The threshold has already been crossed for several vectors — the damage is locked in regardless of what comes next. Ras Laffan: confirmed missile strikes, $100B+ facility, 30 years to build, irreplaceable. Iraqi reservoir damage compounds with every week of shut-in — some of that capacity never returns. The spring planting window is closing now; 2026 crop yields are being written down daily. A ceasefire stops the disruption. It doesn't reverse the damage. Those are two separate clocks and the market is only pricing the first one.
In the days before the Persian new year festival of Nowruz, Iranians would usually be excitedly preparing. But this year's Nowruz will be the first many in the country have experienced at war. Amid the internet blackout, I spoke with some inside Iran. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
Today, in Iran, in the middle of a war, the regime executed a 19-year-old national wrestling champion for the crime of joining January protests. 💔 After signaling to the world, including President @realDonaldTrump, that they would halt executions of protesters, the regime has done the exact opposite. Three young protesters, Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, and Saeed Davoudi, were hanged in Qom after a sham trial. Reports indicate torture. Forced confessions. No access to chosen lawyers. Closed-door proceedings. No right to appeal. I call on @GlobalAthleteHQ to stand with Iranian athletes who are being silenced, imprisoned, and executed simply for raising their voices. This is not just about sports. This is about human dignity.
Dozens of people arrested in Iran by agents of Ministry of Intelligence & IRGC intelligence for having access to internet via Starlink amidst an unprecedented digital blackout Today three protesters were executed and the regime will execute more in the coming days
Iran reports the execution of 19-year-old wrestler Saleh Mohammadi, who was previously convicted in connection with protests.
When a school in Minab was hit, a lot of Western commentators rushed to blame ‘the U.S. and Israel’ before the facts were even clear, then quietly moved on as evidence emerged that the picture was far more complicated. Now Iran’s own missiles and bomblets are killing Palestinian women in the West Bank, and the same people suddenly have nothing to say. Where are the slideshows for those women or for the young Iranian men the regime just executed after sham trials for protesting peacefully? Yes! Kurosh Keivani , Saleh Mohammadi, Mehdi Ghasemi, Mohsen Azimnia and Danial Keramati were JUST executed. Why are they so loud when they can pin every horror on @potus and Israel and so silent when it’s the IRGC and Tehran’s war machine doing the killing?” Asking for a friend. #iran
PAUL TWEED - APOLOGY In my book, “Subversion: The Strategic Weaponization of Narratives”, I made a number of false, unfair and defamatory allegations and inferences relating to the work of the international media lawyer, Paul Tweed. I regret that Mr Tweed was collateral damage in my critical agenda relating to the UAE. I unreservedly retract these totally unfounded allegations and sincerely apologise to Mr Tweed for questioning his impartiality and integrity and for the untrue allegations, which I never should have made or published in the first place. I have also deleted a tweet referring to Mr Tweed’s work, which the Court has found to be defamatory. In addition to the other terms of settlement, as a mark of my regret and at Mr Tweed’s request, I am making a charitable donation to Reporters Without Borders (RSF).
