    On Tuesday, May 25, Iranian media published a message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, on the occasion of the Hajj ceremony, in which he stated that the United States will no longer have a "safe point for establishing a military base in the region."

    In this message, he did not provide any explanation regarding the American bases located in the Persian Gulf countries but warned that "the lands of the region will no longer serve as a shield for American bases."

    Mojtaba Khamenei also recalled his father Ali Khamenei's claim from ten years ago about Israel, asserting that this country is also nearing "the final stages of its existence" and "will not see 25 years after that date."

    Since the announcement of Mojtaba Khamenei as the third leader of the Islamic Republic, no image or voice of him has been released, and Iranian media only publish written messages from him.
    @VahidHeadline

    In the message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, referring to Ali Khamenei's statements from ten years ago, Israel is described as a "fragile Zionist regime and a cancerous tumor," and it states: "Israel is nearing the final stages of its cursed existence, and by God's grace and in accordance with the decisive and forward-looking words of the great martyr leader, may God bless his pure soul, it will not see 25 years after that date, God willing."

    These remarks come at a time when Israel and the United States have killed high-ranking political and military officials of the regime, including Ali Khamenei, the former leader of the Islamic Republic, during two wars in the past year, destroyed a significant portion of the Islamic Republic's nuclear program, and severely weakened Iran's military and economic facilities and infrastructure.

    The spokesperson for the Qatari Foreign Ministry says that reports claiming the government of this country offered $12 billion to the Islamic Republic to ensure the finalization of an agreement with Iran are "completely unfounded."

    Majid Al-Ansari wrote on X network on Tuesday, June 25, that these reports are "published by parties seeking to disrupt the agreement and undermine diplomatic efforts aimed at reducing tensions and strengthening stability in the region."

    He added that Qatar's diplomatic efforts, conducted in "coordination" with regional partners, are "well-known and transparent."

    Majid Al-Ansari described the dissemination of such narratives as "desperate attempts to tarnish the credibility" of the Qatari government, which he stated is "a reliable international actor on the path to achieving peace."

    The news agency Mizan, affiliated with the judiciary, announced that Gholamreza Khani-Shakarab has been executed on charges of "intelligence cooperation and espionage in favor of Israel." Mizan claims he was the "operational network leader of Mossad" and was executed after the verdict was confirmed by the Supreme Court.

    In the judiciary's account, serious accusations have been attributed to him, including recruiting individuals for sabotage operations, receiving cash and cryptocurrency, assaulting and throwing acid on the cars of individuals targeted by Mossad, setting public property on fire, preparing bombs and sending them to Tehran, filming target locations, and even being tasked with facilitating the assassination of a Jewish rabbi in one of the regional countries.

    The main ambiguity in the case is how Khani-Shakarab was transferred to Iran. Mizan reported that he was identified abroad and was led into the country through "intelligence deception" and arrested.
    @VahidHeadline
    Mizan stated: Based on the suspect's confessions, one of the most important missions that the Mossad service had designed for him was to send him to one of the regional countries with the aim of identifying and facilitating the assassination of a Jewish rabbi.
    @VahidHeadline

    The judiciary report did not mention the date of the suspect's arrest and trial, while describing him as "one of the thugs from one of the provinces of the country with a history of brawling and mischief" and claimed that he "was seeking to recruit individuals and employ them within the country to carry out anti-security actions."

    No report has been published regarding the trial process of this suspect, and the judiciary's report did not provide any documents or evidence regarding the accusations.

    In recent months, the judiciary of the Islamic Republic has been executing sentences against protesters or individuals accused of collaborating with the U.S. and Israel almost daily. Some human rights organizations say that the Islamic Republic uses executions to create a climate of fear and as a means of repression.

    Despite recent U.S. attacks on Iran's missile systems and boats in the Persian Gulf, which have further destabilized the fragile ceasefire, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Tuesday that an agreement with Iran is "still possible."

    He told reporters in India, "Negotiations were ongoing in Qatar today, and we will have to see if we can witness any progress. I think a lot of time is spent on the precision of the words and phrases used in the documents, so it will take a few days."

    Mr. Rubio added, "The President has expressed his willingness to do this. He will either reach a good agreement or no agreement at all."

    Mr. Rubio told reporters that the Strait of Hormuz must remain open.

    He stated that they will open this route anyway and added, "What is happening there is illegal and creates instability for the world and is unacceptable."

    The Central Command of the U.S. forces - CENTCOM - has stated: "U.S. forces today (Monday) conducted defensive strikes in southern Iran to protect our forces from threats posed by Iranian forces."

