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
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).

Amnesty slams Tehran for use of ‘unlawful' strikes on Israel
Also in Iran Iran says IAEA team to visit soon Iran says 75 escaped from notorious Tehran prison after Israeli attack Trump ready to strike Iran as Tehran invites US for talks Iran announces nuclear talks with E3 in Istanbul A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Amnesty International on Thursday condemned Iran for the use of 'unlawful ballistic missile strikes' targeting residential areas in its 12-day war with Israel. 'Cluster munitions are inherently indiscriminate weapons that must never be used. By using such weapons in or near populated residential areas, Iranian forces endangered civilian lives and demonstrated clear disregard for international humanitarian law,' Erika Guevara Rosas, Amnesty International's Senior Director for Research, Advocacy, Policy and Campaigns, was cited in a statement by the rights organization as saying. She further emphasized that the use of the 'inherently indiscriminate weapons' is considered 'a blatant violation of international humanitarian law.' Such weapons could endanger civilians, especially children, due to the risk posed by unexploded submunitions, she stressed. The amnesty report noted that its findings are based on an analysis of recorded footage and media reports of the strikes around Tel Aviv on June 19, 20, and 22. Tensions between Israel and Iran skyrocketed on June 13, when Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear facilities, killing a number of nuclear scientists and senior military commanders. In response, Tehran launched several waves of missile and drone attacks against Israeli targets. Washington on June 24 brokered a ceasefire to the war.

Damascus–SDF talks postponed: Disputes deepening
Shafaq News – Damascus A planned meeting in Paris between the Syrian government and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) has been postponed indefinitely amid escalating disagreements, sources told Shafaq News on Thursday. Originally scheduled for July 25, the meeting was expected to bring together SDF commander Mazloum Abdi, Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shibani, and delegations from both sides, alongside French President Emmanuel Macron and US Special Envoy Tom Barrack. Sources said Damascus withdrew over what it described as 'non-negotiable demands' by the SDF—namely its refusal to disarm or join the Syrian army as an independent entity. Syrian state-affiliated media cited a government source reaffirming Damascus' position. 'The Syrian state will not accept any rhetoric based on threats or preconditions that violate the unity of the state and its sovereign institutions,' the source said. The government emphasized that dialogue must proceed 'under the banner of national unity and without foreign interference,' firmly rejecting the existence of parallel armed structures. It also denounced attempts to exploit recent unrest in Suwayda or coastal regions to challenge state legitimacy. Behind the scenes, Turkish pressure is also believed to have played a role in Damascus' decision, with Ankara reportedly opposing EU or US mediation with Kurdish-led factions. Meanwhile, in a televised interview, SDF Media Head Farhad Shami declared, 'Disarmament is a red line,' stressing that the SDF engages with Damascus as a "peer, not a subordinate." Shami added that Barrack had requested SDF assistance in calming tensions in Suwayda and hinted at expanded anti-ISIS operations in coordination with the Global Coalition, including areas outside SDF control. Earlier, a senior Syrian Kurdish official told Shafaq News that last month's meetings in Damascus stalled due to the regime's rejection of any decentralized or federal model. The SDF also objected to the government's draft constitutional declaration, calling for amendments to ensure Kurdish representation, political pluralism, and civil rights. Back in March, transitional Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa and Mazloum Abdi signed a preliminary agreement to integrate northeast Syria's civil and military institutions into the Syrian state. The deal recognized Kurds as an essential component of Syria and promised protections for their constitutional rights.

On July 22, 2025, the IRGC posted to its Telegram channel a video explaining what the Iranian regime's slogan 'Death to America' means. In the video, a woman explained that the chant is a call for a humiliating and despicable death for the people who committed a genocide against the Native Americans, enslaved black people, dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and waged war against Vietnam, the Philippines, Korea, Iraq, and Afghanistan. She said that it is also a call for the death of those who have supported the 'Zionist regime,' as well as death to the presidents, cabinet members, and senators whose hands are 'soiled in the blood of millions of innocent people.' She concluded that right now, the slogan is also specifically a call for the death of U.S. President Donald Trump.
