New round of war to be catastrophic
---- for the US: Leader's advisor
April 29th, 10:57pm
(PressTV)
A senior advisor to Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah
Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei says fresh aggression towards
Iran will be "catastrophic" for the United States.
"History will record that the Iranian nation sank the American
superpower in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman,"
Mohsen Rezaei, a former chief commander of the
Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), said
on Wednesday.
"American military personnel are warning that if the country
continues the war, there is a possibility that their vessels
will be sunk and their soldiers killed," he added.
In the event of fresh aggression, the US "should expect that we
will take a large number of their forces captive," added Rezaei,
also a member of Iran's Expediency Discernment Council.
The Islamic Republic's Armed Forces faced the latest bout of
the US' and Israeli regime's unprovoked aggression against
the country ---with at least 100 waves of decisive and
successful reprisals, targeting sensitive US and
Israeli targets across a large expanse of the
West Asia region.
Rezaei's remarks pointing to the potential of significant
human and material losses for the United States in the
event of resumption of the aggression came amid
admissions by US officials, themselves, about
the Islamic Republic's having retained a
significant portion of its military
capability ---- despite
the aggression.
Amid the Islamic Republic's retaliation, US President
Donald Trump announced a two-week lull in attacks
against the country on April 7.
Trump later - extended the ceasefire, but announced a
continuation of an illegal blockade of Iranian vessels
and ports --- in violation of the ceasefire's terms.
In response --- Iran has closed the strategic Strait
of Hormuz, to all traffic except the vessels that
coordinate with - and receive authorization
from - relevant Iranian authorities. The
move - has sent shockwaves through
global energy markets, including in
the US, where surging fuel prices
have further eroded.... Trump’s
already declining popularity.
Rezaei predicted that the US president could blame
Congress for the deadlock that has arisen from
the unprovoked aggression.
"If Congress.... decides against war, Trump can blame
Congress and the Democrats. If Congress supports
continuing the war - Trump will attribute the
consequences of prolonging the war...
to them," the advisor said.
The official, however, said "the least costly option"
for the US would be accepting the 10-strong
conditions that Iran has set towards the
realization of an end to the situation.
The conditions include the definitive conclusion of
whatever instance... of aggression against the
Islamic Republic, a cessation of aggression
on all fronts, removal of illegal sanctions,
and the provision of compensation.
Rezaei, meanwhile, categorically ruled out rumours
spread by the US and its allies concerning the
health condition of the Leader - describing
him as "young, healthy, and energetic,"
and asserting that he "is managing
the country’s affairs......
through prudence."
The Islamic Republic, he added, is resolved to exact
revenge on the adversaries - for the martyrdom
of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei's
predecessor, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali
Khamenei, who was targeted
---- in the early stages of
the aggression.
"The revenge for the martyred Leader remains in
place and will not be fulfilled - except with the
elimination of Israel."
The advisor concluded his remarks by noting that
the aggression had proven certain realities,
including Trump's having become
"a sacrifice - for Israel."
He was referring to the US's succumbing to pressure
applied by the Israeli regime to join the aggression
in order to try to realize Tel Aviv's ambitions.
Another reality emerging from the war - was that "Europe is
separating its path from the United States," Rezaei said in
reference to a refusal on the part of the US's European
allies to directly contribute to the aggression... and
their expressing doubt ...about Washington's
ability to "protect" them.

hospitals and non-military infrastructure during the recent war
of aggression against the country as a war crime and a crime
against humanity.
Iran's ambassador to the United Nations, Amir Saeid Iravani,
underlined that the Islamic Republic reserves the right to

Iran to soon unveil a weapon the enemy
is -- 'deeply afraid of': Navy commander
April 29th, 10:09pm
(PressTV)
Iran's Navy Commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani says
the Islamic Republic will "very soon" confront the
enemy with a weapon "it is deeply afraid of."
"And it is right next to them [too]," he noted on Wednesday
in reference to the weapon in question, adding, "I hope
they won't have a heart attack."
The commander noted how the enemies had wrongfully thought
they would achieve the results thay had sought through their
latest bout of unprovoked aggression against Iran "in the
shortest possible time," adding, "That very assumption
has now turned into a joke in military academies."
Referring to the Navy's retaliatory operations against enemy
targets throughout the aggression, Irani cited as many as
seven missile operations against the aircraft carrier
Abraham Lincoln.
The retaliation, he added, prevented the United States from
being able to launch aircraft or conduct air operations
from the carrier ...for a period of time.
Facing the aggression that began on February 28, Iran's Armed
Forces staged at least 100 waves of decisive and successful
reprisal - against sensitive US and Israeli targets - across a
large expanse of the West Asia region.
The commander said the United States' war efforts saw it deploy
missiles against the Iranian soil from platforms based on naval
units before engaging more missile platforms that required it
to bring in more destroyers.
"Even so, they remain stalled," Irani stated.
Another part of Iran's retaliation - featured the country's closing
the strategic Strait of Hormuz to vessels belonging to enemies
and their allies. The Islamic Republic ------ then subjected the
waterway to further restrictions, conditioning the passage
of vessels to their securing permission from the relevant
Iranian authorities. The latter move came after the US
announced continuation of an illegal blockade it has
been trying to impose on Iranian vessels and ports.
According to the commander, Iran has closed the Strait of
Hormuz, from the Arabian Sea. "If they move any closer,
we will take operational action without delay," he said.
Despite the blockade, he added, "some vessels have departed
from our ports, and some ....have reached their destinations."
He also strongly condemned the US forces' illegal seizure of
some Iranian vessels as part of the blockade, which he
denounced as not only "piracy," but also condemned
as "hostage-taking."
"They have taken crew members and their families - hostage
aboard ships," he stated. "The Americans are worse than
Somali pirates --- because Somali pirates acted out of
poverty, but these --- have added hostage-taking"
to their atrocities, Irani said.
However, the commander asserted that the Islamic Republic's
Armed Forces were sworn to avenging the nation's martyrs
"to the last drop of our blood."
"We will afflict a regret-inducing blow on them."

Hezbollah Lawmaker: It Would Be a Catastrophe
If President Aoun’s Remarks Were Intentional
April 29th, 9pm
(al Manar)
Loyalty to the Resistance Bloc MP, Ibrahim Al-Moussawi, on
Wednesday rejected comments by President Joseph Aoun,
suggesting the November 2024 ceasefire agreement gave
Israel freedom to attack Lebanon ---- calling it a “severe
confusion” ---- requiring an immediate correction.
Responding to Aoun’s remarks before economic bodies regarding
a US State Department statement, MP Moussawi said the Nov. 27,
2024 ceasefire deal “did not grant the enemy any privileges or a
free hand to attack Lebanon” and instead, affirmed Lebanon’s
right to self-defense - under international law.
He called the US statement — which he said gives Israel the right
to strike Lebanon — a “dangerous precedent,” demanding a
clear public Lebanese rejection. “Internal statements are
not enough,” he said.
MP Moussawi warned that ‘Israel’ could use Aoun’s comments to
justify “daily killings and massive destruction,” portraying them
as agreed upon with Lebanon. He urged a “clear and explicit
position to refute the enemy’s claims.”
He also called for diplomatic mobilization at the UN Security
Council ---- over the “systematic destruction of villages,”
criticizing the Lebanese Foreign Ministry as negligent.
“We hope the President’s remarks resulted from unintentional
ambiguities and can be corrected, because anything else
would be an outright catastrophe,” the statement from
Hezbollah’s Media Relations concluded.

Iran leverages fragile ceasefire to
regroup, replenish, and ready
itself.... for new battles
April 29th, 10:13am
by Mohammad Molaei
(PressTV)
The current extended ceasefire – since the 40-day war –
has proven to be more than a momentary halt to the
unprovoked US-Israeli aggression against the
Islamic Republic.
This period has served as an important re-evaluation and reset
phase for Iran, enabling a swift assessment of the war's
impact, operational recovery, and the consolidation
of several key components of the country’s
growing military profile.
A closer look at recent developments, alongside statements from
the Iranian authorities, suggests that Tehran has used this time
not only to sustain its recovery momentum from the
"Ramadan War" but also to strengthen its
capacity for a potential return to war.
The clearest sign of this accelerated recovery, has been
the marked uptick in logistical operations... in the days
immediately following the ceasefire earlier this month.
Increased military airlifts – including heavy-lift cargo planes
arriving at key airbases – point to an intensified effort to
replenish vital components, reinforce supply lines,
and sustain weapons production even amidst
the ceasefire that the US side
extended unilaterally.
While these military transfers.. remain officially unconfirmed,
the trend suggests that Iran is now executing its long-held
strategies of logistical decentralization, allowing it to
recover rapidly when put to the test, like in the
recent unprovoked and illegal war.
Multiple supply channels, combined with domestic
manufacturing capabilities, have enabled Iran to
absorb losses .....far more readily than its
adversaries might have anticipated.
Missile arsenal intact and growing
Perhaps the most significant aspect of this recovery
concerns Iran's missile arsenal, the cornerstone of
its deterrence strategy. Insights from the 12-day
war in June last year underscored the critical
role of missile technology in creating
operational opportunities.
According to local analyses and military sources,
missile production increased tenfold between
the end of that war and the start of the
Ramadan War.
Crucially, this growth did not stop; in fact, based on
available evidence, production has continued to
accelerate rapidly since the ceasefire was
first announced in early April. Such a
momentum contradicts assertions
by the United States and Israel
regarding a supposedly
crippled ------ Iranian
missile program.
These statements ignore an essential architectural feature:
much of Iran's missile production lines, storage sites, and
supply chains are incorporated in heavily fortified
underground facilities, often referred to as
"missile cities".
These facilities, built in mountainous regions and fortified
with multiple layers of protective measures, are capable
of withstanding the effects of the most powerful
bunker-busting explosives.
Interestingly, some are thought to be positioned at depths
and geological settings that are beyond the penetration
capacity of certain bunker-busting weapons (such as
the GBU-57 Massive Ordnance Penetrator).
As such, while surface targets may be prioritized, the bulk
of Iran's missile manufacturing infrastructure remains
unaffected and ready to continue production, even
in the face of constant bombardment.
Prudent spending
The second key variable has been its demonstrated policy
of prudent spending in the two recent imposed wars.
There are indicators that Iran deliberately
eschewed.. operating some of its more
capable systems and configurations,
instead opting to deploy its older
missile stockpiles ----- in
large quantities.
This strategy was multifaceted, used for both operational and
potentially strategic purposes: first, it allowed the depletion
of older stocks that had built up over decades; and second,
it provided the option to reserve some of the newer, more
advanced assets for purposeful escalation in the event
of a future war.
In this vein, reports suggesting minimal or no operational
use of some of these platforms (such as double-launcher
systems for the Kheibar Shekan missile) form a key
point of attention. These systems --- which can
double the missile firing rate, remain largely
undeployed, suggesting that Iran has the
potential to escalate the intensity of
missile launches if it resumes
operations in the event of
any act of aggression
in the future.
One critical aspect of this smart launch strategy - relates to
inventory and storage considerations in Iran's underground
missile silos. Bulkier, liquid-based missiles – like older
versions of the Qadr missile series – require
considerably more storage space than
newer models such as the solid-
fuelled Kheibar Shekan.
In prioritizing the deployment of space-consuming systems
during the early stages of war, it would appear Iran has
been slowly but surely, clearing the way in its storage
facilities for more compact, next-generation systems.
This upgrade not only aids in the system's survival capability but
also maximizes the number of systems that can be deployed in
protected areas. In turn, the sheer number of missiles used in
previous wars may only be a small fraction of the available
missiles in alternative scenarios.
Maritime power
In parallel, another aspect of Iran's deterrence strategy is the
maritime sector. Observations of US naval deployments
during the Ramadan war indicated a notable degree
of caution.
Despite the superior numbers and capabilities of US naval
assets on the scene, US aircraft carrier strike groups and
accompanying maritime forces reportedly maintained a
posture of standoff ...at a distance of roughly 300 kms
from Iran.
This offshore distance is understood - to be correlated with the
possibilities afforded by Iran's anti-ship capabilities, including
next-generation cruise systems and ballistic anti-ship
missiles from the Khalij Fars and Hormuz families.
Such systems, incidentally, have not been
widely used in past engagements,
implying.... that they are part of
Iran's "contingency arsenal".
The consequences of this restraint, are great. The use of
such capabilities in possible new aggressions may bring
about a fundamental change in the maritime balance,
which has posed significant threats - to high-value
naval assets like Arleigh Burke-class destroyers
in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman.
The synergistic integration of warheads with high speed and
manoeuvrability, terminal guidance systems, and saturation
attack tactics may make defense difficult and put even
modern naval platforms at greater risk. In such a way,
even the mere fact that these capabilities exist –
and have not been used to such an extent – is
a potent deterrent, capable of influencing
adversarial behaviour, without
necessarily having to
be deployed.
Statements from officials
The evaluation that the ceasefire period has been actively
used to make strategic preparations is further supported
by statements from senior Iranian officials.
A recent comment by Parliament Speaker and lead negotiator
Mohammad Bager Qalibaf signals that Iran is ready to roll
out new cards in the event of any future war, and this
has been well understood as an indication that
there are new capabilities that Iran is ready
to unveil – ones it has hitherto not
discussed, or perhaps,
not used.
