BREAKING:
Pope Leo XIV deems the Iran War unjust.
Says it isn't “solving anything,” only spreading more hate.
He then goes on to urge Americans to call Congress and press lawmakers to end the war and work for peace.

@MikeSeekTruth @tparsi There's no credible source for that number. Failing to admit that undermines whatever the rest of your message may be.

Why is regime change so hard for so many to accept when reality and logic show it is the only responsible option to eliminate Tehran’s threat? If the regime escapes again, and is able to rebuild, that would be a U.S. failure.

@marklevinshow Just sick. The world doesn't need any more of your destabilization shit. It ends up destroying the countries you meddle in. But, hey, I guess that's your objective...

ARM THE IRANIAN PEOPLE ...
IMHO, the people of Iran need to be armed. Even if there are divisions among various opposition groups. We cannot defeat the regime, which has demonstrated time and again it must be defeated, without the people within Iran having a fighting chance to destroy the regime from within. I am not sure what the hesitancy is. If arms were stolen, by whom and for what? Regardless, it is the most direct way to take down the regime. As I've pointed out before, President Reagan used this as part of his doctrine against the Soviet Union -- in Afghanistan, Angola, Nicaragua, etc.

@TopButtonTrades @DropSiteNews The US admitted through Scott Bessent that they tried to engineer a currency collapse in Iran. This helped trigger (understandable) protests, which the US/Israel hijacked, attempting to piggy back regime change.

@DropSiteNews There’s no defending Israel’s actions but there is good reason ppl were pissed off and pretending otherwise is farce.

In a heated Al Jazeera Arabic panel, Iranian academic Hassan Ahmadian pushed back sharply when an American guest cited 40,000 deaths during the January riots and protests in Iran.
Ahmadian said the ever-increasing figure serves only to “whitewash Israel’s image” in the region after it killed over 80,000 in Gaza — pointing to Iran’s official toll of 3,117 killed, and noting that it included hundreds of police and security personnel killed by actors Iran’s government has said were armed and supported by US and Israel.
The new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, in a statement marking the holiday of Nowruz, designated the “January Coup” the second of three wars Iran faced in a year — along with the 12-day war in June 2025, and the attacks that began on February 28. He described it as a U.S. and Israeli-backed attempt to exploit economic hardship and use armed actors to destabilize the Islamic Republic.
Trump himself subsequently confirmed the U.S. had tried to arm Iranian protesters, telling reporters: “We sent guns, a lot of guns, they were supposed to go to the people so they could fight back.”

🇮🇷 Iran’s Supreme Leader says country endured “three wars,” calls for unity and economic shift In a written message read on state television for the Persian New Year (Nowruz) today, March 20, 2026, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said Iran’s adversaries have miscalculated and failed to achieve their objectives, while praising the steadfastness of the Iranian people. He designated the new year as the “year of a resistance economy under national unity and national security.”  The message, issued via Telegram and read by a presenter as Khamenei remains out of public view, describes the past year as one in which Iran faced three distinct phases of war, while presenting public unity as central to resisting external aggression.  Key points from the statement: 🔸 “Three wars” framing: He described the past year as consisting of three phases: a June conflict with Israel and U.S. backing, a “January coup” attempt tied to unrest and proxy activity, and an ongoing war marked by assassinations of senior leadership. 🔸 “Failed” enemy expectations: He said the U.S. and Israel wrongly believed the killing of senior leaders, including his father Ali Khamenei, would trigger fear or destabilization. 🔸 Public and leadership mobilization: He praised both citizens and officials, including the president and senior figures, for appearing publicly and participating alongside the population, pointing to rallies and Quds Day as evidence of cohesion. 🔸 Economy as next front: Declaring the year’s slogan, he framed economic stability, infrastructure, and living conditions as a central front, saying officials are preparing an “expert” plan to address structural issues. 🔸 Direct engagement with public concerns: He said he has at times traveled anonymously, including by taxi, to hear complaints firsthand about economic and governance issues. 🔸 Media warning and unity push: He cautioned domestic media against emphasizing internal weaknesses, arguing it could aid hostile psychological operations, and called for stronger cohesion between the public and governing institutions. 🔸 Regional messaging: He denied Iran or its allies carried out recent attacks in Turkey and Oman, describing them as “false flag” operations. The address also marks the first Nowruz following the killing of Iran’s top leadership, combining mourning with calls to maintain daily life, while reinforcing a message of endurance and continued confrontation with Israel and the United States.

Der Staat vergisst nie – außer seine eigenen Fehler
ostdeutscheallgemeine.com/article/impfpf…
Ein Bundeswehrsoldat aus Beeskow, 37, IT-Spezialist, zweimal im Irak eingesetzt, weigerte sich 2021/22, sich gegen Covid impfen zu lassen. Dafür wurde er angeklagt – und im Juli 2023 vom Amtsgericht Fürstenwalde freigesprochen. Sogar der Staatsanwalt im Verfahren hatte auf Freispruch plädiert. Trotzdem legte eine Sonderdezernentin für „Corona-Fälle" Berufung ein. Offenbar braucht jede Bürokratie ihre Spezialisten, die nicht aufhören können.
Am Donnerstag muss Stefan B. also erneut vor Gericht – diesmal am Landgericht Frankfurt (Oder). Die Vorwürfe: Er hat zweimal „Nein" gesagt. Er war bereits genesen, hatte Bedenken wegen der Schnellzulassung und versuchte sogar, sich freiwillig entlassen zu lassen. Die Bundeswehr lehnte ab – man wollte ihn offenbar weder impffrei behalten noch gehen lassen.
Es ist absurd: Die Impfpflicht für Soldaten wurde 2024 selbst wieder kassiert. Der Staat verfolgt also einen Mann strafrechtlich für die Verweigerung einer Maßnahme, die er inzwischen selbst für überflüssig hält. Insgesamt wurden 131 Disziplinarverfahren gegen impfverweigernde Soldaten eingeleitet. Stefan B. ist kein Impfgegner – er ist ein Soldat, der „Nein" sagte und dem der Apparat nun zeigt, dass er das nicht verzeiht. Selbst wenn er sich hinterher selbst korrigiert.

