Arvin & Ali are reporting on positive news coming from Lebanon, Iraq, and occupied Iran. Unfortunately news from Gaza is alarming. At the same time Hamas is actively preventing Gaza reconstruction and executing its opponents, according to an IDF report, Hamas is producing explosive devices and missiles, rebuilding tunnels, and recruiting and training, getting ready for renewed conflict. Meanwhile Hamas' Red-Green supporters in the West will not hesitate to impede the progress made against the Islamic Republic.

Unfortunately (but no surprise) the June 26 Gazan protests against Hamas were brutally suppressed. <https://ground.news/article/gazans-hold-anti-hamas-protests-across-strip_7d415e> Although, Times of Israel reports some success <https://www.timesofisrael.com/bucking-threats-hundreds-in-gaza-seen-protesting-hamas-for-first-time-in-a-year/> Read Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib on X for more information. <https://x.com/afalkhatib

Can someone please explain to me that Trump not saying that we have have no choice but to cave in to Iranian Regime blackmail - Trump speaking at G7: …”If we didn’t do this deal we could’ve dropped more bombs for another three weeks, two weeks, four weeks, two years, you would never have the Hormuz Strait open….” <https://x.com/jewishwarrior13/status/2067284320662790313?s=12> By extension, Trump is saying the Iranian Regime can do whatever it wants - keep the Iranian people hostage, develop nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, fund its proxies... I hear him saying we are powerless to act because they can close the Strait of Hormuz. I hope the message is different tomorrow, but today he is saying the US and the Abraham Accord signees are utterly defeated.

Is there any certainty (or most likely hypothesis) on what actually happened at the Minab girl's school on the first day of the war? This was and continues to be a propaganda tool for Islamic regime. I was speaking to a political scientist from a central European country who brought this up as a reason the Iranian people would not support military action against the IRGC. Was it actually a mistake by the US military that killed many school children; was the whole incident a complete fabrication; or does the answer lie in between?
