Having seen off a U.S. military campaign, Iran's theocratic rulers must now manage the competing demands of hard-liners buoyed by surviving the onslaught and those of an impoverished, angry people. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/06/16/world/politics/war-iranian-rulers-angry-population/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #middleeast #iran #straitofhormuz #mojtabakhamenei #revolutionaryguard
With war likely over, Iranian rulers must face demands of embittered population

Iran’s powerful hard-liners and ordinary people both have high expectations, conflicting demands ​and little patience.

"An #Iraqi man who was recently #arrested in #Turkey has been charged with plotting an array of #attacks against #Jewish targets, including on a #synagogue in #NewYorkCity, in response to the #US-#Israel #war with #Iran.

A criminal complaint that was unsealed on Friday claims that #MohammadBaqerSaadDawoodalSaadi, 32, is a commander in the Iraq-based #Kataib #Hezbollah that functions as a proxy for Iran. The complaint was unsealed when #alSaadi appeared in federal court in #Manhattan.

The complaint alleges that al-Saadi is responsible in part for organizing the attacks in #Europe that have been claimed by a new group, #HarakatAshabalYaminalIslamiya. It marks the first major disclosure of intelligence information tying the group directly to the #QudsForce, the overseas arm of the #Iranian regime’s #Islamic #RevolutionaryGuard Corps, and includes multiple photographs of al-Saadi meeting in person with #IRGC leaders."

Il Tempo: "Attenti al vortice mortale". Hormuz, i pasdaran minacciano Trump

Le forze iraniane hanno il pieno controllo dello Stretto di Hormuz, sottolineano i Guardiani della rivoluzione anticipando il rischio, per i nemici, di rimanere intrappolati "nel vortice mortale" delle sue acque "se faranno i calcoli sbagliati". "Tutto il traffico è sotto lo stretto controllo delle forze armate", ha dichiarato il comando navale dei Pasdaran su X dopo che Donald Trump ha minacciato il blocco navale per le navi in entrata e in uscita dallo Stretto.

Da Teheran avevano fatto sapere che lo Stretto di Hormuz è chiuso e rimarrà tale finché Washington non accetterà un accordo ragionevole. E' quanto ha riferito l'agenzia di stampa iraniana Tasnim, citando una fonte informata dei Pasdaran, dopo il fallimento dei negoziati a Islamabad tra Usa e Iran. Tra i principali punti di contrasto, la gestione del cruciale passaggio marittimo.

Beware of the deadly vortex. Hormuz, the Pasdaran threaten Trump.

Iranian forces have full control of the Strait of Hormuz, the Revolutionary Guard warn, anticipating the risk for enemies of becoming trapped “in the deadly vortex” of its waters “if they make the wrong calculations.” “All traffic is under the strict control of the armed forces,” said the naval command of the Pasdaran on X after Donald Trump threatened a naval blockade of ships entering and exiting the Strait.

From Tehran, it had been made known that the Strait of Hormuz is closed and will remain closed until Washington accepts a reasonable agreement. This is what the Iranian news agency Tasnim reported, citing a source briefed by the Pasdaran, after the failure of negotiations in Islamabad between the US and Iran. Among the main points of contention was the management of the crucial maritime passage.
