    Simultaneously with the report from Fars News Agency stating that the U.S. drone attacks on Lark Island were conducted "from Jordan with the support of this country's bases," the public relations office of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced early Tuesday in a statement: "In response to the attack on Lark Island, the Aerospace Force targeted the technical, repair, and fighter jet deployment infrastructures at the King Hussein and Al-Azraq air bases in Jordan with ballistic missile strikes in a combined missile-drone operation." The statement continued: "Military actions will not weaken control over the Strait of Hormuz, and any firing will be met with reciprocal responses."

    Fox News reported, citing an American source, that following the U.S. attacks on missile launchers in Lark Island, the IRGC targeted American positions in Jordan with missile strikes.
    According to this informed source, no significant damage has been reported so far, and the defense systems have managed to intercept and destroy almost all the fired missiles before they hit their targets.
    Previously, the IRGC announced in a statement that it had targeted the two air bases "King Hussein" and "Al-Azraq" in Jordan.

    Missile launch from Khorramabad

    During the past hour, I was receiving various scattered messages. But at this moment, suddenly a lot of messages came from Khorramabad about two sounds that many wrote were related to a missile launch, but some emphasize that they sounded more like impact explosions or launch failures. At the same time, I am receiving similar messages from Kanganvar in Kermanshah.

    Public Relations of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:
    🔹 The American-Zionist enemy, once again based on its desperation in solving internal problems and its diminishing credibility among regional countries, is seeking to revive its nefarious role and justify public opinion. In a provocative act, it attacked Lark Island, resulting in the martyrdom and injury of several of our warriors and compatriots.

    🔹 This action will be responded to by the children of Islamic Iran and will lead to the punishment of the aggressor.

    The Washington Post reported, citing informed sources, that several senior U.S. military officials have warned Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that continuing extensive military operations against the Islamic Republic is unsustainable and undermines the U.S. military's ability to address other threats, including defending U.S. territory.

    According to these individuals, these warnings, presented to Hegseth in the August 14 version of the "Defense Secretary's Orders Book" by the heads of the Army, Navy, and Air Force, along with four-star commanders responsible for U.S. military operations in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, are part of a classified document.

    The report states that given Trump's emphasis that military options remain on the table, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), which is responsible for managing the war with the Islamic Republic, has kept over 50,000 troops on standby for months to act if the President issues orders for further attacks.

    According to informed sources, the August 14 version of the Defense Secretary's Orders Book stipulates that part of the forces stationed in the Middle East will remain in the region until the end of September, and the mission of some others will be extended until 2027. The possibility of further extensions of these deployments has led military commanders to express their concerns openly.

    These sources indicate that senior commanders of U.S. European Command, Pacific Command, and Southern Command, along with the senior naval commander, have recorded a "disagreement" in this document; meaning they do not agree with the Defense Secretary's order to extend their deployments, but they will carry it out.

    The first branch of the Revolutionary Court in Isfahan has sentenced 10 defendants in the case known as "Isfahan Martyrs' Square" to death. Six other defendants in this case have received heavy prison sentences.

    The Telegram channel of the newsletters reported that these sentences have been issued at the primary stage: @MahmoudianMehdi

    The 10 defendants who received death sentences are "Taraneh Rahimi," "Navid Elyasi," "Abdolfazl Dadgostar," "Mehdi Mansouri," "Ahmadreza Saidi," "Mehrdad Boueri," "Mohammad Mehdi Asadi," "Armin Gholami," "Parsa Jafari," and "Mehdi Jafari," known as "Mehdi Khosravi."
    In another part of the ruling, "Romina Rahimi" and "Milad Boueri" have each been sentenced to 25 years in prison, and "Hamed Mehralian" has been sentenced to 15 years in prison. "Setayesh Saeedi," "Sajjad Abadi," and "Ali Boueri" have each been sentenced to five years in prison.

    The court has also sentenced all 16 defendants to five years for the charge of "conspiracy and collusion," five years for "incitement," and one year for "propaganda against the regime."

    The "Isfahan Martyrs' Square" case was formed in connection with the protests of December 2024. The defendants in this case were detained in their homes from February 3 to March 14 of the same year. Some of them are employees of shoe and clothing stores in the vicinity of Shohada Street or relatives of the owners of these stores.

    Most of the defendants in this case are under 23 years old. Taraneh and Romina Rahimi, twin sisters, were 19 years old at the time of their arrest.

    The hearings for the charges against these individuals began on July 13, 2026, in the first branch of the Revolutionary Court in Isfahan. Their charges have been stated as "moharebeh" (waging war against God), "aiding in moharebeh," "destruction of public property equivalent to moharebeh," "conspiracy and collusion," and "propaganda against the regime."

