Inside Iran — A Death Sentence and a Wall of Names

  • Branch 26 of Tehran's Revolutionary Court sentences protester Peyman Ganji to death for 'waging war against God,' HRA News reports — another capital case from the December uprising.source
  • In Gothenburg, Sweden, a 'Wall of Eternal Names' is unveiled with more than 100 portraits of those killed in the Iranian National Revolution — the diaspora building memorials as the blackout hides the toll at home.source

Hormuz — Drone Swarm Downed, Rubio Warns India, Blockade Tally Climbs

Gulf & Naval
  • Iran launches multiple one-way attack drones at commercial ships transiting Hormuz; CENTCOM says U.S. forces downed all of them and traffic flow through the strait was never interrupted.source
  • Secretary of State Rubio warns India's foreign minister Jaishankar by phone that New Delhi must keep its commercial vessels compliant with the U.S. blockade and not let them carry Iranian oil through Hormuz.source
  • From the deck of USS Delbert D. Black, CENTCOM updates the running blockade tally: 141 commercial vessels redirected and 9 disabled in the Arabian Sea since enforcement began.source

Deal on the Doorstep — Trump Sets a Signing Date, Tehran's Hardliners Revolt

  • Trump declares the U.S.-Iran memorandum ready to sign within a day, contrasting it with Obama's JCPOA — which he calls 'an easy, beautiful, smooth road to a nuclear weapon' Iran would have had years ago.source
  • Inside Iran the deal splits the regime: outlets tied to Qalibaf frame it as a chance to regroup and return to war, while a parliament deputy and Fars News call Trump's push to sign on Sunday 'strange' and 'performative.'source

The Memorandum Fight — Hormuz Control at the Center

  • A draft clause read aloud on Tasnim would strip the regime of control over the Strait of Hormuz — and the right to collect tolls; a parliament deputy says it surrenders the strait permanently and blasts the leadership for accepting it.source
  • Fars News, the IRGC-linked outlet, reports its YouTube page was blocked under sanctions — a sign of the propaganda war running alongside the talks even as Tehran weighs the U.S. terms.source

Lebanon Front — Israeli Jets Strike Qusayr al-Ruz

Global
  • Israeli fighter jets carry out two airstrikes on the village of Qusayr al-Ruz in southern Lebanon, targeting positions tied to Hezbollah — the Lebanon front keeps simmering alongside the Iran track.source
