**Latest wave of US strikes against Iran has ended**

Tampa, Florida — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) concluded the evening wave of strikes against Iran at 9:00 PM Eastern Time [4:30 AM Tehran] on July 15.

U.S. forces struck Iranian command centers, air defense positions, missile and drone capabilities, and coastal surveillance facilities to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten innocent mariners aboard commercial vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM used precision-guided munitions to strike positions at several locations, including Bandar Abbas.

Earlier this morning, U.S. forces targeted coastal defense positions and cruise missiles on Greater Tunb Island during a 90-minute wave of strikes.

The U.S. military, under the orders of the Commander in Chief, is holding Iran accountable.

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Wednesday, July 15, in a speech at the **U.S. Army War College** in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, that Iran "will be defeated soon."

Referring to recent U.S. strikes against Iran, he said that despite what he called a "military operation," oil markets had not experienced a sharp spike and, contrary to predictions, prices had not risen significantly.

Trump added that many had expected oil prices to rise to $350 per barrel, but the current price is around $79, and had even reached $68 just a few days ago.

The U.S. president also said the actions taken — which he described as a response to Iran's "non-compliance" — had been limited, and that if conditions calm down, oil prices could drop to around $55 or even lower.

CENTCOM post, machine translation:
U.S. Forces Disable a Non-Compliant Vessel in the [Persian] Gulf

Tampa, Florida — On July 15, U.S. forces disabled an unladen tanker that was attempting to move toward one of Iran's ports in the [Persian] Gulf, as part of the enforcement of naval blockade measures against Iran.

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) forces observed the Curaçao-flagged tanker M/T Belma moving through international waters toward Kharg Island. The commercial vessel ignored multiple warnings while attempting to breach the U.S. blockade. A U.S. aircraft disabled the ship by firing Hellfire missiles at its smokestack. The vessel is no longer heading toward Iran.

U.S. forces resumed the naval blockade of vessels traveling to or from Iranian ports and coastal areas at 4:00 PM Eastern Time on July 14. In the first 24 hours of blockade enforcement, CENTCOM redirected two compliant commercial vessels and disabled one non-compliant vessel.

U.S. forces remain vigilant and ready to ensure full compliance with the blockade.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Wednesday, in response to reporters' questions about whether a deadline had been set for Tehran before the start of American strikes on Iranian bridges, that he has no interest in setting a deadline.

Trump said: "I don't like to set deadlines, but they pretty much know; they know what's going on... They better fix their act."

This comes hours after the U.S. president had threatened the Iranian government that if it fails to reach a deal with Washington by next week, the country's power plants would be targeted.
He told Fox News' "Special Report" program that if Tehran does not accept a deal, next week he will expand strikes to Iran's power plants and bridges: "Next week they're going to be in really bad shape; because then it's the power plants; then it's the bridges."

The death sentence of Aref Khoshkar, one of those arrested during the nationwide protests of 2022, was carried out in the early hours of this Wednesday, July 15, at Qezelhesar Prison in Karaj.

An informed source close to the family of this political prisoner told HRANA: Aref Khoshkar's family was notified of the execution of his sentence at around 8 o'clock this morning.
The family was also informed to go to Behesht-e Zahra cemetery on Thursday morning, July 16, at around 9 a.m. to view and receive the body.

The informed source further added: Aref Khoshkar had been transferred to Ward 35 of Qezelhesar Prison on Saturday, July 11, and his family had their last visit with him on Sunday, July 12.
His family had been trying to stop the execution by requesting a one-month extension and holding a session to obtain the consent of the victim's family, but these efforts did not succeed.

Statement by Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, as quoted by government sources:

🔹 These days, as the flames of war have once again intensified, questions are being asked among the people and various groups, and everyone answers according to their own perspective. Are we seeking war? Will the war and its shadow ever end? Can we achieve our goals through negotiation? When we are dealing with an oath-breaking America, what is the point of negotiation at all? And ultimately, the important question is: how do we claim our rights and emerge victorious from this war?

