Security forces deploy in Tehran, Shiraz amid explosions reported across Iran

A video received by Iran International shows powerful explosions in southern Tehran in the early hours of Sunday, with residents describing the strikes as “very heavy.” Reports indicate multiple areas across the southern parts of the city were targeted.

Fox News Digital reported that at least 75 US-based organizations, including far-left, Marxist, socialist, and Islamist groups, have staged protests supporting the Iranian regime since the outbreak of the war.

The demonstrations, coordinated across dozens of cities, echoed pro-Iran and pro-China messaging, according to a digital analysis of organizers’ communications, published on Fox on Saturday.

"The analysis found 50 far-left organizations, 22 Muslim groups supporting political Islam or theocracy, and three others with socialist-Islamist links. Last weekend alone, the protests took place in 63 cities across 29 states and Washington DC, with identical signs, chants, and digital toolkits being used to replicate the demonstrations," the report said.

"Investigations trace major funding to American-born tech tycoon Neville Roy Singham, based in Shanghai, whose network has been accused by US lawmakers of promoting the interests of the People’s Republic of China," the report added.

A video received by Iran International on Saturday shows the destruction of Iranian missile launchers stored in a warehouse inside a mountain near the town of Zarrinabad in Zanjan province in northwest Iran following US and Israeli strikes.

The Pentagon is deploying thousands of additional Marines and sailors to the Middle East as Iran intensifies attacks on the Strait of Hormuz, Newsmax reported on Saturday.

The USS Tripoli amphibious assault ship which carries about 2,500 sailors and Marines, along with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit, is joining the region after operations in the Philippine Sea, while additional vessels are also being sent, according to senior US military officials.

President Donald Trump said on Saturday that Iran is ready to negotiate a ceasefire amid ongoing US strikes, including on Kharg Island, but he rejected the current terms as insufficient.

“Iran wants to make a deal, and I don’t want to make it because the terms aren’t good enough yet," NBC News cited Trump during a telephone interview. “We totally demolished Kharg Island, but we may hit it a few more times just for fun.”

Trump also raised doubts about the well-being of the new supreme leader in Iran, saying he might not even be alive.

"I don’t know if he’s even alive. So far, nobody’s been able to show him,” Trump said. “I’m hearing he’s not alive, and if he is, he should do something very smart for his country, and that’s surrender.”

Asked about the future of the regime, Trump said there are channels open with some leaders in Iran who might be qualified candidates.

“We have people that are living who would be great leaders for the future of the country," Trump said. When asked if he is in touch with any of the potential leaders, he declined to give details, saying: “I don’t want to say that. I don’t want to put them in jeopardy.”