The exact workings of these systems... are still the subject of
speculation, although the bigger picture appears to comprise
increased missile capabilities, perfected launch principles,
and perhaps novel operational concepts..... aimed at
exploiting gaps noted in past interactions.
Collectively, the events that have transpired during the ceasefire
period are leading toward one obvious conclusion: instead of
shrinking Iran's military capacities, the declarations of war
and the following resting period have spurred a process
of change and solidification.
The combination of a larger manufacturing capacity, safe-
guarded infrastructure, discriminating use of resources,
and conservative higher-end capabilities.. has placed
Iran in an enhanced strategic position as compared
to prior to the beginning of the imposed war.
In that regard, the balance of power has not been a frozen
affair but redefined around the ceasefire – extended
recently by the US president, unilaterally.
Should the aggression recur, the context in which they would
be practiced would most likely differ considerably from the
previous stages. Increased rates of missile production,
higher density of launches, the possibility of rolling
out hitherto unused systems, and implementing
maritime denial capabilities would all equate
to a more challenging, more complicated
scenario ---- for any enemy coalition.
The psychological concept that previous strikes have essentially
rendered Iran's deterrent force incapable of responding is thus
hard to maintain when analyzed in contrast to the structural
fortitude and adaptive options exhibited over the years.
Finally, the ceasefire window has highlighted a particular trend in
contemporary warfare: to a certain extent, temporal lulls do not
just freeze military action but give time to rejuvenate, innovate
and re-focus. In the case of Iran, it seems that this was a time
wisely utilized, where short-term recovery was turned into
long-term strategic benefit.

Israeli attack kills five family
members --------- in Lebanon
April 29th, 9:37am
(Prensa Latina)
Five members of the same Lebanese family, a child, three
women and an elderly man, died as a result of an Israeli
air attack on the city of Jebchit, in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon's National News Agency (NNA) reported that - “the
enemy carried out a new massacre” by bombing a building
belonging to the Bahjat family in the Jabal neighbourhood,
which caused its total destruction.
The victims were identified as Mohammad Jawad Bahjat,
his wife Latifa, Amani Jaber, as well as Maryam Hilal
Bahjat, and his son, Ali al-Rida Hilal Bahjat.
Rescue teams worked for hours to remove the debris
and recover the bodies, while work continues in the
affected area.
In parallel, Israeli airstrikes persisted today in various areas
of southern Lebanon, resulting in civilian casualties and
significant damage to homes and infrastructure, amid
intense drone activity.
Additionally, shelling of homes in Shamaa and Naqoura
was reported, as well as explosions in villages in the
Tire district and drone flights over Bayada
al-Mansouri and coastal areas.
On Tuesday, the Israeli military launched more than 65
attacks against southern Lebanon, resulting in at
least 22 deaths and 84 injuries, according to
media accounts.
Since March 2, the offensive left 2,534 dead, 7,863
injured and more than 1,600,000 displaced.
Despite the entry into force on April 17 of a ceasefire,
later extended until May 17, violations continue
through bombings against towns in the south
of the country.
In response, Hezbollah carries out limited rocket and
drone strikes against Israeli positions in southern
Lebanon and northern Israel.
Israel maintains a military presence in areas of
southern Lebanon, some for decades, and has
expanded its ground incursion in the context
of the current offensive.

More than 800 Palestinians murdered
in Gaza ...since the start of the truce
April 29th, 3:55am
(Prensa Latina)
At least 818 Palestinians have died from Israeli attacks in
the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the ceasefire in the
territory, on October 10 of last year, an official source
denounced today.
The Ministry of Health of the coastal enclave specified in
its latest report on the subject that the number of injured
exceeded 2,300, meanwhile, since that date, 762 bodies
buried under the rubble ....have been recovered.
According to the text, since the beginning of the war, in
October 2023, 72,594 people lost their lives in that
region while more than 172,000 suffered injuries.
He warned that many bodies are still under rubble or
on the streets - because ambulance services and
civil protection teams cannot reach them - due
to the lack of machinery and fuel.
This week, the authorities of the Strip and Palestinian parties
condemned the continuous Israeli massacres in the territory,
in violation of the current truce.
Gaza's Ministry of the Interior and National Security criticized
in a statement the attacks against civilians -- and police
officers -- while they were carrying out their work.
In a joint statement, Palestinian factions also rejected
such incursions, considering them “an extension of
the US-backed war of extermination”.
