A massive funeral procession was held in Tehran on Saturday morning for over 60 Iranian people who have been martyred in the Israeli regime’s war of aggression against the country.
Mourners in the Iranian capital attended the funeral of more than 60 martyrs, including senior military commanders, nuclear scientists, journalists and ordinary citizens, many of them women and children.

The funeral procession began at the University of Tehran as mourners carried the caskets of the martyrs, covered by the flag of Iran, all the way to the Azadi (liberty) Square.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian also attended the funeral service.

The Zionist regime waged an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on June 13. It carried out airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear, military and residential sites that resulted in the martyrdom of over 600 people, including top military commanders, nuclear scientists and civilians.

The Iranian military forces started counterattacks immediately afterwards. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III that inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.

A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 has brought the fighting to a halt. /TNA/

An Iranain body has said in a report that as many as nine journalists were martyred during the recent 12-day war by the Zionist regime.

The head of Basij Media Organization Morteza Kar Amouzian said in an interview in Tehran on Saturday that “as many as nine of the country’s journalists were martyred in direct and targeted attacks by the Zionist regime.”

“In this 12-day war, more than 10 journalists were also injured, whose treatment is still underway,” he added.

“Kar Amouzian also noted that “According to Article 8, paragraph 2, of the Statute of the International Criminal Court (ICC), attacks on journalists is a war crime. This act is also a clear violation of the Geneva Convention (IV) on Civilians, 1949 as well as the Article 52 of Additional Protocol I to the Fourth Geneva Convention, which requires the protection of civilian objects and media staff,” he further underlined.

“This anti-media crime should not be ingnored by global media. The Basij Media Organization, in cooperation with relevant bodies, will pursue legal and international prosecution of the perpetrators behind such attacks to bring them to justice,” the head of the Iranian body also underscored.

A massive public gathering was held in Tehran on Tuesday in firm support of Iran’s armed forces as they confront the Zionist regime’s aggression.
Thousands of Iranians, including men, women, and children from all walks of life, flooded Enghelab Square in central Tehran, voicing support for the military forces resisting Israeli attacks and defending the nation’s sovereignty.

The demonstrators condemned the criminal acts of the Israeli regime and held the United States complicit in the bloodshed, chanting powerful slogans such as “Death to America,” “Death to the child-killing Israel,” and “No compromise, no surrender — fight against [US of] America.”

Holding Iranian flags, portraits of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, and images of recent martyrs, the crowd carried placards reading: “We stand till the end,” “America is a partner in all of Israel’s crimes,” “No to imposed peace, yes to lasting peace,” and “Labbaik Ya Khamenei.”

Expressions of gratitude were directed at the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), the Army, the Basij forces, and the police, with the public chanting in praise of their steadfastness and valor. /TNA/

BRICS nations issued a scathing joint statement denouncing the illegal military assaults carried out by the Israeli regime and the United States against the Islamic Republic of Iran, declaring them flagrant violations of the UN Charter and international law.
The declaration, published by Brazil’s Foreign Ministry, reads:

“We express grave concern over the military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran since 13 June 2025, which constitute a violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations.”

The collective of emerging global powers sharply criticized the unprovoked targeting of Iranian nuclear sites, warning that such attacks breach international norms and the framework of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

BRICS also reaffirmed its commitment to a Middle East free from nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction — a clear rebuke to the Israeli regime, whose undeclared nuclear arsenal continues to threaten regional and global peace with impunity under US protection.

“BRICS remains committed to promoting international peace and security and to fostering diplomacy and peaceful dialogue as the only sustainable path toward long-term stability in the region,” the statement emphasized.

The Israeli regime launched its cowardly strikes on Iran in the early hours of June 13. Within hours, Iran responded decisively. On June 22, the United States further escalated tensions by attacking three Iranian nuclear facilities in a reckless display of military adventurism.

Tehran delivered a powerful response the following night, targeting Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar — the largest US military base in the region — exposing the vulnerability of American forces and signaling Iran’s determination to defend its sovereignty.

On June 24, US President Donald Trump hastily declared a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Iran, a move widely seen as an admission of strategic failure. While Tel Aviv claimed it had fulfilled its objectives, Iranian officials declared victory, asserting that Israel had been forced into retreat under the weight of Iran’s resistance. /TNA/

Thousands have held national-wide demonstrations in several US cities against the possibility of waging a war against Iran.
In the last few days, people across North American cities have participated in demonstrations to sound their voice against the US interfering with the Zionist regime’s war with Iran.

A group of protesters rallied in front of the White House and criticized the militant policies of US President Donald Trump’s administration. According to the New York Times, people also took to the streets in San Jose, California on Tuesday to protest against the involvement of the US military in the war.

The protesters held anti-war placards in their hands and were shouting slogans against warmongering policies by the US administration. A member of the San Jose peace and justice organization, which held the demonstration, called for the federal government to allocate the federal budget on social security rather than military spending.

Hundreds also demonstrated in the city of Milwaukee against war with the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Protesters were heard shouting slogans such as “do not intervene in Iran’s affairs” and called on the US government not to get themselves engaged in the Zionist regime’s aggressive war against Iran.

