Qalibaf, Araghchi, then what about my leader's blood?! Some domestic Iranian media have published images from a gathering of some government supporters on Saturday evening who were chanting slogans against signing a potential agreement with America, opposing some Islamic Republic officials. In one of these gatherings held at Ibn Sina Square in Tehran, protesters chanted slogans against the Foreign Minister and Speaker of the Islamic Consultative Assembly such as "Araghchi, have some shame, abandon the country" and "Qalibaf, Araghchi / then what about my leader's blood?" Some media outlets close to reformists have identified these individuals as "those close to the Steadfastness Front." The Student News Agency has also published photos from a gathering in Mashhad showing placards opposing the agreement as well as harsh criticism of the negotiators. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Fars News Agency, media outlet affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards: Trump's strange insistence on signing agreement with Iran on Sunday and a test for the negotiating team 🔹 Hours ago, Donald Trump, the US President, once again emphasized that a "memorandum of understanding" with Iran will be signed on Sunday. This comes while Iranian negotiating officials had explicitly announced that the agreement is not yet finalized and will definitely not happen on Sunday. 🔹 A noteworthy point is that Sunday coincides with June 14th, Trump's birthday. Some observers speculate that with this insistence, he is seeking to symbolically exploit this occasion and turn it into a promotional event for himself. 🔹 However, given the clear positions of Iranian officials that the agreement is not finalized, it appears that our country's negotiating officials are aware of these hidden layers and will not allow such a media and ceremonial maneuver. From this angle, the fate of Sunday's signing will be not only a technical test for the content of the agreement, but also a test of the honesty and steadfastness of Iranian officials against theatrical pressures. @ VahidOOnLine The news website Axios, citing informed sources, wrote that the reason for the video signing of the agreement between the US and the Islamic Republic is "implementation and logistical considerations" and the impossibility of JD Vance's travel to Pakistan. Axios wrote that one of the main reasons for the video signing of the agreement between the US and the Islamic Republic is that if Vance were to travel to sign the agreement, he could not return to America before Trump's departure to participate in the G7 summit in France on Monday morning. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

☄️ Trump: Agreement to be signed tomorrow and Strait of Hormuz to open immediately Trump's post, machine translation: Barack Hussein Obama's agreement with Iran, meaning the JCPOA, was an easy, beautiful and smooth path toward nuclear weapons; weapons that Iran could have acquired six years ago and used long before now. My agreement with Iran is the exact opposite: a wall preventing access to nuclear weapons! In fact, they no longer want nuclear weapons and will not have such weapons; not through purchase, not development, and not any other form of procurement. This agreement is to be signed tomorrow and immediately after signing, the Strait of Hormuz will be open to all. Our relationship with Iran is very different and better than the relationship previous administrations had. Unlike the hundreds of billions of dollars Obama paid them, including $1.7 billion in cold, green cash, no money will change hands. At the right time, when everything is calm, we will enter and obtain the "nuclear dust" buried deep in the powerful granite mountains sunken beneath the sun – thanks to our beautiful B-2 bombers and their brilliant pilots – and we will dilute and destroy it; both in Iran and in the United States. We look forward to cooperating with Iran and throughout the Middle East for a long future. I hope this process moves forward quickly, easily and smoothly for everyone. If not, we have the ultimate option available; an option I hope will never be used again! Thank you for your attention to this matter!!! President Donald J. Trump realDonaldTrump 📡 @VahidOnline

The Parliamentary Research Center has warned in its latest report on the country's electricity grid that despite a relative increase in generation capacity, electricity imbalance will continue in the summer of 2026, with the possibility of blackouts, especially during nighttime hours. Based on estimates from the Energy, Industry and Mining Studies Office of this center, in a realistic scenario, the electricity shortage at peak summer consumption will reach approximately 13,600 megawatts. In this assessment, the simultaneous supply capacity of the grid is predicted to be around 68,400 megawatts while demand is expected to exceed 81,000 megawatts. @ VahidHeadline Received message: Today the villages of Khoshkbijar had their electricity cut off from 4:45 PM for about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Iranian media and officials reported on Saturday that several Iranian banks' services simultaneously experienced problems, with the disruption continuing into the afternoon. ISNA news agency announced that "Melli, Tejarat, Saderat, and Pasargad banks" were among the banks whose mobile banking and ATM systems were disrupted. Fars news agency reported that "Export Development Bank" also had similar disruptions and added that "some sources have reported the possibility of a cyber attack, but so far no official authority has confirmed or denied this matter." An hour later, Alireza Qeytasi, Secretary of the State Banks Coordination Council, spoke with IRIB without referring to details about the reasons for this incident, saying: "Restoration of services for Melli, Saderat, Tejarat, and Export Development banks is underway." Attacks on Iran's banking network have precedent in recent years, and customer information from various Iranian banks has repeatedly been targeted by cyber breaches and bought and sold in cyberspace and on the internet. @VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

