I was on a train in Tokyo. We stopped between stations. Announcement in Japanese, then in English: "We apologize for the delay. We will resume shortly." The delay was maybe 3 minutes. Not a big deal. When the train started moving again, another announcement: "We sincerely apologize for the delay. We were stopped for 3 minutes and 20 seconds. This is unacceptable. Thank you for your patience." Three minutes and twenty seconds. They measured it exactly. And called it unacceptable. When I got off at my stop, there were station staff on the platform bowing and handing out delay certificates. I took one out of curiosity. It was an official document stating that the train had been delayed by 3 minutes and 20 seconds, signed and stamped. The staff member said in English "for your employer. So they know the delay was not your fault." I said I'm a tourist, I don't need it. He looked confused. "But the delay affected you. You deserve an apology." Three minutes. They were treating a three-minute delay like a major incident. Later I mentioned this to a Japanese friend. They said "oh yes, delay certificates are normal. Trains are supposed to be exactly on time. If they are late, they must apologize." I said three minutes isn't late, it's nothing. My friend said "in Japan, three minutes is late. On time means on time. Not approximately on time." They said the train company probably investigated why there was a 3-minute delay. "They will find the cause and fix it so it doesn't happen again." I kept the certificate. It's framed in my apartment now. A reminder that somewhere in the world, people care about three minutes. © 6IX. @BSAT_Properties

Congratulations to you. Children are innocent and lovable. Those 168 children that your boss killed in the school in Minab, and you justified, were also children. When you kiss your baby, think of the mothers of those children.

It's living hell for women in this country. What's disturbing to me is earlier men wouldn't dream of raising their hand on woman surrounded by public like this. How easily this creep hit her as first reaction. He did bec of the spineless, cowards standing by. Lock up violent men

In Iran, rapists and pedophiles are publicly executed. In America, they become president and rule the country.

Reports on the US–Iran talks suggest a stark contrast in preparation,raising questions about which side is genuinely intent on reaching a resolution. The US delegation arrived only on the 11th in a rush. After landing, Vance is said to have taken a four-hour rest to recover from jet lag. By the time he reached the negotiating room, the Iranian team had already outlined the main points for the opening round of discussions. Sources claim the US had not even finalized the agenda with the Pakistani side beforehand and was instead working off a framework put forward by Iran. This last-minute approach sits uneasily alongside the fact that the US delegation numbered around 300 people. The US side reportedly brought only a few pages of broad, principle-based proposals, while the Iranian delegation arrived with extensive documentation and draft agreements. Their materials included over 120 pages of technical specifications on nuclear facility safety alone, suggesting a far higher level of preparation and a clearer commitment to producing concrete outcomes.

There will never be peace in the world while Israel exists.

Israel 🇮🇱 gives it’s response to a ‘ceasefire’: •50 🇮🇱 jets dropped 160 bombs in 1 min •100 Lebanon 🇱🇧 sites bombed in 10 mins •multiple Lebanon 🇱🇧residential locations •300 plus people murdered Israel 🇮🇱 is a pariah state Expel 🇮🇱 from the UN now.

The Iran–U.S. Ceasefire terms are clear and explicit: the U.S. must choose—ceasefire or continued war via Israel. It cannot have both. The world sees the massacres in Lebanon. The ball is in the U.S. court, and the world is watching whether it will act on its commitments.

This is Iran's 10 point plan - which Trump has accepted as "a workable basis on which to negotiate." Have no doubt: This is the biggest strategic defeat suffered by the US since its emergence as a superpower.

He had Cancer... When Hossein Salami's term as the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps came to an end, he wrote a letter to Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in which he said: "Please give me a little time; maybe I will achieve martyrdom. I have cancer, and if I resign, I will die in bed. Would you be happy for me to die like this?" The Supreme Leader agreed to make an exception for him and allowed him to continue commanding the Corps, as a result of which he became the first "martyr" of the 12-day war.

I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.

Both Indian and Israeli news have a countdown clock to Trump's deadline against Iran. That's how these guys normalise mass killings as if it's a celebration. @aroonpurie

I'm officially calling for the Cabinet to remove Trump from office under the 25th Amendment. If they can't, Congress must return from recess today and begin impeachment proceedings. Read my full statement below. quigley.house.gov/media-center/p…

Bro 😭 Iranians 🇮🇷 are literally vibing in the nuclear power plant city of Bushehr which Donald Trump has threatened to blow up. These people fear absolutely nothing 👏

This night will remain etched in the world's memory for centuries.

Israeli TV has a COUNTDOWN for Trump's genocide tonight. These people are animals. Pray for Iran.

After bombing a school and massacring young girls, the war criminal in the White House is threatening genocide. It's time to invoke the 25th Amendment. This maniac should be removed from office.

Dr. Rahimi, the engineer responsible for building the Karaj Bridge (which would have been the largest bridge in the Middle East) that America bombed while it was in its final stages, tells the Iranians: If God extends my life, I will certainly rebuild this bridge, and I promise you that you will cross it.

Female literacy in Iran was ~35–40% before the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Today it’s ~85% overall, with ~99% among young women. Your sign of progress is for women to be on OnlyFans

Iran is run by PhDs, Scientists, Medical Doctors, Engineers, Philosophers - people - seeking to advance Life. The US regime is run my Zionists, Pedophiles, PR agents, Spin Doctors, Lawyers, Real Estate Agents, News Reporters - idiots - raping & pillaging, delivering Death.
