Former Iranian Deputy FM Mohammad-Javad Larijani Threatens: A Drone Can Hit Trump in the Bellybutton While He Is Sunbathing at Mar-a-Lago; Macron Could Be Hit While Partying at a Discotheque

Memri10-07-2025
Former Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Larijani warned in a June 21, 2025 interview on IRINN TV (Iran) that Israel and the U.S. do not have a monopoly on MAV technology, and that he could be targeted by an MAV while sunbathing at Mar-a-Lago. Larijani went on to warn French President Macron that he too could be targeted by an MAV while out partying at a discotheque.
He said that while Iranians fight 'like real men' and therefore don't use such technologies, Trump has 'more than only a handful' of enemies in America, and even amateur MAV users could choose to 'rip his stomach open.'
Larijani, who has served in several senior positions in Iran, is currently the Director of Iran's Institute for Research in Fundamental Sciences (IPM).

Syria arrests key liaison between Iraqi PMF and Al-Assad's Division in Deir ez-Zor

Shafaq News – Damascus Syrian security forces have arrested the main liaison between Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and the 4th Division of the Syrian army in the eastern city of al-Bukamal, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Saturday. According to the UK-based war monitor, the individual—identified as Mohammad Hammoud al-Amin—was detained in a special operation carried out by Syria's Internal Security Forces. Al-Amin is described as the key "architect" of security and military coordination between the PMF and the 4th Division, which is commanded by Maher al-Assad, the brother of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. The monitor said that he previously served as head of the "Alawite Security Office" in al-Bukamal and was reportedly one of the most influential intelligence figures in the area. 'His role had gained importance amid the increasing influence of Iranian-backed groups in Syria's eastern region over the past several years.' The PMF did not comment on the incident. Earlier this month, the security forces arrested another figure linked to the 4th Division, Shadi al-Samadi. He was a commander in the 'al-Ghaith' group, an elite unit led by Brigadier General Ghiath Dallah, a close ally of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Al-Samadi, originally from Daraa al-Mahatta in southern Syria, is accused of participating in documented military operations and atrocities, including the 2014 offensive on Eastern Ghouta and the 2018 military campaign in Daraa. Despite the Russian-brokered reconciliation deal that followed, he reportedly continued his activities under the 4th Division's banner.

Macron urges inclusive settlement in Syria

Shafaq News – Paris/Damascus On Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron called for a comprehensive political solution in Syria that includes local actors and upholds national sovereignty. In a phone conversation with transitional Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa, Macron stressed the need to protect civilians and pursue accountability, pointing to the findings of an independent commission as a foundation for legal action against those responsible for recent clashes in Suwayda province. Macron welcomed the ceasefire announced in the province, describing it as a positive step that should pave the way for dialogue focused on national unity and citizens' rights. He underscored the importance of involving local stakeholders in building a political framework that ensures effective governance and long-term stability. The French president also emphasized the need for continued negotiations between the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and Damascus, urging both sides to engage constructively. He noted that recent tripartite talks had clarified the next phase of the process, reaffirming his country's commitment to Syria's territorial integrity. The conversation also addressed regional coordination with Israel, particularly efforts to stabilize the Syrian-Lebanese border, where "France stands ready to support de-escalation initiatives." أجريتُ محادثة مع الرئيس السوري المؤقت، السيد الشرع. تُذكّر أعمال العنف الأخيرة في سوريا بالهشاشة الشديدة التي تمرّ بها مرحلة الانتقال. من الضروري حماية السكان المدنيين.من الملحّ تفادي تكرار مشاهد العنف، ومن الضروري محاسبة المسؤولين عنها.… — Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) July 26, 2025

Recognition not enough: French Left urges military intervention in Gaza

Shafaq News – Paris Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the left-wing movement La France Insoumise, called on France to act swiftly and ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, ahead of President Emmanuel Macron's planned recognition of the State of Palestine in September. Earlier this week, Macron announced France would extend official recognition to Palestine during the upcoming UN session — a move criticized by both Israel and the United States. Mélenchon hailed the announcement as a 'moral victory' reflecting growing public pressure and widespread solidarity with Palestinians. However, he questioned the timing, stressing, 'Why wait until September? People in Gaza are dying now, not in two months.' The left-wing leader also called for an immediate ban on arms exports to Israel and the suspension of the European Union's economic partnership with Tel Aviv, warning that symbolic recognition alone would not halt what he described as 'the ongoing genocide in Gaza.' La victoire morale est là mais on connaît la technique des annonces différées de Macron. Depuis des mois ce type de comportement encourage la durée du crime à Gaza. Pourquoi en septembre et pas maintenant ? Et l'embargo sur les armes ? Et la rupture de l'accord de coopération ?… — Jean-Luc Mélenchon (@JLMelenchon) July 24, 2025 Pressing France to fulfill its international responsibilities, Mélenchon demanded French military involvement to establish humanitarian corridors into Gaza. 'The French army should deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, confronting the Israeli government with a sovereign and strong state instead of defenseless civilians,' he added. Meanwhile, Rima Hassan, a European Parliament member affiliated with La France Insoumise, criticized Macron's conditions for recognition, particularly the demand for Palestinian disarmament. Hassan argued the approach 'empties the concept of sovereignty of its meaning,' emphasizing that the Palestinian people will not relinquish their right to resist as long as settlement and occupation policies continue. These statements come as conditions in Gaza continue to deteriorate. At least 57 Palestinians were killed and nine others died from starvation in the past 24 hours, amid ongoing Israeli operations and a deepening blockade on aid. The Gaza Health Ministry reported Saturday that the death toll since October 7, 2023, has reached 59,733, with 144,777 others wounded.
