    The memorial service for Lindsey Graham, the Republican senator who passed away on July 11 at the age of 71, took place in the U.S. Capitol.
    In addition to Mr. Graham's family, hundreds of American lawmakers attended the ceremony.
    Some world leaders also traveled to the U.S. capital to participate in this event.

    Senator Graham was from South Carolina and had been elected to the U.S. Senate four times. In the early years of his political career, he was a staunch critic of Donald Trump, the President of the United States, but later became one of his loyal allies in Congress.
    He was a well-known figure in the conservative movement and a fierce opponent of the Islamic Republic of Iran, having spoken at an event with Iranian government opponents in Germany last winter.

    The Ukrainian Foreign Minister, @andrii_sybiha, assured me that the attack on an Iranian ship was not intentional and that Ukraine is not seeking to escalate tensions.

    Iran is also not seeking to escalate tensions, but has clearly stated that any attack on our citizens or interests is unacceptable. Damages must be compensated.

    Ibrahim Rezaei, a member of the National Security Commission of the Parliament, wrote on X that Abbas Iraqchi, instead of expelling the Ukrainian embassy's chargé d'affaires, responded to the call of that country's foreign minister and "in defense of the interests of the aggressor claims that the attack on the Iranian ship was not intentional."
    He added: This is while Zelensky has officially accepted responsibility for the deliberate attack against the Islamic Republic. It cannot get any clearer than this in humiliating the Islamic Republic.

    Kazem Gharibabadi, the Deputy Foreign Minister of the Islamic Republic, announced on Tuesday that Tehran has rejected Oman’s proposal for an equal division of shipping routes in the Strait of Hormuz and, in return, has presented a temporary plan to reopen this waterway to Muscat.

    Gharibabadi stated in an interview with Iranian state television that Oman had suggested designing the shipping route so that 50% would be under Iran's control and the other 50% under Oman's control, but the Islamic Republic deemed this plan insufficient. He said, "We said this issue does not alleviate Iran's concerns."

    According to the Deputy Foreign Minister, Tehran has proposed a temporary plan under which the movement of ships would take place in a route from Iran's territorial waters, with part of the round trip also located in Iranian waters.

    Gharibabadi also emphasized that the policy of the Islamic Republic is that the Strait of Hormuz "should never return to the pre-war status" and warned that any European warship that, according to him, approaches the Strait of Hormuz will be a "legitimate target" for the Islamic Republic.

    He added that Oman had also suggested sending a country to clear mines from the southern part of the Strait of Hormuz, but Tehran has opposed this request as well.

    Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, described his meeting with Donald Trump on Tuesday, August 6, in a video posted on his Instagram account as "excellent."

    He added, "This was a conversation based on complete partnership, mutual support, and an understanding of a common goal to ensure that Iran does not acquire nuclear weapons, as well as other objectives. This was one of the best discussions I have had with our friend, President of the United States, Donald Trump."

    The Israeli Prime Minister consulted with Trump for about 90 minutes at the White House; a meeting that took place behind closed doors and without the presence of journalists. Netanyahu emphasized that "the entire senior team" of Trump and also "our senior team" were present at this meeting, and this meeting was "an opportunity for exchanging views and coordinating important arrangements for the security and future of the State of Israel."

    The post of the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, machine translation:

    I reached out for a candid conversation with Iran's Foreign Minister, @araghchi. Diplomacy means direct dialogue, even when it is difficult. I emphasized that our goal is to prevent unnecessary escalation of tensions.

    I reiterated that all actions of Ukraine are solely aimed at defending our country against Russian aggression and that we have never intended to target vessels or civilians.

    This also applies to Iran's statements regarding its citizen who lost their life and a civilian vessel that was targeted in a recent incident. Our goal is to counter Russian aggression, which is the root cause of all these incidents; and it is Russia that bears full responsibility for all provocations and casualties.

    I stressed the necessity of refraining from any provocative actions and also ending any support for Russia's war against Ukraine. This war is illegal and must come to an end.

    Our position remains unchanged: Europe and the Middle East deserve stability, security, and peace.

    In recent days, media close to the government and some officials of the Islamic Republic have once again emphasized the enforcement of the mandatory hijab law and taking action against women who do not comply with this law. At the same time, the newspaper "Hamshahri" published a report calling on the judiciary and law enforcement to address what it referred to as "norm-breaking" and "improper dress."

