    “Saudi Arabia has captured two Mossad agents, and Qatar has also captured some; they are now in custody. They wanted to carry out an attack in the country so that Saudi Arabia and Qatar would join the aggression against Iran.”

    Saudi political analyst Ahmed Al-Ibrahim asserts that several Mossad agents were captured in Saudi Arabia and Qatar while attempting to carry out an attack against the civilian population.

    “Israel” is waging a dirty war and attacking countries while impersonating Iran. Today, it attacked Azerbaijan’s airport with repurposed Iranian drones to provoke a world war.

      UK Ministry of Defence has yet to confirm who exactly attacked RAF Akrotiri, as far as I’m aware. They’ve simply stated it was not from Iran.

      With friends like these, ey?

        The talk in Cyprus and Greece is that the drones were not launched from Iran. Media are stating that the original drones launched from Lebanon (blaming Hezbollah). This is a baseless claim, as not even the governments have confirmed it.

        In fact yesterday there was a big scuffle on Greek TV when a prominent talk host stated that the drones launched from Lebanon, which was loudly disputed by a guest analyst. They got into a fight over who is spreading misinformation (here is the video, but it is in Greek: https://youtu.be/3lmKpLug5Lg)

    🇮🇷| Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya (Armed Forces) Spox:

    The Islamic Republic of Iran respects the interests and national sovereignty of neighboring countries and, up to now, has committed no aggression against them.

    Anywhere that serves as the source of aggression against Iran is a legitimate target, and in the face of the United States and the Zionist regime, there will be absolutely no retreat.

    Countries that have not provided airspace or facilities to the United States and the Zionist regime have not been our target up to this moment, and will not be our target going forward either (Azerbaijan, Oman & Turkey).

    However, all bases that serve as the point of origin for aggression against dear Iran will, as before, be struck heavily on land, at sea, and in the air (Persian Gulf countries).

    We say this explicitly: we strike them and destroy them so that it may serve as a lesson to anyone who dares aggress against our nation.

    And know this: From now on, anything built again in the name of the enemy, similar to these bases, facilities, and equipment, will be destroyed again and again with crushing blows.

    The Islamic Republic of Iran strongly welcomes the escorting of oil tankers and the claim of an American military presence for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and we are definitely waiting for them…

    We recommend that before making any decision, the Americans remember the burning of the supertanker Bridgeton in 1987, and the tankers that were recently targeted.

    In this battle, after making a vertical entry into the region, there is no guarantee that your exit will also be vertical.

    The same applies to your ships, with this difference: you may intend to enter afloat, but it is far from impossible that you will go down vertically to the bottom of the Persian Gulf…

    (Speaks english) A reminder to the corrupted Island-man: The ground and the map of the war are in our hands. This will continue…

    🇮🇷🇷🇺❌🇺🇸— According to U.S. officials told Washington Post that Russia is giving Iran intelligence on the locations of American warships and aircraft in the Middle East, helping Tehran target U.S. forces.

    The information reportedly includes positions of ships, aircraft, and radar systems.

    Officials say the support suggests Russia is indirectly involved in the conflict, although Moscow has not commented and is not directly fighting.

      What goes around comes around. The US does it to Russia all the time, why would Russia not respond in kind? Russia has been warning for years that there would be a response to Western participation in the aggression against Russia, even if the response did not come right away and would be assymetrical.

    🇮🇷| IRGC Spox:

    Iran strongly welcomes US’ willingness to escort oil tankers and the claim of the presence of US forces for passage through the Strait of Hormuz, and in fact, the IRGC is waiting for their presence.

    IRGC says it recommends that before making any decision, the Americans should remember the burning of the American supertanker Bridgeton in 1987 and the oil tankers that were recently targeted.

        It never was. Since antiquity it had various Semitic people with Akkadian and Aramaic influences surviving in the spoken dialect of the Shia majority, the Sunni minority speak a different Arabic dialect. Before Islam it was predominately Christian.

        That said, the current Sunni monarchy conquered Bahrain in the 18th century. The majority are Shia Arab who are very sympathetic to Iran and don’t like hosting US troops. The last indigenous Shia rulers of Bahrain ruled on behalf of Iran.

    🇺🇸⚔🇮🇷 Trump: “Based on what I’ve seen, it was done by Iran.”

    This is how Trump yesterday commented on the strike on the school in Minab.

    Pictured is the Tomahawk missile that hit the school.

    And everyone is silent.
