    CENTCOM statement on Saturday and Sunday attacks
    (including the attack hours ago in Sirik, Hormozgan, which, according to the post below, seems to have occurred around 4 AM on Monday Iran time. It is still Sunday in the U.S.)

    Machine translation:
    "America defended itself in response to Iran's aggression and neutralized the threats.

    Tampa, Florida — The United States Central Command, CENTCOM, conducted defensive strikes this weekend against Iranian radar sites and drone command and control centers in Iran's Gurok and Qeshm Island.

    These calculated and deliberate strikes were carried out on Saturday and Sunday in response to Iran's aggressive actions, which included the downing of a U.S. MQ-1 drone operating over international waters. U.S. fighter jets responded swiftly, destroying an Iranian air defense system, a ground control station, and two one-way attack drones that posed a clear threat to vessels passing through the regional waters.

    None of the U.S. military personnel were harmed. CENTCOM will continue to protect U.S. assets and interests in response to Iran's unwarranted aggression during the ongoing ceasefire."

    Trump's post, machine translation:
    The fake news media CNN today, as usual, said that my Iran nuclear deal does not talk about nuclear issues; while in reality, it clearly states that Iran will not have nuclear weapons.
    Then it goes into very strong and detailed specifics about various other aspects of the nuclear issue.
    In fact, most of this deal is about this topic.
    CNN and many others in the fake news media are a disaster with low ratings.
    Even with new ownership, it is unlikely their situation will ever improve!!!

    Iran International reported a few hours ago that Masoud Pezeshkian had officially requested to resign from his position in a letter to Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic. The media outlet also mentioned that the letter referred to structural disagreements in the governance of the country and the role of military institutions in major decision-making.

Perhaps they have seen what happened to others and are realizing what actions Trump is ready to take."

    Basset added: "If Trump agrees to this deal, I tell the leaders of the Islamic Republic right now that he will implement this agreement both militarily and economically. Freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf through the Strait of Hormuz must return to its previous state."

    When asked if Trump will "get the job done," he said: "If 'getting the job done' means ensuring the Strait of Hormuz is open, taking control of highly enriched uranium, and preventing the Islamic Republic from having nuclear weapons, then the job is done."

    Basset emphasized: "Whether through military intervention, blockade, or economic pressure, this is the first time in 47 years that Iranians are discussing not having nuclear weapons. This topic was previously taboo, and now it has been put on the negotiating table for the first time."

    Iraqi said on November 19, 2025, on the Islamic Republic television that Trump sent us a letter and explicitly wrote, "There are only two options: either war and bloodshed or direct negotiations for the elimination of enrichment and missile programs."

    This interview was a few months after the 12-day war! This means that in November, the problems between the U.S. and the Islamic Republic were still the same issues that led to a war, and this interview was one month before you resorted to the massacre of people in the streets!

    Now, the focus of the negotiations is completely clear! It’s the same issues that triggered the 12-day war. It’s the same things that Iraqi mentioned on television in November.

    The blood of every single Iranian, including the children of Minab, is on your hands! You were the negotiating party; you were the decision-makers.

    And you chose uranium and missiles over the lives of the people, the country's infrastructure, steel, and petrochemicals… You chose uranium and missiles and hostility towards Israel and the U.S.! You are still the negotiating party and decision-makers! If war resumes, it is still your decision and your fault!

    You cannot hide behind the children of Minab and escape the massacre of December! Every drop of blood and every destruction is on you.

    Hasan and Hossein Amiri, two 20-year-old twin brothers imprisoned in Qazalhasar Prison in Karaj, have been sentenced to death by Branch 26 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Iman Afshari.

    According to information received by HRANA, the basis for this ruling is the accusation of "spying for Israel."

    A knowledgeable source told HRANA that in the indictment issued against Hasan and Hossein Amiri, images of damaged buildings were cited as evidence for the charge of "spying in favor of Israel."

    This source also stated: "Hasan and Hossein Amiri are being held separately in Qazalhasar Prison at the order of the case investigator and are deprived of the right to meet each other. The two prisoners are currently held in Suite 35 of this prison."

    According to this report, the two brothers were previously arrested at a checkpoint after their mobile phones were examined. After their arrest, they were held in a state of uncertainty in Qazalhasar Prison for two months.

    👈 Hasan and Hossein Amiri have been raised in welfare centers since the age of two and do not have a family to follow up on their legal and judicial status. According to acquaintances of these two young men, the lack of family support has increased concerns about the handling of their case.

    CNN: Iran has reopened several entrances to its underground missile facilities

    CNN reported on Sunday, June 10, citing satellite images, that Iran has managed to unearth several of its buried missile stockpiles since the cessation of hostilities due to airstrikes by the U.S. and Israel.

    The attacks by the U.S. and Israel had limited Iran's access to its underground missile bases by destroying roads and blocking tunnel entrances.

    CNN claims that Iran has so far reopened 50 out of 69 tunnel entrances that were targeted in 18 underground missile facilities by the U.S. and Israel, including at bases outside Isfahan and around Khomein.

    According to the news network's report, Iran has also repaired other parts of these bases, including roads that the U.S. and Israel bombed to prevent the movement of missile launchers. Satellite images show that nearly all the craters caused by the bombings have now been filled, and in two bases, these roads have even been repaved.

    Iran has constructed its network of underground bases deep within the earth and in some cases beneath mountains to protect them from air attacks, which is why the U.S. and Israel bombed many of the entrances to these facilities; an action that, alongside efforts to identify and destroy missile launchers, significantly limited Iran's ability to launch missiles.

