- Dr. Ali Larijani's interview:


Therefore, in these circumstances, this guide must be fully supported, and of course the rational aspect of this matter is also very strong. Individuals may have differing opinions on some political matters, but when we are in a major crisis, our support for the one who is the leader and is actually directing the war must be strong. So, we must not create friction. In my opinion, this is part of the essential understanding of the times. I am not saying there are no differences of opinion; there may be many in society, among politicians, among parties. The point is that we must not be heedless of the circumstances, the time, the place, and the situation in which the people find themselves; because sometimes this creates frictions that embolden the enemy to act against us. Therefore, this aspect too, in my view, is important and must be carefully considered.

Que: Is it possible for the Supreme National Security Council to engage in such matters as well?

The Council has always had mechanisms and enactments in this regard; therefore, there is no need for a new decree, as these mechanisms already exist. I am aware that in the past, work was being done in this direction. What matters most is that these mechanisms remain active — that is, they maintain communication with experts, journalists, and writers and provide them with proper guidance. We used to hold such sessions in the past to explain the circumstances to them. I also believe that most of these individuals possess the intellectual maturity; when the situation is properly outlined for them, they can make decisions in a rational and appropriate manner.

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: Dr. Larijani! Although the enemy suffered a strategic defeat in this war, we also experienced certain tactical and practical gaps in military and other areas. Since the defense program in this regard is centralized within the Supreme National Security Council, the public may understandably wish to receive, as much as possible, a report on the measures being taken to fill these security, military, defense, and media gaps before any potential next round of conflict, if it occurs.


In the defense dimension, an important decision was made by the Supreme National Security Council to establish a Defense Council. This Defense Council functions as an auxiliary body of the Supreme National Security Council, tasked solely with defense matters, addressing shortcomings in the armed forces, and planning related activities. Its framework has been established, it has convened sessions, and work is being steadily pursued. In this regard, the General Staff of the Armed Forces has assumed responsibilities and is actively following them up; the Ministry of Defense is also engaged in meeting the necessary requirements, and everyone involved, particularly the commanders of the IRGC and the Aerospace Force, is working diligently to correct any deficiencies observed along the way. Furthermore, the expertise of qualified specialists and capable young personnel is being fully utilized.

At the Secretariat, given our entry into the era of modern warfare, we have established a technological division within the defense domain, focused exclusively on these matters, and it is actively working. Therefore, measures have already been initiated in this field, and I am personally very hopeful, as many specialized university personnel are now linked to this process.

Que: If you wish, I can provide a somewhat more concrete and detailed explanation.

For example, in the area of air defense and radar systems, we had certain deficiencies that are now being addressed, or other related issues are being worked on. While it is not necessary to go into all the minutiae, this gives a general sense of the process. Of course, we also had significant strengths in areas such as missile capabilities, which broke the enemy’s backbone; these strengths must continue to be reinforced, and work is ongoing in this regard. Thus, the defense dimension is actively pursued and, inshaAllah, the outlook is positive.

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: In this context, has the issue of purchasing new equipment also been raised?

Yes, it has. In any case, our main reliance is on domestic capabilities, but we also make use of external assistance. Another dimension is addressing deficiencies in security sectors, and meetings are being held in this regard. This is a problem that must be resolved. It is not only about human resources; for example, when we speak of “infiltration,” it should not be assumed that human agents are always involved. Yes, human elements exist , I am not denying that but there are also other factors.

Que: In fact, one of the ambiguities and challenges within our domestic public opinion, which has not been adequately addressed and has been exploited by the enemy in propaganda, is that a transparent report on the extent and depth of “infiltration” into our own people and public opinion is not provided. I do not know whether it is possible for the national security official to speak more specifically on this issue; if possible, please elaborate a bit. Of course, there is no need to go into minute details, as that could be harmful, but it is essential that these issues are being pursued.

The initial assumption that many have: that infiltration merely involves agents on the streets or elsewhere providing information to the enemy is incorrect. When you examine the field of infiltration, you realize that new technologies and extensive cross-referencing of intelligence can assist foreign services far beyond these basic human elements. Therefore, technical mastery over information can play a crucial role, and this is the primary concern. The methods used by other actors are not limited to sending human agents; that is an older method which still exists, but is not the main tool. The most important factor is that intelligence services can extract valuable operational insights from the totality and intersection of gathered information. Hence, this aspect requires far greater attention.

