—❗️🇮🇷 One of Iran's very influential Islamic scholars, Grand Ayatollah Noori Hamedani, issued a statement in support of the leadership:

– The criminal President of America, who has nothing in his black record except murder, plunder, and assassination, and who has consistently supported the crimes of the brutal Zionist regime, has dared to make a foolish comment regarding the position of authority and leadership of the Islamic Revolution, His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei (may Allah protect him).

– This great figure is the flag-bearer of the dignity of Islam and the cry for help for the oppressed of the Islamic Ummah in the present era.

– The enmity of the leaders of the West, despite this supposedly noble nature, is not due to power, but rather due to their extreme helplessness and fear of the spread of Islamic awakening and the influence of the resistance axis throughout the world.

– We declare that any attack on the great authority and leadership of the Islamic nation (Khamenei) will be considered an attack on the very foundation of Islam and the lives of all Muslims and will be met with a harsh and crushing response from the faithful Iranian nation and all free people of the world

– America and its oppressive rulers should know that these threats will not only not disrupt the will of our nation, but will also further strengthen the ranks of the Islamic nation.

– Everyone should know that the promise of God Almighty is unbreakable.

— ❗️NOTE: All of the commanders killed by Israel were killed this morning, most of them were killed at an underground bunker during an IRGC Aerospace Force meeting.

The others, like Mohammad Baqeri and Gholam-Ali Rashid, were killed during an attack on the General Staff Headquarters in Tehran.

IRGC Commander-in-Chief Hossein Salami was killed at his home, including most of the scientists, they were also killed at their homes.

The important part: Since morning, no new assassinations have taken place. Only these two locations were targeted.

— 🇺🇸 NEW: President Trump signs a ban on travel to the U.S. by nationals from 12 countries: Iran, Yemen, Libya, Sudan, Afghanistan, Burma, Chad, the Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, and Somalia

Additionally, there is a 'partial' ban for Venezuela, Cuba, Burundi, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, and Turkmenistan.

According to the White House, these countries lack proper screening and vetting capabilities.

The ban exempts existing visa holders, lawful permanent residents, specific visa categories, and individuals deemed to serve U.S. national interests.

Trump stated that the list could be revised if countries improve conditions and meet U.S. vetting standards, and that additional countries could be added if they pose a risk.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇵🇸 NEW: The American-Israeli backed 'Gaza Humanitarian Foundation' has announced that its aid distribution sites will not operate today for logistical reasons

Since the GHF began operating, Israeli soldiers have fired at civilians trying to receive aid daily, resulting in several deaths. In one instance, the IDF explicitly admitted to shooting civilians, claiming they 'posed a threat' by moving toward the soldiers.

Yesterday, The Boston Consulting Group, a U.S. management consulting firm that had helped establish GHF, withdrew from the project.

According to some reports in Israeli media, including Israel's Channel 12

According to reports, the Mossad launched kamikaze drones from secret base inside Iran, which were pre-deployed and remotely activated during the attack.

They probably took out radars and air defenses which enabled israel to launch missiles, something like Ukraine

— NOTE: I personally don't think anything will happen before the US-Iran negotiations in Oman on Sunday.

I also don't think it'll happen before the censure resolution against Iran passes at the IAEA Board of Governors meeting in Vienna.

Before Israel strikes, they want Trump to come out openly and say that negotiations failed, and the IAEA non-compliance resolution against Iran would only strengthen the Israeli position.

So, from a diplomacy standpoint, about 5-10 days from now would be my best bet.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇺🇸 Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araqchi, in a statement on X:

'There is a reason why only a few nations master the ability to fuel nuclear reactors.

Apart from significant financial resources and political vision, it requires a solid industrial base and a technological-academic complex that can produce necessary human resources and know-how.

Iran has paid dearly for these capabilities, and there is no scenario in which we will give up on the patriots who made our dream come true. To reiterate: No enrichment, no deal.
No nuclear wrapons, we have a deal.'

— 🇮🇷/🇺🇸 On the recent New York Times report on the latest U.S. nuclear proposal

There seems to be a lot of optimism on social media and in U.S. reporting about this latest proposal made by America towards Iran.

I can assure you, based on Iranian diplomatic sources, this proposal (which is mentioned by the NYT) does not sufficiently addresses Iran's demands.

Contrary to what is being reported in the media, this is not a 'revised' proposal — it is the same proposal that was presented by Oman's FM Al-Busaidi in Tehran last week, and Iran already called it 'delusional and one-sides' and has practically rejected it.

The proposal states that Iran will be allowed to temporarily enrich uranium on its soil, up to 3.67% purity necessary for civilian use, but that gradually Iran would fully dismantle its existing nuclear infrastructure and the enrichment for Iran's fuel for its nuclear powerplants would be supplied by a regional 'enrichment consortium' in the Gulf.

Iran is not against the creation of a regional uranium enrichment consortium, but will never agree to dismantle its existing nuclear infrastructure or accept temporary 'ceremonial' 3% enrichment — because that's all this U.S. proposal is.

According to the proposal, once Iran starts receiving 'benefits' from the deal (i.e. sanctions relief), it would have to fully give up its domestic enrichment, and receive fuel for its nuclear reactors only from the regional consortium, which will likely be US-supervised (even if located on Iran's Persian Gulf islands).
