🇮🇷| JUST IN: Iran’s President, Pezeshkian, appointed Ali Larijani as the new Secretary of the SNSC.
Ali Larijani is the former Parliament speaker. Ali Larijani however does not have a good reputation among the public due to its low performance during his parliamentary era.

🇮🇷🇪🇺| Iran’s FM deputy on Iran-E3 talks:
We held a serious, frank, and detailed discussion with the E3/EU PDs. The latest developments regarding the issue of sanctions lifting and the nuclear issue were discussed and reviewed. While seriously criticising their stances regarding the recent war of aggression against our people, we explained our principled positions, including on the so-called snapback mechanism.
Both sides came to the meeting with specific ideas, the various aspects of which were examined. It was agreed that consultations on this matter will continue.

🇮🇷🇪🇺| Iran's Deputy FM, Gharibabadi, arrived at Iran's consulate in Istanbul for talks with the E3 regarding JCPOA snapback.
The meeting has already begun since an hour ago or so. The E3 wants to extend the snapback deadline to March 2026, but Iran has disagreed so far.

🇦🇿🇮🇱| NEW: Boeing military cargo planes from the Baku-based Silk Way Airlines were spotted at Israel's Ben Gurion Airport yesterday morning.
The Aliyev regime is transferring military equipment to Baku at a high speed and in such large quantities.
@FotrosResistancee
They were giving delicious free tea dedicated to Imam Hussein (naazri) to anyone with thirst, just casually on the road.
This is something very common in Iran, they do it out of love for Imam Hussein (as).
They also put the Israeli flag on the ground, and I saw this as a good opportunity to clean off the dirt from my shoes.
Was at Mehrabad airport yesterday in Tehran, and filmed the landing of this Mcdonnel Douglas from inside the plane.
You can see Iranian Air Force Boeing-747 in the background as well.

🇮🇷| Saeed Jalili revealed how the Rouhani administration put pressure on nuclear scientists:
After the JCPOA, they told Martyr Dr. Minouchehr to share their nuclear research with the IAEA. Minouchehr refused to give in even to the cost of his job.

The ship with 17 crew members, including the captain of this foreign oil tanker, are in custody to complete the investigation.

🇮🇷| Iranian Defense Minister:
We do not trust the ceasefire at all, and have predicted & prepared ourselves for various scenarios.
@FotrosResistancee
Also, the airport was in perfect condition. Our plane landed all the way at the end of the airport so we got taxi’ed and I paid extra attention to the surroundings and everything looked splendid.
PS: I also met 2-times world record breaker in weightlifting Rezazadeh, in my plane.
🇸🇾🇮🇱🇦🇿| What did the terrorists in Baku talk about?
According to a Syrian source to i24 News: "2 meetings have been held so far, one of which was attended by al-Jolani and Netanyahu's special envoy, and there is a possibility of a 3rd meeting."
The topics discussed in these meetings are very broad and include details of the security agreement under consideration between Syria and Israel, Iran's role in Syria and Lebanon, the weapons capabilities of Hezbollah and Palestinian resistance factions, the situation in the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon, and the future of the Gaza refugees in the region.
One of the options discussed in these meetings is the opening of an Israeli coordination office in Damascus, which is not supposed to have official diplomatic status.
The choice of Baku as the venue for these meetings was a joint decision of Tel Aviv and Washington to send a message to the Islamic Republic of Iran — Fars News.

@FotrosResistancee
🇮🇷🇺🇸🇪🇺| Iranian FM:
• If the E3 activates the JCPOA snapback, then Europe will permanently have no role in Iran's nuclear issue. This could be the darkest point in Iran-E3 relations, possibly never to be repaired.
• Negotiations must respect Iran's right to enrichment. There’ll be NO agreement without recognizing our right to enrichment. If negotiations occur, the only topic will be the nuclear program. No other issues will be discussed, especially defense or military matters.
• Cooperation with IAEA has not stopped but will be pursued in a new way & through SNSC. The SNSC will decide on IAEA demand for monitoring case by case, with an eye on safety & security considerations. We'll remain committed to NPT & safeguards agreement with IAEA [very lame; who chairs to SNSC? It’s like saying we won’t talk to you on the phone, but I’ll stay in touch with you via my friend’s phone].
• Tehran has received several messages that US insists to return to negotiating table. On timing, he said Iran is in no hurry to enter into an ill-considered process. But Iran remains willing to talk [lame.]

