CNN reported, citing a U.S. official, that the Islamic Republic launched several suicide drones toward the Strait of Hormuz, with U.S. aircraft shooting down at least four drones. The official said American authorities believe these drones were targeting commercial ships transiting through the region's waters or U.S. forces operating near that area. @ VahidOOnLine An hour earlier, news about Kharg and Bandar Abbas had been published in some sources, but Mehr News Agency says they are not accurate: Friday night, reports emerged about explosion sounds and air defense being heard on Kharg Island. Follow-ups by Mehr's correspondent stationed on Kharg Island show that such news is not accurate. Saturday morning, some social media activists claimed clashes and attacks occurred in Bandar Abbas city, but Mehr correspondent's investigations show no clashes have taken place in this city. Some shots were fired in this area that were of a warning nature, and the center of activities was at sea and beyond Larak Island. 📡 @VahidOnline

"Masoud Nabidoust," a Khorasani journalist active in the cultural heritage field, reported with published images that the historic Evangelical Church of Mashhad, one of the registered monuments on Iran's National Heritage List, was completely demolished early Thursday morning, June 4, 1405. Iranian media including "Jamaran" have written that the demolition of this church was carried out "by unknown agents" using bulldozers. Cultural heritage activists say this action took place under the negligence of cultural heritage officials - an operation that lasted about two hours, and on the morning of June 4, the area around the church was also sealed off to prevent people and journalists from entering to take photographs. The motive and identity of the individuals or institution responsible for the demolition is unclear, but this is not the first time that a nationally registered historic building in Iran has been demolished overnight without any institution taking responsibility for it. The historic Evangelical Church dates back to the first Pahlavi period and is located on Jannat Street, Golestan Alley in the city of Mashhad. This monument was registered on August 16, 2005, with registration number 13375 as one of Iran's national monuments. Previously, buildings such as churches, mausoleums, and structures belonging to religious minorities including Bahá'ís, Christians, and Jews have been demolished multiple times. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Today, June 5, 2026, a US federal judge ruled today that all USCIS suspension policies are illegal and must be immediately revoked! leeleehozak What wonderful news for Iranian students in America, I hope the USCIS case review process starts soon and everyone's stress and anxiety ends 21aban Finally!!!!!!! The news we've been waiting for months was announced. According to the federal court ruling, the pause has been lifted for everyone on US soil. From this moment on, #USCISpause no longer exists because this directive is considered illegal by the court. Praise to the independence of the judiciary that struck down the entire immigration office directive. Praise to democracy where power is not a blank check in the hands of the government. P.S.: The government will probably file an appeal and object to this ruling, but sooner or later the case will be closed with our victory. BrmTheGreat Here's the official link to the court ruling And here's a link with more details about this specific lawsuit but from an unofficial source mozfang Additional details: The court rejected all government arguments attempting to shield new USCIS policies from judicial review and ruled that: The term "national security" cannot completely immunize executive branch immigration policies from court oversight and review. The judge ruled that all four controversial new policies violate the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) and are declared illegal for two main reasons: 1. Contrary to Law: USCIS has exceeded its legal authority. The court noted that powers related to entry restrictions (subject of section 212(f) of INA law) belong exclusively to the President and relate to borders, not to processing internal benefits for non-citizens who have already entered US territory. Additionally, the policy of applying "negative factors based on country of origin" clearly violates the principle of non-discrimination based on nationality in immigration law (subject of section 1152(a)(1)(A)). 2. Arbitrary and Capricious: The agency failed to provide logical reasoning for its actions, completely ignored the legitimate interests and expectations of immigrants who had acted according to law, and resorted to fabricated and pretextual reasons. The court pointed to a "serious disconnect" between stated national security goals and what actually occurred; including concurrent xenophobic statements by the President and Kristi Noem, then Secretary of Homeland Security, on social media, as well as arbitrary exceptions the agency made for World Cup/Olympic athletes and doctors. 🟣 The court formally declared all four policies illegal and completely nullified and voided them. Since this ruling invalidates a government directive, it will effectively have nationwide impact across the country. 🟣 The court rejected plaintiffs' request for a permanent injunction, reasoning that the ruling invalidating and declaring the policies illegal is sufficient to remedy plaintiffs' harm and this extraordinary tool is unnecessary. 🟣 The government's request to dismiss plaintiffs' fundamental claims (alleging violation of the Fifth Amendment regarding equal treatment and due process) was rejected. Based on the principle of "avoiding constitutional issues when possible," the court declared that since the case was completely resolved on administrative grounds (APA law), there's no need to rule on constitutional provisions at this time. This ruling is signed by Chief Judge John J. McConnell and is enforceable. Source: Immigration to America Channel BrmTheGreat 📡 @VahidOnline

Al Hadath news network reported on Friday, June 5th, citing "informed sources" that Tehran has announced to Islamabad its agreement to transfer part of its uranium reserves to a third country. According to this report, the main remaining disagreement in negotiations between Tehran and Washington relates to the release of Iran's blocked assets, and the method and mechanism for releasing these assets continues to be one of the major gaps between the parties. @ VahidOOnLine Fars News Agency, affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, on Friday June 5th, citing "an informed source close to Iran's negotiating team," denied Al Arabiya's report about Tehran's agreement to transfer part of its enriched uranium reserves to a third country. Fars News Agency, quoting this source, reported that the claim made by Al Arabiya is "incorrect" and that the issue of transferring uranium reserves is not on the current negotiation agenda. According to this informed source, nuclear-related issues are not being discussed in the current stage of talks and their examination has been postponed to later stages of negotiations: "First, the American side must take specific and decisive actions and we must reach clear and final agreements on some fundamental issues." Al Arabiya had previously reported that Tehran announced to Islamabad its agreement to transfer part of its enriched uranium reserves to a third country, and this third country would be selected with the agreement of the negotiating parties. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Joseph Aoun, President of Lebanon, in an interview published on Friday, asked Iran not to interfere in Lebanon's affairs. He also told the Hezbollah group, Tehran's supported ally, that the only solution to the conflict with Israel is diplomacy. In this conversation with CNN news network, he addressed Iran saying: "This is not your country, it's our country... interfering in our country is not your responsibility." Mr. Aoun added: "They use Lebanon as a bargaining chip in their negotiations with the United States. This is unacceptable." The Lebanese President also said: "Hezbollah must understand that there is no way other than sitting down and talking; there is no other way to solve this problem and save what remains, except through negotiation and diplomacy." Hezbollah is designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, but the European Union only considers its military wing as terrorist. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The United States Central Command, CENTCOM, denied the Islamic Republic Army's claim about firing missiles and drones toward American destroyers in the Sea of Oman. Iranian media reported on Friday, citing the army, that its naval force had fired "Ghadir missiles and new offensive drones" as a "warning" toward two American destroyers, and that these two destroyers left the Sea of Oman toward the Indian Ocean. CENTCOM, which oversees U.S. military forces command in the Middle East, announced an hour later on X network: "Iranian forces have not attacked U.S. Navy warships and have not opened fire toward them. Such action would constitute a clear and flagrant violation of the ceasefire." This statement emphasized the continuation of Iran's naval blockade that began in late April. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline
