    Islamshahr
    What’s happening tonight is really terrifying.

    There was a strong explosion in Islamshahr 5 minutes ago; the houses shook.
    The explosion was really bad; they hit Islamshahr again.

    From the Rey city side, there were two sounds that made the house shake nicely.
    At 5:00 AM, a huge explosion in Rey city.

    They hit again, just like before.
    The ground never shakes like this; it feels like an earthquake.
    Rey city.

    Just now, at 5 AM, it hit again like that.

    The sound of explosions is still coming; it can be heard in the center of Tehran, Enghelab.
    A strong explosion made the windows shake in the center of Tehran, Enghelab, at 5:00 AM on Friday, March 13.

    Just now, one was much heavier than the previous ones.
    5:00 AM.

    The sound of a strong explosion at 5:00 AM around Sohrabadi.

    Vahid, there was an explosion now at 5:00 AM, a bit further away but very big towards the west of Ekbatan.

    At 5:00 AM, another explosion.

    West Tehran (Tehransar) just hit heavily now (5 AM), as if it were underground; the building shook like an earthquake.

    Exactly at 5:00 AM, the sound of an explosion in west Tehran again.

    In southern Tehran, the sound of a strong explosion came again.

    Now the sound came again.
    I’m in Tehranpars; the building shook.

    At 5:00 AM on Friday, a single explosion was heard in the center with shaking, without the sound of fighter jets. Probably bombers are patrolling high above Tehran.

    We are in Dolat Abad.
    A total of 6 explosions in a quarter of an hour.
    5:00 AM.
    The distance is far, but the windows of the building are shaking.

    We are in Niavaran; all the curtains shook from the intensity of the explosion; it was very different from usual.

    Vahid, at 5 AM, several strong explosions were heard again, southwest of Tehran, in Fallah.

    Niavaran.
    The shaking of the windows again.
    5:01 AM.

    Just now, three in a row hit at 5 AM; we are in district 19. The sounds are very different from usual; our house is shaking. I’m not exactly sure where they hit.

    Greetings from the direction of Islamshahr; just now they hit in a way that everyone ran out of their houses in fear at 5 AM.

    Exactly as others are saying, the explosions tonight are different.
    Here too, the sound was extremely terrifying along with severe shaking.

    Vahid, the Shahrak Shahran is shaking like this; I don’t know if it’s the sound of a missile or an airplane.
    Three sounds and waves of shaking came.

    Hello...

    Hello. At 5:00 AM, we felt shaking in the Bahar area of Tehran.
    Another one at 5:06 AM.

    Sir, at 5:00 AM, we are in central Tehran; we are hearing terrifying sounds of bombardment from the west, east, center, and south. It’s really strange; they are plowing; some explosions sound like bombers have come... the whole of Tehran woke up from the intensity of the explosions.

    5:02 AM, towards Pirouzi-Paramedical; the sound of the explosion was so strong that the whole house and windows shook.

    The sound of another explosion can be heard from the center of Tehran, Enghelab, but it’s around 5:06 AM on Friday, March 13.

    05:06 AM, another one but with less intensity.

    Again, in the city center towards Enghelab, there were many explosion sounds, and the windows shook (at 5:05 AM).
    It’s clear it’s not close, but it’s very terrifying that it shakes even here.

    Vahid,
    In Pirouzi towards the east, they hit at 5 AM.
    What’s clear is that the intensity of the hits has increased significantly, and the house and ground are shaking.

    In central Tehran, around Fatemi, at 5:06 AM, severe shaking for the third time in the last half hour. It shook within the framework. However, this was less than the previous two.

    Dear Vahid, we are now at Kargar Shomali opposite Laleh Park at 5:07 AM on Friday.
    There are terrifying sounds coming.

    It’s not the sound of drones or defense; it’s a terrifying sound.

    Hello, dear Vahid, at 4:40 AM, in Fardousieh, Shahriar,
    It shook so much that we thought it was an earthquake; our entire ceiling shook.

    In Kashan, the sound of explosions came eight times.
    Just now at 4:40 AM, three explosions.
    In Kashan, at 5:09 AM, the sound of explosions again.

    We are in Fatemi. It’s clear the explosions are periodic. But the wave shakes the windows. It started around 4:40 AM and has continued until now, which is 5:12 AM. We have never heard such a wave before.

    Six French soldiers have been injured in a drone attack on a military base in northern Iraq.

    According to local officials, the attack targeted a base in the Makhmour area, southwest of Erbil city; a base that is jointly used by French forces and the Peshmerga, the armed forces of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. This was announced in a statement by Omed Khoshnaw, the governor of Erbil.

    The French army later confirmed the attack, stating that the injured soldiers, who were "participating in anti-terrorism training alongside Peshmerga and Iraqi forces," have been transferred to the nearest medical facility for treatment.