🔹 If we look at this matter through the lens of national interests and national security, and away from factional perspectives, we can arrive at clear, candid, and precise answers. First, we must understand that we are engaged in an existential and fundamental war with America, whose goal — in addition to toppling the sacred system of the Islamic Republic of Iran as the main institution of the front of righteousness — is to fragment our beloved country of Iran. This strategy of the enemy has not changed.

🔹 Second, as I have repeatedly stated before, America seeks to strike Iran and advance its own interests whenever it can, and this is not limited to war, negotiation, or just the current U.S. president. Therefore, our approach — whether in war or negotiation — must be based on national interests and security, and must be realistic and long-term. We have no choice but to rely on our own strength and become stronger. Third, the unified resistance of the Iranian nation and our armed forces nullified the enemy's sinister plan in the 40-day war and forced them to request a ceasefire and enter negotiations — but it certainly has not changed their flawed strategy. America always has its arrogant nature and will never accept a strong Iran.

🔹 With these premises, the above questions must be answered. We have never welcomed war and never will, but we must always be prepared for battle and stand our ground to the last breath to preserve our national security and interests. Alongside this, we must also use the tools of diplomacy and negotiation to realize and consolidate national interests.

🔹 An agreement only has meaning when its clauses are valid and being implemented. Otherwise, if the Islamic Republic of Iran is not to benefit from its terms, then — based on the eye-for-an-eye policy I have previously articulated — we have no reason to adhere to such an agreement. And as we are witnessing these days, our armed forces, as always, have full freedom of action to confront enemy aggression.

🔹 Unlike in the 12-day war, we rightly closed the Strait of Hormuz during the 40-day war, because it had become a source of insecurity and a threat to our national security. Today as well, our national security lies in maintaining "Iranian arrangements" over the Strait of Hormuz and ensuring maximum safe and unhindered passage of commercial vessels through this waterway, so that it serves as a security asset for Iran.

🔹 Now, what process did we follow to realize this position? With the onset of the third imposed war in Esfand [February/March], our armed forces asserted their control over the strait. During the negotiations, we also stood firm and enshrined Iranian arrangements over the Strait of Hormuz in Article 5 of the agreement, making it a lever for enforcing the other four clauses of our demands from the agreement. Now that we have reached the implementation phase, America — whose hands are empty in legal and diplomatic terms — wants to use force to diminish the Iranian arrangements. But based on what we achieved in the agreement, we must stand firm so that the rights of the nation are realized. The enemy is applying pressure to compensate for its defeat, but Iran, relying on its own power, will not allow the enemy's will to be imposed upon it.

🔹 We must be able to coordinate between the two methods of military force and diplomacy, and we must not fear either war or negotiation. War and negotiation are two methods of protecting national interests. Negotiation at this juncture — as I have repeatedly declared — is not equivalent to compromise; rather, alongside war, it is part of the strategy of resistance and safeguarding national interests. This coordination and comprehensive use of diplomatic and defensive tools, for the preservation of beloved Iran, is not merely a duty but an unavoidable necessity. Separating the two and choosing only one as the sole solution is a strategic error. We are engaged in a complex war with the greatest material power in the world, and in this war we have achieved great honors. Therefore, our thinking and actions must be equally great, complex, and resilient.

🔹 This example can also be extended to Lebanon, the lifting of sanctions, the future of American bases in the region, and the vengeance and blood-seeking for the martyred Imam of the Revolution and the other martyrs of these two imposed wars.

🔹 The path to victory and the realization of the rights of the nation in this war and in these critical circumstances is to follow the Leader's guidelines and move according to a precise roadmap based on resistance, rationality, and the intelligent use of all defensive and diplomatic capacities — in order to impose our will upon the enemy and minimize the economic consequences of the war for the people.

🔹 The boundary between war and negotiation with the enemy is determined by national security and interests, and the discernment of which tool to use — commensurate with the demands of time and circumstances — rests with the Guardian Jurist and the Commander-in-Chief. It is the duty of all of us to strive for war, diplomacy, or both, in accordance with the obligation defined by the Deputy of the Imam of the Age (may God hasten his return).

