    On Wednesday, the U.S. House of Representatives supported a resolution led by Democrats aimed at stopping the war with the Iranian government until authorization is granted by Congress.

    According to Reuters, the resolution was passed with 215 votes in favor and 208 against, with four Republican representatives joining the Democrats.

    This vote marks the latest political defeat for Donald Trump in Congress, despite Republicans holding a fragile majority in both chambers.

    The report states that this action is largely symbolic, as it must also be approved by the Senate to take effect, and it requires the support of two-thirds of members in both chambers to overcome a potential veto from Donald Trump.

    However, this vote reflects growing concern in Congress about the war with the Iranian government. Three similar previous resolutions in the House had failed, but with narrower vote margins than before. Additionally, the Senate advanced a similar resolution last month in a procedural vote; an event that occurred after seven previous unsuccessful attempts.

    🔻Trump: We can destroy everyone, but I would prefer to reach a written agreement

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, on Wednesday, June 3, at the White House, regarding the Islamic Republic's attack on Kuwait and breaking the ceasefire, said: "We hit them (the Islamic Republic) hard on Tuesday night, and in fact, we did the same last night. And when they explained the situation to me, I said, very well, then we will do just that, but we were also hitting them quite hard."

    Trump said: "So there is a reason for some things, and usually there is a reason that sometimes seems logical. And well, they did something that was not a big issue. We quickly stopped it, just as we do with the largest army in the world. But some might say they were somewhat provoked because we had taken decisive action for another reason. So they were retaliating."

    He continued: "The negotiations themselves are going very well. Very well. If it happens; it might happen, it might not happen, who knows. But if it happens, it could happen this weekend. That's pretty much how it is.
    It's a different part of the world over there, you know. I say in that part of the world, a ceasefire means continuing to shoot in a milder way."

    Trump added: "Under no circumstances can we allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons; anything can happen when you are dealing with Iran, but when you are also dealing with other countries, this is a very unstable part of the world, probably the most unstable part of the world."

    The President of the United States emphasized:
    "We have gone through three leadership teams. This is a military situation, and there really is no army like ours. We can continue for another two or three weeks and completely destroy everyone. I would prefer not to do that. It is very easy to do. They are ready to do it. They want to do it."

    Trump said: "But if we can get something in writing that achieves the same result without killing everyone, I prefer that. I think most of my people want the same. Some don’t, but most do. I mean, we have the highest stock market in history, despite a military conflict or war. Some call it war, some call it military conflict. It’s not a big deal for us."

    🔻Trump: Enriched uranium is buried under a mountain, and we want to extract it

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, on Wednesday, May 24, regarding the extraction of enriched uranium from Iran, said the Islamic Republic has agreed to this issue at various times but has also changed its mind several times, and this matter has been exaggerated too much.

    He said: "They [agreed to the extraction of enriched uranium from Iran] and then sometimes disagreed. This is one of the things we talked about. It has been exaggerated too much. I myself exaggerated it."

    Trump, referring to the International Atomic Energy Agency report, said this material has been "destroyed" and buried under a mountain that has almost collapsed.

    He added that extracting this material is very difficult, but emphasized: "I want to get it." According to him, the United States and probably China are the only countries that have the necessary equipment for such an operation.

    The President of the United States also said that the three targeted sites are permanently monitored, and the U.S. will be informed of any movements.

    He added: "If someone goes there, we will see exactly what happens and we will blow it up a little more."

    The President of the United States regarding mine clearance in the Strait of Hormuz said the United States has used underwater mine sweepers and has cleared the mines.

    He added: "The Strait of Hormuz will be opened immediately after signing."

    🔻Trump: Iran was a major global problem, and if it wasn't contained, it could have destroyed the Middle East

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, regarding talks with Hezbollah said the U.S. has spoken with this group for the first time, and it was agreed on Tuesday that there would be no shooting.
    He added that Israel is also not supposed to shoot and emphasized that issues related to the Strait of Hormuz, the nuclear program, and Lebanon should be examined separately.
    Trump said Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, has been a "very good partner" for him.
    He also referred to the role of the U.S. in regional developments, saying that without Washington's help, Israel would not have been able to carry out its recent operations.
    Trump added that Iran has been "a major global problem" and if it had not been contained, it could have destroyed the Middle East.

    Abbas Araghchi, the Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, threatened on Wednesday that a potential Israeli attack on Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, would lead to a "complete resumption of war" between Iran and the U.S. and Israel.

