In a world where war is neither declared nor ended, in an era where truth is judged not by reality but by virality, and in a homeland whose people are burning in the fire of sanctions, war, lies, and promises, the main question is no longer just who stays or who goes. The question is whether anything of us will remain.

In a tense world and a volatile region, the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran is under the microscope of public opinion and international analysts more than ever. From complex relations with global powers to Iran's role in regional equations, these raise important questions about the goals, achievements, and costs of the Islamic Republic's foreign policy. In a situation where threats from the United States and Israel, military movements in the region, and increasing tensions in the Persian Gulf have intensified, the fundamental question before us is: how is the strategy of the Islamic Republic of Iran defined in the face of a possible confrontation? What is the outlook of the Islamic Republic's foreign policy, especially in dealing with Trump's America? Engagement or confrontation?

Iran Without Water; The Alarm of Climate Collapse | How Did They Drive a Land to Death? With the presence of Mohammad Darvish, Senior Expert in Environment, Rangeland, and Watershed Management, and Environmental Activist.

Iran is thirsty, not only due to lack of rain but also due to lack of thought. Not only due to water scarcity but also due to the folly of a history that has forgotten water and soil. Tehran, the capital of Iran, now stands on the precipice of absolute waterlessness. Groundwater aquifers have been emptied. We look to the sky with supplication, and officials offer pumps and reservoirs. This is our concern. In the midst of this, the main question is not how much rain we have; the question is why we have no management. Why has no one thought of the future water rights? Who decided to sacrifice the fate of a land for development? And now the bells have tolled—not for someone else, not in another country. The bell of a land's end is right here, in the heart of Iran. The water crisis has passed from a crisis to the brink of climatic collapse.

Scenarios of the Islamic Republic in Open Diplomacy with America: A Conversation with Fadahossein Maleki, Member of the Parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.

In the geometry of global power, dialogue is sometimes a tool of peace and sometimes a mask for war. The Islamic Republic, from its very first days, has defined itself in opposition to what it calls imperialism and the hegemony system—namely, the United States. But throughout all these years, behind closed doors, the power of diplomacy has always been flowing: sometimes loudly, sometimes with sealed lips. Now, on the eve of major regional and global transformations, amid economic deadlocks and increasing social pressures, and while the world is experiencing a complex America led by Trump, it is watching this period's negotiations with Iran. The fundamental question is: what scenario does the Islamic Republic have in mind for confronting the United States under Trump's leadership? Has open diplomacy replaced covert policy?

See | The Inevitable Future of the Islamic Republic; From Protesters to Power Transfer; A Conversation with Faezeh Hashemi

Is it possible to escape the future? This is a very important question: is there any escape from the future or not? History is neither sleep nor fantasy; it is a stubborn reality that sometimes shows its face in the mirror of popular protests, sometimes in negotiations behind closed doors, and sometimes in the shadow of the comings and goings of leaders and their successors. The Islamic Republic, after nearly half a century, now seems to me to be standing in a purgatory between continuity and transition.

Supplementary - Regarding the ambiguities of this simple journalist, informed individuals, emphasizing their personal opinions, have stated: regarding the public appearance of Sardar Vahid Shahcheraghi (Ahmad Vahidi)...

And also government and other government officials have appeared, his presence was also necessary to end the rumors about his life.

The judicial outcome is no longer important and is beyond his capability, but inform the public of the existence of this official report itself.

Greetings Mr. Nabavian. You are certainly aware that the formation of a court and a trial are contingent upon the filing of a case and the conclusion of investigations at the prosecutor's office.

First, please find out if there is a case file in the Tehran Prosecutor's Office for International Affairs and what the final order was.

Simultaneously with the sound of 6 explosions being heard in a village near Qeshm city, the U.S. military announced that its forces had begun a series of powerful strikes against Iran .

I had previously mentioned that apparently, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Sistani has only led the funeral prayer for his teacher and predecessor, Grand Ayatollah Khoei.

Yet again inadvertent?!!! Have you noticed that the organizers of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei's funeral procession did not—even privately—take the body of the second leader to the mausoleum of the founding leader...

under whom the second leader served two terms as president...  

Before all of this, the director Abolqasem Talebi had predicted in an interview with a specific magazine that Akbar Hashemi would pass away before Ayatollah Khamenei, and that the Ayatollah would issue a message of condolence, and...

Although the funeral prayer led by Grand Ayatollah Haj Sheikh Abdollah Javadi was filled with heavy praise and unprecedented titles, it did not include the phrase "O Allah, we know nothing but good of him.

Just as Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei's prayer over the body of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani did not include it; though, in all likelihood, this omission of the testimony of faith was inadvertent in both prayers.

Are the officials of the Judiciary's Statistics and Information Technology Center aware that various sections of the international Adl Iran system, especially the modern judicial services and their links, do not open from outside the country?

