🇱🇧Hezbollah confirms that Lebanon was included in the ceasefire broken by "Israel" with the announcement of their first operation today 👇🏻
Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance (1):
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
“Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they were wronged. And indeed, God is fully capable of granting them victory.” (Quran 22:30)
God Almighty has spoken the truth.
In defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the enemy’s violation of the ceasefire agreement, and after the Resistance adhered to the ceasefire while the enemy did not, the mujahideen of the Islamic Resistance targeted the settlement of Manara with a rocket barrage at 2:30 AM on Thursday, April 9, 2026.
This response will continue until the "Israeli"-American aggression against our country and our people ceases.
Victory comes only from God, the Almighty, the Wise.

Major "israeli" public figure sadistically laughs and gloats at the massacre of innocent people in Lebanon, including children killed
To hell with any so-called "pro-Palestine" activist group that prioritizes Jewish feelings over Palestinian, Lebanese, Syrian, Yemeni, and Iranian blood killed by vile Jewish supremacists who laugh as they slaughter scores of innocent civilians in Lebanon within the span of half a day.
So don't crucify us if from time to time we talk about the Rothschilds, Talmud, Hollywood, the African slave trade, and the academic scrutiny on the facts of World War 2 and the alleged holocaust. Because their wickedness goes beyond the occupation of Palestine and its history goes back centuries.
The eternal victims need to be exposed as the eternal victimizers. And this is not a race issue - all human beings are born pure in submission to their Lord and Sustainer, but society corrupts them away from that. People can't choose how they're born, but they can choose how they act in this life. Shame they waste their human potential for the sake of genocide, usury, and Epstein.

🇮🇷🇺🇸 Iran is prepared for a long war, the US and Zionist regime are not
Iran doesn't need a ceasefire, because this Satanic enemy only knows deceit and bloodshed.
Whatever victory Iran gained from the enemy begging for a ceasefire has quickly dissipated. Iran still controls the Strait of Hormuz, having re-closed it only a few hours after opening it (and taking toll fees as usual).
It has the right to immediately pull out of the so-called ceasefire and pointless negotiations with biased Jewish supremacists Witkoff and Kushner.
The US and Zionists are desperate because they are almost out of interceptor missiles. Their stock market crisis is also widening for them and will destroy their empires.
Revenge for the massacres in Lebanon and the attack on one Iranian island has the ripe conditions now.
Moreover, the ability to exit the ceasefire shows that Iran holds the cards. They didn't come begging for this. The US and Zionists did because they are stuck in a quagmire where they have no exit. Their only destination is elimination, collapse, and ruin.
Enough with those enshrining and worshiping negotiations and international law. There is no international law - it is the biggest joke and most hypocritical institution in the world.
Diplomacy has its place but that requires the tact to not be deceived, nor to equate beggary with diplomacy like Javad Zarif does.
Iran gained victory when the enemy frantically tried to put this ceasefire together. Iran will also gain victory by exiting the ceasefire because this wicked enemy knows only deceit and treachery.
The enemy must be forced into unconditional surrender where there is no room for them to set up a non-binding temporary framework that they can break at will.
Iran has asserted its power. The US and Zionists may have started this war, but it is the Islamic resistance who will end it and decide when and how it ends. God willing this worthless ceasefire is torn up. Victory is preferable to a fake "peace" with no justice.

