The British Defense Secretary John Healey says Iran launched two missiles toward Cyprus. Healey confirmed thousands of British troops are stationed in Cyprus, which also hosts significant IOF reserve bases, air defense, and intelligence infrastructure.

■ Cyprus has played a key logistical and military role for the IOF, US, and UK in carrying out the Gaza genocide.

■ Hezbollah's martyred leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah warned Cyprus in 2024, “[Israel believes] that if their own airports are targeted, they will use Cypriot airports and facilities. Therefore, the Cypriot government must understand that opening Cypriot airports and bases for war against Lebanon will make Cyprus an enemy of the war.”

■ Now, Iran is striking back at Cyprus for their role in carrying out Western aggression against the region.

I will add that AryJeay & EyesOnSouth1 are a lot more reliable than some of the other random accounts out there I'm not posting any sources I haven't got a read on prior to this year. (They're not doomers but they kind of Prigozhin post at times if you catch my drift)

Really? How many times do you think you can hit people with "we are going to do things to you that have never been done before" without using nukes or something?

🇮🇷| Iran’s Expediency Discernment Council elected Ayatollah Alireza Arafi as the jurist member of the Guardian Council in the Leadership Council.

The members of the Leadership Council have been completed: Pezeshkian, Ejei, Arafi.

According to the Constitution, the President, Head of the Judiciary, and a Guardian Council jurist selected by the Expediency Discernment Council form the Leadership Council until a new leader is appointed by the Assembly of Experts.

Please reserve no sympathy for the enfranchised part of the population in the gulf monarchies. They empathize with the Israelis for a reason.

Israel intentionally puts military targets inside densely populated civilian areas.

Mossad, their intelligence agency, is one example…

When you hear Israel complaining that Iran has killed civilians, just know that it’s because Israel intentionally uses Israelis as human shields.

Doesn’t Israel have compulsive military service? The entire populace is military by design.

🇮🇷 IRGC: The Armed Forces Will Take a Different and Harsh Step of Revenge

  • The sixth wave of Operation True Promise 4 was powerfully carried out with extensive missile and drone attacks by the IRGC on the occupied territories and U.S. military bases in the region.

  • 27 points of U.S. bases in the region, along with the Tel Nof base, the general command headquarters of the Zionist army in Hakaria, and the large defense industries complex in Tel Aviv, were among the targets attacked.

  • The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will not allow the sound of the alarm siren in the occupied territories and American bases to cease, and with successive and regret-inducing blows, they will carry out a different and harsh step of revenge.

Statement from PFLP:

“Obituary

🔴The Popular Front mourns the passing of the great fighter and leader of the Iranian Revolution, Ali Khamenei, and a group of martyred leaders

The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine mourns the passing of the great leader and fighter, Mr. Ali Khamenei, the guide and leader of the Iranian Revolution, and a group of his comrades, military and political leaders, who were killed in a treacherous criminal assassination carried out by the forces of the Zionist-imperialist alliance.

We in the Popular Front, as we bid farewell to this revolutionary fighter who took up the banner of the revolution from its founder, Khomeini, affirm that his passing represents a loss for the forces of global resistance seeking to break American hegemony and liquidate the Zionist project. The deceased devoted his life to the front lines of resistance against projects of expansion and domination, and worked for three decades to consolidate the Republic's position as a country with a balanced regional presence and a central base of support for national liberation movements, foremost among which was the Palestinian resistance, which found strategic support in his positions during the darkest of times.

The rise of leaders in the fields of confrontation represents a renewed stage in the course of open conflict; whenever treacherous forces attempt to undermine it, the revolution grows stronger, and the blood that has been shed becomes a living memory that drives greater determination to resist all forms of colonial presence and Zionist aggression in our region. The policy of assassinations will not be able to extinguish the will of the peoples, and has always been a driving force and motivation to strengthen resilience and transform loss into a force of resistance against projects of subjugation.

This crime is not the end, but rather a new chapter in a process in which the peoples' awareness of the reality of the conflict is growing and the will to resist and defend sovereignty and dignity is deepening. Iran, with its established institutions and cohesive people, will overcome this loss and is capable of filling any leadership vacuum with competence and authority, preserving its revolutionary approach and principled choices.

The Popular Front, expressing its full solidarity with the Iranian people and their leadership, stresses that strengthening coordination between the forces of liberation and consolidating “unity in the trenches and resistance in various arenas of confrontation” is the most effective way to confront imperialist and Zionist arrogance.

Glory and immortality to the martyrs... We will surely be victorious.

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine Central Media Office March 1, 2026”

As expected. Operation Epstein Fury was done to get a retaliatory strike from Iran so their weapon launch sites ca be tracked using satellite surveillance
