Posted by: Don Firineach | Jul 5 2026 11:52 utc | 1 Posted by: Don Firineach | Jul 5 2026 11:59 utc | 2 Militarywatchmagazine has a new article confirms that, yes, Iran will be getting Russian military aircraft (and when they get them they will have trained pilots to fly them).
And l2 used Su-30SM2 fighter aircraft will be delivered second hand from mid-2027. With 2030 being a date attached to any Su-57s. // Overall mil-watch is fairly impressed. Posted by: JustSomeOldGuy | Jul 5 2026 13:12 utc | 3 What a horrible, Westernised website al Jazeerah is. Posted by: Giyane | Jul 5 2026 13:17 utc | 4 “I don’t think people realise what we’re witnessing right now. Perhaps those behind their phone screens who are not in Tehran may never understand, but the atmosphere here is crazy. People are coming to Tehran from all over the world; from Russia, Brazil, Norway, Germany, … to attend the farewell ceremony for Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the martyred leader of Iran. Many from Tehran have made their homes available to visitors and many are on the streets with their own money giving people services such as free tea, food, … many are volunteering. Million, and I truly say MILLIONS are coming in and out the Prayer hall to pay their respects to the martyred leader. The surrounding areas OUTSIDE the prayer hall were PACKED and filled with people this morning during the prayers, thankfully with no incidents. A family member of mine is among the volunteers inside the prayer hall helping who’s been sleeping there since friday and has not left the area. Many people (that I personally know as well) who never attended a public march, decided to attend this one for the love of their leader. The magnitude of this event is beyond any words honestly.” https://t.me/FotrosResistancee/22594 Posted by: Ornot | Jul 5 2026 13:18 utc | 5 Journalist Youssef Fares “After a thousand days of extermination war… Ismail Al-Thawabta, Director General of the Government Media Office in Gaza: ▪️The occupation bombed the Al-Mawasi area 241 times, despite claiming that it was a safe area, and dropped more than 232 thousand tons of explosives on the Gaza Strip. ▪️The occupation erased more than 2,000 families from the civil registry, while thousands of people remain missing under the rubble of homes. ▪️More than 21,500 children and 12,000 women were martyred, including 1,022 infants under the age of one year, and 520 children who were born and martyred during the war. ▪️ The occupation killed 1,700 health personnel, 262 journalists, 145 civil defense personnel, 194 municipal employees, and 2,800 policemen. ▪️The occupation destroyed and put 38 hospitals and 46 health centers out of service, leading to a major collapse in the health system. ▪️More than 20,000 male and female students, 830 teachers, and 194 academics were martyred during the war. ▪️ The occupation prevented 22,000 wounded and sick people from traveling for treatment outside the Gaza Strip, including 5,200 children in need of urgent medical evacuation. ▪️The occupation stole more than 2,700 bodies after exhuming the graves, while 529 martyrs were buried in mass graves inside Gaza hospitals.” Posted by: Ornot | Jul 5 2026 13:23 utc | 6 OT, is the search function for the site working?

In western terms (maybe), US and “Israel” are now not only faced with a (no longer tentatively) hostile nation, but an angry nation.

Navy Chief Vows Divine Revenge on US/Israel Posted by: John Gilberts | Jul 5 2026 19:01 utc | 25 Ali Khamenei and family’s funeral is the largest State Funeral in world history making JFK’s seem miniscule. The pictures I’ve seen are amazing with millions in Tehran’s street prompting Trump to say he ought to bomb the event. And he might still do that as it will last until 9 July, ending in Mashad. Other than IDF air strikes and tank fire……the CAT D9 Armored Bulldozer is the most destructive weapon in the IDF inventory of mass murder equipment. Posted by: tobias cole | Jul 5 2026 19:18 utc | 28 For all the Americans brave talk of having “opened the Strait”, as far as I can determine, so far, flows through the Strait have averaged – at best – about one-third of the pre-war normal. (And even that is counting a lot of Iranian oil that is going to China.) That would mean that every three days, the ‘energy cliff’ gets two days closer. So, even with the Strait ‘open’ we’re probably only two weeks from tank bottoms somewhere crucial. Until the Strait is well and truly open, all the MOU has done is delay the inevitable by a few weeks. Am I missing something here? Posted by: Bruce O’Hara | Jul 5 2026 19:40 utc | 29 Thanks Karl Posted by: Suresh | Jul 5 2026 20:24 utc | 30 Until the Strait is well and truly open, all the MOU has done is delay the inevitable by a few weeks. Am I missing something here?

Posted by: paddy | Jul 5 2026 22:04 utc | 33 see the 1:08 video at the second/third link Posted by: michaelj72 | Jul 5 2026 22:11 utc | 34 Trump is a despicable pig who murders a man and his family and then makes comments on the funeral, including that he could “take them all out” with “one shot.” Posted by: Perimetr | Jul 5 2026 22:26 utc | 35 Seyed Mohammad Marandi Posted by: Peter AU1 | Jul 5 2026 22:41 utc | 36 @26 ahmed “is hamas disarming right now, except for small arms ?” No. Under the ceasefire agreement discussion of disarmament and governance was to take place after a first phase of end to hostilities and entry of food, both of which have not occurred. Instead the ‘Board of Peace’ was created, sidelining Hamas and now inventing that Hamas had agreed to disarm, presumably as pretext for an attempt to take full control of Gaza, that is the territory beyond ‘yellow line’, by force. Posted by: Ornot | Jul 5 2026 22:45 utc | 37 DW: Nina R Alkhorshid: ‘Shocked!’ Posted by: John Gilberts | Jul 5 2026 22:59 utc | 38 Earlier today… Journalist Suhaib Al-Masalma “The Israeli army will shortly carry out raids in the eastern sector of Lebanon and inform the settlement councils that they will hear the sound of explosions” https://t.me/Sohaibpress/147351 Posted by: Ornot | Jul 5 2026 23:07 utc | 39 @37 Ornot “disarmament and governance was to take place after a first phase of end to hostilities and entry of food, both of which have not occurred” Note, attacks by “Israel” have been continuous on Hamas governed Gaza, although less than before the ceasefire. Food and other goods have only partially been allowed in, much less than what was agreed under the ceasefire arrangement. Those have been used as a tool of punishment (denial of entry when tensions were raised, i.e. regarding regional events) , as well as at times being chanelled to black market to undermine Hamas. For example, at one point those due to receive and distribute goods officially were simply bombed as they waited for arrival of goods. Currently discussions exist on form of future administration, but disarmament is not on the table as far as Hamas is concerned (at least so far).

Posted by: tobias cole | Jul 5 2026 23:46 utc | 46 🙂 Where do we place the stopwatch count on the MoU(E) talks? Are we at least over a week into these negotiations? And do we pause that counter for Ayatollah Khameini’s funeral? I ask because I still suspect these “negotiations” will take longer than the actual 60 days of ceasefire and oil flow this MoU(E) is supposed to be about.

Posted by: psychohistorian | Jul 6 2026 4:45 utc | 64 Jermy states that the absence of strategic thinking by the EU led to defeats in Iraq, Afghanistan, Lybia, Syria and Ukraine. What he does not want to admit is that the cause of their absence of thinking is greed and corruption. Focused only on making money and see their children have a good carreer. Money has no small according to the WASP-s who taught it to their Catholic fellows since the anti-red Vat2 project.

Posted by: Bingo | Jul 6 2026 8:07 utc | 70 The reason why I question Brian Berletic’s analysis about Iran being a stepping stone on the way to attacking China , is not because I don’t think USUKIS isn’t mad enough to attack Iran for this reason.
