Bazeshkian: 'Israel Tried to Assassinate Me, and This Is What Trump Wants from Iran' - Jordan News
Iranian President Masoud Bazeshkian declared in an interview with Al Jazeera, 'We are prepared for any Israeli military action, and our forces are ready to strike deep inside Israel once again.' اضافة اعلان Bazeshkian stated that Israel had delivered strong blows to Iran, but Tehran also struck deep into Israeli territory—strikes he said Israel hides and refuses to publicly acknowledge, adding, 'Their request for a ceasefire says a lot.' He dismissed claims that Iran's nuclear program has ended as nothing more than an illusion. 'We do not seek war, nor do we assume the ceasefire is permanent, but we will defend ourselves with full force,' Bazeshkian said. He accused Israel of attempting to destabilize, dismantle, and eliminate Iran through chaos and attacks on the regime, but said those efforts had failed. He acknowledged that Iran has experienced breaches, but stressed that technology and the use of American capabilities are the determining factors. Bazeshkian reiterated, 'Iran has not and will not surrender, and this is clear to everyone. But we believe in diplomacy and dialogue.' He added, 'Any future negotiations must follow a win-win logic.' The Iranian president pointed out that regional countries had never shown such unified support for Iran as they did during the most recent war. He firmly stated, 'We completely reject the possession of nuclear weapons—this is our political, religious, humanitarian, and strategic stance.' He also remarked, 'Trump says Iran must not acquire nuclear weapons—we accept that as well.' However, Bazeshkian emphasized that uranium enrichment on Iranian soil would continue in accordance with international law, saying, 'Claims that our nuclear program has ended are delusional. Our nuclear capability lies in the minds of our scientists—not just in facilities.' He also affirmed, 'We are fully prepared to establish a joint collective security concept with our Arab neighbors and other countries in the region.' On Qatar, Bazeshkian clarified, 'We have never attacked Qatar, nor can we. Qatar is our sister, and its people are our brothers—we support them fully.' He stressed that Iran's strikes were aimed at a U.S. base that had bombed Iran, not at Qatar or its citizens. 'I understand the feelings and position of the Qatari people regarding what happened,' Bazeshkian said, noting he had spoken by phone with the Emir of Qatar, adding, 'All our intentions toward Qatar are positive, fraternal, and we are ready to help in any way they need.' Regarding an assassination attempt, Bazeshkian revealed, 'The incident was part of Israel's efforts to assassinate political leaders after targeting military ones.'

'As-Suwayda'… The Final Laboratory for World War - Jordan News
Whenever the Zionist entity begins to feel cornered, it seeks an outlet—an escape forward. Each time it fails to achieve military decisiveness, it attempts to reshape the conflict by amplifying a particular threat or creating a new theater of operations. Today, as its deterrence erodes in Gaza, Tel Aviv suddenly turns its eyes to southern Syria—specifically, As-Suwayda—placing it under a cloud of suspicion. اضافة اعلان What's striking in recent reports from Israeli media, especially those close to security decision-making circles, is the unmistakable tone of panic. The narrative goes beyond the typical 'Iranian activity,' delving into a scenario of a 'mass infiltration' involving global jihadists, Bedouin tribes, and an Iranian military infrastructure embedded deep within Syria. This is not a sober intelligence assessment, but a carefully crafted narrative echoing the events of October 7, albeit setting the stage for a darker, murkier version of that day from the Zionist perspective. Superficially, the Zionist entity presents this narrative as part of its defensive preparations. But in essence, it signals a dangerous shift in the rules of engagement: from preemptive security measures to the brink of launching a battle that has yet to begin. A state that once responded to emerging threats now seeks to fabricate a theoretical danger as a pretext for striking what remains of Syria's state infrastructure in the south—possibly as a means to deflect from its mounting losses in Gaza and under Iranian strikes. As-Suwayda is not a conventional battlefield. It is a sensitive zone, charged with public anger and civil protest, while simultaneously lacking strong security presence from the Syrian state. This political and security vacuum makes it an ideal environment for engineering a volatile and explosive scenario. There are many players in the south, yet the Zionist entity aims to monopolize the threat narrative and control the moment of action. Hence, it has launched selective operations inside Syrian territory—all under the pretense of 'preventing another October 7.' But the crucial question remains: Is Israel genuinely afraid of a real threat emerging from As-Suwayda and Daraa, or is it preparing to manufacture an enemy tailored to fit this moment? The Zionist fear of southern Syria is not new, but it is now entering a new and dangerous phase. Tel Aviv is no longer content with observing the situation or conducting sporadic strikes—it now seeks to expand the scope of the conflict to towns and villages that have historically not been part of the military confrontation. It is even speaking openly about the possibility of 'armed groups' storming settlements near the Golan Heights—a message primarily aimed at its domestic audience, still traumatized by the breach of Gaza's perimeter, and secondarily at the international community, which may accept such narratives as justification for escalation in Syria. History may not repeat itself with the same details, but the Zionist fear of another October 7 runs deep. It goes beyond the event itself to the existential dread of losing control. What Israel truly fears is not just infiltration through its fences—but infiltration into the minds of its own people, a realization that armies, walls, and warplanes can no longer guarantee security. To those who believe that southern Syria has become an open laboratory for signaling that Syria is finished, I say: they may be surprised to find that beneath its ashes lies burning embers. What is brewing in As-Suwayda—politically and socially—may yet ignite a front unlike Gaza or South Lebanon, but one that carries the seeds of a third world war.

Hunter Biden suggests Joe Biden's disastrous debate was due to Ambien
Ammon News - Former President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, said his father's disastrous debate performance against President Donald Trump that led to the Democrat stepping aside as presidential candidate was the result of him taking Ambien due to his travel. "And I'll tell you what, I know exactly what happened in that debate. He (Joe Biden) flew around the world, basically the mileage he could have flown around the world three times. He's 81 years old. He's tired as shit," the former president's son said in an interview released, opens new tab on Monday with YouTube creator Andrew Callaghan. "They give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage and he looks like he's a deer in the headlights," Hunter Biden added. Ambien is a medication used for short-term treatment of sleeping problems. Joe Biden's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment late on Monday. The former president prepared at Camp David with his aides for several days for the debate. Prior to being at Camp David, the Democrat took two European trips and was on the U.S. West Coast for a fundraiser. The former president's debate performance against then-Republican presidential candidate Trump, in which the Democrat regularly struggled to finish his thoughts, triggered a backlash against Biden's candidacy for the 2024 elections. Less than a month after that June 27, 2024, debate, Biden stepped aside as presidential candidate after having trailed Trump in the polls. Former Vice President Kamala Harris then became the candidate for the Democrats and went on to lose to Trump in the November elections. In the days after the debate, the former president blamed his debate performance on jet lag after two overseas trips earlier that month. In the interview released on Monday, Hunter Biden also expressed frustration with Democratic voices, strategists and lawmakers who abandoned his father's candidacy following the debate. Reuters
