But why did America stop and attack ships in Caribbean and imposed blockade on Cuba ? In Hormuz there was no threat to navigation until they started this war. One party cannot be made to obey to the demands of others. America and Israel are being lazy because they think they are militarily superior.

For most of America's history, freedom of navigation has been treated not as a privilege to be sold, but as a right to be defended. To abandon that now in the Strait of Hormuz, as President Trump has suggested, is to trade a durable advantage for a fleeting gain. My take:

Abbas Araghci "Neden uranyum zenginleştirmede ısrar ettik?" Okumanızı tavsiye ederim: - "Neden zenginleştirme (uranyum) konusunda bu kadar ısrar ettik ve ediyoruz? Neden üzerimize savaş dayatılsa bile bundan vazgeçmeye razı değiliz? Çünkü kimsenin bize neye sahip olmamız veya olmamamız gerektiğini söylemeye hakkı yok. Bu, tahakkümü reddetme (nefy-i sulte) ilkesine dayanmaktadır. ​Yasalara göre zenginleştirme yapmak benim hakkımdır ve bu hakkı kullanıp kullanmamak sadece beni ilgilendirir. Yıllardır bize söylenen ve hala söylenmeye devam eden 'Zenginleştirme yapmaya hakkınız yok, zenginleştirme sıfır olmalı' söylemi... Neden? 'Çünkü endişeliyiz.' diyorlar. ​Eğer endişeliyseniz, biz bu endişeleri gidermeye hazırız. Bir soru mu var? Cevap veririz. Güven mi yok? Güven inşa ederiz. Ama kimsenin bize 'Ben öyle istediğim için sen buna sahip olamazsın' demeye hakkı yoktur. ​Yıllardır süregelen hareketimizin sırrı budur; kendi hakkımızda ısrarcı olduk. Zenginleştirme önemlidir, ancak bunun yanında daha önemli olan şey, İran İslam Cumhuriyeti'nin kimseden talimat almadığını ve hiçbir tahakküm altına girmediğini kanıtlamasıdır. ​İran'ın barışçıl nükleer programının hedeflerine ilişkin herhangi bir soru veya belirsizlik varsa, cevap vermeye ve bu belirsizliği gidermeye hazırız. Bunun yolu da sadece diplomasiden geçer. Diğer yolları denediler ve bir sonuç alamadılar. ​Müzakere, ancak İran halkının hakları teslim edildiğinde, saygı duyulduğunda ve biz hakkımızı kullanabildiğimizde bir sonuca ulaşacaktır. Biz kimseden hakkımızı tanımasını beklemiyoruz; hakkımız zaten kendi içinde meşrudur, hakkımız mevcuttur. Bizim istediğimiz, hakkımıza saygı duyulmasıdır." Abbas Araghci'nin bu açıklaması bence sadece ABD'ye değil onların temsil ettiği zihniyetin yaklaşık bir yüz yıldır biz Müslümanlara üstten bakışçı zihniyetlerine verilmiş izzetli bir cevaptır. Bu cevap artık sizin zorba ve değerlerinizi dikte etme döneminin kapandığının beyanıdır. İran bu savaştan alnının akıyla çıkacarsa artık ABD eski ABD olacak ne de Müslümanlar eski Müslümanlar olacaktır inşallah.

@elonmusk People should also listen to themselves.

Freedom of speech is the bedrock of democracy

War divides; hope unites. Arrogance tramples upon others; love lifts up. Idolatry blinds us; the living God enlightens. All it takes is a little faith, a mere “crumb” of faith, in order to face this dramatic hour in history together — as humanity and alongside humanity. #Peace vatican.va/content/leo-xi…

All nations should cut bilateral trade and economic ties with Israel. What this regime is doing in Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon is nothing short of monstrous.