From today, even stranger justifications are emerging in defense of Ayatollah Javadi Amoli's slip of the tongue

Of course, the Islamic Revolution Publications and the Institute for Preserving and Publishing the Works of Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei are under the responsibility of Seyyed Masoud Khamenei, and any potential document is in his possession.

Additionally, the executor of the Ayatollah's will is Seyyed Mostafa Khamenei.

I think this is Mohseni-Ejei's own writing and not a draft prepared in the head of the judiciary's office.

The writing style is more personal and seminary-oriented rather than administrative and official, particularly the use of the title "Aqa Seyyed Mojtabi."

Sheikh Haj Vali Reza Ghorbani Hagh, the head of the Ayatollah Bahjat Foumani Islamic Seminary, who was present in Qom to attend the funeral ceremony of the second leader of the Islamic Republic, suffered a heart attack and passed away.

Sheikh Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei sent a letter to the leader of the Islamic Republic, addressing him as "His Eminence Ayatollah Aqa Seyyed Mojtabi," thanking him for his trust in extending his term as head of this branch.

Of course, as previously written, it remains unclear what the third leader intends to do in the new era of the Islamic Republic

Many other matters are also not being pursued by someone/some people for the sake of expediency.

Mr. Attarzadeh, greetings. Why should the announcements be made in a way that gives room for rumors like this and worse (regardless of their truth or falsehood)?

Greetings Mr. Ashna. I state explicitly that the problem is not with delegating part of the Supreme Leader's authority to any individual or legal entity. The problem, clearly, is this:

First: The existence and health of the leader must be verified for the general public.

Seyyed Mehdi Khamoushi is in the position of the head of the Endowments Organization! Or is he in another position?

As I emphasized in this note (if not denied), any news of the appointment of any person, even the former head of that university!...

  As the head of the judiciary or the retention of the current head should not be considered confidential and the office of the leader of the Islamic Republic should mediate it with authority and independence.

Ayatollah first became a member of the interim leadership council, and this membership, contrary to initial perceptions, was not a prelude to his path to the leadership!

Then, in the 99th minute, despite all the consultations and systemic and non-systemic coordination, he was left out of being elected to the leadership.

Will Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, in his expediency, keep Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei for up to a year, conditional on the extensive changes he envisions in the judiciary?

History is a testing ground for power, and in this testing ground, nations have repeatedly faced similar questions: when a political system enters a phase of erosion, or when for many it becomes conditional and reform is no longer enough, and for many the question arises as to when the survival of a government becomes its greatest issue, and more importantly, for many the question arises as to when the future separates from the past. Today, Iran is in one of the most sensitive periods of its contemporary history: the American and Israeli attack and the war that has changed the equations of the region, the killing of the second leader of the Islamic Republic, the emergence of the third leader of the Islamic Republic, changes in the balance of power within the establishment, the increasing role of security and military institutions, the intensification of political rifts, the current negotiations with the United States, and simultaneously, the return of the discussion of alternatives to the center of attention, and the return to a question that has loomed over Iranian politics for decades: Will the Islamic Republic pass through this historical turning point? If not, how will Iran's future be shaped?

Mojtaba Khamenei and the New Architecture of Power; Will the Third Generation of the Islamic Republic Be Consolidated? A Conversation with Hassan Etemadi, Political Analyst.

It is very clear that the Islamic Republic is at one of the most sensitive historical junctures. Therefore, we are going to discuss an issue that is important for the future of Iran, and the topic of our conversation is the structure of power in Iran. We know that after the attacks that took place in recent months, and after the killing of Ayatollah Khamenei and the transfer of leadership in a very strange and extraordinary process to his son, Mojtaba Khamenei, many now believe that the Islamic Republic has entered its third generation. Although to this day, we have not seen any live voice, image, photo, or even a live signature from the new leader. Has Iran entered the era of a military-security government? And can the new architecture of power stabilize the Islamic Republic system and the nascent system of Mojtaba Khamenei, or will new crises arise?

Whether on the 1st of July this year someone else is appointed as the new head of the judiciary, or whether for the sake of expediency the current head of the judiciary is appointed to this position for another five-year term...

With the beginning of Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei's leadership, this branch (the judiciary) is in need of structural reforms, which each of the two mentioned individuals must pursue more seriously.

In the final years of his life, Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei paid more attention to two seminary jurists, namely Ayatollahs Alireza Arafi and Mohsen Araki, with more prominent decrees (or roles).

Regarding Sheikh Alireza Arafi, of course, this position was not only more prominent but also deeper, and many pillars of the system were more coordinated with him.

Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic, issued a condolence message following the passing of the source of emulation, Grand Ayatollah Sheikh Ishaq Fayyad.

What is very, very important to me is that the third leader, in his condolence message for a Muslim source of emulation (marja'), unlike the second leader, [acted differently] towards a more senior marja' than himself.

