🏴| [Archive] | Late Ayatollah Sayyid Mousa Shubairi Zanjani's (r) statement following the martyrdom of Imam Ali Khamenei and the appointment of Imam Mujtaba Khamenei:

“I never imagined that I would live to witness the very oppressed yet powerful martyrdom of my lifelong companion, Sayyid Ali, my beloved friend of nearly eighty years, who, like Amir al-Mu’minin Imam Ali (A) and Imam Husayn ibn Ali (A), attained the greatest honor of martyrdom during the blessed month of Ramadan alongside his daughter and children at the hands of the most wretched of enemies, the criminal Zionists. This is a martyrdom almost unparalleled among the scholars of Islam, and this unbearable sorrow will find no healing except through the complete destruction of Israel and the return of that wise Sayyid under the light of the reappearance of His Eminence. While I was mourning in the sacred shrine of Imam Ali al-Rida (A), the news that the Assembly of Experts had appointed His Eminence Ayatollah Imam Sayyid Mujtaba Hosseini Khamenei as Leader brought me a measure of solace and comfort.”

🇮🇷 | Breaking: IRGC says another U.S. MQ-1 drone shot down over the Strait of Hormuz

Moments ago, another MQ-1 drone belonging to the U.S. military was reportedly intercepted and destroyed over the Strait of Hormuz by the IRGC’s newly deployed advanced aerospace defense system operating under Iran’s integrated air defense network.

According to Iranian sources, the MQ-1, widely known as the “Butcher of Kandahar” for its extensive operational history in Afghanistan, accumulated more than 20,000 flight hours before being retired from U.S. Navy and Air Force combat service several years ago and replaced by the MQ-9 Reaper.

The statement further said that, following the reported destruction of a significant number of MQ-9 drones, the United States has been forced to return the MQ-1 to operational use. Iranian sources added that both drone types are now being extensively targeted by the IRGC’s new air defense system.

🇮🇷 | IRGC: If a new attack occurs, there will be major changes in our defense and retaliation:

“If a new attack takes place, there will certainly be major changes in both our defense and our retaliatory operations.”

The IRGC said these changes would include a shift in the geography of the war, as well as changes in the weapons and military equipment used.

“We will introduce new weapons with new capabilities into the battlefield, and the world will be surprised.”

The IRGC also said its targets are no longer necessarily the same as before.

“We now have new targets that have not yet been struck.”

🇮🇷 | IRGC spokesperson:

Our relationship with neighboring countries is one of good neighborliness. We share the same faith, we have lived as neighbors for many years, we have had commercial relations, and we continue to respect our neighbors.

However, we separate the United States, the israeli entity, and any other enemy that comes into this region from our dealings with our neighbors. We do not attack our neighbors.

Of course, we do have a complaint against neighboring countries: Why do you place your bases at the disposal of a country that is two thousand kilometers away and comes here to secure its own interests?

Are we not capable of ensuring our own security and making decisions regarding our own interests?

But we believe that our neighbors themselves have come to realize that these bases are of no benefit to them. They do not provide security; rather, they create insecurity.

🇮🇷🏴| Condolences from the Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC on the passing of Ayatollah al-Uzma Shubairi Zanjani (r):

General Vahidi:

The painful passing of the esteemed Marja of the Shi’a world, the jurist of the Ahl al-Bayt of Purity and Infallibility, Hazrat Ayatollah al-Uzma Haj Sayyid Musa Shubairi Zanjani (may his sacred soul rest in peace), has deeply saddened and grieved me, as well as all the commanders, officials, and members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

That Godly scholar and devoted jurist spent his blessed life promoting the luminous teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and engaging in sincere efforts to elevate Ja’fari jurisprudence. The scholarly and blessed presence of the late scholar in the Qom Seminary, particularly his leading of congregational prayers at Feyziyeh School and the holy shrine of Hazrat Fatima Masuma (peace be upon her), was a legacy of his revered father and a source of companionship and affection for students and scholars of the seminary.

I extend my condolences on this profound loss to the sacred presence of Hazrat Baqiyyatullah al-A’zam (may Allah hasten his reappearance), the esteemed Leader and Authority of Wilayah, Hazrat Ayatollah Imam Sayyid Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei (may his noble shadow endure), the Grand Marja, the seminaries, his honored family, and all those devoted to the late scholar.

May Almighty God join the pure soul of this distinguished scholar with his purified forefathers, and grant his honored family patience and abundant reward, together with steadfastness, tranquility of heart, and firmness of step under the banner of Wilayah.

