Iran Failed to Provide Basic Necessities, So Protests Swept Through the Country
Students demonstrated at several universities in Tehran and Isfahan to protest the deteriorating economic situation. The Iranian Labor News Agency (ILNA), quoting one of its correspondents, reported that “these demonstrations were organized in Tehran at Beheshti, Khajeh Nasir, Sharif, Amir Kabir, Science and Culture University, and Science and Technology University, as well as at the University of Technology in Isfahan.” Commenting on the protests, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized that “the people’s livelihood is my daily concern.” He stated, “We have fundamental measures on the agenda to reform the monetary and banking system and preserve the people’s purchasing power.” In a post on his social media account, he said, “I have instructed the Interior Minister to engage in dialogue with representatives of the protesters to listen to their legitimate demands, so that the government can work diligently to resolve the problems and respond responsibly.” The spontaneous activism began in Tehran’s largest mobile phone market, before expanding and gaining momentum the following day. Merchants, angered by a further drop in the value of the national currency, closed their shops and staged protests in the capital's bustling shopping district. State media reported that schools, banks, and public institutions closed in Tehran and other provinces due to the cold and to conserve energy, without linking the closures to the protests. The closures affected the provinces of Alborz and Qom, in the north, Hamadan and Lorestan, in the west, North Khorasan, in the northeast, and Yazd in the center.
On December 18, Iraqi and American Forces Carried Out a Joint Airdrop Operation Inside Syrian Territory, Which Resulted in the Arrest of Individuals Accused of Joining ISIS
This comes as part of the pursuit of ISIS remnants and efforts to prevent their movements across the Syrian-Iraqi border. The Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya Channel quoted an Iraqi security source as saying that the operation was carried out in coordination with the Syrian government and targeted three ISIS leaders, two of whom are Iraqi nationals. According to the source, a US force, accompanied by Iraqi forces, conducted an airborne operation in the western part of two small villages located about 60 kilometers south of the city of Hasakah, near the Iraqi-Syrian border. The operation resulted in the arrest of two of the wanted men, while the third was not at home during the operation. An Enab Baladi correspondent in Ras al-Ayn reported that the operation was coordinated with Damascus, but that Syrian Interior Ministry forces did not participate. In addition to the ISIS members, the forces arrested a civilian from the town and later released him, according to the correspondent. In the same context, the Iraqi Security Media Cell confirmed, in a statement carried by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the arrest of “two important targets wanted by the Iraqi judiciary” in an operation carried out by the Falcon Intelligence Cell inside Syrian territory. The statement explained that the operation came “under the direction and supervision of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces,” and was carried out by an airborne force belonging to the Federal Intelligence and Investigations Agency of the Iraqi Ministry of Interior, in coordination with the Syrian security forces, and with technical support and assistance from the international coalition.
In the same context, the Jordanian army confirmed the Royal Jordanian Air Force's participation in the US-led airstrikes against ISIS positions in Syria, in response to an attack that killed three Americans last December. The army stated that “the Royal Jordanian Air Force carried out precise air operations last night targeting a number of ISIS terrorist targets in several areas within Syrian territory, as part of ongoing regional and international efforts to combat terrorism." The statement added that "these operations were conducted in coordination with partners within the framework of the international coalition, in which the Syrian government participates, in an effort to neutralize the capabilities of terrorist groups and prevent them from reorganizing or using these areas as launching pads to threaten the security of neighboring countries and regional security.” The statement concluded that “Jordan's participation is in line with the Kingdom’s policy of combating terrorism and extremism, defending its national security, and contributing to the preservation of security and stability in the region.”
