Negotiations with America, a slippery slope — Ayatollah Khamenei explains:

First, they'll demand the dismantlement of Iran's nuclear technology. Then, they'll want us to limit our ballistic missile program.

Once that is done, they will make the demand to stop funding resistance movements like Hamas and Hezbollah. But, as expected, they still won't be satisfied.

They'll somehow bring up the issue of 'human rights', freedom, and democracy. Eventually, they will finally demand that religion and state become seperate.

Their demands will never end.

— 🇺🇸 President Trump, speaking to reporters about the Epstein files:

'I don't understand why people are so interested in Epstein, he's been dead for a long time, he was never a big factor in terms of 'life'. I really don't understand the interest or the fascination. It's all fake.

I don't understand why the Jeffrey Epstein case would be of interest to anybody. It's pretty boring stuff. It's sorted, but it's boring. Why does it keep going? Only bad people and Fake News wants to keep it going.'

—❗️🇮🇷/🇪🇺 BREAKING: Iran will meet with the E3 (Germany, France, United Kingdom) to hold preliminary discussions on the nuclear program sometime throughout next week

As of now, Iran is not willing to meet with the United States, only with European nations.

The primary focus of the talks will be finding a solution to prevent the activation of the JCPOA snapback mechanism.

— We express our condolences to all subscribers on the eve of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Sajjad, Ali ibn Al-Hussain, also known as 'Zain Al-Abideen' 🤍

Imam Sajjad, the 4th Imam in Twelver Shia Islam, was known for his extreme piety, his selfless acts of charity, and his devotion to God, earning him the honorary titles 'Zain Al-Abideen' (Adornment of the Worshippers) and 'Sayyed Al-Sajideen' (Foremost of the Prostrators).

During the tragedy of Karbala, in which he saw most of his family members mercilessly slaughtered at the hands of the tyrant king Yazid in a heroic last stand, Imam Sajjad was severely ill and was unable to participate in the fighting.

Following this tragedy, he took care of most of the family members and orphaned children of Imam Al-Hussain, including his young daughters, to whom he became like a second father.

Afflicted with immense grief, he compiled some of the most spiritual and touching supplications to God, known as 'Sahifa Al-Sajjadiya', and through his resilience he spread the message of Karbala to future generations.
