@Steven_Swinford @1goodtern Project 2025 has reached the chapter on genocide. Many in poorer countries will die because their crops rely on fertilisers for their poor soil

Stark warnings from Lars Jensen, a maritime expert, this morning on the impact of the Iran war: * The impact will be 'substantially larger' than the oil price shock of the 1970s 'Back then the amount of goods not just oil but also fertiliser, aluminium it was a lot less than we were depending on today. The impact we're seeing today is going to be substantially larger than what we saw back in the 1970s. A lot of people are underestimating what the impact is.' • The current oil price rises are 'just beginning' 'It would appear we are only at the beginning of those price escalations. We need to keep in mind that a lot of the oil that was loaded in the Persian Gulf prior to this crisis is still right now arriving in some of the refineries around the world. That will soon stop. The oil shortages we are seeing are only going to get worse. Even if magically the Strait of Hormuz would reopen tomorrow' * Even if the Strait of Hormuz opened tomorrow there would be six to 12 months of higher prices 'Even if you open tomorrow you are going to feel these higher prices at least for the next six months or more. That's before we take into account the facilities that have now been destroyed in the Persian Gulf. We need to sit back from a global perspective and start to work around that we will face massive energy costs, not just while this crisis goes on but also for six to 12 months once it is over' * Britain may have to follow other nations in advising people to conserve fuel - but in reality there is little I can do That might have to be measures if you want to keep costs under control because with the developments in the last few weeks in the Strait of Hormuz it appears exceedingly unlikely there is any short-term respite to the flow of goods. In reality not very much. At the end of the day it boils down to whether or not Iranians want to shoot at ships in the Strait of Hormuz. * Serious concern over fertiliser shortages leading to higher food prices 'We talk a lot about oil. What has me a lot more concerned is fertiliser. We've got 20-30 per cent of the seaborne fertiliser in the world originating from the Gulf. This will mean rapidly escalating food prices'

@DeanEggitt @medicalmodelbri It’s not GPs, though, is it. It’s the utter mess that PAs have made of the system with unnecessary and ill informed referrals

Corridor care. A policy to block 25% of referrals from GPs. Blocking doctor training as a negotiation tactic. I think it's time for Wes Streeting to go.

The Tongass is the worlds largest intact temperate rain forest IN THE WORLD, and a globally significant ecosystem as it serves as a major carbon sink, storing more biomass per acre than many tropical jungles. You don't hate this regime enough. #PublicLands

Italy's Defence Minister on the consequences of the Iran war for Italy: “I am forced to know things about what could happen in the coming week, and the effects it will have on the economy and our daily lives, that no longer allow me to sleep.” [@repubblica]

Absolute outrage. UNIFIL confirms UN bases in Lebanon have been repeatedly struck by fire. A peacekeeper was just killed in the line of duty. This is a blatant violation of international law. The targeting of UN personnel must stop immediately.

a nuclear scientist just got killed in an airstrike in Iran and honestly i need to talk about this because western media won't & i think most people don't understand what they're looking at as i've been explaining for weeks now in multiple threads, Israel through Mossad has been assassinating Iranian scientists for over a decade and i genuinely think the Fakhrizadeh case is one of the most terrifying operations in modern intelligence history this man was killed in 2020 by a remote controlled ai-powered machine gun smuggled into Iran in pieces over several months, the whole thing weighed a ton, it was mounted on a pickup truck on the side of the road and operated via satellite from a Mossad command center 1 600 km away, 15 bullets fired in under 60 seconds, the AI compensated for the satellite delay the recoil and the speed of the car in real time, that's how far they're willing to go to eliminate Iranian brainpower one by one but here's what i find fascinating, the assassinations didn't break the ecosystem because it runs too deep, so they escalated, US just bombed Iran's university of science and technology, one of the oldest and most prestigious in the country and if you've been following me you already know why this matters these are the same institutions that took Iran from 58th to 4th in the world in nanotechnology in 20y that produce the engineers who designed the Arvand rocket engine and the maneuverable reentry vehicles, that trained the physicists behind the MRBM to IRBM leap to 4 000 km on Diego Garcia, i've been writing about this scientific ecosystem for years and everything happening right now is the logical continuation of what i already laid out and i think that's the part nobody wants to say out loud, this war was never about nukes or regime change, i believe it's about dismantling the only sovereign state in the Middle East and i mean the ONLY ONE look at every other country in the region, Saudi Arabia outsources its entire defense to the Pentagon & couldn't fight a war in Yemen for 8y without American logistics and still lost, the UAE bought F-35s in exchange for normalizing with Israel, Qatar hosts the largest US air base in the region at Al Udeid, Bahrain hosts the US Fifth fleet, Kuwait, Iraq Jordan are military protectorates in everything but name none of these countries design manufacture or deploy their own weapons systems, none of them have an indigenous defense industry, their sovereignty ends where the next Lockheed Martin contract begins, if Washington calls tomorrow and says stop they stop because they literally cannot function without american hardware Iran is the ONLY country in that entire region that built everything from scratch under 40y of total embargo because NOBODY would sell them anything and that's exactly why they're the target they know the only way to stop this machine is to kill the people who build it…and when killing them one by one wasn't enough to crack an ecosystem too deep to break, they started bombing the universities directly and i'll say this as clearly as i can you don't bomb a university when you're winning a war, you bomb a university when you've realized the real threat was never the arsenal it was the intelligence behind it and you have no idea how to stop it