    The Hamshahri newspaper, affiliated with the Tehran municipality, in a report referencing videos of women without mandatory hijab at the beaches of Kish, recreational centers, shopping malls, and some cultural events, described these instances as signs of "cultural nudity" and claimed that some of these events might be part of an "organized project" to undermine Islamic values.

    This newspaper, referring to the videos released from the Simorgh beach in Kish, the holding of fashion shows, mixed celebrations, concerts, and changes in dress patterns in public places, called for the intervention of the prosecutor's office and law enforcement to take action against individuals who, in the view of this media outlet, violate the laws regarding the mandatory hijab.

    At the same time, several members of parliament have once again called for the implementation of the law known as "supporting families through the promotion of the culture of chastity and hijab." Mohammad Taghi Naghdali, a representative from Khomayni Shahr, claimed that "nudity and lack of hijab have infested society like a plague" and urged officials to prioritize the enforcement of this law.

    Trump: If Iran does not agree to a deal, we will target the "Kolang Gazla" mountain, bridges, and power plants

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Tuesday that good discussions are ongoing with Iran, but he once again threatened that if Tehran does not reach an agreement with the U.S., underground facilities in the "Kolang Gazla" mountain, bridges, and power plants in Iran will be targeted.

    In an interview with Fox News, he stated that if possible, he would prefer not to target Iran's bridges and power plants.

    Trump explained: "I can take out all their power plants in one day. All their power plants will be destroyed. I think about 91 million people will have to live without electricity and without bridges. And this is a very, very delicate balance."

    He emphasized: "They know that if they do not agree, I will do this."

    Donald Trump warned: "I can say that within two hours, most of the bridges, the main bridges, will all be destroyed, and the power plants will be taken out within one day."

    He added: "If I can avoid doing this, I would prefer to avoid it."

    The U.S. President also referred to the memorandum signed between Washington and Tehran in June, which reached the brink of collapse during the conflicts in July, saying: "We can no longer allow them to violate agreements."

    On Tuesday, August 6, Reuters reported, citing a knowledgeable source in the Persian Gulf, that Oman has proposed the establishment of a joint regional mechanism with voluntary fees or transit costs for managing the Strait of Hormuz to Iran.

    According to this unnamed source, Oman's proposal is supported by regional countries and, based on it, Iran will not have exclusive control over this vital waterway.

    This proposal is modeled after the management of the Strait of Malacca between Malaysia and Indonesia, where passage through this waterway is accompanied by voluntary payments that fund navigation, environmental protection, and search and rescue operations.

    Oman has previously stated officially that it does not agree with the management of the Strait of Hormuz in the way Iran desires and will adhere to international laws.

    Iranian officials had earlier confirmed that they had held discussions with Omani officials regarding the management of the Strait of Hormuz. The spokesperson for Iran's Foreign Ministry emphasized on Monday that the only negotiation Iran is currently involved in is with Oman regarding the Strait of Hormuz.

    U.S. President Donald Trump stated on Monday that the country has had "good negotiations" with Iran and that there is a possibility of an agreement, but he warned that if negotiations do not yield results, U.S. attacks will resume.

    Meanwhile, Abbas Araghchi, Iran's Foreign Minister, discussed the Strait of Hormuz with his Omani and Saudi counterparts on Monday.

    Parts of Trump's speech in Michigan:

    • They have been negotiating for 47 years — which is actually close to 50 years, because for at least three years everyone has been saying 47 years — and all they do is keep everyone waiting.

    • We also cannot allow what was happening in Iran and is still happening to continue. They killed 52,000 protesters in a four-month period; imagine that, 52,000 people in Iran.

    Machine translation:
    Trump: ... Venezuela... After we won in about 48 minutes, they said, "Oh, that was a good move." Well, the same thing is happening in Iran right now.

    People still don’t understand. We have destroyed their navy. We have destroyed their air force. We have destroyed their leadership. We have destroyed their anti-aircraft weapons.

    Their drones are now being produced at about seven percent of their previous capacity. We have destroyed a large part of their drone production capability and missile production capability.

    Now they are talking to us about reaching an agreement; but if we hadn’t done this, there would be no negotiations.

    They have been negotiating for 47 years — which is actually close to 50 years, because for at least three years everyone has been saying 47 years — and all they do is keep everyone waiting.

