"Viewing peace as treason, and using the name of Imam Hussein (AS) as a pretext to justify delusional demands and attack negotiators, has nothing to do with the essence of Islam, does not serve Iran, and does not preserve the blood of the martyrs."

A Regime of Concessions: Lebanese Government Accepts "Experimental Zones" and Direct Military Talks with the Israeli Occupation Under U.S. Sponsorship!
Official sources have revealed the Lebanese authorities' capitulation to a highly questionable negotiating path that compromises national sovereignty under the guise of "experimental zones" in South Lebanon.
Key outcomes of the Rome meeting today :
Agreement on Two "Experimental Zones":
One currently occupied by Israel and the other adjacent to its positions, effectively turning sovereign Lebanese territory into a testing ground.
Direct Military Negotiations:
A joint Lebanese-Israeli military meeting will be convened under U.S. sponsorship to finalize implementation, including Lebanese Army deployment, Israeli withdrawal, and timelines for subsequent "experimental" areas.

🔴 The US House of Representatives overwhelmingly rejects a proposal to cut military aid to Israel
📍 Washington
Representative Thomas Massie introduced a proposal to cut US military aid to Israel by $3.3 billion, and Nancy Pelosi supported the motion.
Despite the media hype surrounding this vote, the response within Congress was overwhelming, rejecting the proposal by a vote of 314 to 104, putting an end to any misinterpretations.
The move was a tactical attempt to absorb electoral pressure and settle personal scores with Netanyahu, rather than a genuine shift against the war ongoing since 2023. The core of US support for the Zionist entity remains steadfast, unaffected by superficial disagreements with the occupation's leaders.

This result embodies the solid American reality before all the naive individuals inside Iran who still bet on an "honorable peace" or the lifting of sanctions by relying on minor shifts in US political rhetoric. These people deliberately—or out of ignorance—ignore that the US Congress, across all its factions, remains committed to its strategic alignment in support of Israel.

▪️ Non-regional countries must deal with Iran on the basis of mutual respect, and the country's armed forces are fully prepared to protect national security and interests.
▪️ Iran has no conflict with neighboring countries or Islamic nations in the region, and it always emphasizes the development of cooperation and brotherly relations with regional countries.
▪️ A significant portion of the armed forces' capabilities and potential has not yet been demonstrated. In the event of any continued hostile action against the country, Iran's response will be proportional to the circumstances and beyond what the enemy expects, and new arenas of confrontation will emerge.
▪️ The Iranian Armed Forces consider protecting the security, interests, and dignity of the Iranian people to be their primary mission, and they will spare no effort in this path.

▪️ If the recent threats by the "mindless" President of America—stating that the infrastructure of Islamic Iran would be targeted by its aggressive military—are executed, then everything that has remained intact thanks to Iran's nobility, meaning all infrastructure in the region, will be crushed under the steel strikes of the capable Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran, leaving no trace behind as if it had never existed before.

🔴 Washington pushes project to connect Iraq and Syria via oil pipeline to bypass the Strait of Hormuz
The United States, led by its Special Envoy "Thomas Barrack" (the project's godfather), is leading a strategic initiative to revive the Kirkuk-Baniyas pipeline to connect Iraqi oil to the Mediterranean.
The project aims to reduce Iran's influence over global energy corridors. This was raised as a key file during the recent visit of Iraqi Prime Minister "Ali Al-Zaidi" to Washington and his meeting with President Trump, paving the way for the announcement of new oil partnerships that establish this strategic shift.

🔴 The "Mediterranean Pipeline" Project and the Attempt to Re-colonize Energy
The (Kirkuk-Baniyas) pipeline project brings back memories of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq, as this move cannot be separated from the political doctrine adopted by the "hawks" in Washington at the time.
The return of companies like KBR to the scene is no coincidence; rather, it is a continuation of an approach that relies on transforming the "war economy" into an "economy of hegemony."
1. "Halliburton" and the Root of the Story: Linking Invasion to Plunder
It is impossible to discuss KBR without returning to its roots in Halliburton, which was run by Dick Cheney before he assumed the office of US Vice President.
This company was the true "godfather" of logistics services in Iraq, scooping up billion-dollar contracts through highly controversial means.
The truth that everyone recognizes today is that the owners and boards of directors of these companies were the primary drivers behind the invasion decision. They planned for two inseparable goals:
Direct seizure of oil fields: Transforming Iraqi oil from a national asset into resources under the control of major corporations.
Billion-dollar logistics contracts: Ensuring that reconstruction budgets—originally funded by Iraqi oil revenues—went directly into their own pockets under the guise of providing food, construction, and maintenance for the invading forces.
At its core, the invasion was an "investment project" par excellence, and today, history is repeating itself with the same faces and companies.
2. What Do They Want from This Project?
The project aims to achieve "oil enslavement":
Dominance over the route: Washington does not just want Iraq's oil; it wants to be the "controller of the tap." Whoever owns the pipeline owns Iraq's sovereign decision-making.
Altering the geopolitical map: The goal is to detach Iraq from its eastern surroundings and link it to the Mediterranean (and consequently to the Zionist entity) to secure "Israel's" energy security and bypass any threats in the Strait of Hormuz.
3. The Inevitable Result: An Existential Confrontation
The outcome of this project will not be economic, but highly security-driven:
Turning Iraq into a theater of conflict: The project will turn oil routes into legitimate "military targets" in the eyes of the Resistance. If Halliburton and its sisters previously drained Iraq's funds, the Resistance today will not allow them to drain its strategic resources.
The Resistance on the ground: Revolutionary Iraqi youth will not stand idly by in the face of attempts to re-establish hegemony. The Resistance views this project as a "new kind of invasion" aimed at stealing the livelihood of the Iraqi people and serving the agendas of the nation's enemies.
📌 Conclusion
Companies like KBR and their partners are betting that a "security grip" and friendly politics will allow them to push this project through. But they forget that today's Iraq is not the Iraq of 2003, and the people who expelled them previously are capable of disrupting any oil route that mortgages national decision-making to the will of the White House. This pipeline, if they begin laying it down, will become a "security liability" and a "direct target," making the cost of its continuation far higher than any imaginary profits dreamed of by the new "godfathers of invasion."