🔹 On this basis, I call upon all the people of Iran — of every perspective and inclination — to maintain unity in following the orders of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, to remain present in the field, and to display this presence and unity to the enemies. We all know that a difficult path lies ahead. They have previously threatened us with aircraft carriers, airstrikes, ground attacks, and more — and they have seen the results. So one must not fear the enemy's threats.

🔹 Nor should attention be paid to news spread by certain individuals intended to make you regret the path taken, to despair about the future, or to distrust the servants of the nation. The enemy is coveting despair, fear, discord, and mutual distrust. Your support and trust in the soldiers of the defensive, diplomatic, and service arenas will most certainly strengthen their hand against the enemy. Rest assured that they have pledged their lives as a guarantee of your security and Iran's national interests, and with the measures of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution and the path that has been designed, you will — by God's grace — see the fruits of this trust and support.

🔹 That we speak today from a position of strength regarding the Strait of Hormuz is the result of that very field power that the people have created for us. And it is certain to us that we will also bring to fruition the vengeance for the blood of our martyred leader. The enemy must know that we will not fall short in any way in realizing our demands.

🔹 For my part, during the third imposed war, I was present both on the defensive front and in countering the enemy's designs in the media war. Afterward, fully aware of all the difficulties and attacks, I entered the trench of diplomacy, and I have never shirked my responsibilities.

🔹 My goal is the elevation of Iran — dearer to me than my own life — under the guidance of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution. I have devoted my life to fighting the enemy, and I have no fear of war with the enemy, nor of slander, threats, and attacks. My wish is to join my comrades and my martyred leader on this path.

🔹 Finally, to the people of the south of my country, who these days stand on the front lines: from the beginning of my youth I fought shoulder to shoulder with you, my dear brothers and sisters, rifle in hand. You are the dear soul of Iran. Our lives are a thousand times sacrificed for yours. In the most important years of my youth and my family's life, we were guests at your generous tables in the operational areas of the south and were bound to you by salt. I will never forget the warmth of your love and affection for your fellow countrymen and for Iran.

🔹 Know that we will keep our word even at the cost of our lives. We have pledged our very veins in defense of this country. By God's grace and mercy, know that the victory of beloved Iran is near, and your historic resistance will endure.

🔹 Dear people of Iran! Have faith that the suppressed anguish within you and this unparalleled unity of every single member of the Iranian nation on the ground will guarantee our victory. Not only do we not fear threats and war with the enemy, but under the guidance of the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, we will deliver a decisive response to this criminal enemy for all these crimes.

The family of Craig Forman, a British citizen imprisoned in Iran, announced on Wednesday, July 14, that he has been sentenced to an additional two years in prison at Evin Prison for giving interviews to foreign media.

Craig Forman and his wife, Lindsay Forman, were arrested in Iran while on an overland motorcycle journey from Europe to Australia. Last March, the couple was each sentenced to 10 years in prison by a Revolutionary Court on espionage charges — accusations they have consistently denied. Islamic Republic officials have not publicly released any evidence to substantiate these charges.

The human rights website HRANA had previously reported that the 53-year-old couple had gone on hunger strike in protest against the rejection of their acquittal request and the prevention of their release and return to the United Kingdom.

The price of each US dollar in Iran's free market surpassed 187,000 tomans, rising by 3,000 tomans compared to the previous day.

According to gold and currency information websites and channels, the price of one British pound has reached over 250,000 tomans and one UAE dirham has exceeded 50,000 tomans.

Accordingly, the price of a new-design Bahar Azadi gold coin has been valued at over 184 million tomans, an increase of four million tomans.

This surge has occurred simultaneously with a fresh escalation of the war and the return of the US naval blockade on Islamic Republic ports, intensifying concerns over a further drop in oil exports and the country's foreign currency revenues.

The sound of explosions in Shiraz was related to mining operations at the cement factory

🔹Sounds of explosions were heard today in several parts of Shiraz.

🔹According to reports received by Mehr's correspondent, these sounds were the result of controlled blasting operations in the mining area of Shiraz Cement Factory.

