🏴 | Ayatullah Muhammad Ridha Mamqani (r) passed away:

Ayatullah Muhammad Ridha Mamqani (r) passed away, leaving behind a legacy of scholarship and devotion that spanned decades. Born in Najaf around 1954 CE, he belonged to a family renowned for its knowledge and piety: his father, Sheikh Muhammad Ali (Muhyi al-Din Al-Mamaqani), and his grandfather, Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Abdullah Al-Mamaqani, were both eminent scholars, as was his great-grandfather, Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Muhammad Hassan Al-Mamaqani. On his mother’s side, he descended from the distinguished Kashif al-Ghita’ family. He began his education in local schools before entering the seminary, excelling in both religious and rational sciences. From a young age, he organized study circles and taught his peers. He studied under leading scholars in Najaf, including Sayyid Muhammad Hassan al-Hakim, Sheikh Ali al-Musabbih al-Ahsa’i, and Sayyid al-Samadi al-Bahbahani, and later under Grand Ayatollahs in Qom such as Mirza Kazim al-Tabrizi, al-Ruhani, and al-Khorasani. He combined seminary studies with formal academic studies in philosophy and theology in Mashhad, often prioritizing seminary classes while continuing to teach and guide students from across the region.

Over his lifetime, Sheikh Muhammad Ridha Mamqani authored and edited nearly 81 works, including critical editions of classical texts, encyclopedias on hadith and jurisprudence, and treatises on legal theory. He completed, supplemented, and expanded the works of his father and grandfather, producing multi-volume projects such as Tanqih al-Maqal fi ’Ilm al-Rijal and Miqbas al-Hidayah. He also contributed to studies in rational sciences, theology, and Arabic literary arts. In addition to his scholarly work, he trained hundreds of students from Iraq, Lebanon, Iran, and the Gulf, maintaining rigorous oversight of their studies and ensuring their moral and intellectual development. He received authorization to transmit hadith from leading scholars but later exercised discretion in granting permissions based on his own understanding.

• Enemies may be able to start a war, but they will not determine how it ends.

• The Deputy Foreign Minister said at the Human Rights Council meeting: Iran and the Iranian people will stand firmly against any conspiracy.

• Iranians are not people who attack other countries, but they know well how to defend their land decisively.

• We seek justice for all the blood that has been unjustly shed.

• Enemies of Iran, who suffered a severe and painful defeat in the 12-day war, tried this time to create conditions for another military operation through unrest and riots.

• For this reason, they turned people’s peaceful protests about the economic situation into riots.

• Rioters and terrorists carried out ISIS-like crimes such as burning people alive, beheading, and staging killings, along with widespread use of firearms, which led to the deaths of 2,427 innocent people and protectors of order and security, out of a total of 3,117 who died in these incidents.

• Some anti-human groups, with political motives, publish fabricated numbers of the dead, while none of them have been able to document and refute the country’s official statistics.

• The main instigators of these events, especially the United States and the Zionist regime, who were once again defeated by the people of Iran, and their tool, the deposed and fugitive dictator’s son, must answer for their crimes against humanity.

🇾🇪 | Sayyid Abdulmalik Badr al-Din al-Hausi (H) – 5 Ramadan 1447 AH:

• Despite the enemies’ reliance on deception, such as the Trump council, they are clearly evident in practice through their daily crimes against the Palestinian people.

• The enemies are increasingly targeting Islamic holy sites, foremost among them Al-Aqsa Mosque. They have imposed additional restrictions that limit worshippers and restrict access to it.

• The enemies have set a specific ceiling and a fixed number for those permitted to pray at Al-Aqsa Mosque. This is a very dangerous and hostile step.

• One of the ultimate goals of the Jews is the destruction of Al-Aqsa Mosque, ending it as a great Islamic holy landmark, and replacing it with their alleged Temple.

• The enemies are trying to bring the nation to a state of indifference, where it overlooks everything they do. This is extremely dangerous.

• The daily killings in Gaza have not stopped. The demolition of buildings continues, and the state of starvation and siege persists.

• Serious violations in the West Bank continue by the Israeli enemy.

• Intensive Zionist attacks, including airstrikes and other forms of aggression, continue against Lebanon despite agreements and guarantees.

