    🔸Students from several universities in Iran have gathered for the fifth consecutive day despite a severe security atmosphere. On Wednesday, March 6, gatherings took place at the University of Art in Iran, Pars University of Art and Architecture, Beheshti University, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, Shiraz University, and Kharazmi University in Tehran.

    🔸The head of the judiciary of the Islamic Republic threatened that following the protests at several universities in the country, the judiciary would intervene, thus "the cost will increase." Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei stated on Wednesday, March 6, that the judiciary had warned the ministers of science and health about the need for "organizing and controlling" student protests, saying: "Our expectation is that if a crime has occurred in the university environment, the relevant authorities should report the cases for appropriate action to the judiciary; otherwise, we will personally intervene as per our legal duty, and naturally, the cost will increase."

    🔸The newspaper "Shargh" reported that at least 180 students at universities in Tehran have been summoned to disciplinary committees following recent protests. According to this report, since Tuesday, March 3, at least 180 students have received text messages stating that their presence at recent gatherings was "against educational and disciplinary regulations," and they are not allowed to enter the university until the disciplinary committee meeting is held.

    🔸As an Iranian delegation heads to Geneva for the third round of negotiations with the United States, Masoud Pezeshkian stated that there is a "good outlook" for these talks. He added: "We have tried to manage the situation under the guidance of the Supreme Leader to remove the atmosphere of neither war nor peace from the country." Iranian media reported on Wednesday, March 6, that Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of the Islamic Republic, has left for Geneva, Switzerland, at the head of the Iranian delegation for the third round of negotiations with the United States, scheduled for Friday, February 26.

    🔸Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, reacted to Donald Trump's remarks in the U.S. Congress, stating: "All options are on the table; both dignified diplomacy and deterrent defense." Ismail Baghaei, the spokesperson for the Islamic Republic's Foreign Ministry, wrote on X hours after the annual speech of the U.S. President titled "State of the Union," that Trump's comments about Iran's nuclear program, Iran's intercontinental ballistic missiles, and the number of casualties from the protests in December "are nothing but a repetition of a series of big lies."

    🔸The Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs summoned the Islamic Republic's ambassador in The Hague and protested against the seizure and inspection of a Dutch diplomat's suitcase at Tehran's international airport. According to Dutch officials, this suitcase was confiscated upon the diplomat's arrival in Tehran, and the Netherlands considers this action a violation of international rules regarding "diplomatic immunity" and "immunity of diplomatic baggage and cargo." The Netherlands has also demanded the immediate return of the confiscated belongings of this diplomat. In contrast, some media outlets in Iran reported that "unauthorized communication equipment" was found in this suitcase, including satellite phones and equipment related to satellite internet. Dutch officials have denied these claims, stating that even if such allegations were made, the handling of diplomatic luggage should have been done according to diplomatic rules.

    🔸The first translator of the Cyrus Charter into Persian has passed away. Abdolmajid Arfaei, a prominent researcher and specialist in ancient languages, died on Wednesday, March 6, after a period of respiratory illness in Tehran. Abdolmajid Arfaei, born on September 1, 1939, in Bandar Abbas, was one of the most important specialists in Akkadian and Elamite languages and one of the last surviving translators of Elamite cuneiform in the world. He was the first Iranian to study this field professionally and spent years studying and translating Elamite texts under Richard Hell's supervision at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago.

    🔸Radio Farda has learned that the head of the NHK radio and television network in Japan has been arrested and transferred to Ward 7 of Evin Prison on March 4. Reports indicate that Shinosuke Kawashima was arrested on January 20 following the crackdown on nationwide protests in Iran by security forces, but there is no information available regarding the reason for his arrest. He was seen on the morning of Tuesday, March 5, in the hall of Ward 7 of this prison, where political prisoners are held. A spokesperson for the Japanese government told reporters in Tokyo that a Japanese citizen was arrested in Tehran on January 20 (January 30), but refrained from providing further details on the matter.

    Statements made by the President of the United States in his annual speech about Iran.

    Donald Trump, midway through his speech, referred to the wars he claimed to have ended and spoke about Iran, saying: "As President, wherever peace can be established, I will do so, but if America is threatened anywhere, I do not hesitate to respond. That is why, last June, in the breathtaking operation 'Midnight Hammer,' the U.S. military attacked Iranian territory and destroyed Iran's nuclear weapons program. For decades, U.S. policy has been to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons."

    The President of the United States continued: "Since 47 years ago, when they took control of that proud country, this regime and its murderous affiliated forces have exported nothing but terrorism, death, and hatred. They have killed and injured thousands of American soldiers and hundreds of thousands or millions of people with roadside bombs. They are the kings of roadside bombs. During my first term, we killed Soleimani. He was the father of roadside bombs. And just recently, they killed at least 32,000 protesters in their own country. They shot them and hanged them. We prevented many executions through threats. They are bad people. They have now succeeded in building missiles that threaten Europe and our bases abroad. They are working on missiles that can reach the United States."