Another gap we have concerns media narratives. Overall, I do not consider the condition of Iranian media to be poor. Many are working diligently, writing articles, speaking on radio, television, and other platforms. Given that this war was unprecedented, somewhat surprising, and carried out with deception, we must acknowledge that our media suffered an initial shock, but it recovered and began taking action.

The important issue now is that we must both expand and technically enhance our media capacities. I believe our media output is somewhat flat and not very impactful. The audience needs short, concise, and packaged information that is relevant to them. I am not saying that longer, detailed content is unnecessary, if it is engaging, the audience may consume it, but generally, brief, clear segments are preferred.

Another crucial factor is the sincerity of the message. Everyone understands that for security reasons, not everything can be disclosed, but false information must not be presented. The public must feel that the media does not lie or mislead. If there are matters that cannot be disclosed, simply say, “We cannot disclose this now,” and the public will accept it. But if false information is presented, credibility is lost. This principle should guide media work. Especially during wartime, just as the people rely on leadership to pursue objectives, they must equally rely on the media for truthful reporting so that they can understand and navigate the circumstances of the time.

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: Dr. Larijani, you have probably had meetings with the Supreme Leader during this period. I want to ask: in the first meeting you had with him after assuming this new responsibility and post, what was his most important request of you?

His main request was that, overall, we make every effort to ensure the country’s national interests are properly safeguarded and that security is maintained. This is a broad directive, encompassing domestic, regional, and international matters. His view is that this must be pursued with steadfastness, endurance, and resolve. His conduct reflects the same principle. Throughout this period of war, I never observed the slightest doubt in him regarding the path he follows.

Ques: Did you maintain contact with him during that period?

Yes, I did. His guidance consistently reached us. We also held meetings, submitted our opinions to him regularly, received feedback, and it was entirely evident. Now, even after the war, our communications have increased. He moves with great confidence, a behavior very similar to Imam Khomeini.

When Imam Khomeini was in Paris, the late Martyr Motahhari visited him and spent several days there. Upon returning, I, together with Ali Motahhari, went to the airport to receive him. On the way, we asked how he had seen the Imam. He replied that he saw him as a believer in the path, in the people, and in God, fully reliant on God. Later, in a book, he described four aspects of “belief” — believing in the goal, believing in the path, believing in the people, believing in God. In these matters, I observed the same state in Ayatollah Khamenei: his steps are taken with complete confidence, which is a hallmark of leaders who follow a divine path and are goal-oriented.

Que: Well, let’s move to another topic. As you briefly mentioned earlier, we were in the midst of negotiations when the enemy effectively bombarded the negotiating table. Certainly, our approach to diplomacy now differs from that prior to 23 Khordad. In your view, is diplomacy still possible under these circumstances, and if so, under what conditions?

My advice has always been that Iran should never abandon diplomacy, because diplomacy itself is a tool. The Supreme Leader has said that the flag of negotiation should always be in your hands; this is entirely correct. Diplomacy is inherently part of governance, and it makes no sense to abandon it. The key issue is when and how to use it.

If the enemy turns the diplomatic scene into a theater or a display, then nothing productive comes from that diplomacy. Or if the purpose of diplomacy is merely to justify some other action, then that is not genuine diplomacy and they do not intend to use it as such. But if diplomacy is used to avoid the costs of war, to seek peace, then that is genuine diplomacy. I do not see the current situation in this way; I feel that the diplomacy being practiced by them is primarily for creating pretexts. Nevertheless, this does not mean that we should cut off our diplomatic efforts.

When, and under what conditions, negotiations bear fruit depends on the other side understanding that war achieves nothing and genuinely seeking to resolve issues through diplomacy. If negotiations are used as a pretext for other operations, then that is not real negotiation. Therefore, our condition is that negotiations must be genuine. If the other side is committed to war, let them act, and when they regret it, they can come to negotiate. But if they truly realize that they cannot subdue this steadfast and resilient nation through war: all the absurd claims they make about needing to pressure Iran into submission, which the Supreme Leader has already addressed and which the enemy has now realized during this war, that “Iranians do not surrender” then the precondition for real negotiations is to understand this reality.