• The statements of the American ambassador reflect the policies of his country and the direction of its administration.

• The Israeli enemy breaks its commitments, and its American guarantor is a partner in all its crimes, aggression, objectives, and conspiracies.

• The American ambassador has made many statements affirming the U.S. position supporting the Israeli enemy in its efforts to control the region, its peoples, its countries, and its resources.

• We must clearly understand that we are a targeted nation and that we face this Israeli-American tyranny.

• The Israeli-American Jewish tyranny is exposed and clear, and its slogans clearly express its explicit objectives.

• The only hope for this nation and its path to salvation lies in holding firmly to God; other paths are merely consumptive and draining, a waste of time.

• When the nation relies on draining approaches, it attaches its hopes to a mirage, and decades of experience have proven this.

• With hopes pinned on the so-called Palestinian Authority through the Oslo Accords and beyond, we see in the West Bank the worst violations, including displacement, destruction, and looting.

• The nation has no option before the Israeli enemy except to confront it and strive to rid itself of it.

🇮🇶 | A political & military escalation centered on Kurdistan and the growing encirclement of Iran:

As we have reported, Americans consolidates its presence in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, the land threat against Iran is increasing. Recent developments from gatherings in regional waters to the presence and deployment of heavy equipment near the northeastern periphery of Iran’s borders confirm that pressure is building across several fronts. Last night; Iraqi resistance factions and Hezbollah have warned Kurdish authorities not to allow their territory to become bait for American plans to destabilize the region and launch attacks. The American preparation to target the Islamic Republic is escalating from Syria and passing through the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

This situation is connected with earlier warnings about suspicious movements of armed elements across areas of Iraqi Kurdistan suspected of involvement in cross-border security activities against Iran. At the same time, the relocation of U.S. troops and facilities from Arab areas of Iraq toward Kurdistan is happening at a very high speed. Washington claims these moves are related to withdrawal agreements, but the shift toward Kurdistan suggests a different direction of planning which means the bases are being repositioned closer to Iran and to Iraqi resistance strongholds.

Security developments inside Iraq also fit into this wider environment. Iraq’s Counter-Terrorism Service recently arrested suspected ISIS members in Kirkuk, Mosul, and Baghdad and destroyed hideouts and cave complexes in operations across several regions. At the same time, there are repeated warnings that ISIS 2.0 is being reorganized with training activity, recruitment networks, and logistical hubs across northern Iraq and areas such as the Al-Hol camp. Routes passing through Turkey and bases such as Zelikan near Mosul are frequently mentioned, which means militant infrastructure is still active and can be used for destabilization when needed.

Another major development is the alliance formed by five Iranian Kurdish separatist groups: PJAK, Komala, PAK, PDKI, and Khabat. They created a bloc known as the Alliance of Political Forces of Iranian Kurdistan. This move is seen as preparation for coordinated action during a possible confrontation involving the United States and its partners. Figures linked to these organizations have openly declared hostility to Iran and are accused of cooperating with Israeli intelligence, using the Kurdistan Region as a base. Iran has warned Iraqi authorities many times about the presence of these groups and some of their bases in northern Iraq have already been targeted after those warnings.

Pressure is also visible along Iran’s southeastern direction. In the Pakistan-Balochistan region, several militant groups that emerged from structures like Jundullah and Jaish al-Adl are believed to be merging with other formations to create a unified corridor of activity. According to this view, these networks are being rebranded and reorganized under new labels which means cross-border operations could continue while appearing as new entities. Rising tensions between Pakistan and Afghanistan and instability in surrounding areas add another layer of pressure along Iran’s borders.

At the same time, developments involving Turkey, Azerbaijan, and northern Syria indicate a broader strategic environment forming along Iran’s western and northwestern fronts. Increased reconnaissance near Iranian borders, military buildup connected to Ankara and Baku, and activity around corridors such as Zangezur are interpreted as part of a larger structure of pressure. In this scenario, several actors operate simultaneously which means the objective is not only direct confrontation but also the creation of multiple pressure points around Iran.

Inside Iran, there are also warnings that external pressure is being combined with attempts to create internal divisions, especially sectarian tensions.

