#Islamic_Republic Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Support: – The necessary measures have been taken to address the possibility of the United States using the GBU-43 bomb, known as the “Mother of All Bombs,” against Iran, and we are continuing our work with complete confidence. – The US president should consider how to get his forces out of our region safely. If he drops a single bomb, he should see how many of his soldiers he will have to evacuate from the region on the shoulders of others. – This has so far led the United States to refrain from taking such a step. However, if it moves from threats to action, the circumstances will be different. #Military_Media

#Islamic_Republic Minister of Defense and Armed Forces Support: – If the US-Zionist enemy makes another miscalculation, the response of the Iranian people and Islamic fighters will be surprising and widespread, and the US government and its allies will bear the regional and international consequences. – Under the current circumstances, outsourcing for the Ministry of Defense is not an option but an unavoidable necessity to fulfill its commitments. – Defense products classified as “secret” and above will be manufactured within the Ministry of Defense’s secure facilities, while the production of items classified as “top secret” and below will be carried out within the country’s industrial network. – If there had been any doctrinal, behavioral, or security weaknesses in my record, I would not have been nominated before the Islamic Consultative Assembly. – I have been on the enemy’s assassination lists for 35 years, and strengthening the Resistance Front more than ever will be one of the main pillars of my program. – Research is even more important to me than production. – Reforming the structure of the Ministry of Defense and aligning it with current circumstances and existing threats is among Akhlaghi’s plans, provided that this structure receives the approval of the General Staff of the Armed Forces. #Military_Media

#Islamic_Republic Iranian television: The Iranian Parliament has approved Mehrdad Akhlaghi to become Iran’s Minister of Defense. #Military_Media

#Islamic_Republic Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Mohsen Rezaei: – The repeated statements and threats issued by US and “Israeli” officials in recent days will not change the reality on the ground. – The Iranian Armed Forces have prepared, for any new adventure, a plan more destructive than the 12-Day War and the 40-Day War. – The new Iranian operational plan will not follow the rules known to the other side. #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media “Israeli” media: Today, the final meeting of the 37th "Israeli" government will once again be held in a secured complex rather than at the Prime Minister’s Office, three years into the war. The more interesting question is: Does this mean that the Prime Minister will now avoid public events open to the public, including those scheduled in advance? And if he does not, is he actually putting others at risk simply by attending? #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media Yedioth Ahronoth Hebrew newspaper – Ron Ben-Yishai: Tel Aviv is in no hurry to supply Riyadh with these systems and may make their provision conditional on Saudi concessions. #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media Yedioth Ahronoth Hebrew newspaper – Ron Ben-Yishai: “Israel” provides Saudi Arabia with intelligence on targets in Yemen through the US Central Command. However, Saudi Arabia needs air defense systems, including detection radars and “Iron Dome,” “David’s Sling,” and “Arrow 2” batteries, to counter ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and Houthi drones. #Military_Media

Statement issued by Hezbollah’s Media Relations Department: To clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident that took place in the Gallery Semaan area, and the misleading news and information circulated by some media outlets, Hezbollah’s Media Relations Department wishes to clarify that what happened stemmed from a raid carried out by a security forces patrol in an area of security sensitivity, without following the agreed-upon procedure between Hezbollah and the security authorities. This procedure takes into account the security sensitivity of Beirut’s southern suburb, amid the ongoing “Israeli” security threats and risks, and the precautions they necessitate, which both parties understand and are committed to addressing responsibly. After the necessary communications were made with the relevant authorities and legal references, and the circumstances were clarified, the patrol proceeded with its work normally and calmly, implementing the judicial warrant issued by the Public Prosecutor at the Court of Cassation, based on a referral from the Minister of Public Health, Rakan Nasreddine. By the time the Lebanese army arrived, matters had returned to normal. Hezbollah’s Media Relations Department affirms that the party has absolutely no connection whatsoever to the aforementioned warehouse or its contents. The party is committed to protecting citizens’ health and safety and supporting the measures taken by the Ministry of Public Health, just as it is committed to ensuring that the security forces carry out their duties and perform their normal role. #Military_Media