    Earlier, a security source had told Sky News that two American soldiers were also injured in last night's drone attacks on a military base inside Erbil International Airport.

    The Prime Minister of Israel, regarding his country's actions against Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of the Islamic Republic, and Naeem Qassem, the leader of Hezbollah, sarcastically said: "If it were up to me, I wouldn't issue them life insurance."
    Benjamin Netanyahu also stated that Mojtaba Khamenei "cannot show his face in public" and referred to him as "a puppet of the Revolutionary Guards."
    In this press conference, which was held via video from an unspecified location, the Israeli Prime Minister said that Iran and Hezbollah are no longer the previous threat.
    @VahidOOnLine
    The Israeli Prime Minister said: "We are delivering heavy blows to the Revolutionary Guards and the Basij forces, both in the streets and at checkpoints; and this objective continues."
    Netanyahu addressed the people of Iran, saying: "The moment you can begin a new path to freedom, that moment is getting closer every day. We are with you, we will help you, but ultimately, everything depends on you. It is in your hands."
    @VahidOOnLine
    Benjamin Netanyahu said Israel can create conditions for a regime change in Iran, but it depends on the people to take to the streets.
    He stated: "You can lead someone to the water's edge, but you can't force them to drink. We will create the optimal conditions for this, including through airstrikes as we did yesterday and are doing these days, to provide the necessary space for their presence in the streets."
    @VahidOOnLine
    "Ibrahim Zolqari," spokesperson for the Central Headquarters of the Revolutionary Guards, threatened in a message that Iranian media have republished that if there is "the slightest attack on the energy infrastructure and ports of the Islamic Republic," it will result in a "crushing and devastating response" from the Islamic Republic.
    According to him, "in the event of such an aggression, all oil and gas infrastructure in the region that the U.S. and its Western allies benefit from will be set ablaze and destroyed."
    Just hours before this, "Ali Larijani," Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, threatened that if the U.S. attacks Iran's power facilities, the entire region would experience a blackout within "half an hour."

    Radio Farda: The Israeli army announced on Thursday, through the release of video footage, that its air force targeted checkpoints in Tehran.

    In a statement, the Israeli army mentioned that its air force identified and targeted "checkpoints and forces of the Basij unit" at several locations in Tehran, resulting in the deaths of Basij members. Israel claims these attacks are aimed at "deepening the blow to the nuclear layers and essential infrastructure" of the Iranian government.

    On Wednesday night, coinciding with the release of images and reports of extensive drone flights over Tehran, the Fars news agency reported that they were seeking to target government officials' checkpoints in Tehran. This news agency, which is close to the Revolutionary Guard, later reported that 10 officials were killed during these attacks.

    ♦️The Wall Street Journal, on Thursday, March 11, quoted military experts as saying that the limitations on air and naval operations in the battle against the Islamic Republic have put Washington in a strategic deadlock. These analysts believe that the continued presence of the current government in Tehran, while maintaining its nuclear and missile capabilities, effectively hands control of global energy markets over to Iran.

    Security experts warn that if diplomatic avenues fail, relying on air power alone will not be sufficient to achieve vital objectives, including reopening the "Strait of Hormuz" and neutralizing remaining nuclear stockpiles. Brian Katulis, a senior expert at the "Middle East Institute," states: "Washington's strategic priorities will likely require the deployment of ground forces and the seizure of parts of Iran's coastline."

    Four days after the announcement of Mojtaba Khamenei's appointment as the leader, a written message from him has been published in Iranian media.
    In the message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, he calls for the continued efforts of the Islamic Republic to close the Strait of Hormuz and requests that "other fronts" be opened as well.
    It is also reported that Mojtaba Khamenei stated that the Islamic Republic will not refrain from avenging the blood of Seyyed Ali Khamenei and the "blood of martyrs."
    This message does not include any photos or videos and provides no information about his health and physical condition. Previously, there were speculations about severe injury or even the death of Mojtaba Khamenei.
    @VahidHeadline
    Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of the Islamic Republic, claimed in the first statement released by his office that he learned of the Assembly of Experts' decision regarding his selection through television.

    This comes as reports had previously emerged indicating that negotiations had taken place with leadership candidates of the Islamic Republic, and they had refused to accept responsibility.

    In his statement, Mojtaba Khamenei called for the continued "presence" of supporters of the Islamic Republic in the streets and explicitly stated regarding the ongoing war: "Certainly, we must continue to use the lever of blocking the Strait of Hormuz."

    In recent days, the Revolutionary Guards have intensified attacks on commercial ships, oil tankers, and oil reservoirs of Gulf countries, effectively halting trade in the Strait of Hormuz.

    He also threatened: "Studies have been conducted regarding the opening of other fronts where the enemy has little experience and will be highly vulnerable, and activation will occur if the state of war continues and based on the consideration of interests."