    They were the bullies of the Middle East and our bullies. Obama gave them $1.7 billion in cash. Remember? They put the money inside a Boeing 757 and sent it to Tehran; $1.7 billion in cash.

    He thought he could bribe them; but instead, they said to themselves, "How stupid is this country?"

    No, you cannot bribe them. You have to defeat them, and we are defeating them badly. But we will see what the outcome will be.

    Now very friendly negotiations are underway.

    How well has our navy performed in enforcing the blockade? Not a single boat [has been able to pass]. They say, "We don’t want the blockade anymore. Please, please, don’t blockade us."

    Trump:
    Now the price of eggs is much lower than when we started. You will see how things will be once we eliminate the Iranian nuclear threat — which will happen very soon.

    But the price increases had nothing to do with me.

    One of the speakers accompanying Trump:

    It took 47 years for someone to stand up and say that madmen should not have nuclear weapons.

    It also took several decades to bring jobs back to the country.

    Trump:
    We could not allow what was happening in Venezuela to continue, and the action taken was very decisive.

    We also cannot allow what was happening in Iran and is still happening to continue. They killed 52,000 protesters in a four-month period; imagine that, 52,000 people in Iran.

    But the cost of the Venezuela operation, as they said, has been covered so far. Similarly, we are winning against the Islamic Republic of Iran by a large margin and ensuring that they never acquire nuclear weapons.

    When someone asks, "Why are we doing this?" the answer is that we cannot allow you to have nuclear weapons. That is the only thing we need to say.

    If you understood the power of nuclear weapons, you would fully grasp what I am saying.

    I say again: Iran will never have nuclear weapons.

    Trump's interview video with Persian subtitles at the bottom of this post

    Text of parts of the conversation, machine translation:
    🔺 Reporter: Regarding the war with Iran; have you been disappointed or angry with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for the advice he gave you early in the war and the outcome it has led to?

    🔻 Trump: No, I think he has done an outstanding job.
    We have nearly destroyed their army.
    They want to meet, and we are meeting with them. We will see what happens. There is a possibility that we can reach an agreement.
    Without what we did, they wouldn't even have been willing to talk to us. They requested a meeting both through intermediaries and directly, and we are negotiating with them. You know, good things might happen.

    I think oil prices have dropped significantly today. About an hour ago, the stock market was soaring. But no, they requested a meeting. If our performance had been weak, they wouldn't have requested a meeting.
    The only reason they want to meet is that we have dealt them very heavy blows.

    🔺 Reporter: How much longer will you wait against Iran?
    🔻 Trump:
    I have plenty of time; a lot of time.
    Their entire coastline has been destroyed. The Strait is in very good shape, and we are negotiating right now.
    You know, they wanted to talk. Their people said, "Please don't bomb. Don't shoot last night and the night before; don't do it for two nights."
    You know, we are having good discussions. So we will see what happens.
    I think there is a good chance that something will happen. If it does, great. If not, we will go back to doing what we were doing two days ago.

    🔺 Reporter: Mr. President, how have communications with the Houthis regarding the Red Sea been? Are you worried...
    🔻 Trump: Houthis? That was a problem we faced some time ago, and as you know, we really crushed them. After that, we had no problems with the Houthis. But right now, we are not involved in that issue.
    Of course, we might intervene. You know, if they become problematic, we will probably have to take action.

    🔺 Reporter: Regarding Saudi Arabia; have you received any indication from Saudi Arabia that they will join the Abraham Accords?
    🔻 Trump: We haven't talked about that yet.

    🔺 Reporter: In the event of an escalation of conflict, are you concerned about a depletion of ammunition stocks?
    🔻 Trump: We have plenty of stocks. We have various types of ammunition. You know, Biden gave a lot of it to Ukraine, and we are currently rebuilding those stocks; but we still have a lot.
    We have a lot of mid-range weapons; more than we could use in any situation. We have plenty. To be honest, I would like to have more, but Biden gave a huge amount to Ukraine.
    When I left, the warehouses were full.
    When I took office after Obama, he hadn't bought ammunition, and we had very little stock. I rebuilt those stocks. But as soon as I left, they gave a lot of it to Ukraine; numbers that no one had seen before.
    So now we are producing at a very rapid pace. Factories are being built, and a lot of equipment is being produced. Especially the production of Patriot systems is increasing.
    We have plenty of stocks. Each of our contractors is currently building four or five factories. We are in very good shape, but we would definitely like to have more of some advanced equipment. Biden gave away a lot of it.

