Hajj Ali Shoeib: “Our weapon is the camera; our weapon is the image; our weapon is the message. This is the weapon that, perhaps, has come to terrify the Israeli enemy — just as missiles terrify them, and just as the Resistance fighters terrify them.”

Free Saif Abu Keshek and Thiago Ávila: The attack on the Global Sumud Flotilla and the criminalization of resistance and solidarity ift.tt/2rGhkl8

regardless of criticisms of the flotilla brigades as an action, the arrest of these activists is an opportunity for supporters in their countries & in the west to escalate, put pressure for their release & the release of 9,600+ Palestinian hostages

"Should the world feel the pain of this war? Why should the pain only be felt by the Iranians? Why should this pain only be felt by the Lebanese? This is a war that has come to be because the world has let the Americans carry out their empire. The world has not punished the American empire or done anything to resist the American empire for its previous wars. What did the Americans pay for the Iraq war? What did the Americans pay for the Afghan war? What did the Americans pay for the Syrian war, for the Libyan war, for the genocide in Yemen, for the genocide in Gaza? So at some point, shouldn't there be a cost borne by the world for acquiescing to the Americans?"

As millions of Cubans and activists from across the world celebrated May Day, Trump enforced new economic sanctions on the island and threatened “We will be taking over (Cuba) almost immediately.” VPol contributor Carrie Zaremba got reactions on the ground to Trump’s latest threats during the International Workers’ Day celebrations. ￭ "On the way back from Iran, we'll have one of our big, maybe the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier, the biggest in the world, we'll have that come in, stop about 100 yards offshore” Cuba, Trump threatened during an event in Florida on Friday, repeatedly saying that Cuba is "next" after war against Iran and that the island will fail "soon."

My latest report about the situation from Tyre city, South Lebanon. People have to deal with daily drone strikes, artillery shelling and war planes hovering the skies all day long, only because Israelis decided that terrorizing the people is the only solution to impose their hegemony on Lebanon and make the people accept dismantling their heroic resistance.

This video shared recently by Hezbollah shows how relaxed the operator is while choosing the target and monitoring the scene for a second attack

My new backup account: @Yadeghaar A backup for my backup account lmao.

“We need to create sober, patient people, who do not despair in the face of the worst horror and who do not get excited about every little thing. Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.” - Antonio Gramsci

Imam Farhan Hassan al-Mansour was assassinated after he led Friday prayers at the Sayyeda Zainab Shrine in Damascus, Syria. After Takfiri militants threw a hand grenade in his car after he left the mosque, he remained alive but passed away later from his critical wounds. ￭ Another Shia cleric was assassinated on July 10, 2025, and there have been dozens of deadly attacks on the Shia community in Syria since the HTS regime took power, especially around the Sayyeda Zainab Shrine. In late 2025, a suicide bombing targeting the Imam Ali bin Abi Talib Mosque in Homs during Friday prayers killed at least 8. ￭ While the HTS regime's Ministry of Religious Endowments officially condemned the attack, the HTS regime has enabled sectarian attacks and kidnappings across Syria, especially targeting the Shia, Alawite, and Christian communities. In 2025 there was also a suicide bombing in the St. Elias Church in Damascus killing at least 25.

For the first time ever, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) has invoked its "blocking statute," prohibiting all domestic entities from recognizing, enforcing, or complying with US sanctions imposed on 5 Chinese petrochemical companies for their alleged involvement in the Iranian oil trade. ￭ The "blocking statute," a legal mechanism designed to neutralise the extraterritorial reach of foreign laws, was passed in 2021 but never invoked until now. ￭ China's MOFCOM said the US sanctions violate “international law and the basic norms of international relations,” and that the decision to invoke the "blocking statute" was made after conducting a comprehensive assessment and confirming that the US sanctions constitute improper extraterritorial application.

hezbollah is the only party that advocated consistently for a delinking from the capitalist parasitic deindustrialized order in the post-war Lebanese economy & that built the infrastructure & advocates for a return to industry & agriculture

El presidente de EE.UU eleva sus amenazas de agresión militar contra #Cuba a una escala peligrosa y sin precedentes. La comunidad internacional ha de tomar nota y, junto al pueblo de EE.UU, determinar si se permitirá un acto criminal tan drástico para satisfacer los intereses de un grupo pequeño pero adinerado e influyente, con ansias de revancha y dominación. Ningún agresor, por poderoso que sea, encontrará rendición en Cuba. Tropezará con un pueblo decidido a defender la soberanía y la independencia en cada palmo del territorio nacional. #LaPatriaSeDefiende

Can New Yorkers guess the price of a gallon of gas in Iran? VPol contributor and independent journalist Jennifer Koonings (@_jenkings) took to the streets of the Bronx to see how New Yorkers feel about paying higher gas prices due to the US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran. Here’s what they had to say.

This entire family was massacred in Habboush, near Nabatiyeh in southern Lebanon "israel" is murdering and bombing the south more during the so-called "ceasefire" than before it

The Israeli enemy today destroyed the 100 years old historic religious community center in my village, Dweir. Sayed Moussa AlSader, Sheikh Ragheb Hareb, Sayed Abbas AlMoussawi and many other historic leaders of Lebanon and Lebanese resistance gave speeches in it. The collective memories of all the people for last century were erased. Excuse me for not being active online since yesterday, much is happening, and we can barely process the amount of terror against our people. But nothing will make us surrender. Glory to the martyrs, and to our heroic resistance.

There should also be a nuclear bomb underneath every school to detonate in case the drones can’t catch the school shooter

Israel killed Zainab today in Toul, South Lebanon.

Millions in Cuba March this morning against the criminal U.S. Blockade on May Day, and at the same time, Trump signs a sweeping new escalation of deadly sanctions against them.

🇨🇺 Trump signs executive order dramatically escalating "sanctions" on Cuba, targeting energy, finance, and security sectors President Trump signed an executive order Friday, marking one of the most sweeping expansions of US economic pressure on Cuba in decades, blocking the US assets of foreign individuals and entities operating in Cuba's energy, defense, financial services, metals, mining, and security sectors, as well as anyone acting on behalf of the Cuban government. The order also authorizes sanctions on foreign financial institutions that conduct significant transactions with designated Cuban entities, potentially cutting them off from US correspondent banking. This move could further isolate Cuba from the international financial system, limit foreign investment, and exacerbate the island's already severely restricted access to medicine, food imports, and basic goods. The order builds on Trump's January declaration of a national emergency over Cuba — the same legal basis used to justify the ongoing fuel blockade. Researchers at the Center for Economic and Policy Research found that US unilateral coercive measures had driven Cuba's infant mortality rate to its highest level in decades, rising 148% since 2018.

This time Hezbollah somehow managed to film the aftermath of the FPV drone strike One single drone took out the Merkava