🔹Based on follow-up investigations, these explosions were carried out as part of mining activities and stone extraction in the Shiraz Cement Factory mine area, and were conducted with the necessary coordination and in compliance with safety requirements.

🔹The sound of the explosions had caused concern among some Shiraz residents; however, investigations by Mehr's correspondent indicate the sounds had no connection to any incident or security event, and were related to planned mining operations.

The judiciary of the Islamic Republic has announced the execution of Mohammad Amini Dehaqani, one of those arrested during the January 2025 protests. Judicial authorities charged him with setting fire to the governor's office and the central police station of Dehaqan county in Isfahan province. No information has been published about the process of his arrest, interrogation, court hearings, or other proceedings.

According to a statement published by Mizan News Agency, the media outlet of the judiciary, the death sentence of Mohammad Amini Dehaqani was carried out in the early hours of today, July 15, 2025, following confirmation by the Supreme Court.

The statement claims that on January 9, 2025, Amini Dehaqani threw a Molotov cocktail at the Dehaqan governor's office, causing a fire, and then threw another Molotov cocktail at the county's police station. Judicial authorities also claimed he played a role in inciting protesters to attack the police station.

The Islamic Republic's judiciary has based a large part of the case on the defendant's confessions. The official statement claims that during interrogations he admitted to throwing Molotov cocktails at both the governor's office and the police station, and also stated that he had intended to use a Kalashnikov rifle which, according to security officials, had been seized from officers.

Mohammad Amini Dehaqani was also charged with "republishing and disseminating propaganda content against the Islamic Republic, disturbing public opinion, and disrupting the psychological security of society."
He was additionally charged with "seeking to establish contact with accounts" belonging to opponents of the Islamic Republic and "seeking contact" with virtual pages associated with the Pahlavi family.

Judicial authorities have released no information about how the defendant accessed independent legal counsel, the conditions of his interrogation, or how the trial was conducted. It also remains unclear under what circumstances the published confessions were obtained and whether the defendant had the opportunity to deny or challenge them.

The execution of Mohammad Amini Dehaqani comes as human rights organizations have repeatedly warned about the increasing issuance and implementation of death sentences against protesters and defendants in security-related cases in the Islamic Republic.

*Machine translation:*

TAMPA, Florida — U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) concluded another round of strikes against Iran at 10:00 PM Eastern Time on July 14, targeting dozens of military positions near the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's coastal areas.

During this seven-hour wave of strikes, U.S. fighter jets, drones, and naval vessels employed precision-guided munitions against Iranian missile and drone sites, naval capabilities, and coastal defense systems to further degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping and civilian crews.

The strikes took place on the same day U.S. forces resumed a naval blockade against vessels traveling to or from Iranian ports and coastal areas. The blockade went into effect today at 4:00 PM Eastern Time.

U.S. forces remain vigilant, lethal, and ready to carry out any operations ordered by the Commander in Chief.

Local sources report a rising casualty toll from the attack on Brigade 388 of the Army in #Bampour; at least 50 wounded, at least two deaths in hospital, and reports of widespread casualties inside the base.

According to the latest information received, at least 50 wounded have so far been transferred to medical centers, particularly Khatam al-Anbiya Hospital in Iranshahr, with seven of them reported in critical condition.

According to Haalvsh sources: "Among the wounded transferred to the hospital, at least two have died from the severity of their injuries, and the condition of seven others is critical. The transfer of wounded is ongoing."

Sources added: "At the same time, numerous reports from inside Brigade 388 indicate that the death toll at the site of the attack is far higher than the number transferred to hospital, with dozens killed inside the base. However, due to security restrictions and denial of access to the site, independent verification of these figures has not yet been possible."

According to local sources, parts of the soldiers' barracks and other facilities inside the base were targeted during the attacks, which has contributed to the rising death and injury toll. Security measures around the brigade remain in place, and civilians and military families are being prevented from approaching the area.