Even Britain and France are Violating the Land and Airspace of Syria under the Rule of Al-Golani, who is Excessively Oppressive to the Country and its People
The British Royal Air Force, in a joint operation with France, carried out what it described as “successful” airstrikes against the ISIS group in the Palmyra region of eastern Homs province on Saturday, January 3. Typhoon FGR fighter jets, supported by a Voyager refueling aircraft, joined French aircraft in a joint air raid on an underground facility, according to the British Ministry of Defence. The ministry stated that British aircraft used Paveway IV guided bombs to target several tunnels leading to the facility, adding that initial indications suggested the strike was successful, while a detailed assessment continued. The British Ministry of Defence denied any risk to civilians as a result of the raid, confirming that all aircraft returned safely. The ministry indicated that "precise" intelligence analysis revealed the existence of an underground facility in the mountains, miles north of Palmyra, noting that the ISIS group was using the facility to store weapons and explosives. The Syrian government has not commented on the strikes as of the time of this report. British Defence Secretary John Healey said the operation “demonstrates the UK’s leadership and determination to stand shoulder to shoulder with its allies to defeat any resurgence of ISIS and its dangerous and violent ideology in the Middle East.” He added that “the operation is aimed at eliminating dangerous terrorists who threaten our way of life and demonstrates the readiness of the British Armed Forces to intervene year-round to keep Britain safe at home and strong abroad.” Healey thanked all members of the British Armed Forces who participated in the operation for their “professionalism and courage,” noting that they were among the thousands of British personnel deployed over the Christmas and New Year period.
Al-Waie Magazine: Unless the sincere take action and stop Al-Golani's treachery, Syria will become a playground for every greedy foreign enemy, if it hasn't become so already. This will require tremendous additional efforts to overcome the new reality created by Al-Golani and his masters: the consolidation of influence by disbelievers, their agent rulers of Muslims, and their spies in the country, whether through military, cultural, media, economic, or other forms of occupation.
It is a great sin and a disgrace for people to turn from being mujahideen and rebels against injustice into allies of the belligerent disbeliever, fighting alongside him against their Muslim brothers.
Some Agents in the Pakistani Regime Want to Extend the Rope of Agency for America, by Resuming Wars within the Islamic Ummah so that Brother Kills Brother in the Name of Combating Terrorism
Pakistani military spokesman Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry stated that Afghanistan had become the primary base for terrorism in the region by 2025, asserting that Islamabad’s position on Afghanistan's role in the escalation of terrorist activities was now internationally accepted. During a press conference, the spokesman explained that Pakistan's main focus in 2025 was on security issues, particularly counterterrorism. Chaudhry asserted that what currently exists in Afghanistan cannot be described as a “government,” noting that this entity defines itself as a “provisional government.” He added that Afghanistan, in its current state, is merely a “geographical expression,” referring to the country’s demographics and pointing out that Pashtuns constitute 42% of the population, while the remaining percentage includes Tajiks, Uzbeks, Turkmen, Hazaras, and other ethnic groups. The Pakistani military spokesman declared that the war against terrorism is “the war of the entire Pakistani nation,” indicating that 2025 witnessed the implementation of “the most comprehensive and effective counterterrorism measures” in the country’s history. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry addressed the Doha agreement between the United States and the Taliban, explaining that the agreement explicitly stipulated that Afghan territory should not be used for terrorist purposes. However, he said that terrorist groups and banned organizations are currently active inside Afghanistan, adding that “this country has become a center for terrorist operations in the region.”
Elon Musk Releases an Online Program that Makes It Easier to Make Fake Images by Superimposing Naked Bodies onto Real Faces
Malaysia has blocked access to Elon Musk's artificial intelligence model Grok, amid global outcry over the chatbot’s ability to generate sexually explicit images of people without their consent. The Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) said it had temporarily banned Grok after ordering its developer, xAI, and the social media platform X to provide assurances that they would comply with the law.
Al-Waie Magazine: The rulings of evidence are established by Islamic Shariah Law as a method for establishing evidence of testimony, whether in financial, criminal, or other matters. Hizb ut Tahrir authored a book on this topic entitled “The Rules of Testimonial Evidence,” in which it clarified that photographs and extended video recordings are not considered legally admissible evidence, a position held long before the advent of artificial intelligence.