    In an interview with the Al-Mayadeen network, close to Hezbollah in Lebanon, he also claimed that after Israel threatened to attack Dahiyeh, the southern suburb of Beirut and the main headquarters of Hezbollah, Iranian military forces were placed on "full alert."

    In his Wednesday interview, Abbas Araghchi also stated that communication with the U.S. government has not been "cut off," but added that "no tangible progress has been made in the negotiation process."

    A few hours earlier, Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, announced that Iran has not yet made its final decision to end the war.

    Missile Strike by the Army on US Warship in the Sea of Oman

    On Wednesday evening, the Fars News Agency, close to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported that the Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran targeted the "Command and Control Center of the US Army."

    Fars wrote: "A few hours ago, following the violation of regulations in the Strait of Hormuz and acts of aggression against Iranian commercial vessels by the US Army, the Navy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, upon discovering and identifying the 'Command and Control Center' of this aggression, located on an American destroyer, targeted it."

    The U.S. Central Command announced that the Islamic Republic's claim that it did not attack the passenger terminal of Kuwait International Airport and that the damage was caused by an American interceptor missile is "completely incorrect."
    CENTCOM stated that the Islamic Republic attacked this civilian airport with a drone and described the act as "deliberate, calculated, and unjustified."
    @VahidOOnLine
    Previously:
    Hosseini Mohibi, spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, stated that the destruction of the terminal at Kuwait International Airport was "caused by the error of American Patriot systems."
    According to Iranian domestic media, Mr. Mohibi added that the IRGC "did not fire any shots" at this airport.
    He claimed that according to the IRGC's investigations: "The destruction of the passenger terminal at Kuwait Airport was due to the error of American Patriot systems, which landed on this terminal after failing to intercept Iranian missiles."
    As a result of a missile landing at Kuwait International Airport, at least one person was killed and several others were injured. The deceased was an Indian national, and the Indian Ministry of External Affairs stated that several other Indian citizens were also injured in this attack.

    The U.S. Department of Justice announced on Wednesday that the CEO of a technology company in California has been arrested on charges of supplying American equipment to Iran's nuclear and military entities.

    According to the department's statement, Jamshid Ghomy, 63, a dual citizen of Iran and the U.S. residing in Newport Coast, California, has been charged with "conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act."

    He is accused of "providing advanced American-made networking, security, and encryption equipment to Iranian clients, including nuclear and military entities of the Iranian government." The U.S. Department of Justice also stated that Jamshid Ghomy used "front companies" in the United Arab Emirates to conceal shipments of networking and computing equipment destined for Iran, and these intermediary companies were employed to keep the true destination of the goods hidden and to circumvent U.S. sanctions.

    John Eisenberg, Deputy Assistant Attorney General for National Security, said in the statement: "According to the indictment, Ghomy has profited by supplying American technology to the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization and other sanctioned entities related to Iran's nuclear program." He added: "The National Security Division of the Department of Justice will hold accountable those who violate our laws to advance Iran's nuclear ambitions."

    According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the defendant transferred over $15 million from Iran to his bank accounts in the U.S. and falsely declared this money to the U.S. tax authorities as foreign inheritance.

    Based on these allegations, his federal tax returns showed almost no income, with the highest income reported in any year being only $20,684.

    The U.S. Department of Justice also claims that he used income from the "sanctions evasion scheme" to fund the construction of a multi-million dollar mansion in Orange County, California. The prosecution, in addition to seeking prison time, is looking to seize his assets, including his expensive mansion.

    Investigators believe he secretly purchased over 250 tons of controlled technology equipment through his company in Tehran, named "Faraz Pardaz Rayaneh," for more than a decade. He is accused of procuring and sending goods to Iran using personal accounts on eBay and PayPal and through shell companies in the UAE.

    CNBC, machine translation:

    ▪️Netanyahu dodged a question about Trump reportedly cursing at him during a phone call this week, saying that if it weren't for him, Netanyahu would be in prison now. In response to a question about Trump apparently calling him "crazy," Netanyahu said, "I won't go into details." [But Trump confirmed in an NBC interview that Axios told him he was crazy.]

    ▪️Netanyahu says he and Trump have "tactical disagreements" but "agree on the main issues." Netanyahu downplayed any suggestion of a rift with Trump, stating that while they sometimes have "tactical disagreements," they "agree on the main issues." He mentioned that these include preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons and threatening Israel with them. He said, "Sometimes, like the best families, we have these tactical disagreements. But we always find a way to resolve them, and we do it as good friends." He added, "We can have a disagreement in the morning" and reach common ground by the afternoon.

