‼️ | Based on the documented history of Shiism over the past 1,200 years, there is no precedent for a high-ranking Wali al-Faqih and marja’ taqlid to be martyred on the battlefield during a foreign enemy’s invasion of the country’s soil. By this clear criterion, Imam Khamenei is the first marja’ taqlid and Wali al-Faqih to be martyred in such circumstances, not on the margins of power, but in the midst of war and defense.

Currently, the election and announcement of the new leadership will take place at the appropriate time, for example, after about a month, as the interim council is eligible to carry out the duties of leadership. However, there are many important issues that must be understood in this context. The Islamic world and the Shia community have been led and managed under the guidance of Imam Khamenei (r).

The role of Wali al-Faqih (Guardian Jurist; Wali al-Amr al-Muslimeen) is to implement leadership over all Muslims. In Shia doctrine, the position of Wali al-Amr cannot remain vacant for long, as it concerns the affairs (umur) of the entire Muslim community, including both social and political matters. Therefore, any retreat, negotiation, or limitation in war before achieving victory or martyrdom is considered impossible according to Shia Islamic law.

A retreat without taking revenge would constitute a major weakness and failure to uphold the cause of Wilayah, which continues under the guidance of a fallible leader until, or unless, the 12th Imam, Imam Mahdi (A), reappears. The role of Wali al-Faqih was expanded and clarified under the leadership of the martyred Imam, and its significance is now clear to all. This role fulfills the Qur’anic requirement for a leader of the Ummah, a view agreed upon by both Shia and Sunni fuqaha.

That is why the Assembly of Experts, without delay, will choose the new leader. This ensures the highest social and spiritual strength for millions of Shias across the world and for Muslims in general. Even if the election takes place on the battlefield and the leader attains martyrdom the following day, the duty of leadership remains.

This is consistent with the Shia school of Imamate, where leadership transfers to the next Imam while the flames of Karbala continue to burn. The next leader, the upcoming Sayyid, will assume the role during one of the most decisive conflicts in history. He will carry the greatest responsibility on Earth: to advance the movement of the Islamic Revolution, preserve the Islamic Republic, uphold the Shia school of thought, and lead the global resistance, as his predecessors did.

The time is extremely crucial. The situation cannot be compared to anything in the past. Every decision, every action, and every stand taken in the coming days will shape the fate of the Islamic Ummah and the Shia community. Its significance cannot be fully expressed in words.

The world is now witnessing a historic moment. Those who lead must do so with courage, wisdom, and steadfast faith, ensuring that the legacy of Imam Khamenei continues and the objectives of the Islamic Revolution are fulfilled.

✅ | The Turkish Ministry of Defense claims that Iran launched a ballistic missile toward U.S. assets in Turkey. NATO air defenses in the eastern Mediterranean reportedly intercepted the missile successfully.

Additionally, a high-ranking Iranian official told Tasnim News Agency that if the Israeli entity carries out any hostile actions against Iranian diplomatic missions or diplomats in Lebanon, similar retaliatory measures will be taken in other countries against Israeli centers and citizens.

The time has come. This day marks the expansion of the war. American assets in Turkey and Azerbaijan have been added to Iran’s target bank.

🟧 | Iran’s Revolutionary Guard announces multiple successful strikes on US and regional targets:

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) announced a series of coordinated military operations:

• The Naval Force destroyed the American strategic radar FPS-132 in Qatar, after previous partial strikes failed to fully disable it.

• Iranian air defenses shot down two Israeli Hermes drones and one MQ9 drone over Isfahan in central Iran.

• Three missiles successfully struck bases and headquarters of separatist terrorist groups in Iraqi Kurdistan, achieving their operational objectives with precision.

• The deputy secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council stated that Iranian strikes did not target embassies, hospitals, oil fields, or civilian sites, focusing solely on American military installations.

• The IRGC framed the operations as a demonstration that “the most boastful army in the world is fleeing the region”, while also claiming that American allies are scrambling to provide air defense systems and that US attempts to camouflage military targets within civilian facilities are under full Iranian surveillance.

• The IRGC warned that continued American “mischief and deception” will lead to the collapse of military and economic infrastructure across the region.