A possible attempt by Kurdish separatists to seize parts of western Iran with Israeli support. Around 5,000–8,000 Iranian Kurdish fighters near the Iraq–Iran border are reportedly preparing for a potential cross-border offensive.

According to the report, the fighters aim to seize Iranian border towns if conditions allow, while Israeli strikes in western Iran are said to be creating conditions that Kurdish militants hope to exploit. Any such operation would likely require air support from both the United States and Israel.

Networks operating across Pakistan, Europe, and other regions are accused of using media, debates, and religious platforms to deepen divisions among Iranians. This approach focuses on weakening internal unity which means the external strategy is paired with internal destabilization attempts.

When all these developments are placed together, the pattern becomes clearer. U.S. repositioning in Iraqi Kurdistan, militant restructuring in Iraq and Syria, alliances among Kurdish separatist groups, activity along the Pakistan-Balochistan corridor, and regional militarization are all occurring at the same time. This suggests a multi-directional buildup around Iran where pressure is applied from several fronts simultaneously. Whether it results in open confrontation or continues as long-term strategic pressure, the situation indicates that the region around Iran is moving into a more volatile phase driven by proxy activity, border tensions, and competing geopolitical agendas.

🇮🇶 | The security official of the Islamic Resistance, Hezbollah Brigades, Abu Ali al-Askari (H):

In His Name, the Most High

• The severe tensions witnessed in the region, along with increasing scenarios involving the threats of the criminal Donald Trump against the Islamic Republic by moving his naval fleets and preparing his military bases in the region to launch another aggression against the Iranian people and their resources, call us to point out the following:

• First: American readiness is escalating to target the Islamic Republic of Iran from Syria, passing through the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, in a path taking on a land-based character.

• Second: The Kurds of the region must exercise rationality and not get involved in a military adventure targeting Islamic Iran.

• Third: We emphasize the necessity for the Iranian security and military apparatuses to be on high alert to confront any movement targeting Iran and its northwestern borders.

Peace be upon the righteous servants of God.

🏴‍☠️ | Trump is a not crazy man as many see, but rather a man who likes to appear crazy because this helps him achieve his goals as long as the cost is acceptable. What distinguishes Trump from others is that nothing stops him except high costs. He does not care about his image or the image of his country, nor about international law or seeking legitimacy for his decisions. He is not concerned with his allies, nor with the future of the United States, but instead with how the world will remember his presidency. At the same time, his decisions are governed by a wide range of factors, most importantly his ability to achieve what is desired, which is not limited to military power but also includes the surprises Washington may have against any party, the cost he will incur in pursuing what he wants, the influence of lobbies within the United States, the voices within his administration including the “Israel first” current, the economic benefit of any decision taken, his appearance as a man who can do what he wants, and estimating the reaction of the second party if Washington decides to confront. From this perspective, the option of going to war against Iran becomes governed mainly by these factors. If Trump realizes that the military option is viable, its cost is acceptable, and it has positive economic effects on the United States in the short and medium term, he will go to war even if negotiations are successful. Without these factors, it will be difficult for Trump to make a major decision against Iran that could lead to igniting the region.

🏴‍☠️ | U.S. military buildup in the Middle East is the largest since the 2003 Iraq War:

Military and economic analysts say the current American military deployment in the Middle East is the most significant since the war in Iraq in 2003.

The buildup reportedly includes:

• Two aircraft carriers

• Around 40,000 U.S. troops

• More than 150 fighter aircraft

• A large air and naval fleet deployed across Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and other Gulf bases.

Dr. Ahmed Al-Shami, a transport economics expert, stated:

“Operating the buildup costs approximately $55–60 million per day, and its primary aim is deterrence and pressure on Iran.”

Faisal Al-Hamad, a Saudi military analyst, said:

“The buildup is massive and could quickly turn into full combat operations, and it equals or even surpasses the deployment during the 2003 Iraq War.”

Meanwhile, Abdullah Al-Shaye’ noted:

“The deployment was designed to show Washington’s ability to impose a high cost on any escalation, and its military options are not merely verbal threats.”

According to estimates, maintaining this force costs the United States over $55 million per day, and expenses could increase up to fivefold if military operations begin potentially bringing major economic consequences for the region.

🏴‍☠️ | What is the ultimate goal?