The export control order, citing concerns related to national security, has prohibited access for "foreign nationals," both inside and outside America. Anthropic, the creator of the "Claude" AI assistant, announced on Friday, June 12th, that following receipt of an export control order from the US government, it has cut off access to its two advanced models, "Fable 5" and "Mythos 5," "for all users." This order was issued citing "national security authorities" and prohibits access for any "foreign national," whether inside or outside US territory, and even Anthropic's own foreign employees. Anthropic said it received this order at 5:21 PM Eastern Time. Since the company cannot instantly separate foreign users from others, it was forced to deactivate both models for all customers. Access to the company's other models, including Opus, remains unchanged. According to reports by Axios and The Wall Street Journal, the order letter was sent by Howard Lutnick, US Secretary of Commerce, addressed to Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, and was prepared in cooperation with the Bureau of Industry and Security of that ministry. The letter text did not specify exact details of the security concern, but according to a government official, Washington became worried about national security risks after another company claimed it was able to bypass Mythos's safety mechanisms ("jailbreak" it). The same official added that the government had previously tried to persuade Anthropic to delay the release of these models, and after failing, issued the "export control" letter. Anthropic has opposed this decision but said it will comply with it. According to the company, the disclosed method is a "limited jailbreak"; in practice, it means requesting the model to read code and debug it; minor and pre-known vulnerabilities that other public models, including OpenAI's GPT-5.5, are also capable of finding. Anthropic emphasized that Fable 5 was released with safety measures far stronger than any previous model and before publication, was tested for thousands of hours in cooperation with the US government, the UK AI Safety Institute, and independent groups. The company called preventing access to a commercial model available to hundreds of millions of users because of a limited vulnerability "disproportionate" and warned that if such criteria were extended to the entire industry, the release of virtually any advanced model would be halted. This order was issued just three days after the unveiling of Fable 5 and Mythos 5. Models that Anthropic had introduced as its most powerful systems. Both are built on the same technical foundation, but only Fable 5 was released to the public with strict limitations, particularly in cybersecurity and biology fields; Mythos 5 was made available without these restrictions and only to a number of trusted partners, including cybersecurity and infrastructure companies. These two are continuations of "Mythos Preview." A model that this spring attracted the attention of Wall Street and government officials with advanced cyber capabilities and was distributed among a limited group within a framework called "Glasswing." But the importance of this affair goes beyond one model and one company: this is the first time Washington has used the export control lever regarding an advanced commercial model. This situation shows that a model's fate can be determined not by the creator's decision, but by government order. The "nationality-based" framework of this restriction also directly targets non-American users and companies. Anthropic says it accepts government stoppage of unsafe releases, but within a legal, transparent framework based on technical realities. An action that according to the company has not been read with such criteria. Anthropic has called this affair a "misunderstanding" and said it will publish more technical details in the next 24 hours and is working to restore access, although it has not announced a specific timeframe for it. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline

Lebanon's official news agency reported on Saturday, June 13th, that hours after issuing warnings to residents of southern Lebanon, the Israeli army conducted airstrikes on several points in the region. The Israeli army warned residents of 20 locations in southern Lebanon on Saturday morning, including the city of Nabatieh, that they must leave their homes and move north of the Litani River. The Israeli army announced that this warning was issued following ceasefire violations by Lebanon's Hezbollah. Now Lebanon's national news agency says that Israeli fighter jets have bombed several points including the two villages of Sajjoud and Rayhan near the city of Nabatieh. Israel declared all areas south of the Litani River a "war zone" last month and has been bombing these points since then. In early March, just one or two weeks after the joint US-Israeli attack on Iranian soil, Hezbollah launched an attack on Israel in support of the Islamic Republic, an attack that immediately drew a response from the Israeli army. The conflict between these two continues and has persisted even after a ceasefire was established about two months ago. @ VahidHeadline 📡 @VahidOnline

Scott Besent, U.S. Treasury Secretary, announced in an interview with Fox News that given the progress of negotiations, a peace agreement with Iran is expected to "likely be finalized by the end of this week or Monday." Besent noted that Donald Trump's decisions to prevent Tehran from acquiring nuclear weapons imposed short-term costs and pressures on the fuel market and American families' economy, adding: "We understand that difficult conditions were experienced in recent months and rising energy prices consumed a large portion of wage growth, but we are getting through this crisis situation." The U.S. Treasury Secretary, emphasizing that the country's economic infrastructure is currently operating very strongly and the energy market is well-supplied, pointed out that with the resolution of this dispute and curbing inflation, global oil prices have decreased about 25 to 30 percent from their peak and domestic gasoline prices more than 10 percent, and the downward trend in prices and reduction in people's living costs will continue strongly. @ VahidOOnLine 📡 @VahidOnline
