Maryam Sinaiee – Iran International Aug 7, 2025
An Iranian official’s assertion that Russia had prior knowledge of Israel’s plans to topple the Islamic Republic has sparked a renewed debate in Iran over the relative silence of Tehran’s superpower ally during a punishing war in June.
Mohammad-Hossein Saffar-Harandi, a hardline member of Iran’s Expediency Council, said on state television this week that Israel’s attacks on Iran in a 12-day war in June was part of a deliberate, long-planned “overthrow” operation.
“(Some people) in Israel contacted certain officials within Russia’s Foreign Ministry two to three days before the attack,” he asserted, informing Moscow about the operation and urging them to abandon their cooperation with Tehran.
The Islamic Republic would be toppled in a few days, the Russians were told, according to Saffar-Harandi. He did not say how he obtained the information, nor whether Moscow had informed Tehran or taken any preventive steps.
“If his claim is true, did Russia inform Iran? Or was Russia suffering from a miscalculation (like Israel), believing that Iran was finished?” asked Esfandiar Zolghadr, lawyer and journalist, in a post on X.
Moscow muted
Russia’s response to the war was limited to diplomatic statements, offering no political or military support for Tehran. Iranian analysts see this as a reflection of Moscow’s focus on the Ukraine war and its desire to avoid jeopardizing ties with Israel and the West.
Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters last week that Moscow was “seriously concerned” about Israeli and American attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities—but stopped short of backing Iran, instead urging negotiations with the UN nuclear watchdog, the IAEA.
Critics in Iran argue this cautious stance fits a broader pattern.
“From Russia’s unfulfilled promises to deliver defense systems like the S-400 and Su-35 fighter jets, to repeated delays in military cooperation, all suggest that this partnership is not based on mutual trust, but rather on opportunistic, short-term interests,” the reformist Shargh daily said in an August 5 commentary.
Israel first?
Russia’s response has not gone unnoticed in Iran’s military and political circles.
Brigadier-General Yadollah Javani, political deputy of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, acknowledged public confusion over the silence of both Russia and China, pointing to the limits of military pacts that don’t entail mutual defense.
Nematollah Izadi, Iran’s former ambassador to Russia, told the Jamaran news website in late July that if Russia had to choose between Iran and Israel, “it would definitely choose Israel.”
He also pointed to Moscow’s strategic logic: continued Iran-West tensions help Russia maintain regional leverage. A thaw with the West, he warned, could shift Tehran’s alignment.
During the war, President Vladimir Putin said Israel has two million Russian speakers and is “practically a Russian-speaking country.”
The comment was seen as a signal of priorities in Tehran.
“Putin’s statements indicated that ethnic and demographic ties with Israel take precedence for him over regional commitments with Iran,” the commentary in Shargh read.
“This behavior cannot be explained merely within the framework of diplomatic caution; rather, it should be seen as the logical extension of a policy rooted in transactionalism.
((( Maryam Sinaiee ))) ha ha ha . More guff for the stupid goyim.
“The Islamic Republic would be toppled in a few days, the Russians were told… ”
Yes well we know how accurate that was ha ha ha.
Iranians don’t need to be told by Russia or anyone else that the jews want to “overthrow” Iran.
“Iranian analysts see this as a reflection of Moscow’s focus on the Ukraine war and its desire to avoid jeopardizing ties with Israel and the West.” — Ties with the “west”???? when the “west” is in open war against Russia??? What kind of crap is this???
[Russia] “…stopped short of backing Iran.” — Iran doesn’t need Russia or anyone to protect itself from those desert demons in Occupied Palestine as they proved some weeks ago when the demons squealed for a ceasefire ha ha ha .
““Putin’s statements indicated that ethnic and demographic ties with Israel take precedence for him over regional commitments with Iran,” the commentary in Shargh read.”
Yea, yea, yea — even as those same desert demons are trying to destabilise Russia via their yankee attack dogs. Methinks that Mr. Putin is playing 5D chess with the “west”while the “west” is playing checkers.
they (Trump, Satanjahu, Putin) are all Chabad brothers .
Elderly Concerned grandmother hits out at ‘Nazi and terrorist ’ labels as she joins Aldershot anti-migrant protests
Story by Ben Chapman
A grandmother called Millie has spoken out at a demonstration outside a migrant accommodation facility in Aldershot, articulating her worries about unauthorised migrant arrivals mainly via the English Channel.
She attended the gathering to voice her support for lawful immigration whilst expressing opposition to what she described as irregular crossings happening “day in, day out”.I’ve come here because we’re just a small island and as far as I’m concerned, I’m all for legal migration but not the ones coming across the Channel day in, day out,” Millie told GB News during the demonstration.
The protest in Aldershot forms part of wider demonstrations occurring at asylum accommodation sites across the nation, with various groups organising gatherings supporting the facilities’ use.
in 1949 a little known chinese guerilla leader
called Mao Zedong ( various spellings ) was visited by
Rothschild representatives who told him to take Tibet.
It had great mineral wealth and precious metal statues in the lamaseries.
To fund the take over, Rothschild would see great industry moved there
Mao said but the world would be in uproar,
he said when we jews took Palestine in 1948, we own the press almost no news came out
and no one did a thing about it.
In 1950 the Chinese Communists took Tibet with great bloodshed.
When Mrs Thatcher stood as an MP in North Finchley a heavy jewish area
i told my wife a poof in hell would stand more chance
But Rothchild told the jews through the synagogues to vote for her.
And i was shocked when she got in.
As Prime Minister this true blue Tory, closed down and exported all heavy industry to China
and puta heavy VAT on small businesses closing down many
for she was as socialist as they come.
