✅ | A striking example of what can be described as excessive leniency and over-ethical conduct within Iran’s judiciary and security system, at times extending into institutional or communal favoritism.

Ali Sharifi Zarchi, an influential Iranian academic and professor at the prestigious Sharif University of Technology, recently posted on X that “Ali Khamenei is not my leader.” During the 2022 Mahsa Amini unrest, he made a similar statement, which resulted in his dismissal by the university’s board of directors. However, he later submitted a letter seeking forgiveness, addressing Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei as the “Leader of the Islamic Revolution,” and explicitly acknowledging that he had been wrong. Following this apology, he was reinstated to his academic position.

Meanwhile, inside Iran, certain officials and responsible institutions spent months investing time and effort to rehabilitate and reintegrate figures like Zarchi into the academic and scientific sphere. In contrast, in Western countries, including the United States, a university professor can reportedly be dismissed simply for expressing support for the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.

Despite this contrast, outside Iran’s borders, the United States continues to be portrayed as a symbol of freedom-oriented movements, while the Iranian government is simultaneously accused of dictatorship by those same currents. Iran must move away from a pressure-and-fear-based leniency model and adopt a firmer approach toward individuals perceived as acting against the state, similar to stricter models employed elsewhere, in order to prevent repeated acts of dissent by the same figures.

Over-leniency and excessive ethics always lead to ruin.

🇮🇶 | General of Kata’ib Hezbollah:

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

Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our leader and Prophet Muhammad the Trustworthy, upon his pure and immaculate Household, and may Allah be pleased with his chosen and righteous Companions, His virtuous servants, the martyrs, and the fighters.

These days we commemorate the memory of the blood that inscribed the most radiant chapters of dignity and honor. The treacherous American bullet that pierced the bodies of the leaders of victory, Hajj Qassem Soleimani and Hajj Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in Iraq, was nothing but a desperate attempt to assassinate the will of the peoples of the resistance. They were leaders among the leaders of liberation, chosen by Allah to carry the banner of truth and resistance. If their bodies fell, their project rose with even greater solidity. Indeed, their blood has become a slogan echoed by every free person in Iraq and across the world.

The coming phase in Iraq requires a just government with full sovereignty, possessing an independent decision and exercising its authority over its land and skies. It is also necessary to intensify value-based Islamic fieldwork to confront manifestations of moral breakdown in society.

Likewise, building the security forces on professional and specialized foundations and equipping them with the means and capabilities needed to defend the country’s land and airspace is among the essential requirements of the next stage. The Islamic Resistance will remain present in offering its accumulated expertise in these fields.

The world is rapidly heading toward the law of the jungle, where survival of the strongest becomes the prevailing reality amid the near-total absence of international norms and laws. Perhaps the latest evidence of this is what occurred in the fully sovereign state of Venezuela, where a brutal American attack was launched in an effort to secure America’s energy needs, with the aim of subjugating the countries of the world that reject imperialism and American arrogance. This reality must remain present in our minds in order to build a professional defensive posture capable of confronting these dangers and challenges.

While we commend the exceptional efforts undertaken by the leaders of political blocs and the government in preserving the country and protecting its democratic path, we stress the necessity for some military leaders and honorable judges to avoid involvement in political polarizations due to the negative effects this entails on the neutrality of the security and judicial institutions. These institutions must remain an inclusive umbrella for the sons of the nation and a safeguard for its unity.

In conclusion, we extend our profound thanks and sincere praise to our brothers in the Iraqi Resistance for clarifying their position regarding the weapon of dignity, honor, and pride, and for remaining, as we have always known them, placing the interests of the Ummah above every other interest, steadfast on the path of defending the sovereignty of the country and the dignity of the people.

“Peace, a word from a Merciful Lord.”

🏴‍☠️ | Uncensored flight-tracking data shows at least 12 surveillance aircraft operating simultaneously over the Strait of Hormuz and Iranian airspace, including three U.S. reconnaissance planes and nine spy aircraft, some of them British. A U.S. CENTCOM aircraft, likely carrying the CENTCOM commander, has landed in Bahrain. At this moment, there is a high probability that preparations are underway for an escalation at sea, particularly scenarios involving a siege or attempted seizure or looting of Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf. The UAE may participate in such an offensive, but it would be a grave miscalculation and a dangerous choice for all parties involved.

✅ | The decline occurred for various reasons, and from the very beginning these riots were not strong. One major reason was the unity and awareness of the masses, including the youth, who came to understand who was behind the provocations and who was attempting to manipulate the situation.

The markets and trade unions are very loyal and committed to the Islamic Revolution. They are fully aware that the situation has fallen into the hands of foreign agencies. As a result, they withdrew their protests from many areas. A sane Iranian, regardless of religious inclination, will not burn shrines, mosques, or hussainiyehs, which play a vital daily role in their lives. People are fully aware of their importance.

That is why, when rioters were instructed to burn these places, protests in many towns and areas were withdrawn, leaving the rioters isolated. The police, following directives from various levels of authority and after the Leader explicitly stated that rioters should not be spared and must be shown their place, carried out mass arrests. In some cases, shots were fired in self-defense while still adhering to established protocols, and many rioters were spared when found fleeing.

Now, the main perpetrators are reportedly being arrested, and their connections with Mossad have been confirmed. A Germany-based network was dismantled at an early stage. The riots followed a clear pattern: they emerged and then quickly collapsed, showing that although they appeared united at the start, they fractured due to mass dismantling and arrests. The more details that emerge, the more exposed this operation becomes.

Thanks to global attention and the refusal to accept narratives pushed by Western media, support for the Leader and the Iranian nation has increased. This is evident on X, Instagram, and other social media platforms [check comments], which further undermined this large-scale sabotage attempt.

Once again, we reiterate that individuals and institutions linked to such riots pose a serious threat to national security. Legal proceedings followed by severe punishment are requested for all those involved.

🇮🇶 | United States does not want free and independent leaders; rather, it seeks submissive and compliant rulers. Most rulers in the region bow to it while acting tyrannically toward their own peoples except for those who have chosen the path of independence, foremost among them the Islamic Republic of Iran.