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: Dr. Larijani, what is the Islamic Republic’s outlook regarding the groups and the “Resistance Front” after the twelve-day war? You have traveled to Iraq and Lebanon. In Lebanon, heavy pressure is now being applied to Hezbollah to disarm something Israel could not achieve in direct military confrontation. On the other hand, in international media, there is an analysis claiming that the groups supported by the Islamic Republic as part of the “Resistance Front” are weakening.

If they are weakening, then why is so much pressure being applied? Normally, pressure is applied where there is strength; if they are weak, then they are weak. In my view, this is a strange argument. If we look at the media four or five years ago, before these events, there was no talk of weakening, right? But regarding resistance and Iran’s relationship with the resistance, they said: “Iran is making a mistake; these groups are nothing; they are just a cost to Iran. They are not significant.” The rhetoric was that these groups were not important and Iran was wasting resources on them. Now, they say the Resistance Front has weakened, but even when they believed it was strong, they said similar things in a different tone. If they are weak, let them be; why are they designing so many schemes against them?

In my opinion, over the past two years, these actors have caused immense hardship for the people of the region — killing, wounding, and creating hunger. But these are the crimes of a regime with no red lines; it does everything and the West has tolerated this savagery.

Then the question arises: if you claim to have destroyed Hamas, why are you afraid to take Gaza? You have killed and starved people but could not destroy Hamas. Why does it not collapse? It is in their hands — when you kill people, they have families and young people; you push them onto a path of resistance. When did Hezbollah emerge? It emerged when Israel fully occupied Beirut. Naturally, the local population is not willing to accept occupation, so young people said, “We must defend ourselves,” forming the core of Hezbollah. Now some say Iran created Hezbollah. No — the Lebanese people themselves created it. Yes, we helped, and we continue to help, but the essence of Hezbollah came from the Lebanese people. This was a strategic asset — a small country resisting Israel.

The same applies to Hamas. When you take over a country and tell the people, “You have no standing, give up your lands,” the people will resist. In Iraq, when the Americans occupied the country, resistance movements emerged; in Yemen, when the bombing began, resistance also emerged. Resistance arises because of their behavior, and the more pressure they apply, the deeper resistance becomes.

They claim they have struck; yes, they have hit Hezbollah, but the question is whether Hezbollah rebuilt itself or not. There were enough young mujahideen to reconstruct the organization. Zbigniew Brzezinski, former U.S. National Security Advisor, wrote that the Middle East faces a phenomenon of political awareness among youth and hatred toward the U.S. even citing examples from poets. This is reality. When the Americans pressure the region with the theory of “peace through force,” what does that mean? It means submission.

Who would accept such submission?

Netanyahu repeats the same logic, saying, “I will impose peace through power.” He tells countries like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, and Kuwait: either submit or fight. This creates tension. The current regional environment is one of alertness toward Israel. While some countries may not fully align with Iran, they see Iran as a barrier to Israel.

In my view, resistance is alive and active. It continues to grow and move forward.

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: Is the Islamic Republic’s policy after the twelve-day war the same as before supporting and strengthening the Resistance movement?

Look, there is no doubt that decisions must always be made in accordance with the circumstances. But the Islamic Republic has always supported the Resistance because it considers it an authentic movement and a strategic asset. Have they stopped opposing Israel? Has the U.S. stopped supporting Israel? No; they continue their support. If Iran does not utilize the capabilities it has which they claim are in support of Islam and Iran that would be a political misjudgment. Iran must make use of its own capacities. When the enemy employs all its resources, big and small, why shouldn’t we use ours?

I have seen people sometimes say, “The Resistance has done nothing for us!” In reality, they want to influence your mind, making you believe these groups are a burden or costly, and that you could achieve peace by abandoning them. Recently, I spoke with a world leader; now a member of the Security Council and I asked: “Why do you have these international regulations? When they attack us and you, as Security Council members, do nothing, what are these regulations for?” He replied, “These regulations are worthless; the international stage is about power.” That is the reality, if you do not protect your power, you will be harmed. It’s harsh, but it exists. Accept it or not, ignoring it will cause greater damage.

Therefore, you must strengthen your elements of power. Domestically, the people are essential: you must maintain their cohesion, provide for their needs, be close to them, speak to them respectfully, and understand their sentiments. Regionally, use your resources and alliances. Considering Hezbollah or Resistance forces a burden is a strategic mistake. In my view, they need our support, and we must also benefit from their help. Isolation does not serve Iran’s national security.

