IRGC Navy unveils one of its complex mines
This mine has capabilities that are different from those of other sea mines. Also, part of its capabilities has remained secret so far.
The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps Navy kicked off a naval drill in the waters of the Persian Gulf in the provinces of Bushehr and Khuzestan in south Iran on Friday.
The drill is part of the annual “Eghtedar” in Farsi language or “Power” of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), the land version of which was held jointly by the IRGC and the army forces across the country recently, especially in the provinces of Kermanshah in the west and Isfahan in central Iran.
Earlier in January, the Navy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) unveiled its own underwater missile complex.

«پیتر هِگسِت» وزیر دفاع آمریکا شد
به گزارش خبرگزاری مهر به نقل از نیویورک‌تایمز، مجلس سنای آمریکا با ۵۱ رأی موافق در برابر ۵۰ رأی مخالف، «پیتر هِگسِت» گزینه پیشنهادی «دونالد ترامپ» رئیس‌جمهور جدید آمریکا برای وزارت دفاع را تأیید کرد.
در نشست شامگاه جمعه سنا برای رأی اعتماد به پیتر هگست آرای مخالف و موافق مساوی بود، اما «جی‌دی ونس» معاون رئیس‌جمهور آمریکا که هم‌زمان ریاست سنا را نیز برعهده دارد در اقدامی کم‌سابقه به عنوان رئیس سنا به نفع پیتر هگست رأی داد و در نهایت هگست با ۵۱ رأی موافق در برابر ۵۰ رأی مخالف، وزیر دفاع آمریکا شد.
پیتر هگست ۴۴ ساله مجری سابق شبکه «فاکس‌نیوز» و کهنه‌سربازی است که در جنگ‌های آمریکا در افغانستان و عراق حضور داشته است.
اعلام او به عنوان گزینه پیشنهادی ترامپ برای ریاست پنتاگون باعث تعجب و مخالفت بسیاری از رسانه‌ها و کارشناسان آمریکایی شد. در تاریخ آمریکا این اولین وزیر دفاعی است که با کمترین اختلاف و با آرای شکننده وزیر دفاع می‌شود.
منابع آگاه در گفت‌وگو با سی‌ان‌ان اعلام کردند که انتخاب هگزت به عنوان وزیردفاع غافل‌گیرکننده بود، زیرا او در بین کسانی نبود که تیم ترامپ به عنوان گزینه احتمالی در نظر گرفته بودند.
به گفته منابع سی‌ان‌ان، ترامپ رابطه طولانی و دوستانه‌ای با هگزت دارد و ترامپ همیشه فکر می‌کرد که او «باهوش» است و همیشه از کار او تمجید می‌کرد.

Ukraine war could have been averted if Trump was president
Speaking to a Russian TV channel, Putin echoed Trump’s assertion that the 2020 election was ‘’stolen’, and indicated this alleged outcome indirectly contributed to the crisis, as per CNN.
Putin stated that Moscow has always been ready for negotiations on the Ukraine conflict, restating his government’s willingness to find a solution. ‘’We have always mentioned, and I will highlight it again, that we are ready for negotiations on the Ukrainian issue, ‘’he stated, emphasizing his readiness to get involved in talks with Washington if prompted.
The Kremlin added that it is waiting for the ‘’signals’’ to commence the talks from the US. Meanwhile, Trump has maintained that the Ukraine war would not have occurred under his presidency. On Friday, Putin supported his statement, saying, ‘’If his victory had not been stolen in 2020 then maybe the Ukraine crisis would have not emerged in 2022.’’
Trump has often exhibited confidence in his ability to bring peace to Ukraine and has claimed that he can stop the war in ‘’one day’’. His proposed time for ending the war has ignited debate but his earlier proposal of allotting 100 days for a special envoy to sort out the conflict displays his emphasis on diplomacy. Recently, Trump has commented that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is ready to make a deal and Putin may also be open to the same.
Trump, while talking to the reporters, stated, ‘’From what I hear, Putin is interested in meeting me. We’ll meet as soon as we can. We don’t meet every day, soldiers are getting killed on the battlefield.’’ Trump also reasserted the disastrous toll of the war during a virtual address at the World Economic Forum, describing it as the deadliest of the wars that have taken place since World War II, as millions of lives have been lost.

Iran rejects Israeli accusation of smuggling arms to Lebanon
“This claim is nothing more than an excuse to justify the Israeli regime’s repeated violations of Security Council Resolution 1701 (2006) and its blatant disregard for the ceasefire arrangement with Lebanon,” Amir Saeed Iravani said Friday, PressTV reported.
“The regime has no intention of adhering to its commitments to withdraw from southern Lebanon after the 60-day ceasefire period, according to the established requirements. Instead, the Israeli regime raises such baseless accusations to legitimize its ongoing illegal occupation of Lebanese lands,” he added.
His reaction came in letters to UN Chief General António Guterres and rotating President of the Security Council Amar Bendjama, responding to the Israeli ambassador to the UN Danny Danon”s accusations on January 13.
The letter by the Israeli envoy “baselessly and erroneously accuses Iran of smuggling advanced weapons systems to Lebanon”, Iravani said.
Iravani said the Security Council must compel the Israeli regime to fully implement its obligations under the ceasefire arrangement, immediately cease its violations against the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Lebanon, and withdraw its forces from southern Lebanon without delay.
“Failure to take decisive action will only embolden the regime to commit further violations and endanger peace and security in the West Asia region,” he added.
Iravani also strongly rejected similar “baseless accusations made against the Islamic Republic of Iran by representatives of the United States and Britain during the open meeting of the Security Council on January 25”.
“The attribution of destructive and destabilizing activities in the region to the Islamic Republic of Iran is completely baseless and lacks credibility,” he said.
It “is a deliberate attempt to divert attention and conceal the direct complicity of the defendants in the genocide and war crimes committed by the Israeli regime against Palestinians in Gaza.”
“The undeniable complicity of the United States and Britain in facilitating these crimes is fully documented,” Iravani said, adding “Their unconditional support has encouraged the Israeli regime to more brazenly commit crimes with impunity”.
The principled position of the Islamic Republic in the region, he said, is “based on ending the occupation, establishing a just and lasting peace, and guaranteeing the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination in accordance with international law”.
