy Exposed

The most damning element of this unfolding scenario is the complicity of several Muslim governments, particularly those aligning with Emirati and Saudi interests. While publicly denouncing Israel or voicing solidarity with Palestine, these actors are silently facilitating deals that undermine the axis of resistance and push the region toward a Greater Israel project.

This hypocrisy runs deep: nations that boycott resistance movements are now welcoming Israeli normalization under economic pretexts exposing how identity politics, fear of Iran, and personal enrichment override pan-Islamic solidarity.

Resistance or Rent-a-State?

Syria is being gutted twice: once by bombs, now by boardrooms. The same imperial actors that failed to conquer Damascus through warfare are now repossessing it via financial coercion and “peace deals.”

If current trajectories hold, what we’re witnessing is not a rebirth of Syria but a slow-motion handover to Greater Israel’s strategic designs, facilitated by the very elites who once wore the cloak of resistance.

This is not reconstruction. This is recolonization in real-time.
