Meanwhile, reports published on social media indicate explosion sounds were heard in Hormozgan and Bushehr. @VahidOOnLine I had received a message an hour ago that I had quoted in my previous post and now I've moved it here. A message from a citizen who wrote about one of their family members: They were in Qeshm right now. They gave them temporary plates and told them just get off the island quickly. Along with the above news, I also had messages: Explosion sounds are being heard in Bandar Abbas. Explosion sounds are coming from the direction of Qeshm and the sea. 📡 @VahidOnline

Axios reported, citing American officials, that U.S. and Islamic Republic negotiators have reached a 60-day memorandum of understanding to extend the ceasefire and begin negotiations on Iran's nuclear program, but Donald Trump, the U.S. President, has not yet given final approval to this text. Unnamed American officials told the media that the terms of the agreement were nearly finalized by Tuesday, but both sides still needed to get approval from their senior officials. American officials added that the Iranian side has announced it has received the necessary approvals and is ready to sign. Tehran has not yet confirmed this matter. Axios wrote that American negotiators reported the details of the final agreement to Trump, and he requested several days to think it over. @ VahidOOnLine Later Fox News also published a similar report. And apparently this is also why they wanted to open the internet. Making it look like a victory by announcing celebrations and propaganda during the World Cup atmosphere and... 📡 @VahidOnline

Following the publication of a message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei regarding "Israel's destruction within 15 years," Iranian media released an image of a new mural in Palestine Square in Tehran bearing the phrase "Israel will not see the next 15 years." In the message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei that Iranian media had published, it stated that Israel "has approached the final stages of its cursed life." This message referenced Ali Khamenei's 2015 remarks and emphasized that Israel "will not see 25 years after that date." @VahidOOnLine The Revolutionary Guards on Thursday, May 28th, issued a statement on the occasion of the killing of Mohammad Awda and Ezzedine Haddad, two Hamas commanders, declaring that the region will not see peace except with the elimination of Israel.

Scott Besent, US Treasury Secretary, wrote in a message on X network on Thursday that the United States, in order to increase pressure on Tehran and keep the Strait of Hormuz open, "will stop both Iranian airlines' access to landing facilities, refueling and ticket sales," but provided no further details and did not mention the names of the two companies. @VahidHeadline Scott Besent, US Treasury Secretary, emphasizing that the country continues its campaign of "economic wrath" against the Iranian government, wrote on X network that Islamic Republic forces are not receiving salaries, police are not showing up to work, and Kharg Island has been shut down, and Iran's economy and currency value are in free fall. He added that the Strait of Hormuz management organization by the Islamic Republic is a joke and today the Treasury Department has sanctioned it. We have warned every corporate or government entity about paying fees or hiding it as assistance. Besent added that with the formation of a "steel wall," the US naval blockade has caused Iran's crude oil at sea to reach its lowest historical level. He emphasized that only one satisfactory outcome in negotiations will stop this downward trend. @VahidOnLine The Donald Trump administration sanctioned the Islamic Republic's so-called "Persian Gulf Strait Organization" @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Kuwait's Foreign Ministry condemned Iran's recent missile and drone attacks on Kuwaiti territory as a serious escalation of tensions and a clear violation of sovereignty and security. The ministry announced on Thursday that it holds Tehran fully responsible for the recent attacks and demanded that the Iranian government immediately and unconditionally stop the attacks. @VahidHeadline Ismail Baghaei, spokesman for Iran's Foreign Ministry, called the early Thursday morning American attack on areas in Bandar Abbas an "aggression" and condemned it. Mr. Baghaei considered this attack a "gross violation of international law and the United Nations Charter" and added: "The UN Security Council is obligated to fulfill its legal responsibility to hold the American aggressors accountable." Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman says America is "continuously" violating the ceasefire between the two countries that has been in effect since April 8th. CENTCOM, however, has emphasized that these actions were "measured, purely defensive and aimed at preserving the ceasefire." This was the second time in the past three days that America had targeted objectives in Iran. @VahidHeadline The United States Central Command, CENTCOM, has called Iran's missile attack on Kuwait a "gross violation" of the ceasefire. This entity wrote on its official account on the X network: "At 10:17 PM Eastern Time on May 27, Iran fired a ballistic missile toward Kuwait which was successfully intercepted by Kuwaiti forces." CENTCOM wrote that "this gross violation of the ceasefire by the Iranian regime occurred hours after Iranian forces launched five one-way attack drones that created a clear threat in and near the Strait of Hormuz." The US Central Command says: "All drones were successfully intercepted by American forces and they also prevented the launch of a sixth drone from an Iranian ground control site in Bandar Abbas." CENTCOM continued: "US Central Command and regional partners remain vigilant and cautious, and we continue to defend our forces and interests against Iran's unjustified aggression." @VahidOOnLine Saudi Arabia's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned and denounced the hostile missile and drone attacks on Kuwait in a statement on the X network. @VahidOOnLine Qatar's Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Kuwait being targeted with missiles and drones in a statement, calling it a "clear violation of sovereignty" of this country and a "gross violation of international laws." @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Iranian media published a message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, Leader of the Islamic Republic, addressed to members of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, in which he says that "creating division and social fragmentation," alongside war and economic pressure and sanctions, is "the blind plan and scheme of the enemy." In this message published on Thursday, June 7th, Mojtaba Khamenei also warned all those he called "devotees whose hearts beat for Islam and the revolution or Iran's independence and dignity" not to "turn unjustified and even justified differences into conflict and division." The Ministry of Intelligence of the Islamic Republic yesterday warned in a statement that after the recent war, "some shortages and price increases" following America's economic pressures could cause new unrest to emerge in Iran. The Wall Street Journal also reported on Thursday, citing analysts, warning that the continuation of America's naval blockade against Iran, which has led to a reduction in Iran's foreign currency reserves, could increase the likelihood of new protests in Iran. Since Mojtaba Khamenei was announced as the third Leader of the Islamic Republic, no image or audio of him has been released, and Iranian media only publish written messages from him. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The US Department of Justice announced that "Jonathan Ludholdt," an American citizen residing in Staten Island, has been sentenced to 10 years in prison and three years of supervised release for participating in a "stalking and murder" plot against Masih Alinejad, an Iranian-American political activist. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

"Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf," Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, wrote in a message to "Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei," Head of the Judiciary: "The Judiciary did not cease protecting people's rights and confronting internal killers and traitors to the nation under bombardment and threats from enemies, and it shone brilliantly." This praise of the Judiciary's performance comes while during the days since Iran's war with America and Israel began, at least 39 political prisoners have been executed. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

NetBlocks, the organization that monitors internet disruptions, announced that despite internet access being largely restored in Iran, indicators show that users are still facing severe filtering. NetBlocks described this severe filtering as similar to the period between the nationwide protests in January and the beginning of military operations against the Islamic Republic, from January to March 2025. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Video received: 'Trail of fired missile in the sky over #Omidiyeh Khuzestan, Thursday June 27' Vahid ☄️ The IRGC announced that in response to US aerial projectile attacks at dawn Thursday on a point near Bandar Abbas airport perimeter, it has targeted a US air base that was the source of these attacks at 4:50 AM. The IRGC emphasized that if US attacks are repeated, the Islamic Republic's response will be "more decisive." @ VahidOOnLine Media outlets that quoted the IRGC statement, including the Islamic Republic's official news agency, IRNA, wrote they attacked at "4/50" which means four-thirty, but given that they wrote it with two decimal digits, they probably meant four-fifty. But this is also strange because the sirens in Kuwait and messages from Omidiyeh were related to 5:50 AM! 📡 @VahidOnline

I'm receiving messages and images from #Omidiyeh in Khuzestan saying that around 5:50, a missile was fired and an explosion sound was heard towards the Omidiyeh-Miankuh tunnel. Someone wrote that a launcher was targeted. This happens to coincide exactly with sirens being heard in Kuwait 📡 @VahidOnline

Update: Kuwait's army announced that this country's air defense systems have intercepted "hostile" missile and drone attacks, but did not specify where these threats originated from. Kuwait's army announced in a statement that the explosive sounds heard in the country were caused by the interception of these threats by air defense systems. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