Lady Khadija (SA) - The Woman Who Gave Everything For Islam
In the Name of Allah, the All-Beneficent, the All-Merciful
The Prophet (S) describing Lady Khadija (SA):
ما أبدلنی اللَّهِ خیرا مِنْهَا ، صدقتنی إِذْ کذبنی النَّاسِ و واستنی بِمَالِهَا اذ حرمنی النَّاسِ ، و رزقنی اللَّهُ الْوَلَدُ مِنْهَا و لمیرزقنی مِنْ غیرها
"Allah did not grant me better than her; she accepted me when people rejected me; she shared her wealth with me when other people deprived me; and Allah has provided children for me from her, while He didn't provide children for me from other than her."
[Al-Shaykh al-Mufid, al-Ifsah, p. 217]
Shaykh Muhammad M. Khalfan writes:
'In our Hadith we are told that the affluent and wealthy are trustees (wukalaa) of God. Their wealth is not for selfish amassment but rather for generous sharing. Unfortunately however many of the wealthy do not realise this and continue a lavish life of indifference.
Sometimes the wealthy is not only concerned of the destitute and poor but has a deeper insight and more profound vision. His endeavor is greater. He aspires to contribute for the strength, dissemination and elevation of religion and is values.
Such a person soars much higher because such kind of assistance covers a greater realm of generosity. A specific group however due to their extreme concern for religion and its values soar much high, for not only do they sacrifice their wealth for religion, they also abandon their personal interests and are not bothered weather some of their wealth remains for them or not.
Such was our mother Bibi Khadijah (‘a), who was reckoned to be the richest woman of the Quraysh. She sacrificed all her wealth for the dissemination and elevation of Islam. She represents an outstanding and immortal exemplary for all the wealthy in all generations.
The Holy Month of Ramadhan is a great opportunity to extend one’s help and assistance to the destitute and participate in works that would cause the dissemination and elevation of Islam.
In whatever capacity a person can contribute he should take a step if not a leap towards sacrifice of wealth for the sake of the only Beloved.'

It seems as if the Epstein empire is gearing up for an attack on the Islamic Republic.
It's us against the Satanic cannibal pedophiles who are also war criminals, plunderers, and usury-eaters.
It's honestly pathetic that the American people have just sat around at home as it is revealed that their leaders, both Republicans and Democrats (and so-called "anti-establishment" figures like Noam Chomsky and Steve Bannon), are part of this demonic cult that is primarily led by Jewish supremacists who hate Jesus Christ. This system doesn't even benefit them, as they have no hopes of affording a home even with multiple jobs, yet they don't even rise up for their own interests, so there is no expecting them to do anything about their Satanic empire killing our innocent children.
There are some decent Americans but their amount in total is not at a level of critical mass where they can lead an effective movement.
In case we are martyred, please forgive us for our shortcomings. If our internet is cut, please forgive us if we couldn't fulfill any outstanding book orders from our site.
No other ideology other than Shi'a Islam (those who sincerely adhere to it and don't have a price on their soul - not just those who passively inherit it from their parents and wear it as a meaningless name tag) has the bravery and insight to stand against this pedophile global empire.

🇷🇺 🇨🇳 🇮🇷 A realistic look at the military assistance of Russia and China to Iran
In a podcast for IranTalks, analyst Ehsan Sefarnejad addresses the reality of this on the ground and compares it to some misleading exaggerations on social media. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH5NvNxuLMc
This is a helpful outlook because generally we are faced with two extremes when it comes to Russia and China, in their relation to Iran, both of which are exaggerated extremes.
One side constantly claims that various weapons systems are delivered (despite lack of proof), are a game changer, and that China and Russia will come to the rescue as saviors.
Another extreme shows Russia and China as conniving backstabbers who do nothing, perhaps in an attempt to sow division between Tehran-Moscow/Tehran-Beijing relations.
Although the slogan of the Islamic Revolution "no east (Communism), no west (liberal capitalism), just Islam" is an important and crucial principle to maintain, it doesn't mean being at war with everyone or hostile to everyone. That upholds the caricature that the Islamic Revolution is similar in protocol to North Korea/DPRK in terms of isolationism, painting revolutionary Muslims as overly emotional, irrational, and always seeking to be confrontational with everyone in the world.
In Islam, war is only against those who are actively at war with Islam as a way of life and against Muslims themselves, which is limited in the present day to the US, the international Jewish-Zionist network, NATO, and many European powers like the UK, France, and Germany. Countries that are non-Muslim but neutral and friendly can be worked with on the basis of mutual respect.
No east, no west is not a call for being hostile towards every power on earth, but rather being independent and self-confident in our own belief systems. It means relying on God alone, and all alliances are based on mutual respect and not having dependency on anyone. It means modeling internal policies off of Islamic wisdom, and not copy/pasting the system of liberal capitalism from the west (as the reformists have sadly done since the Rafsanjani era) nor copying Marxist models. There may be some facets of both systems that are beneficial to learn from and understand, but blindly copying either in totality is not what an independent country with its own worldview should be doing.
This extends into the military realm as well. The help of other countries like Russia and China is appreciated and helpful and those alliances should not be soured via excessive pessimism, but it should not be exaggerated via excessive optimism, fake news about deliveries of certain weapons systems should not be spread, and the strength and capabilities of indigenous, Iranian-produced systems should not be downplayed as if to be condescending and orientalist towards the Islamic Republic.
In a world of polarization and extremes, it is crucial to take a step back and see the bigger picture for what it is, so that we can better navigate and assess the reality and possibilities of the future.
While military preparation is important and vital, we must not neglect the fact that Iran possesses something more powerful than nukes: the Creator of All Things. The Epstein empire is literally the army of the devil — and the devil is himself a creation of God. It is impossible for God to be defeated by His own creation, He is the all-living and eternal and is needless of us and is not harmed by our sins and corruption. The party of God will be victorious, the question is which side of history will we be on: with those who made use of their potential to become a true human being, or those who wasted it and went to the peak of evil and depravity, such as Epstein and his clientele.

