💠 Sheikh Naeem: Whoever stands against us, we will confront them like Israel | If the government is unable to secure Lebanon, it should step aside
Secretary-General of Hezbollah Lebanon:
🔹 US sanctions will never weaken us; if the US continues its savagery, there will be nothing left for it in Lebanon.
🔹 The resistance will defend its land and honor and will deal with anyone who stands against us just as we confront “Israel.”
🔹 The Lebanese government tells us to help disarm you, so that after that “Israel” can enter, kill you, and displace your people!
🔹 Weapons will remain in our hands as long as the Lebanese government can fulfill its duties and responsibilities.
🔹 Disarming the resistance means stripping Lebanon of its defensive power and paving the way for its destruction, and this is something we can never accept.
🔹 We demand a complete halt to aggressions, a comprehensive Israeli withdrawal, the freedom of prisoners, and the return of people to their homes; after these are achieved, we will discuss defense strategy.
🔹 If the Lebanese government is unable to secure and maintain the country’s sovereignty, then it must step aside.
🔹 Resistance drones will continue to pursue Zionist soldiers.
🔹 Without drone footage, the “Israeli” side would never have admitted to these damages.
🔹 The current events in southern Lebanon mark the beginning of the decline and destruction of “Israel.”
🇺🇸🇨🇳US senators admit US wars on Venezuela and Iran are proxy wars on China itself.
Senator Tim Sheehy repeats all the verified lies used to justify these wars while also admitting the real reason was to “take them off the table” as China’s “most vital jugular veins” ahead of targeting China itself.
Senator Elissa “Chinese Cars Are Coming to Get Us” Slotkin applauds US willingness to use military aggression to threaten the world (even at the cost of having lied to voters saying they wouldn’t) but complains none of this is still enough regarding China.
She claims the US “gave on Taiwan,” but this is simply the same false agreements the US has made for decades regarding its “one China” policy while in practice undermining it.
Of course the ongoing US proxy war on Russia is also part of this.

💠 Execution of an enemy spy
🔹 Mojtaba Kian, one of the enemy collaborators who during the Ramadan war sent information related to the country’s defense industry units to the enemy, was hanged after the legal process.
🔹 During the Ramadan war, he sent multiple messages to hostile networks affiliated with the Zionist-American enemy, including coordinates and information about the locations of units producing parts related to the country’s defense industries.
🔹 In messages to the enemy-affiliated network, he sent information about the location of a company related to the defense industry and emphasized to the agents of this network, mentioning the name of the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, to “report this to Bibi.”
🔹 In his confessions, Mojtaba Kian said: After sending a message to the satellite network, they gave me a number to send information to, and I sent the information through that channel.
🔹 Technical examination of the exchanged messages between the convicted and enemy elements shows that 3 days after sending the information, the mentioned location was targeted by the enemy and completely destroyed.
🔹 After Mojtaba Kian’s contact with the hostile media network, he was identified and arrested.
💠Discovery of a projectile carcass in the Qeysari heights
🔹Rangers of the Qeysari protected area in Kuhrang County, Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province, discovered the carcass of a projectile in the Qeysari heights.
I’m following the news myself, it’s not like I’m inactive to the news. I’m just tired with the back and forth.
If something definitively happens, I’ll let you know.

This feeling is understandable from Fotros.
I don’t blame Fotros. At a certain point it becomes so repetitive that a lot of people are just waiting for something to actually happen.
Edit: unsurprisingly, the empire is claiming that Iran is giving up enriched uranium despite Iran saying they will never surrender anything. just shows the psychological manipulation of reality from the empire. When the war restarts, the empire will be forced to admit it completely lost. They can’t keep up the facade forever.
It really is just “back and forth” at this point. We all know usa will attack again because they are psychologically incapable of backing down. But this time between is really dragging. Its got to be crazy stressful for the people in Iran.
🇮🇷| Iran’s UN ambassador says Iran has formally told the UN that Persian Gulf states + Jordan must fully compensate Iran for war damages.
Iran says these countries helped or enabled aggression against Iran.
Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Jordan
He says they are responsible for both material and moral damages under international law.

