    The U.S. Department of State announced on Friday that it is offering a reward of $10 million for information about Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of the Islamic Republic, and several other senior Iranian officials.

    Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Eskandar Momeni, Minister of Interior, Esmail Qatabi, Minister of Intelligence, and Yahya Rahim Safavi, military advisor to the leader of the Islamic Republic, are also included in the list published by the State Department's "Rewards for Justice" program.

    This program offers cash rewards in exchange for information, including locating individuals or assisting in the prosecution of those who commit terrorist acts against the United States.

    The U.S. Department of State stated in a press release: "These individuals command and lead various sections of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps; an entity that plans, organizes, and executes terrorist actions worldwide."

    This comes as several senior officials of the Islamic Republic, including Ali Larijani, participated in the "Quds Day" rally in Tehran on Friday.

    Tarasht Research Institute and hitting
    Here, the electricity is out

    Smoke at 10 PM

    Vahid 9:57
    I think they hit the Tarasht Space Research Institute.

    The electricity in the entire area (Tarasht) hasn't gone out; only the area near the research institute has lost power, meaning around the Timuri intersection, Sharif University, and...

    At 9:55 PM, three heavy explosions shook Aghdasieh.

    There are buildings of the Ministry of Defense and Saba Iran; they hit for the third time in this war at 10 PM.

    Hello Vahid,
    They didn't hit the Hormozan Mosque; that was a mistake. They hit the IRGC base next to the Engineering Organization of the town.

    Since December, we've had a lot of important events. However, the only pinned post in my channel is about the fact that the ads you see in this channel are not from me.

    I am not promoting anything. These ads are ordered directly from Telegram, and Telegram displays them in channels, and people like me have no option to prevent these ads from appearing in their channels. (Unless thousands of people boost the channel!)

    Recently, many people have messaged me complaining that the VPN sellers I had introduced were scammers and took their money, but I hadn't introduced anyone and had no knowledge of it.

    Now it seems a much more dangerous ad is being displayed about the Starlink internet satellite receiver!
    And they are asking me if I am sure about recommending them?
    I did not recommend them. I don't know them. It's dangerous!
    Do not take action on such matters through advertisements.

    Considering the previous post, if attacks happen again and you want to inform me, please keep in mind that there may be dozens of other messages coming in at the same time, which will practically make me inefficient and delay my response. Maybe it would be better this way:

    1- Please don’t rush and don’t send each word in a separate message. For example, don’t send it like this:
    Hello
    Now
    Tehran
    They hit
    One
    Two
    Aside from making the messages jump up and down and causing me to get lost among them, copying each word one by one is very difficult! Please write everything you want to say and send it all at once. It’s okay if it takes time. Thank you very much.

    2- Please write the time. It doesn’t matter if it’s not exact, but don’t say “just now.” Don’t say “ten minutes ago...”
    Converting these times under that pressure is very hard. Thank you.

    3- Please, when you write the time, without going to the next line, also write the name of the location, like the name of the city or place, or where you think the attack was in which “direction.”
    When you’re not sure where it is, please don’t guess and instead of a specific location, say “in the direction of” so there’s no chance of being mistaken. Thank you.

    4- Please don’t use dramatic language. I’m not saying to write in a media style, but terms like “turned to dust,” “reduced to ashes,” “shredded,” and “tilled” are exaggerations that I can’t relay, and this also leads others to use even more intense words and phrases in subsequent messages. Thank you.

    And most importantly:
    5- Please don’t try to take photos or videos. It’s very dangerous! Shrapnel can travel very far.
    But if for any reason you do this, please don’t shake your mobile phone while recording a video! If you’re moving it horizontally to show the surroundings, please don’t tilt it. Please don’t zoom in and out repeatedly. Blurring these kinds of videos is very hard and time-consuming, and it will force me to skip them.

    "Thank you for your attention to this matter."

    Sheikh Sadough Isfahan Street, video from IRIB

    I had received these messages earlier around 4 PM:
    There was a strong explosion on Sheikh Sadough Street down Saadat Abad, and they have closed the street now.
    We can't even go home through that route.
    There was a meeting of military personnel at Bank Mellat Sheikh Sadough.

    Vahid
    Isfahan, March 13, around 4 PM, they targeted the northern Sheikh Sadough Street.
    The area around Bank Mellat.
    They closed the route from Azadi Square (Shiraz Gate) towards Sheikh Sadough.