    The CENTCOM statement mentioned: "The targets of these strikes included missile launch sites and Iranian boats attempting to lay mines. The U.S. Central Command continues to defend its forces while exercising restraint during the ongoing ceasefire."

    Iran has not yet officially reacted to this report, but some Iranian sites reported that two speedboats of the Revolutionary Guard were targeted near the shores of the Persian Gulf, resulting in the deaths of several crew members.

    Late Monday night, Iranian time, some residents of Bandar Abbas and cities along the Persian Gulf reported hearing several explosions and anti-aircraft defense activity.

    Official media also confirmed these reports but stated that the cause of the explosions is unclear.

    It seems this incident occurred in the early hours of Tuesday, about 24 hours ago.
    However, it appears that those sources from the Islamic Republic that disseminated this news deliberately wrote it in a misleading way to relate it to the sounds heard recently.

    But this tweet, which seems to be about the same news, is from 7 PM on Tuesday:
    Last night, a Revolutionary Guards boat was hit by a fighter jet that had taken off from the UAE while laying mines in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in the deaths of four Revolutionary Guards members.

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Monday that he has ordered new attacks on southern Lebanon in an effort to "crush" the Hezbollah group.

    Hours later, news agencies reported several intense Israeli strikes in the region.

    In a video released on Telegram, Netanyahu stated that he has called for "increased speed" in the Israeli army's attacks. He also accused Hezbollah of targeting Israeli forces with drones.

    The order for more attacks on Lebanon coincides with demands from two extremist ministers in the Israeli cabinet who had called for intensified strikes on southern Lebanon as well as the capital, Beirut, on the same day.

    Israel's assault on this area comes as Tehran and Washington are negotiating, among other things, the end of the war in Lebanon. The Iranian government has requested an end to the war in Lebanon in each round of its recent negotiations with the U.S.

    The reciprocal attacks between Israel and Hezbollah occur while both sides have nominally been in a ceasefire for over a month.

    Donald Trump, the President of the United States, in his latest message on his social media platform on Monday, announced "good" progress in negotiations with Iran and urged all countries involved in these talks to immediately join the Abraham Accords after reaching an agreement with Iran.

    The Abraham Accords were an initiative that Donald Trump started during his first term to normalize relations between Arabs and Israel, successfully encouraging several countries, including Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates, to participate.

    Now, the U.S. President has linked the process of reaching an agreement with the Islamic Republic to this initiative and has stated that he has presented this "mandatory request" to other Gulf Arab countries as well as Turkey, urging them to join the Abraham Accords promptly and simultaneously.

One or two countries may have reasons for not doing this, and that will be accepted, but most of them should be ready, willing, and able to turn this agreement with Iran into a much more historic event than it otherwise would be."

    CBS: Mojtaba Khamenei is hiding in an undisclosed location with limited access to the outside world.

    Machine Translation:
    Information from U.S. security agencies indicates that Iran's Supreme Leader is effectively hiding in an undisclosed location, has limited access to the outside world, and communication with him is only possible through a complex network of couriers; this was stated by American officials familiar with the matter.

    According to these sources, Iranian officials authorized to cooperate with the Trump administration have faced difficulties in establishing communication within their own governmental structure; an issue that has been one of the main reasons for the delay in clarifying the details of a potential agreement with Iran and previous agreements.

    Two American officials said that when the U.S. sends proposed details, the difficulty in accessing the Supreme Leader sometimes causes a long delay before receiving a response from the U.S.

    The White House spokesperson declined to comment on information regarding the Supreme Leader's whereabouts or Iran's communication methods.

    A senior government official said on Sunday that the Supreme Leader has agreed to the general framework of the current draft agreement, and Donald Trump, the President of the United States, wrote on Truth Social that he expects a final response to be announced in the coming days.

    Mojtaba Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, who was injured in U.S. and Israeli attacks during Operation "Epic Fury," has taken very strict measures to prevent attacks similar to those that led to the death of his father, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Ali Khamenei ruled Iran from 1989 until February 28. Mojtaba Khamenei has not been officially seen or heard in public since before the war began.

    One official said that information obtained by U.S. and Israeli intelligence from within the Iranian government has enabled the identification and removal of a large portion of Iran's senior leadership during the war.

    Sources said that currently, most Iranian leaders do not see daylight, remain in heavily fortified shelters for weeks, and refrain from speaking to each other except in absolutely necessary cases.

    One official said, "Watching their efforts to figure out how to talk to each other is almost like watching a sitcom. They are completely exasperated."

    The strictest precautionary measures have been taken by the Supreme Leader.

    According to the design of this mechanism, even high-ranking officials in the Iranian government do not know where he is and have no way to contact him directly.

