    Amir Mohammad Hatami, an 18-year-old from Shahinshahr, Isfahan, was killed by a shot to the right eye after being injured and arrested on the evening of January 9.

    After 20 days of searching in prisons, morgues, and security centers, his family finally identified his body, which showed signs of torture, from an old wound on his right shoulder.

    This 18-year-old was originally from the Bakhtiari ethnic group and resided in Shahinshahr, Isfahan province. The Hatami family was unaware of their son's arrest in the early days and did not know where he had been taken after his injury.

    According to a source close to the Hatami family, during their search, they opened about 100 black bags containing the bodies of the deceased each day in hopes of finding their son. Eventually, after 20 days of searching, someone contacted the family and asked for a family member to come for body identification.

    The source said, "When we went to identify Amir Mohammad, his body was in a black bag. The blood on his body had dried, and he was unrecognizable. His body and face were completely bruised." He added that Amir Mohammad's ears were severely damaged, his eyes had been removed, and multiple signs of injury were visible on his body.

    Amir Mohammad worked as a mechanic. According to those close to him, despite his young age, he had great skill in this profession and was known as "Osta" in Shahinshahr.

    Those who knew Amir Mohammad described him as a hardworking, kind, and responsible young man who not only helped support his family but also cared about supporting working children.

    The foreign ministers of the Gulf Cooperation Council member states, in their final statement from the meeting in Manama, called for a return to dialogue and diplomacy to resolve the current crisis with the Islamic Republic and emphasized that any agreement must include Tehran's nuclear, missile, and drone programs, as well as its support for proxy forces.

    On Sunday, October 18, the council announced that efforts to achieve a political solution must be based on respect for national sovereignty, good neighborliness, and non-interference in the internal affairs of countries. The foreign ministers of the member states also stressed that these countries must participate in any negotiations or arrangements that affect their security and interests.

    In another part of its statement, the Gulf Cooperation Council condemned the missile and drone attacks by the Islamic Republic and its proxy forces against member states and Jordan, calling for further diplomatic efforts to prevent the escalation of tensions in the region.

    Macron's Speech, Machine Translation

    Section related to the Persian Gulf 3:51
    There are those who rightly feel that fuel prices have risen excessively; a price that has increased due to what has happened in the Persian Gulf; a war in which France did not participate. This dissatisfaction is also expressed in other European capitals. There is much we can do to have greater control over our fuel supply and influence its price. Starting tomorrow morning, I will be traveling to the Gulf countries for discussions on behalf of France. The Prime Minister and the government, along with fuel suppliers across the country, have made decisions to find solutions to address the rising fuel prices.

    Reuters reported that various cities in France witnessed widespread protests on Saturday, October 16, against rising living costs and declining quality of public services, which in some areas escalated into violence, arson, and looting. French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu attributed the violence to "extreme left" and criminals, stating that the government would not be intimidated. Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, also promised that those responsible for the attacks would be prosecuted. Last month's protests began with dissatisfaction over a shortage of teachers and the state of schools, evolving into a broader movement concerning inequality, public costs, and living standards.

    Following numerous instances of looting, destruction, and arson during the widespread protests on Saturday night in Paris and other major cities in France, Emmanuel Macron emphasized in a message that nothing justifies "unrestrained" violence. On Sunday, October 17, he stated in a video message, "Tonight, we all feel anger and shame." He stressed the need to distinguish between protesters with "legitimate demands" and those who engaged in destruction, vandalism, and looting. The President of France said that those who have committed acts of destruction must pay the price for their actions and added that the government would show "no leniency" in dealing with those responsible for the unrest. He described the violence as "unprecedented" and "unrestrained." Macron also promised that senior government officials, in coordination with mayors, would make necessary decisions to protect cities, public buildings, and businesses. He called the destruction of streets in French cities "intolerable" and emphasized support for affected businesses. The President of France held an emergency meeting with government ministers on Sunday following these violent protests. The French Ministry of the Interior announced that nearly 2,400 people were arrested on Saturday, with almost 1,000 police officers injured, seven of whom were seriously hurt.

    Ali Abdollahi, Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and Commander of the Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya, said in a message to the United States and Israel on Sunday, October 26, that Iran is waiting for their "foolish decisions."

    In a message published in the official media of the Islamic Republic, Abdollahi wrote: "The slogans you chant, if you could have acted on them, you would have done so by now. In each of the previous wars, you entered with the slogan of overthrowing the Islamic Republic, disintegration, and destruction of Iran, while today you are the ones facing destruction and overthrow, and a powerful Iran remains steadfast."

    The Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran further warned that the next miscalculation will be met with responses that are different and more severe than in the past.

    This message comes after Donald Trump, the President of the United States, announced on Saturday in support of Netanyahu in the upcoming Israeli elections that if Netanyahu does not win, the United States will finish the job with Iran alone.

    Benjamin Netanyahu, the Prime Minister of Israel, announced the country's new national security strategy on Sunday; a strategy that emphasizes the prevention of threats and the execution of preemptive strikes.

    The Israeli Prime Minister's Office stated that under this strategy, attacking emerging threats will replace the traditional policy of deterring threats and relying on defense.

    Netanyahu said that the wars following the October 7, 2023 attack have made a reassessment of Israel's security policy essential.