#Occupied_Palestine In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful Statement issued by the Resistance Committees in Palestine on the second anniversary of the martyrdom of the great Islamic and jihadist leader, Yahya Al-Sinwar, Abu Ibrahim: We recall with pride and honor the second anniversary of the martyrdom of the great Islamic and jihadist leader Yahya Al-Sinwar, “Abu Ibrahim,” Head of the Political Bureau of the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas, and one of the most prominent Palestinian leaders whose names became associated with the path of Resistance and the one who ignited the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood. He attained martyrdom steadfast in his positions and clinging to his convictions until the final moments of his life, leaving behind a record rich in stances that will remain present in the Palestinian conscience. The martyred leader Yahya Al-Sinwar embodied the model of a leader who lived for his people and their cause, carried the concerns of his homeland, and remained at the heart of the confrontation, believing in our people’s right to freedom, dignity, and self-determination. His journey was not merely a passing episode in our people’s history; rather, it expressed a firm national will that rejects submission and humiliation and clings to rights and principles regardless of the sacrifices involved. His martyrdom remains a prominent milestone in the path of Palestinian jihad and Resistance, and a page of pride and honor in the history of our people and our Ummah. As the Resistance Committees in Palestine recall the heroism and steadfastness of the martyred leader, they affirm that Abu Ibrahim defeated the “Zionist” enemy in every confrontation he experienced: during his imprisonment, upon regaining his freedom in the Wafa Al-Ahrar prisoner exchange deal, in the Battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, and in confronting the enemy at the moment of his martyrdom—with an unbroken will and an unwavering position. His martyrdom was not the end of a leader’s journey, but the beginning of a new phase and a defining milestone that will remain present in our people’s memory, bearing witness that assassination cannot erase convictions and that force cannot wrest away the will of a people steadfastly committed to their rights. We renew our pledge to the great leader Abu Ibrahim Al-Sinwar and to all the martyrs of our people that their sacrifices will remain alive in our conscience, and that our people’s inalienable national rights will remain our compass until the entity of crime, genocide, and ethnic cleansing—the fascist “Zionist” enemy entity—is eliminated. May Allah have mercy on the martyred leader Yahya Al-Sinwar, make his memory a symbol of steadfastness and loyalty, and preserve our people’s dignity, will, and right to freedom. #Military_Media

#Occupied_Palestine Hamas: Today marks the second anniversary of the martyrdom of the icon of the Palestinian Revolution, former Head of Hamas’s Political Bureau, and commander of the Al-Aqsa Flood Battle, the great martyred leader Yahya Al-Sinwar, “Abu Ibrahim.” Commander Abu Ibrahim attained martyrdom as a resistance fighter engaged in combat, in an inspiring revolutionary scene on the path to freedom, after inaugurating a new phase of confrontation and engagement with the criminal occupation. Its repercussions continue to unfold across the region, shaping a new landscape written in the blood of its people in favor of peoples striving for freedom and independence. Hamas Official Website

#Enemy_Media Yedioth Ahronoth Hebrew newspaper – Yossi Yehoshua: Even the mere assumption that a limited operation could be launched, its objectives achieved, and a rapid return to normality secured requires caution. “Israel” can decide how to begin the campaign, but it cannot unilaterally determine Iran’s response or when the fighting will end. #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media Yedioth Ahronoth Hebrew newspaper – Yossi Yehoshua: There is currently no target in Iran that can be struck quickly and clearly enough to fundamentally change the strategic reality and grant Netanyahu a significant achievement before the elections. Of course, the most important factor is that there is no imminent threat that cannot be postponed for two weeks. #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media “Israeli” media: From “Israel’s” perspective, the threat is not measured solely by the number of missiles Hezbollah has remaining in its arsenal. Advanced explosive-laden drones, small units operating in the field, and decentralized combat formations may pose serious challenges to the “Israeli” army, even after strikes have been carried out against the organization’s command centers and critical infrastructure. #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media "Israel Hayom" Hebrew newspaper – Yoav Limor: In an attempt to demonstrate the seriousness of the threat posed by loitering drones, the Shin Bet (General Security Service) conducted an exercise attended by the political and security leadership. A loitering drone was directed toward an extremely important target that had been considered protected. All relevant systems were activated to intercept it, but the drone successfully reached its destination. The message was fully understood, but, as is the case with government systems, it took some time before it became a tangible reality on the ground. This, incidentally, is also why Shin Bet chief David Zini met with Gadi Eisenkot and Naftali Bennett about two months ago: he wanted to demonstrate the threat and its immediate implications to them and seek their support for the decisions that would be required in the near future, whether they were members of the coalition or the opposition. #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media Maariv Hebrew newspaper: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu believes that launching a military campaign against Iran during the two weeks remaining before the elections could harm the Likud party’s chances of remaining in power. This was reportedly stated by Netanyahu, according to informed sources, during closed-door discussions in a limited forum. #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media “Israeli” enemy army radio: Of the three intelligence-gathering devices launched by Hezbollah, interception attempts failed in two cases, while the Air Force successfully intercepted one. In all these incidents, the “Israeli” army announced that interceptor missiles had been launched at “suspicious targets,” as the interceptor missiles were clearly visible in the northern skies. However, in none of the cases did the “Israeli” army subsequently issue an update clarifying that the objects were aerial devices belonging to the enemy. #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media “Israeli” enemy army radio: In recent weeks, and in at least five separate incidents, the Air Force has launched interceptor missiles at “suspicious targets” detected in southern Lebanon. As reported by our outlets this morning, three of these cases turned out to involve aerial objects launched by Hezbollah, one involved an object belonging to the “Israeli” army that was mistakenly identified as suspicious, and in one case it was impossible to determine the object’s identity with certainty. #Military_Media

#Enemy_Media “Israeli” enemy army radio: Against the backdrop of the “unidentified flying object” incident at the Lebanese border, at least three Hezbollah drones and intelligence-gathering devices have been launched toward the security zone in southern Lebanon over the past two weeks. #Military_Media