    This case was formed after the killing of "Abbas Kamrani," a member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and a homeless citizen during the protests on January 7. However, in the indictment issued against the defendants, the charge of murder has not been raised.

    Informed sources had previously stated that no evidence proving the defendants' involvement in the deaths of these two individuals was presented in court sessions, and the confessions obtained during interrogation were the basis for the charges.

    Some defendants have stated in court that their confessions were obtained through beatings, the use of a taser, and threats of sexual assault. "Ahmadreza Saidi" also stated in the presence of judges that he was tortured during interrogation.

    According to published information, one of the women defendants in this case has also reported sexual assault during her detention and has filed a complaint. However, the court issued its ruling without addressing this complaint.

    The defendants' lawyers have also been deprived of full access to the case file. Reports indicate that the court did not allow each defendant to have the legally required number of defense attorneys.

    "Mohammadreza Tavakoli" and "Morteza Barati," the judges in this case, have previously issued death sentences in political and security cases in Isfahan. Tavakoli has been a judge in the "Ali Khani" and "Tomaaj Salehi" cases, and Barati had issued death sentences for three protesters in the "Isfahan House" case.

    Duolingo announced that its language test is not available in Iran for holders of Iranian identity documents. At the same time, reports have emerged about the cancellation of the TOEFL test and the lack of new dates for its administration in Iran.

    These developments come just days after the suspension of one of the U.S. sanctions exemptions regarding educational services to Iranians.

    The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the U.S. Department of the Treasury suspended the general license known as "G" on August 24, which had allowed certain academic exchanges and the provision of educational services to Iranians since 2014, indefinitely.

    Duolingo, the American company that created the language learning app, which is accepted by many universities for its online English test, has now announced on its official support page that this test is not available in Iran for individuals using Iranian identity documents.

    At the same time, several Iranian users on social media have shared images that they claim are related to messages about the cancellation of the TOEFL test and the absence of a center or test dates in the ETS registration system (the organization that administers the TOEFL test). Radio Farda cannot independently verify the authenticity and origin of these images.

    Some candidates have also stated that TOEFL tests were being held in Iran until recently, but after OFAC's new decision, cancellation messages have been sent to some applicants.

    As of the publication of this report, the organization administering the TOEFL test has not issued an official announcement regarding the suspension of this test in Iran. On the organization's website, Iran is still listed among the countries where the internet-based TOEFL test is offered, and contact information specifically for Iranian applicants is also visible.

    Therefore, it is still unclear what the reported limitations entail and whether they are directly due to OFAC's decision or not.

    The general license G, issued by OFAC in March 2014, allowed reputable American universities to have academic exchange programs with Iranian universities and to provide certain educational services to Iranian students.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced on Truth Social that the U.S. has reached an agreement with Venezuela, which he called "the largest oil deal in world history."

    Trump stated that under this agreement, with the participation of the private sector, the U.S. will gain control over the majority of more than 65 billion barrels of Venezuela's proven oil reserves without imposing costs on American taxpayers.

    He added that Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, and Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of War, along with Delcy Rodríguez, the interim President of Venezuela, played a role in achieving this agreement. Trump said this deal will more than double U.S. oil reserves, significantly increase oil supply, and help reduce gasoline prices for Americans in the long term.

    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, announced on Friday regarding the new oil agreement between Washington and Caracas that this deal will not only ensure sustainable reserves and reduce gasoline prices in the U.S. but will also bring nearly $100 billion in private sector investment to Venezuela.
    Rubio wrote on X: "For the people of Venezuela, this agreement will bring nearly $100 billion in private sector investment, support thousands of high-paying jobs, and be a driver for the reconstruction of Venezuela's economy."

    Mohsen Khamenei called the expression of weaknesses by government officials a "great help to the enemy"

    On Friday, the office of Mohsen Khamenei released a statement attributed to him, in which the leader of the Islamic Republic implicitly criticized the "honest expression of weaknesses" by senior government officials, stating that this act constitutes a "great help" to the "enemy."

    Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, and Abdolnaser Hemmati, the Governor of the Central Bank, recently acknowledged the impact of the U.S. maritime blockade, reporting on the halt of oil sales and the inability to import gasoline.

    In the statement by Mohsen Khamenei, published on the occasion of "Government Week," it is mentioned that expressing weaknesses also creates "concern" in the "hearts of friends and allies," leaving them "confused and bewildered."

    The leader of the Islamic Republic, who has not made any public appearances since his election during the 40-day war and has not had any audio or video released, also called for the "narration and highlighting" of what he termed the "strength and power and positive points" of the Islamic Republic.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated in an interview on August 25 that he believes Mohsen Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is severely injured but "alive."

