If you @POTUS don’t have the balls to do it yourself, then get out of the way and let someone (@netanyahu ) who does.

The rightful King of Iran's direct message to the nation.

[The Iran Chronicles @iranchronicles]

Yeah insane if true. I doubt it.

After reading Netanyahu’s comments, I see virtually no chance this deal happens if those are the terms.

⚪️ Eliminate Iran’s enriched uranium stockpile
⚪️ End Iran’s uranium enrichment capabilities
⚪️ Dismantle Iran’s missile program
⚪️ End support for regional proxy groups

The Islamic Republic would rather sacrifice Iran than give up those pillars of its power.

Those aren’t concessions to the regime. They are the very things it has spent decades building, funding, and fighting to preserve.

🚨 Fars News is pushing back on claims that a U.S.-Iran deal is done.

According to state-linked media, Iran has not given final approval to any agreement. The report claims the U.S. introduced new demands after a draft was nearly finalized, Iran rejected them, and Washington later returned to the original text.

That narrative contrasts with President Trump's recent comments that a final agreement could be reached within days and even signed in Europe this weekend.

Bottom line: No final agreement. No Iranian sign-off. Negotiations remain unresolved.

inb4 the Islamic Republic denies this.

“My message to the Iranian people is that they are afraid because they have no guns, while the other side does. They gather to protest and get shot.”

President Trump expressed sympathy for the Iranian people, arguing that ordinary citizens are forced to confront a heavily armed state with little means to defend themselves.

Trump said the Iranian people live under constant fear of repression, pointing to past protests where demonstrators faced lethal force from security forces. He suggested that the imbalance between unarmed civilians and armed state institutions remains one of the greatest obstacles to meaningful change in Iran.

Imagine if during World War II FIFA banned the flag of Germany but allowed the flag of Nazi Germany: the Swastika.

That's exactly what's happening TODAY with FIFA banning Iran's Lion and Sun flag.

🚨 Is Trita Parsi about to be deported?

The lead lobbyist for the Islamic Republic in the United States, Trita Parsi, is reportedly facing scrutiny from the U.S. State Department, according to a report by The Free Press.

Parsi, founder of NIAC and executive vice president of the Quincy Institute, has long faced accusations from critics of acting as an advocate for the Islamic Republic’s interests in Washington. Notably, Iranian state media itself has at times described Parsi as a lobbyist working on behalf of the regime’s interests abroad.

According to The Free Press, the State Department has opened an investigation into Parsi and is reportedly considering actions that could include revoking his green card and pursuing deportation proceedings.

The report further claims that those close to Parsi view the investigation as a serious threat. It states that the Quincy Institute has discussed funding legal preparations and is reportedly seeking immigration counsel, including preparations for a potential emergency habeas petition should Parsi be detained by immigration authorities.

The Free Press also reports that some within the Quincy Institute believe the scrutiny may be linked, at least in part, to pressure from conservative activist Laura Loomer, who has publicly campaigned against individuals she believes are not aligned with President Trump.

If confirmed, the investigation would mark a significant development surrounding one of the most controversial figures in the debate over Iran policy in the United States.

🚨 Brigadier General Gholamali Tahmasbi, commander of the Kerman Army Aviation Base and a veteran Cobra helicopter pilot, was reportedly killed in the strike on the base.

🚨 An IRGC base in Hesarak, Karaj was reportedly targeted in a missile strike.

🚨 The Israeli Air Force has joined its American counterparts in tonight's operations against targets in Iran.

[The Iran Watcher 🇮🇷 @TheIranWatcher]

🚨 U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the United States is preparing a major new round of strikes against Iran, warning that CENTCOM will be "very busy tonight" as military operations intensify.

Hegseth said Iran still has an opportunity to reach a deal, but claimed Tehran has so far been unwilling to do so.

He indicated that key facilities inside Iran could be targeted, describing the planned strikes as an effort to increase pressure and "set the terms" for a potential agreement rather than restart a broader war.

🚨 Iran’s national team is being propagandistically leveraged to advance a Shia apocalyptic ideology.

The Islamic Republic regime will seek to use the 2026 World Cup as a global stage to legitimize its violent militancy, amplify its ideology, and project itself as the sole representative of the Iranian nation.

In reality, it will be an attempt to wrap a deeply unpopular and repressive regime in the Iranian tricolor flag while using the world’s biggest sporting event to sanitize its record of violence, repression, and regional aggression.

[The Iran Watcher 🇮🇷 @TheIranWatcher]

🚨 Explosions are being reported in Tehran’s Khayyam Square.

At the same time, several Israeli-affiliated channels are claiming that a new wave of strikes against Islamic Republic targets inside Iran is now underway.

🚨 Reports from across Iran suggest a significant increase in aerial activity tonight, with residents describing the presence of drones, fighter jets, and active air defense systems in multiple provinces.

According to eyewitness accounts:

• Manjil: Residents report a drone visible overhead while air defense units appear unable to intercept it.
• Lorestan (Kuhdasht): Multiple fighter jets were reportedly heard flying at high altitude, with residents describing extremely loud aircraft noise.
• Amol: Reports of fighter jet activity overhead.
• Langarud: Residents say fighter jets were heard approaching from the Caspian Sea direction, an unusual occurrence for the area.
• Tehran and Manjil: Air defense systems are reportedly engaging targets and firing heavily.
• Kermanshah: Multiple drones have reportedly been observed in the sky.
• Parchin: Residents report several drones operating over the area, apparently monitoring air defense positions. Witnesses claim multiple drones were flying at low altitude simultaneously.
• Arak: Reports describe small moving lights crossing the sky in sequence, possibly drones or other aerial objects.

Taken together, the reports suggest widespread reconnaissance and surveillance activity across several regions of Iran, with particular attention appearing to focus on military and strategic areas. Air defense units in multiple locations are reportedly active as authorities attempt to track and respond to the aerial activity.

As with all wartime reports, individual eyewitness accounts remain unverified and should be treated with caution until independently confirmed.

🚨 A U.S. aircraft struck the engine room of the Palau-flagged tanker M/T Settebello in the Gulf of Oman late Monday after the vessel allegedly ignored repeated American warnings and orders.

The tanker is the second vessel disabled by CENTCOM in the past two days while attempting to transport Iranian oil in defiance of the U.S.-led blockade.

🚨 President Trump says the United States will resume bombing Iran “very hard” today.

“We are going to be attacking them very hard. We will be resuming the bombing. We have the right to do that. They shot down our helicopter.”

[The Iran Watcher 🇮🇷 @TheIranWatcher]

🚨 “Every time Trump speaks, Iran delivers him a hard slap in the face. The United States is no longer a superpower.”

Those are the words of Abolfazl Shekarchi, a military spokesman for the Islamic Republic, speaking on state media today.

Just hours after U.S. strikes, a senior regime official is openly mocking the President of the United States, dismissing American power, and portraying the United States as weak and ineffective.

Is this the behavior of a regime that fears American deterrence?

Is this the language of a government interested in serious negotiations?

The Islamic Republic increasingly appears convinced that it can absorb limited U.S. responses, continue escalating, and emerge stronger.

Statements like these suggest the regime no longer views American threats as credible and believes it can challenge the United States with little fear of significant consequences.
