🇺🇸🫵 Don’t be surprised if, before long, you hear that Americans are being forced to tattoo President Trump’s name, image, signature, or anything else onto their bodies—anything except memories of Epstein Island!

🚨 Yesterday evening, a storm swept through Tehran—so fierce that several trees were broken. But people did not let the flag fall.

🚨 This flag was raised in central Tehran, at the intersection of Enghelab and Valiasr streets, during the recent war. Citizens stand by it 24/7, signing up and waiting for days just to spend a few moments beside it when their turn comes.

Audio Message by Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf Addressed to the Iranian People

Parliament spokesperson outlines six defeats of the enemy

🔹 In an audio message addressed to the Iranian people, Ghalibaf spoke about the country’s most pressing issues, particularly what he described as a new plan by the enemy aimed at forcing the Iranian nation into submission.

Key points from the message:

🔹 From the very beginning, the enemy sought to bring the system down within three days by assassinating the Leader of the Revolution and military commanders, but failed.

🔹 They then attempted to dismantle the country’s offensive capabilities, yet over time saw that the launch of missiles and drones continued unabated.

🔹 Next, they moved toward a “Venezuela-style” scenario for Iran, but failed again. They then tried to activate separatist groups in the western regions of the country, which was thwarted thanks to the efforts of military and intelligence forces.

🔹 After months of planning and targeting the country’s security bases during the war, they designed a coup attempt for the Chaharshanbe Suri festivities. However, the Iranian people responded in unity and dealt them a major blow.

🔹 The enemy also sought to deploy forces inside the country and tested this plan in Isfahan, but it ended in what was described as a “second Tabas fiasco.”

🔹 Each of these plans could have brought down a country, but the Iranian nation, with divine support, managed to defeat every single one of them.

🔹 These failures, he said, were rooted in a strong socio-political foundation—namely, the unified and active presence of the people. However, the enemy has now entered a new phase, seeking to impose pressure through naval blockades, media campaigns, economic strain, and internal division in order to weaken or even collapse the country from within.

🔹 Donald Trump, he added, has openly attempted to divide the country into “hardliners” and “moderates,” while simultaneously speaking of a naval blockade to force Iran into submission through economic pressure and internal discord.

🔹 The only way to counter this new plot, he stressed, is to preserve unity. From the very beginning until today, unity has been the antidote to all enemy conspiracies, and given the new circumstances, it is now more important than ever. Any divisive action plays directly into the enemy’s strategy.

🔹 Speaking as someone “on the ground,” he told the Iranian people not to worry, adding that officials fully follow the directives of the country’s Leader, whom he described as the guardian authority and representative of the awaited Imam, and that their well-being lies in adhering to his guidance.

🔹 He assured the public that there is full coordination between military and political officials, with unity centered on the Leader’s directives.

🔹 Based on his understanding of the Iranian people, he concluded, the nation—by God’s grace—will also defeat this new deceptive plan and ultimately achieve a decisive victory in this conflict.

🤫 Note: If Donald Trump has any sensible advisers, they should tell him to ban Pete from speaking.

🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Another epic failure?

🚨 Axios, citing three informed sources, claims that U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) has prepared a plan for a series of “short and powerful” strikes against Iran in order to break the “stalemate in negotiations.”

🔥 Note: Such an operation would face an unexpected response from Iran and would almost certainly make the diplomatic deadlock even worse. Another epic failure!

‼️ Tehran Times Exclusive:

Trump wants to get out of the Iran quagmire, but seems can't do it: American journalist: US journalist

In an exclusive interview with Tehran Times, Veteran American journalist Joe Lauria says Trump has realized he made a disastrous blunder by allowing himself to be dragged into a war with Iran at Israel’s behest. “He wants to get out of the trap he allowed himself to get into, but he can't seem to do it,” Lauria told the Tehran Times. He added that previous US presidents avoided direct war with Iran, knowing it would lead to “disaster.” Lauria also suggested Israel may hold compromising evidence on Trump, boxing him in. Despite a naval blockade, Trump remains stuck in a quagmire of his own making.