Haalvsh had previously reported multiple waves of attack, at least 11 explosions heard, ambulances entering the brigade, a complete blackout of the base's lights, and the transfer of wounded to Khatam al-Anbiya Hospital in Iranshahr.

As of the time of this report, no Islamic Republic officials have made any official statement regarding the death toll, number of wounded, extent of damage, or details of the attack. The information published in this report is based on statements from local sources and eyewitnesses, and Haalvsh continues to follow up and verify the dimensions of this incident.

Trump: Ultimately, we will target energy [infrastructure] in Iran. Next week it will be the bridges. We will take out all of their power plants. We will destroy all of their bridges — unless they come to the negotiating table.

The Axios website, citing American and Israeli officials, reported that the U.S. president told the Israeli prime minister in a phone call on Thursday that Israel must begin a gradual withdrawal of its forces from Syria, and urged him to take similar action in Lebanon as well.

According to a report published Tuesday, July 14, by the website, a U.S. official said Donald Trump stressed to Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel's military presence on Syrian soil is destabilizing and could lead to an escalation of conflict.

According to the official, Trump told Netanyahu: "They don't want you there. You need to get your forces out," adding that the same applies to Lebanon.

In response, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office stated: "The Prime Minister has emphasized the necessity of establishing security buffer zones along Israel's borders."

The call took place one day after the U.S. president met with his Syrian counterpart, Ahmed al-Sharaa, on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Turkey.

According to Axios, with three months remaining until Israel's parliamentary elections — which are critical to Netanyahu's political survival — it seems unlikely that he will take significant steps to withdraw Israeli forces from areas under Israeli control in Syria, or agree to further withdrawals beyond what was previously accepted in Lebanon.

The Israeli military currently controls large swaths of southern Lebanon and southern Syria. Senior members of the Israeli government are calling for indefinite control over these areas, with some even advocating for the establishment of Jewish settlements there.

On Tuesday, July 13th, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry called on Tehran to be "responsible for the consequences of continuing these unjust attacks," expressing its "strong condemnation and disgust" over Iran's attacks on several Arab countries.

The ministry's statement reported that a number of Kuwaiti border posts, an offshore drilling platform belonging to the Kuwait Oil Company, and the Kuwaiti consulate general in the Iraqi city of Basra had been targeted. Referring to Iran's attacks on Jordan, Bahrain, Qatar, and two Emirati oil tankers while passing through the Strait of Hormuz, the statement criticized Iran's "continued threat to regional security and stability."

In the statement, Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry declared its "complete opposition" to what it described as "Iran's violation of the sovereignty of brotherly nations, its continued destabilizing behavior toward regional security, and its violation of the principles of international law, the United Nations Charter, the Charter of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and the principles of good neighborliness."

While calling for a halt to Iran's attacks, Saudi Arabia emphasized Riyadh's full solidarity with the targeted countries.

On Tuesday afternoon, July 14th, hours before the formal resumption of the naval blockade on Iran's ports and shipping, the U.S. President said no one should collect tolls or fees for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

Donald Trump, at a press conference alongside Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Sudani at the White House, said that following his earlier announcement of imposing a 20% toll on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, various countries contacted him and said they would prefer to invest in the United States rather than pay tolls for passage through the strait.

Referring to the Persian Gulf states, he said these countries are set to invest in America, and he believes this is a better solution compared to collecting tolls.

The U.S. President praised Ali Al-Sudani and said that if Iraq needs protection, we will be by its side.

He said the U.S. will have strong cooperation with Iraq in the oil sector and will announce it soon. American forces are leaving Iraq and American companies are coming in.

Donald Trump, at a press conference with Ali Al-Sudani, Iraq's Prime Minister, at the White House, said: "The Prime Minister of Iraq won an election that many thought someone else would win. I played a role in that, and it was important to me that someone came to power who could handle this responsibility well. We now have a new and extraordinary champion, and it is an honor to have him with us."

Trump added: "American oil companies are entering Iraq at an unprecedented scale, partnering with the country and will have extensive cooperation. Our relationship has now reached a level where there is no longer a need for a U.S. military presence in Iraq. We are there to help Iraq and will support it if necessary, but we don't think that need will arise."

