It Is Not Just About Regime Change – It Is About Reshaping The Region: The Post-Ayatollahs Iran Has To Include Non-Persians

The solution to Balochistan's 77-year plight is not regime change in Tehran or Islamabad.
The solution to Balochistan's decades-long occupation is to give full control of the republic of a united Balochistan to its own people.

Not The Mullahs Nor The Shah
Both Iran and Pakistan are repressing, persecuting, jailing, and massacring the Baloch people. Today's Mullah regime in Iran is executing our people on bogus charges, demolishing Baloch villages to pave the way to shift its capital Tehran to Makuran,[1] in Balochistan's Chabahar coastal regions, tomorrow the Pahlavi regime will continue the legacy of Khamenei by suppressing the Baloch nation as his father Reza Shah Pahlavi in 1973 helped Pakistan's Prime Minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto quell our legitimate independent movement.[2]
We desire to inform all those people who are helping install Reza Pahlavi in Tehran after expelling Khamenei, that their money, blood, and efforts will be wasted if they do not include Baloch, Kurds, Ahwazis, and the other non-Persian ethnic nations that comprise 50 of the population as stakeholders in this entire process.
Khamenei is funding proxies to harm Israel and the Middle East, the Pahlavi will continue developing the Iranian nuclear program with a beardless face and diplomatic attire.
A placard reads: "Iran is a country of 70 nations. A coalition of parties. One person [referring to Reza Pahlavi] is not an attorney for the whole country. Any coalition of any kind, if it is going to happen, must be formed with all parties." (Source: Twitter)

SDF chief, US envoy meeting to ‘accelerate' SDF-Damascus deal: Kurdish-led council

Also in Syria 2000 ISIS militants active in Syria's desert: Brigade spox Turkey demolishes historic military base amid peace talks with PKK US-backed forces to launch anti-ISIS operation in Syria: Brigade spox Syria expects to elect new parliament in August: Official A+ A- DAMASCUS - An anticipated meeting between Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) chief Mazloum Abdi and US Special Envoy for Syria Tom Barrack will 'accelerate' talks between the Kurdish-led northeast Syria (Rojava) administration and Damascus to implement a landmark March agreement, the SDF's political wing said on Wednesday. Abdi and Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa signed a landmark agreement on March 10 to integrate the SDF into the Syrian state apparatus. The agreement recognizes the Kurds as an integral part of Syria, includes a countrywide ceasefire, and stipulates the return of displaced Syrians to their hometowns. 'We are awaiting an upcoming meeting between the US Envoy Thomas Barrack and General Mazloum Abdi. I believe that after this meeting, the discussions will accelerate and we will enter the phase of implementing the [SDF-Damascus] agreement,' Ali Rahmun, the Syrian Democratic Council (SDC) representative in Damascus, told Rudaw. The SDC serves as the political wing of the Kurdish-led and US-backed SDF, the de facto army of Rojava. Rahmun said that while it was agreed to form delegations between Rojava and Damascus to implement the agreement, 'disputes between the current [Damascus] authorities' have delayed practical steps. In June, a Rojava delegation met with a Syrian government-appointed committee to finalize the Abdi-Sharaa agreement's implementation. The Rojava administration described the meeting as 'positive and constructive,' with a focus on resolving exam-related issues and safeguarding students' rights and the integrity of the education system. Kurds in Rojava, like other minorities in Syria, are concerned about the centralization of power and reliance on Islamic jurisprudence in the transitional constitution that has been adopted by the interim government in Damascus. Syria's interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa has vowed to form an 'inclusive transitional government that would reflect Syria's diversity,' but has faced domestic and international criticism that he has marginalized minority communities.

Iranian Security Forces Fire On Women In Balochistan, Killing One, Injuring 11

On July 1, 2025, Iranian security forces opened fire on innocent and unarmed Baloch women in Gunich village in Karvandar Rural District in the Central District of Khash County in Balochistan. The unprovoked attack killed one Baloch woman, Khan Bibi Bamri, 40, a resident of Khash, and injured 11 others. Local Baloch sources say that the other 11 injured Baloch women were: Madina Bamri, 24; Saba Bamri, 17; Esra Bamri, 18; Rahm Bibi Bamri, 32; Sanj Malek Bamri, 45; Asal Bamri, 20; Mohaddesa Bamri, 16; Mahtab Bamri, 50; Fatima Bamri, 26; Lali Bamri, 40; and Rayhane Bamri, a 21-year-old pregnant woman who miscarried after being beaten by officers and hit by a shotgun. The Iranian occupying forces killed one Baloch woman and injured 11 others.

The Iranian forces, which suffered a military defeat under Israeli and U.S. airstrikes, retaliated after the ceasefire by massacring Baloch civilians. This attack is a clear example of the brutality of the Iranian forces, who have been weakened by aggression from powerful countries and whose crimes against Baloch civilians momentarily pause during such external conflicts. The Iranian occupying forces – including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force (IRGC-QF) and other intelligence agencies – have made life unbearable for the Baloch people for several decades. In the coastal regions of Balochistan, Iranian forces have been carrying out large-scale, undeclared operations. On the orders of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, the IRGC is harassing Baloch communities in Chabahar, Zahedan, Khash, and other coastal areas. Homes that have stood for centuries are being demolished to pave the way for a strategic plan that includes relocating the capital of Iran from Tehran to Chabahar. The attack in Khash is yet another example of the collective punishment being inflicted by the Iranian occupying regime on the Baloch nation – a campaign that has intensified following the Iran-Israel war. In the wake of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, Ayatollah Khamenei's regime has launched a brutal crackdown against the Kurds and Baloch in Iranian-occupied Balochistan. Baloch civilians are being abducted from their homes, killed in staged encounters, and detained without trial, in blatant violation of international law. The Baloch May Extend Protests To A Nationwide Movement By Aligning With Kurds, Ahwazi Arabs, And Other Non-Persian Ethnic Groups The July 1 killing of a Baloch woman and injury of 11 others has sparked a wave of outrage across Iranian-occupied Balochistan, with the Baloch nation rising in widespread protest. Reports of shutter-down strikes and road blockades are pouring in from various areas. The secular Baloch uprising against the Iranian occupying forces signals the emergence of a new revolution. If Iranian oppression continues unchecked, the Baloch may expand their resistance into a nationwide movement by aligning with the Kurds, Ahwazi Arabs, and other non-Persian ethnic groups – a movement that could ultimately lead to the fall of the Iranian regime and contribute to lasting peace and stability within the region.

New district in Iraq: Diyala's Qara Tapa elevated

Shafaq News – Baghdad On Wednesday, Iraq's Planning Ministry approved the elevation of Qara Tapa to district status in Diyala province, according to ministry spokesperson Abdul Zahra al-Hindawi. The move, al-Hindawi asserted, followed confirmation that Qara Tapa met national planning standards through a feasibility study conducted by the ministry's Regional and Local Development Department. Elevating Qara Tapa to district status is expected to enhance local service delivery, spur job creation, and support urban and rural development through more focused governance. Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad and home to nearly 1.6 million people across diverse communities of Arabs, Kurds, and Turkmen, has faced challenges in infrastructure delivery and regional development.
