Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the end is alive. A living legend.🇮🇷

It is the local population that has expressed dissatisfaction and resentment at their powerlessness to resist the occupation; in fact, several tribal members also announced in early July that they were joining the anti-Zionist movement “Harakat Radd al-Ihtilal” (Deterrence of Occupation), which advocates armed struggle to oppose the Israeli occupation and reclaim the occupied territory. The group, founded in late February 2026, is predominantly Sunni and has been gaining influence due to the passivity shown by the Damascus authorities in the face of Israeli operations in recent months. Furthermore, there is collaboration between this movement and the IRFS, which has members from various religious sects. 🇮🇱🇸🇾

Israel formalizes the new colonization of Syrian lands, while resistance continues to grow in the south. 🇮🇱🇸🇾 In early July, Israel approved a settlement project in the occupied territory of 2024 in Syria. In response, the first settlers have begun entering this territory amid the inaction of the Syrian Transitional Government, which has offered no opposition to these events.

First: Achievements on the ground and popular collaboration: The achievements and successes on the ground in the villages of the southern sector would not have been possible without the grace of God and the great bravery of the popular resistance of the region’s courageous residents, who formed the fundamental base and collaborated on the ground with the mujahideen of Oulay al-Baas. Second: Geographical and Operational Distribution: The efforts of our men were distributed in a steady and courageous manner; while a number of righteous martyrs fell on one specific front, the pure blood of our brave wounded wrote the epic of resistance on a different front, representing—through their geographic diversity, stretching from the regions of Daraa and the Damascus countryside to the western Homs countryside—a unique tapestry in the trenches of the actual confrontation. Third: Rebuttal of the numerical claims: Our sources have detected that some unknown and unidentified accounts, along with other parties who rushed to issue hasty statements of endorsement, are attempting to fabricate fictitious and inaccurate claims immediately following the release of our statement; in doing so, they misinterpreted data from the field and appropriated names and photos, attributing to them the status of martyrs who were killed during an attack in our sister country, southern Lebanon, and attributed them to a single front and a narrow area in southern Syria, in a context that does not reflect the geography of the event or the reality of the operations. Fourth: Information Restrictions and Field Considerations: The postponement of the release of visual footage and documents regarding recent events in the southern sector in general is a prudent procedure dictated primarily by strict operational and security requirements, along with our utmost concern for the safety and protection of our people and the families of the wounded and martyrs. The Front confirms at the end of its statement that it springs from the heart of this land, and its mujahideen are sons of Syria, sons of the south, and faithful sons of the land from all sectors and segments of Syrian society, united by a single cause and a purely Syrian national agenda, whose goal is to defend and protect the homeland’s soil. Press Office of the Islamic Resistance Front in Syria - Oulay al-Baas Friday, 18 Muharram 1448 AH / Corresponding to July 3, 2026 AD

Explanatory Statement from the Press Office of the Islamic Resistance Front in Syria - Oulay al-Baas In order to ensure the credibility of our fieldwork and honor the sacrifices of our heroes, the Press Office of the Islamic Resistance Front in Syria - Oulay al-Baas wishes to inform our supporters about the situation on the ground. In this context, we wish to clarify and document the following points:

The celebrations continued on July 5 with new mass rallies attended by millions of people. Leading the event were Iran’s top government officials, projecting an image of unity and resistance in the face of the decapitation operation led by the U.S. and Israel.🇮🇷

On July 4, the streets of Iran were filled with millions of people watching the funeral ceremony for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei—either live or recorded—a crowd that was every bit as impressive as the Independence Day celebrations taking place in the U.S. The funeral ceremonies represent a clear show of strength by the Iranian people, who have become even more united after months of continuous aggression by the U.S. and Israel. A picture is worth a thousand words: the operation to overthrow the Iranian political regime and destroy the country has failed.🇮🇷

Meanwhile, tribes allied with Sana’a have responded with a general mobilization to counter what could become a serious military offensive by the Aden government—the first such offensive since 2022.

This comes at the same time that tribes from Jawf, Marib, and Hadramaut announced a significant mobilization of their forces toward the northern front against Ansarallah, leading to sporadic clashes along the front.

Yemen is preparing for the resumption of the war. 🇾🇪 Since the April 2, 2022, ceasefire between Ansarallah and Saudi Arabia/the UAE, Yemen has been in a state of low-intensity conflict, even after the official end of the ceasefire in October of that year. Over the next four years, the conflict centered on the Saudi Arabia/UAE sphere of influence, with a struggle between the two nations waged through their proxies, which ultimately resulted in Riyadh’s victory over Abu Dhabi in January 2026. With the Saudis as the sole influential power and following the outbreak of the regional war between the U.S./Israel and Iran, Riyadh has resumed its provocations against Sanaa, seeing this as an opportune moment to tip the balance of the Yemeni situation in its favor. On July 3, Ansarallah had to respond to a violation of its airspace by the Saudi Air Force, warning that any violation of Yemeni territory would be met with a forceful response.

