Iranian drones struck Sheikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain, targeting aircraft shelters, fuel depots, and strategic bridges within the base, which serves as a major operational hub for U.S. air and naval forces in the region.

The Regional War: Existential Battles and a Shifting Global Order
✍🏻Dr. Mohamed Hassan Sweidan
To understand today's regional conflict, it must be viewed through two interconnected tracks:
1. The Existential Track (Post-Oct 7): Israel, Hezbollah, Iran, US influence, and the Palestinian cause all view this confrontation as a battle for survival.
2. The Global Order Track: The conflict coincides with the reshaping of global power balances. The outcomes will define each player's position in the new international system.
Despite a signed ceasefire agreement between Washington and Tehran, implementation is stalled. The US is escalating to pressure Iran into renegotiating its nuclear file and fuel internal divisions.
Conversely, Iran is raising the cost of escalation to show it will not back down, even if it means full-scale military confrontation.

Everything occurring—including the events in South Lebanon—is part of a broader regional war with existential stakes. No side can afford to retreat, as the results will shape the future global and regional order.

Kuwait Burns as Washington’s Proxy
Iranian missiles and drones struck two critical sites in Kuwait: the Saad Al‑Abdullah Academy for Security Sciences and the KNPC North Pier oil export facility. Flames engulfed the pier, with smoke visible even from satellites — a stark reminder that U.S. bases in Kuwait have turned the country into a launchpad for aggression against Iran.
Kuwait’s rulers bear responsibility: by hosting American forces and allowing their soil to be used against Tehran, they have invited retaliation and placed their own infrastructure in the line of fire. This is not “collateral damage” — it is the direct consequence of surrendering sovereignty to Washington’s war machine.

🚨🌍 Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei:
🔺 The violation of the Memorandum of Understanding has once again proven that the signature of the President of the United States carries neither value nor credibility. The Iranian people have unforgettable lessons in store for the American enemy.
🔺 Coinciding with this epic and the funeral procession of the Martyr of Iran, the repeated breach by the Great Satan of its commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the presidents of Iran and the United States has once again demonstrated to the world that the signature of the U.S. President is worthless and unreliable, and that domination, hegemonic ambitions, and brutality are inseparable elements of the American approach and doctrine.
🔺 Today, the “Great Satan” has once again revealed its true face without a mask. This dark episode of crimes and broken promises stands as yet another enduring proof of the United States’ falsehood, irrationality, untrustworthiness, and malice.
🔺 Now, as the American enemy seeks to ignite more wars at the cost of even greater losses and deeper humiliation, it should know that the noble Iranian people and the Axis of Resistance have unforgettable lessons prepared for it. The heroism of the Mujahideen of Islam and the courage of the brave sons of the southern region in recent days have already demonstrated examples of those lessons.

📝 Statement by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, on the Great Epic of the Funeral Procession for the Beloved Martyr of Iran and Imam of the Oppressed, and on Key National Issues
In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
O great Iranian nation, creator of miracles!
🔸 Peace, greetings, and gratitude to you. Through your unique and historic epic in the unprecedented nationwide farewell to the martyred Leader of Iran, you demonstrated a new level of commitment to the mission and steadfast will of the Iranian-Islamic identity—expressing gratitude, loyalty, insight, and profound love for the martyred Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Leader of the Islamic Revolution. The burning hearts, tearful eyes, and unwavering determination of the tens of millions who filled the streets across dozens of kilometers in Tehran, Qom, Mashhad, and cities and villages throughout the country earned the admiration of the friends of the Iranian nation and all free people of the world, while leaving the arrogant enemies of Iran bewildered, astonished, enraged, and fearful.
⏺️ At the same time, the repeated violation by the Great Satan of its commitments under the Memorandum of Understanding signed by the Presidents of Iran and the United States has once again demonstrated to all that the signature of the American President is worthless and devoid of credibility, and that arrogance, domination, and brutality are inseparable elements of the American approach and conduct. Today, the Great Satan has once again revealed its true face without a mask. This dark episode of criminality and broken promises stands as further irrefutable evidence of America’s falsehood, irrationality, unreliability, and malice. Now, as the American enemy seeks to ignite the flames of war—at the cost of greater losses and deeper humiliation—it should know that the noble Iranian people and the Axis of Resistance have unforgettable lessons in store. The courage of the Mujahideen of Islam and the valor of the brave people of the southern region in recent days have already provided examples of those lessons.
▪️ I must also say to you, the loyal and proud Iranian people, that among the most fundamental priorities at this stage is preserving unity of purpose and sacred national solidarity at every level—among the people and officials alike, and across all fields—in order to realize the lofty aspirations of the Islamic Revolution and safeguard the dignity and independence of beloved Iran, particularly in confronting the criminal and deceitful American enemy. As has been emphasized and warned repeatedly in the past, preserving unity and avoiding division, political discord, and the exaggeration of social differences is a duty incumbent upon everyone. Naturally, the role of devoted officials and sincere cadres who are committed to the Revolution, the Imam, and the martyred Leader in strengthening national cohesion and unity is of the greatest importance and sensitivity.
⏺️ Accordingly, by continuing to place its trust in the sincere officials serving in the three branches of government—whose efforts are dedicated to the welfare and prosperity of the people—the beloved nation will remain vigilant and actively engaged in safeguarding the interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Some individuals may sincerely criticize the performance of certain officials out of genuine concern and devotion. In my view, while such concern for the system is, like those who express it, a valuable asset and worthy in itself, these respected individuals—many of whom are among the most insightful members of society—must be cautious. First, they must ensure that such criticism does not result in injustice toward an innocent person, for that would deprive society of divine blessings and grace. Second, they must ensure that it does not create cracks in national unity and social cohesion. When these considerations are observed, criticism becomes a driving force for progress and improvement.

The enemy must never receive from us any sign of weakness—including this kind of weakness. If we adhere to these principles with complete care and precision, the enemy will have no path before it except defeat.
▪️ Once again, I extend my deepest gratitude and appreciation to every member of our beloved nation, who themselves mourn the martyred Father of the Nation and who, despite hardships, restrictions, and difficulties, created a historic epic during this great farewell to the martyred Leader of Iran. I also thank the Grand Maraji’ of Taqlid, the scholars, intellectuals, elites, and activists in the cultural, social, and political spheres. I likewise express my appreciation for the efforts and achievements of the country’s civilian and military institutions, as well as the presence of the officials and representatives of the proud Axis of Resistance and the representatives of the noble Islamic movements. We pray that all those who participated, stood in solidarity, and contributed in any way to this historic epic may be blessed with the special grace and prayers of our Master, the Imam al-Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance).