Que: During your trip to Lebanon, you also met with Sheikh Naim Qassem. Can you provide a less diplomatic, more general assessment of Hezbollah’s revival and reorganization?

I have spoken about this before. I saw Hezbollah’s forces and leadership very determined in their path. Both their leadership cadre and young members are resolute. At the welcoming ceremonies or at the shrine of Martyr Nasrallah, we saw the next generation they came voluntarily, not invited. Their spirit is strong; they feel injustice is being done and are committed to defending Lebanon. Some people say, “You must surrender!” But why surrender? To whom?

Our position has always been that they resolve their matters through national dialogue, and we maintain the same principle. We have never imposed anything on the Resistance. Yes, they are connected with Iran, because they are our brothers, but not as subordinates. Our approach is different from others: their strategy may be “submit to us or fight,” but our view is to respect their intellectual maturity. We believe not only must we be strong, but the region must be independent and strong: Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia; all must be strong. We do not seek dominance; we support fraternal cooperation and independent, capable governments.

We always support the Resistance, and the Islamic Republic’s strategy is to back it.

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: If you agree, let’s turn to the issue of nuclear energy. You have long and extensive experience with the nuclear dossier and dealing with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). What is your assessment of the IAEA’s performance in these recent incidents and during this war, and what is the Islamic Republic’s plan for dealing with this issue including interactions with the IAEA and possible legal follow-ups?

As far as I know, from the time of Mr. ElBaradei and the generation that followed him up to the current director, the IAEA has never been in the destructive situation it is today! ElBaradei exercised some rational judgment; although under Western influence, he still maintained a degree of international propriety.

The current director, however, has seemingly handed a blank check to Israel and the United States essentially fueling the conflict. It is humiliating because the safeguards regulations clearly state that the IAEA must defend NPT member states, immediately convene a Board of Governors meeting, and report to the Security Council. Yet he stood by, watching, and did not even issue a condemnation! Can such a person truly deserve to be the IAEA director?

ElBaradei acted very wisely. International pressure is always present, but he preserved, to some extent, the professional dignity of the agency. It was at least clear that technical assessments were being carried out. The current director, however, has entirely abandoned that responsibility and surrendered. During the last war, our nuclear sites were bombed, and the IAEA did not even issue a statement condemning it an absolutely disgraceful situation.

In my view, first, the agency itself needs to reconsider its role and authority. Countries are now questioning the IAEA’s significance. We are NPT members so what is the point of cooperating with the IAEA? I am not suggesting we leave the NPT, but this is a logical question for our people and for all countries.

(10/14):

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: Is leaving the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) one of the options for the Islamic Republic?

That possibility has always existed. I’m not saying anyone is taking that step right now, because it must be done with prudence, and we need to consider its implications. We are not seeking a bomb; if a country wanted a bomb, it shouldn’t join the NPT. But when you are not pursuing a bomb, the NPT should be accepted there is no reason not to. The reality, however, is that the NPT has had no real significance for us.

Look, whenever you act with power in these matters, your work progresses that’s how the international arena operates. If you think, for instance, that diplomacy alone can solve a problem through gestures, that is not the case. If you have strength, your work moves forward. Therefore, Iran must pursue power.

Que: How does this translate into our nuclear policy?

In our nuclear policy, it means never abandoning negotiations, but also never yielding in them. You must present rational solutions. I’m not saying one should never be flexible, but flexibility is appropriate only when the other side genuinely seeks a resolution. For instance, the Supreme Leader once spoke of “heroic flexibility” this is meant for situations where the other party intends to resolve the issue. If the other side demands submission, then you must stand firm.

Que: In the coming weeks, we face the “snapback” mechanism, which has been discussed for several months. In this context, Europeans play a major role and are using threats against Iran. How do you assess this mechanism and the Europeans’ actions?

The Europeans’ behavior is obvious; it needs no analysis. They are merely executing part of the U.S. strategy. But there is disagreement many countries, including Russia and China, have issued statements asserting that the snapback was intended for cases where a party violates the JCPOA. Who violated it? Our facilities were bombed so why are they using the snapback against us? From an international law perspective, this is deeply troubling.