Regarding the Islamic Republic, he said: "Iran was Iraq's main rival and had placed a heavy burden on this country, as it was considered the bully of the Middle East. But Iran has now been largely weakened, and its military capability is only a fraction of what it was four months ago. This situation has given Iraq greater freedom of action, and it is one of the reasons American oil companies are entering Iraq on such a large scale."
@VahidOOnLine
Recalling his days as a civilian figure, Trump said: "I always said don't go to Iraq and don't attack it." Criticizing the military intervention and making an indirect reference to Iran, he added: "To be honest, they attacked the wrong country and caused tremendous damage."

**Trump: The Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships, except Iranian ships**

*Machine translation:*

Oil is flowing more than ever, thanks to the incredible power of the United States military. Special thanks to Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Dan Caine, and Commander of U.S. Central Command Admiral Brad Cooper. Thanks to them and all the members of the most powerful military in the world — by far — the Strait of Hormuz is open to all ships, except Iranian ships; and this is due to Iran's lying, violent, and malicious leadership, which is driving the country toward total destruction.

Therefore, we will have a complete blockade, but only against ships that travel to Iranian ports or carry anything related to Iranian cargo.
Based on very productive conversations with Middle Eastern leaders,
I have decided to replace the "20% repayment cost to the United States" with trade and investment deals that various Gulf countries will make in the United States.
These investments will be enormous, but at the same time extremely beneficial for those countries themselves and their futures.

As everyone knows, we have the highest level of dollar investment in the United States from any country in history, but these new investments will make that figure even larger, and we will see factories, facilities, and equipment pouring into the United States at historic levels — something that will create millions more high-paying jobs for Americans!

America is winning again — winning like never before. The era of hundreds of thousands of people being killed by Iran, including 52,000 protesters, has ended, and most importantly, Iran will never obtain a nuclear weapon!

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

A video published by Netanyahu's office, machine translation:

We are ready for any scenario. There's only one thing I can tell you... No, I'm saying this to Iran's leaders:

If you attack us, don't count on quiet.

Don't think the previous episode is going to repeat itself exactly; because this time it will not be a rerun of the previous one. The previous one was powerful enough — this one is something else, much more powerful.

Those days are over when someone strikes us and we don't strike back several times harder. We did this with Iran's axis of evil and we will continue doing so against anyone who strikes us.

This is how we operate.

CNN, citing a senior source in Tehran, reported that if Donald Trump follows through on his threat to strike the underground facility known as "Pickaxe Mountain," the Islamic Republic will deliver a "devastating response." This threat comes as Pickaxe Mountain has in recent years become one of Iran's most important and secure nuclear centers.

US President Donald Trump stated in a media interview yesterday that Washington is closely monitoring a deep underground complex in Iran. He claimed that while there are currently no visible signs of active operations at the facility, the United States may soon strike "a hard blow" at the entrance of the complex.

Kuh-e Kolang Gazla — known in Western media as Pickaxe Mountain — is located in Isfahan Province, approximately one and a half kilometers from the Natanz uranium enrichment facility. According to experts, the complex is considered one of Iran's most fortified underground facilities due to its great depth and location within hard granite rock.

Technical assessments indicate that the underground halls of the complex have been excavated at depths ranging from 80 to 100 meters, with some sections reaching approximately 600 meters — a feature that makes it even deeper than the Fordow enrichment site. For this reason, some Western analysts refer to the complex as Iran's "nuclear fortress."

At 12:44, the sound of an explosion was heard, but it was faint.

Hi Vahid,
At 12:45, Bushehr was hit again.

Bushehr, 12:45 PM, Bahmani district — the sound of the explosion was very close. The house shook.

Just now at 12:42, Bushehr's Bahmani district was hit (possibly the Army air base or the IRGC naval base at Rishehr). The sound of two bombs was heard.

Hi, Bushehr 12:47 — very loud sounds of explosions.

Greetings Vahid, Bushehr — two heavy strikes just now.

