🗞️ | Journalist Hassan Aliq wrote on X:

Professor Sami,

I hope you will allow me—setting political positions aside—to clarify an important point. An attack on the dignity of Grand Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is not merely a political act; it is an attack on a vast segment of Muslims, particularly Shiites. It targets a major religious authority, in addition to his political role in Iran.

Today, Sheikh Ali Al-Khateeb, Deputy Chairman of the Shia Council in Lebanon—who is known to belong to the school of Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani—warned that attacking Khamenei opens the door to a religious war on a global scale.

Let me be frank: for the supporters, admirers, and many followers of Grand Ayatollah Khamenei—and for many Shiite Muslims—the concept of borders loses all meaning when a religious authority is subjected to attack. This is the reality, even if you consider it a regrettable one.

If you wish to play a role in preventing this reality from becoming catastrophic, it would be more constructive to direct your criticism toward those who threaten war and mass killing: the United States of America and the Israeli occupation entity. Warning them about the dangers of their aggressive behavior may help prevent what many wise voices are cautioning against today.

🗞️ | Journalist Ahmad Sarhan writes:

With remarkable frankness, Donald Trump has threatened Iraq with destruction should Nouri al-Maliki return as prime minister.

It is worth noting that Iraq’s Coordination Framework—the largest coalition emerging from the most recent parliamentary elections and one that maintains strong relations with Iran—nominated Nouri al-Maliki for the premiership just days ago.

Today, the Iraqi Council of Representatives was scheduled to elect a president of the republic, who would then have formally tasked al-Maliki with forming the government. However, the parliamentary session failed to reach quorum and was therefore postponed.

It should also be said that Nouri al-Maliki’s previous term in office was far from flawless. He originally came to power with American approval and maintained cooperative relations with Washington on several issues. Yet it appears that the United States later concluded that Iran expanded its influence and consolidated its position in Iraq during al-Maliki’s tenure—a reality Washington now finds unacceptable.

❎ | We are sick of this culture. Beware of these cosplay Shias. First they push filthy propaganda against the Axis of Resistance, and then they conveniently rebrand themselves as “pro-Iran.” It is the same cheap performance every time, a hollow political LARP meant to deceive both Sunnis and Shias and confuse the public.

Under the banner of so-called “pro-resistance” discourse and the excuse of “freedom of speech,” they say whatever crosses their minds. They insult Islam, distort Shiism, attack Imam Khamenei, and undermine resistance fronts with reckless language, lies, and personal fantasies masquerading as analysis. This is not bravery. This is not honesty. This is sabotage.

Freedom of speech is not a license to abuse sacred beliefs, ridicule religious authority, or weaken a struggle built on blood, sacrifice, and discipline. Islam, Shiism, the marja‘iyyah, and the resistance are not playgrounds for attention-seekers and ideological impostors. There are clear red lines, and these people trample over them deliberately.

This behavior is unacceptable and cannot be justified or endorsed under any circumstances. It poisons discourse, misleads the masses, and ultimately serves the enemies of the resistance far more than it harms them. Real commitment requires loyalty, responsibility, and restraint, not loud posturing, moral cowardice, and ideological cosplay.

🔍 | “Shirazis and their trademark hypocrisy.” (1/2):

How strange and absurd it is to hear people trying to whitewash the infamous Shirazi current by claiming that Sadiq Shirazi and his synthetic marja‘iyyah care only about the Ahl al-Bayt and their followers, and have nothing to do with politics, especially not the politics of Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei.

This claim collapses the moment facts are examined. The Shirazi current has been repeatedly criticised by senior Shia scholars across Iran, Iraq, Lebanon, Bahrain, and Pakistan for promoting sectarian rhetoric, attacking Shia unity, and openly opposing the doctrine of Wilayat al-Faqih. These criticisms are not secret. Statements from scholars in Qom and Najaf have warned that Shirazi-linked media and preachers actively weaken Shias by turning internal differences into public warfare.

Shirazi-affiliated satellite channels such as Fadak TV and similar outlets have faced bans or restrictions in Iran due to content deemed inflammatory and socially destabilising. Bahraini Shia clerics have also warned that Shirazi-style provocations repeatedly provide regimes with excuses to repress Shia communities under the pretext of “public order.”

These are the same circles that largely ignored the genocide of Palestinians on the basis that they are “Sunnis,” a position openly justified and even celebrated by sections of their popular audience. At the same time, they remained silent over the mass killing of Lebanese Shias targeted for their association with the resistance. The implicit message is clear: if a Shia aligns with the resistance and Imam Khamenei, then his blood, his family’s blood, even his children’s blood becomes expendable. This logic mirrors Zionist reasoning far more than Islamic ethics.

When we speak of Sadiq Shirazi, we are not referring to one individual alone, but to a global network he cultivated, producing figures of different styles but the same ideological outcome. This network spans continents and operates through preachers, influencers, and agitators who consistently attack the Islamic Revolution while avoiding confrontation with imperial powers.

Among them is Ammar Nakshawani, an ultra-wealthy, celebrity-styled preacher who has been repeatedly criticised for depoliticising Shiism into ritual aesthetics while distancing Shia consciousness from resistance, imperialism, and real-world oppression. His selective discourse carefully avoids challenging Zionism or American power while repeatedly questioning resistance narratives.

Then there is Hasan Allahyari, known for openly aggressive, takfiri-style language against fellow Shias, incitement, and inflammatory rhetoric that has drawn condemnation even from non-Shirazi clerics. His discourse mirrors the logic of extremist sectarianism while claiming to defend Shiism.

