No US base in West Asia is beyond Iran's reach
Iran has significantly expanded its military response. Operation Thunderbolt struck two key US facilities in KuwaitโCamp Udairi and Ali Al-Salem Air Baseโwith explosive drones, hitting ammunition depots, radar, and logistics infrastructure.
The IRGC also shot down a US MQ-9 drone over Ahvaz using a newly deployed air-defense system. Iranian commanders emphasize a cost-imposition strategy: domestically produced drones and missiles that neutralize sophisticated American assets costing tens of millions of dollars.
Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei warned that any further US escalation will be met with "unforgettable lessons." No American base is beyond Iran's reach.

Bridges or lives? Trump's calculated war on Iran's everyday people
The US is systematically destroying Iran's civilian infrastructureโpower plants, bridges, ports, hospitals, and food production facilities. In July alone, airstrikes hit multiple bridges in Hormozgan, killing at least seven, and forced the evacuation of cancer patients from a hospital in Ahvaz.
This is not collateral damage; it is a calculated policy of economic strangulation. A UN human rights chief has stated that "deliberately attacking civilians and civilian infrastructure is a war crime."
Behind every power plant are thousands of families. The Iranian people's resilience in rebuilding stands as the ultimate rebuke to this unjust war.

Ancient Alamut fortifications complete Iran's architectural and defensive history, expert says
The proposed UNESCO nomination of Alamut's Cultural Landscape represents a key link in understanding Iranian architecture and military organization, says heritage veteran Seyyed Mohammad Beheshti. "The chain of Iran's architectural history cannot be fully understood without Alamut."
The serial nomination comprises seven Nizari Ismaili fortifications (11thโ13th centuries), with Alamut Castle as central commandโa rare surviving structure from the Seljuk period.
Archaeological evidence shows many fortifications date to the Parthian era, expanded into an integrated defensive system. If inscribed, it will become one of the few Iranian World Heritage properties recognized as a cultural landscape.
