🇮🇷 Report — The courtyard of Hazrat Zahra (S) was inaugurated in Najaf al-Ashraf, Iraq in the presence of Hujjat al-Islam Mohammadi Golpayegani, Head of the Office of Imam Khamenei.

The project is part of the work of the Headquarters for the Development and Reconstruction of the Holy Shrines (Setad-e Tose‘eh va Bazsazi-ye ‘Atabat-e ‘Aliyat), which was established in 2003 by the order of Imam Khamenei (H). The Headquarters was formed with the aim of reconstructing, developing, and investing billions in mosques, the shrines of the Prophets and Imams, the Ahl al-Bayt, and Islamic scholarly and religious heritage sites across the world particularly in Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Iran, and other regions.

The Headquarters operates as a non-governmental, voluntary, and non-profit organization with an international scope, and its mandate is unlimited in duration. In 2022, its budget amounted to 1,300 billion tomans. The organization is registered as a people-based institution with Iran’s Ministry of Interior.

From its inception, Martyr Qassim Soleimani was appointed by Imam Khamenei as the official directly responsible for the establishment and supervision of the Headquarters. Until August 2019, the organization was headed by Hassan Palarak, after which Mohammad Jalal-Maʿab assumed leadership.

The Headquarters has carried out extensive activities in numerous Iraqi cities, including Najaf, Karbala, Kazimayn, Kufa, Samarra, Musayyib, and Balad, and since 2014 it has also been active in Syria. By 2020, nearly 3,000 personnel, were engaged in its projects across Iraq and Syria. It is estimated that, due to the efforts of Imam Khamenei and the substantial contributions from the Shiʿa world, almost all major Islamic heritage sites belonging to both Sunni and Shiʿa traditions have been preserved and conserved through these initiatives.

🟨 | Statement issued by Hezbollah regarding an American individual’s desecration of the Holy Qur’an:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Hezbollah strongly condemns, in the harshest terms, the disgraceful crime and abhorrent act committed by an American individual, consisting of the desecration of the Holy Qur’an in a provocative scene saturated with hatred and incitement. This act constitutes a blatant assault on the most sacred sanctities of Muslims and on the religious and human values represented by all revealed religions.

Hezbollah asserts that the racist culture and hate-filled rhetoric fostered by political and media currents in the West, which for decades have worked to distort the image of Islam through incitement by successive U.S. administrations and Zionist lobbies, in service of their divisive, colonial, and destructive projects, are the primary reason such extremists dare to commit these despicable acts.

Hezbollah further emphasizes that the U.S. administration’s refusal to take any action against the perpetrators of such offenses, under the false pretext of freedom of opinion and expression, constitutes proof that the administration provides full cover for these dangerous incitement practices. This, it says, reflects the inherent malice embedded in the policies of American politicians, aimed at fueling religious hatred and stoking conflicts among peoples.

The statement adds that this crime is neither an isolated step nor an individual act. Rather, these obsessed individuals are mere puppets in the hands of global arrogance, whose tyrants seek to weaken Islam because it represents a moral and ethical system that stands as a firm barrier against moral decay, criminality, and aggression against peoples—values that the arrogant powers in these countries work to promote globally.

Hezbollah calls upon the Arab and Islamic nation—its peoples, leaders, and religious and cultural authorities—as well as the followers of all heavenly religions, to launch the broadest campaign of condemnation of this malicious criminal act and to adopt a firm and clear stance rejecting any violation of the sanctities and sacred symbols of Islam or any divine message. Such heinous acts, the statement concludes, only serve to fuel hatred and undermine all efforts aimed at strengthening understanding and peace among peoples.

Not a single word is needed for anyone with a heart to understand the pain and suffering of the oppressed

Which words do you begin with to describe it...

🇪🇺 | Europe is facing growing internal financial pressure as it increasingly relies on borrowing backed by its own taxpayers. EU leaders have reached an agreement to provide a €90 billion loan to Ukraine, raised against the bloc’s shared budget, after a proposal to use immobilised Russian sovereign assets failed.

The financial arrangement is presented as a critical lifeline for Ukraine and comes amid Europe’s efforts to maintain influence in US-led peace discussions. Following the summit, European Council President António Costa stated, “We committed, we delivered.”

For several months, EU member states had debated the use of approximately €210 billion in Russian assets, most of which are held in Belgium, to support a reparations-style loan for Kyiv. Belgium requested extensive guarantees to cover potential financial risks, demands that other member states ultimately rejected, according to officials familiar with the negotiations.

After more than sixteen hours of discussions, EU leaders agreed in the early hours of Friday to raise €90 billion on capital markets. The loan will be secured against unused spending capacity within the EU’s shared budget and is intended to finance Ukraine over the next two years.

The decision to rely on EU taxpayer-backed borrowing rather than Russian assets represents a political setback for German Chancellor Friedrich Merz and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, both of whom had supported the reparations loan proposal and sought to persuade Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever to withdraw his objections. EU leaders also agreed that the €90 billion loan plan would not impose any financial obligations on the Czech Republic, Hungary, or Slovakia.