Moreover, if you want to use the snapback, you cannot immediately go to the Security Council. First, you submit a request, then a technical committee reviews it, then a ministerial committee, and only after evaluation does it reach the Security Council. Yet they went straight to the Council.

Additionally, the U.S. has exited. Now there are six countries remaining Iran, Russia, China, and three European countries making it a 3–3 situation. How do you decide in such a case? With seven members, majority decisions make sense; now, it’s deadlocked. The proper approach would have been negotiation, but they want to enforce it through pressure via U.S. bombing and European threats which is fundamentally flawed.

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: You also have experience with strategic cooperation agreements with China. How are relations with China and Russia currently, and how are they progressing?

Overall, our relations with these two countries are good. We have excellent political and commercial ties, as well as military and security cooperation. Every country operates according to its own conditions and framework; we must recognize that we cannot expect every partner to act exactly as we wish.

When Western countries refuse to cooperate, what should we do? Those who say “don’t work with them” are suggesting we stand alone. Since the West is not cooperating, we engage with China and other countries. Given that these countries set high expectations, we have established strategic relations with them, and they have cooperated reasonably well. During the sanctions period, we worked with these countries and our neighbors. In international politics, solutions exist in numbers it’s not as if the West can pressure us and we automatically submit. Iran finds alternative paths.

I believe it was correct for Iran to leverage neighboring and other countries to mitigate sanctions. I’m not claiming sanctions were fully removed they still affect our economy but we should not remain idle under pressure. Therefore, the decisions taken by our country were, in my view, correct. Some countries may have cooperated less, others more.

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: In the past year before the war, and again toward the end of it, and now that some time has passed since the conflict, there have been recurring discussions about how well diplomacy and the field (i.e., military/action) are coordinated. Do they advance the same project, or is each pulling the rope in its own direction? What is your view on this?

These two areas are not separate; they are all elements of national power.

Que: Over the past year, the perception was that diplomacy wanted one thing, and the field wanted another for example, in dealing with Israel.

I want to emphasize that these are not two distinct matters. Countries pursuing national power always view all these aspects together, including the economy. Naturally, they balance them: for instance, “We take this step here because it is necessary for our national power; diplomacy should do this, the field should do that, the economy should do this, culture should do that.” A successful country defines its main action in terms of national power, and then translates it across these domains, coordinating the timing and manner of each step.

Que: So for us, have these elements been coordinated?

They have always been coordinated, and they are now. We have no problems in this regard; they move side by side. The main duty of the Supreme National Security Council is precisely to ensure that if something is necessary for national security, diplomacy, the field, and the economy all act accordingly. According to the Constitution, the Council is where the fields of economy, defense, and diplomacy converge; its members include all military, economic, foreign, and domestic policy actors.

Que: What is your assessment of the recent Armenia-Azerbaijan agreement in the U.S.? Could it pose a threat to us, and what measures might we take?

Broadly, this is part of a larger design not solely targeting Iran, linked to the strategic use of Central Asia and the Caucasus, where the U.S., NATO, and similar actors are involved applying pressure on Russia and on us. The key question is whether this could create a geopolitical choke for Iran. That depends on how we relate to the issue. The Secretary of the National Security Council of Armenia contacted me and explained they also coordinated with their Foreign Ministry and President. I’m not saying their actions were perfect, but their message was that they conducted a commercial activity and aim to facilitate the routes without blocking the North-South corridor. This needs to be formalized; a phone explanation is not sufficient. If formalized, it should not create a geopolitical choke for us; otherwise, it could.

Que: So this unfolding situation does not constitute an inherent threat to us?

Correct, not inherently, provided the proper steps are followed. Of course, some vigilance is always necessary; I’m not saying there is no risk.

Que: How does the Islamic Republic define “geopolitical choke” in this region, so that we know when to oppose it?

Geopolitical choke here would be if your route to Armenia were cut off. If access is denied, that constitutes a choke. But the explanations Armenia has given to Iran do not indicate such a situation. If a choke occurs, we must respond; so far, their explanations do not suggest that. The President’s upcoming visit should clarify matters further.

Que: Regarding relations with one neighboring country, and given the talk of their cooperation with Israel in military aggression against us, the public has questions. Could you explain?

If they did cooperate with Israel, it would certainly not have been expected by us.

—Dr. Larijani's Interview:

Que: So has the Islamic Republic now reached the conclusion that Azerbaijan cooperated with Israel during the twelve-day war?

