🇮🇷🇮🇱| WATCH: Exclusive footages of Iran’s underground missile complexes during the 12-day war.

An IRGC member recalls how they operated inside the deep underground missile tunnels during the 12-day war.

He explains the tunnels were not damaged and everything inside was operational, the only issue was the entrance that sometimes got hit which would delay launches until it’d get dig out.

The tunnels in the footage displays Haj Qassem & Kheybar Shekan missiles.

The IRGC operators says the morale among the IRGC was very high and they did everything to not delay launches.

One of the IRGC members says at one time, an Israeli Hermes drone had hit one of the launchers that caused him to get injured on the spot, but got up and continued working to launch the rest of the missiles.

One of them rejected Israeli ridiculous claims about having bombed Iranian missile capabilities “to dust” and says we’re not even above the ground to bomb us to dust.

— 🇺🇸/🇻🇪 WATCH: President Trump publishes footage of a strike on a boat off the coast of Venezuela, marking the fifth instance of such American aggression since early September

The U.S. Secretary of War and President Trump claim the vessel carried 'narco-terrorists.' So far, the Trump administration has not provided any proof of these claims.

— ❗️🇵🇸/🇺🇸/🇮🇱 Statement by Hamas Regarding President Trump's Proposal:

'Out of concern to stop the aggression and the genocide that our steadfast people in the Gaza Strip are facing, and stemming from our national responsibility, and our commitment to the principles, rights, and supreme interests of our people, the Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas has held extensive internal consultations within its leadership institutions, broad consultations with Palestinian forces and factions, and discussions with our mediator brothers and friends, in order to reach a responsible position in dealing with U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan.’

After an in-depth study, the movement has reached its decision and conveyed the following response to the mediators:

’Hamas appreciates the Arab, Islamic, and international efforts, as well as the efforts of U.S. President Donald Trump, calling for an end to the war on the Gaza Strip, the exchange of prisoners, the immediate entry of aid, the rejection of the occupation of the Strip, and the rejection of the displacement of our Palestinian people.

In this context, and in pursuit of ending the war and achieving the full withdrawal from the Strip, the movement announces its approval of releasing all occupation prisoners, both living and the remains of the deceased, in accordance with the exchange formula included in President Trump’s proposal, provided that the necessary field conditions for the exchange process are secured. In this regard, the movement affirms its readiness to immediately engage, through mediators, in negotiations to discuss the details.

Furthermore, the movement renews its approval to hand over the administration of the Gaza Strip to a Palestinian body of independents, based on Palestinian national consensus and supported by Arab and Islamic backing.

As for other issues included in President Trump’s proposal related to the future of the Gaza Strip and the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, these are linked to a unified national position and based on relevant international laws and resolutions. They are to be discussed through an inclusive Palestinian national framework, in which Hamas will take part and contribute responsibly.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇵🇸/🇺🇸/🇮🇱 Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook: 'The release of prisoners and bodies within 72 hours is unrealistic under the current circumstances.

We have reached a national consensus to hand over the administration of Gaza to independents, with the Palestinian Authority as the reference, not an international administration.

Shaping the future of the people is a national issue that Hamas cannot decide alone.

All details related to the peacekeeping force require understandings and clarification.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— ❗️🇺🇸/🇵🇸/🇮🇱 President Trump: 'Based on the Statement just issued by Hamas, I believe they are ready for a lasting PEACE. Israel must immediately stop the bombing of Gaza, so that we can get the Hostages out safely and quickly! Right now, it’s far too dangerous to do that. We are already in discussions on details to be worked out. This is not about Gaza alone, this is about long sought PEACE in the Middle East.'

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇱/🇺🇸/🇵🇸 NEW: Israeli Channel 14 says, 'Trump has fallen into Hamas's trap.'

There has been no response from Israeli officials so far. The reaction from Hebrew outlets is mixed, ranging from anger to disappointment.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇱/🇵🇸 IMPORTANT NOTE: Hamas has NOT yet agreed to a ceasefire, but agreed to engage in negotiations regarding the Trump plan and says it's willing to release hostages

Furthermore, Hamas said it cannot accept any non-Palestinian force ruling Gaza.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇱/🇺🇸/🇵🇸 NEW: Israeli media is in a state of 'meltdown' about the Hamas statement and Trump's post on TruthSocial

It seems that the Israelis assumed from the beginning that Hamas would reject the ceasefire proposal so that they would have an excuse to continue the genocide.

@Middle_East_Spectator

— 🇮🇱/🇺🇸/🇵🇸 What is Hamas' official position following today's agreement?

– Hamas stated its readiness for an immediate hostage release, based on the terms in the Trump plan: Releasing all Israeli hostages (dead or alive) for a total of 250 Palestinian prisoners with life sentences + thousands of other Palestinian prisoners.

– Hamas agreed to immediately enter negotiations to discuss the details of the Trump plan.

– Before prisoners are exchanged, to facilitate the exchange, a temporary ceasefire will take effect and the IDF will withdraw towards the outskirts of Gaza.

– Hamas has NOT agreed to allow an international force to rule the Gaza Strip, and emphasized that any future administration must be Palestinian-led, and must have its own weapons.

– Hamas emphasizes it will continue to play a part in decision making in Gaza and will 'contribute responsibly' to this independent Palestinian administration.

Why is this so important?

Immediately following Hamas' statement, President Trump rushed to TruthSocial to state that Hamas is 'ready for peace', signaling that Trump agrees with the group's additional demands, including an armed Palestinian administration that would rule Gaza + an immediate ceasefire during negotiations. The Israelis see this as a major concession from the American side.

@Middle_East_Spectator

—❗️🇮🇱/🇺🇸/🇵🇸 NEW: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was 'surprised' by President Trump's response to Hamas' statement

Other Hebrew media confirm this, some report that officials close to Netanyahu are calling it a 'surrender agreement', because it demands an immediate ceasefire before a hostage exchange and it does not mention the disarmament of Hamas.