    The statement attributed to the leader of the Islamic Republic refers to the current problems in the country, such as inflation and unemployment, describing them as "dark spots" on the "page of the country's economy," which he claims must be "gradually reduced until they are completely erased."

    Mohsen Khamenei acknowledged that U.S. actions "during and after the war" are not "ineffective" in the current situation and subsequently called for "management" of this situation.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic, in response to the latest round of economic pressures from the United States, has called on countries around the world to refrain from implementing Washington's unilateral sanctions against Iran.

    In a statement issued on Friday, September 6, the ministry described the U.S. "economic expulsion operations" as "state terrorism" and claimed that the new sanctions from Washington are inconsistent with the UN Charter and principles of international law.

    In this statement, the Islamic Republic accused the U.S. of pressuring other countries to sever economic ties with Iran by leveraging the role of the dollar in the international financial system. The Iranian Foreign Ministry considers this action a violation of the national sovereignty of countries and the principle of sovereign equality of states.

    The Iranian Foreign Ministry also referenced UN General Assembly resolutions regarding the prohibition of interference in the internal affairs of countries and principles of friendly relations among states, stating that governments should not recognize the effects of U.S. unilateral sanctions or participate in their implementation.

    In another part of this statement, Tehran regarded the new U.S. sanctions as a continuation of the "economic war" against the Islamic Republic, claiming that these actions are aimed at imposing pressure and economic harm on the people of Iran. The Iranian Foreign Ministry also criticized the UN and member countries for what it called "tolerance" towards the actions of the U.S. and Israel.

    This stance came after the U.S. announced on Monday, September 2, the launch of a new campaign titled "economic expulsion operations" against the Islamic Republic. The stated goal of this campaign is to intensify pressure on Iran's economic relations with other countries through threats of secondary sanctions and restrictions on access to the U.S. financial system.

    Abbas Araghchi, the Iranian Foreign Minister, also wrote a letter to Antonio Guterres, the UN Secretary-General, urging the organization and member countries to respond to the new actions of the U.S. and holding Washington responsible for the consequences of unilateral sanctions.

There were no fees until the United States and Israel started that gamble."

    The Trump administration has informed intermediaries that it is unwilling to return to the terms of the initial agreement from June with the Islamic Republic.

    This position has posed a challenge to the recent efforts by Qatar, Oman, and Pakistan to revive negotiations between Washington and Tehran.

    The Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday, September 5, citing informed sources, that the Trump administration has conveyed this stance multiple times to intermediaries.

    The initial agreement, which was brokered by Pakistan, aimed at reopening the Strait of Hormuz and initiating discussions about the Islamic Republic's nuclear program and ending the war. In return, a reduction in sanctions and access for Tehran to frozen assets were considered.

    According to the Wall Street Journal, Trump is now prioritizing economic pressure on the Islamic Republic and is prepared to wait for the results of this policy. Ana Kelly, a White House spokesperson, also stated that no negotiations with the Islamic Republic are ongoing or planned, and the maritime blockade and "economic expulsion operations" will continue.

    This report comes as Asim Munir, the commander of the Pakistani army, traveled to Tehran earlier this week for discussions. The foreign minister of Oman has also been in talks with Islamic Republic officials to reach an understanding regarding the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz. The Prime Minister of Qatar also met with Islamic Republic officials in Tehran on Thursday, September 5.

    The Wall Street Journal noted that the disagreement over the interpretation of the June agreement and the conditions for reopening the Strait of Hormuz has made it difficult to establish a framework for resuming negotiations. Meanwhile, Tehran insists on implementing the terms of the previous agreement, while Washington continues to pursue a path of economic pressure.

He addressed questions about how secondary sanctions would be applied against countries that have economic relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

    In response to a question about Russia's actions in the region and the potential U.S. response if transactions with Iran continue, Trump said, "So far, Russia's behavior regarding the Strait of Hormuz has been very good." He emphasized the need for Washington to respond in kind to the actions of other powers, stating, "You have to keep in mind that for every action they take, we will also take action."

    The U.S. President also responded to concerns about Beijing's actions, saying, "Someone was saying about China that we've heard they are spying; we are also spying on them. The situation will continue like this."

    On Thursday, September 5, Donald Trump signed a new executive order directing that the name "Lake Ontario" be immediately changed to "Lake America." Before signing the order in the Oval Office, Trump announced, "We are changing the name of Lake Ontario, and this decision is effective immediately." According to a White House official, this order requires the U.S. Department of the Interior to update the geographic databases to reflect this new name.

