🇮🇷 Sayyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei: — In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. The news of the martyrdom of the prominent professor in the fields of science and culture, and the veteran figure in the field of foreign policy, Dr. Sayyed Kamal Kharrazi, was a badge of honor for the academic community, university professors, and political officials in the Islamic Republic system, and conversely, a mark of shame indicating the baseness of the arrogant american-zionist powers and enemies of science, culture, and Iranian civilization. The deceased spent many years of his life in the service of various cultural and media fields, and in bearing the responsibility of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He also undertook a role in the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, alongside his activity in the fields of modern cognitive sciences. As I offer my condolences and congratulations on the martyrdom of this dedicated figure and his honorable wife to the general public, the academic community, the lovers of this professor and his students, as well as the honorable Kharrazi family, especially His Eminence Ayatollah Sayyed Mohsen Kharrazi, I ask the Almighty Allah to grant them high ranks. Sayyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei | 11/04/2026

✝Kataeb MP Salim Sayegh on Israeli attacks on civilians: "Deliberate airstrikes!"

Gatherings increasing in Beirut over the Lebanese government's traitorous behavior over peace talks with Israel Even a 100 coming when the whole community is displaced is a feat in itself

With the clear failure of the Israeli attacks on Beirut to kill a single Hezbollah commander or to damage even 1% of Hezbullah's war efforts With the failure to kill even a cultural or a political official, the Israelis now want to justify that the attack in Beirut was to protect the Lebanese government from a Hezbullah coup Bro you don't even know Lebanon if you assume a coup is possible. You are murderers and coping by claiming a fake story about a coup https://x.com/i/status/2042629506192523509

Who is the LA reporter for LA times in Beirut?

يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اسْتَعِينُوا بِالصَّبْرِ وَالصَّلَاةِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ..

Back in 2008, when Ghalibaf was mayor of Tehran, he attended the World Economic Forum in Davos to tout economic opportunities in his city. The New York Times ran a piece on him, describing him as a "presidential contender." Asked about relations with the U.S., he replied, "If the United States can change its unilateral approach and replace it with a bilateral approach, then we can have dialogue." An aide then explained to the reporter that Iran wanted the United States to treat it as an equal partner, not as a renegade nation to be brought into line. All these years later, Ghalibaf is arriving in Islamabad with the authority of a president and with a mandate to hold historic talks with the U.S.