Bushehr was just hit at 12:44.
Compared to earlier, the sound was closer, so you could guess it was the airport again.
Hit again at 12:47.
6 or 7 massive explosions just now — it must be the factory area, because it's very close. 12:54.

12:47 Bushehr — around 4 or 5 explosion sounds. Fairly intense.

12:53, they're hitting again. About 7 or 8 strikes just now.

Hi, Bushehr is making noise again — from 12:52, several explosion sounds have been heard.

At 12:53, at least 10 missiles hit Bushehr.

From 12:40, nearly seven or eight strikes on Bushehr. The house is shaking!

Vahid, Bushehr has been getting hit non-stop for the past ten to fifteen minutes in rapid succession…

There were so many explosions, all consecutive — impossible to count how many.
For about 10–20 seconds, the boom of explosions just didn't stop.

Vahid, rapid strikes again — Bushehr's Rishehr district was hit, it was terrifying.

At 12:58, the Val Fajr pier in Bushehr was hit with 8 bombs — massive explosion.

Hi, at 1:00 PM — continuous sounds of explosions in Bushehr.

The [Islamic Consultative] Assembly held its first public session on the night of July 12, after months of suspension.

According to the Khaneh Mellat news agency (the parliament's news agency), more than 250 members of parliament convened at the Baharestan building, with the session chaired by Hamidreza Haji Babai, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament.

MPs chanted slogans demanding "revenge against the killers" of Ali Khamenei, the former Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as commanders and political figures killed in the war.

The session resolved that, in emergency situations and special circumstances in Iran, parliamentary sessions may be held "in virtual space or outside of Baharestan."

Among the notable points of today's session was the installation of a portrait of Mojtaba Khamenei, the new Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, as well as the absence of Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, the Speaker of Parliament, from the chamber.

The convening of a public parliamentary session after months of suspension — and during off-hours — drew widespread reactions and attracted significant media attention.

*In the name of God, the Crusher of Tyrants*
*"Fight them; God will punish them by your hands, disgrace them, grant you victory over them, and heal the hearts of a believing people."*

Dear heroic and faithful people of Iran; your children in the IRGC Navy stand tall in upholding their pledge to protect the rights of the Iranian people in the Strait of Hormuz.

Hours ago, the child-killing American army — which has failed to learn from its repeated defeats — attempted, through provocation of vessels, to pass a number of them through an illegal route. Two violating super tankers, which were deceived by America and, by disabling their navigation systems and ignoring repeated warnings from the Strait of Hormuz Security Control Center, endangered navigation along this route and chose to pass through a mined corridor, were struck and disabled.

The IRGC Navy announces to all: cooperating with the aggressive enemy that has come from thousands of kilometers away to violate the rights of the people of the region, and passing through the mined route, will yield nothing but regret, damage, and delay in the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and the creation of an energy crisis in the world.

Remarks by Tammy Bruce, U.S. Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations, at the Emergency Security Council Session — machine translation:

Once again, this Council has been convened for an emergency meeting to discuss the Iranian government's efforts to threaten its neighbors in the [Persian] Gulf and undermine efforts to establish peace in the region.

On July 3, an Iranian flight from Tehran entered Sanaa, in Houthi-controlled territory. The purpose of this flight was to transport IRGC forces, including drone and missile experts, to support Houthi terrorism — under the cover of transporting Houthi officials to the funeral of the Islamic Republic's Supreme Leader.

This type of support enables the Houthis to terrorize the people of Yemen and threaten freedom of navigation in the Red Sea and surrounding waterways. We have not seen Iran attempt to provide such overt and brazen support to the Houthis since Mahan Air flights to Sanaa were halted in 2015. Indeed, Houthi leaders openly celebrated this recent flight as a successful circumvention of international efforts to isolate the terrorist group.

These actions constitute a violation of Security Council Resolution 2216. ...
Furthermore, this morning a second Iranian flight entered Yemen despite the explicit and public order from the Government of the Republic of Yemen to refrain from doing so. The Islamic Republic of Iran's deliberate disregard for Yemen's sovereignty and for the collective decisions of this Council is simply unacceptable.

