The Secretary-General of Hezbollah rejected the ceasefire plan that the governments of Lebanon and Israel had agreed upon in negotiations mediated by the United States. The United States announced on Wednesday that Lebanon and Israel had reached an agreement on implementing a ceasefire - an agreement conditional on stopping Hezbollah attacks and withdrawing the group's forces from border areas in southern Lebanon. @ VahidHeadline Naim Qassem, Secretary-General of Lebanon's Hezbollah, described the Lebanese government's agreement with Israel, which was drafted through US mediation, as "complete surrender and defeat" and said Hezbollah is only committed to a complete halt of attacks, ceasefire, and Israel's withdrawal from Lebanese territory. He also considered Hezbollah's disarmament as meaning the destruction of Lebanon's power and emphasized that this matter is unacceptable to Hezbollah. Following the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah, the United States has taken on the mediating role to resolve border disputes and security issues between the two sides. Meanwhile, the issue of Hezbollah's disarmament and how to implement the ceasefire remains among the most important points of contention between the Lebanese government, Hezbollah, and Israel. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, on Thursday, June 4th, and hours after the release of videos and images of the Guards' drone hitting Kuwait International Airport, cited a military source calling them "false enemy imagery." This military source told Tasnim: "The launch of the Revolutionary Guards' Aerospace drones toward American targets in Kuwait took place at midnight and the impact also occurred at midnight (and in darkness), while in the alleged films and photos released of the drone at the airport, the sky is completely bright and related to daytime." The Revolutionary Guards, before the release of images of the drone hitting passenger terminal number 1 at Kuwait Airport, had claimed that missiles from America's air defense system had hit this location. This unnamed military source told Tasnim: "The distance between the 'target' of the Revolutionary Guards' Aerospace drones and Kuwait Airport is more than 40 kilometers, and this also shows that the hit on Kuwait Airport has no connection to Iranian drones." @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

A written message attributed to Mojtaba Khamenei, the third Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, was read at the anniversary ceremony of Ruhollah Khomeini's death in Tehran. In this message, which was read by Mohammad Javad Haj Ali Akbari, Tehran's Friday prayer leader, on Thursday, June 4th, the leader of the Islamic Republic accused America and Israel of waging a "hybrid war" against Iran, saying this war "is focused on two points: one is the people's resilience and the other is disrupting the calculation system of the country's officials." Mojtaba Khamenei also called any action that he said "causes pessimism and frustration" as "helping the enemy" and called for "maintaining unity, cohesion, and mutual trust" between the people and system officials. Last week, Mojtaba Khamenei also warned all those he called "devoted souls 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." In another part of this message, Israel was described as "a garrison belonging to the domination system" and it was emphasized that this country spares no effort to prevent Iran's progress. The message also declared: "The malicious enemy has been defeated in confrontation with your brave children in the armed forces" and added that the enemy, after what was called a "meaningful and deep humiliation," has focused on weakening people's resilience and creating errors in officials' calculation system. Finally, the message asked everyone to neutralize the enemy's "sinister plan" by standing firm, having clear vision, maintaining unity and cohesion, and not echoing the enemy. Since the announcement of Mojtaba Khamenei's name as the third Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic, no image or voice of him has been released, and Iranian media only publish written messages from him. The anniversary ceremony of Ruhollah Khomeini's death, which was held every year on June 4th with a speech by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic and with the presence of numerous officials and senior military commanders, was held this year in a very limited manner without the presence of system officials. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

♦️ Donald Trump, President of the United States, on Thursday, June 4th, sharply criticized the approval of the resolution "End Trump's War with Iran." The US President wrote in this message: "Yesterday, in a meaningless vote, the House of Representatives, four bad Republicans and all Democrats, right in the middle of my final negotiations to end the war with the Islamic Republic of Iran, voted to limit my war powers. Who does such an unpatriotic thing? They know what stage the negotiations are at." Trump wrote with harsh criticism of the representatives supporting this plan: "Democrats feed off Trump Derangement Syndrome. They would rather our country lose than give me another victory, of many victories. The four Republican representatives, their story is completely different. They are show-offs! They should be ashamed of themselves." @VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Marjane Satrapi, the Iranian-French writer, illustrator, and filmmaker who created the graphic novel "Persepolis," has died at age 56. According to France Press Agency reports, Satrapi's close associates announced that she "died of grief a little over a year after the death of Matthias Ripa, her husband and the love of her life." Last year, Satrapi rejected the French government's Legion of Honor medal in protest of France's hypocrisy toward the Iranian people and the Islamic Republic. Marjane Satrapi achieved global fame with the publication of "Persepolis," a graphic novel about her life in Iran and immigration. This work was widely embraced by audiences and became one of the landmark works of contemporary graphic literature. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Al-Hadath reported that the United States and the Islamic Republic are close to reaching a four-phase agreement that will begin with reducing tensions and conclude with addressing the nuclear file and regional security arrangements. The transition from each phase to the next will occur after "implementation of commitments." According to this report, the first phase of the agreement includes halting direct military operations and avoiding any escalation of tensions or opening new fronts in the region. The second phase focuses on shipping security, reopening the Strait of Hormuz, and special security arrangements for maritime passages and energy routes. According to Al-Hadath, the third phase of this agreement includes economic confidence-building, limited reduction of some sanctions on the Islamic Republic, releasing part of Iran's frozen assets, and providing facilities related to oil exports. Based on this report, the fourth phase of the agreement is considered the most complex phase and may take months to complete. This phase includes reviewing Iran's nuclear program, uranium enrichment levels, monitoring mechanisms, and regional security arrangements. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

The US House of Representatives on Wednesday supported a Democrat-led resolution aimed at stopping war with the Iranian government until Congress grants authorization. According to Reuters, this resolution was approved with 215 votes in favor versus 208 against, with four Republican representatives also joining the Democrats. This vote is considered Donald Trump's latest political defeat in Congress, despite Republicans having a fragile majority in both chambers. According to this report, this action is largely symbolic, as it must also be approved in the Senate to be implemented and requires support from two-thirds of members in both chambers to override a potential Donald Trump veto. However, this vote demonstrates growing concern in Congress about war with the Iranian government. Three similar previous resolutions had failed in the House of Representatives, but with smaller vote margins than before. The Senate also advanced a similar resolution in a procedural vote last month - something that happened after seven previous unsuccessful attempts. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