There were 5 hard line jews in Thatcher’s cabinet and Rothschild through Jimmy Saville and others,
kept her on track.
But Russia threw out the communist system, and the jewish mafia was expelled,
Rothschild was said to be chewing the edge of the carpet in rage.
So the effort to force communism on the UK intensified, Tony Blair and Kier Starmer
were as big a traitor as was churchill
Rothschild feared one man, Oswald Mosely, he offered him and i quote
” to head either of his political parties, Tory or Labour” Mosley refused
as he did not want more Rothschild control, he wanted the freedom to have a party for British people.
The press immediately started hatchet jobs and character assassination.
As Trump said recently he fears for Britain, which is sliding into communist dictatorship,
the troops for the take over are already here.
Communism has been described as a method to put the money and wealth of the many into the hands of the few

Oh, and BTW she lives in London.
She’d be a traitorous ex-pat who hates the Iranian Islamic Republic.
That’ll be the day when I meet an Iranian outside of Iran who loves the Iranian government. They all seem to hate it.
Anyway the Iranian government didn’t even come close to falling, though I’m sure this Maryam would have liked it to fall. As for Russia, let’s hope it’s more allied to Iran than Israel. Somehow I think it is.
Russia didn’t pull back from the death-blow to Israel, that was Iran. No point getting snotty about it now, they failed. Russia didn’t stop them harming Zionism for a long, long time, that was their own decision. That’s why some people so bitterly disappointed by it don’t care much for what Iran says anymore. Go on, bend over! The Zionists are whistling.
I like Professor Marandi but I don’t even listen to him anymore.

(Many Governments have realised that Israel has to stop and avoid a 3rd Worldwar.
The Jews seem to have been very active in regard of WW 1 & 2 as many history books,
even old films and other material is confirming. Also the ZionChrists do not take any part
in wanting to know about it)
More meaningless diversion for the altnewstards. What they don’t tell you is that Russia, Iran, Israel, US are all governed by the same interrelated network of Jew bankers/oligarchs/rabbis.
Khazaria Empire is today’s Southern Russia and Southern Ukraine, so Khazars are stil part of Russia and infiltrated all strategic positions in Russia society and state.
So Russia prefer Khazars before Iran
Yes, and this is precisely the reason why Russia was “invited” to take large hunks of the Ukraine – first to abandon its support for the independent and legal Assad government of Syria in exchange for the 4 oblasts on its border with the Ukraine, and now likely up to a full half of the Ukraine all the way west to the Dnieper River – in exchange for abandoning Iran – (all as said many times before). China like Israel is a Rothschild prodigy nation and Russia’s increased trade with China for the alleged US “economic sanctions” against is mainly more smoke and mirrors, and as it turns out Russia is just as much of a pawn in the hands of that control-freak dynasty which with the control of credit controls the US and the rest of the West.
But most people do not really think or care about such things anymore. First of all, many people are afraid to think about such things and come to the obvious conclusions of how diabolical the people are who are running things. It is also easier simply to accept the mainstream propagated views funneled into their heads, than to question things. Then there are the McLuhan facts about the media in which now people only think in terms of images to determine what is real, and no longer really connect any dots as you would in any logical argument. The waking up process to see all of the lies, however, can only be through media, and using all of the tools of communication and analysis which are used by the lying authorities. Despite our numbers and all of the suppression the truth movement is alive and growing, simply because when you do start connecting dots the only thing which really hangs together is the truth. The control freaks know that knowledge is power and that is why they want to keep us in ignorance all of the time, and especially regarding their machinations to conquer and exploit the remaining independent regimes of the world. Thus we see the big fat US-led West and Russia both controlled by the Zio money power carving up places such as Ukraine and Syria. Next, if they cannot intimidate Iran into surrender, then after some false flag operation they will devastate the place.
They care nothing about anyone else but their own dominance and control, and no matter how many they murder and clear off their lands, in places such as the Ukraine, Syria, Gaza, and Iran to come, to them it is all theatre and necessary to raise the right fears to fool the people and take what they want.
Everybody and their dog knew that the rabid criminally insane kikes were going to attack Iran…which makes it even more stupefying that Iran couldn’t seem to shoot down even one kike plane or that demonic Mossad pig-f*ckers were allegedly able to just saunter around Iran freely to sabotage air defenses.
And if Iran has expected Russia to be a reliable ally in the face of the Jews’ frenzy of fomenting mayhem, misery, and murder, they only have to look at Syria and how Russia did f*ck all while the frothing psychopaths of Satania and the Jewnited States shoved the cuntry over a barrel, reamed its ass with a large iron fist, and shat all over the place….which of course only created more hate towards the kike cucked west.
tony = putintard
@Umbra Bellator….and also Libya.
Iran does not recognize Crimea as part of Russia so why would they back the masonic islamic state of Iran?
Russia has also betrayed Syria to Israel.
With friends like these…
LOL..
Vlad offered to moderate the peace talks so the story goes…or more likely the mullahs surrender..but was probably too busy washing zelig’s balls..and face timing jug ears nuttyahood..about his payment for syria
it’s a bit like the z anon crowd and all the clickbait spooks on the payroll..and all the retards that have outsourced their critical thinking skills to some dubious lying twat on social media…
they should all get in one grand circle of fake solidarity washing each others balls, carefully and conscientiously, like they were really good friends…
live streamed of course on rumble…whilst reciting the names of all the cuntry’s in the Goldman Saxon’s Brics world order..which was bought to you courtesy of the yankee asylum and raytheon black cube..
sponsors of the next world war they are casting for…. and the one after that..
that should fucking cover it..