    This symbolic action comes after the failure of trade negotiations between Washington and Ottawa, the imposition of retaliatory tariffs, and a significant deterioration in relations between the two neighboring countries.

    However, Canadian officials have previously stated that they will not recognize this unilateral decision by Washington, and the name of this shared border lake in Canadian territory will remain "Lake Ontario."

    The Intelligence Organization of the IRGC warned on Thursday, September 5, 1405, about the intensification of social discontent in a statement.

    The statement referred to the failure of "Iran's enemies" in their "attempt to change the Iranian government through military attacks" and noted that "opponents of the Islamic Republic are changing their strategy."

    This military and security entity claimed that activating internal crises, psychological warfare, economic pressure, and security operations are key aspects of this change in approach.

    In this statement, the IRGC Intelligence Organization warned about the increase in social discontent and the possibility of street protests, stating that opponents of the Islamic Republic are focusing on "destabilizing and reducing national resilience" through "cognitive warfare and the production of fear and ambiguity."

    This organization also reported the identification of what it called the "secret and exclusive structure" of Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, for exerting pressure from within Iran, claiming that this structure operates through connections with opposition groups, conducting sabotage operations, and employing local agents.

    The statement claimed that the Islamic Republic has moved beyond a state of "merely responding" to attacks and is seeking to increase its role in determining the course of war and diplomacy.

    Part of the published statement reads: "Iran is no longer merely in a position to respond to the attacks of the opposing side" and is moving towards "increasing strategic initiative and influencing the timing, location, and cost of war and diplomacy."

    The IRGC Intelligence Organization also reiterated Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz, stating that the military capabilities of the Islamic Republic remain "asymmetrical."

    The Executive Assistant to the President of Iran confirmed that the Islamic Republic's government cannot import gasoline due to the U.S. maritime blockade.

    According to the IRNA news agency, Mohammad Jafar Qaimpanah stated on Wednesday evening, September 4, that changes in the prices of energy carriers, including gasoline and diesel, are necessary, explaining, "The distribution of gasoline is not fair, and continuing down this path is impossible. Moreover, gasoline production is insufficient, and we cannot import gasoline due to the U.S. maritime blockade."

    This Iranian government official also mentioned that it is unclear how much and when these changes will take place.

    In recent days, alongside increasing comments from Islamic Republic officials about the necessity of raising gasoline prices, various reports have emerged about the closure of some fuel stations in Tehran and the formation of long queues in front of them. According to the latest announced statistics, daily gasoline production in the country is about 115 million liters, while consumption is around 129 million liters.

    Asieh Ramazani, a 39-year-old woman and mother of two children, was killed by direct gunfire from the Islamic Republic forces during the suppression of protests in Tehran in January 2025.

    On the morning of Friday, January 19, 2025, the officers shot Ramazani from a close distance and from behind. The bullet passed through her back and chest, reaching her heart and taking her life.

    Asieh Ramazani was the mother of a teenage daughter and an elementary school son. Her family says that after the shooting, she was taken to a clinic; however, she was left bleeding for about five hours without any effective medical attention.

    The Ramazani family, after being unaware of her fate, searched for her for three days between the forensic medicine center in Kahrizak and Behesht Zahra until they finally found her body.

    When the family found Ramazani's body, her cheek was bruised, and blood was still visible under the cover in which her body was placed. They have stated that her body was kept in "unacceptable and painful" conditions.

    The Ramazani family also says that her clothes, shoes, and other personal belongings were taken and not returned to them.

    After receiving the body, they discovered that Ramazani's heart, which had been pierced by a bullet, had been stitched without their knowledge. The family of Asieh Ramazani wrote in their account: "We will never forget those three days. Those five hours, that blood, that cover, that shattered heart, and the belongings that should have been returned to her family, we will not forget."

    They emphasized that all the facts related to her killing are still not clear and added: "Even if a thousand years pass, the blood of our loved ones will not be cleansed. We will repeat their names, keep their stories alive, and remain seekers of justice."

    Scott Basset, the U.S. Secretary of the Treasury, criticized the financial policies of the Islamic Republic in a message on social media platform X, calling for the country's financial resources to be allocated to the people of Iran.

    Basset wrote in his message: "While the people of Iran struggle with economic hardships to meet their basic needs, the corrupt government continues to waste vast amounts of money abroad."

    The U.S. Treasury Secretary further added: "The Iranian government should spend this money on its own people instead of injecting billions of dollars into its terrorist proxy groups."

    These remarks come amid an intensified campaign of U.S. financial sanctions aimed at limiting the Iranian government's access to foreign currency resources.
