Messenger: Latest Iran and World News, Today July 19 / Attack on Iran Was Futile

Ahmad Danyamali, Minister of Sports and Youth

🔹 “Given the 12‑day war and the martyrdom of 1,100 compatriots, we expected Mr Faghani to express, at least in some way, a sentiment as an Iranian.”

🔹 “I don’t think it matters much that he won a medal—but posting that image on his page and proudly referencing it angered many.”

🔹 “Referring to the EU External Action Service’s statement describing the Israeli regime’s military aggression on Syrian soil as simply ‘elevated tensions,’ our Foreign Ministry spokesman stressed this is a blatant manipulation of reality.”

🔹 “U.S. President Donald Trump, commenting on Middle East developments, once again repeated his assertions about damaging Iran’s nuclear capabilities—and announced that 10 Israeli captives in Gaza will be freed in the near future.”

🔹 “Dmitry Peskov,” the Kremlin spokesman, responding to Friday’s Times report that Beijing is seeking to host a trilateral meeting between Putin, U.S. President Donald Trump, and Xi Jinping, said: “We know nothing about any such summit.”

🔹 The “Children of the Sky” memorial, honoring the martyred victims of the recent Israeli attacks, was unveiled on Friday evening, 18 July 2025, at Tehran’s Haftom Tir Square in the presence of victims’ families and the public.

🔹Sheikh Sami Abi Al‑Munaymin of Lebanon’s Druze community emphasized: “Requesting assistance from Israel by the Druze in Syria’s Suwayda is unacceptable. This act targets our history and identity.”

Translation: “Last night at Soroush Cinema, I watched the film Pirpesar. It’s a bold portrayal of a wound that, if we do not face it, cannot be healed. Art is not always meant to be pleasant; sometimes it must simply compel us to think. Cultural spaces should allow room for dialogue, not censorship.

🔹 Jack Sullivan: “The recent U.S. military aggression on Iranian soil was not only unnecessary but also failed to halt Iran’s nuclear program.”

🔹 Meteorological Office: “Yesterday, Khuzestan and Bushehr experienced temperatures above 50 °C.”

🔹 “The nationwide warming trend continues. From Monday through Wednesday, temperature increases will be more pronounced.”

🔹 “Stations in Ilam, Khuzestan, Bushehr, southern Fars, and parts of Kerman and Sistan‑Baluchestan may see temperatures exceed 50 °C.”

🔹 “In a unique military operation, Yemen’s Armed Forces struck the Ben Gurion (Lydda) airport in occupied Jaffa (Tel Aviv) with our ‘Falasteen 2’ hypersonic missile.”

🔹 “By God’s grace, the operation succeeded, forcing millions of usurping Israelis into shelters and halting flights at the airport.”

🔹 Syrian media report that fighters affiliated with the ‘Julani’ terrorist regime have sealed all routes leading to Suwayda province in southern Syria.

🔹 “Movement of civilians and military convoys toward Suwayda has been declared prohibited,” the reports state.
