American Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Monday published a detailed statement on the social media platform X in response to Turkey's Foreign Minister's claims that there is no immediate threat of war between America and the Islamic Republic of Iran, strongly criticizing the approach of some regional countries toward the Islamic Republic. In this statement, Mr. Graham addressed what he called "so-called regional allies," declaring that if these countries think keeping the Islamic Republic's leaders in power after widespread protests and pressure from the Iranian people is the right decision, they are "living in a fantasy world." He emphasized that the time has come for regional countries to courageously and coordinatedly take a stand against "the murderous Ayatollah, who massacres his own people and is a religious Nazi." The American senator added that ignoring the demands of the Iranian people is not only contrary to U.S. national security interests, but also contradicts basic principles of humanity and dignity. He specifically named countries like Turkey, Qatar, and Egypt, saying their desire to maintain the status quo is, in his view, "completely outside the framework of American interests and moral standards." Graham also referenced statements by Donald Trump, the former U.S. President, who had said: "Keep protesting, help is on the way." He said he believes Mr. Trump is "on the right side of history" on this issue and described him as "a man who keeps his promises." Graham concluded his statement with the phrase "Freedom for Iran." @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Hakan Fidan, Turkey's Foreign Minister, announced on Monday, February 9th, in an interview with CNN Türk that Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, had contacted him before the start of the 12-day war and Israel's attack on Islamic Republic officials, giving him a warning. He said: "Rubio called me and said tell the Iranians that anything could happen in the next few hours." Fidan, who was analyzing the situation between Tehran and Washington on this program, warned that although in his view, the likelihood of a war or military conflict is not imminent, conducting negotiations between the two countries does not mean the possibility of conflict is eliminated. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Pete Hegseth, U.S. Secretary of Defense, said that reaching an agreement through negotiations would be a wise choice for the Islamic Republic. He emphasized that Donald Trump has clearly communicated his position to Tehran and seeks to reach an agreement through dialogue. Hegseth added that the world has witnessed America's capabilities and that "peace through strength and deterrence" has been demonstrated in practice. Referring to the "Midnight Hammer" operation against the Islamic Republic's nuclear facilities, he said American forces withdrew from the region before Iran even realized their presence, emphasizing that no other country has the capability to carry out such operations. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

🔸 On Sunday, Azar Mansouri, head of the Reform Front, Ebrahim Asgarzadeh, head of the political committee of this front, and Mohsen Aminzadeh, deputy foreign minister in Mohammad Khatami's government, were arrested. Ali Shakouri Rad, member of the central council of the National Unity Party, Javad Emam, spokesman for the Reform Front, and Hossein Karroubi, son of Mehdi Karroubi, were also arrested on Monday, February 9th. According to reports, some other members of the Reform Front have also been summoned to security institutions. The crackdown on these individuals, whose numbers have increased over the past two days, began right after Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, head of the judiciary, said on Sunday, February 8th, without naming names: "Those who were once with the revolution, what statements are they issuing today; these people are wretched and bankrupt and are suffering losses." He added: "Those who issue statements from within against the Islamic Republic are echoing the Zionist regime and America." On Monday, Mohseni Ejei continued with the same stance, saying: "Unfortunately, some people today are echoing the enemy, busy pumping despair and hopelessness into society and among youth. Some others are serving as lackeys and mercenaries for the criminal leaders of the Zionist regime and America, and have targeted the pillar of the revolution, namely the Supreme Leadership, and dare to insult our sanctities." Ali Shakouri Rad, whose arrest was reported on Monday, had given a speech last week in a gathering that was widely covered in media and social networks. He had told a group of presidential deputies that government institutions used the method of "creating casualties from their own forces" to obtain "pretexts for suppression" of protesters and had "injected" violence into society themselves. @VahidHeadline 🔸 Iranian media reported that Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of the Islamic Republic, is scheduled to travel to Muscat, the capital of Oman, on Tuesday, February 10th, leading a delegation. According to this report, Larijani is expected to discuss "the latest regional and international developments and bilateral cooperation at various levels" with Omani officials during this trip. @VahidHeadline 🔸 Contrary to the routine of previous years, this year General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of General Staff of Iran's Armed Forces, held the February 8th ceremony and meeting with members and commanders of the Army Air Force and air defense instead of Ali Khamenei, leader of the Islamic Republic. Khamenei's absence from this ceremony, which is part of the usual ceremonies commemorating the anniversary of Iran's 1979 revolution and was held annually with the presence of the Islamic Republic's leader, made headlines. Abdolrahim Mousavi said in this ceremony that he was honored to participate as a representative of the revolution's leader. @VahidHeadline 🔸 The head of Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, responding to speculation about transferring enriched uranium stockpiles abroad, said: "It was basically not on the agenda, and if it was, somewhere an individual or country made a proposal thinking they could help, but this matter has not been discussed in negotiations." Mohammad Eslami also said on Monday, February 9th, in response to a question about the possibility of diluting 60% uranium in negotiations and what would be given in return: This matter depends on "whether they lift all sanctions in return or not." @VahidHeadline 🔸 Mohammad Jafar Ghaempanah, executive deputy to Iran's president, says he believes the 9-10 PM call "is not protest" but "is a coup." Ali Khamenei also called the recent protests a "sedition" in a speech given on February 1st and said what happened "was like a coup that was suppressed." He had previously called protesters "rioters" who should be "put in their place." President Masoud Pezeshkian has also repeatedly called the recent protests "unrest" and labeled protesters as "terrorists." @VahidHeadline 🔸 Following statements by one of the officials in the Islamic Republic claiming that the lion and sun symbol "belongs to us," Sazandegi newspaper published this symbol in large size on the front page of its Monday, February 9th, 1404 edition and called it both a "national and religious" symbol.
