What was supposed to unfold in Iran has arrived in Europe. In France, rising fuel prices have placed additional pressure on public finances and increased costs for several key sectors — a matter that has indirectly become a driver of the protests now filling the streets, and the unrest is spreading to other European countries. A continent that spent years echoing Washington's line on Iran is now absorbing the cost of a war it cheered from a distance, as Iran's full authority over the Strait of Hormuz makes itself felt at the fuel station and in the square.

In "Words of Wisdom" and "Word for Word," the martyred Leader's assessment of Europe returns with the weight of a warning that has come to pass: a continent politically weak, echoing whatever Washington says, subservient to American and Zionist policy.

Featuring a "Memorable Frame" from February 18, 2015, when the martyred Leader told the people of East Azerbaijan Province that the enemy's sanctions were meant to humiliate Iran and halt its movement — and declared that the Iranian nation could impose sanctions too, holding the world's largest combined reserves of oil and gas.

In "Opinion," we examine how the one fanning the flames is now caught in the fire — the collapse of Washington's claims about the Strait of Hormuz, and the irony of a Europe that could not withstand a few months of disruption while it has imposed the most severe sanctions on Iran for nearly half a century.

In "A Moment with Caravan of Martyrs," marking the anniversary of his martyrdom, we pay tribute to Martyr Arman Aliverdi — a Basij member who served flood victims and Quranic students, and who was bound, beaten, and left at the roadside by a foreign-backed mob in the 2022 riots. He was twenty-one, a symbol of the generation that kept its pledge.