    Mr. Trump also referred to the attack last summer on Iran's nuclear facilities, saying: "After 'Midnight Hammer,' they were warned not to rebuild their weapons program. Especially not to build nuclear weapons. However, they did it, we destroyed it, and they started again. And now they have resumed their ambitions regarding their evil nuclear program. We are negotiating with them, and they want an agreement, but we have not heard those sacred words saying, 'We will not have nuclear weapons.'"

    In conclusion, he said about Iran: "My preference is to solve their problem through diplomacy, but one thing I am sure of: I will never allow the world's biggest sponsor of terrorism to acquire nuclear weapons."

    Protests at several universities in Tehran entered their fourth day on Tuesday, March 5. Images and videos of large student gatherings at Alzahra, Sharif, Kharazmi, Tarbiat Modares, Art, Science and Industry, Tehran, Soreh, and Pars universities have been published. Videos shared on social media show students chanting various slogans against the Iranian government at these universities.

    According to visual reports, in some of these gatherings, flags of the lion and sun were raised by students. The videos also depict clashes between Basij forces and protesting students, with the most severe reported at the Science and Industry University. Reports from student Telegram channels indicate that during the gathering at Beheshti University, Basij forces clashed with a number of students, resulting in injuries to several students. It has been reported from Kharazmi University that Basij forces escalated the student gathering to "violence" by firing tear gas and pepper spray.

    "Long live the king"
    "Women, life, freedom"
    "This is the last battle/ Pahlavi will return"
    "Freedom, freedom, freedom"
    "Death to the three corrupt/ Mullah, leftist, Mujahid"

    🔸The Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic said on Tuesday, March 5, that Iran is ready to take any necessary steps to reach an agreement with the United States. Majid Takht-Ravanchi, who was interviewed by NPR in the lead-up to the third round of negotiations between Tehran and Washington, stated that any U.S. attack on Iran is "a real gamble" and added that Tehran is prepared to reach an agreement with Washington as soon as possible. Regarding a potential U.S. attack, he said, "We will respond according to our defense plans" and "everyone should know that starting a war may be easy, but ending it is not."

    🔸Reactions to the statement from the People's Mujahedin Organization, which claimed that about "250 members" of the organization attacked the office and residence of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic in central Tehran, continue. The organization announced in its statement last night that its forces attacked this location early Monday morning and caused damage, but "100 of them" were killed or arrested. The People's Mujahedin Organization stated that their operation or attack began at dawn and continued until the afternoon of Monday, March 4, at the "Motahari Complex" within the residence of the Supreme Leader. The statement added that "150 out of the 250 members of this organization returned safely to their bases." Some Iranian news agencies have denied reports regarding this incident. Ahmad Bakhshaei Ardestani, a member of the National Security Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, said, "I doubt they can carry out such actions. However, I am not specifically aware of this news and do not know if such an event occurred."

Graham emphasized in a post on X and in a conversation with Sean Hannity, an American political analyst and host, who published the audio file of this conversation on his account, that "ultimately, we must remove the Ayatollah." According to Graham, "Currently, two fishing lines have been cast into the water. One is a diplomatic line aimed at finding a way to diplomatically end the Iranian regime... and the other is a military option." Graham added that he believes the U.S. President is looking to see "which line catches the bigger fish."

    Trump: If we don't reach an agreement, it will be a very bad day for that country and unfortunately for its people

    Donald Trump's new post on Truth Social:
    Multiple stories are being spread by the fake media claiming that General Daniel Keen, sometimes referred to as Razin, is against us going to war with Iran. These reports do not attribute this massive amount of information to any source and are one hundred percent false.

    General Keen, like all of us, prefers that there be no war, but if a military decision is made to act against Iran, his view is that such a war would be easily winnable. He knows Iran well, as he was responsible for Operation "Midnight Hammer"; the very attack on Iran's nuclear program.

    There is no longer anything called "development," as that program was completely dismantled by our massive B-2 bombers. Razin Keen is a great fighter and represents the most powerful army anywhere in the world. He has never spoken about not taking action against Iran, not even regarding those fake limited attacks I've read about. He only knows one thing: how to win, and if told, he will take the lead.

    Everything written about a potential war with Iran is incorrect and deliberately so. I am the one who decides. I would prefer an agreement to be reached, but if we do not reach an agreement, that day will be a very bad day for that country and unfortunately for its people, because they are great and wonderful people, and such a thing should never happen to them.

    According to a report from Axios, intense discussions are taking place among senior layers of the Trump administration regarding how to deal with the Islamic Republic. General Dan Keen, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, has warned about the consequences of a military campaign and emphasized the need for realism regarding the risks of a prolonged conflict and potential casualties.

    While some sources indicate Trump's personal inclination towards a military strike, figures such as Jared Kushner, Steve Witkoff, and even Vice President JD Vance have called for restraint and giving diplomacy a chance. Kushner and Witkoff believe that time is on America's side and that Trump should first assess the outcomes of Thursday's talks in Geneva with Abbas Araghchi.

    Despite the cautious approach of military commanders and some cabinet members, Axios reported, citing its sources, that Trump has only agreed to extend the negotiation period to ensure that all diplomatic avenues reach a dead end. Among senior cabinet ministers, Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State, has so far refrained from taking a clear stance and has focused more on issues related to Venezuela and Cuba.