America Finds that the New Rulers of Ash-Sham Do Not Disobey Orders, So It Gives the Golan Heights as a Gift to the Jewish Entity During a Live Broadcast
Speaking about one of his most impactful foreign policy decisions, US President Donald Trump recalled his decision to recognize “Israeli” sovereignty over the Golan Heights after decades of stalled diplomacy. Trump said that no one, not even his closest allies, had asked him to take this step, but he made it quickly after listening to the security briefing and the historical context. Trump explained that he asked former US Ambassador to the Jewish entity David Friedman to explain the Golan issue in five minutes, and after just two minutes, he said, he understood how crucial Israel needed the Golan Heights defensively, especially at a time when control of the heights was a critical element of security before the development of radar systems. He added, “I learned enough, and I signed the Golan Heights over to Israel. Nobody thought that was possible to get. They’ve been working on it for 70 years.”
America wants a weak governing body that takes orders from the puny Jewish entity in the West, and rewards it with a crooked throne to make the Ummah appear weaker than the Jewish, even though it is not.
Syria, “Israel,” and the United States said in a joint statement published on January 6, 2026, by the US State Department, that the Jewish entity and Syria agreed during talks in Paris, mediated by the US, to establish a communications cell to coordinate security, intelligence, and trade issues. However, a Syrian official told Reuters that “no strategic issues can be addressed without a binding and clear timetable for a complete Israeli withdrawal” from the territories it seized, after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad in late 2024. The joint US State Department statement indicated that the new Syrian government and Israel would form a joint group, under US supervision, to share intelligence and work to contain military escalation on the ground.
Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Sheibani participated in talks held in Paris following repeated “Israeli” strikes on Syria, despite US displeasure with Israeli pressure on the fragile government in Damascus. The Jewish entity confirmed that it held security talks with Syria in Paris, under US auspices, aimed at promoting regional stability and economic cooperation.
A Syrian official said that “no strategic issues” could be addressed in talks with the Jewish entity without a clear and binding timetable for the withdrawal of Jewish forces from Syrian territory they seized after the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
The official, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity, said the latest round of US-mediated talks in Paris concluded with a US initiative for “an immediate freeze on all Israeli military activities” against Syria.
The Syrian official accused the Jewish entity of resorting to “technical stalling tactics” in the talks and said it must abandon its “expansionist mentality” for the negotiations to move forward. Syria seeks a Jewish withdrawal to the positions it held before Assad’s overthrow and wants a security framework that guarantees its sovereignty and prevents interference in its internal affairs.
The joint statement issued after the Paris talks said that Syria and the Jewish entity committed to “making arrangements that ensure lasting security and stability for both countries.” The statement read: “The two sides decided to establish a joint integration mechanism—a liaison cell—to facilitate immediate and ongoing coordination regarding intelligence sharing, de-escalation, diplomatic engagement, and trade opportunities, under U.S. supervision.”
It added: “This mechanism will serve as a platform to address any disagreements promptly and prevent misunderstandings.” The meeting, held at the initiative of the United States, was the first in months between Israel and Syria, which do not have diplomatic relations. A statement from the office of Jewish Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that “the dialogue took place within the framework of President Trump’s vision for advancing peace in the Middle East,” explaining that the Jewish entity emphasized during the talks “the importance of ensuring the security of its citizens and avoiding threats along its borders.” The statement added that “Israel reiterated its commitment to promoting regional stability and security, as well as the need to advance economic cooperation for the benefit of both countries.” It noted that the two sides agreed to “continue the dialogue to advance common goals and protect the security of the Druze minority in Syria.” The Jewish entity has indicated that one of the reasons for its intervention in Syria is to protect the Druze from violence.
Al-Waie Magazine: The new rulers of Syria are assigned roles and orders both within and outside Ash-Sham to implement systems of kufr (disbelief) and commit acts of treachery beyond imagination, even surpassing the levels of subservience conceived by Hafez and Bashar. These acts include preserving the independence of sectarian entities such as the Druze, Alawite, Sunni, and Jewish entities, among other despicable roles, and combating the Islamic movements striving to establish an Islamic state and resume the Islamic way of life. They also target those who refuse to integrate into the international order, all while enshrining the secular constitution imported from the West by Hafez and Bashar.
