— 🇮🇷/🇺🇳 Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Ismael Baqaei:

‘Inspectors will not be allowed access to the targeted nuclear sites, and UN Security Council Resolution 2231 (JCPOA) is completely void.’

— 🇮🇷 Ayatollah Khomeini’s grandson, Seyyed Ali Khomeini, criticizes the government officials:

‘It is not permissible to rely on the people in times of crisis, and then when the situation calms down, say that these same people are hardliners and extremists. We must listen to the demands of the people’

— 🇮🇷 Ayatollah Khomeini’s grandson, Seyyed Ali Khomeini:

‘Anyone who wants to negotiate in order to achieve peace with America is a traitor.

And anyone who sends them messages of friendship has a foul and impure mouth.

Our problem with America isn’t an issue of today or yesterday; it started decades ago when they committed a coup against Iran.

But with what they’ve done recently (killing of Khamenei), they’ve planted a seed of enmity that will never go away.’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 NEW: Iran has informed the U.S. that its recent attacks against 3 commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz were the result of a ‘technical malfunction’ – Reuters

@Middle_East_Spectator

Ah, blowing up three ships.

Happens to the best of us.

—❗️🇮🇷 Part of the message by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei:

‘I say to our martyred Leader: We pledge to avenge your pure blood and that of all the martyrs that fell in these two recent wars of aggression.

This revenge is the will of our nation, and will certainly be carried out.

The criminals responsible, whose list is openly available from top to bottom, will wish to die a peaceful death in bed. But they’ll take that unfulfilled wish to their graves.

They should know that this matter does not depend on me or other officials. Whether we are there or not, this matter will be realized and soon each and every free person in the world will fulfill a part of this divine mission.’

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇷 President Trump:

‘1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME!

Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran - PRAISE BE TO ALLAH!‘

— 🇺🇸/🇯🇴/🇮🇷 NEW: Satellite imagery from yesterday shows at least two new impact craters at Muwaffaq Salti Airbase, Jordan, after Iran’s attack

The hits are most likely against hangars / support facilities, but we need to wait for higher resolution imagery to confirm.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇷 The fact that people like Seyyed Ali Khomeini and Dr. Saeed Jalili were selected to speak at the remembrance ceremony of martyr Khamenei, shows you the positions of the Supreme Leader on the current ‘negotiations’ very clearly
