Iran: We Do Not Trust Israel or the United States at All - Jordan News
In a phone call on Tuesday with Tajikistan's Minister of Defense, Imam Ali Saberzada, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, affirmed that Iran has no trust whatsoever in the promises or commitments of the United States or Israel, and emphasized that the country is fully prepared to respond decisively to any new potential threat. اضافة اعلان According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, Mousavi stated: 'This disgraceful aggression has proven to the world that the United States and the Zionist entity have fought Iran with all their might over the course of 12 days, disregarding all international standards and laws. Yet, they failed to achieve their objectives and suffered heavy blows, which forced them to request a ceasefire to save the Zionist entity.' Tajik Defense Minister Saberzada expressed condolences over the death of General Bagheri and other Iranian military leaders and civilians: 'The martyrdom of General Bagheri and several senior commanders, along with innocent civilians, is a great loss for the government, people, and armed forces of Tajikistan. We extend our heartfelt condolences and sympathy.' In return, Mousavi thanked Tajikistan for its support during the 12-day conflict, noting that the late General Bagheri had placed special importance on bilateral military ties: 'General Bagheri valued relations with Tajikistan and worked to strengthen cooperation between our armed forces. Positive and impactful steps were taken in that direction, and I will continue on the same path.' The statements reflect Iran's ongoing distrust of the U.S. and Israel, especially in the wake of the recent 12-day military confrontation, and signal a continuation of Iran's strategy of regional alliances and military readiness.

Iran's Supreme Leader spends his days sleeping and getting high, Mossad-linked account says
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spends all day sleeping and using drugs while most of the country lacks access to clean water and electricity, according to a social media account linked to Israel's national intelligence agency. "How can a leader lead when they sleep half the day and spend the other half high on substances?" the Mossad's Farsi account wrote Friday on X. "Water, electricity, life!" "Consuming drugs and conversing with spirits are not desirable traits for someone leading a country," the account wrote on July 9. The post came from a new X account with a premium subscription created last month, claiming to be the official Mossad spokesperson in Farsi — the official language of Iran — though the Israeli intelligence agency has not officially confirmed the account's affiliation. The account has made several posts over the last month about Khamenei's health and the state of Iran, including its lack of clean water, electricity and education. "To everyone contacting us through private messages, for your own security, please ensure you are using a VPN," the account's bio reads. A post on the account addressed the designation of the newly appointed, but officially unnamed, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which is the command headquarters of the Iranian Armed Forces. After the Tasnim News Agency, Iran's semi-official news agency associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, reported that Iran would not reveal the commander's identity for his protection, the Mossad-linked account said it already knew the name and urged Iranians to send in their guesses. The account responded to the "lucky winner" who guessed the name Ali Abdollahi Aliabadi and told him to "contact us privately to receive your prize." The satirical jabs and provocative claims coming from the account are unlike the way the Mossad usually communicates with the public, but two intelligence experts told JFeed, an Israeli news outlet, that the unusual Mossad-linked account appears to be authentic. "Some of the information it has shared could only have come from Mossad," Beny Sabti, an Iran expert at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies and a former IDF Persian-language officer, told the outlet. Khamenei's alleged drug use has been suggested in the past, with an Iranian academic saying in 2022 that the Iranian Supreme Leader often uses drugs. "Many viewers do not know this, but Khamenei himself uses drugs," Nour Mohamed Omara said on Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated TV in Turkey at the time. "He has a special village in Balochistan, where the drugs used by the leader are produced," the academic added. "This village is run by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and no one is allowed in." The Ayatollah publicly declared drug use as "un-Islamic" after the 1979 Iranian Revolution. Penalties for drug-related offenses can include death.