Arab Rulers and Some Western Countries Are Content with Mere Condemnation and Denunciation, as They Watch the Jewish Entity Seize New Lands in the West Bank and Expel Muslims from Them.
Fourteen Western countries condemned the Jewish Security Cabinet's approval of 19 new settlement units in the occupied West Bank, demanding that Tel Aviv reverse its decision and halt settlement expansion. A joint statement issued by these Western nations—including Britain, France, Germany, Belgium, Canada, and Spain—stated, “We call on Israel to reverse this decision, as well as the expansion of settlements, in line with UNSC Resolution 2334.” The statement also said, “We recall that such unilateral actions, as part of a wider intensification of the settlement policies in the West Bank, not only violate international law but also risk fueling instability.”
For his part, Jewish Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar rejected the statement issued by the foreign countries, saying in a post on X that the resolution aimed to help address the security threats facing the Jewish entity. Sa’ar added, attacking the signatory countries, “Foreign governments will not impose restrictions on the right of Jews to live in the land of Israel, and such calls are morally reprehensible and discriminatory against Jews.” On Sunday 21 December 2026, the Jewish Security Cabinet approved a plan to establish 19 new settlements, a move that is likely to escalate tensions in the Palestinian territories.
Modernizing and Expanding Military Capabilities is an Illusion When Relying on Foreign Occupiers, and Only Becomes a Reality by Encouraging Muslim Minds to Innovate.
Nigeria announced the completion of a deal to purchase 24 Aermacchi M-346 Master fighter jets from the Italian aerospace and defense company Leonardo, for an estimated value of €1.2 billion, including long-term maintenance and support contracts. The deal is part of Nigeria’s plan to modernize its air force and expand its operational capabilities. Deliveries are expected to begin in early 2025 with the arrival of three aircraft, with the entire fleet to be delivered by mid-2026. The government had previously approved a $618 million loan to purchase six attack aircraft of the same type, along with accompanying munitions. In addition to these fighter jets, Abuja is working to enhance its capabilities by acquiring helicopters and support systems, in an effort to restructure the air force to meet escalating security challenges.
Ten Years After Operation Decisive Storm Adopted by Bin Salman, It Became Clear That the “Storm” Was Intended to Curtail the Role of Britain’s Agents in Yemen
Saudi Arabia reiterated its demand for the UAE to withdraw its forces from Yemen within 24 hours, emphasizing that it would not hesitate to take the necessary steps to counter any threat to its security. This came in a statement issued by the Saudi Cabinet regarding the ongoing developments in Yemen. The Cabinet, in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency, said that the recent escalation in Yemen violates the principles upon which the Coalition to Support Legitimacy was founded. The statement read: “We hope that the UAE will respond to Yemen’s request to cease all support for any other party within Yemen.” The Cabinet also demanded that the UAE comply with Yemen's request to halt all support for the Southern Transitional Council. The Cabinet statement asserted that the recent escalation in Yemen is inconsistent with the promises the Kingdom received from the UAE. It added: “We hope that the UAE will respond to Yemen’s request for the withdrawal of Emirati forces within 24 hours.” The Cabinet stressed the Kingdom's commitment to Yemen's security, stability, and sovereignty, and its support for the President of the Presidential Leadership Council. The statement reiterated that the Kingdom would not hesitate to take the necessary steps to counter any threat to its security. The President of the Yemeni Presidential Leadership Council, Rashad al-Alimi, had previously demanded the withdrawal of all Emirati forces from all Yemeni territory within 24 hours.