Where these Kurdish terror groups in the northwest and southeast fit into this scenario?, what the role of celebrities is, and how Iran’s regions and provinces factor into the situation are among the questions raised.

According to the possible objectives of the West and the israelis, after America attacks Iran, the first and most important goal would be gaining control of the skies.

During the previous attack by israel, the attrition of the air force and the distance between israel and Iran meant that between the waves of israeli attacks, Iranian forces in all military branches, from the army to the Aerospace Force of the IRGC, had the opportunity to launch drones, cruise missiles, and ballistic missiles.

As a result, the inability to overcome the distance in the air caused israel to pay the price in its streets, where massive destruction occurred in israeli cities. Although in some waves of attacks control was gained over parts of Iran’s skies, the skies over israel also became a highway for Iranian missiles, and Iran struck wherever it decided, despite some differences in impact.

This was israel’s experience from the previous war, and attempts were made to compensate for it in a future conflict. But the experience on the Iranian side showed that there was no transformative air force with dozens of upgraded fighter jets connected in a strong aerial network with long-range air-to-air missiles, and in fact such a capability still does not exist.

However, on the ground good work has been carried out, a series of purchases has been made, and in the event of war these may fill gaps in air defense, electronic warfare, and projectiles.

israel transferred its unsuccessful experience in maintaining permanent control over Iran’s skies to the American side. Because of this, America has sent many tanker aircraft and fighter jets so that at the very first moment of war, with massive bombardment using all kinds of munitions and through air and air-defense suppression, permanent control over Iran’s skies could be achieved and the launch of missiles by the Aerospace Force could be prevented. The reason for deploying so many aerial refueling aircraft is to maintain a continuous presence over Iran’s skies.

The question of whether the capability exists to achieve that objective arises. With some reflection and effort, the answer presented in the analysis is yes. This is something that israel might not be able to achieve even after decades, which explains the reliance on American military superiority and the involvement of Trump in the equation.

At that point, America and israel would begin targeted and massive bombardments, focusing mainly on military, law enforcement, and security centers.

If control over Iran’s skies, which is considered the main goal of America, is achieved, even a single mistake by the Americans would mean the collapse of America’s prestige. Even the opportunity for dozens of missiles to be launched would mean the end of America’s aura. It would be enough for those missiles to hit locations where America intends to move logistics; that scenario would signify the end of American influence in West Asia and would also severely damage israel.

In any case, if control over Iran’s skies is achieved by America and israel, airborne operations and heliborne landings by American forces would become possible. According to the analysis, nuclear facilities, missile cities, and the coast of the Strait of Hormuz could be among the targets.

From the American perspective, after the final suppression and weakening of the central government’s power structure, America would withdraw and the second phase of hybrid interventions would begin.

Kurdish groups would enter from the northwest and start creating military insecurity there, clashing with security forces.

The presence of helicopters and fighter jets would become less decisive if control of the skies is lost, as the israeli air force would be present overhead, directly supporting their advance, and other actors could also enter the field. These groups would not be capable of victory, as they number only a few thousand, but support from certain internal elements could initially ignite conflict in the northwest, though they would ultimately suffer a heavy defeat. However, the larger concern would be the resulting situation: the possibility of being dragged into urban warfare similar to what occurred in Syria, Iraq, and other places.

A similar situation could occur in the southeast, where terrorist groups claiming liberation could follow the same path.

Although these groups are incapable of defeating the military forces or the population, they would represent only one factor of instability among many, all aimed at weakening the central government so that Iran would ultimately bow to the West.

Regarding Iran, America’s objective in the first phase would be to create three regions (entities): central, Baluchi, and Kurdish. Analysis indicates that Azeri-speaking populations are likely to support the Islamic system with even greater intensity. This assessment is informed by developments in the northwest of the country.

Assessment of possible responses shows that multiple solutions exist. While some measures may be less effective, others can be fully implemented as countermeasures.

This was we describing the enemy’s thesis and objectives without presenting the antithesis. Among the potential options, pre-emptive action is considered one of the primary measures.

America may ultimately fail to achieve these objectives, effectively taking these goals to the grave. Furthermore, analysis notes that Trump’s tenure appears to be approaching its natural end, with a simple, natural death expected, an outcome even his own side may not anticipate.
