Iran is now fighting for both Palestine and Lebanon Against Israel What a fearless and resolute nation.
Iran used their leverage to stop the war in Lebanon Lebanons president says no, continue to kill us. Cool.
Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi says missile and drone attacks, coordinated with the “axis of resistance”, could intensify if US-Israeli attacks continue. He said Yemen blocked US and Israeli use of the Red Sea for hostile miliatry action against Iran.
Editor's Notes: Qatar now funds the most-watched English-language news channel covering the Middle East. And it got there because the West stopped showing up. jpost.com/opinion/articl…


Ceasefire or not, Washington will push Baghdad to disarm militias. In my latest for @ForeignPolicy, I argue this means colliding w/ tribal networks, and potentially igniting civil conflict. Baghdad made promises to USG but those were never realistic. foreignpolicy.com/2026/04/08/ira…

I think there is a very good chance Araghchi and Ghalibaf will be assassinated in Islamabad
Just IN: Pakistani fighter jets spotted over Bandar Abbas, Iran, to escort the Iranian delegation to Pakistan safely. — Pakistan Air Force has established a "protective shield" across Iran and Persian Gulf supported by fighter jets & AWACS to protect Iranian delegation from any misadventure by Israel. — The Iranian delegation, likely led by speaker of Iran's parliament, will arrive in Islamabad tonight for talks with US.

There are more than 20 million Basij members in Iran. 20 million. This is what genocidal intent looks like.