So far, we have seen no evidence of this. Look, we must speak based on documentation. Some claims have been made, but they need to provide precise sources. We still have no evidence to put on the table. Moreover, note that Azerbaijan is a neighboring Muslim country, culturally very close to us, and a friend. Naturally, there may be some areas of disagreement, just as we have with other southern neighbors. In our friendships with countries, we take such factors into account. Friendship is not absolute; you can be friends in many areas while having disagreements in others. Even major powers like Russia and China, with whom we maintain relations, also have ties to Israel. But in this matter, we pursue our own interests. In today’s world, this plurality exists, and the perception we have toward the Zionist regime is not shared by many countries. Some countries, like Iraq and a few others, do share our perspective.

Que: My question was not about their attitude; it was whether they were the source of any anti-security actions against us.

This is always potentially possible, but so far it has not happened. The explanations provided by the Azerbaijani government do not indicate that they acted against us. At least in the Security Council, we have no strong evidence on this issue, and we believe that Azerbaijan, as a neighboring, Muslim, and friendly country, would not do such a thing. Based on our investigations, we have no evidence in this regard. If in the future something emerges, we will act differently, but for now, we have no basis to act on unsubstantiated claims.

Que: Dr. Lari­jani, regarding the previous discussion, it seems the snapback mechanism is being activated. If that happens, what will Iran’s response be?

This is currently under review domestically. As far as I know, some countries are attempting to negotiate to prevent its activation. Russia and China have also taken positions aimed at blocking it.

Que: If an extension is proposed, will Iran accept it?

There is disagreement on this. Our position is that we do not accept it. Some countries have suggested it, but Iran does not agree. It believes that this would create a precedent where they could come back repeatedly—first six months, then a year, etc. We had an agreement that was supposed to last ten years; it is not meant to be renegotiated repeatedly. Some inside the country suggested accepting a six-month extension, but overall, we do not agree.

Que: So the Security Council has not yet made a decision on this?

No. There are procedural steps in the Security Council that must be followed. As I mentioned, there is disagreement over how the snapback mechanism should be used, and major countries also differ in opinion. If it reaches the Security Council, that is where the discussion will happen, and a decision will be made on whether to activate it.

Que: If it does happen, what is the Islamic Republic’s plan? This seems like the worst-case scenario!

At that time, we will make the necessary arrangements. You are considering the worst case, but that moment has not arrived yet.

Que: Finally, if you feel there is a point that should be added, please share.

My view is that under current circumstances, our primary concern must be meeting the needs of the people; this is the most pressing issue. There are solutions, we must put in the effort. When people in the country face difficulties in meeting basic needs, it is more painful than anything else and must be addressed. Some problems, like electricity and gas supply, are solvable. Effort must be made so that our factories do not shut down, because if they do, national wealth declines. This should not happen in Iran now. The government is working through diplomatic channels to address these challenges and imbalances. This is the key area where collective effort is required. Most of the responsibility lies with the government and parliament; the National Security apparatus also plays a role, but we are concerned because this affects the resilience of the people.

| Erdogan’s treacherous wife has written a letter to Trump’s wife, asking for an end to the siege of Gaza. This much is enough for the third-grade fools around the world to celebrate it as a brave step. But it is nothing more than fraud and Turkish propaganda. Their propaganda cells know the psychology of the dua-whispering Muslim crowds who drool over such theatrics. Meanwhile, this same woman’s own son runs one of the biggest trade mafias supplying Israel with goods, arms, and vital demands. They are masters of drama, and their art of deception makes some treat them as messiahs of the Muslim world. This criminal lady might as well directly connect with her best friend Sara Netanyahu instead of playing this cheap drama.

| Many may feel that we are holding a one-sided grudge against fraud wife of Erdogan, but if she had merely done these symbolic gestures and was not openly complicit with Israel, we would have no issue. She could be considered like many non-Muslims or apolitical figures who also speak for the cause.

But this criminal lady has remained partisan while her son Burak and her disgraced husband were actively and disgustingly involved during the first year of Tufan al-Aqsa. It was Turkey that laid the pillars for Israel’s survival, ensuring it would not collapse.