FYI: I’m on a little vacation here in Iran, hence no regular posts these days.
Will still post here and there!
🇮🇷🇮🇱🇺🇸| US official admits Israel’s top-tier Arrow-3 interceptor missiles almost ran out
The official told WSJ that if Iran fired a few more large volleys of missiles, Israel could have exhausted its supply of top-tier Arrow-3 interceptor missiles.
@FotrosResistancee
🇮🇷| NEW: Iran launched the Nahid-2 satellite into space today with a domestic hot-gas propulsion system, using the Russian Soyuz SLV.
Nahid-2 has a strategic importance for Iran as it’s a vital step for orbital transfer which Iran needs to reach GEO orbital layer.
@FotrosResistancee
🇮🇷| Iranian MFA announced that the IAEA Deputy DG will visit Tehran within a few weeks.
The motive of visit is to consult on a new protocol for Iran-IAEA cooperation. They are banned from visiting nuclear facilities that were damaged.
Rafael Grossi isn’t allowed to enter either
@FotrosResistancee
—❗️🇺🇸/🇮🇷 BREAKING: This morning, the American guided missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) attempted to enter Iranian waters in the Persian Gulf
An Iranian Navy helicopter from the third naval air region was dispatched to intercept the ship. The ship's captain repeatedly threatened to shoot down the helicopter.
After several repeated verbal warnings and the pilot's refusal to leave, the American vessel was forced to change course and left Iranian waters.
@Middle_East_Spectator
🇮🇷🇺🇸🇪🇺| Per Iranian MP, who in turn quoted Iran’s FM:
Iran will indirectly negotiate with the US before the JCPOA snapback, if sanctions will be lifted, and Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear program is respected.
@FotrosResistancee
🇾🇪🇮🇱| Israel carried out attacks in the port of Al Hudaydah
The attacks follow the same previous pattern: Attempts to target the same infrastructure that has been repeatedly damaged before – while AnsarAllah are still trying to rebuild them.
Obviously, these attacks will not stop Yemen’s launches – in the last 2 weeks, six ballistic missiles and two drones have been fired towards “Israel”.
@FotrosResistancee
🇮🇷🇺🇸| Iranian FM:
We're not yet convinced that the US has the real determination & desire for a win-win agreement.
Iran’s nuclear program is 100% peaceful and determined to continue this program.
The ceasefire is fragile for a clear reason as the Israeli regime has a terrible track record. We remain fully prepared.

One of the most iconic & nostalgic view when exiting Tehran’s Mehrabad airport 🇮🇷
Читать полностью…—❗️🇮🇱/🇮🇷 EXCLUSIVE: Two hours before the start of the 12-day war, Iran had obtained clear intelligence pointing towards an imminent Israeli attack — despite believing that an attack was unlikely, due to ongoing nuclear negotiations with the U.S.
However, Iran's high command had assessed that the Israeli strike would likely focus on nuclear sites, and that it would not include widespread strikes on military / civilian targets in Tehran and throughout the country.
A comprehensive response to an attack on Iran's nuclear sites had been prepared and planned for several months, but the scale of the Israeli attack left the military leadership confused and paralyzed, especially following the rapid assassination of Brigadier General Salami and Brigadier General Bagheri and the Israeli strike on Iran's General Command HQ.
In the first critical 24 hours, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei made various important decisions, including quickly appointing new generals through executive orders, as well as motivating the political echelon. This rapid action by the Leader changed the course and outcome of the war.

🇮🇷| Recent cyberattack on Iranian Bank Sepah, which disrupted services for millions, caused for concern about the risks of merging armed forces’ banks under the Hassan Rouhani government.
Critics long warned that centralizing military financial assets in one bank was a strategic mistake that could threaten national security and financial stability.
When Rouhani finalized the merger in 2019, few expected it to become a major public issue 6 years later.
And now here we are. Thanks to the reformists.
— Just drove through Tabriz, one of the cities that was heavily attacked by Israel during the 12-day war, and nothing has changed since the last time I visited.
Life continues like nothing happend.