On 3 July, the funeral ceremony for the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei began in Iran, set to last for six days. The scale of the funeral was evident from the very first day, when 32 delegations from various countries, as well as delegations representing regional and allied groups, arrived on Iranian soil. Countries from different regions, religions and cultures came together to pay their respects to a historic figure such as the Supreme Leader, but also to reinforce the idea that Iran was not alone on the international stage; rather, it had a greater presence than previously thought, having consolidated its victory over the US in the regional conflict, the definitive outcome of which remains in doubt for the time being. 🇮🇷

Despite logistical problems on the ground, the FAMa/Afrika Corps continue to provide military and humanitarian support to the besieged troops through the air and have inflicted significant losses on JNIM/FLA militants over the last four days since the fighting began. Numerous terrorist attacks were also repelled in Aguelhok, where the besieged troops reinforced their defences around the town, which remains under full government control. 🇷🇺🇲🇱🏳️ Map: [ https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=19IxdgUFhNYyUIXEkYmQgmaYHz6OTMEk&ll=19.460265358750682%2C0.8575680667733199&z=14 ]

The convoy reached Anefis, albeit with heavy losses following an ambush by JNIM/FLA (possibly with French intelligence support) near Tabankort. 🇷🇺🇲🇱🏳️

A new battle for Anefis has begun. 🇷🇺🇲🇱 🏳️ On Saturday 4 July, the JNIM/FLA coalition launched a series of attacks against the FAMa/Afrika Corps troops besieged in Anefis. The attack was repelled, with heavy losses among the militants. Fighting continued on 5 July, with government and Russian reinforcements advancing northwards from Gao.

On 6 June, the FAM and the Afrika Corps carried out further patrols east of Douentza, entering localities such as Pétaka, where they received a warm welcome from the inhabitants following the defeat of the terrorists in the area. The decline in JNIM’s strength over the past month has enabled supply operations to government bases in Boni, where the ‘siege’ is now in doubt following months of operations against the militants. 🇲🇱🇷🇺 Map: [ https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=19IxdgUFhNYyUIXEkYmQgmaYHz6OTMEk&ll=15.076344194635494%2C-2.6214447258473728&z=10 ]

BTW take a look to the next update of Kupiansk. The methodical work carried out by the Russians in this area over the last three months is bearing fruit, without any haste or pressure from military-political figures seeking easy medals through virtual victories.

There are pro-Ukrainian or pro-Russian fanatics (like the man with the nickname Olga) who think I get depressed when I share a development that favors the “opposing” side, when in reality I love watching these idiots crying every time their simplistic narrative crumbles in the face of reality with every new publication.

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 1585-1591: 🇺🇦🇷🇺 Situation on Huliaipole & Orikhiv fronts: During the last week, Ukrainian army has made slight advances south of Kosivtseve. Meanwhile, Russian army has regained the initiative and stepped up its attacks on Vozdvyzhivka and Verkhnya Tersa, reaching the outskirts of Lisne, Rivne and Kopani. Russian forces also advanced west of Staroukrainka, re-entering Hirke, and began clearing out Ukrainian forces west of Zaliznychne. In Novoselivka and Huliaipilske, Ukrainian forces are working to drive out Russian forces whilst heavy shelling is taking place to the north of both towns. Furthermore, over the past three weeks, Russian troops have made further advances north of Luhivske and south of Charivne.

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 1585-1591: 🇺🇦🇷🇺 Situation on Pokrovskaya & Novomykolaivka fronts: During the last week, Russian army has continued to expand the Kill Zone south of the Vovcha River, advancing into Oleksandrivka. As with Bohodarivka, Pysantsi & Novoskelyuvate, Russian incursions did not result in the capture and consolidation of these localities, but they highlight a difficult situation for Ukrainian army, which does not have firm control of the area either. The porous nature of the front line makes it difficult to establish a clear dividing line, whilst small Ukrainian & Russian units continue to infiltrate several kilometres into enemy positions. Meanwhile, the situation in Radisne, which is also in a grey zone, with no clear control, was clarified.

Ukrainian-Russian war. Day 1585-1591: 🇺🇦🇷🇺 Situation on Velikomikhailovskaya, Komarskaya fronts: The no-man’s-land between Vovcha and Mokri Yaly. Fighting between the Ukrainian and Russian armies continued during the last week at various positions, supported by a large number of drones and artillery fire. The fighting in Iskra, Yanvarske, Voskresenka, Tolstoi and Piddubne suggests a fluid and diffuse front line (similar to that in the Pokrovskaya sector), with the fighting approaching Komark.
