❗️Ansarallah reportedly signaling readiness to join war against Israel, vows Hezbollah will not stand alone

According to sources close to Yemen's Ansarallah movement cited by Mehr News Agency, political, military, and operational coordination between Ansarallah, the Lebanese resistance, and other Axis of Resistance groups has never stopped.

The sources said any new escalation by Israel would be met with a unified response from the Axis of Resistance, stressing that Sanaa will not allow Lebanon to be left exposed to Israeli attacks and will not allow Hezbollah to stand alone on the battlefield.

They also said there is widespread public readiness and enthusiasm in Yemen to join the fight alongside the Lebanese resistance, with Yemeni fighters reportedly eager to take part in any future confrontation.

They have said this thoughout the war though, this and threats to the read sea - at most we have gotten a few rockets here and there but nothing substantial. Not that I blame them in the slightest, they are a warrior people but they also need time to build civilly and militarily before they join battle again.

What I think is most interesting are the reports of Hamas having started building fiberoptic drones. If they can learn from Hezbollah, there could be a more asymmetry on the Palestinian front. So when shit breaks loose, hopefully it will be too ouch for the Zionists, but we'll see.

😌🇮🇷/🇮🇱

Immediate evacuation order From the IRGC to the Residents of the settlements in northern occupied Palestine are informed that the area marked on the attached map, including Upper Galilee, Lower Galilee, the Golan Heights, and Haifa, is now designated as a closed military zone. In the event that your criminal leaders attack the southern Dahieh of Beirut or the city of Beirut, this area will become a target of the Iranian armed forces.

And to the honorable Palestinian people, we say: it is time to reclaim your land. Our fire is at your service. The evacuation of settlers from the occupied territories may be a preliminary step for your return to it.

❗️Italian dockworkers block military logistics hub in Mediterranean to disrupt supply chains fueling Gaza genocide

Italian anti-war campaigners and grassroots trade unions have launched a coordinated land and sea blockade at the strategic southern port of Gioia Tauro, aimed at disrupting western military supply chains fueling the Israeli genocide in Gaza. The mobilization, organized under the "Global Intifada Disarm" banner, saw a flotilla of activist vessels converge this week on the Calabrian hub alongside nationwide strikes targeting factories and logistics nodes linked to Israeli military production.

Activists directly accused Rome and multinational shipping giant MSC of complicity, revealing that 16 containers of dual-use ballistic steel used for missile manufacturing have been stalled on the docks due to persistent public exposure. The direct action achieved an immediate victory when the container ship MSC Manasvi turned back to sea without loading under-scrutiny cargo, following a tip-off from BDS Italy to local dockworkers.

The Calabrian terminal, one of the Mediterranean's most vital transshipment hubs, has become a primary flashpoint after Italian financial police were forced to inspect suspicious Indian-origin steel shipments earlier this year. The mounting pressure has sparked a parliamentary inquiry by the Five Star Movement, with union leaders emphasizing that sustained surveillance is the only way to prevent authorities from quietly smuggling arms components to Israel under the cover of night.

Organizers have framed the port blockades as a convergence of anti-imperialist solidarity and local labor struggles against the exploitation of Italy’s global south. Port workers and youth movements vowed to expand the maritime mapping of vessels transporting dual-use materials, declaring that the Mediterranean belongs to its working-class communities rather than the western war economy.

The Gioia Tauro shutdown marks a significant escalation in Italy's broader resistance movement, which has seen continuous university occupations and dockworker mutinies since the departure of the Global Sumud Flotilla last autumn.

❗️Slovenian President reinstates Palestinian flag at Presidential Palace

ExpandIn a direct challenge to Slovenia's newly inaugurated administration, President Natasa Pirc Musar ordered the Palestinian flag to be raised over the Presidential Palace in Ljubljana on Friday. The executive action came less than twenty-four hours after the incoming Prime Minister, Janez Jansa, marked his first day in office by removing the flag from the main government headquarters.

