Iraq has sent another convoy of militias into Iran under the cover of humanitarian aid
This is not mercy or aid, but a Trojan horse.
In addition to regular militia-linked convoys making free and unhindered cross-border trips, the regime is now smuggling in thousands of Hashd al-Shaabi fighters disguised as medical teams.
These Iranian-backed Shia militias, known as the PMF, are the same forces who played a role in brutal crackdowns on Iranian protesters that killed over 45,000.
With no meaningful border control or vetting, the Islamic Republic has deliberately allowed them in and is counting on them as another uprising begins to take shape.
In the Islamic Republic, ambulances have been used to transport security forces and detain protesters, while hospitals have been stormed to target the wounded.
The regime is preparing for a violent crackdown on its own people.
The world must wake up and support the Iranian people before it is too late.

After two hours, the talks between Israel and Lebanon in the United States concluded.
Israel’s Ambassador to the United States:
We agreed with the Lebanese side that Lebanon must be freed from Iranian occupying forces — namely Hezbollah.
We made it clear to the Lebanese side that the security of Israeli civilians is not up for negotiation.
We have no need for French involvement in the negotiations with Lebanon.
We will continue negotiations with Lebanon in the coming weeks.

Well, this USA blockade certainly took away the leverage Iran thought they had. Are you saying the Arabs used Iran as the bad cop while the rest of them played good cop?
No doubt. They were perfectly happy to quietly send money and support to the regime in Iran until they caught some flak in the current conflict.

The statement adds that continued US maritime actions targeting Iranian shipping would be considered a violation of the ceasefire.

Whoa that's crazy. Imagine being a Basij soldier at a checkpoint. You're literally a sitting duck. Hopefully this leads to more defections.
Kind of shows how much damage we and Israel did. They are spread thin enough that a couple of masked guys were able to get up and close with him and give him the Caesar treatment.

France’s exclusion from the Washington Israeli-Lebanese talks should have been a diplomatic scandal, a historic ally locked out of the most significant Lebanon negotiation in thirty years. But Beirut didn’t protest, didn’t lobby for French inclusion, and didn’t even notice. That silence is the real verdict.
France spent decades posturing as Lebanon’s guardian, hosting summits, drafting frameworks, and performing concern from the chandeliered rooms of the Élysée, while Hezbollah’s arsenal swelled from fifteen thousand rockets to two hundred thousand under the watch of French UNIFIL troops who enforced nothing.
Macron proposed Paris as the venue for these very talks, drafted a recognition plan, and personally called Aoun, Salam, and Berri, and previously Mikati, to choreograph a French-led diplomatic triumph.
Today, Lebanon and Israel are sitting across from each other at the State Department in Washington, brokered by Marco Rubio and mediated by the American Ambassador to Beirut, Michel Issa, who is of Lebanese origin and remains a Lebanese.
France was not just sidelined, it was rendered irrelevant by its own record of performing diplomacy without producing a single enforceable outcome. The bridge Macron wanted to claim credit for was built by others, and the cruelest part isn’t that France was excluded, it’s that nobody in Beirut objected.

Iran has been working to remove debris blocking entrances to its underground missile bases during the ceasefire, CNN reported on Tuesday, citing satellite imagery.
The images show heavy machinery clearing tunnel entrances that were previously targeted in strikes by the United States and Israel to disrupt missile operations.
US intelligence previously assessed that roughly half of Iran’s missile launchers remained intact after a month of fighting, CNN reported, adding that some may have been buried following strikes on tunnel entrances.
Experts cited by CNN said the activity reflects the design of Iran’s underground “missile cities,” built to survive attacks and allow forces to re-emerge and resume operations.

Pakistan is calling for a 45-day extension of the temporary US-Iran ceasefire, according to Dawn, as cited by PANews.
A Pakistani diplomatic source said Islamabad been in contact with multiple parties since the collapse of weekend talks, seeking consensus on extending the truce or resuming technical-level contacts between Washington and Tehran.
The source added that intermediaries are helping facilitate exchanges between the two sides on outstanding issues, in an effort to secure at least a 45-day extension and pave the way for further negotiations.

This explains the explosions at the Jeyhun–Imam Khomeini intersection. Looks like slowly, those who can are fighting back against the regime. First attacks with rifles against police and IRGC vehicles, now car bombs.

who would be hitting that?
Could AA batteries being tested or could be a drone from someone. Perhaps the UAE? They are the only ones besides us and Israel that have struck the regime with military attacks.

ICE agents detain regime apologist and frequent BBC Persian commentator Yousof Azizi.
Reports indicate he was taken into custody outside his home and is being transferred to a detention facility in Louisiana.
Azizi is a PhD candidate at Virginia Tech and a regular media voice opposing sanctions and pressure on the Islamic Republic, positions that have made him a controversial figure among Iranian opposition circles.
This comes amid a broader wave of ICE actions targeting Iranian nationals as tensions escalate.