    Instead, messages are transmitted through a network of couriers created to keep the Supreme Leader's location secret.

    One official said, "That’s why you see some saying, 'The Supreme Leader has agreed to the framework' or 'We are waiting for a response regarding the final points of the agreement.' Any information that reaches him is already outdated, and his responses are significantly delayed."

    The Supreme Leader has communicated with his subordinates in general terms and has directed them on what topics they can negotiate and which topics should not be raised.

This official emphasized that the U.S. will not yield to the demands of the other side, adding that President Donald Trump's desire and decision is to give negotiators another 5 to 7 days to bring the agreement to a final stage.

    According to this report, a framework agreement with Iran has progressed to 95% by Sunday, and although both sides have reached an agreement on the general issues related to Tehran's nuclear stockpiles and the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, negotiations over the details and "precise wording" of the text of this memorandum are still ongoing.

    Tasnim, the news agency affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, reported on Sunday, citing "an informed source": "There is no optimism towards the U.S., and the exchange of messages through the Pakistani mediator is constantly conducted with a sense of skepticism towards the U.S. government."

    Tasnim further quoted this source: "As of now, a final understanding has not been reached, and challenges in some clauses continue. However, even if an initial understanding is reached, it does not mean a change in Iran's view of the U.S. or assurance of this government's commitment to its obligations. The Americans have a very bad track record in negotiations, which reinforces and solidifies skepticism. Therefore, even if an understanding is reached, Iran will monitor U.S. actions throughout the process following the announcement of the understanding, and if the U.S. violates its commitments at that stage, Iran will retain its leverage to address that."
    Tasnim had previously reported on "U.S. obstruction" in the clauses of the understanding, including the release of Iran's frozen assets, stating: "The possibility of the understanding being nullified still exists."

    The government news agency Tasnim reported on Sunday evening, June 3, citing the Tehran Revolutionary Court, that the initial ruling in the case known as "the Ekbatan kids" has been issued, with four of the "main defendants" sentenced to death for the charge of "corruption on earth."

    According to Tasnim, the charges against nine defendants in this case, who were imprisoned due to the killing of "Arman Ali-Vardi," a pro-government Basij member, include "inflicting knife wounds, disturbing public order, widespread disruption of national security, conspiracy to commit crimes against internal security, distributing Molotov cocktails, inflicting stone blows on Arman Ali-Vardi, assaulting Arman Ali-Vardi, and propaganda activities against the regime."

    Based on this report, the Tehran Revolutionary Court sentenced defendants numbered one to four in the case to death for the charge of "corruption on earth," while defendants numbered five to nine received prison sentences ranging from one to five years and additional penalties.
    @VahidOOnLine

    Branch 15 of the Tehran Revolutionary Court, presided over by Judge Abolqasem Salavati, sentenced four of the defendants in the "Ekbatan neighborhood" case to death for the charge of "corruption on earth," while the criminal court had previously stated that the attribution of murder to the defendants had not been definitively proven and that the possibility of issuing a retribution sentence was not available.

    The Mizan news agency, affiliated with the judiciary of the Islamic Republic, attempted to justify the issuance of this ruling in a report on Sunday. According to this report, the case was handled in two parallel jurisdictions; the criminal court addressed the murder charges, while the Revolutionary Court dealt with security-related charges, including corruption on earth. Mizan claimed that after both the forensic medical commission and the intelligence department stated that it was impossible to determine who inflicted the fatal blow on Arman Ali-Vardi, the criminal court acquitted three of the defendants of participation in the murder and sentenced three others to pay blood money and imprisonment. However, in the parallel process, the Revolutionary Court sentenced the same defendants to death for the charge of corruption on earth.

    According to the HRANA news agency, Milad Armon, Navid Najaran, Mehdi Imani, and Seyed Mohammad Mahdi Hosseini are the four individuals who have received death sentences. The other four defendants in this case, Amir Mohammad Khoshghab, Alireza Barmarzpournak, Alireza Kafayi, and Hossein Nemat, were each sentenced to five years in prison, two years of imprisonment for propaganda against the regime, two years of prohibition from activities in cyberspace, and two years of prohibition from residing in Tehran and Alborz.

    Marco Rubio, the U.S. Secretary of State, said in a brief interview with The New York Times: "We are not postponing the issue. Nuclear negotiations are very technical matters. You cannot resolve a nuclear issue in 72 hours and on a napkin."
    He added: "Currently, seven or eight countries in the region support this approach, and we are ready to continue down this path."

    This comes as Mr. Rubio had stated just hours earlier that news about an agreement with Iran could be announced by Sunday evening, which could officially end the Middle East war.