According to Anadolu Agency, Pirc Musar announced that the flag would fly prominently on the palace facade for one week before being relocated inside the building as an ongoing symbol of opposition to gross violations of international humanitarian law, stressing that the unchecked genocide against Palestinians has denied peace and dignity to the people of Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The presidential intervention has exposed an institutional rift within the EU member state following a turbulent transfer of power. Jansa, a staunch ally of US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, quickly dismantled the visible remnants of his predecessor Robert Golob's pro-Palestine foreign policy, leaving only the Slovenian, Ukrainian, and EU flags at the government headquarters. Israel’s Foreign Ministry quickly celebrated Jansa's takeover, thanking the new premier and announcing plans to open an embassy in Ljubljana without delay as the new administration prepares to roll back state recognition of Palestine and relocate its embassy to occupied Jerusalem.

Under the previous government, Slovenia formally recognized Palestinian statehood in June 2024, enacted a comprehensive weapons trade ban against Israel, and enforced strict travel sanctions on certain Israeli ministers.

❗️Jewish settlers, under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, have set large fires across agricultural lands in the village of Madama, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

According to local reports, the settlers are burning dozens of dunams of farmland, fruit trees, and a civilian vehicle, while Israeli troops reportedly fired live ammunition at residents attempting to repel the attack, detained dozens of young men, confiscated Red Crescent volunteers' equipment, and prevented civil defense crews from extinguishing the blaze as the fires continued to spread.

❗️Handala claims responsibility for Tel Aviv car bombing, says senior Mossad influence warfare official was targeted

Hacktivist group Handala claimed responsibility for a car bombing in Tel Aviv on 4 June, alleging that the operation eliminated "one of the senior managers of Mossad's New Influence Unit (Iran Desk)" after "months of surveillance, pursuit operations, and close monitoring."

In a statement, the group said the official was killed when "a bomb planted in his personal vehicle exploded" on Highway 20 (Ayalon Highway).

Handala described the attack as a response to Israeli operations against Iran, adding: "This is the fate of criminals. Even the regime's most security-protected individuals are not safe in their usurped homes."

The group also challenged Israeli authorities, asking: "Will the security services of the Zionist regime dare to tell the truth, or will they continue to deny it?"

Israeli authorities have not confirmed the claim. Meanwhile, Israeli media reports have presented conflicting accounts regarding the identity of the victim. Initial reports said a man had been killed in the explosion, while later reports cited by Israeli outlets, including The Times of Israel, said investigators were examining the possibility that the victim was actually a woman.

Israeli police said the incident remains under investigation and described the suspected background as "criminal."

Handala's allegations regarding the victim's identity and affiliation have not been independently verified.

🇺🇸🇮🇶 — US envoy Tom Barrack praises disarmed factions:

We extend our warmest congratulations to the Iraqi Prime Minister on this important step, which represents a cornerstone for renewed Iraqi self-governance, based on restored sovereignty, lasting stability, and the promise of national revival. We also commend the groups whose initial decision to return all weapons to the Iraqi state will contribute to building order. Prime Minister Zaidi's confidence is well-placed; this is only the beginning.

‘Given the continuation of the crimes of the Zionist entity in Lebanon and considering that Lebanon was part of the preconditions for the ceasefire, and that this ceasefire has been violated on all fronts, the Iranian negotiating team will suspend talks and the exchange of texts through intermediaries.

Iran emphasizes the following:

  • The neccesity of an immediate cessation of attacks by the Zionist regime in Gaza and Lebanon.

  • The necessity of a complete Israeli withdrawal from the occupied areas in Lebanon.

  • Until Iran's view in this regard is met, there will be no further talks.

  • The Resistance Axis and Iran, together, have jointly determined to completely block the Strait of Hormuz and activate other fronts including the Bab Al-Mandeb Strait, in order to punish the Zionists and their allies.

❗️Israeli firm BlackCore deployed sophisticated cyber operations to sabotage left wing candidates in France

A sophisticated cyber espionage and defamation campaign orchestrated by the Israeli firm BlackCore targeting left-wing, pro-Palestinian candidates from La France Insoumise (LFI) has sent shockwaves through the French political establishment. According to Middle East Eye, the covert operations, which struck during the March municipal elections in Marseille, Toulouse, and Roubaix, utilized automated fake accounts, localized smear advertisements, and highly sensitive data leaks, including the personal tax information and passwords of LFI MP François Piquemal.

Victims and security analysts have condemned the operation as an unprecedented assault on French democratic sovereignty, designed specifically to penalize LFI candidates for their vocal opposition to Israel's genocide in Gaza.

