— / NEW: U.S. military action against Iran could come in the form of a 'campaign' that could last 'weeks', which would see the targeting of Iran-backed militias in airstrikes across Syria and Iraq, as well as strikes on Iranian assets outside of Iran – NBC

/ — Foreign Minister of Iran, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian: The Iranian response to American threats will be decisive and direct

— / BREAKING: The United States is considering the official recognition of Palestine as a sovereign state, after the end of the war on Gaza – Walla

— / 'U.S. Intelligence Officials have determined that Tehran does not have full control of its proxy groups' – Politico

The above article by Politico is the media spin that the Biden administration will use as an excuse not to attack Iranian assets directly, or at least not inside Iran, as some have claimed would happen.

About two days ago, media went crazy over a statement posted by Kataeb Hezbollah, one of the militias in Iraq believed to be behind the recent drone attack in Jordan, stating that they would be suspending their offensive operations against U.S. forces in the region and would shift to a defensive posture.

However, the most interesting part of the statement was a paragraph in which they said: 'Some of our brothers in the Axis, especially in the Islamic Republic (of Iran) do not know how we do Jihad, and they often object to our pressure and escalation against U.S. occupation forces in Iraq and Syria.'

Both Pro-Resistance and Anti-Resistance commentators have used this as an opportunity to claim there is now a 'rift' between Iran and Kataeb Hezbollah. However, this is NOT the case.

In fact, this was clearly a calculated statement by Kataeb Hezbollah, or a psyop as some would call it, to make it SEEM like there was a rift between Iran and its proxies, including Kataeb Hezbollah.

If they could make it seem like there is a rift between Iran and its proxies, then Iran has plausible deniability regarding the attack on U.S. troops in Jordan; Iran can simple say 'See? We didn't know it was gonna happen, in fact we told them not to do these things!'

This gives the U.S. sufficient of an excuse NOT to strike Iran or Iranian assets directly, as they can now use Kataeb Hezbollah's statement as 'evidence' that Tehran does not directly control its proxies, and therefore, should not be held directly accountable for their escalatory actions in the region.

Kataeb Hezbollah's statement helped both Iran and the United States, as neither country wants the expansion of the war.

Statement of Iraqi Resistance leader Sheikh Akram al-Kaabi:

“We said, and we repeat, and we affirm that our decision is Iraqi, and that we will not stop until we achieve two things: stopping operations in Gaza and the withdrawal of the American occupation of Iraq.

As for the temporary suspension of our brothers in Kataib Hezbollah, brothers of jihad, blood, weapons and destiny, after our conversation with our dear brother, the Mujahid leader Abu Hussain al-Hamidawi and clarifying the reasons, the truth and wisdom in what he decided became clear to us, and we respect and appreciate that and value his sacrifice in these circumstances. It will be proven in the future that his decision was taken with courage and selflessness, and awaiting the soon auspicious return of the Victory Brigades and the cancellation of the suspension when the embarrassment and the ruling reasons are lifted. Moreover, what is coming from the American psychological warfare machine, which continues to thunder and foam with threats and intimidation, will not shake a hair for us or discourage us, and any targeting will face a response that suits it, and we affirm that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq, with its other factions, will continue with its decision until its demands are achieved, and God is the Supporter of the Believers.”

BIG SUCCES: Iran’s Intelligence Ministry says they identified a spying and terrorist network linked to israel in 28 countries in Asia, Africa and Europe.

The intel agency says it has arrested some individuals in Tehran and other cities and is keeping some under security watch. Iran will share the cache of data on Mossad agents with intelligence services of other countries.

For example, the Turkish police arrested 7 MOSSAD-linked individuals who had passed information to the israeli spy agency.

This is considered a massive success for Iranian intelligence after its 2010 discovery of a big CIA-network in the region.