A lot of people in the anti-war majority part of the Iranian diaspora are closely monitoring whether Iranian monarchists who supported the war are waking up from their delusion that Israel would bomb Iran into liberation.
Given the clear objective of destroying Iran as a state for decades to come, many are hoping that Iranian Monarchists will realize their mistake and turn against the war.
Those hopes may need to be tempered. The Mujahedin-e Khalq terror organization went from being a relatively popular anti-Shah opposition group to being detested after siding with Saddam Hussein's invasion of Iran in 1980.
But their failing bet on Saddam did not prompt them to reassess, regret, or apologize for their treason.
Instead, every time they failed, their reaction was to dig deeper and double down on their radical dependence on a foreign power, eventually turning themselves into nothing more than a tool of Iran's geopolitical rivals.
I fear the Monarchists may go down the same path.
Instead of recognizing the pure idiocy of pushing for their ancestral home to be bombed while they were dancing on the streets of LA and London, they will blame everyone else but themselves.
Trump bombed too little, they'll argue. Or perhaps he bombed too much. Israel and the US didn't invade - landtroops were needed, but they simply didn't have it in them. Or perhaps they failed because they didn't arm Kurdish or other ethnic militias. Some of them have argued that weapons should have been sent to Iranian women inside Iran, for them to take up an armed struggle (!!) Perhaps they will even have the audacity to blame the Iranian people for not having revolted during the bombardment.
I fear they will blame everyone but themselves while managing their cognitive dissonance by adopting increasingly radical postures.
Anything to protect themselves from the painful truth that they have betrayed two peoples: The blood of thousands of people in Iran is on their hands for having pushed for this disastrous war. And they have also betrayed the US by treating US servicemen and women as their personal mercenaries to be deployed to settle their personal scores.

@JulietMosesNZ @kaiviti_cam You are writing about inconsistencies and double standards? If there's one country that benefits more than all others on that front, it's Israel. It gets away with literal murder.

I see NZ has jumped on the bandwagon opposing the Israeli law (fine, I too oppose it) with our FM noting that “New Zealand has for decades been opposed to the death penalty in all circumstances.” Ok. So where are all the other condemnations?
In addition to those examples below, we could also mention Yemen, Iran, and Saudi Arabia’s death penalty for homosexuality. That seems kinda discriminatory and like something “progressives” like Chloe Swarbrick who is apoplectic about this Israeli law should also care about.
There are also death penalties for adultery in Afghanistan, for being a dissident in Iran etc.
So yes two things are true. The new law in Israel is bad (I hope that the Supreme Court will strike it down), and the selective outrage that sees a hyperfocus on Israel and a blindspot towards other states is also bad, albeit an entirely predictable example of moral relativism and the bigotry of low expectations and probably a lot else besides.
Ben Green@BenGreenJeru
Brendan O’Neill absolutely nails it again. 🎯🎯🎯 Not mentioned and totally relevant too: Palestinian courts can impose death sentences for selling land to Israelis.

@Kulambq @manicinventor23 It really is dumbfounding.
I used to really like Sam Harris as well, and still do on some issues—mainly his staunch and clear-sighted opposition to Trump and the MAGA-movement. However, I cannot fathom his surprisingly simplistic and shallow view of the current strikes on Iran.
English
Why do people even listen to 'edgy' figures like Douglas Murray, Sam Harris, Gad Saad, Nick Fuentes, Candace Owens, Ben Shapiro and the rest of that crowd? There is a vast world of philosophy and literature out there that exists well beyond the facile left/right paradigm, a framework that mostly serves to dull thought and poison the mind.
Why not turn to thinkers like Edmund Husserl, Franz Brentano, Isaiah Berlin, Baruch Spinoza, or Gershom Scholem? These were serious philosophers whose work actually rewards attention and reflection. They will teach you how to ask questions. They may not give you the answers you seek immediately - or perhaps ever - but they will guide you in the difficult task not only of thinking critically, but of learning how to begin thinking in the first place.

Sorry Frau Guerot,
Jetzt haben Sie weitgehend meine Sympathie verloren. Völkerrecht sollte für die betroffenen Völker gelten und nicht für ihre Unterdrücker. Sie stellen sich auf die Seite von Massenmördern, Vergewaltiger und Filterknechten. Das iranische Volk jubelt bei jedem Bombeneinschlag und Sie faseln von Völkerrecht. In diesem Fall... meine Verachtung für Ihre Menschenfreundlichkeit.

Wie gut, dass in anderen europäischen Ländern - hier Spanien- die Medien noch halbwegs funktionieren und das Bekenntnis zum Völkerrecht noch intakt ist, im Gegensatz zu der völlig ideologisierten Berichterstattung in Deutschland über den Iran/ Trump/ Israel, die hier sakrosankt sind.

@BarronTNews_ But the US surrounds Iran, initiates the wars, and attack hospitals and girls' schools. Rubio and co are not exactly the good guys in this.

🚨 JUST IN: Marco Rubio just went off for nearly 12 straight minutes dismantling the fake news narrative around President Trump’s strikes on the Iranian regime. Calm. Detailed. In command of every fact. He didn’t dodge a single question. You can tell he lives this stuff. He’s built for moments like this. Right now he looks exactly like what a Secretary of State should look like. 🇺🇸🔥
