✅ | If both states comply and learn from what Mr. Ali Larijani is there to convey, demand, inform and offer, it will be a safeguarding step for themselves during the upcoming mega war. But if they reject and skip it, as Assad did, they may fall like Syria. The upcoming war is the biggest yet – a greater and existential threat for both Iraq and Lebanon.

🇱🇧 | An anthem titled “Welcome Larijani” was produced in Lebanon to mark the arrival of Ali Larijani, the Representative of the Supreme Leader and the absolute Guardian Jurist of the Shia world. Written by poet Mohammad Abbas, composed and arranged by Mohammad Aliq, and recorded with sound engineering by Mahdi Harb, the piece was executed under the production of Hussein Al-Qadi and performed by vocalist Ali Barakat. The anthem’s creation and the ceremonial welcome it accompanied tells the political and symbolic weight of Mr. Larijani’s visit.

🏴‍☠️ | According to Russian outlet Kommersant, Tel Aviv is prepared to approve the return of Russian forces to their former observation posts in the al-Qunaitra countryside along the Syrian-Israeli border. The move reportedly comes at the request of HTS, with Moscow informing Israel of its presence there — a development that strongly suggests Russia has no intention of maintaining a free syria and resistance-aligned role in the area. Instead, it appears to be positioning itself with new partners in Syria, namely israel and its proxy HTS, rather than Free Syria, Islamic republic of Iran or the broader resistance axis.

🇱🇧 🇸🇦❗Those who follow the details of daily politics and delve into the behind-the-scenes of political communications are astonished by the way the Saudi High Commissioner deals with the pillars of power, from the top leadership down to the smallest factions and parties.

He interferes in every detail, dictates every step, and orders them to execute with precision, including formal and protocol matters, such as Ibn Farhan’s (Saudi Foreign Minister's) orders to the Lebanese Prime Minister to recite the government session’s decisions instead of the Minister of Information!

🇦🇲 | Armenia moved quickly to address the Zangezur Corridor issue with both Iran and Russia, as its Deputy Foreign Minister and coordinator for bilateral relations with Tehran is set to visit Iran on Wednesday. In a Saturday phone call with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian voiced complete confidence in the peaceful and transparent nature of Iran’s nuclear program, stating, “Therefore, we have no concerns regarding inspection. However, we must stress that the imposition of force and pressure, as well as the denial of our nation’s legal rights, is entirely unacceptable.” Meanwhile, the Russian Foreign Ministry announced that Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov spoke with his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan on advancing a peace deal between Armenia and Azerbaijan, stressing the need for lasting peace in accordance with the 2020–2022 trilateral agreements. Lavrov reaffirmed Russia’s role in normalizing Yerevan–Baku ties, though no substantial reference was made to the potential implications of U.S. involvement in the region, which remains an unspoken but looming factor.

✅ | Tariq Mitri, the former Minister of Culture of Lebanon, recounts an encounter in March 2010: “I went to Tehran with PM Saad Hariri, and we had a meeting with Imam Khamenei (H). Before the meeting, Hariri and I sat together, and he mentioned that we should make the disarming of Hezbollah our main issue. I remained silent, but others agreed.

When we entered Imam Khamenei’s (H) office, he warmly welcomed Saad Hariri. Hariri spoke about Lebanon and the issue of Hezbollah’s weapons. Imam Khamenei (H) looked at him and asked, ‘Have you read The Hunchback of Notre Dame?’ It was clear that Saad Hariri had not read the novel.

Imam Khamenei (H) continued, ‘This is the story of a very beautiful woman, perhaps the most beautiful in Paris, and it’s natural that all those in power were looking for her.’ He then asked, ‘What was the name of this woman?’ I answered, ‘Esmeralda.’ Imam Khamenei (H) smiled and said, ‘Ahsant.’

He elaborated, ‘All those who knew the characteristics of this woman in beauty and tenderness wanted to abuse her. This woman (Esmeralda) had a beautiful and sharp dagger to defend herself against them. Mr. Prime Minister! Lebanon is as beautiful as this woman, the bride of the Mediterranean Sea. All countries want it, and israel is a threat to it, but the Hezbollah weapons are like Esmeralda’s dagger.’”

✅ | One thing we must mention is that Anas al-Sharif, may Allah have mercy on him, forgive his sins, elevate him among the most honorable martyrs of Gaza, and protect his family, was a journalist for Al Jazeera. Despite covering Gaza, Al Jazeera is also a tool for Zionist psychological operations, promoting sectarianism against the Shia fronts in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq — which is no secret. Al Jazeera has done as much damage to Syria as the Israeli media. Anas himself celebrated the fall of Syria and endorsed the HTS takeover in his tweets. However, the leadership of the resistance — especially Imam Khamenei (may his shadow endure), the commanders of Hezbollah, the Iraqi resistance, and the Popular Front in Syria — despite these differences, do not judge those who have been slain in the path of Gaza. This is an achievement Imam Khamenei (H) has realized personally, socially, and politically, especially when it comes to the resistance. Many Palestinians themselves have long engaged in anti-Iran, anti-resistance, anti-Shia rhetoric, but this has never been a reason to reject or remove them despite internal pressures.

May Allah bless the Guardian and the leadership of the resistance. May Allah keep them united. May Allah help them to transcend the sectarian divisions and break down the walls among them that enemies use to divide, plunder, and kill everyone no matters Shia or Sunni, Hanafi or Jafari, Druze or Alawi!

The israeli-American-Saudi knot is Yemen. Everyone tries to avoid igniting war there because of past experience, and they endure what is done in support of Palestine with much secrecy and concealment.

Whoever manipulates the files of Lebanon, Gaza, and possibly later Iraq, must bear the consequences and keep Yemen in mind. Review what comes out of Sanaa from time to time.

- Netanyahu says that “Israel has set back Iran’s nuclear program by years and is always prepared for Tehran’s attempts to rebuild it,” but he admits that Iran possesses 400 kilograms of enriched uranium, noting that “Tel Aviv knew in advance that it would not be damaged.” This is an implicit admission of failure, because even if he talks about delaying the nuclear program by years, it is not considered a victory. Israeli and Western estimates have long suggested that the Iranian nuclear program can be hindered but not eliminated.

- Ali Larijani, one of the highest-ranking officials in Iran, recently visited Lebanon, the country of resistance, carrying significant implications. Iran’s presence in regional affairs remains unchanged, and the impact of this visit will be heard in important regional capitals as well as in Washington.