The digital footprints of the interference lead back to technology firms based in Tel Aviv, raising critical questions about foreign state involvement. In Toulouse, where Piquemal narrowly lost his mayoral bid to right-wing incumbent Jean-Luc Moudenc, the cyber onslaught coincided with an intense domestic pushback from local branches of the pro-Israel lobbying group Elnet and the Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions (Crif).

Despite an investigation by France's digital interference watchdog, Viginum, allegations have surfaced that the French state has attempted to redact and shelve the findings to avoid a major diplomatic rupture with Tel Aviv, while Paris prosecutors have opened an independent criminal probe into organized election destabilization.

The high-tech sabotage is widely viewed by intelligence experts as a dangerous "dress rehearsal" for deep-seated interference ahead of France's 2027 presidential election. Security analysts note that while French intelligence historically braced for Russian disinformation, the threat from Israel has caught the state off guard.

As right-wing forces like Jordan Bardella’s National Rally pivot toward pro-Israel stances to gain international backing, LFI officials warn that the lack of robust independent monitoring bodies leaves France's upcoming national ballots highly vulnerable to sophisticated foreign manipulation.

The IRGC says ‘Israel’ must immediately stop attacks on Lebanon, withdraw from occupied Lebanese areas behind international borders, and recognize Lebanon’s territorial integrity.

It says there can be no regional calm without a ceasefire on all fronts, including Lebanon, and frames support for Lebanon as a duty of the region’s peoples.

Statement says the people of Lebanon are the pride of the Islamic Ummah and the symbol of the honor of the region’s nations. Iran will support them with all its being, and no calm will be established in the region without withdrawal from the occupied areas of Lebanon.

[2026-06-02] Yedioth Ahronoth via Al-Manar – Hezbollah’s Nighttime Drones Becoming Israeli Soldiers’ Nightmare: Visiting Comrades at Rambam Hospital Say More

Expand article

Yedioth Ahronoth indicated that the concerns have been confirmed, and the “Israeli” army is worried about the use of explosive loitering gliders at night.

The Hebrew newspaper added that one of the Givati Reconnaissance fighters who came to visit those wounded in the drone incident that struck the force heading toward Al-Shaqif Castle said: “It is very strange that a drone was able to strike a military force at night. This has never happened before to combat units.”

Yedioth Ahronoth cited “Israeli” security sources as saying, “There is a constantly rising learning curve, and not only in the field of drones. They improve the accuracy of their fire every time anew. Therefore, we try to move as much as possible within the security zone along the Yellow Line, and during maneuvers we avoid remaining in fixed positions.”

“The Israeli army and Hezbollah are engaged in what security sources describe as a ‘learning battle’. According to these sources, Hezbollah studies the army’s methods and improves from time to time.”

The paper pointed out that Israeli soldiers continue arriving at Rambam Hospital in Haifa to visit their wounded comrades, adding that they describe the atmosphere as difficult and frustrating.

Yedioth Ahronoth interviewed a soldier who came to check on his friend wounded by a suicide drone.

“Fifteen killed during what is called a ‘ceasefire,’ while there is no ceasefire at all. Perhaps Hezbollah’s drones now have new thermal cameras, and they can actually see our forces while they are moving,” he said.

Fighters also continue entering treatment rooms to support the families of the wounded, according to the Zionist paper.

—❗️🇮🇱/🇱🇧/🇮🇷 BREAKING: Israel and Lebanon have reached their own so-called ‘ceasefire agreement’ brokered by the United States

  • Per the agreement, the ceasefire is contingent on a complete halt to fire by Hezbollah and the withdrawal of all Hezbollah operatives from south of the Litani River.

  • In the statement, Lebanon declared that it has no hostile intent toward Israel.

  • Lebanon designates Hezbollah as an enemy of the Lebanese state.

  • The two sides agreed to move forward with zones in which the Lebanese Armed Forces would exercise exclusive control, excluding all non-state armed groups.

  • Israel and Lebanon reaffirmed that they have no hostile intentions toward one another.

Malding

The Lebanese government is so stupendously cucked it's almost funny. Unfortunately, their naked treachery only results in Lebanon being unable to mount an effective national resistance and effectively decolonize itself.

I think we are seriously approaching a point where Hezbollah and non-puppst elements of the Lebanese military will have no choice but to stage coup. Unfortunately, as long as it's dirty Shi'ites being butchered, a large part of Lebanon will look the other way.

