Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian warns the Israeli regime will suffer “heavy” consequences if it makes the big mistake of attacking Lebanon.

The new Iranian president issued the warning in a Monday phone conversation with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron.

Pezeshkian expressed his grave concern over the escalation of tensions in Lebanon’s southern border with the occupied Israeli territories.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has formally endorsed Masoud Pezeshkian as Iran’s new president.

At a ceremony broadcast live on state television on Sunday, Ayatollah Khamenei gave his official approval for Pezeshkian, who emerged victorious in the second round of the presidential vote on July 5. 

Iranian state and military officials, seminary and university professors, representatives of various guilds, a group of families of martyrs, and foreign ambassadors in Tehran attended the ceremony.

The Leader’s decree, endorsing the mandate of President Pezeshkian, was read out at the event by the head of the leader’s office.

In the decree, Ayatollah Khamenei said, “The fate-determining test of the presidential election ended with calmness and sobriety in difficult conditions thanks to the endeavors of people and officials, and the person chosen by the nation became ready to take on a great responsibility.”

He also described the 14th presidential vote, which was held after martyred president Ebrahim Raeisi's unfinished term of office, as “one of the honors of the Iranian nation and a sign of the establishment of a sustainable Islamic system that indicate the rationality and sobriety of the country’s political environment.”

The Leader also expressed prayers and wishes for Pezeshkian’s success, adding that the nation’s vote and his endorsement will persist as long as the president follows his usual approach on the straight path of Islam and the Revolution.

Pezeshkian will take the oath of office in parliament on Tuesday.

The 69-year-old trained heart surgeon garnered more than 16 million votes against ex-nuclear negotiator Saeed Jalili, who secured upwards of 13 million out of over 30 million votes cast, with the voter turnout standing at almost 50 percent.

In a victory speech, Pezeshkian described his triumph as the start of “a new chapter” for the country.

The election was called early after Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi lost his life in a helicopter crash in May.

The 2024 Olympic Games kick off in Paris as the sports world suffers from losing hundreds of potential Palestinian Olympians to the Israeli regime’s ongoing genocidal war on the Gaza Strip.

The French capital held the event’s inauguration ceremony on Friday, with more than 10,000 athletes in attendance from over 200 countries.

Palestine, however, is represented by no more than eight athletes, having lost scores of would-be Olympians in the Israeli regime’s deadly aggression against Gaza.

About 400 Palestinian athletes have been killed since October 7, when the regime began waging the war on the territory, figures provided by the Palestinian Olympic Committee and Palestine Football Association (PFA) show.

The fatalities include 245 footballers, including 69 children and 176 young men.

Earlier this year, human rights monitor Euro-Med reported that the brutal military onslaught had razed down numerous sports facilities in the coastal sliver, including "300 five-a-side courts, 22 swimming courts, 12 covered sports halls for basketball, volleyball, and handball, and six tennis stadiums.”

Recounting the extent of the destruction in a letter to FIFA last month, the PFA said, "The entire football infrastructure in Gaza has been either destroyed or severely damaged."

The Israeli regime has staged a prolific presence in the games, with as many as 88 participants, despite vociferous international calls for imposition of a ban on Israeli participation in the event in light of Tel Aviv’s atrocities.

The special characteristics of the movement of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) made this great movement last forever. In response to the question "What factors caused the immortality of this movement?" Various answers have been given, including the following:

1. The divinity of the movement; That is, Imam Hussain, peace be upon him, and his companions had a divine motive in this great uprising and struggle, and their goal was to support the religion and revive its rules.

2. The unique leadership of Imam Hossein, peace be upon him;

3. The efforts and speech of Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon him, after the incident of Karbala;

4. The Shiites' effort to protect the achievements of the Ashura revolution and insist on keeping the memory of Ashura alive throughout history;

5. The quality of the Ashura event itself and the existence of brave, selfless, sincere and believing men on the one hand, and bad enemies who do not have any traces of human nature and decent morals in them and did not refrain from committing any crimes and vices, on the other hand. 