    These attacks inflicted heavy damage on the bases, burying most tunnel entrances under a massive amount of rubble and severely damaging the roads leading to these sites.

    CNN states that reopening the entrances to the underground missile facilities could enable Iran to launch more ballistic missiles towards Israel and other countries in the event of a new round of hostilities compared to the late stages of the 40-day war.

    Axios, machine translation:
    President Trump, in a meeting held on Friday in the Situation Room, called for several amendments to an agreement reached by his envoys with their Iranian counterparts; this was stated by a senior government official and a second source familiar with the matter.
    ...
    Iranian officials told state media that they have not yet approved the final text; although two American officials had previously claimed during the week that Tehran was ready to sign and that everything depended on Trump's decision.

    According to these two sources, Trump asked his team to make changes to the draft concerning the clauses of Iran's nuclear program.

    In its current form, this memorandum includes Iran's commitment not to pursue nuclear weapons, but no specific concessions beyond that have been included.

    The text states that there will be a 60-day period to negotiate Iran's nuclear commitments and the reduction of sanctions by the U.S.; the first agenda items will also include how to address Iran's enriched uranium stockpiles and limit further enrichment.

    Trump wants to work on amending this section.

    A senior government official said, "The issue is more details about how the U.S. will receive the materials and what the timing will be"; he was referring to enriched uranium.

    The second source said Trump also wants to amend some phrases regarding the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz.

    This American official said Trump has been informed that it will take about three days for the Iranians to respond. This senior government official said, "They are practically in caves and do not use email."

    This senior government official said, "There will be an agreement. How imminent it is remains to be seen. We are willing to wait for the President to get what he has asked for. It may take a week. It may be less. It may be more. We hope to have something by the beginning of the week."

    ♦️ According to the New York Post, following the Islamic Republic's missile attack on an airbase in Kuwait, several American military personnel and contractors were injured. This attack comes as Donald Trump, the President of the United States, is evaluating whether to accept Tehran's latest peace proposal or return to a state of war.

    A knowledgeable source reported on Saturday, June 9, that after a "Fateh-110" missile was intercepted by Kuwait's air defense in the past 24 hours, debris and shrapnel from the missile's destruction fell over the "Ali Al-Salem" airbase, resulting in minor injuries to several Americans. This incident also caused significant damage to two MQ-9 Reaper drones, valued at approximately $30 million.

    This attack occurred while Donald Trump held a meeting with his security team on Friday, announcing that he intends to make a final decision regarding the agreement with Iran; an agreement that includes a 60-day extension of the ceasefire, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and starting further negotiations on Iran's nuclear materials in exchange for lifting the U.S. naval blockade.

    Mustafa Nili, a lawyer, announced that the First Branch of the Revolutionary Court in Shiraz has sentenced Benjamin Naqdi to death on the charge of "corruption on earth."

    In an interview with Emtedad, Nili stated that Benjamin Naqdi was arrested on the evening of January 3rd in Shiraz for igniting a fire extinguisher towards law enforcement officers.

    According to this lawyer, the initial charge of "attempted murder" was communicated to his client, but it was later changed to "moharebeh" (waging war against God).

    He added that after the preliminary investigations were completed, the indictment against Benjamin Naqdi was issued with charges of "moharebeh," "membership in groups disrupting national security," "conspiracy and collusion with the intent to commit a crime against national security," and "propaganda against the regime." Nili mentioned that a decision to dismiss the prosecution was issued regarding the charges of "causing bodily harm to officers" and "carrying a cold weapon."

    Nili also stated that the judges of the First Branch of the Revolutionary Court in Shiraz, during the proceedings, recognized the set of charges as constituting "corruption on earth" and based on this, issued the death sentence for Benjamin Naqdi.

    The lawyer for Benjamin Naqdi, referring to his and his colleagues' intention to appeal this ruling, said they would file a request for cassation within the legal timeframe. He expressed hope that, given that no individual was harmed during the incident in question and that his client's actions do not constitute corruption on earth, the ruling would be overturned by the Supreme Court.

    The internet in Iran has not become free and normal. Most foreign routes are either blocked or semi-open. Only certain destinations and specific routes are allowed to pass. This has caused regular VPNs to not work well.

    In this situation, some individuals who have whitelisted domains and routes are selling access. The result has been an unequal, rent-seeking internet filled with temporary solutions.

    "In lieu of cash, Qatar has agreed to provide $6 billion in credit to Tehran to purchase essential goods and products from Qatar."

    A source familiar with the negotiations told Iran International that Qalibaf's trip to Qatar resulted in a diplomatic failure, and despite Tehran's request for the immediate and unconditional release of $12 billion in cash simultaneously with the signing of a preliminary memorandum of understanding with the U.S., Qatari officials rejected this request.

    According to this source, Qatari officials only agreed to release half of this amount under strict conditions.

    Based on statements from a source close to a Qatari official present in the discussions, Doha has refrained from transferring these funds directly or in cash to Iran. Instead, this money will only be made available to Tehran as credit to purchase essential goods and products directly from Qatar.

    This limitation has been imposed at a time when the U.S. has strongly opposed granting the Islamic Republic direct and unrestricted access to cash assets. The U.S. has expressed concern that the direct injection of cash could create vital economic breathing space for Tehran, allowing it to pay overdue public sector salaries and procure military equipment from other countries during a period of severe regional tension.