Al-Waie Magazine: The Media Office of Hizb ut Tahrir in Wilayah Yemen issued a press release dated 14 Rajab 1447 AH, corresponding to January 3, 2026 CE, which included the following
“Riyadh has tools in southern Yemen, namely the forces of the Hadramout Tribes Alliance led by Sheikh Amr bin Hubraish, and it has the Dira‘ Al-Watan forces that it established in 2023 and sponsored to use them to strengthen its influence. These are forces affiliated with the Al-Alimi government that is subordinate to Britain. However, Saudi Arabia exerts heavy pressure on it, as it leads the so-called Arab coalition, hosts Al-Alimi and his council, and practices significant economic pressure by controlling the deposits of the Aden Bank belonging to his government. It also caused the oil revenues that were being exported from southern Yemen to be deposited in the Saudi National Bank. Thus, the Al-Alimi government has effectively become a captive of Riyadh. And since it is subordinate to Britain, they proceed in its manner, accommodating Riyadh and laying traps for it. When they reach a dead end, Britain, through the UAE, gives the green light to the Transitional Council to carry out actions that disturb Saudi Arabia and America standing behind it.
In contrast, Abu Dhabi, Britain’s protégé, has the Southern Transitional Council and Tariq Saleh and his forces stationed on the western coast to protect Bab al-Mandab in its interest.
Riyadh has shown severity and harshness toward the Transitional Council and its regional sponsor, Abu Dhabi. Thus, the forces of the Hadramout Tribes Alliance, led by Amr bin Hubraish, Riyadh’s man in Hadramout, clashed with the Hadrami Elite Forces loyal to the Transitional Council, and a drone struck the forces of the Transitional Council in Khashm Al-‘Ayn in Al-‘Abr District. The matter even reached the point of striking shipments of armored vehicles and weapons at the port of Al-Mukalla on Tuesday, 30/12/2025. Riyadh also dictated to Rashad Al-Alimi, loyal to Britain—who is effectively a captive in Riyadh and under its pressure, just like the former president Abdrabbuh Mansur Hadi—a decision on 30/12/2025 to cancel the joint defense agreement with Abu Dhabi within the coalition forces and to expel its forces from Yemen within 24 hours.
If only Saudi Arabia and its Minister of Defense had been resolute with the Jewish entity, which has been grinding Gaza Hashim for two full years and continues to do so before their very eyes and ears, while it lies a stone’s throw away from them, and if only their aircraft had been directed in defense of Gaza against the Jewish entity! Allah the Exalted says,
[مُّحَمَّدٌ رَّسُولُ اللَّهِ وَالَّذِينَ مَعَهُ أَشِدَّاءُ عَلَى الْكُفَّارِ رُحَمَاءُ بَيْنَهُمْ]
“Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah; and those with him are forceful against the disbelievers, merciful among themselves” [Surat Al-Fath: 29].
So, is Riyadh carrying out this entire campaign out of love for Yemen? Or in support of an illusory legitimacy for which Allah (swt) has sent down no authority? The answer lies in the fact that Riyadh, with all its appendages and capabilities, is doing what it is doing solely in service of Washington, to control the oil of Hadramout and to obtain access to the Arabian Sea, in order to direct the oil of both of them through its planned oil pipeline to the Indian and Pacific Oceans, away from the noise of Bab al-Mandab and the Strait of Hormuz!
Saudi Arabia is an agent of America, pursuing the agents of Britain in southern Yemen, foremost among them the Transitional Council since its emergence in 2017, which displaced the Southern Movement whose establishment America sponsored in 2006, headed by Hassan Baoum. On its land, the eight-member Presidential Council was born, while it holds its members on its territory. It crushed the forces of the Republican Guard because they represented the influence of Britain’s agent, affiliated with the late Ali Saleh during the years of war 2015–2022. It entrenched the Houthis in Sana’a and went along with the United Nations aircraft carrying weapons to them on its daily flights to Sana’a Airport, instead of expelling them according to the objectives of the coalition it led.
Saudi Arabia, under the leadership of Salman bin Abdulaziz and his son Muhammad, has explicitly cast off the bond of Islam. They call for Vision 2030, which sponsors deviance and deviants in the land of the Two Holy Mosques, and they are building the city of NEOM adjacent to the Jewish entity, to divert the attention and minds of the Muslims away from Mecca. The Americans have described Bin Salman as the Mustafa Kemal of this era!”