The network of profiteers of Erdogan's gang is well documented:

Mert Çetinkaya, owner of Manta Denizcilik, which transports war materials to Israel (partnered with Burak Erdoğan: her son)
Salih Zeki Çakır, owner of Oras Denizcilik, which transports materials to Israel (partnered with Erkam Yıldırım and AK Party MP Vehbi Koç)
İbrahim Güler, owner of Hatay Ro-Ro ship, which transports materials to Israel; AK Party parliamentary candidate and former provincial chairman
Mehmet Çınar, mayor of Malatya Yeşilyurt and owner of Osmanoğulları Gazbeton, which supplies materials to Israel
Bilal Nadir Gök, AK Party parliamentary candidate and MÜSİAD executive, who buys waste from Israel and dumps it into the environment in Adana
Mustafa Semerci, founding executive of BBP and owner of Pamukkale Kablo, which supplies cables to Israel
Zorlu Holding, Israel’s electricity supplier
MNG Holding, which makes daily shipments to Israel by plane
Limak Holding, which sends ships to Israel from its port every day
Kolin Holding, which maintains the tanker carrying fuel to Israel’s warplanes
İçdaş, a MÜSİAD member, which regularly sends steel and raw materials to Israel
Akçansa Sabancı Holding, which regularly sends cement to Israel
Arkas Holding, which makes regular shipments to Israel
Nurbaki Şahin, Saadet Party Erdemli district chairman, who exports tomatoes to Israel.

🇮🇶 | Representative of Imam Khamenei (H); Ayatullah Hosseini (H) in Iraq: The Dream of Disbanding the Popular Mobilization Forces Is Unattainable:

The U.S. claims against Iraq regarding the disarmament or dissolution of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF/Ḥashd al-Shaʿbī) are nothing but unattainable wishes. Everyone knows that America wants to repeat in Iraq the same disaster it brought upon Syria, but the circumstances for such a plan simply do not exist. The Iraqi people will never accept such a thing. The PMF’s members are resistant, loyal, and well-trained forces who also possess sufficient military capabilities.

🟧 | Statement of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on the Occasion of Government Week:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

On the occasion of Government Week, we sincerely congratulate and extend our greetings to all officials and servants of the state who are devoted to the dignity, honor, and progress of dear Iran, and who are committed to advancing the lofty and civilizational goals of the Islamic Revolution.

Government Week provides a valuable opportunity to revisit and articulate the model of faithful, tireless, and sincere service, which the great martyrs Mohammad Ali Rajai, Mohammad Javad Bahonar, and Sayyid Ibrahim Raisi, through their sacrifice and devotion, left as a lasting legacy. These days symbolize loyalty to the high ideals of the Islamic Revolution, and the bond between serving the people, adhering to divine values, and defending independence and national honor.

Today, at a time when the region and the world are faced with complex developments and multilayered confrontations, Islamic Iran, relying on the faith, insight, and resistance of its people and under the wise guidance of the Supreme Leader (may his shadow be prolonged), continues its path of progress and dignity with strength.

The efforts of the 14th Government in addressing national needs and in supporting the armed forces, especially during the recent 12-day Sacred Defense against the Zionist regime and the United States, deserve recognition. This episode is a clear example of the synergy between the government and the armed forces in defending Iran and the Resistance Front.

The IRGC, in continuation of its historic and divine mission, pursues the strategy of “supporting the government” and “participating in national construction and advancement” as a fundamental principle. Over four decades, the IRGC’s role in major projects from infrastructure development to poverty alleviation has been decisive in advancing the Revolution’s goals and improving people’s welfare. This mission will continue under the 14th Government with even greater determination.

It must be emphasized that the IRGC prioritizes the preservation and strengthening of defensive and security capabilities. Alongside its full readiness to safeguard the Revolution, territorial integrity, and national interests, the IRGC contributes actively to construction and sustainable development, bringing tangible benefits to the Iranian people, particularly the underprivileged, despite enemy media distortions.

The IRGC firmly believes that the deep bond between government, nation, and armed forces is the guarantee of a strong and advanced Iran. We stand alongside the government and people with all our capabilities, trusting in God and following the leadership of Imam Khamenei, envisioning a bright and dignified future for the Islamic Republic.

By honoring the martyrs of service and the martyrs of the 12-day Sacred Defense, we pray for the continued success and honor of all committed statesmen, especially the honorable and tireless President, and the servants of the nation across all executive institutions.
