Brigadier General Vahid Majid, citing received reports and expert assessments by FATA specialists, said that in recent days a number of social media pages—particularly on Instagram—have exploited advanced AI technologies to create entirely fabricated images and videos and falsely attribute them to police commanders, senior officials, and military forces.

He added that such fake content is produced and circulated with the aim of creating doubt, spreading misinformation, and undermining public psychological security, stressing that these materials have no basis in reality and bear no connection to armed forces personnel or officials.

The FATA chief emphasized that those who misuse artificial intelligence capabilities are engaging in deception and the manipulation of public opinion.

Majid further noted that under existing national laws, the production, publication, and even the deliberate resharing of fake images and videos attributed to individuals or institutions constitute a criminal offense.

He urged citizens to verify the authenticity of online content before sharing it and to refrain from reposting unverified images and videos, especially those attributed to the police, military forces, and other official bodies.

Hedayati, a member of Iran’s national team and a medalist at the Hangzhou Asian Games and the Islamic Solidarity Games, was unable to obtain a US visa due to new regulations restricting visa issuance to citizens of several countries.

As a result, he lost the opportunity to compete in the upcoming season of the American table tennis league.

The Iranian athlete had a strong performance last season with the team Texas Smash, attracting attention across the league. Following his successful campaign, he received three offers from different US teams and ultimately reached an agreement with New York Slayers for the new season.

Despite finalizing the contract and preparing for his return to the US, Hedayati’s visa application was rejected.
This comes despite the fact that he had previously obtained US residency visas on three separate occasions, according to reports.

The decision has raised concerns over barriers Washington’s policies have imposed on ordinary Iranian citizens and athletes.

His remarks came in response to threats made by the U.S. president and officials of the Israeli regime against Iran.

In a message posted on his official X account, Larijani said recent statements by Israeli officials and Donald Trump had exposed the true intentions behind the developments.
Addressing recent protests by segments of Iran’s economic sector over fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, he stressed that the authorities differentiate between the legitimate demands of protesting shopkeepers and disruptive elements.

Larijani reiterated that Washington should realize any U.S. involvement in this domestic issue would trigger regional disorder and damage American interests.

On Friday, U.S. President Donald Trump publicly backed the unrest in Iran, alleging that Iranian authorities were firing on “peaceful protesters.” Writing on his Truth Social account, Trump claimed that if such actions continued, the United States would step in to protect the protesters.

Larijani added that the American public should be aware that Trump initiated this adventurism and should be mindful of the safety of their own troops.

President Pezeshkian: Real terrorists label others as terrorists

He made the comments during a ceremony marking the sixth anniversary of the martyrdom of General Qassem Soleimani.

Pezeshkian said powerful governments, under the slogans of democracy and freedom, commit oppression and violence across the world.

He stated that the United States and the Israeli regime target influential, aware, and capable individuals who stand against injustice, calling this a form of “state terrorism.”

He added that figures such as General Soleimani, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Iranian scientists, commanders, and religious leaders were targeted precisely because they defended the oppressed and resisted domination.

According to the president, branding such figures as terrorists is an attempt to hide the crimes of those who hold power.

Pezeshkian described General Soleimani as a sincere and humble figure who served without seeking recognition.

He said Soleimani was never attached to worldly interests and always stood firmly against injustice, whether in Iran or elsewhere.

The president emphasized that Soleimani supported the oppressed in all situations, not only in military matters.

He said this sincerity and moral integrity turned Soleimani into a global symbol, respected beyond Iran and even remembered in other countries after his assassination.

Pezeshkian said the Iranian nation remains committed to continuing the path of Soleimani and other martyrs, stressing that their values of honesty, courage, justice, and defending the oppressed remain a guiding model for the country.

Cyber attack

Speaking at a meeting of the Steering Council for Communications and Information Technology, Seyed Sattar Hashemi said the attack occurred on Sunday, coinciding with the launch of Iranian satellites.

He described the operation as a highly sophisticated cyber assault aimed at disrupting the systems of one of Iran’s telecom operators.

Hashemi said the cyberattack was carried out in two phases and was successfully contained. According to him, the first phase was managed outside the country, while the second phase was neutralized domestically using Iran’s indigenous technical capabilities.

“The fact that such a complex attack was controlled in two stages shows the resilience of our national infrastructure,” he said, adding that local experts played a key role in preventing serious damage.

The minister stressed that despite extensive international sanctions, Iran’s knowledge-based production cycle remains active and effective, particularly in the field of cybersecurity and information technology.

Iran has repeatedly reported cyber threats against its critical sectors, especially during sensitive political, technological, or scientific developments.

Iran says foreign intelligence services sabotaged nuclear equipment in transit

Mohammad Eslami

Speaking at the inauguration of a new plasma-based wound treatment clinic in Isfahan, Eslami said Iran had legally purchased components from reputable European suppliers. However, during transit to Iran, US and Israeli spy agencies secretly tampered with the equipment at an intermediate facility, carrying out “micron-level sabotage.”

According to Eslami, the components appeared intact upon arrival, but after installation in pilot systems, Iranian experts noticed they did not function as expected. He said this prompted further technical checks that revealed deliberate interference.

Eslami stressed that Iran is not seeking to revive a “Persian empire,” rejecting claims recently made by Israeli officials. Instead, he said opposition to Iran stems from its advances in power-generating fields and in sciences and technologies that create strategic superiority.

He added that industrial sabotage against Iran dates back decades and has been particularly evident in the nuclear sector for more than 25 years. Despite such actions, Eslami said Iranian specialists have developed systems to detect faults and continue advancing domestic capabilities.

Javad Zarif

Speaking at the opening ceremony of the Covenant Party congress, Zarif said the modern world is no longer defined by rigid blocs or permanent alliances, but by interconnected networks and issue-based coalitions.

He argued that relying on fixed allies is unrealistic in today’s global order and stressed that even traditional adversaries can cooperate on specific issues when interests align.

Zarif described an enemy-driven mindset and zero-sum thinking as ineffective, warning that framing internal groups such as youth, women, the private sector, or digital connectivity as threats only reproduces insecurity in practice. He emphasized that threats are often constructed mentally before they materialize in reality.

Highlighting Iran’s deep civilizational roots, Zarif said national pride should not translate into attempts to recreate past empires or glories, which he described as impractical and costly in current conditions. Instead, he called for realistic idealism grounded in existing human, cultural, and economic capacities.

Zarif stressed that Iran’s greatest asset is its people, noting that no external power has ever been able to dominate the Iranian nation.

Speaking on Wednesday evening during a meeting of the Provincial Planning Council in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province, President Pezeshkian said the level of success in addressing problems depends largely on mindset and approach.

“If people are dissatisfied, it is our fault. Do not look for America or others to blame. The responsibility lies with us,” he said.

His remarks came in reaction to recent protests in several cities in Iran amid dire economic situation, soaring prices, and plunging national currency value.

The president stressed that the government must provide effective services, manage resources properly, and find practical solutions to economic and social problems in order to restore public trust.

He noted that most challenges facing the country already have clear scientific and technical solutions, but the main obstacle is a lack of determination or failure to effectively use available expertise.

President Pezeshkian also emphasized the importance of relying on domestic capacities and strengthening national self-confidence.

He concluded by underlining the need for unity and social cohesion, saying that meaningful progress is only possible through collective effort, accountability, and confidence in the country’s own potential.
