FBI Warns Of Iran And Hizbullah Sleeper Cells In U.S. – The MEMRI JTTM Monitors Their Activity, Alerts Law Enforcement
In the aftermath of the Israel-Iran war, and as the FBI announced, the U.S. is facing threats from Iranian and Hezbollah sleeper cells within the country. The MEMRI Jihad and Terrorism Threat Monitor project monitors this and other jihadi activity in the U.S. and Canada, providing timely alerts to law enforcement, on the federal, state, and local levels. Our alerts about jihadi activity have in the past led to arrests, helped support prosecutions, and led to convictions.
Monitoring Extremist Imams And Islamist Organizations In The U.S.
In the U.S. and Canada, and across the West, MEMRI's Sermons By Imams in the West project is monitoring extremist imams and Islamist organizations who are often behind anti-U.S. and anti-Israel protests and activity – such as the rally in Portland, OR where participants chanted "Death to America! Death to Israel!" and called "the American entity" – the U.S. –"a den of liars."
Our work is praised by leading reformist Muslim figures. This week the Egyptian-American Maghdi Khalil, a MEMRI board member, affirmed that MEMRI's translations "follow the mainstream" in its areas of focus, which he underlines is its mission. He emphasized that MEMRI "is a respected American institution in Washington D.C., and they invited me to be on their board of advisors," enumerated several prominent board members, praised MEMRI Vice President Amb. Alberto M. Fernandez, who, as he said, "was in charge of Alhurra TV for a long time."
MEMRI Is The Only Organization Translating Qatari Government Media; Our Qatar Monitor Project Researches The World's Foremost Supporter Of Terrorism And Of The Muslim Brotherhood
As multiple Members of Congress from both sides of the aisle are supporting legislature to declare the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, MEMRI's research continues to expose the Qatari regime – the main sponsor of the Muslim Brotherhood and terrorism around the world – and will serve Congress as an important resource. With our Qatar Monitor Project, we maintain the largest archive in the world of translated content from Qatari media, including its Al-Jazeera network, as Qatar continues to pay massive sums to gain influence in American and Western politics, higher education, media, and other areas of U.S. and Western life – including backing pro-jihad, pro-Hamas, and pro-Iran activity.
For many years, we have been closely following the Qatar-supported International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS), which is one of the Qatari regime's main tools for disseminating extremist anti-Western Islamist ideology, routinely inciting jihad, terrorism and antisemitism. The IUMS recently called the U.S. "the cause of all our troubles."
Additionally, our work on the Russia-Iran-China triad that is acting against the U.S. and its allies, focusing on primary sources in all three countries, is unique to MEMRI.
As a MEMRI subscriber, you realize the amount of work we are doing and the amount of material we are publishing. We are doing more than other research organizations many times our size with many times our budget. Please help support us today.
With gratitude,

Russia's Borisoglebsk Airport struck by Ukraine
Shafaq News – Kyiv/Moscow On Saturday, Ukrainian military forces targeted Borisoglebsk Airport in Russia's Voronezh region, hitting a bomb storage facility and damaging a training aircraft in what officials described as a precise operation. Following the strike, the Russian Federal Aviation Agency suspended flight operations at Egis and Ivanovo airports, citing concerns over potential Ukrainian drone attacks. The attack coincided with an announcement by US President Donald Trump, who emphasized that Ukraine would require additional Patriot missile systems to reinforce its air defense capabilities. Hours earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced that he and Trump had agreed during a phone call to enhance cooperation on air defense. Describing the conversation as 'fruitful,' Zelenskyy noted that the two leaders also discussed expanding broader defense collaboration, including joint production and procurement. 'We have also agreed to a meeting between our team,' he added. The call, which lasted approximately 40 minutes, came after Trump spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on July 3. According to the Kremlin, Putin reaffirmed Russia's intention to pursue its military objectives in Ukraine. In turn, Trump accused the Russian leader of prolonging the conflict, stating, 'Putin wants to push forward and keep killing people.'

Iran nuclear program tops Trump-Netanyahu agenda
Shafaq News - Washington US President Donald Trump intends to discuss Iran's nuclear program during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday. Addressing a group of reporters, Trump described Iran's nuclear program as having suffered a 'lasting setback.' He cautioned, however, that nuclear activities could resume at alternative locations, noting Tehran has neither agreed to international inspections nor halted uranium enrichment. His remarks came after Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Tehran had formally informed the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran of its decision to suspend cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Israel conducted a surprise air operation on June 13 targeting multiple military and nuclear sites across Iran. In the following days, the US also launched a series of airstrikes on key Iranian nuclear facilities including Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi later confirmed the attacks caused 'significant damage' to the targeted sites.

Trump optimistic on Gaza truce after "good" Hamas response
Shafaq News – Washington/Gaza On Saturday, US President Donald Trump welcomed Hamas's response to a proposed ceasefire in Gaza, calling it 'good', expressing his optimism that an agreement could be finalized within days. 'We need to do something about Gaza. We're sending a lot of money and aid,' Trump noted during a press briefing, expressing hope for a deal this week despite not being fully updated on the status of the negotiations. Earlier this week, Trump indicated that Israel had accepted 'the necessary conditions to finalize' a proposed 60-day truce. Hamas, in turn, confirmed it had reviewed the plan submitted by mediators and later delivered what it described as a 'positive' response. The group also conveyed its readiness to begin immediate talks on implementation mechanisms. While the Israeli government has not issued an official position, local media reported that Tel Aviv had received Hamas's reply and was reviewing the contents, with the possibility of sending a delegation to the mediators. As diplomatic efforts continue, conditions on the ground in Gaza have sharply worsened. The United Nations reported that at least 613 Palestinians have been killed since late May while attempting to access humanitarian aid. Ravina Shamdasani, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, briefed reporters in Geneva that most fatalities occurred near Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) food distribution sites or aid convoys, warning that the actual death toll could be higher, with verification still underway. She also accused Israel of blocking UN investigators from entering Gaza. Meanwhile, the Israeli military announced it had carried out approximately 100 airstrikes in the past hours, targeting what it described as ''rocket launch sites, weapons storage facilities, tunnels, and other militant infrastructure.'' Ground operations are still ongoing in Gaza City, Khan Younis, Rafah, and northern areas, with forces reporting the discovery of additional tunnels and explosive devices.
