The recent sequence of carefully publicized meetings increasingly appears to be designed to communicate a single message: Mojtaba Khamenei is alive.

Iran issues written statements in the name of Mojtaba, without images or recordings.

While Iran projects a united front, a dangerous power struggle is brewing beneath the surface, with the IRGC increasingly calling the shots as Khamenei remains sidelined.

The idea that Iran's beleaguered people will suddenly, somehow, with no weapons whatsoever, magically rise up and take back their country from a regime armed to the teeth and with a rich record of mass murder is beyond delusional.

'The IDF will hunt you down one by one,' Katz warned.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Wednesday that the U.S. military’s 'Operation Epic Fury' against Iran was ahead of the four-to-six-week timeline Washington had set for the war.

Instead of foregrounding Larijani’s role within a regime accused of violently suppressing protests, coverage leaned into biography. Scholar. Pragmatist. A man of ideas.

Larijani helped direct Iran’s regional strategy, including the use of proxies to attack Israel, the relentless pursuit of nuclear weapons, and the rejection of diplomatic efforts that would have halted that program.

The Israeli Air Force destroyed an IRGC drone facility and then pursued the operatives, eliminating all of them in precision strikes.

'If for any reason mines were placed and they are not removed forthwith, the military consequences to Iran will be at a level never seen before,' Trump wrote.

Iranian regime forces struck while preparing missile launchers aimed at Israel.

Araghchi accused Europe of 'blatant hypocrisy' for taking 'zero action in response to Israel’s genocide in Gaza' while rushing to invoke human rights in Iran.

The 27-nation bloc is also expected to approve visa bans and asset freezes on 21 state entities and Iranian officials, including Iran’s Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.

This says a great deal about the gap between words and actions among certain European leaders.

The designation makes it a serious crime to recruit for, train with, fund, or otherwise support the IRGC.

The Iranian military leader was then instructed to film and publish a video of himself publicly disavowing the country’s hardline regime.

'All the Iranian missiles and UAVs were intercepted before they reached our border.'

Talks for a nuclear deal between the U.S. and Iran are ongoing, with the next round of discussions slated to begin in Oman next week.

The gathering of faith-based lawmakers who lead the Israel caucuses in their respective parliaments also urged European governments to permanently defund UNRWA.

The consulate's role in supporting Tehran's terrorist activities dates back to the early 1980s.

Another terror leader bites the dust.

Iran has responded by scaling back its forces in Syria to avoid airstrikes.

'Iran… reserves its right to respond to the organized terrorism of the fake Zionist regime at the appropriate time and place.'

The assassination tells Iran that Israel's patience is running thin.

Iranian hit men who planned to knock off an Israeli businessman in Eastern Europe were exposed by a hacking group, which disclosed the information to a news outlet.

While Iran's president vowed revenge three years after Qassem Soleimani's death, the regime suffered another loss when a senior IRGC officer was gunned down at his home.

Brig.-Gen. Esmayeel Qaani of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force predicted that the Palestinians would soon evict Israelis from their homeland.

'The Quran instructs us..., 'do not take the Jews and the Christians as your allies,' said Revolutionary Guards head Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami.

The U.K. intelligence agency last week said it had identified at least 10 potential Iranian threats to kill or kidnap British and UK-based individuals since January.

The officer, identified by an Israeli research organization as Col. Daoud Jaafari, was killed by a roadside bomb; Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps vows to retaliate.

The video also shows a hanger full of attack drones, and it ends with a caption, 'It is only our will that keeps us from firing.'

Iranian militias along the Syria-Iraq border went on high alert for fear of Israeli strikes.
