Germany's interior minister backs Israel’s strikes on Iran

Jun 29, 2025, 10:04 GMT+1

Germany's Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt expressed support for Israel’s recent attacks on Iran during a visit to Israel on Sunday, according to a report by Tagesschau.

Speaking on Sunday at a rocket impact site in Tel Aviv alongside Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar, Dobrindt said Germany backs Israel’s efforts in recent weeks to dismantle Iran’s nuclear program.

“We must deepen our support for Israel,” Dobrindt said.

Sa'ar for his part, thanked Dobrindt for "coming on a solidarity visit to Israel," and urged the E3 countries - UK, Germany and France - to activate snap back sanctions against Iran.

"Israel acted to remove an immediate existential threat and did so successfully. Now, the international system has a duty to take concrete steps against the Iranian nuclear program, in light of the Iranian regime's attacks on the IAEA and its announcement that it will stop cooperating with it," Sa'ar said, according to a statement by Israel's foreign ministry.

Iranians show support for Khamenei by attending funerals, speaker says

Jun 29, 2025, 09:11 GMT+1

The Iranian people demonstrated their appreciation for Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei’s “wise and courageous management” during funerals for senior military commanders and nuclear scientists, said Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf in a Sunday speech at the parliament.

The US and Israel suffered a “historic and severe defeat” in the recent 12-day war, he said again.

The official funeral was held in Tehran yesterday, but Khamenei, who has remained hidden in a protected underground bunker since the start of the Israel-Iran conflict, did not attend.

Israel’s influence extends beyond military, opposition figure says

Jun 29, 2025, 08:05 GMT+1

An opposition figure in Iran who had been under house arrest for many years says Israel’s influence is not limited to the military and their influence is everywhere.

“Any sensible and concerned person can feel their footprint in security and political decisions,” said the Green Movement leader Mehdi Karroubi.

“The country’s security capabilities should be focused on containing Israel, not political critics, cultural figures, or even women’s hair,” he added.

US media ‘mercenaries’ fail to unsettle Iranian youth, Iran speaker says

Jun 29, 2025, 07:38 GMT+1

US officials have lost credibility by relying on Persian-language media mercenaries to influence Iranian youth, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said Sunday.

“US officials who had lost all credibility by buying their Persian-language media mercenaries with green cards, visas, and a handful of dollars have now personally stepped in to carry out psychological operations on the minds and consciences of Iranian youth... However, it is clear that they will fail again,” he said without naming any media.

“The Iranian nation knows these snakes, and they will again fail to break the unity and solidarity of the nation and to shatter Iran, because these poor people have understood the Iranian people through the lens of a few foreign-paid, contemptible, and ridiculous puppets, and their understanding of this nation is incomplete and false,” Ghalibaf said.

“The gambler Trump’s positions have no credibility. The disrespectful US president, in his imaginary virtual world, reinstates sanctions that have not been lifted.”

“His positions are part of a psychological operation plan to instill fear in the people.”