    Following the attack on October 7 three years ago, Israel has conducted military operations in Gaza and the West Bank, as well as strikes against targets in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, and Iran, and has engaged with Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis in Yemen.

    To the great people of Israel:
    "BB Netanyahu has been a Prime Minister who has acted like a great warrior and has been an even greater partner for peace in confronting the Islamic Republic of Iran; the Islamic Republic that has been chanting for 51 years: 'Death to Israel, death to America! We will destroy the little Satan and the big Satan.'

    When such words are allowed to be spoken, which country can endure? Because these words always eventually become reality.

    It was only a matter of time before Iran acted on that ominous phrase, but they have been systematically destroyed both militarily and financially, and if they do not change their behavior quickly, we will finish the job soon.

    If Israel has an unsuitable leader, meaning anyone other than BB, America will have to do it itself, and I have no desire to do that.

    BB Netanyahu has appeared powerful, brave, and brilliant in the face of severe opposition, including opposition that even comes from within Israel itself. Despite all this, he has not only endured but has actually become more successful and powerful!

    I have watched BB under the most difficult circumstances. Ordinary men or women would crumble under such pressure, but BB did not; he actually became stronger and has maintained that strength today.

    The United States of America wants exactly such a partner from Israel, a country it has worked so hard for.

    Please consider this letter as my full and unconditional support for BB Netanyahu in his upcoming electoral competition for re-election as Prime Minister of Israel.
    BB Netanyahu will never disappoint you!

    Thank you for your attention to this matter."

    Farzad Kalbali, a visiting professor at the Faculty of Law and Political Science at the University of Tehran, has been banned from teaching at the university and is also not allowed to enter the campus; the Basij of the Faculty of Law claims that this ban has been enforced due to the efforts of this organization.

    The Telegram channel "United Students" reported that Kalbali's classes were taken from him due to his support for students. According to this report, the Basij of the Faculty of Law and Political Science, while welcoming the removal of this instructor, has also threatened other professors and students, stating that it will not allow the university to return to the conditions prior to March 1.

    Hamshahri Online also accused him of using "offensive and subversive" phrases in the media, emphasizing that this instructor has never been officially employed by the University of Tehran. The report of Kalbali's ban from teaching comes at a time when Rajanews had previously published an article against him, calling for the Ministry of Science to take action against this instructor. This media outlet claimed that efforts had been made to remove Kalbali during the tenure of the Ministry of Science under President Ebrahim Raisi, but he returned to the classroom after the appointment of Hossein Simayi Sarraf in the government of Masoud Pezeshkian.

    Rajanews also described Kalbali's classes as a place for "activities against the regime" and "insulting the martyrs," accusing the management of the Faculty of Law and Political Science of politically targeting professors who support the government without providing any evidence in the quoted text. In statements published from him in the program "War Table and the Iran Issue," he emphasized his structural critiques of the ruling system while opposing military attacks by Israel on Iran. According to him, he does not see the goal of these attacks as the freedom of the people or a transition to democracy, believing that the Iranian people are the main victims. He also described the disintegration of Iran and the expansion of the strategic depth of the U.S. and Israel as objectives of these attacks.

Vance, who was present during last summer's negotiations with Tehran, responded to a question about the protracted nature of this battle by stating that the U.S. has achieved a "decisive victory" in some aspects, but "the Trump administration is seeking a final and firm commitment from the Iranians not to rebuild their nuclear program." According to this report, he also acknowledged some mistakes in troop deployments in response to the deaths of American soldiers in drone attacks by the IRGC in Kuwait and announced changes in Washington's military tactics to counter drones.

    After a long period of speculation in media circles regarding the origin of the attacks on July 6 against three commercial ships during a temporary ceasefire, Hossein Mohibi, the spokesperson for the IRGC, stated: "The attack on the violating ships was neither an autonomous action nor conducted without coordination with higher officials."
    Given the recent acknowledgment by the IRGC spokesperson of the attack on three ships being "in coordination with higher officials," it would be appropriate to recall part of the article from September 12:

    "The central argument of the hypothesis that the attacks on July 6 were 'fire-at-will' is the support of official figures in the Islamic Republic for the continuation of the ceasefire. In this hypothesis, the defense by figures such as Masoud Pezeshkian and Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf of the Islamabad agreement is cited as evidence of the 'Iranian government's' opposition to the resumption of conflict in the Strait of Hormuz. However, citing statements of this nature to explain the positions of the 'system' means ignoring the actual power structure in the Islamic Republic of Iran, where the main decision-maker is not individuals such as the President or the Speaker of Parliament, but what is referred to as the 'leadership institution'... Regardless of whether the decision-makers, executors, and supporters of the three attacks later achieved the results they anticipated, it is clear that what occurred on July 6 was not 'fire-at-will.'"

    CENTCOM post, machine translation:
    On October 6, U.S. forces destroyed an Iranian-affiliated vessel that was engaged in reconnaissance and monitoring of U.S. Navy ships in the Sea of Oman and identifying targets for attacks against them.

    In the past seven months, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps of Iran has continued to target thousands of civilian mariners passing through the region's waters, in addition to U.S. Navy warships, without distinction.

    The crew of the vessel safely evacuated before its destruction. Efforts to return them to their country are ongoing.