They also called for a ban on the sale of weapons to the Zionist regime.

At the same time, New York City also witnessed holding a solidarity gathering with the Islamic Republic of Iran. The protesters were holding placards that reads “The Government of the Apartheid should not exist,” referring to racist regime of Israel. Some also included placards with the burned flag of the Zionist regime. /T.N/

Military official said that the Islamic Republic of Iran had gained complete control over the skies of the Israeli regime.

The spokesperson for Operation True Promise 3 Colonel Iman Tajik says that Tuesday night missile attacks demonstrated Iran’s complete dominance over the skies of the occupied territories.

Tajik lauded the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (I.R.G.C.) Aerospace Force’s 11th wave of Operation True Promise 3, carried out with first-generation Fattah missiles.

The powerful Fattah missiles penetrated the Israeli missile defense system, repeatedly shaking the shelters of the cowardly Israelis, and delivering Iran’s message of strength to the warmongering allies in Tel Aviv, who are lost in delusions and hollow fantasies, he added.

Tuesday night missile attack proved that Iran has the gained the full control over the skies of the occupied Palestine, leaving its residents completely defenseless against Iran’s missile strikes, he stressed.

Earlier, the I.R.G.C. said Iran had sent a message to the Israeli regime’s supporter, the United States, by striking Israeli targets with a new advanced missile.

Hours earlier, Iran began hitting Israeli targets. Footage captured from inside the occupied territories showed Iranian missiles making impact on ground targets, and the Israeli “Iron Dome” system was seen malfunctioning for the second night in a row and lobbing presumably defense projectiles onto Tel Aviv and causing a fire.

After the strikes, footage captured by cellphone cameras of panicked and awestruck Israelis walking amid the rubble of buildings hit by Iran began to go viral.

The Israeli regime attacked Iranian territory, including residential buildings, in an unprovoked act of aggression overnight on June 13. Top Iranian military officials were assassinated in targeted strikes. Civilians died when houses were directly struck. Entire population centers were affected. / IRNA/

Iranian scientists named ‘Maedeh Mohammadifar’ and ‘Maryam Rezaei’ created the dissolvable battery with safe and probiotic power.

Powered by the same probiotics found in yogurt and dietary supplements, the battery produces electricity for more than 100 minutes and then dissolves into its surroundings.

The battery, developed by a team headed by researchers at Binghamton University in the United Kingdom, is made using water-soluble paper.

This battery is used in biomedical and environmental fields, but it must be decomposed in an environmentally friendly way. To prevent the release of toxins into the environment, the main challenge is to modify the power supply. But most power supplies, such as lithium batteries, contain toxic substances.

The battery has a power source that disappears without leaving behind toxic residue. The battery has been in the works for 20 years, and Binghamton University graduate “Maedeh Mohammadifar” was a member of the Dissolvable Microbial Fuel Cell Research Group that helped design it initially.

The new battery is powered by commercially available probiotics that dissolve harmlessly and release only the beneficial microbes. The energy delivery time can be adjusted from 4 minutes to more than 100 minutes, she said, adding that this battery can be used in biomedical implants, environmental sensors and disposable electronics.

Probiotics are living microorganisms that, when consumed, provide health benefits and are harmless to the environment or humans. New research by Iranian scientists Maeda Mohammadifar and Maryam Rezaei shows the potential of using probiotics in the development of new, soluble batteries.

Iran’s Vice President for Science, Technology, and Knowledge-Based Economy Hossein Afshin says that Iran has exported medical equipment to 60 countries.

Addressing the opening ceremony of the International Exhibition of Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical and Laboratory Equipment (Iran Health 2025) on Sunday, Afshin said it is an honor that domestic manufacturers are collaborating with Iran’s skilled community of medical experts.

Highlighting the export potential of domestic medical equipment, he said if a product can meet domestic consumption standards, it can certainly be exported to other countries.

Referring to supportive programs for promoting innovation in medical equipment, he said, “This year, we have two special initiatives to strengthen the link between Research and Development (R&D) and the medical equipment sector.”

Iran Health 2025 is the biggest health event in Iran and will be underway June 8-11. /MNA/

Iran’s nuclear chief says the country’s nuclear power output will reach 3,000 MW by the end of the 7th development plan, nearly triple the current capacity.

Mohammad Eslami, head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran (AEOI), announced that Iran plans to triple its nuclear power generation capacity to 3,000 megawatts by the end of the country’s seventh development plan.

Speaking on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Eslami emphasized that Iran has always acted voluntarily and in good faith in its cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).

“We will never accept accusations that Iran has failed to meet its safeguards obligations. That is a major lie without any evidence,” Eslami said.

He stressed that if the so-called ‘snapback mechanism’ is activated, the Islamic Republic will take appropriate countermeasures at the right time.

Eslami added that Iran remains committed to lifting sanctions through diplomacy, noting that talks are ongoing with European and friendly countries, as well as indirect discussions with the United States.

He added that Iran’s top priority is to lift oppressive sanctions and relieve economic pressure on the people. “Whenever the other side — especially the US — shows genuine goodwill and seriousness in lifting sanctions, Iran will respond appropriately and proportionately,” he said.