    ...

    🔺 Another Reporter: Do you and Prime Minister Netanyahu agree on Iran?
    🔻 Trump: Almost. Yes, almost. We have a small disagreement, but overall we are pretty much in agreement.
    You know, Iran has taken very heavy hits in the last 14 days, and they very politely asked us: "Please stop. Let's negotiate."
    We are at that point now. We will see what happens. If we don't reach an agreement, we will go back to doing the same thing.

    🔺 Reporter: President Zelensky says Russia is providing satellite images of U.S. bases in the Gulf to Iran to help them target. What can you do about this?
    🔻 Trump: We will look into whether this is true or not. I will ask Putin about it. We will find out.
    If such a thing has been done, it hasn't had much impact because we have really crushed them. Don't you think so?
    Look, the Russians provided a lot of equipment to Venezuela. All of Venezuela's equipment was Russian. What was the result? Not very good.
    So they may have given equipment, but if they did, it hasn't been successful; because they no longer have an army, air force, navy, or anything else. So it hasn't had a good outcome.
    I don't think Russia has done that; at least not on a large scale. If they have, it has been very ineffective.

    ....

    🔺 Reporter: Regarding Iran's assets; you said that Iran's assets will be used to pay for damages to ships that have been targeted in the Strait. Will the United States directly pay shipping companies?
    🔻 Trump: No, no.
    We will use Iran's money to pay for the damages they have caused themselves.
    In other words, Iran's money, which is under our control, will be used to pay for the damages. Sounds good, right? Not bad, right?
    That's how it should be.

    🔻 Trump: Alright, is there another question?
    ....
    To be honest, we are treating many countries that cannot survive without us very kindly.
    Do you know which country cannot survive without us? Israel.
    Bibi is coming; he will tell you this himself. If I hadn't intervened and turned that nuclear facility, which was practically on the verge of producing nuclear weapons, into dust, Israel would have been destroyed months ago.
    Years ago, if I hadn't canceled that terrible Obama deal, Israel would have been destroyed.

    🔺 Reporter: Prime Minister Netanyahu disagrees with you about selling F-35 fighter jets to Turkey. Netanyahu opposes delivering F-35s to Turkey. Are you planning to tell him...
    🔻 Trump: No. Look, Turkey has been a very good ally for me. I think he [Erdogan] has done a very good job; he performed well in Syria too.
    He is my friend, and no one tells me what we should sell or not sell.
    Turkey has been an incredible ally for me. Of course, Turkey is not a staunch supporter of Israel. You know that, right? He is not a fan of Bibi either, but Turkey has been great for me.
    Also, Turkey is a very powerful country. It has a huge and very powerful army and has very good equipment.

    🔺 Reporter: Does Netanyahu want you to reach an agreement with Iran, or does he want you to continue the attacks?
    🔻 Trump: Bibi has been really great. I don't want to say which option he prefers. He has been a prime minister during wartime, and we have performed very well together.
    If you look at Iran today, its power is only eight percent of what it was four months ago; eight percent of what it was four months ago.
    We will see what the final outcome of this situation will be.

    Trump: If negotiations with Iran fail, I am ready for "severe military action"

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, said on Monday to Axios that he has decided to halt U.S. attacks on Iran to give negotiations another chance; however, he emphasized that if diplomacy fails, he may order the resumption of extensive military operations.

    Why it matters:
    Current negotiations focus on reaching a new agreement that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz and resume discussions on a comprehensive nuclear deal.
    ▪️ The negotiations are primarily taking place between Iran and Oman; however, Qatar, Pakistan, Egypt, and Trump's envoys, Steve Biegun and Jared Kushner, are also actively involved.

    What he says:
    In this interview, Trump stated, "We are having very serious and deep negotiations with Iran. If these negotiations do not succeed, we will once again resort to very severe military actions."
    ▪️ When asked how long he is willing to give diplomacy a chance, he replied, "Not a lot of time. It either has to move quickly, or it won't move at all."

    The Yemeni "Houthi" forces, affiliated with the Islamic Republic, announced that they targeted several crude oil transfer centers in Saudi Arabia using drones, along the route for transporting oil from the east of the country to the port of Yanbu.

