Energy industry insider in Iran tells me the following, and it is STUNNING:
Before the war, Iran produced just shy of 1.1mn barrels of oil per day, and sold it at $65 per barrel minus $18 discount (i.e. $47)
Today, it produces 1.5mn barrels a day, and sells it at $110 with only $2-4 discount.
And this does not include petrochemical sales that not only have increased, but are now being sold to a larger set of customers compared to before the war.
Moreover, Iran is receiving payments through new mechanisms that bypass the UAE, which were set up after the June war.
In essence, and this is really important to understand, Trump and Israel's war has ended up delivering Iran de facto sanctions relief.
This means that Iran is all the less incentivized to end the war, unless the agreement provides Iran with formal sanctions relief.

In India, the very fact that you’re born a Muslim, seems to be a crime. We’ve become an apartheid state. Just utterly despicable.

I am certain you haven’t watched this movie or likely any meaningful film in your life otherwise, you would know it wasn't about Kashmir. It follows a group of tourists traveling from an undisclosed location in North Bengal to Siliguri. When a communal flare-up erupts and a mob attacks their stranded bus, a Jewish tourist exposes an elderly Muslim couple to the crowd.
The heart of the story, however, is how an orthodox Tamil Brahmin woman saves a Muslim man during such a volatile time. It explores how individuals can value humanity above petty religious brutality. Perhaps people like you will never understand that, certainly not in the current climate.

If you want to talk about “Propaganda”.l then nothing tops “Mr & Mrs Iyer”. On a bus journey in Kashmir, a Tamil Brahmin married woman saves a Muslim man's life from the right wing rioters. She fell in love with Muslim guy while saving his life. That film portrays Hindus as the aggressors in Kashmir, a narrative that contradicts the historical reality of the massacres of Kashmiri Pandits by Kashmiri Muslims. Although the film received several National Awards, apologists for Islamists and Pakistan are now labeling the movie Dhurandhar as propaganda

Now that Israel is being seriously pounded, Netanyahu is calling on other countries to join the war. There is no bottom to the depraved sense of entitlement Israelis have. There is always someone who will die in our stead. Our own deaths are meaningless. Murderous solipsism.

You can find more dissident voices who reject communalism in Gujarat/North Indian states than in Assam, the state which most resembles a fascist society. Even their 'liberal' voices launder the framework of ethnic chauvinism behind “our unique history or politics”. Its 2026, stop
Mad Milton@PhilipPanass
Yes, Evita, your boss chose to join BJP, whose incumbent CM Himanta Biswa Sarma has laid out elaborate plans to purge all Muslims from the state, because "politically uninformed North Indians [in INC]" were running a "complicated state like Assam." 🤡

This is how a leader of a Left Party should be speaking. Expressing our anger. Bravo Jean-Luc.

🇫🇷 "Iran is exercising its legitimate right to defend its sovereignty, its people, and its resources, after being subjected to blatant aggression". A striking statement from France’s most popular politician and Macron’s potential successor, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, leader of the LFI party.

Kinda awkward when you start a war to destroy nukes that the other side doesn't have and instead they destroy the nukes that you do have 👀

As Tel Aviv looks evermore like Gaza, does anyone in Israel pause in introspection? Regret the glee they felt at the suffering of other people? Their full throated cries for more and more murder? Their dismissal of the women and children at their mercy as human animals? Anyone?

Pray that Israel gets treated the way that it treated people in Gaza.

Iran is aiming its missiles at civilians, and the world stays silent, normalizing it. Pray for Israel. We will prevail. God bless America. God bless Israel.

Nobody. Not Nasser not Saddam, nobody, has ever paid back Israel’s crimes like Iran is doing every day and every night. No King no Amir. Nobody.

American conservative commentator Tucker Carlson is one of the most consequential political figures in today’s United States.
Millions tune into his monologues, interviews and shows across platforms and formats at a scale rarely seen in the western public sphere.

The Economist is that imperialist rag which, since its inception, have stood on the wrong side of history: 1. Supported English imperialism in the mid-19th century, 2. Supported Bush's disastrous Iraq war, 3. It even treated the women's suffrage movement as 'premature.'

The biggest question India should be asking right now is this: we condemned South Africa’s apartheid, we stood up for Civil Rights and Martin Luther King. So why are we silent on Israel’s apartheid against Palestinians? What happened to our spine?

Aditya Dhar — or Christopher Nolan for the Indian right wing, I should say dolt wing — is being called out globally now, with IGN calling Dhurandhar ‘naked piece of propaganda.’ Indian audience is truly utterly stupid, as Satyajit Ray once claimed.
