Iran has faced nearly five decades of global sanctions, yet it is still standing strong.
The world is crying after just 20 days of Iranian sanctions.

OMG this is insane! A former CIA operative just admitted on camera that the US intentionally armed and relied on Al-Qaeda and ISIS in Syria just to serve Israel's geopolitical interests against Iran. They literally created the ISIS caliphate!

Why talk about it publicly? You have a vindictive, bullying superpower and your political instinct is to publicly reveal that you rejected them?
Sheer idiocy

Before modern multinational banks reached Southeast Asia, merchants from 75 villages in Tamil Nadu had already built a transnational financial system.
They financed rice in Burma, rubber in Malaya, retail in Singapore, plantations in Ceylon — connected not by contracts but by kinship and reputation.
This is the story of the Chettiars.🧵

⚡️🚨BREAKING NEWS: A new international group called "Earthquake Faction" burns an Israeli weapons factory in the Czech Republic :
The Earthquake Faction is launched.
On 20th March 2026, the Earthquake Faction struck the epicenter of the Israeli weapons industry in Europe. In Pardubice, Czech Republic, Elbit Systems' "Centre of Excellence" was newly built in collaboration with LPP, to service the global expansion of Israel's biggest weapons producer.
Whilst the development, production and training center was empty, The Earthquake Faction intervened to destroy its equipment and set the factory ablaze. No one was harmed.
The site is used to develop weaponry used by the Zionist entity to massacre people daily in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and across West Asia.
The Earthquake Faction is an internationalist underground network that targets key sites critical to the Zionist entity. We aim to destroy all limbs of empire from within, by any means effective.

Today I$rael tried to kill me in a targeted airstrike in southern Lebanon as I was reporting on was the targeting of bridges and the forced displacement of 1 million people, an ethnic cleansing operation on a larger scale than the Nakba
I have absolutely no doubt that this was deliberate. Despite claims there were no warnings ahead of the strike and no notifications sent to the Lebanese Army who allowed us to film
As we have seen in Gaza they want to silence journalists who document and report their war crimes
It is the western powers who provide political and military support for I$rael, arming it to the teeth to carry out genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing here in Lebanon. They are not simply complicit, but active participants and should be held accountable for their actions.
But if I$rael thinks today’s strike will silence us and keep us out of the field they are very, very mistaken

🇮🇷🇺🇸 How Iran hit the "unhittable" jet
The F-35 is invisible to radar. It was never invisible to heat.
Iran likely used infrared tracking systems that detect engine exhaust instead of radar signatures.
Because these systems emit no energy, the F-35's warning systems never alerted the pilot he was being targeted.
The suspected weapon: Iran's 358 missile, a hybrid between a loitering drone and a surface-to-air missile that hunts using optical and infrared sensors, bypassing stealth entirely.
Stealth dominates radar.
Physics doesn't care.

🇨🇳🇮🇷 China's military exports just got the worst combat review in history Iran bought Chinese air defense technology expecting a shield. What it got was a screen door. The pattern is devastating. Pakistan's Chinese-made HQ-9B couldn't detect a single Indian strike during Operation Sindur. Venezuela's Chinese radar missed 150 American aircraft flying through its airspace. And now Iran's air defenses, built on the same Chinese foundations, collapsed in hours against the U.S.-Israeli assault. But the hardware is only half the problem. Over 20 senior PLA officers have been arrested for corruption in two years. China hasn't fought a real war since 1979. Their weapons have never been stress-tested because the military selling them has never been stress-tested either. Source: BusinessBasics YT
