Live Update From the Liveblog of Friday, February 13, 2026. By Jacob Magid, 11:36 pm Asked about potential regime change in Iran, US President Donald Trump tells reporters, “It seems like that would be the best thing that could happen.” Pressed on who he’d like to take over Iran, Trump declines to answer. Trump’s comments would appear to contradict those made by US Vice President JD Vance, who indicated earlier this week that the US was not pursuing regime change in Iran. “If the Iranian people want to overthrow the regime, that’s up to the Iranian people,” he said, appearing to suggest that this was not the administration’s goal. What we’re focused on right now is the fact that Iran can’t have a nuclear weapon.” The US had recently appeared to be open to the idea of regime change in Iran, with President Donald Trump calling on protesters to “take over” government institutions amid the mass protests there, and reportedly asking aides for a strike plan that could help spur the toppling of the government. But then Washington entered negotiations with Iran, which are set for a second round in the coming days. Trump has repeatedly threatened Tehran with an attack if it doesn’t agree to a deal that sees the Islamic Republic give up its capabilities to produce a nuclear weapon, roll back its ballistic missile program, and cease its support for armed proxies in the region.

The REAL Azarbaijan (Ancient Iranian Form: Azarpādgān • Medieval Iranian Form: Azarbādgān) is the territory that is still in Iran as provinces in the North West of the country like it always have been because Azaris are ethnic Iranians (Iranic People) and not Turks. The Azeris originally spoke an Iranian language of their own before they were influenced by the Ottoman Empire in the cities to become Turkish speakers especially after the fact that Turkic invaders of Central Asia imposed their language upon these ethnic Azari Iranians These Azeri Iranians had no choice to become Turkish speakers because they were occupied for few centuries by Turks of Central Asia and there was no Iranian Government of their own present like the Sassanid Dynasty for many centuries to preserve their Azeri Iranian language and they were influenced by the Ottoman Empire in the cities to become Turkish speakers due to business and commercial exchanges which made these ethnic Iranian Azeris into Turkish speakers however fortunately in the villages and rural territories the Azeris still speak their native Iranian Pahlavi language (Documented by Ahmad Kasravi the Iranian intellectual) like their Zoroastrian Iranian ancestors thus the real Turks come from Central Asia and are of Mongolian roots It must noted even the term "Azarpādgān" which is the original ancient spelling of "Azerbaijan" is an Iranian term which literally means "Place of Fire" that originates from the Zoroastrian Heritage of Iran and has nothing in connection with anything Turkish _________________________ Republic of Arrān (Not Azerbaijan): The illegitimate country that exists on the northern border of Iran in the Caucasus region next to the Caspian Sea that goes by the hijacked name Azerbaijan (Republic of Azerbaijan) was actually an Iranian province known as "Arrān" under the Qajar Dynasty in 1813/1828 prior to it being separated and ceded to the Russian Empire after the Russian Military takeover of these ethnic Iranians known as "Arrānis" in the early 19th Century

February 13, 2026. By Jacob Magid, 8:55 pm A Hamas delegation headed by the terror group’s top negotiator Khalil al-Hayya has arrived in Cairo for talks slated to focus on disarmament, an Arab diplomat tells The Times of Israel. Such talks have been taking place for months, but have been largely theoretical since the US has yet to put together a proposal on the decommissioning of weapons that can be formally presented to Hamas. In the meantime, Mideast mediating countries Egypt, Qatar and Turkey have been holding talks with Hamas officials to get an understanding of what the group would be willing to accept. A US official told The Times of Israel earlier this week that the US is expected to present its disarmament plan in the coming weeks, though no exact date has been set. In the meantime, Hamas has managed to bolster its control in the Strip since the October 2025 ceasefire, as no alternative governing body has been installed. The US took until January to unveil the members of the technocratic committee, after Israel dragged its feet on approving the names of potential participants, the Arab diplomat said. While the White House declined a request for comment on the record, two sources familiar with discussions about the decommissioning plan said its fundamental principle will be stripping Hamas of weapons that can be used to threaten Israel. The plan envisions Hamas handing over heavy weaponry and destroying manufacturing sites in addition to incentivizing the handover of lighter weapons by offering funds, jobs and amnesty to those who cooperate, the sources said. The proposal will focus on one section of Gaza at a time, rather than the entire Strip at once. Accordingly, it will take months to finish, the sources added. While this may not lead to the recovery of every single weapon belonging to terror groups in the Strip, the US believes that enough pressure from the Mideast mediating can prevent Hamas from playing spoiler.