    🔄 Update:
    Received messages:
    Bank Mellat is the building seen in the first second of the above video. It seems that was not the target.

    • The upper floor supermarket was the target.

    • The name of the Sheikh Sadough building was "Luxury," Vahid.
      They were also saying that the supermarket itself was empty.

    • Hello Vahid, we are also in the Sheikh Sadough area. The Bank Mellat building doesn't seem to have sustained much damage. It appears that the charity association next to the supermarket had become a Basij base, and that was the target.

    Occasionally, channels are created in government messaging apps under my name, and many people ask if they are related to me. These channels have no connection to me, and sending messages to them is very dangerous. I only receive messages on Telegram with this ID: @Vahid_Online. This means that bots created with my name and photo on Telegram are also not related to me.

    Update: The automated channels on Telegram that I mention are mine: @VahidHeadline, @VahidOOnLine. However, they are channels where content is posted automatically. They are not groups or bots for receiving messages and such. I had written software to monitor content from other sources and send some of it to me. This way, instead of following many different media channels, I follow them all in one place. Each media outlet contains other content besides news that I am not tracking, such as interviews and TV programs... That's why I wrote software to try to capture their news content. There were other channels and bots that are currently paused due to changes in the structure of media websites and the limitations of the Twitter API, so I am mostly limited to Telegram channels until I have the opportunity to update my bots.

    Presence of Islamic Republic Officials at Quds Day Rally Among Bodyguards

    On Friday, March 13, images and videos of the presence of some senior figures of the Islamic Republic at the government-organized Quds Day rally in Tehran were published in domestic media and social networks. Among those seen at the rally were Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, Head of the Judiciary, Masoud Pezeshkian, President, Ahmadreza Radan, Commander of the Law Enforcement Force, Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, Abbas Araghchi, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Abolqasem Salavati, Head of Branch 15 of the Revolutionary Court.

    According to the published images, these officials moved through the crowd accompanied by bodyguards. These individuals, who had rarely appeared in public places in recent days, used the presence of government supporters in the streets as a human shield and participated in the rally.

    Meanwhile, some social media users pointed out that despite Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, inviting people to the streets, no image of his presence at the event has been published, suggesting that he may not have attended the rally.

    A simultaneous dubbing video of "The Fourth Press Conference of Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of War, and General Milley, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the U.S. Armed Forces, regarding the U.S. military action against the Islamic Republic in Operation Epic Fury."

    The video is 24 megabytes. I know downloading it from Iran is difficult, but it's 35 minutes long, and I haven't had the chance to see what they said yet.
    Regarding Hegseth's remarks, it seems that the media outlets I follow through my automated channels (and since I'm currently limited to those, I might be unaware of many things) focused more on the section about Mojtaba. However, he said other things as well:

    The U.S. Secretary of Defense stated in a press conference at the Pentagon that the U.S. will continue its operations in Iran without any "mercy" and is "destroying the military power of the radical Iranian regime in a way the world has never seen before."
    Pete Hegseth mentioned that Iran's military has become "ineffective in battle."

    Pete Hegseth, the U.S. Secretary of War, said in a press conference that Mojtaba Khamenei, the new leader of the Islamic Republic, is hiding underground like a wounded and desperate rat.
    He added: Members of the Revolutionary Guard see two things when they look at the sky: the American flag and the Star of David.
    According to Mr. Hegseth, the largest volume of attacks against the Islamic Republic will take place today (Friday).
    @VahidHeadline
    Pete Hegseth questioned the written statement from Mojtaba Khamenei yesterday, asking why no video or audio of him has been released, to which he replied, "I think you know why."
    @VahidHeadline
    The U.S. Secretary of Defense stated: "We know that this so-called new leader, who is wounded and probably disfigured, issued a weak statement for unity while he has brought tens of thousands of protesters to the ground in blood." Hegseth likened the leaders of the Islamic Republic to "rats" and said they have taken refuge in underground hideouts. He emphasized that Mojtaba Khamenei is fleeing due to a lack of legitimacy and fear, and it is currently unclear who truly holds power in Iran.

    During the press conference, the U.S. Secretary of Defense was asked about the deadly attack on a girls' school in Minab, to which he responded that CENTCOM has appointed an outside investigation officer to look into the matter, who will take "as long as necessary" to determine what happened in this incident.
    He stated that U.S. and Israeli operations in the war against Iran "never target civilians."
    In response to a journalist's question about why, despite claiming that the U.S. military has air and naval superiority over Iran, "you are not escorting ships through the Strait of Hormuz. Why didn't you plan for this?" he said: "We have planned for this. We recognize this. Because ultimately we want to do this... in order and in a way that has the most impact... and ensure that we are sending the right messages to the world."

    Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, said at the government rally for "Quds Day": "Trump lacks the intelligence to see that the Iranian nation is a wise, strong, and determined nation." He added that the recent attacks by Israel are indicative of their desperation.

    Messages received about the attacks related to the evacuation warning from noon:

    Sound of an explosion near Qazvin

    Hello, Qazvin, 5 explosions, it's not very clear which areas they were in, they happened one after another at 12 noon, March 22.

    Today, Friday, March 22, they attacked the police station on the Qarchak road. Next to it was the economic security police; I don't know if that was the target because they closed off both sides, and I couldn't get close to take pictures.

    Hello, today, Friday, March 22, in Shahriar, we had an explosion at 12:11.

    At 12:15 noon on March 22, they hit the governor's office in the southwestern part of Tehran, in Baharestan. The shop windows shattered.

    At exactly 12:05, they hit Qazvin. It’s probably the same Lia that they warned about.

    Qazvin, 12:05, three or four sounds one after another (sound and ground shaking), which is probably the industrial city of Lia that they warned about. Around 12:24, another one.

    The area of Alborz industrial city, Lia, Caspian, hit the city mosque. So far, there have been seven or eight sounds.

    They hit Qazvin today at noon; I don't know where it was. Two explosion sounds came, and the house shook.

    Hasanabad Fashafouyeh at 12:00, four explosion sounds. Next to the mosque, old and new police stations, and another one I don't know.

    Vahid, in the Lia industrial town, they hit at least three times. It increased to seven.

    A warning that the Israeli army issued at 11:13.
    I also received messages about:

    • The map that Israel published of the Villa area is not related to Najafabad. Rather, it pertains to the freedom of the area of the Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization.
    • That red alert area is not for Maniriyeh.
      Enghelab Street is between Enghelab Square and City Theater.
      Since one side is marked as Tehran University and the other side is marked as City Theater, the two buildings they specified have no connection to Maniriyeh.

    In other news: The Israeli army announced on Friday, March 13, that in the past 24 hours of airstrikes, they targeted over 200 military positions of the Islamic Republic in western and central Iran.

    Trump's latest post, machine translation:
    We are completely destroying the Iranian terrorist regime; militarily, economically, and in other areas. However, if you read the declining New York Times, you would mistakenly think we are not winning.
    The Iranian Navy is gone, their Air Force no longer exists, and their missile, drone, and all capabilities are being destroyed; their leaders have also vanished from the scene.
    We possess unparalleled firepower, endless ammunition, and enough time; witness today what fate awaits these crazy thugs.
    They have been engaged in the slaughter of innocent people around the world for 47 years, and now I, as the 47th President of the United States, am eliminating them.
    Carrying out this mission is a great honor! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

    The United States has granted a 30-day license to all countries to purchase Russian crude oil and petroleum products that are currently stranded at sea.
    Scott Basset, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, stated that this action was taken in response to the turmoil in global energy markets due to the ongoing war in the Middle East, with the aim of helping to stabilize these markets.
    Basset wrote in a message on social media platform X just hours after oil prices surged to over $100 per barrel: "The United States is taking decisive steps to strengthen stability in global energy markets while also working to keep prices down in the face of threats and instability posed by the Iranian terrorist regime."
    The U.S. Treasury Department emphasized that this action is "short-term and precisely limited," only covering oil that was already en route and will not create "significant financial benefit" for the Russian government.
    Basset also clarified: "The temporary rise in oil prices is a short-term and transient disruption that will bring significant long-term benefits for our country and economy."

    ♦️ Emmanuel Macron, the President of France, announced early on Friday, March 13, that following an Iranian drone attack on a military base in Erbil in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, a French officer was killed and several other soldiers from the country were injured.

    According to Macron, Senior Lieutenant Arnaud Frion from the 7th Alpine Hunters Battalion stationed in Vars was killed during this attack. He stated in a message that the French nation stands with the family of this soldier and his comrades.

    The French President condemned this attack as unacceptable and reminded that French forces have been present in Iraq since 2015 as part of the international coalition against ISIS. The French army had previously announced that this drone attack occurred while the troops were conducting a training exercise.
