Emergency Appeal: Help Support The MEMRI Iran Studies Project Campaign
MEMRI's Iran Studies Project, led by native-born Iranians, operates 24/7/365, monitoring, translating, and analyzing content from Iranian TV, social media, websites, blogs, online forums, and more. It identifies trends and provides real-time insight into Iran's thinking and planning, tracking major developments and threats before they happen.
Over nearly three decades, the project has produced thousands of translations from Iranian primary sources and hundreds of original analysis pieces on issues of vital importance – and Iranian broadcast content comprises a significant part of MEMRI's nearly 12,000 translated clips. It also maintains a massive archive of translated Farsi media from this research.
No other organization, or government, is doing this vital work.

Article In Egyptian Daily: U.S. President Trump Acts Like Hitler To Impose His Control And Is A Threat To The World
On June 29, 2025 the independent Egyptian daily Al-Masri Al-Yawm, owned by businessmen like Salah Diab and Naguib Sawiris, published an article titled "Is There a Resemblance between Trump and Hitler?", written by Ahmed Sherin Fawzy, a former governor of Egypt's Monufia governorate. The article claims that U.S. President Donald Trump and the leader of Nazi Germany, Adolf Hitler, are similar in their policies, marked by "arrogance," "intimidation" and use of "political pressure and bullying to achieve their aims." The only difference between them, Fawzy says, is that is that "Hitler was defeated and his rule ended in destruction, whereas Trump continues to seek to solidify his influence, posing an ongoing threat to the world." He concludes by wondering whether Trump will lead to another global conflict and whether the American people will "pay the price for Trump's arrogance and recklessness, just as the German people paid for Hitler's hubris." It should be noted that, in the past few months, this daily published numerous cartoons presenting Trump as a Nazi and the world as a victim of his Nazi positions, such as the two cartoons below.[1] Trump as a Nazi in March 8, 2025 cartoon in Al-Masri Al-Yawm February 22, 2025 cartoon in Al-Masri Al-Yawm presents Trump as a Nazi whose pro-Israeli positions set the "Middle East" on fire The following is an English version of Fawzy's article posted June 30, 2025 in the online newspaper Egypt Independent.[2] "Across different eras, there have been leaders who have arrogantly wielded their power, disregarding international laws and resorting to political pressure and bullying to achieve their aims. Among them, Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler share certain similarities in their aggressive policies, both domestically and internationally. "Hitler relied on military force and direct threats to assert his control over European nations, aiming to create a 'Greater German Reich' through occupation. Trump, on the other hand, chooses instead to leverage military, economic, and political power to extort nations and assert American dominance, opting for these methods over direct military intervention—at least for now. "Hitler exploited weaker nations, forcing them to finance his wars through imposed taxes and financial blackmail. Trump has used a similar approach with some countries, compelling them to inject billions of dollars into the U.S. economy,[3] which reflects his style of political and economic extortion. On top of that, Trump made statements about seizing the Panama Canal and renaming it the 'America Canal' [sic]. His racist policies toward Latin American countries have further caused significant friction. Even traditional U.S. allies like Canada, Mexico, and some European nations such as Denmark weren't spared from Trump's controversial decisions. "Additionally, Hitler enacted forced displacement against minorities, compelling Jews and others to leave their lands through coercion or detention. Trump has adopted a similar concept with the Palestinians, proposing their forced relocation to Sinai and Jordan as part of his 'Deal of the Century' [sic]. However this plan faced strong rejection from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and the Egyptian people, who viewed the forced displacement of Palestinians as a betrayal of the Palestinian cause and a threat to Egypt's national security. "Furthermore, Hitler withdrew from the League of Nations, refusing to abide by international laws. Similarly, Trump pulled the U.S. out of the World Health Organization and the Paris Climate Accord. He also utilized the veto power against U.N. Security Council resolutions that condemned his actions in the Middle East, including siding with Israel in its conflict with Iran to dismantle its nuclear program and realize the 'New Middle East' project. "Hitler ignited World War II, leading to widespread devastation across Europe. Trump, meanwhile, has escalated crises in the Middle East through actions like moving the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, supporting Israeli settlements, imposing normalization on some Arab nations, and finally, escalating conflict with Iran – all of which have intensified regional disputes. "Despite the differing circumstances, Trump's approach mirrors Hitler's in its use of intimidation of other nations, arrogance, and exploitation of power to serve his interests. This includes economic extortion of certain Arab countries, attempts at forced displacement of Palestinians, and imposing oppressive policies globally. The sole distinction is that Hitler was defeated and his rule ended in destruction, whereas Trump continues to seek to solidify his influence, posing an ongoing threat to the world. "Finally, will Trump lead the world into a new global conflict? And will the American people pay the price for Trump's arrogance and recklessness, just as the German people paid for Hitler's hubris?"

Iran's Pezeshkian: Nuclear bomb not in our doctrine
Shafaq News – Tehran On Tuesday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian firmly denied allegations that Iran is developing a nuclear bomb, calling them 'a mere lie.' In a speech, Pezeshkian insisted that nuclear weapons have never been part of Tehran's doctrine or strategic goals. 'These accusations are nothing but lies,' the Iranian president noted, affirming that 'we will not build a nuclear bomb. It has never been part of our doctrine or strategic objectives.' Referring to the recent Israeli war against his country, Pezeshkian questioned the justification behind attacks on Iranian civilians. 'Didn't you claim Iran is trying to build a nuclear bomb? Then why did you target civilians in your attacks?' he asked. He also accused Israel of carrying out 'systematic assassination policies' around the world, describing it as 'an entity that strikes and assassinates whomever it wants, whenever it wants.'

Iran says 75 escaped from notorious Tehran prison after Israeli attack
Also in Iran Trump ready to strike Iran as Tehran invites US for talks Iran announces nuclear talks with E3 in Istanbul Kurdish armed group blames Iran for deadly Sulaimani drone attack Iran says agreed to a new round of nuclear talks with E3 A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - Iran's judiciary on Tuesday said that 75 inmates escaped from the notorious Evin prison in Tehran following a deadly Israeli strike during the war between the arch-rivals, with 27 escapees remaining at large. An Israeli strike on the Evin prison complex during the 12-day war killed 79 people and destroyed a part of the prison's administrative building. The strike came as part of a bombardment campaign by Israel on Iranian soil that began on June 13 and triggered mass retaliation from the Islamic republic. Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir said that 75 prisoners escaped the facility in the aftermath of the strike, with 48 later returning or being captured by authorities, with efforts to re-arrest the remaining escapees ongoing. The victims of the June 23 strike included 'administrative staff, conscripts, prisoners, families of prisoners who had come to visit or follow up on legal cases, and nearby residents,' according to Jahangir. Israel struck the prison facility following Iran's execution of a man accused of spying for Israel, with Foreign Minister Gideon Saar stating at the time that the attack on Evin was intended to deter Iran's executions. On Tuesday, Amnesty International called for a war crimes probe into Israel's strike on the prison, labeling the attack 'deliberate' and 'a serious violation of international humanitarian law.' Established in 1972, Evin Prison in northwestern Tehran has long been a symbol of political repression in Iran. The facility is known for holding political prisoners, journalists, student activists, and foreign nationals. It has been widely condemned by human rights organizations for systematic abuse, including alleged torture and the use of dual nationals as leverage in international negotiations. During the 12-day war, the head of Iran's judiciary said that suspects accused of collaborating with Israel in its war will face expedited trials and be given no leniency. Iran has released several confessions of people accused of cooperating with or spying for Israel. Such confessions are widely believed to be coerced, often obtained through threats, psychological pressure, and, in some cases, physical torture.
