"For the love of Iran's daughter, I am here..." 🇮🇷✨

He carries no title, no rank—only a heart heavy with love and grief. 💔

A shepherd from the plains of Shiraz, with just five years of schooling, made his way to Tehran to stand beside the granddaughter of Iran's martyred Leader. 🏔️🏙️

"Why was she taken from us?" he asks, tears in his eyes but faith in his soul.

His journey speaks volumes—not of politics, but of devotion. And in his simple words, a profound truth echoes: Iran's future is bright, and its people, even in slumber, are never truly asleep.

This is the soul of a nation—unshaken, unforgetting, and united in grief and resolve.

The tide of mourners reaches Qom

Millions converged on the holy city Tuesday for a historic farewell. Grand Ayatollah Javadi Amoli led prayers at Jamkaran Mosque, as the cortege moved to Hazrat Fatima Masumeh's shrine. Chants of "Labbaik Ya Khamenei" echoed through streets draped in black and crimson.

Mourners traveled through the night from every province, filling courtyards, rooftops, and boulevards. Volunteers distributed water and food against the summer heat. The ceremony followed Tehran's massive gatherings, now continuing to Iraq's holy shrines before final burial in Mashhad.

A nation's grief became a renewed pledge: the path of resistance endures.

Pezeshkian meets Iraqi PM in Najaf during visit for martyred Leader's funeral

President Masoud Pezeshkian, who traveled to Iraq to attend the funeral ceremony for the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, held a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi on Tuesday .

A heartfelt and emotional welcome was given by Iraqi officials and citizens as the bodies of the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution and his family members arrived at Najaf International Airport.

Brutal and regular torture of Dr. Abu Safiya is horrible

Detained for 18 months without charge, the pediatrician who treated Gaza's wounded now fears for his life. His lawyer reports severe injuries, daily beatings, and solitary confinement—stating he is "almost unrecognizable" and in "tangible danger."

Transferred to Israel's notorious underground Rakefet prison, Abu Safiya told his lawyer: "They brought me here to kill me."

Amnesty International and UN experts condemn this as part of a systematic pattern of arbitrary detention. A physician's only crime was saving lives. History will not forgive this.

By Silvia Boltuc, Managing Director of SpecialEurasia:

Some teams win trophies. Others win respect 🏆

For me, the true winners of this World Cup were Team Melli. Not because they played the most beautiful football or outclassed every opponent, but because they stood their ground when everything seemed to be against them.

Humiliation, isolation, endless travel, physical exhaustion and relentless pressure would have broken many. Instead, they carried themselves with quiet dignity. 💪

While others tried to turn football into a political battleground, they let their character do the talking. No grand gestures. No theatrics. Just resilience, humility and an unwavering commitment to the shirt they wore. 🇮🇷

In a tournament where the spirit of the game often felt overshadowed, Team Melli reminded us what sport can still represent. ⚽️