Mehrdad Khansari: Our country, at the time when Mohammad Reza Shah came to the throne, was a poor country.

Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – June 11, 2003

Mr. Seyed Mohammad Sadegh al-Hosseini, from the Dialogue Among Civilizations center, came. He had returned from a trip to Arab countries and said that most of them expect you to travel to their country. He requested an interview with Al Jazeera.

Trump has canceled the planned strikes and bombings against Iran for tonight!

The final discussions and points, both in terms of generalities and details, have been approved by all involved parties.

As we approach the start of the FIFA World Cup, are we nearing the most Ronaldinho-esque move in politics, albeit of the ruthless kind?

I had previously written about the Cyberspace Steering Headquarters that Dr. Masoud set up, and that a steering headquarters can never be strategic. My note, which is attached in response to one of the dear companions, is self-explanatory.

Now, pay attention to the statements of the head of the Administrative Court of Justice of the country.

Abdolrahim Soleimani Ardestani was sentenced to six years in prison, a fine, and defrocking (removal of clerical attire).

If the sheikh objects, this verdict can be reviewed again by the Special Clerical Court of Appeal.

Three questions from a simple journalist to the Treasurer of the country

Rumors, I repeat media rumors, about the transfer of three billion US dollars in cash from Abu Dhabi to Tehran.

Media reports and rumors regarding the targeting of Revolutionary Guard Brigadier General Vahid Shahcheraghi, known as Ahmad Vahidi, deputy and acting head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, are not true.

He is alive and command hierarchy communication with him is maintained in full compliance with security protocols.

Brigadier General (Revolutionary Guard) Ahmad Vahidi: Career background, security role, and the assassination rumor controversy

In the past 24 hours, the name Ahmad Vahidi has once again become one of the most searched names in the Persian online space. The main reason for this surge is the spread of rumors about the "assassination of Ahmad Vahidi" or the "assassination of General Vahidi."

In fact, he has not rejected it. More precisely, the plaintiffs had sought the annulment of a directive, the outcome of which was a decision by the President.

The Administrative Court of Justice initially issued an order to suspend the conclusion of this letter.

Greetings, Mr. President and head of the Supreme National Security Council. How is it that there is no information or news about around 120 Iranians whose fate in the United Arab Emirates is unknown...

And the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs does not give any response to the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its embassy in Abu Dhabi; is this not being published?!

What is the biggest weakness of the Islamic Republic? Exclusive interview with Mehrdad Khansari

Mehrdad Khansari: The biggest weakness of the Islamic Republic is the lack of development and the creation of public dissatisfaction. 

The Islamic Republic has made extensive use of the experiences of "1957".

The skill he had in construction, he did not have in "crisis management".

Read again the post-truth note about the Zaviyeh Financial Group, which had no news value whatsoever.

Now pay a little more attention to this completely normal process.

Read the 13th lie of Abdi Media again; apparently another one is coming true.

This is the announcement from the headquarters for organizing the funeral and burial ceremonies of Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei. 

Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – June 9, 2003

Dr. Rouhani, the Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, came. He said that regarding the nuclear issue, a meeting had been held at the secretariat of the Supreme National Security Council based on the Leader's suggestion. The majority of those present believe that we must sign the Additional Protocol 2+93, on the condition that... 

Now, after extensive negotiations, it was decided that the trial case of the Zavieh Financial Group would be handled by a judge who is highly reputable, highly educated, deeply knowledgeable about culture and art, and also renowned for his integrity

and so it was done! So quickly refer the case to the special branch of the Tehran Court of Appeal for review of the appeal, exactly as is. 

A will cannot be nonexistent, and even if the original will has supposedly been destroyed, a copy of it must exist in a specific place, such as the Astan Quds Razavi.

The one in charge of these matters was Seyyed Masoud Khamenei; it must be seen what he wants to do now, in accordance with the wishes of his brother, the Leader.

Twitter responses

A question: Is it possible that he, with the approval of the leader of the Islamic Republic, becomes the Minister of Intelligence, and perhaps in the next step and after a meaningful interval, becomes the head of the judiciary?

Of course, provided that the governance process continues and persists in the same form and manner. Air.

Brigadier General of the Guards Seyyed Majid Mousavi, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, while appreciating the people's presence in the squares for 100 nights...

The members of the force command office and the producer of this video are apparently unaware of the picture of the founding leader of the Islamic Republic, which is a legal requirement.

And this repeated date and historical repetition.

I have written many times about controlled war; politics is strangely ruthless.

Hossein Bayat: In such an emergency situation, there is no authorization for the government to become "self-satisfied" or "pleased with itself."

If the government continues its practice of raids, imprisonments, and house arrests, what we were worried about happening through a foreign attack will instead occur through "social collapse."

Hossein Bayat: Fundamental rights have always come into conflict with the ideological foundations of the Islamic Republic.

We are in an emergency situation in which the law is not observed.