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei underscores the Israeli regime’s utter failure to defeat the Palestinian resistance, despite receiving enormous support on the part of the United States and others.

“The strength of the resistance becomes more and more evident every day,” read a Hebrew-language post published on Ayatollah Khamenei’s official X, former Twitter, account on Wednesday.

“A huge military, political, and economic system, like the United States, is standing behind the Zionists in the fight against Hamas, but they have failed to bring them to their knees,” it added.

The Israeli regime has been waging an unrelenting genocidal war against the Gaza Strip since October 7, responding to al-Aqsa Storm, a retaliatory operation staged by the territory’s resistance groups.

The brutal military onslaught has so far claimed the lives of at least 39670 Palestinians, mostly women and children, but has stopped far short of realizing the regime’s goal of ousting the resistance from power in the coastal territory.

Since the onset of the warfare, resistance groups hailing from Lebanon, Iraq, and Yemen have also been staging increasingly daring retaliatory attacks against the occupied territories and Israeli interests in support of the war-hit Gazans.

The post incorporated a video depicting some of the attacks.

A post published on the account earlier this week had similarly underlined the Israeli regime’s failure in the face of the regional Axis of Resistance, noting how Tel Aviv was taking the frustration that it was suffering from the defeat out on Palestinian civilians.

Masuleh village has a rich history, which is evident in many of its religious buildings, including the tomb of Aun bin Muhammad Hanafiyah bin Ali (AS). The history of this court, which is located in the heart of the village, dates back to the 2nd or 3rd century AH and is a testimony to the cultural heritage of Masuleh. In addition to the court, there are three shrines inside this beautiful village, one of which is the tomb of Aun bin Muhammad Hanafiyah bin Ali (AS).

This mausoleum is part of a religious complex that includes a mosque located to the west and east of it. Two new minarets have been erected around the dome of this mosque, which increases its impressive architectural beauty.

The exteriors of the Imamzadeh are decorated with intricate brickwork and arches, while the interiors have equally impressive arches.

Today, it is one of the 1200 tombs that are located inside the historical monuments of Iran. Many tourists visit Masuleh every year to admire the shrine of Aun bin Muhammad Hanafiyah bin Ali (peace be upon him) and to pay respect to the grandson of Hazrat Ali (peace be upon him).

The Gaza Health Ministry said on Monday that at least 70 people were killed in Israeli air raids and artillery shelling in Khan Yunis’ eastern neighborhoods, which were designated a humanitarian safe zone.

The ministry added that more than 200 injured people, including serious cases, have arrived at the medical facility, which is located in Khan Yunis.

The ministry said in a statement it received more than 1,200 appeals for help from besieged families asking to be rescued.

“This morning, the Israeli occupation army began a new aggression against Khan Younis Governorate committing crimes against humanity through indiscriminate bombing of citizens’ homes and groups of displaced people in the area,” the statement said.

The medical facility which is the last remaining hospital in southern Gaza has been receiving a rising number of casualties, including children, since this morning when the Israeli forces started their air and ground attacks, giving the residents no time to follow their evacuation orders.

At least 39,076 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since October 7, Gaza’s Health Ministry announced.  

The bodies of the Khan Yunis victims arrived at Nasser Hospital, the Al Jazeera report said.

Bani Suheila, Qizan an-Najjar, Abasan al-Kabira, Khuza’a, and al-Qarara were among the districts targeted by the Israeli military, it added.

The text of the declaration of the Yemeni armed forces is as follows:

To the residents and refugees of Tel Aviv, you are in a dangerous war zone, the Yemeni armed forces will fight with force against the Nazi terrorist organizations in your area, and everyone who is in these areas is putting their lives and their families at risk. . "For your own safety, move immediately south to the Negev desert."

