#WarOnIran: The young crown prince Reza Pahlavi, whom I had met in Virginia, the exile dreaming of his return, has now been reduced by history to rejoicing at the bombing of his own country, cheered at a conservative political action conference in Texas, the powerful CPAC, as he asked: can you imagine Iran switching from ‘death to America’ to ‘God bless America’? not quite, writes @carlopizzati t.ly/DYvhr

#WarOnIran: Two years before the king in exile was born, in 1958, the late father of my sister-in-law, Ebrahim, left Iran as a young migrant on an arduous train journey across Turkey into Rome where he hopped on a ship to that America which is now bombing his Iran. The Tehran ‘Abe’ described to me 20 years ago is the long-gone Persia of blackand-white photographs with young ladies in mini-skirts. Nothing to do with today’s Iran, writes @carlopizzati t.ly/DYvhr

#WarOnIran: Persia is a civilisation carrying the weight of three thousand years of poetry, architecture, gardens, carpet weaving, mysticism. Here are Hafez and Rumi, the Achaemenid empire, Persepolis, miniature paintings and Chahar Bagh, the garden in four sections, the template of paradise for three religions, writes @carlopizzati t.ly/DYvhr

#WarOnIran: My heart races as I look for tabriz surrounded by volcanic peaks, Tehran’s Alborz mountains and, beyond, the Caspian coast, the Zagros mountains, magic-sounding Isfahan sitting on the Zayandeh river plateau and finally Shiraz, where I look for vineyards, knowing it gave its name to a wine. The names themselves sound like one-word poems. Now they are bombing targets, writes @carlopizzati t.ly/DYvhr

Meloni annuncia Mattei. Macron lo fa. Il cerchiobottismo ha una data di scadenza, by @carlopizzati open.substack.com/pub/carlopizza…

E perché la domanda cui nessuno ha ancora risposto ufficialmente è: Washington voleva lo stretto aperto gratuitamente, o stava discutendo le percentuali della joint venture?

I colloqui di Islamabad sono falliti da poche ore e già si litiga sul controllo dello stretto, almeno a parole. Trump annuncia: la Marina Usa bloccherà "qualsiasi nave che tenti di entrare o uscire dallo Stretto di Hormuz." #hormuz #trumpiran 📷 link carlopizzati.substack.com/p/vance-lascia…

Vance lascia Islamabad a mani vuote. Lo stretto resta chiuso. E qualcuno vuole tenerlo così, by @carlopizzati open.substack.com/pub/carlopizza…