    Wall Street Journal: Pentagon Warns of War Consequences; Shortage of Defensive Munitions and Risk of Force Erosion

    The Wall Street Journal reports that the Pentagon has issued serious warnings to President Trump regarding the dangers of a large-scale military operation against the Islamic Republic. These warnings, primarily raised by General Dan Keen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, during National Security Council meetings, emphasize risks such as potential casualties among American and allied forces, depletion of air defense stocks, and severe erosion of U.S. military capability.

    According to the Wall Street Journal, while the options on the table range from limited strikes to a multi-day air campaign aimed at toppling the regime, military officials are concerned that a prolonged war could impose heavy costs on strategic munitions reserves. This not only complicates the protection of regional partners against retaliation from Tehran but also undermines the United States' readiness for a potential future confrontation with China. In this context, and following increased concerns about Iran's response and that of proxy groups, the State Department on Monday ordered the evacuation of non-essential personnel and families of U.S. embassy staff in Lebanon.

    The newspaper cites military sources stating that the United States has enough interceptor missiles (including Patriot, THAAD, and SM-3) for only "about two weeks" in the event of a massive missile barrage from Iran.

    The experience of the 12-day war last June and the two-month operation against the Houthis in Yemen revealed concerning gaps in the supply of these munitions. Currently, the U.S. has deployed 13 destroyers and several defense systems in Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Israel to counter potential threats.

    Another part of the Wall Street Journal report focuses on the critical condition of the aircraft carrier "Gerald Ford." This ship, the largest warship in the world, has been on mission since last June and is on track to set a record for the longest continuous deployment (11 months).

    Navy officials warn that the crew of the carrier is under severe pressure and fatigue; a situation that previously led to incidents and the loss of several fighter jets on the "Harry Truman" carrier. Additionally, technical issues such as a malfunction in the Ford's sewage system have made conditions even more difficult for sailors.

    Despite these pressures, Anna Kelly, White House spokesperson, emphasized that Trump listens to the diverse opinions of his national security team and will make a final decision based on national interests; a decision that, according to officials, has not yet been finalized and partly depends on the outcome of negotiations on Thursday in Geneva.

    ... The New York Times reports that although a final decision has not yet been made, Trump is inclined to carry out a "preemptive strike" in the coming days to show Tehran officials that they must agree to completely halt their nuclear weapons capabilities. He has told his advisors that if his demands are not accepted, he will leave open the possibility of a more extensive military strike later this year to help bring down Ali Khamenei; although even within the U.S. government, there are doubts about whether such a goal can be achieved solely through airstrikes.

    In another part of this interview, he was asked about the proposed draft he had previously promised to present, including whether the approval of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic had been obtained and when this text would be presented to Steve Wittecuff, the U.S. special envoy. Araqchi responded that they are still working on this text to include elements that address the concerns and interests of both sides.
    He expressed hope that in a possible meeting on Thursday in Geneva, they could work on these elements, prepare an appropriate text, and reach a quick agreement. According to the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, achieving such an agreement is "completely possible."

    ⚠️ The last moments of a young boy who was killed by 'a bullet passing through his body'

    Images received of the wounded and dead in a yard with the caption:
    'I’m messaging from Vali Asr Street #Shahriar. On the night of January 8, there was really a war here. Many wounded were brought into the neighbor's yard. One of them was killed. When they brought him, he was alive. He had nothing with him. He only had ten thousand tomans, probably for his return fare to the village 😭. They said his name was Milad. I don’t know anything else about him.'

    Axios: The holding of the third round of negotiations depends on Iran presenting a plan to the U.S. within the next 48 hours.

    The Axios website reported on Sunday, February 22, citing a senior U.S. official, that if Iran presents a "detailed proposal" for a nuclear agreement to the U.S. within the next 48 hours, U.S. negotiators are prepared to hold another round of talks in Geneva on Friday, March 1.

    This senior U.S. official stated that the Trump administration is awaiting Iran's proposal.

    U.S. officials have indicated that the current diplomatic effort is likely the last opportunity that the U.S. President will give Iran before launching a large-scale military operation jointly with Israel. Axios noted that this operation could directly target Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic.

    According to the report, Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Donald Trump's envoys who have both advised him to allow for diplomacy before issuing an attack order, plan to be in Geneva on March 1 if Iran sends a proposal early this week.

    A senior U.S. official said, "If Iran submits a draft proposal, the U.S. is ready to meet in Geneva on Friday to begin detailed negotiations and see if we can reach a nuclear agreement or not." This official also confirmed that the Trump administration and Iran might discuss the possibility of reaching a temporary agreement before a comprehensive nuclear deal.

    Abbas Araqchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, said on Friday in an interview with MSNBC that Iran will prepare a draft proposal for an agreement to send to the U.S. within the next two to three days.

Regarding the broadcast of forced confessions from detainees, he added: "We do not extract confessions; in fact, we broadcast what the judicial and security apparatus provides to all media." He continued: "We publish evidence such as images that are released and confessions that are obtained, but we are not present at the detention site to extract confessions. Extracting confessions is not the job of the media." @VahidOOnLine
