Gnarled old Middle East hand. I may retweet stuff I find notable but may not agree with.

#Iran's Islamic regime seems to have crushed its latest and greatest challenge - for the moment. The story is far from over. An execution stayed: Why the Islamic Republic might cling to power in Iran codastory.com/polarization/a… @CodaStory

We have lost a great writer on the Middle East, a great friend, an exemplar of modesty in a profession plagued by ego. His Gun and the Olive Branch remains a classic. David Hirst, 1936-2025. theguardian.com/world/2025/sep…

PM of #Israel @IsraeliPM The weak crumble, are slaughtered and are erased from history while the strong, for good or for ill, survive. The strong are respected, and alliances are made with the strong, and in the end peace is made with the strong. 8:05 PM · Aug 29, 2018

Hello @MuirJim wonder if you can follow me at all. It’s in relation to a medical story in Lebanon you covered in the 1980s. Super keen to DM. Very best wishes Saleyha

In the first episode of Table for Two, I sat down with legendary BBC correspondent Jim Muir. From Lebanon’s civil war to the Kurdish uprising, Baghdad post-2003, and encounters with Talabani, Barzani, Nasrallah & more. 50 years of frontline journalism. Coming soon @964English @964arabic @964kurdi #TableForTwo

Omg @bbc5live @NickyAACampbell show is currently recruiting for Hamas. @MuirJim says “people in Gaza won’t sit around growing vegetables, they’ll join Hamas”. All blame is on @netanyahu Maybe Israel should have just turned the other cheek after the October 7th massacre of Jews…

#Israel apparently stealing ancient olive trees from #south_Lebanon. Really? Is that in the ceasefire agreement?

یک قدم برای نجات زندگی یک انسان ساکنان غزه به اندازه یک اقیانوس بیکران نیازمند کمک هستند. هر کمکی که به‌ PGDP داده شود مستقیما به ساکنان غزه میرسد. @MuirJim 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

One life at a time...There's a daunting ocean of need in #Gaza, but anything you can spare to give to PGDP will go direct to individuals in need on the ground. Every penny. donkeysaddle.org/palestine-gras…

@MuirJim How are you doing Jim? My heart bleeds for all those in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Lebanon, Syria and Yemen suffering from Israeli bombing.

This is what remains of the South Beirut apartment of the woman who helped raise me. She & her family were never affilaited with Hezbollah. In fact, they were once openly opposed. She now has no where to go. Real lives. Real people. Real heartbreak ❤️‍🩹