Israel’s Op. Eternal Darkness in Lebanon reminds me of filming in a Beirut hospital during the Israeli invasion of 1982. The doctors had to concentrate on the most life-threatening injuries, which were mostly internal. We filmed in the corridor outside the operating theatre. Each new stretcher paused so a line of young boys could grab the biggest chunks of shrapnel sticking out of the patients and yank them out under the direction of a nurse. The groaning of the victims as the shrapnel came out was something I can’t forget. Four decades on, similar things are happening yet again.

@Acyn One sided blame games have become passé. Time to show some honesty and courage.

There can be some closure only when all parties are held accountable and they accept their respective responsibilities. Excessive prosecution and censure of just one party, without accepting the attitudes, behaviours and circumstances that led to aggression, sounds just loud , mindless and hollow, not serious or sincere

Fetterman: I do not think we can walk away because here we are, we are at the cusp of possibly creating enduring kinds of real peace in there and holding Iran accountable.

And by a victim complex. The other day was surprised to see my help’s profile picture, in which was the line , I’m proud to say that I’m a Hindu in marathi followed by Jai Shri Ram . This line is heard in many places. Whoever is stopping them to be a Hindu in a Hindu majority country is difficult to understand. This same victimhood will get repeated in many subsections in many states roiling the social scene. Each to his own, thus foregoing the skills of cooperation and collaboration that have been acquired through years of practice.

Argued before that India had regressed to the "small-nation" nationalism of countries like Israel, as theorized by Israeli scholar Uriel Abulof. A nationalism marked by persistent mortal insecurity & moral crisis, which frames perception of every issue. telegraphindia.com/opinion/going-…

In his strongest condemnation yet of the Trump-Vance war against Iran, Pope Leo XIV said today: “We are surrounded by a delusion of omnipotence that’s becoming increasingly unpredictable and aggressive.” “We are met by threats instead of invitations to come together. “Those who pray don’t threaten death. Death enslaves those who have turned their backs on God and turned themselves and their own power into a mute, blind, and deaf idol. “They demand the whole world bends their knee. Enough of the idolatry of self and money! Enough of the display of power! Enough of war! “True strength is shown in serving life!”

@TheRabbitHole Surely you are not saying that SA is obliged to be nice to everyone , woke ?

South Africa’s racist policies prevented Starlink from operating there

@husainhaqqani Sorry, it’s deeper on the Omani side

@husainhaqqani A country harassed and debilitated by sanctions and invasions can remind the world that the Strait includes its territorial waters. The depth is more on the Iranian side.

The Strait of Hormuz is an international strait. Under UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (which Iran has not ratified) all ships & aircraft enjoy freedom of navigation & overflight. No state can suspend this right. Rights are not subject to negotiation & renegotiation.

@AndrewAllan6 @husainhaqqani Sorry, yes , it’s deeper on Omani side

@Preethdjangs @husainhaqqani No depth is on Omani side

@husainhaqqani If they had been as rogue as they are projected to be , they would have staked this claim to the strait before. Or roguery is a trait shared by all the actors in this theatre and Iran is not particularly rogue.

@RoshanKrRaii US infra is in a state of disrepair, according to a documentary I recently saw.

US 🇺🇸 Sec Marco Rubio : “If Iran 🇮🇷 spent billions on people instead of weapons, it would be a much better country” Meanwhile average Iranian Metro Station :

@Smita_Sharma Every plan that is not implemented somewhat well to resolve a problem is just an announcement or hoax

10 point plan was hoax? 😐

@elonmusk Can’t trust anyone!

Can’t trust WhatsApp

@AJEnglish Height of Dumbery, super dumb , Israel committing crimes against land and its people.

HRW says Israel “systematically destroyed” bridges over Lebanon’s Litani River, striking nine between March 12 and April 8 and leaving only one operational crossing between southern Lebanon and the rest of the country 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.news/sj8l1p

As the US and Iran prepare for talks in Pakistan, Israel continues to bombard Lebanon, as Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi warns that if Washington lets Netanyahu “kill diplomacy”, it risks “cratering its economy”. 🔴 Follow our LIVE coverage: aje.news/sj8l1p