I'm not sure who is more feckless and utterly diabolical in their servitude to zionists, the Palestinian Authority, or the Lebanese government. It's frankly a close race between Aoun and Abass.

[2026-06-01] IRNA – Source of attack on Sirik Island telecommunications tower targeted: IRGC

Expand article

Tehran, IRNA – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), in a statement, announces a retaliatory strike by its Aerospace Division at the source of the recent US aggression against a telecommunications tower on Sirik Island, Hormozgan Province.

The statement from the IRGC's Public Relations Department in the early hours of Monday said that Aerospace Force fighters successfully destroyed all predetermined targets at an American air base, from where the aggression originated.

The IRGC Aerospace Force also warned that the repeat of such aggression would trigger a response with "different in nature,” adding that responsibility for any escalation would rest with "the aggressive and child-killing US regime".

The US military has taken a number of anti-Iran measures in breach of a Pakistan-mediated ceasefire, including unprovoked strikes and violation of airspace, as well as imposing the so-called naval blockade on Iranian ports.

Sirik Island is located in the southern Iranian province of Hormozgan, near the strategic Strait of Hormuz in the Persian Gulf.

❗️New investigation reveals Iranian attacks dealt far greater damage to at least 20 US military sites than previously acknowledged

An investigation by BBC Verify published on 1 June found that Iranian attacks have damaged at least 20 US military sites across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, Bahrain, and Oman since the war began at the end of February.

Using satellite imagery and video analysis, BBC Verify said the scale of the damage appears significantly greater than publicly acknowledged, with some analysts estimating that as many as 28 bases may have been hit.

Among the most significant losses were three THAAD anti-ballistic missile batteries damaged in the UAE and Jordan.

The US operates only eight THAAD batteries worldwide, each costing about $1 billion and requiring crews of roughly 100 personnel.

Satellite imagery also showed heavy damage to refueling and surveillance aircraft at Prince Sultan Airbase in Saudi Arabia, including an E-3 Sentry aircraft, which US media estimate could cost up to $700 million to replace.

BBC Verify also cited damage at Ali Al Salem Airbase and Camp Arifjan in Kuwait, where analysts identified destroyed fuel storage bunkers, aircraft hangars, troop accommodation, and satellite communications infrastructure.

The report said at least 42 aircraft have been destroyed or damaged since February, including F-15s, F-35s, 24 MQ-9 Reaper drones, and an A-10 attack aircraft.

The Pentagon previously estimated the total cost of the war at $29 billion, much of it linked to repairing or replacing equipment.

Military analysts told BBC Verify that Iran adapted its tactics during the war, shifting from large missile barrages to more precise attacks against high-value targets.

Experts argued that US forces were slow to adjust, leaving aircraft and critical infrastructure exposed. The report warned that extensive damage to bases and the heavy consumption of air-defense interceptors could leave US facilities across the Gulf increasingly vulnerable if all-out war resumes.

  • "If the war continues and the naval blockade is not lifted, we will extend the war to the Indian Ocean, the Bab al-Mandab Strait, the Red Sea, and the Mediterranean."

  • "By striking those other U.S. bases, we will take the war to another dimension."

  • "The United States will undoubtedly suffer far greater losses. America's damages will be very severe."

  • "If Trump takes the negotiations seriously, $24 billion is not a large sum for the United States. If he wants to reach an agreement with Iran, this $24 billion is a test of trust that Iran wants to have with Trump."

  • This is a test that America must pass, and then the path will open. This is our money, not America's money.

— 🇮🇷 🇮🇷 Official IRGC statement:

‘At 01:30 AM today, four hostile oil tankers, guided and directed by the aggressor American military, and without coordination or regard for the warnings issued by the IRGC Navy, attempted an illegal passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

After warnings, one of the tankers was targeted and brought to a stop, while the other tankers turned back.

Following this incident, at 02:00 AM, American drones struck a telecommunications tower in Qeshm, and a naval facility in Sirik with two projectiles.

In response to this American aggression, the IRGC Aerospace Force immediately targeted two American air bases in Kuwait, including Ali Al-Salem, as well as that which was left of the American 5th Fleet in Bahrain, with ballistic missiles.’

