Large crowds gather in Tehran on first day of Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral

  Large crowds of black-clad mourners have gathered outside Tehran's main mosque to pay their respects to Iran's former supreme leader on the first day of his funeral commemorations.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's body is currently lying in state at the Grand Mosalla, ahead of his burial in his hometown of Mashhad next Thursday.

Authorities expect 15-20 million people to attend the ceremonies across Iran and Iraq over the coming days, which take place more than four months after Khamenei was killed in US and Israeli strikes. 

Masses of supporters of the Islamic regime turned out on Saturday morning, reportedly chanting slogans against the US and in support of revenge for the ayatollah's killing.

"We came [to the funeral] because we promised the supreme leader we would stand by him to the very end," 37-year-old professor Reza told news agency AFP in the Grand Mosalla's courtyard.

"For a long time, we shouted that we would sacrifice our lives for the leader, but it was he who sacrificed himself for us."

Arash Rahimi, 40, told Reuters: "Everyone here has come to avenge the blood of their supreme leader.

"As our leader has said, we have a blood feud with the United States. Our relations with the United States will never be good."

Khamenei was killed during joint Israeli and US strikes on Iran in late February, in what quickly spiralled into a wider regional conflict.

How Iran's new regime is very different to what came before

  When US President Donald Trump signed a ceasefire agreement with Iran during dinner at the Palace of Versailles last month, many saw an irony.

His host, French President Emanuel Macron, may have wanted to make sure the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed before Trump changed his mind, and possibly calculated that the gilded Hall of Mirrors would appeal to his guest. 

But the choice of venue inevitably invited comparisons between the one-and-a-half page agreement and the extremely lengthy Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919 at the end of World War One. The 1919 treaty reshaped Europe, but its demands for huge reparations left an angry and embittered Germany and helped to set the stage for another global conflagration just 20 years later.

Might the Iran deal, different in so many ways, nevertheless come to be seen as similarly fateful? Almost three weeks later, a fragile ceasefire more or less holds. But after several skirmishes in and around the Strait of Hormuz, and with none of the issues that led to war anywhere close to being resolved, the situation in the Middle East looks every bit as precarious as it did before.

Ukraine hits major oil terminal in Russia's St Petersburg

  A major oil terminal in Russia's north-western city of St Petersburg was struck overnight by Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

The Ukrainian president described it as key "infrastructure that generates revenue for Russia's war". Ukraine also said a major Russian naval base in the region was hit.

St Petersburg Governor Aleksandr Beglov said the city had been under a "massive" drone attack, admitting the oil terminal was hit but saying there had been no casualties. 

 

Ukraine has recently intensified its long-range drone attacks on Russia's critical energy infrastructure, causing widespread fuel shortages. Kyiv says nearly 43% of Russia's oil refining capacity has been "disabled" as a result.

The BBC has not independently verified this figure.

Ukraine says Russian oil and gas facilities are legitimate targets as Moscow relies heavily on fossil fuel exports to finance its full-scale invasion, which began in February 2022.

Russian President Vladimir Putin - who last week made a rare admission that fuel shortages had been caused by Ukrainian attacks - on Saturday signed into law a bill aimed at boosting supplies to the domestic fuel market.

July 4, 1187 — Christendom’s Darkest Day As Saladin takes Jerusalem, the True Cross, and hundreds of Christian heads.

 Centuries before it was remembered as the American day of Independence, July 4 was remembered as one of the most consequential days in the perennial war between Islam and Christendom — and, sadly, as a disaster for Christendom.

Here is that important story. 

Soon after liberating the ancient Christian city of Antioch from Muslim oppression, the First Crusaders also managed to realize their primary goal: to re-take Jerusalem from Islam (1099).

At that time, there were very few Muslim calls to jihad (only one is known, and it quickly fell on deaf ears). After all, in the preceding decades, and thanks to Sunni and Shia infighting, local Muslim populations were hardly unused to such invasions and conquests.

In Muslim historian Ibn al-Athir’s words, “While the Franks—Allah damn them!—were conquering and settling in a part of the territories of Islam, the rulers and armies of Islam were fighting among themselves, causing discord and disunity among their people and weakening their power to combat the enemy.”

In this chaos, the pure doctrine of jihad—warfare against infidels—was lost to the average Muslim, who watched and suffered as Muslim empires and sects collided.

God’s Timeline Directing Global Politics: The US-Iran MoU And The Perplexing Shift Of American Foreign Policy

I have been greatly frustrated as I’ve watched what appears to be the capitulation of the United States to Iran. But in the grand scheme, what I feel doesn’t really matter. We don’t have to like everything that we see, because we know that in many cases it has to happen.

In-Depth: What Biblical Principles and Science Say About the Existence Of Extraterrestrials

Today is World UFO Day. Why July 2? That was the date in 1947 that something crashed near Roswell, New Mexico. Something? Wasn’t it a flying saucer that crashed? Well, no. I’ll get back to that later. The Roswell incident happened only eight days after pilot Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine shiny objects moving very quickly near Mt. Rainier in the US state of Washington.

The Hottest 4th Of July Ever Could Set More Than 300 New Records And The U.S. Wheat Harvest Is Expected To Be The Smallest In 150 Years

It is supposed to be hot on the 4th of July, but it isn’t supposed to be this hot. Temperatures will be 20 to 30 degrees above average in much of the eastern half of the country. I warned a few days ago that we were going to experience a “4th of July furnace”, and meteorologists are telling us that hundreds of new records could be established. Unfortunately, this entire summer is going to be extremely hot.

“May Allah Destroy Them!” — The Fall of Córdoba, 1236 by Raymond Ibrahim

 The Fall of Cordoda “He Placed His Hope in the Lord Jesus Christ” — and Defeated His Enemies".

This week in history, Córdoba, which after the eighth century Muslim conquest of Spain had become one of the most important “abodes of Islam,” passed into “the hands of the accursed Christians—may Allah destroy them all!” (to quote from a disgruntled Muslim chronicler).

Six months earlier, in December of 1235, a daring band of Christians, led by a few knights, stormed and took a portion of Córdoba’s eastern quarter. Word reached King Ferdinand III of Castile (aka Saint Ferdinand or Fernando) in January of 1236, even as he was in mourning over the recent death of his 30-year-old wife from childbirth complications.

Through their envoy, the Spaniards “implored him to help them because they were placed in most grave peril.” Against the Muslim “multitude of Córdoba, they were very few” and “separated from the Moors only by a certain wall running almost through the middle of the city.” Though at a standstill, time, the envoy made clear, was not on the Christians’ side.

The king, who for years had been spearheading the Reconquista—the Christian attempt to liberate Spain from Islam—was heavily moved by such a heroic feat; and “the grief for the loss” of his wife “did not long suspend his warlike preparations.” On the same evening that the envoy arrived, Ferdinand’s advisors strongly warned him against setting out immediately, during winter; they cited impassable roads due to snow, rain and floods, and possible ambushes from the “innumerable multitude of people in Córdoba”—to say nothing of Ibn Hud, the de facto king of al-Andalus, who was even then headed to relieve the Muslim city.

But Ferdinand “placed his hope in the Lord Jesus Christ and closed his ears” to all such talk. He was resolved to “aid his vassals who had exposed themselves to such a great danger in his service and for the honor of the Christian faith.” After sending word to his magnates in Castile and León to muster their forces, he set off for Córdoba on the very next morning—with only one hundred knights.
