It is advisable to say after drinking it:

? «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ عِلْماً نَافِعاً وَ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً وَ شِفَاءً مِنْ کُلِّ دَاءٍ».

It is advisable to drink a little from the water of the Tawaf and before trying to pour it on his head and back and belly and say:

"Allah the Almighty of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his abuser and the same as the whole of the dawn"

"Lord! "Make this useful scientific and therapeutic scientific and therapeutic for any pain and disease."

‌

Drinking Zamzam water is especially true before trying to try and after Tawaf.

‌

Zamzam's water as a gift and asking for a gift and washing it with it.

The sheer intensity of missile strikes and deadly bombings across the besieged Gaza Strip not only marked the settler-colonial regime’s continuation of the genocide of Palestinians but also a decisive rejection of the ceasefire it had agreed to.

The child-murdering regime’s criminal leadership—particularly Benjamin Netanyahu, who is on the International Criminal Court’s wanted list—has sought every pretext under the sun to resume massacring innocent civilians in Gaza.

Despite the so-called "lull" during the first phase of the ceasefire, Israel had been itching to shed more Palestinian blood, adding to the tens of thousands of martyrs since October 7, 2023.

Overnight, while displaced Palestinians—subjected to the Zionist regime’s inhumane blockade of food, fuel, medication, and other essentials—were preparing Suhoor meals in makeshift plastic tents and bombed-out buildings during Ramadan, Netanyahu unleashed another wave of terror upon them.

Within minutes, more than 400 civilians were killed, mainly women and children. Over a thousand more were injured, with no means for medical treatment.

Reports indicate that the current military strikes are deadlier and broader in scale than the ongoing drone attacks Gaza has suffered while Netanyahu repeatedly violated the original ceasefire terms.

In response to this aggression, the Gaza-based resistance movement Hamas condemned Israel for disregarding its obligations and overturning the truce agreement.

Israel, which has repeatedly violated the ceasefire that took effect on January 19, sought to fabricate new terms to justify blowing up the deal entirely.

Journalists Jeremy Scahill of Drop News and Abubaker Abed of Press TV noted that since January, Netanyahu had waged a campaign of sabotage and provocation, openly violating the agreement by obstructing and outright blocking aid deliveries into the Strip.

Although food and other supplies were permitted during the first 42-day phase of the deal, Israel refused to allow nearly all 60,000 mobile homes and admitted only a fraction of the 200,000 tents into Gaza.

While Netanyahu has attempted to blame Hamas with fabricated charges of undermining the ceasefire, the reality is that Israel imposed a "total blockade on any aid, including food and medical supplies to the Strip and resumed its policy of using starvation as a weapon of war."

On Sunday, Israel also cut off Gaza’s electricity supply, forcing a major desalination plant to drastically reduce water output, severely limiting drinking water for 600,000 people in Deir al-Balah and Khan Younis.

Hamas has remained committed to the agreement and was eager to maintain it, "but Netanyahu, looking for a way out of his internal crises, preferred to reignite the war at the expense of the blood of our people," Hamas stated.

According to Haaretz, Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani demanded immediate international action to force Israel to implement a ceasefire, abide by the agreement, and return to negotiations.

That a key mediator is directing demands solely at Israel confirms that, contrary to Netanyahu’s claims, Hamas has not violated the agreement—the other side has.

This is further reinforced by media reports that families of Israeli captives in Gaza have denounced their own regime, not Hamas.

Indeed, Netanyahu’s right-wing terror-thugs, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, not only welcomed the renewal of scorched-earth policies but gleefully admitted the plans were prepared weeks ago. Ben-Gvir is now set to rejoin the cabinet.

Their excitement over the slaughter of innocent mothers and babies reveals more than mere approval. It confirms that Israel never intended to honor the agreement and deliberately plotted to blame Hamas as a pretext for ongoing savagery in Gaza.

Since the ceasefire began 60 days ago, the Palestinian resistance and rights organizations have meticulously tracked Israel’s repeated violations, as reported by the Palestinian Prisoner Network, Samidoun.

"At the same time, in order to protect their people, the Resistance has not once violated the ceasefire agreements nor retaliated against the Zionist war criminals."

Izzat al-Risheq, a founding member of Hamas’s political bureau, reacted, stating the enemy "will not achieve through war and destruction what it has failed to achieve through negotiations."

Israeli activist Alon Mizrahi captured the devastation of this renewed genocide, immediately followed by harrowing images, as a tsunami of shock, disbelief, and pain. He put it in these words:

"Let’s allow these feelings to crystallize into even stronger resolution and conviction."

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas says Palestinians are marking the Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, amid "brutal Zionist aggression, siege, starvation, killing, and destruction."

“On the blessed Eid al-Fitr, we remember the steadfastness of our great people and their heroic resistance, and we ask Allah to accept their acts of devotion, their struggle, their steadfastness, and their sacrifices,” Hamas said in a statement on Sunday.

It added, “This year, Eid al-Fitr arrives as our Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and al-Quds face brutal Zionist aggression amidst siege, starvation, killing, and destruction, under a shameful international silence and the unconditional American support for the occupation.”

The Gaza-based group then urged Arab and Muslim nations to “double down on their efforts to support our people in Gaza, shoulder their responsibilities for escalating popular actions, exert pressure to end the aggression and lift the siege, and champion the just Palestinian cause.”

Hamas finally reiterated its pledge to remain firmly committed to Palestinians and tread the path of resistance until final victory is achieved and an independent sovereign Palestinian state with al-Quds as its capital is established.

The Israeli military has continued launching airstrikes on various areas of Gaza since the early hours of Gaza, resulting in multiple deaths and injuries.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza performed Eid al-Fitr prayers over the rubble of destroyed mosques, in displacement shelters, and beside the ruins of their homes amid the relentless Israeli bombardment.