    Yahya Saree, the spokesperson for the Yemeni armed forces, claimed on Monday, July 27, 1405 (Iranian calendar), that these attacks were in response to what he called "the violation of Yemen's airspace by Saudi drones."

    In response, the Saudi Ministry of Defense stated that the country's air defense intercepted and destroyed several attacking drones that, according to Riyadh, "were launched by armed groups supported by the Islamic Republic" and "had flown from Iraqi airspace."

    According to this ministry, these drones intended to attack oil facilities in eastern Saudi Arabia and the city of Riyadh.

    The Saudi Ministry of Defense emphasized that based on the "legitimate right to self-defense," it considers the response to these attacks a reserved right to be exercised at an appropriate time and place.

    The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs also condemned this attack. The ministry urged the Iraqi government to take all necessary measures "to prevent the use of its territory as a launch pad for attacks against Saudi Arabia," a request that seems to indirectly reference the role of the Islamic Republic in the attacks on Saudi Arabia.

    At the same time, news agencies close to the Revolutionary Guards, including Tasnim, claimed that the combined drone and missile attacks by the Houthis caused a fire at the Abqaiq oil facility, one of the most important oil processing centers in the world. Tasnim described this attack as "a devastating blow by Yemeni forces to the Saudi economy."

    However, Saudi officials have not yet confirmed the occurrence of a successful attack on the Abqaiq facility or a fire at this center.

    The post of the Ukrainian Foreign Minister in response to Abbas Araghchi's post

    Machine translation:
    Iran's threats are unfounded and baseless. The Tehran regime is a direct partner in Russia's aggression against Ukraine and fuels it by supplying weapons for Moscow's criminal war—weapons that have killed Ukrainians since 2022.

    Iran has no standing to portray itself as a victim, let alone justify its threats with ridiculous references to the UN Charter.

    With these statements, Iran is also trying to divert attention from Russia's terrorist actions against civilian shipping in the Black Sea; actions that threaten global food security. But it will not succeed.

    Russia's attacks on the freedom of navigation will be at the center of today's emergency meeting of the UN Security Council, and we expect a decisive response from the international community.

    Naftali Bennett, the former Prime Minister of Israel, says that whenever he returns to the premiership, he will "immediately" declare Qatar a "hostile" country.

    Mr. Bennett described the Qatari government on X as "violent" and a "cancer of anti-Semitism" that has "extended its tentacles throughout the West and even into the office of the Prime Minister of Israel."

    He also claimed that during his time as Prime Minister, he saw information indicating that Qatar was financially supporting the Revolutionary Guard. This far-right politician, who is a key figure in the Israeli opposition, accused Qatar of seeking the "destruction" of Israel.

    Mr. Bennett wrote that Qatar "is not a complex country; it has invested billions of dollars in a powerful global influence network that causes significant harm to Israel."

    The British Defense Minister stated that his country has not supported and will not support any aggressive action against the Islamic Republic.

    Ben Wallace, in an interview with Sky News, added that he clearly communicated this position to his American counterpart, Pete Hegseth, in his first week in office.

    Wallace took on this role on July 20 during the formation of Andy Burnham's cabinet, the new Prime Minister of Britain. In the same week, he discussed maritime security in the Strait of Hormuz and NATO commitments with Hegseth.

    He mentioned that despite this, there are many areas for cooperation between the two countries, ranging from ensuring security in the Strait of Hormuz and preventing the Islamic Republic from acquiring nuclear weapons to investing in Britain's military capabilities and NATO.

    Wallace also stated that Europe will one day be grateful to Donald Trump, the President of the United States, for pulling the continent out of lethargy and forcing NATO allies to take responsibility for their own security.

    Several local media outlets in Gilan and the social media account of the Malavan Football Club in Bandar Anzali announced on Tuesday morning, August 5, that Nima Moradi was killed in Ukraine's attack on the "Anna" commercial ship in the Caspian Sea.

    Official authorities have not yet confirmed the identity of the victim of this "unprecedented" attack by Ukraine.

    Volodymyr Zelensky announced last Friday that the Ukrainian army targeted two ships related to "military cooperation between Iran and Russia" in the Caspian Sea.

    The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran has warned that "no attack will go unanswered."

    Since the second year of the war with Russia, Ukraine has accused Iran of transferring Shahed 136 suicide drones to Russia. The Islamic Republic of Iran claims it provided the technology for manufacturing these drones to Moscow before the war between Russia and Ukraine began.
