🟨 | Statement issued by Hezbollah’s Media Relations Office after the killing of journalist and imam of Al-Housh Mosque, Ali Nour al-Deen:

"Hezbollah’s Media Relations strongly condemns the treacherous assassination carried out by the Israeli enemy against the journalist and imam of Al-Housh town in the city of Tyre, Ali Nour al-Deen, in an attack that amounts to a war crime. This adds to the enemy’s record, already filled with brutal crimes against journalists, civilians, and humanity as a whole.

The targeting of the martyred journalist Sheikh Ali Nour al-Deen warns of the grave danger posed by the enemy’s escalating attacks, which aim to strike the media sector in all its forms and titles, as part of a continued policy of systematic assassinations and attempts to silence the voice of truth and free speech. This calls upon all journalists, the Ministry of Information, media organizations, unions, institutions, as well as political and intellectual figures, to act and raise their voices loudly in all local, Arab, and international forums—especially human rights, legal, and humanitarian arenas—to stop this Zionist barbarism.

Hezbollah’s Media Relations extends its deepest condolences and prayers to the family of the martyr and the Lebanese media community, asking God to envelop the martyr in His vast mercy and grant patience and solace to his loved ones."

🗞️ | Khaleel Nasrallah writes:

• The timing of the Yemeni military media’s disclosure of details regarding the targeting of the British oil tanker “Marlin Luanda” with naval missiles in the Gulf of Aden—along with the type of missile used and the message conveyed at the time—is linked to the current developments in the region.

• The Secretary-General of Hezbollah was clear that the “party” itself falls within the scope of any war against Iran. Anyone who follows statements by Israeli officials, or commentators and correspondents close to the security or military establishment, can reach this conclusion. “Israel” itself does not hide the fact that it views Hezbollah through the lens of Iran and openly states that it is a target. In light of this scene, it is natural for the party’s position to be what its Secretary-General announced, aside from the religious and ideological connection related to the person of Sayyid Ali Khamenei. Both sides approach the issue from the standpoint of a “war of existence.”

• Trump acknowledges that Hamas assisted in determining the location of the body of the last captive in the Gaza Strip, but at the same time he adopts the next step being discussed by “Israel,” which is one of the objectives of its war and has been included in the provisions of its plans as part of the second phase—namely, “disarmament.” Trump did not limit himself to saying, “We must now disarm Hamas,” but went further to claim that the “movement” had promised to do so, which, according to what has been announced, has not happened. The complex, difficult, and lengthy phase has begun.

• Netanyahu’s words are a lesson for both Shiites and Sunnis.

Netanyahu stated: “We are in the midst of confronting the Iranian Shiite axis, but there is another extremist Sunni axis led by the Muslim Brotherhood.”

🇮🇷 | The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has carried out a major naval mobilization in the Gulf, deploying around 300 missile-equipped speedboats in what has been described as the largest nighttime show of force by its naval units, coinciding with the approach of the US aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln to Gulf waters. Strategic expert Alireza Tavassoli Nia stated that the operation featured an unprecedented combat formation, with hundreds of fast-attack missile boats entering full operational alignment for the first time and positioning themselves at close range to the US carrier as a direct signal of readiness for confrontation. He added that all naval missile systems were removed from fortified bunkers and directed toward designated targets, underscoring a high level of missile preparedness. According to Tavassoli Nia, Iran has also signaled that it retains the strategic option of closing the Strait of Hormuz in the event of any US military escalation, with the broader objective of establishing a deterrence balance and reshaping Washington’s calculations to reduce regional threats.

🇮🇷 | Statement by the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters in response to enemy media escalation:

A senior military official at the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters stated that any threat against Iran’s national security is being closely monitored; appropriate decisions will be made at the proper time, and full responsibility for any unintended consequences will rest with the provoking parties.

Iran’s Armed Forces monitor enemy movements not only at the stage of action, but from the earliest signs of a threat taking shape, and decisions will be made based on field assessments.

The notion of carrying out a “limited, rapid, and clean” operation against Iran stems from miscalculations and an incomplete understanding of Iran’s defensive and offensive capabilities; any scenario based on surprise would slip out of the planners’ control at its very early stages.

The maritime environment surrounding Iran is fully under the supervision of the Armed Forces, and the buildup of extra-regional forces and equipment in the area will not act as a deterrent, but rather increase their vulnerability.

Iran’s doctrine of asymmetric defense and its indigenous naval capabilities have shaped the military equations of the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman in such a way that no aggressor force can consider its security guaranteed.

🇱🇧 | Journalist Hussein Mortada on X:

The reference by His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem to the religious authorities, foremost among them Imam Sayyed Khamenei, establishes clear “red lines” that are not open to interpretation. This is not a hint of escalation but rather an exercise in the highest level of preventive deterrence. The message is intended to make the American administration understand that crossing these symbols would push the conflict beyond its conventional frameworks and trigger a comprehensive regional explosion. It is a rational effort to prevent catastrophe by presenting Washington with a real cost for any uncalculated adventure. Once again, this confirms that the party employs the language of force as a defensive tool to prevent a slide into war.

🇮🇷 | Statement From 3500 Iranian cultural and media activists to all our dear compatriots across the land of Iran:

History is the perpetual battlefield between humanity and Satan. The arrogant and misguided Iblis has stained all of human history with his traces and signs, and in every era and age has sown sedition among people in a particular form. At times Satan appeared as “Nimrod,” rebelling against truth-seekers and claiming divinity; at times as “Pharaoh,” sounding the trumpet of arrogance and pride; at times resembling “Qarun,” climbing upon the shaky pillar of hoarded wealth; and at times in the form of “Abu Sufyan,” threatening and constraining God’s chosen ones. Today, however, we live in an era in which it seems Satan has brought all his power into the field—embodied in a criminal who has inherited at once the pride of Nimrod, the tyranny of Pharaoh, the greed of Qarun, and the malice of Abu Sufyan: a savage man who never tires of killing, plundering, threatening, and boasting. Today’s world is the arena of the struggle between the front of truth and such a vile being—someone who is not merely the President of the United States of America, but in reality Satan incarnate.

