🗞️ Kamal Kharrazi, Former Iranian Foreign Minister and Senior Adviser to Supreme Leader, Dies from Airstrike Injuries Kharrazi, the head of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations, has died from injuries sustained in a U.S.-Israeli airstrike on his Tehran home on April 1. His wife was killed in the initial attack. The 81-year-old served as Iran’s foreign minister from 1997 to 2005 and as ambassador to the United Nations from 1989 to 1997. He was a senior adviser to the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and continued in that role under his successor, Mojtaba Khamenei. At the time of the strike, Kharrazi had reportedly been working with Pakistani intermediaries to arrange a direct meeting between Iranian officials and Vice President JD Vance — making him a central figure in the diplomatic channel that ultimately produced the fragile ceasefire now under severe strain.

Japan’s invasion of China was not the crime of a few isolated militarists floating above society. It required mass mobilization, public consent, media propaganda, industrial cooperation, emperor worship, and a society willing to move with the machinery of empire. So no, this is not a history that can be washed clean by pretending that “ordinary people were all innocent.” In fact, Japanese fascism committed the most serious atrocities in human history in Asia. It was not just war. It was invasion, occupation, massacre, colonization, rape, bacteriological warfare, and brutal experiments on living human beings. Its crimes were so grotesque that even the language of “war crimes” feels too clean for them. And now Japanese neo-fascists still dare to call that invasion “Asian liberation” and dismiss documented atrocities as propaganda. Japan should be grateful that China’s civilizational restraint was far greater than that of many so-called “civilized” states. If Israel can justify massacring Gazans by invoking the fact that Hamas was elected in Gaza, then China would have had far greater grounds to pursue collective historical vengeance against Japan for the social complicity behind its war crimes. And yet, these descendants of fascists now believe that the Chinese government's restraint is condoning their wanton rewriting of history. They forget that memory is the foundation upon which the Chinese nation has continued to this day. The regime may forgive your crimes, but the Chinese people will never.