This development has intensified debate within Europe over the domestic economic consequences of the war. Observers note that, in aligning closely with broader transatlantic strategic objectives, European governments are increasingly absorbing the financial costs themselves. Across many EU states, citizens have experienced rising prices, reduced purchasing power, and growing pressure on daily living standards compared to the period before the Ukraine war, raising concerns about the long-term social and economic implications of financing the conflict through public borrowing.

🗞️ | Khaleel Nasrallah writes:

The Americans are launching continuous airstrikes tonight, claiming that they are targeting buildings and weapons depots belonging to the terrorist organization ISIS in central Syria.

The United States has previously carried out thousands of airstrikes over many years against vast areas controlled by the group when it dominated large parts of Syria and Iraq, yet these strikes did not change anything in terms of the organization’s operations or momentum.

What truly changed beginning in 2017 was the launch of ground operations against the group, as carried out by the forces of the resistance axis in what became known as the major “Dawn” operations.

Even Washington later supported these efforts indirectly through air cover and military advisers provided to the SDF and tribal forces east of the Euphrates, benefiting from the operations conducted by the axis.

Accordingly, the airstrikes being carried out tonight are merely a show of force, for several reasons, most notably that ISIS no longer controls territory and now operates only as small cells that carry out ambushes and then disappear.

🏴‍☠️| Reports indicate that a batch of U.S. missiles was launched earlier from the Al-Shaddadi base toward eastern Syria. During the night, U.S. and Jordanian forces reportedly struck more than 70 ISIS targets across Syria using over 100 precision-guided munitions. The strikes coincided with an elevated security alert for Badia security forces in the triangle region encompassing Raqqa, Deir Ezzor, and Homs, amid intensified U.S. operations against ISIS positions.

The U.S. is targeting a group that it originally created, trained, and allowed to operate under indirect command structures. These groups are fragmented among themselves, and due to their excessive proliferation, the current wave of bombings appears largely symbolic and aimed at projecting power rather than achieving real counterterrorism outcomes. It is evident that these strikes did not result in meaningful human losses among the terrorist ranks, nor did they eliminate any major leadership figures, including those associated with what is now referred to as ISIS 2.0.

Moreover, there is no confirmed evidence that this group has fully re-emerged as an organized force with tangible control on the ground [or does it really exists?]. Instead, it appears to exist mainly as dispersed cells, useful for narrative construction rather than as a genuine strategic threat. The absence of verified casualties or infrastructure damage further raises questions about the actual objectives of these operations.

In this context, the U.S. is using such strikes to manufacture the image of sustained anti-terror operations, thereby legitimizing its continued military presence. This narrative helps solidify its strategic foothold in Syria and Iraq, secures operational freedom for its bases, and maintains regional leverage under the pretext of counterterrorism.

🏴‍☠️ | The terrorist Julani was celebrating the removal of Caesar sanctions against Syria while displaying a map with no Golan Heights. Terrorist Julani has effectively sold the Golan to American and Israeli interests, yet somehow continues to feed the religious frustrations of a takfiri cult and its blind followers [they call themselves Sunnis; though a mole gang hidden inside righteous sunnis]

✅ | It is interesting that those who are supporting, praising, and spreading the pro-HTS narrative are present mainly on media platforms and, in the majority of cases, have no direct links with the West Asian land itself. They function largely as media bots and indirectly Mossad-funded accounts, forming a mass cult of traitorous, self-styled Islamic scholars who glorify these actors without understanding what they actually preach or practice. Their engagement is performative, detached from ground realities, and driven by algorithmic amplification rather than lived experience.

The Syrian invasion, its fall, and its gradual disintegration have been carried out more effectively through this method than by drones or missiles. Imam Khamenei has repeatedly emphasized that modern warfare is primarily a software war, and the Syrian case confirms this clearly. The battle over perception, narrative control, and psychological conditioning has preceded and surpassed physical confrontation.

Syria’s lack of a robust internet infrastructure and independent media presence on the ground has allowed externally curated narratives to dominate. What people see is limited to what social media platforms allow them to see, filtered through selective footage, emotive framing, and coordinated messaging. This distortion creates an illusion of consensus and legitimacy where none exists.

This is why many politically aware observers are raising concerns across Islamic societies. They recognize that Pakistani, Indian, Bengali, Algerian, and other non-regional online actors are being mobilized as narrative tools, often unknowingly celebrating the collapse of a country and a society with which they have no historical, social, or lived connection. This phenomenon itself is evidence of how deeply the software war has penetrated contemporary wars.

🇮🇷 | The Iranian judiciary punished and executed Aqeel Keshavarz on proven charges of spying for the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, in exchange for money.

He was arrested by an Iranian Army security patrol in Urmia while filming the headquarters of the Urmia Infantry Division. During an inspection of his mobile phone, a message from an Israeli phone number was discovered, along with additional documents and evidence, including a coded notebook containing the names and addresses of several security institutions.

Based on his own testimony and other evidence, the legal court decided to execute him, and he was hanged until death.