    ▪️In response to the question of whether a ceasefire with Iran has really been established, Netanyahu said, "I think a tactical game is underway." He stated, "And Iran certainly knows what [Trump] has said, that if necessary, there will be a full return to military action. That is the President's decision, Israel is ready, and American forces are also prepared." He remarked, "I think Iran should consider this. I think they are considering that they are playing with fire; that is clear."

    ▪️Netanyahu praised Trump's retaliatory action of blockading Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, calling it "very effective." He said, "The reverse blockade has been a smart move."

    ▪️Netanyahu stated that he speaks with Trump "every other day." He mentioned that the two leaders "have common goals... we want to achieve them." However, in response to the question of what he expects from a potential ceasefire agreement, Netanyahu acknowledged that "it is an unanswered question how the war should end."

    ▪️Netanyahu said that entities reliant on oil shipped through the Strait of Hormuz are currently "developing alternative routes" to compensate for the energy supply shortage caused by the effective closure of this key waterway during the war.

    ▪️Netanyahu expects regime change in Iran to occur as the current leadership has been "severely" weakened - but he did not predict when this would happen. He stated, "You cannot precisely predict when such a regime will fall. You did not predict it in many cases: neither in Romania, nor in the fall of the Berlin Wall, and no one predicted it, but it happened. Why? Because the cracks were spreading from below." He added, "In fact, you have huge cracks right now in Iran, and you cannot predict when this will happen."

    "But I said yesterday in a public meeting here... look, I believe that ultimately these cracks will widen and the regime will fall, and we will do everything we can." Netanyahu said, "I think we should help the people of Iran to overthrow this regime, and that hasn't changed, but exactly at the moment we choose, this will not happen." He remarked, "I think they have been severely weakened."

    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, said on Wednesday that the fate of Iran's 60% uranium reserves is at the center of negotiations with Washington, and Tehran has not yet agreed to a peace deal.
    Rubio stated during a session of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, "I think this issue has been clearly addressed in some of the documents exchanged between the two parties, but as of this morning, we have not yet received final confirmation from their decision-making system."

    Rubio reiterated his previous statements regarding the end of the war with Iran, saying, "We are no longer conducting continuous attacks inside Iran to weaken its military capabilities, as Operation 'Epic Fury' has concluded."

    Emphasizing that the U.S. has achieved its objectives, he added, "We define victory this way: the destruction of Iran's defense industry infrastructure, a significant reduction in the number of missile launchers they possess, and a substantial decrease in their drone reserves."
    He continued, "We have achieved all these goals. In addition, we destroyed what remained of the Iranian Air Force and eliminated its entire conventional navy."

    However, Democratic lawmakers challenged Mr. Rubio's stance on America's victory during this meeting.
    On the other hand, Iran targeted Kuwait with drone and missile attacks early Wednesday, which, according to Kuwaiti officials, resulted in one death and at least 63 injuries.

    Kazem Jalali, the ambassador of the Islamic Republic in Russia, referred to the trips of Ali Larijani, the former Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, to Moscow, stating: "His trips, except for two that we announced, were confidential. This means that both we and the Russian side did not publicize the trips. Only two trips were announced."

    Jalali told Khabar Online that Larijani had many confidential trips to Russia and traveled there seven times in the past year and a half. Without mentioning the reasons for these trips and the topics discussed, he said: "On one of these trips, the Russian side contacted me and expressed interest in making the trip public, and Mr. Larijani did not object, so the news was published. However, the last trip, which took place on January 30, 2025, was publicized differently."

    Jalali added: "We saw that when his plane took off, three or four thousand people were watching it on Flight Radar. When the plane landed in Moscow, this number had reached 34,000. This is a very high number for Flight Radar. Then, a series of rumors started to circulate. In the car he got into, I told him that we should publicize this trip. They asked why? I said that considering the events of January 7 and 8, some counter-revolutionaries are trying to portray this news differently. Some had written that the leader of the regime went to Russia, or some said that money was taken to Russia, and there were many strange news items."

    Jalali continued: "On January 30, when Ali Larijani met with Putin, at the end of the meeting, I said if you allow us, we can publish a short news item, in coordination. Thus, those two trips were publicized."