 A suicide drone was fired by the Yemeni resistance forces towards Tel Aviv, which, in addition to killing the Zionists, challenged the Iron Dome system and the Zionist regime's radars.

According to the report of Channel 12 of the Zionist regime, this Yemeni drone was not identified as a dangerous target and no alarm was sounded for it. Zionist media have said that this drone had a very small warhead to fly this long distance so that it could carry more fuel.

This drone was observed by the air force's interceptor system for a total of about 6 minutes, and at the same time, another drone was launched from Iraq, and the attention of the Zionist defense has gone to that drone. This drone is unknown to Israel; Because Yemen has not talked about the Jaffa UAV before, and it is likely to be the fourth version of the "Samad" UAV, which has a range of about 2,200 km and can carry 4 missiles. This optimized drone has been able to reach Tel Aviv.

In order to cover up this weakness, the Israeli Air Force announced in the preliminary investigation that human error caused the arrival of the drone and its explosion.

Human history shows that there has always been and always will be a conflict between the two currents of truth and falsehood. The year 61 AH is a turning point in the history of mankind in which the great event of Ashura took place. An event that contains many lessons. The standing of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) in the face of a great deviation saved the religion of Islam and returned the religion to its original path, at that time, the Jewish-Arabic enemy had used all their efforts to pervert Islam and ultimately lead the society towards irreligion. 

In the current situation, mourning and crying for Imam Hussain also means trying to prevent deviation in religion and humanity. Therefore, we are a nation of political cries. That is, the nature of our worship, the nature of struggle, the nature of social activity is the nature that the Imam said "has kept alive the Muharram and Safar of Islam" (Sahifah Imam, vol. 15, p. 330) and the basis of Islam is those deviations that he wanted to eliminate throughout history. It did not exist. Tyranny was not established. In Islam, aristocracy was not established. In Islam, you can see that after 1400 years, there are still thoughts that oppose aristocracy with oppression, with the oppressive control of individuals over others, with dictatorship.

The religious deviation of the aforementioned axis was based on the goal of secularism or the separation of religion from the government. Of course, Yazid spectrum in the first stage by changing the analytical and historical perception of the society in different ways, after a short distance from the beginning of Islam, they tried to change the place of right and wrong, so that in the first stage, an irreligious and deviant person with the support of properties Introduce the ignorant as the leader of the Islamic society. The deviation was such that the perverts in the religion martyred the grandson of the noble Prophet of Islam and the Imam of his time, under the pretext of leaving the religion, with the help of the people of his time. Therefore, the event of Ashura was not just an event, but a constant flow in history, which has many lessons for the elites and people of Islamic societies.

Ashura is a system of awakening, insight, honor and dignity and makes all human beings to think and choose between right and wrong. The uprising of Imam Hussain (a.s.) on the day of Ashura in the year 61 AH strengthened the foundations of pure Muhammadan Islam. This is why the movement of Imam Hussain (a.s.) is not a personal, ethnic or tribal battle, but a battle to prevent the deviation and re-establishing the authentic values ​​of God at the level of society.

In order to explain his uprising, the Imam says: "O God! You know that what happened to us was not to compete in the matter of leadership or to gain wealth and wealth, but our goal is to reveal the signs of your religion and reform and Let's expose the truth in all the countries so that your oppressed servants will be at ease and your duties, traditions and commands will be implemented.

Even today, the Hebrew-Western-Arab enemies are trying to prevent the growth and development of the Islamic government by manipulating the perceptive and analytical power of the society. Engaging the internal current in second-rate affairs and trying to induce failure to show the Islamic government is one of the most important goals of the Yazid current.

Ashura, the tenth day of the month of Muharram. The importance of this day for Shiites is due to the incident of Karbala on the 10th day of Muharram in 61 lunar year. Imam Hussain (a.s.) was martyred on the day of Ashura along with his companions in Karbala in the battle with Kufa army under the command of Umar bin Saad.
