A first-person account from Iran
"Like the battle of Karbala, this war must be fought till the end,' Reza Ahmadi, a juice vendor in his 30s, told me, as he went about his business on the busy Naser Khosro street in Shiraz, a historical town of gardens, wine and poetry in southwest Iran's Fars province. It was just two days after Israel had launched airstrikes on Iran, on Friday, June 13. Reza was invoking the 7th-century clash that, in Islamic history, stands as a symbol of moral resistance against political tyranny. We were talking amid street celebrations for Eid al-Ghadir, the air thick with revelry and the aroma of sweetened drinks. Every 10 seconds or so, the sky lit up with streaks of intercepted drones, followed by a thud of explosions. And yet, Reza barely flinched.

Two events held by Zakat Authority Branch & Jiblah University to commemorate Wilayah Day in Ibb
Ibb - Saba: The branch of the Zakat Authority in Ibb Province organized a cultural event on Sunday to commemorate Wilayah Day, the auspicious Eid al-Ghadir, under the slogan "For whomsoever I am his Mawla, Ali is his Mawla." During the event, Sheikh Muqbil Al-Kadhi, a member of the Yemeni Scholars Association, emphasized that sincere and practical allegiance to the Wilayah (guardianship) of Imam Ali guarantees the dignity of this nation. He pointed out that following the divine Wilayah protects the nation from aligning with its enemies, the Jews and Christians. Al-Kadhi reviewed the events at Ghadir Khumm, where a massive gathering of Muslims witnessed a solemn scene during the Prophet's (PBUH) return from the Farewell Pilgrimation, under divine command. He recalled the Hadith of Wilayah, which is documented in both Sunni and Shia sources. The event featured speeches and poetic recitations highlighting the importance of commemorating this day as a great occasion that strengthens allegiance to the path of Wilayah—devotion to Allah, His Messenger, and Imam Ali—for its profound impact on preserving the nation's honor, dignity, and unity. In a related event, Jiblah University of Medical Sciences and Jiblah University Hospital organized a speech and cultural event to mark Eid al-Ghadir, the day of Imam Ali bin Abi Talib's (AS) Wilayah. University President Dr. Abdullah Al-Matari stated that Wilayah Day represents an exceptional and pivotal occasion that established the divine Wilayah as the nation's path, extending beyond the Prophet's (PBUH) passing. He stressed the urgent need for the nation to return to the path of Imam Ali's Wilayah, which is an extension of the Prophet's guardianship and, in turn, an extension of Allah's Wilayah—ensuring the nation's protection from deviation or division. Dr. Al-Matari praised the stance of the revolutionary and political leadership, along with the free people of Yemen and the Yemeni Armed Forces' heroic military operations in support of Gaza. He noted that this stance is a natural outcome of their adherence to the path of allegiance to Allah, His Noble Messenger, and Imam Ali. Whatsapp Telegram Email more of (Local)

More Vahid Salemi/AP Photo What To Know Two alleged Mossad spies were arrested in Tehran and were found in possession of large amounts of explosives and drone equipment, the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA) reported on Monday. In Alborz province, police said two were arrested a day earlier and accused them of producing explosives. Meanwhile on Sunday, a man identified as Esmaeil Fekri was hanged. Arrested in 2023, Fekri was charged with attempting to transmit information strategic site location and personnel details in communication with Mossad operatives, the agency reported. At least two more were executed on similar spying charges in 2025, the news agency said. Mossad agents deployed inside Iran planted explosive drones and launched precision strikes on missile defenses near Tehran to clear the way for Israeli jets ahead of the recent strikes, several media cited unnamed Israeli security officials as saying. Meanwhile, The Wall Street Journal reported that agents smuggled parts for hundreds of explosive-laden quadcopter drones and unmanned munitions into Iran over several months, according to insiders. Days before the Israeli offensive, Iran said it had acquired classified documents on Israel's nuclear program, with Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh saying the move demonstrated Iran's "intelligence superiority" over Israel and praised Iranian "infiltration capabilities." "This brilliant victory... not only shattered the fabricated myth of Mossad but also dismantled the pretentious façade of the sinister Zionist regime's security structure, delivering yet another strong blow to its hollow hegemony," he was quoted as saying by IRNA. Iran did not release the documents as it threatened. What People Are Saying Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday: "We paved the way to Tehran and our pilots over the skies of Tehran will deal blows to the Ayatollah regime that they cannot even imagine." The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps in statement Sunday, according to Tasnim News Agency: "This is just the beginning of the course of 'national revenge'. The Zionist regime must bear in mind that the era of unpunished crimes has ended." What Happens Next The conflict continues to escalate as Israel said it will carry on with strikes against Iran while Iran has vowed more missile attacks on Israel.