    The ambassador of the Islamic Republic in Russia also said: "After the death of Ali Larijani, Putin had prepared the text of his condolence message, but we said not to publish it until the domestic media announced the news of his death. [Because we have currently lied to our own people, and it would be embarrassing!]"

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated in an interview with the "Pod Force One" podcast from the New York Post that the Islamic Republic has agreed not to have nuclear weapons, but he also reminded that Tehran can still "change its mind."

    In this interview, which was published on Wednesday, he said: "We had to do something about Iran because no matter how good our [economic] situation is, we cannot allow them to have nuclear weapons." President Trump added, however, that "they have already agreed not to have nuclear weapons."

    When President Trump was asked in this conversation whether the Iranian regime agreed to this condition, he clarified that "yes, they have agreed to this."

    He added: "I mean, they can change their mind now, but this was one of the things they had to agree to, and they did agree, this was the main and big issue."

    The Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry announced on Wednesday, June 3, that one person was killed in Iran's drone attack on "civilian facilities" in the country, including Kuwait International Airport and several diplomatic missions.

    The country's Ministry of Health also reported that at least 63 people were injured in this attack.

    In a statement released hours after initial reports of the attack, the Kuwaiti Foreign Ministry did not specify which diplomatic missions were affected.

    Shortly after, the country's Ministry of Defense announced that it had identified 30 ballistic missiles and drones launched by Iran on Wednesday.

    Saud Abdulaziz Al-Otaibi, a spokesperson for the ministry, said: "Since early this morning, the armed forces have identified and engaged 13 hostile ballistic missiles in Kuwaiti airspace. These missiles were intercepted over several residential areas, resulting in some of their debris falling." He reported that the Kuwaiti armed forces identified and countered 17 hostile drones, adding: "This heinous aggression by Iran targeted civilian and vital facilities."

    The Indian Ministry of External Affairs announced that one of its citizens was killed at Kuwait Airport and condemned the attack. The ministry stated: "We once again urge all parties to put an end to such attacks against civilian targets."

    Earlier, the Kuwaiti state news agency reported that the attack on the country's international airport early Wednesday left several injured, suspended airport operations, and redirected some flights to other airports. The General Directorate of Civil Aviation of Kuwait also announced that Terminal 1 of the airport was "severely damaged" in this attack. Kuwait Airways also announced that it would reschedule its flights on Wednesday. However, the country's Civil Aviation Authority later reported that after assessing the damages and implementing safety measures, Kuwait Airways flights had resumed from Terminal 4.

    The New York Post reports that according to a new report, a U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle pilot was shot down twice in less than a month during the Iran war—once in Kuwait (friendly fire) and once in Iran—but survived both times.

    The identity of this pilot has never been publicly disclosed. Current and former military officials told the "High Side Substack" publication that he endured one of the toughest five-week stretches of service for a U.S. Air Force pilot since the Vietnam War.

    According to the New York Post, his misfortune began on March 2; during a friendly fire incident in Kuwait, the country's defense forces mistakenly fired at three U.S. F-15E fighter jets. In this incident, all six crew members of the three jets had to eject from the aircraft and parachute down to the ground in Kuwait. They all landed safely.

    Despite this incident, according to U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, the pilots returned to mission just four weeks later and participated in bombing operations targeting sites in Tehran—a move he deemed a sign of the courage and sacrifice of these forces. The New York Post writes that just a few days after that mission, misfortune struck one of these pilots again. An F-15E was shot down over Iran, and its two occupants crashed in Iranian territory. This pilot was quickly rescued on April 3, but the weapons systems officer accompanying him was injured and had to go into hiding after Iran offered a reward for his capture. He was rescued the following day.

    U.S. forces and their partners defended against Iran's aggressive behavior

    Tampa, Florida — On June 2, U.S. forces successfully intercepted several Iranian ballistic missiles and drones, conducting defensive strikes on Qeshm Island in response to Iran's attempts to attack across the Middle East.

    Iran fired several ballistic missiles towards regional neighbors; however, none hit their intended targets. Two Iranian missiles fired towards Kuwait fell short or disintegrated before reaching their target, and three missiles aimed at Bahrain were immediately intercepted by U.S. and Bahraini air defense forces.

    Just moments prior, U.S. Central Command forces, CENTCOM, shot down three one-way attack drones that Iran had launched towards civilian mariners legally passing through the region's waters.

