We are on day 5 of a massive US and Israeli bombing campaign against Iran. The Supreme Leader has been assassinated, civilian casualties are mounting, and the region is on the brink. @IRIMFA_SPOX Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Bagayi speaks to @JeremyScahill
Despite the assassination of Ayatollah Khamenei and his family, Iran is moving to select a new leader. A senior official confirms the Assembly of Experts is meeting to find a successor, even after their headquarters in Qom was targeted by "sinister" strikes.
The human cost is devastating. Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Bagayi, reports that a school in Minab was hit, killing 181 children. He calls the campaign a "genocide" targeting the future generation of the country, not just military assets.
Why is this happening? The US claims an "imminent threat," but Bagayi points out that Iran is 6,500 miles from US shores. He argues that even the Pentagon admitted there was no evidence Iran intended to attack the US before the bombing began.
Diplomacy was reportedly "betrayed." Bagayi reveals that Iran was in active negotiations in Geneva and Muscat. They had reached significant progress on a deal, only for the US and Israel to launch attacks just days before the next round of technical talks.
The messaging from Washington is a mess. While Marco Rubio says the US is acting on behalf of Israel, Trump claims the strikes are due to failing negotiations. Bagayi calls this "twisted logic" used to justify unprovoked aggression with US tax money.
Is Iran looking for a way out? Despite Trump’s claims of back-channel requests, Bagayi is clear: no talks are happening. He asks, "Do you think any Iranian with common sense would reach out under these circumstances?" They are 100% focused on defense.
This conflict is escalating fast, fueled by contradictory narratives and massive civilian loss.

Today, the IHC removed #JusticeTariqMehmood Jahangiri, citing an "invalid" law degree. But to call this an administrative decision is to ignore the elephant in the room. This is the culmination of a systematic campaign that began the moment he refused to stay silent.
Assaults on dissidents may often be dismissed by perpetrators' home countries as "local disputes" or "random robberies."
Premeditation = proof this is not just a guy who was mugged or attacked. It shows there is a broader conspiracy to silence British nationals. #ImranKhan
This changes to a targeted political attack or "transnational repression," which brings in specialized units like Counter Terrorism Command (SO15) or domestic intelligence.
Providing links to online accounts inciting violence before the attack, prove premeditation.
Action Items @ShazadAkbar:
- Random assault handled by a local constable. If 100+ ppl report specific online threats or "trophy videos" related to the same victim, the threat assessment changes.