And there is Tauhidi, whose public alignment with pro-Zionist and pro-Hindutva spaces, alongside attacks on the Islamic Republic and resistance movements, has made him a symbol of how far this current is willing to go. His rhetoric has found comfort in environments hostile to Shias and Muslims alike, yet he continues to speak in the name of Shiism.

Beyond these headline figures exists a second tier of Shirazi-aligned operatives who sit comfortably in Saudi Arabia, operate quietly inside Iraq, Europe, Pakistan, and India, and exploit local sensitivities differently depending on geography. Where resistance is strong, they soften their tone. Where repression is state-sponsored, they echo it.

In Pakistan, this current adopts a softer face because Pakistani Shias are historically alert to internal sabotage. There, they deploy figures who chant slogans for Imam Khamenei and pretend to have a “soft corner” for the lovers of Ali, only to later ask, “Why do you hate the Shirazis?” In India, they operate through informal networks and financial cliques, yet have failed to dominate because Indian Shias remain largely committed to unity and the legacy of the Islamic Revolution.

(2/2):


Some will ask us: Have you not seen individuals from their side who also stood for Iran and Lebanon?

Yes, we acknowledge that. We appreciate it and welcome it. But the real question remains: why do they still remain within that current? The double standards are not even hidden, unlike American velvet propaganda. This becomes obvious when their top figures openly mock the resistance, target its members, and abuse its martyrs. Is this not enough to make a clear choice of side?

If they still refuse to leave that camp, then what exactly are we expected to do? Continue making excuses for them, or seek their “support”? The Shirazi current has already caused immense damage by manufacturing large numbers of confused and politically hollow individuals, especially in the West, who constantly attack and distort the core values of Shiism. Their harm cannot be limited to hostility toward Iran, Imam Khomeini, or Imam Khamenei alone. Their primary enmity is toward the foundational principles of Shiism itself, where the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt stood with seriousness against oppression, not with appeasement, neutrality, or alignment with oppressors.

Most revealing of all is their silence.

Where were these loud mourners of the Ahl al-Bayt (A) when more than 1,100 Iranians shias of Ahl al-Bayt were martyred through American and Israeli actions? Where were they when thousands of Iranians "Shias" were killed during unrest amplified and justified by Western narratives? Where were they when dozens of shrines linked to the descendants of the Ahl al-Bayt were burned and desecrated? When hundreds of mosques were damaged and thousands of violent incidents occurred, where were the condemnation letters? Why did the Shirazi leadership have nothing to say about this? Why was there no outrage, no mourning, no sermons, no mobilisation?

If the Saudis are rightly condemned for destroying the graves in Jannat al-Baqi‘, then why is there no outrage when Pahlavi-aligned mobs burn the shrine of Muhammad ibn Musa al-Kadhim, the grandson of Sayyidah Fatimah Zahra, in Dezful, Iran? Why was there silence over the damage to the shrine of Imamzada Hasan, a descendant of Imam Hasan (A)? Why are these excluded from their so-called Islamic code of conduct? Is sanctity conditional on political convenience?

The answer is obvious. The Shirazi current represents selective outrage, ideological dishonesty, and political alignment disguised as religious purity. They deceive common Shias first, fracture belief second, and reserve their deepest hostility for the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khamenei, and the resistance.

This is not disagreement.
It is sabotage.
And it deserves to be named as such.

Another warning must be issued regarding the infamous Zionist-linked UMAA conference, which is reportedly being scheduled and is inviting a handful of problematic and deeply compromised figures from South Asia. These individuals frequently present themselves as “pro-revolutionary” and attempt to mask their real alignments with carefully crafted rhetoric. Beware of them. Their time will come. They will be exposed as well.

✅ | NOTAMs, stories about reconnaissance drones, aircraft movements, warships, jets, the arrival of ammunition, cancellations of international flights, and travel advisories issued by various countries are all part of the same recycled script. They come from one narrative pipeline, deliberately planted, aggressively promoted, endlessly exaggerated, and repeatedly circulated to keep pumping air into a manufactured monster balloon.

If things were truly clear and confirmed, if war were genuinely inevitable and the adversary were indeed the United States with a real and massive military buildup, these signs would not appear as rumors, leaks, and anonymous “reports.” They would be visible, undeniable, and concrete. What actually matters is not psychological noise, media hype, or recycled panic, but real preparation, real readiness, and the will to respond with substance.

Selected barrages of missiles, symbolic gestures, and loud theatrics that produce no decisive outcomes do not change equations. Optics are not victories. Survival without imposing real costs is not deterrence. Without consequences means-killing more on the enemy side, targeting their soldiers, their houses, hostels, killing their politicians and scientists-that genuinely weaken the enemy, claims of success remain internal, narrow, and self-congratulatory, never translating into pressure that forces the adversary to recalculate.

So, if the 400,000 Syrians are returned to the Takfiri Syria hub, this will potentially swell the ranks of the death squads in Syria which now include the conveniently released ISIS terrorists and their families. This is in preparation for the war against the Resistance in Iraq and further, perhaps Yemen and Iran if they are successful in Iraq - which is highly unlikely without US-Zionist air cover. On the ground they will be destroyed by the Resistance forces.

🏴‍☠️ | The terrorist icon of all centuries, Julani, has now arrived in Russia. According to the Russia 24 channel, the Kremlin stated that the two sides will discuss the future of Russian forces in Syria, as well as economic cooperation and the broader situation in the region.

Russia’s position on Syria is becoming increasingly clear today, and even more exposure is likely to follow tomorrow. Whatever has happened and whatever is still unfolding is deeply revealing and problematic in nature. Syria under takfiri rule will not simply fall; it will decay and die through prolonged erosion and instability.

Meanwhile, the Kremlin refused to comment on the future of Bashar al-Assad, who is currently under asylum in Russia.
