Security analyst Yair Goldblatt reports that the Islamic Jihad delegation, including Secretary-General Ziad al-Nakhalah, has arrived in Tehran, and that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is documenting every senior official. He describes the gathering as a power display of the Iranian axis.
At 17:54 Jerusalem on Friday, security analyst Yair Goldblatt reported that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is documenting every senior official present at a proxy summit in Tehran, describing the gathering as a power display of the Iranian axis. Goldblatt's report focuses on the IRGC's handling of the event, noting the documentation of officials from all angles. This follows earlier reports from The Zioneer that Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Secretary-General Ziad al-Nakhalah and a delegation had arrived in Tehran (Friday, 16:19 Jerusalem), alongside a Hamas delegation including Osama Hamdan, Zaher Jabarin, and Muhammad Darwish (Friday, 16:19 Jerusalem). The desk previously noted al-Nakhalah's resurfacing after months of public absence for the funeral of the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. The IRGC's documentation was mentioned in earlier thread versions as part of a show of force, and Goldblatt's analysis adds specificity to that claim. Background context from The Zioneer includes reports of an IRGC commander stating Iran enters negotiations from a position of high military readiness (Tue, Jun 30, 14:30 Jerusalem), and the attendance of Iran's top three leaders at Khamenei's funeral (Thu, Jul 2, 15:42 Jerusalem). The specific detail of the IRGC's comprehensive documentation and its framing as a power display comes from Goldblatt, a single source, and remains unverified from other channels.