💀 The Pirate He told you who he was. You did not listen. In 1988, Donald Trump told The Guardian: “I’d go in and take it,” speaking about Kharg Island. He was a real estate developer with no authority over anything. Now he is the President of the United States and he just told the Financial Times he wants to “take the oil in Iran,” comparing it to Venezuela, where he intends to control the oil industry “indefinitely.” This is not strategy. This is colonial plunder announced on the record. Day 1: “A short excursion.” Day 5: “No ground troops.” Day 9: “The war is very complete.” Day 23: “Productive discussions.” Iran says they never happened. Day 27: “Very very temporary.” Day 28: Ground invasion being prepared. Day 29: “I want to take the oil.” Every lie peeled away until only the truth remained. He wants the oil. He always wanted the oil. The rest was theater. Brent crude at $116. Up 50% in one month. 82nd Airborne deploying. Two Marine Expeditionary Units steaming toward the Gulf. Gulf allies privately begging him not to invade. Iran warning it will retaliate against every Gulf state. Russia providing targeting intelligence. And Trump tells the Financial Times he wants to seize Kharg Island, the terminal that handles 90% of Iran’s oil exports, the way he seized Venezuela’s oil: permanently. They know they are lying. We know they are lying. They know that we know. They do not care. Because the lies were never the point. The oil is the point. The trades are the point. March 23rd. Fourteen minutes before Trump posted about peace talks Iran says were fabricated, $1.5 billion in futures bought. $60 million profit before breakfast. Financial Times documented it. Bloomberg confirmed it. Murphy: “mind-blowing corruption.” The pause was not for peace. It was for the position. Bond market collapsing. $4.7 billion fleeing long-term bonds. Consumer confidence below 2008. $5.2 trillion erased from the markets. $52 billion fleeing Asia. Fertilizer chains broken. Famine approaching. And the man responsible just told the world, on the record, that his objective is to steal another nation’s oil and hold it indefinitely. Under international law, the seizure of natural resources during military occupation is a war crime. Article 33 of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits pillage. The Rome Statute classifies it as a crime prosecutable by the International Criminal Court. Trump just announced this policy to the Financial Times as casually as he announces a golf score. He is not governing. He is looting. The nation. The world. The future. He is sending other people’s children to seize an island so that he and his circle can control the oil, manipulate the price, and trade on every announcement along the way. This is not madness. Madness implies disorder. This is organized piracy operating from the Oval Office, wrapped in a flag, financed in blood, and confessed to on the record. Hell is empty, and all the devils are here.

@NC_Renic @acrossthemersey We’re at the genocide stage of Project 2025

Stop panicking about the markets and trust Trump's plan for short term pain for medium term agony for long term catastrophe

Cuban Deputy Foreign Minister drops a massive truth bomb. She confirms Cuba fulfilled every single commitment in their historic peace agreement, but the US government unilaterally dismantled it all. Washington simply cannot be trusted to honor any diplomatic deal.

@officialrnintel Israel is going to destroy the church and blame it on Iran, isn’t it?

✝️🇮🇱 - It should be noted that the Palm Sunday Mass has never been prevented by those ruling the Holy Land since 1349, when the Black Death was ravaging the world. While the public was barred from entry in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the clergy were still permitted to conduct the rites. Neither the Six-Day War nor the Israeli War of Independence saw a formal ban on the Mass, and there is no evidence to suggest it did not take place. Ottoman and Mamluk rulers never issued such restrictive measures during their centuries of rule over Jerusalem. The last authorities to formally prohibit this Mass for political reasons were the Fatimids, prior to the destruction of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in 1009. No political entity has prevented this Mass in over 1,000 years.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Video filmed by a Tehran resident shows the aftermath of US strikes on what appears to be a residential area. This is not a military base. This is not a weapons depot. This is where people lived. The Washington Post confirmed the US is planning a ground invasion lasting up to two months. The White House says Iran has been defeated. A Tehran resident filmed what defeat looks like from the ground. Geneva Conventions Article 51: civilian populations shall not be the object of attack. That is not an opinion. That is international law.

A resident in Tehran films the US and Israel bomb densely populated neighborhoods in Tehran. These are clearly massive munitions with little to no regard for civilian casualties. Indeed, the entire neighborhood is engulfed in fire and smoke. Just as Israel did in Gaza.

@45bestwords @BarbBanfieldRN When you have people in Government who literally don’t give a **** about their fellow human beings, the environment, animals, Arts and Culture… then you have an Administration who would nuke another country. Hell, they’d nuke their allies if it benefited them

What's the line Trump can't cross, Red America? •Sending American Troops into Iran to be killed, maimed + captured? •Dropping a nuclear bomb? •Starting WW3? b/c it's not raping kids, stealing billions, treason, destroying US, gas/groceries, betraying allies, no healthcare

Massive truth bomb on live LBC radio. A caller warns that Britain is being hijacked just like America with AIPAC. She explicitly calls out "Labour Friends of Israel" and "Conservative Friends of Israel" for operating as foreign agents influencing UK politicians.

The Washington Post is citing the report of Reason2Resist on land mines that the U.S. airforce rained down on the Iranian village of Jamal Abad several days ago. The anti-tank land mines killed and wounded villagers who mistook them for harmless cans. When asked about the land mines by the Post, the U.S. military declined to comment. #Iran #iranwar

Unfortunately?

Nearly every place we visited in the last few days was struck shortly after we left, including an area directly adjacent to the hotel we were staying in. I thought I was being paranoid at first but after the Minab school was bombed just minutes after we left, which coincided with the news of two murdered journalists in Lebanon, Ive really come to believe that these were threats. As Dimitri said, there’s nothing we can do except continue our work. Their crimes must be exposed.

When US airstrikes killed 168 students & teachers at a school in Minab, Iran, apologists for the Trump regime claimed the school was adjacent to a military base. Yesterday, I went to the site of the atrocity and found no evidence to support their claim. youtube.com/watch?v=1HW_WO…
