No, I don’t want you to lie Owen @owenjonesjourno. But I am genuinely surprised that you are so ignorant: - The term “government” does not mean state leaders are democratically elected. - “Government” is used by the MSM is to flag loyalty to US-led imperialism. - “Regime” is consistently used to delegitimise and attack states opposed to US-led imperialism. - All senior Iranian leaders, including the top leader, are elected under a constitution that was voted for by the vast majority of the Iranian people after the revolution, in which the Islamic line won the support of the vast majority. - I am a secular person, but I fully respect the will of the overwhelmingly Muslim Iranian people. - The US-Israeli war of aggression has fully shown that the vast majority of the Iranian people cherish their independent state and support their government. Tens of millions of people are ready to pay the ultimate price defending their dignity and independence. - You clearly don’t respect the Iranian people’s choices. Is it Islamophobia? Or Western imperialist superiority syndrome? Or liberal virtue signalling?

En mensaje transmitido en la "Conferencia Internacional sobre acción humanitaria, los recursos y la responsabilidad en el contexto de las sanciones unilaterales", que se desarrolla en la sede de la ONU, en Ginebra, rechacé el #bloqueo económico, comercial y financiero de Estados Unidos contra #Cuba, reforzado a niveles sin precedentes con el cerco energético. Denuncié la asfixia económica y el castigo colectivo a que se somete de manera deliberada al pueblo cubano, en violación flagrante y sistemática de sus derechos humanos. youtu.be/mRJ8rITWxPA?si…

Not defending Ukraine. Defending US interests.

🇨🇺lCuba no representa una amenaza para los Estados Unidos –y mucho menos una amenaza “inusual y extraordinaria” como se ha alegado como pretexto para una orden ejecutiva. Cuba lo ha demostrado a lo largo de su historia en el contexto de EE.UU y del mundo. #CubaEstáFirme #FARCuba

🚨 REPORTER: Would you step down if the US demanded it to “save Cuba”? CUBAN PRESIDENT 🇨🇺: Ever asked this to any other leader? REPORTER: I ask tough questions to all PRESIDENT: I step down only if Cuban people say so. Not US. Sovereignty non-negotiable US DEMANDS… REJECTED 💥

This is Aita al-Shaab in South Lebanon. An ancient village that stood for over 2,000 years. Israel wiped it off the map. A war crime. A crime against history.

Maria, if you truly care about the Cuban people, how can you defend Marco Rubio’s policy of deliberately creating misery? I was taken aback to hear you say that the suffering of Cuban mothers and children is “a price worth paying” for regime change. I suggest you start talking to hungry mothers and children on the island, instead of wealthy Cubans in Miami, to see if their suffering is truly a “price worth paying.” You are complicit in attacking a nation that has sent some 600,000 health workers overseas to save lives—a nation that, until Donald Trump’s tightening of the blockade, had lower infant mortality and higher life expectancy than the state of Florida. But with oil imports cut off, hospitals are struggling—and more babies are dying. On our recent trip, we met heroic doctors hand-pumping ventilators to keep newborns alive during power outages. The New York Times has reported that rapidly deteriorating conditions in Cuba’s hospitals are leading to deaths that would otherwise be preventable. I invite you to join us on our next humanitarian mission bringing food and medicine to Cuba. Maybe seeing the suffering firsthand will soften your heart—and make you realize that hurting 10 million Cubans to score political points is not a “price worth paying.”

This is why the US backed a coup against Pakistan's independent Prime Minister Imran Khan and helped put in power Shehbaz Sharif, a corrupt US puppet from an oligarchic dynasty. Sharif is such a shameless puppet that the US writes his public statements. nytimes.com/2026/04/08/wor…

The Strait of Hormuz, Gate to the Great Sea: The Fifteenth Newsletter (2026) from @tri_continental. We begin with Yaqut al-Hamawi’s 13th century description of the Strait into the ‘Sea of Persia’ and then go into the suffering occasioned by the poorer nations thanks to the Israeli-US war on Iran, and what should be done immediately even within the constraints of the IMF suffocations to alleviate the burdens of fuel and food inflation. The newsletter ends with a masterful poem by the painter and poet Sohrab Sepehri (1928–1980).

Israel killed this little Palestinian girl in Gaza today. They shot her while she was sitting in class inside a tent in Beit Lahia. She was only 9 years old. No headlines. No outrage. No condemnation. Not a peep from the “international community.”
