Translated from Persian
If you recall, our combat identification officer in Tehran (Mr. Snap!) has, for the past few days, been sounding the alarm bells over the economic distress signals from the regime's foreign suppression forces—like the savage Iraqi Hashd al-Shaabi, and the Diarrhea Brigade (Fatemiyoun)—still clinging to the remnants of the former Mousavi regime, and he's issuing warnings.
-What we deliberately didn't disclose, but knew full well, was the utterly pitiful state of the regime's internal suppression forces, and now that "the mess" has come out into the open, we have no problem at all!
-Dears, know and be aware that the regime's internal forces are in a state of utter economic ruin, and slogans and bluster can no longer keep them on their feet to any significant degree.
-The noteworthy point for you is this: Not only the Diarrhea Brigade, but even the regime's butt-kissing Basijis have caught on that the mercenary pay for the savage Hashd is (was) being paid in dollars.
That's why, for some time now, the Basijis have been indirectly demanding dollars too!
-The problem, however, is that the regime's remnants don't even have hard cash dollars for themselves, and due to the serious disruptions imposed by the U.S. Treasury Department on cryptocurrencies—especially Bitcoin and Tether—and because of the abysmal state of the internet in Iran, where even blood-type SIM cards are easily kept under complete surveillance by U.S. and Israeli security agencies, the remnants of the former Mousavi regime no longer even have cash on hand to give to anyone.
-You might not believe it, but the regime's suppression economy is, in the truest sense of the word, a "bubble" right now.
-The regime's economic situation was already bright red before the 40-day war and the complete U.S. economic and commercial siege on the regime; but now, it's not just highly critical—it's turned into a full-blown catastrophe.
-The moral of the story: When you have no money, you can't fight, because fighting in today's modern world is enormously expensive and exhausting—or, put another way, impossible.

TRUMP: IRAN COMMITTED “SERIOUS VIOLATION” — DEAL STILL POSSIBLE
President Trump told ABC that Iran breached the ceasefire, calling it a “serious violation.”
Despite this, he said negotiations are still on track:
“It will happen. One way or another. The easy way or the hard way.”
The remarks signal continued U.S. push for a deal, even as tensions rise on the ground.

There was another synagogue attack yesterday in London.

It's becoming very apparent that an IRGC linked group is actively operating in London.
There have been several attacks this month:
• Jewish Ambulances
• An Iranian monarchist's family car
• An Iranian restaurant
• Three synagogues
• Iran International's offices
These are not random and they are not false flags. They are a pattern. And they are very specifically targeting the regime in Iran's main two enemies: Israel and followers of the Shah.
They see America as a lesser threat and more difficult to hit without consequences. Meanwhile, they are VERY well aware of how lawless London and the Yookay is. That is why they're focusing on Iranian dissidents and Jews in this city.
They assume Sadiq Khan in his incompetence and islamic sympathies will do nothing.
And they are probably right.

Ali Akbar Velayati, an adviser to the former Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, said in a post on X that the era of imposing security “from across the oceans” was over and warned that “any mischief will trigger a chain reaction.”
He said security in Hormuz and Malacca was now guaranteed “under the shadow of our power and that of our strategic partners,” and added that security in the Bab al-Mandab was in the hands of “our Ansarallah brothers,” referring to Yemen’s Houthis.
Velayati also took aim at Britain and France, saying that if they were concerned about shipping security, they should “think about the English Channel and the old wound of Gibraltar.” He added: “We appreciate Madrid’s independent and wise positions.”

I find it very revealing that the IRGC chose to open fire on tanker traffic today, but deliberately chose not to fire on the AH-64 Apaches patrolling the Strait of Hormuz. In daylight.
You can glean a lot of intelligence from those choices.

It will be a joyful day for Iranians when one of Iran’s most corrupt and brutal criminals is ‘martyred.’
Someone please send him some coordinates to the nearest parking lot next to him and have him stand there. We will gladly make him a "martyr"

US Congressman Greg Steube said on Saturday that “America is in charge” and warned against trusting Iran, describing it as the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism.
"President Trump holds all the cards. Iran will not get a nuclear weapon. They will not be allowed to spread terror. They can either comply or it gets worse for them," Steube said during an interview with News Nation.

President Donald Trump returned to the White House after spending the afternoon at Trump National Golf Club in Washington DC, according to press pool reporters.
Earlier in the day, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he would have more information on Iran “by the end of the day today.” A “hard lid” has since been called, meaning no further public events or official movements are expected for the rest of the day.