🌟 Hezbollah: Attacks will continue until aggression stops
In defense of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the enemy’s violation of the ceasefire—after the resistance upheld it while the enemy did not—Islamic Resistance fighters launched a missile strike on Mastouneh Al-Manara at 02:30 on Thursday, 09-04-2026.
These retaliatory strikes will continue until Israeli-American aggression against our country and people ceases.
National unity is not rehabilitating traitors like Javad Zarif.
National unity is the non-hijabi woman burning a photo of Zarif during a large pro government rally while the crowd chants slogans against country selling traitors. It is people of all walks of life and outer appearances uniting in support of Iran and Islam.
National unity is between the people. It isn't a cover for those former officials whose entire existence is based on handing over Iran on a silver platter to the Americans and Zionists.
Traitors will get their day in court, God willing, after the external enemies are dealt with.

@BasiraPress
The psychological warfare of the enemy is a companion of the potential military strike
They want to increase fear with their military buildup, calls for foreign nationals to evacuate Iran, and contradictory statements on whether or not they will strike. This is to try and gain concessions from Iran at the negotiating table, which the US is not and never will be a good faith actor.
This is all to try and get Ayatollah Khamenei to bend the knee to other than God. And that will not happen.
"Those who responded to Allah and the Apostle [even] after they had been wounded—for those of them who have been virtuous and Godwary there shall be a great reward.—Those to whom the people said, ‘All the people have gathered against you, so fear them.’ That only increased them in faith, and they said, ‘Allah is sufficient for us, and He is an excellent trustee.’" — Qur'an 3:172-173
A military war is inevitable, even if not now. There will eventually be a clash between the Epstein empire and the Islamic nation. However, just because that has not happened yet does not mean that war is not ongoing. It just takes place in different areas, like psychological, biological, cultural, economic, etc. We must not be affected by those non-military weapons, either.
As far as calls by foreign ministers for their citizens to leave Iran, my humble advice is to only leave if you already had preset plans for reasons of business, family, etc. and leave the dates as they were before the threats of war loomed.
To all foreigners in Iran, do not be affected by the enemy's fearmongering. Take away the power that these tyrannical vampires have and go about your lives as normal. Our Lord and Sustainer is God, not America. Our plans should be based around serving Him, which can include earning an honorable and ethical living through international business or maintaining family ties with those who live abroad.
No matter where we are in the world, we should be a thorn in the side of the arrogant powers. For those who have traveled during Ramadan to visit family or do Islamic tabligh, and would feel frustrated if something went down while they were away, America is so ubiquitous that there has to be some embassy or state institution to protest against.