Likewise, we have witnessed Iran's flagrant disregard for Security Council Resolution 2817. ...

Last week, Iran launched drones and missiles at three civilian commercial vessels transiting Omani territorial waters — an act contrary to international law. These attacks could have injured or killed crew members and caused significant environmental damage. One vessel, a Qatari tanker carrying liquefied natural gas, was left burning, further endangering the passage of other ships through the strait.

Then on Saturday evening, Iran targeted a container ship bound for the United Arab Emirates. One Indian national remains missing. These attacks stem from no legitimate principle. Rather, as one of the Islamic Republic Supreme Leader's advisors stated on Sunday, these actions stem from Iran's desire to illegally seize a critical waterway and use it as a tool of strategic deterrence.

Beyond the maritime domain, over the past week Iran has launched drones and missiles at Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates. Qatar's Interior Ministry reported that three people, including a child, were injured by falling debris from interception operations following Iran's Sunday attacks.
...

In the weeks since this memorandum of understanding was signed, Iran has violated it on multiple occasions. As long as Iran continues to threaten the safe passage this memorandum is designed to protect, the United States will not implement it unilaterally.

Simply put, if Iran fires on ships, we will respond immediately with military force. U.S. military operations are a response to these threats within the framework of self-defense and defense of others.
...
The United States stands with its partners in the [Persian] Gulf and will stand alongside the Government of the Republic of Yemen against the terrorist threat posed by Iran-backed Houthis. We remain committed to working with Council members and using all available tools, including sanctions, to support a peaceful resolution to the Yemen conflict and to protect international peace and security.

Finally, we again call on the Council to clearly and unambiguously tell Iran that these blatant actions are contrary to international law and are unacceptable.

Yes, I know; but we don't want to talk about it. But we definitely have them under surveillance.
Yes, I know a lot about this subject. I know a lot of things, but I don't think it's appropriate to talk about it right now. But we'll see.
For example, tonight we're going to hit them very hard, and tomorrow we'll hit them hard too. There's nothing they can do about it. They have nothing. They do nothing except boast.
Well, I think they're a little crazy — all of them are like that. We took out their first tier. Then we took out their second tier. Then we eliminated about 25 percent of that regime.
Their minds work a little differently. Yesterday we had an agreement that was supposed to be 100 percent finalized, but suddenly they received a call and they all ran out of the room.
These people... these people are crazy. We had a deal where we would get everything we wanted. But they basically break agreements, you know? They make deals and in their view, deals are made to be broken.
These are extremely untrustworthy people. Honestly, if they ever had a nuclear weapon, they'd use it within a day.

🌳Hugh Hewitt:
Go on, Mr. President.

🔴Trump:
Unfortunately I did this, because I got to know them. [inaudible about the memorandum] Much better. You know, people say I was at least a reasonable person, but I got to know them and realized they are completely cold-blooded...

🌳Hugh Hewitt:
What was the memorandum of understanding your negotiators brought? Was it a [inaudible] memorandum? Was it structured to fall apart?

🔴Trump:
It was structured to test them. It was a test. We didn't know.
Look, when you're dealing with bad people, a memorandum of understanding doesn't mean much. Even when you're dealing with honorable people it doesn't mean much, because it's just a memorandum. It doesn't mean much.
I said: why are we even doing this? It's a standard American approach to first reach a memorandum of understanding and then go for the final agreement. I said go straight for the final agreement.
But you know what? It was in a sense a test, and they didn't hold to it — they didn't abide by the test.

🔄 He also made additional statements not in the video above:
Donald Trump, President of the United States, announced on Monday during a conversation with Hugh Hewitt, broadcaster and political analyst, that the U.S. military has targeted "Kouhe Kolang" (Mountain Kolang) in Iran and will destroy it. Previously, the news agency "Ynet" had revealed, through newly published satellite images, that this secret underground site in the Zagros mountain range — which the International Atomic Energy Agency is not permitted to inspect — remains active. This raises questions about Tehran's compliance with the recent memorandum of understanding regarding non-development of nuclear weapons.