The Israeli army launched a surprise aerial attack on the Gaza Strip on March 18, killing over 920 people, injuring more than 2,000 others, and shattering the ceasefire agreement with Hamas and the deal on the exchange of Israeli captives for Palestinian abductees.

According to the Health Ministry in Gaza, more than 50,200 Palestinians have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 114,000 other individuals injured in the brutal Israeli military onslaught on Gaza since October 7, 2023.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the only proxy force in the region is the Zionist regime, which invades other countries on behalf of the world’s colonial powers and "must be uprooted."

Ayatollah Khamenei made the comments during a speech at Imam Khomeini’s Mosalla Grand Prayer Grounds in Tehran on Monday after leading Eid al-Fitr’s prayers. The Islamic festivities known as Eid al-Fitr mark the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.

“The Westerners accuse the zealous youths of the regional nations of being proxies. I would like to say that there is only one proxy force in this region which is the corrupt usurping [Israeli] regime,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

The Leader added that Israel is committing genocide and if given the opportunity, it will invade other countries’ territories, just as it invaded Syria as the proxy force of the colonizers.

“This criminal gang must be uprooted from Palestine and it will be uprooted. Everyone must strive to eliminate this evil entity from the region,” he asserted.

'Crushing blow'

The Leader pointed to US threats against Iran, warning that any wicked act would certainly receive a "crushing and decisive blow."

“If the enemies are thinking of stirring any sedition inside the country, the Iranian nation will respond to them,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.

The Leader lamented that the “bloody” incidents in Gaza, Lebanon, and Palestine made the people’s lives bitter during the holy month of Ramadan.

He went on to say that the assassination of officials is a common practice of the Israeli regime, which is backed by the US and Western governments.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the vicious Zionist regime is blatantly committing genocide, killing children, beating massive people, and assassinating figures.

However, the Leader added, arrogant Western powers are turning a blind eye to all such crimes and even smiling and supporting them.

The Leader noted that it is a religious, moral and humanitarian duty to strive to eradicate the Israeli regime.

Former Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council Bakhshi said about the spirit of Iran's response to Trump's letter that the letter was self-restrained

Ali Shamkhani, former Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council: Since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, the United States has used a combined package against Iran, which includes military threats, psychological operations, interference in Iran's internal affairs, mobilization of its so-called allies against Iran, and ... and this package is not a new combination.

According to Tabnak, citing Tasnim, he added: "We are not unfamiliar with this combination of Americans, which has a history of more than 45 years against Iran."

In response to the American threats, the former Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council said that we take every threat seriously, but not to surrender; but to confront it. The Iranian nation has never accepted and will never accept surrender, and we believe that the United States has no choice but to pursue a fair logic in dialogue with Iran.

Regarding Iran's response to Trump's letter sent yesterday, Mr. Shamkhani also said that this response was prepared by various relevant agencies of the country; the response that Iran gave in this letter is "self-contained."

He added: This response was sent to the Americans through the Omani channel; while the United States was considering another channel, Iran preferred to send its response through Oman.

Regarding the content of the response, the former Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council also said that Iran has always had indirect talks with the Americans, so the letter states that Iran is ready for indirect talks and if the talks are from an equal position, there is a readiness to take further steps for talks.

Masoud Pezzekian said regarding the details of Iran's response to the US President's letter: "The response that the Supreme Leader gave regarding the letter that Trump sent to Dr. Araqchi was delivered to Oman and reached the American liaison, and there, direct negotiations were rejected, but indirect negotiations have always been Iran's concern, and now the Supreme Leader has emphasized that indirect negotiations can continue. We are not only avoiding negotiations, but it is those non-commitments that have caused us problems. So far, they must prove that they can build trust in their decisions, which I hope will happen."

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian says the Islamic Republic’s response to a letter from US President Donald Trump leaves open the possibility of indirect talks with Washington, stressing that the continuation of the negotiation process depends on the Americans' behavior.

Pezeshkian made the remarks during a cabinet session on Sunday, as he confirmed that Iran’s response to Trump’s letter has been delivered via the Sultanate of Oman. 

“While Iran’s response rules out the possibility of direct talks between the two sides, it states that the path for indirect negotiations remains open,” Pazeshkian said.

He said, "As we have stated before, Iran has never closed the channels of indirect communication. In its response, Iran reaffirmed that it has never shied away from engaging in negotiations, but rather, it has just been the United States' repeated violations of agreements and commitments that have created problems on this path." 

Pezeshkian further noted that the broken promises by the US have damaged trust, which must be restored, adding that “It’s the behavior of the Americans that will determine whether the negotiations can move forward.”

On March 7, Trump announced he had written to Iran to call for nuclear negotiations and threaten military action. The letter was delivered to Tehran on March 12 by UAE presidential adviser Anwar Gargash.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on March 21 that US threats "will get them nowhere" and warned of reciprocal measures "if they do anything malign" against Iran.

Ayatollah Khamenei also dismissed Trump’s outreach for talks, which he said was an attempt to deceive global public opinion by portraying the United States as willing to negotiate while framing Iran as unwilling to engage.

On Thursday, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Iran’s official response to a letter from Trump has been sent through Oman.

Araghchi said the response was sent through a letter that elaborated Iran's viewpoints on the current situation and Trump’s letter.

The Trump administration recently restored the so-called maximum pressure policy, first introduced during Trump’s initial term in office in 2016.

Under this policy, Trump withdrew the United States from a landmark agreement on Iran's nuclear program in 2018 and reimposed harsh economic sanctions on Tehran.

Under the 2015 agreement between Tehran and world powers, Iran agreed to confidence-building restrictions on its nuclear activities in exchange for the lifting of economic sanctions.