🇵🇸 Quds Day and a broader vision
The last Friday of Ramadan was designated as Quds Day by Imam Khomeini in 1979.
However, is once a day enough or should it affect our daily decisions for the rest of the year?
Is once a day enough when some Muslims in the west spend the rest of the year working for corporations which support and benefit the international Zionist network and American imperialism, such as Google, Meta, Monsanto, Pfizer, and the banking system? This colonial mentality gets to the point where some Muslims view working for wicked corporations as a bragging right which gets them royal treatment within Islamic centers in the west.
Where is the Muslim version of Marcus Garvey who has a both short-term and long-term vision for the purpose of Muslims living in the west, both diaspora and converts?
Garvey's short-term vision for African descendants of slaves was to have semi-autonomy within the US (black-owned businesses, banks, schools, clinics, industrial resources, etc.) and organize against unjust policies, while his long-term vision was to prepare those who wanted to go back to Africa to go back to Africa so they can use their skillsets to build up Africa instead of building up the power and prestige of the arrogant powers.
“I had a happy life in US and had all facilities, but I gave up all the pleasures and triple divorced the world. I didn’t want to live with capitalists and oppressors in this world, breathe next to them, and sell my knowledge to them for money and well-being.” — Martyr Mustafa Chamran (ra)

@BasiraPress
The idea of "no east (Marxism) or west (liberal capitalism), just Islam" should not be taken as a point of isolation, but actually a source of building bridges with decent people around the world.
Once we have a firm sense of self-confidence in our own belief system and stand as a distinct, independent worldview based on divine values, we can then build bridges and work with people from various different persuasions (left, right, and independent) and religious backgrounds based on the common ground, sincerity, and being a seeker of justice and freedom.
What is truly isolating is when we have no confidence in our own beliefs and abilities, and instead graft other man-made -isms onto our worldview, where Islam takes a backseat. This isolates us because we only see ourselves as a passive, inferior bloc bound to melt into and assimilate into man-made -isms, rather than taking an active role in pioneering new policies and ways of living, and then building bridges based on the common ground with people of the world whose hearts are in the right direction. It is also isolating to limit our cooperation with only one part of the political spectrum (i.e. only left, or only right), rather than being open to all whose hearts are in the right direction.
We can only do this when we first are confident in Islam as a holistic belief system.

⭕️ Remembering the IBRAHIMI MOSQUE MASSACRE
25 February, 1994.
On the morning of February 25, 1994 – one year after the end of the First Intifada – American-Israeli terrorist settler Baruch Goldstein stormed the Ibrahimi Mosque in occupied Hebron and opened fire on Palestinian worshippers as they prayed peacefully, killing 29 and injuring 150.
The massacre took place during the holy month of Ramadan as well as the Jewish holiday of Purim. Among the dead were children.
The survivors of the massacre then beat Goldstein to death, bludgeoning his head with a fire extinguisher.
Israeli forces shut the mosque’s gates and prevented worshippers from entering/exiting for medical attention. They also imposed dozens of checkpoints and barriers, separating the old town from the rest of the Palestinian city.
Mass protests and clashes broke out across the West Bank, during which at least 26 more Palestinians were murdered.
The occupation closed off the Ibrahimi Mosque for 6 months and ended up partitioning it, giving Israel “sovereignty” over 60% of it.
Goldstein – who was born in Brooklyn and ‘immigrated’ to Israel in 1983 – served as a physician in the Israeli army and refused to treat non-Jews.
He got involved with the extremist Kach party, headed by ‘ultranationalist’ Jewish terrorist, Rabbi Meir Kahane, who founded the Jewish Defense League and was responsible for terrorism on a global scale.
Like his teacher, Kahane, Goldstein’s Zionism was “a strange mix of the secular and the religious.” He believed that Jews enjoyed a divine right to their ‘Promised Land’ and needed to use violence to claim it.
9 days before the massacre, a documentary filmmaker asked Goldstein how he reconciled his life as a physician with his calls for violence against Arabs. Quoting Ecclesiastes, he replied:
“A time to kill, and a time to heal.”
Israel likes to claim that Goldstein’s sentiment is a rare occurrence and a thing of the past, but Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, has his portrait hanging on his living room wall.