    U.S. forces also conducted defensive strikes against an Iranian military ground control station on Qeshm Island. None of the U.S. personnel were harmed. CENTCOM forces remain vigilant and ready to defend against Iran's unwarranted aggression during the ongoing ceasefire.

    Statement from the IRGC citing Islamic Republic sources

    "In the name of God, the Avenger of the Oppressors
    So whoever attacks you, then retaliate against him with similar to that with which he has attacked you.

    Late last night, the aggressive U.S. military targeted an Iranian oil tanker near the Strait of Hormuz with aerial projectiles, causing damage to the engine room of the tanker.

    In response to this aggression and violation of the regulations of the Strait of Hormuz, a vessel belonging to the American-Zionist enemy named Panaya was targeted by the IRGC Navy's missiles.

    In another act of aggression, the American enemy targeted an IRGC telecommunications tower in the south of Qeshm Island with its aerial projectiles. In response to this aggression, their air and helicopter base located in one of the regional countries, as well as the U.S. Fifth Naval Fleet center, were attacked by the IRGC Aerospace Force with missiles and drones.

    We had previously warned that if there was an aggression, the response would be different and heavier, and we acted accordingly. These responses should serve as a lesson.

    We reiterate that disrupting the security of the Strait of Hormuz will have severe consequences for the aggressive U.S. military.

    And victory is only from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise."

    The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Kuwait issued an urgent statement announcing that the country's air defense systems were engaged in countering missile and hostile drone attacks over Kuwait early Wednesday, June 3. The Kuwaiti army emphasized in this announcement that the sounds of explosions heard in various areas were due to the successful operations of the air defense systems in intercepting and destroying these "hostile targets." Kuwaiti military officials have urged all citizens and residents of the country to remain calm and fully adhere to the security and safety instructions issued by the relevant authorities.

    The U.S. military fired on another ship.

    CENTCOM statement, machine translation:
    Tampa, Florida — U.S. forces [today] June 2 disabled an empty oil tanker that was attempting to head towards one of Iran's ports in the Gulf [Persian Gulf].

    U.S. Central Command, CENTCOM, implemented blockade measures against the M/T Lexie, a vessel flying the flag of Botswana; the ship was en route to Khark Island while passing through international waters. The crew ignored repeated warnings and refused to comply with U.S. forces' orders several times over a 24-hour period.

    Ultimately, a U.S. aircraft disabled the ship by firing a Hellfire missile at its engine room, preventing the tanker from reaching Iran.

    CENTCOM has been enforcing a blockade on all maritime traffic to and from Iranian ports since April 13. With the ongoing ceasefire with Iran, U.S. forces have so far disabled six commercial vessels and altered the course of 122 ships.

    Trump: Reports about halting negotiations are not true

    Machine translation:
    Reports from fake news media claiming that the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States of America halted discussions a few days ago are incorrect and false.
    Our discussions have been ongoing continuously; including four days ago, three days ago, two days ago, one day ago, and today.

    Where these discussions will lead, no one knows; but as I told Iran: "It’s time, in any way possible, to reach an agreement. You have been doing this for 47 years, and this situation can no longer be allowed to continue!"

    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, stated in a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting that there are signs that Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of the Islamic Republic, is increasingly participating in the negotiation process, "although all his communications have been in writing and through intermediaries."
    Mr. Rubio added: "Given the events that have occurred for multiple leaders in that system, I think a very public presence is probably not something that is advised for them internally."
    He also rejected the idea of reducing sanctions in exchange for reopening the Strait of Hormuz in response to Democratic Senator Chris Murphy, stating that any reduction in sanctions should occur only after significant concessions on the nuclear issue and enriched uranium.

    Marco Rubio said in a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting: "There is no such thing as the Islamic Republic Navy. What remains are a number of small boats equipped with machine guns, and a real navy is at the bottom of the ocean."
    He added that the Islamic Republic still possesses a large number of drones. Tehran's conventional deterrent capability has been significantly weakened.
    @VahidOOnLine
    The U.S. Secretary of State emphasized during a Senate hearing that America's first condition for negotiating with the Islamic Republic is the complete and unconditional reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.
    He further stressed that reopening means restoring conditions to what they were before the war and allowing the free passage of all ships through this strategic waterway, without restrictions and like other waterways in the world.
    @VahidOOnLine
    He stated that opening the Strait of Hormuz is America's first condition, but simply doing this will not lead to the lifting of sanctions, and the removal of sanctions will be contingent upon certain conditions.