The US air bases in Kuwait and the US Navy's 5th Fleet in Bahrain have been targeted by Iranian missiles.

We warn the aggressor and child killing enemy that repeating these evil acts will not be confined to a limited response. You would be fully responsible for the consequences, including the complete closure of the Strait of Hormuz to the export of all oil and gas.’

❗️UK lawmakers call for tracking British nationals who took part in Gaza genocide

ExpandGreen Party leader Zack Polanski and Your Party leader Jeremy Corbyn have backed urgent demands for the British government to track and monitor UK citizens who took part in the genocide in Gaza. An open letter spearheaded by Declassified UK and the International Centre of Justice for Palestinians urges London to place returning dual nationals under strict secondary screening at ports of entry to ensure robust war crimes investigations.

Around 2,000 British-Israeli dual nationals have actively participated in the ongoing slaughter in Gaza.

Signatories of the letter, including prominent lawmakers Diane Abbott and John McDonnell, warned that potential war criminals are reintegrating into British public institutions, including schools and hospitals, posing a direct threat to the public and the local Palestinian diaspora.

The grassroots push comes amid a total refusal by London’s Metropolitan Police to investigate a detailed 240-page dossier exposing 10 British nationals implicated in the targeted killings of civilians and aid workers. Activists maintain that tracking is a necessary measure given the UN and international human rights bodies' findings that Israel is perpetrating a live genocide.

Predictably, Zionist lobbying groups and Conservative Party officials have slammed the initiative, accusing its organizers of stoking division and anti-Semitism. Polanski’s office forcefully hit back at the criticism, reiterating that the British government has a legal obligation to act against any citizen complicit in the well-documented atrocities.

BREAKING | Israel has expanded its forced displacement orders to include Tyre's historic Christian Quarter, after largely sparing the area over the past week. This, too, is happening under the pretext of targeting Hezbollah.

Tehran:

The spokesperson for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Brigadier General Hossein Mohabb, said on Wednesday evening that the destruction of the passenger terminal at Kuwait Airport was the result of an error in American "Patriot" systems.

Brigadier General Mohabb added, in a statement quoted by Fars News Agency: "The investigations we conducted regarding the strike on the Kuwait Airport passenger terminal revealed that the Revolutionary Guard's Aerospace Force did not launch any missile towards this target, and that the destruction of the Kuwait Airport passenger terminal was caused by an error in the American 'Patriot' systems, which fell on this terminal after failing to intercept Iranian missiles."

❗️UAE non-oil growth slows as Hormuz disruptions hit trade

The UAE’s non-oil private sector recorded only modest growth in May as the US-Israeli war on Iran and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz weighed on business activity and demand, according to a survey released on Wednesday.

The seasonally adjusted S&P Global UAE Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) rose to 52.6 in May from 52.1 in April, remaining above the 50-point threshold that signals expansion.

"The continued cut-off to maritime trade had a cascading effect through the UAE economy in ⁠May ... Export orders declined in May, driven by both the actual shipping disruption as well as the continued sense of uncertainty over how long the conflict will last," said David Owen, principal economist at S&P Global Market Intelligence.

Owen added that supplier delivery times deteriorated to their worst level since April 2020, during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic.

❗️Israeli forces storm Birzeit University women dorms and abduct four Palestinian students

Israeli occupation forces launched a pre-dawn military raid into the occupied West Bank town of Birzeit, storming the female student dormitories of Birzeit University near Ramallah. Armed soldiers ransacked the civilian housing complex before forcibly abducting four Palestinian women and taking them to an undisclosed location.

The abducted students have been identified as Jolan Abu Awwad, Natali Abu Dayya, Laila Nael Khalil, and Sama Safi. Local sources confirmed the targeted operation was part of a larger, coordinated mass-detention campaign across the occupied West Bank today, which resulted in the arbitrary arrest of over 30 Palestinians by occupation troops.

The targeted assault on the university housing follows a deeply entrenched Israeli pattern of targeting Palestinian educational institutions, an ongoing policy of systematic harassment that UN experts describe as "scholasticide."

As much as I understand Iranian restraint and the need for anti-imperialists to be measured in their approach, I must admit that kinda wish they'd just flatten these zionist ghouls with hundreds of missiles. For every Palestinian civilian harmed, ensure 2 zionists settlers suffer in retribution.