Donald Trump—this Satan in human form and heir to all the devils of the world—these days sees only one obstacle standing in the way of his demonic rampage across the globe: an obstacle firm and fortified by faith and trust in God. Today, throughout the world, the only real barrier to the crimes of the criminal U.S. president is the wise leader and the noble nation of Iran. That is why the criminal and shameless Trump has deployed all his weapons against this leader and this nation—from threats and sanctions to insults. These flailings, however, are the very image of “the drowning man clutching at every straw,” a futile attempt to throw dust at the sun. Trump’s present condition mirrors that of Nimrod before his ignominious death by an insect, Pharaoh before the parting of the Nile, Qarun before the earth’s wrath, and Abu Sufyan before the conquest of Mecca. The free people and the wise leader of Iran, inspired by the legacy of Abraham, the tradition of Moses, and the wisdom of Muhammad (peace be upon him), stand alone against this embodiment of falsehood—and it is precisely this divine stance that has enraged that criminal killer against the Iranian people.

The approach of the criminal U.S. president toward the leader and people of Iran has ignited a wave of anger and hatred not only among the general population of Iran but also among Muslims worldwide. This widespread public anger, itself a manifestation of a “sacred unity” against the enemy, is a sign of the Iranian people’s cohesion in the face of an enemy who envisions for this land a nightmare of war, destruction, fragmentation, and slaughter. Our national unity around our esteemed leader is one of the pillars of our national identity as Iranians, and just as this unity was the key to the nation’s victory in the 12-day war with the Zionist regime, by God’s help it will also be the key to our victory in the hybrid war with bloodthirsty America.

We, a group of cultural and media figures of the Islamic Republic of Iran, in unison with senior officials of the country, religious scholars, professional guilds, various segments of society, and the Iranian people at large, deeply condemn the brazen insult by the U.S. president to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. We suggest to Donald Trump—this “Satan incarnate”—that he well remember the memories of the two legitimate and powerful strikes by the Islamic Republic of Iran on the Ayn al-Asad base in 2019 and the Al-Udeid base in 2025; for this is the land of those who have shattered the hollow hegemony of America since World War II and become the only nation in contemporary history to put hostile America in its place. Such a nation will also, with even greater power than before, defeat Satan in the face of any new ranting or threat—God willing.

We reaffirm that, in the realm of foreign policy and international relations, we remain committed to following the guidance and directives of His Eminence.

🇸🇦 | Statement from the organisations of Al-Qatif and Al-Ahsa, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia:


The threats issued today by Trump, targeting the Leader, Sayyid Ali Khamenei, and hinting at war against the Islamic Republic of Iran, reflect the same longstanding logic of arrogance—marked by haughtiness, contempt for nations, and reliance on intimidation.

We state clearly and without ambiguity:

The people of Qatif and Al-Ahsa are not neutral. We will not remain silent, nor will we stand on the sidelines in the face of any aggression or any violation targeting our leadership and our decisive choices. This region was never built on waiting; it was built on taking a stand, and it has never been known to retreat when dignity is under attack.

We are the sons of a long road—
A road whose cost has been paid in martyrs, prisoners, and accumulated sacrifices.

Those who have offered all of this will not be deterred by passing threats or reckless rhetoric.

We say this with full awareness and responsibility:

Any escalation against Iran, and any threat against the Leader, will be met with an active presence and a real role from the people of Qatif and Al-Ahsa—a different role, calculated and unprecedented—because this stage does not allow for spectatorship or empty flattery.

Those who raise the banner of war must understand:

Living nations are not broken by threats,

And those who open the doors to confrontation will bear its full consequences.

This is our clear, firm, and non-negotiable position.

The People of Qatif and Al-Ahsa

🇧🇭 | Ayatollah Sheikh Isa Qasim in Bahrain:

• The path of tyranny is accelerating toward its own end, as the rule of arrogance, ego, and ignorance hastens to reveal the most dangerous, corrupt, degrading, and heinous reality humanity can face—spiritually, morally, and in terms of security, and even in the basic conditions of daily livelihood.

• Life under unjust, savage, and submissive systems of rule poses a grave danger, as it destroys the remaining human values without which life itself cannot endure. Such systems disregard the lives of millions, take pleasure in bloodshed, and openly mock the dignity and worth of nations and peoples.

• The continuation of this reality is not distant from the day when the global conscience will cry out, and a profound intellectual and instinctive awakening will demand a just, divine Islamic governance—one that restores to human life its true meaning, lasting happiness, security, and God-given dignity through the establishment of truth, the abolition of falsehood, and the raising of the banner of justice, security, and peace.

🏴‍☠️ | With news emerging that Julani is rushing to meet Putin in Moscow, developments on the ground indicate a significant shift in Russia’s posture in Syria. At Damascus’s request, Russia has evacuated its base at Qamishli Airport in Hasakah Governorate, marking the end of the Russian military presence in northeastern Syria. Some of the withdrawing Russian forces are being redeployed to Hmeimim Air Base, while others are returning to Russia. Over the past two days, Russian military vehicles and heavy weapons have been transported from Qamishli to Hmeimim. Russia’s role in occupied Syria in the post–Bashar al-Assad era remains undisclosed and unclear to a significant extent; however, the current sequence of events has begun to expose the nature of Moscow’s approach to managing the Syrian situation.
