IRGC mourns commander Major General Hossein Salami
Tehran - Saba: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) mourned in a statement on Friday its commander, Major General Hossein Salami, who was martyred in the Zionist aggression against Iran, stressing its readiness to respond firmly and forcefully to the Zionist enemy's aggression. The statement marking the unjust martyrdom of the commander-in-chief of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Hossein Salami, and a group of Guard Corps members, according to the Iranian news agency IRNA, read: "With hearts filled with sorrow and grief, we mourn the unjust martyrdom of the loyal and steadfast commander, Major General Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, along with a number of his guards and colleagues, in the criminal and terrorist attack on the IRGC headquarters this morning by the child-murdering Zionist entity, while they were performing a sensitive mission to protect the security of the homeland and the country." The statement continued: "There is no doubt that Major General Salami was one of the most prominent leaders of the Islamic Revolution and a man of scientific, cultural, security, and military jihad. He was present in all fields with a sincere, wise, and sovereign spirit on the front lines defending the principles of the revolution and the people." The statement added: "Despite this brutal crime, the noble and revolutionary Muslim Iranian people, while emphasizing the preservation of public security, are reassured that the leadership of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, with all its strength and experience, along with other armed forces and the faithful mujahideen of the Islamic nation, is prepared to respond firmly and forcefully to the aggression of the Zionist enemy." The statement noted that "the necessary measures to combat crimes and prevent the occurrence of such incidents and events have been considered and prepared for a long time, and the heroic and understanding Iranian people will be informed of the details of the enemy's criminal operations and the countermeasures against them." It is worth noting that a number of Iranian military commanders, scholars, and civilians have been martyred as a result of the brutal attacks launched by the Zionist regime on Tehran and a number of Iranian cities. Following this heinous crime, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution issued a statement saying: "O great people of Iran, the filthy and bloody hand of the Zionist regime committed a crime in our beloved country this morning, revealing its evil nature more than ever by striking residential areas. Let the regime await severe punishment." Whatsapp Telegram Email Print

Yale scholar says she has been terminated over AI-powered accusation
A Muslim Iranian scholar at Yale said on Tuesday that she has been terminated by the institution after being barred from campus two weeks ago. The move was prompted by allegations on a lesser-known, largely AI-powered news site called Jewish Onliner, which said that Doutaghi had ties to the Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, better known as Samidoun. The group was sanctioned in the US and declared a terrorist group in Canada in October 2024. Helyeh Doutaghi's lawyer told Middle East Eye at the time that Yale appeared to be retaliating because of Doutaghi's pro-Palestinian speech. On Tuesday, in a statement posted to X, Doutaghi said she "will not legitimise a process driven by Zionist actors", referring to the pro-Israeli lawyer the university hired to question her. Yale, she added, has not "presented a single shred of evidence demonstrating any unlawful connection or act on my part. I have been terminated based on unproven allegations". "The legal technologies developed to manage and punish Global South actors who challenge Western oppression and domination are increasingly being redeployed inward, turning their gaze onto scholars, activists, organizations, and movements that critique the US or Israeli regimes," Doutaghi wrote.