🏴 | Occupied Syria once again on the brink of massive domino falls

Occupied Syria is once again standing on the edge of another dangerous collapse. The past several months have been consumed by the removal and elimination of top HTS and affiliated figures through mysterious accidents, alleged heart attacks, and other unexplained incidents. Alongside this came HTS led sectarian massacres, soaring prices, widespread corruption, the disappearance of public funds and subsidies, and growing public anger that erupted into repeated protests. At the same time, the Israeli occupation continued regular artillery shelling, targeted assassinations, abductions, and restrictions across occupied Syrian territory, pushing the occupied country deeper into instability.

Last night marked another major escalation. Powerful explosions struck ammunition depots belonging to the HTS occupation regime in Al-Eis, west of Aleppo. The blasts were so intense that the Aleppo-Damascus highway was cut off, explosions were heard nearly 70 kilometers away, and rockets and shells landed across surrounding villages and towns. Reports indicate that unidentified airstrikes targeted a former Syrian Arab Army air defense missile warehouse. Among the debris was the booster section of a 57E6 missile, a component used exclusively by the Syrian Arab Army’s Pantsir air defense system. This was not an isolated incident. Since the beginning of the year, warehouses and military depots have exploded one after another in Homs, Al-Fu’ah, the Military Academy, Aleppo’s Neyrab Airport, Zardana, Baniyas, Nawa, Rif Dimashq, Ramousa, Adra Industrial Zone, Sermada, Ayash in Deir ez-Zor, and now Al-Eis. The pattern has become impossible to ignore, with former Syrian military infrastructure repeatedly being destroyed before any meaningful reconstruction can take place.

At the same time, Israeli occupation forces shelled the outskirts of Jumla and Abedin in western Daraa countryside, while another explosion in Al-Harra targeted a vehicle belonging to a security official in the Ministry of Interior. Parallel to these attacks, ISIS-2.0 operations have reappeared across Syria on a regular basis, including bombings and attacks on security targets. Even as these developments unfolded, a suicide bomber detonated himself in Manbij, adding yet another layer to Syria’s collapsing security environment.

It has become increasingly clear that the Israeli occupation is systematically preventing any reinstallation or rebuilding of military/any crucial infrastructure inside occupied Syria. Every attempt to restore strategic capabilities is met with another strike. What is equally evident is the disastrous role played by Turkey and Qatar, whose intervention is portrayed here as a project driven by geopolitical ambition rather than the interests of the Syrian people. They believed removing Assad would allow them to dominate Syria politically, economically, and militarily, but that project has instead pushed the country further into fragmentation, occupation, and endless conflict.

Turkey and Qatar imagined they would harvest strategic benefits from Syria, yet they now find themselves trapped in the very chaos they helped create. Their collaborators expected influence over Damascus, but Tel Aviv has repeatedly demonstrated that it does not tolerate any competing power consolidating itself inside Syria, even among those who believed they were serving the same broader agenda. As the belt of war expands, Turkey has begun reinforcing its own border and pushing deeper into Syrian territory out of fear that the instability it helped fuel will eventually reach its doorstep.

The old illusion that regimes aligned with America and Israel would be rewarded with stability has collapsed. The emerging model is far harsher: occupied Syria is not meant to recover, rebuild, or regain independent military strength. Any force, whether presented as an ally, proxy, or collaborator, is ultimately expendable once it has served its purpose. No regime is granted full sovereignty, only temporary utility under israeli-American model.

While you are reading this, reports continue to emerge of new explosions in Manbij and other parts of Aleppo province. The message is becoming increasingly clear: the coming days are likely to be even more dangerous for anyone attempting to keep occupying or reshaping Syria through force. Turkey, Qatar, and every external actor that participated in dismantling a nation and an ancient civilization should be held accountable for the consequences of their policies.

History continues to repeat one lesson: alliances built around American and Israeli strategic interests are often temporary, while the consequences for the countries drawn into those projects can become permanent.

— ? | With Araghchi traveling to Doha in transit during his flight to the United States for a visit to the UN convention, and the return of CIA mouthpiece Mohsin Naqvi, the Pakistani minister, to Tehran for talks, the repeated terms, conditions, and slogans of negotiations have once again resurfaced within the inner circle. At the same time, the American Treasury’s announcement that all Iranian passenger aircraft operating since September 23 will cease their operations adds another layer to the developing situation. Once again, the game of gambling appears to be starting, with talks and threats of bombing moving in parallel, each remaining silent while the other side speaks. At present, it cannot be said with certainty which side benefits more from this process. However, the continued emphasis on pressure against the enemy and the principle of siege for siege appears to favor Iran, particularly as it undermines Trump’s policy. At the same time, one cannot simply endorse negotiations if they amount to concessions. It remains extremely difficult to judge what is actually taking place behind the scenes. The threat of war remains real, and the situation could change or resume in any direction at any moment.