Disgusting and deranged soceity. I hope that when the US inevitably restarts the war, Iran goes even further and levels every zionist outpost to dust. Make it look like Gaza, and let the settlers scurry like rats.
Iran (and the wider Axis of Resistance) should also treat the zionists the same way they have been treating Palestinians, Lebanese, and Indigenous people in West Asia. zionists deserve everything coming for them.
❗️Israeli citizen caught smuggling embryos through Cyprus as possible trafficking network comes under scrutiny
Turkish Cypriot outlet Bugün Kıbrıs reported that four embryos seized at Ercan Airport while being prepared for transfer abroad were found inside a numbered transport tank bearing the name of Israeli courier company LifeParcel.
The first suspect arrested, identified as Y.M.G., was reportedly an Israeli citizen.
According to the report, the transport tank belonged to LifeParcel, an international IVF courier company founded by Israeli-linked embryologist Aharon Peretz.
The embryos were allegedly sourced from Vita Altera IVF, a fertility center in Lefkoşa described in police records as operating in egg, sperm, and embryo donation, embryo freezing, IVF, ICSI, and genetic screening services.
Bugün Kıbrıs noted that no clear information about Vita Altera IVF’s founders or ownership structure appears in open sources, raising further questions about the network behind the operation.
Ynet reported that the Israeli suspect was arrested on 19 May at Ercan Airport while allegedly attempting to fly to Mexico via Istanbul carrying the embryos in four separate test tubes inside a specialized “LifeParcel” transport container.
Israeli media said authorities suspect violations related to the illegal transfer and trafficking of embryos and genetic material across borders, while police in Northern Cyprus also arrested the director of the clinic and a local doctor as part of the ongoing investigation.

Such a strange and disturbed soceity.

❗️US reportedly used over half its THAAD interceptor stockpile defending Israel during war on Iran
The Washington Post reported on 21 May, citing Pentagon assessments and US officials, that the United States fired more than 200 THAAD interceptors, roughly half of its total inventory, to defend Israel during the war on Iran.
The report added that US forces also launched more than 100 SM-3 and SM-6 naval interceptors from warships in the eastern Mediterranean.
According to the report, Israel used far fewer high-end interceptors, firing fewer than 100 Arrow interceptors and around 90 David’s Sling interceptors, while relying on the US to absorb most of the ballistic missile defense burden during what officials referred to as “Operation Epic Fury.”
One US administration official told the paper that the US “shot around 120 more interceptors and engaged twice as many Iranian missiles” as Israel did.
The report said the heavy expenditure has raised concerns inside the Pentagon and among US allies in Asia over depleted interceptor stockpiles and broader military readiness.
Kelly Grieco of the Stimson Center told the paper the US is now left with roughly 200 THAAD interceptors while production “can’t keep pace with demand,” warning that shortages could impact theaters unrelated to Iran, including deterrence against China and North Korea.
Israel has reportedly taken some missile defense batteries offline for maintenance, according to US officials cited by The Washington Post, a move that could force Washington to expend an even greater share of its interceptor inventory if the war on Iran resumes.
Another US official told the paper that “Israel is not capable of fighting and winning wars on its own” without extensive US military support.
i wonder how safe South Korea feels now
You, know, I do wonder if the comprodor elites of Vassels like Occupied Korea buy into the scaremongering as fanatics or if it’s entirely a show. I guess it would be a combination of both based on who the empire wants in power at any specific point.
But, for my money, I’d assume they don’t feel very insecure at all. The DPRK is not a violent rabid entity, and is much more focused on internal development at this moment in time. Even if they could militarily overwhelm the South with the US distracted, they wouldn’t because it would obviously lead to more problems to juggle then they currently have.
I reckon that the leadership of South is well aware of their neighbor’s rational tendencies and isn’t sweating too much about it. However, I’d imagine that the fanatical reactionary elements who seek to start a war with the North are probably fuming right now.
🇺🇸🇮🇷The US lost 20% of its MQ-9 Reaper drones during the operation against Iran, Bloomberg reported. According to the agency, the total damage from the destroyed drones could reach $1 billion.

❗️Iran says it seeks ‘rights, not concessions’ from the US
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said Tehran is not seeking any “concessions” from the United States, stressing that Iran is only demanding the restoration of its rights after decades of “crippling sanctions” imposed under various pretexts, particularly allegations surrounding Iran’s nuclear program.
Baghaei said there has never been any nuclear threat from Iran against regional or international actors, adding that Tehran’s core demands include lifting US sanctions, ending Washington’s “criminal measures” against the Iranian people, and releasing Iran’s frozen assets.
He also condemned the illegal “naval blockade” in the Strait of Hormuz, saying the US must take steps to end it, as the measures violate international law.

❗️Netherlands approves ban on goods from illegal Jewish settlements in occupied Palestinian territories
The Dutch government has approved a measure banning trade in goods originating from illegal Jewish settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, including the occupied West Bank and the occupied Syrian Golan Heights, according to local media reports.
Dutch Prime Minister said the move is aimed at increasing pressure on the government of Israeli Prime Minister over violations of international law and the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
The ban currently applies only to goods, while broader restrictions on services and investments remain under review.
Dutch officials said they will seek coordination with other European countries, including Belgium, to strengthen enforcement.
