This afternoon the young man seen running from the vehicle received a call from the Israeli army telling him he could die alone or die with his family in the car. He ran from the vehicle into a field and was struck and killed by an Israeli drone. This is not the first time that the Israeli army has used this tactic. It is pure barbarism. Abject terrorism.

The bad news In JD Vance’s own words, he stated that Iran has not accepted the US/Israel terms for establishing peace. But I’d like to know what kind of negotiation this is, in which terms are simply imposed. Did anyone inform the American delegation that this isn’t a surrender treaty? They seem to be living in a different reality. This is not how you negotiate peace, and this delegation certainly includes many people who know that very well. Here are 10 points explaining why Iran is not in a position to give in: 1. It controls the Strait of Hormuz, and any attempt to take it would be extremely bloody and result in heavy casualties; 2. It can close the other strait using the Houthis; 3. It has maintained a stable daily rate of missile and drone launches for several weeks, demonstrating it has a large arsenal; 4. Its ground forces still have intact equipment and high morale, especially after the failure at Isfahan; 5. No one knows where the enriched uranium is, nor is there any effective way to seize it; 6. It is Iran that is effectively sanctioning America, with fuel prices and inflation already knocking at the door; 7. It is Iran generating pressure on Trump from Gulf countries; 8. It is Iran generating pressure on Trump from its Asian and European allies; 9. Iran is well aware of the shortage of interceptors and is actively exploiting it; 10. Its air defense capabilities are gradually improving through the deployment of new equipment, showing that Iran has a long-term strategy. On the other hand, the daily bombings are steadily eroding Iranian infrastructure. The decisive factor in this war is precisely whether this resilience will prove sustainable in the long run.

When you woke up this morning, your internet worked. You scrolled, you searched, you shared. But 90 million Iranians woke up — again — to total darkness. Their government has now imposed the longest nationwide internet blackout ever recorded in any country. Almost 40 consecutive days. That should alarm every one of us. Iran’s information blackout is a weapon against its own people. When governments can flip a switch and immediately disappear 90 million people from the internet, the rest of us lose our eyes and ears too.

This is over a year old, but it has still only ever been seen by a minority of my followers, so I hope you will forgive me it you are seeing it again.

Israel's Death Penalty for Palestinians Law passed today. Here's a horrifying 7-minute glimpse by Israel Concentration Camp Service's mouthpiece, Channel 13's Yossi Eli, into Ben Gvir's death row.

🚨BREAKING: Horrifying moments as the Israeli army bombs a tent among densely packed tents of displaced families on Al-Baraka Street, south of Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, resulting in casualties.

Let me say why I hate the cause of "Palestinian freedom" so much. Today, supporters of the Palestinian cause back the Islamic terrorist regime that is killing the people of Iran. The money of the Iranian people has been spent on terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah over these 47 years, but this story goes back even earlier. The Islamic Revolution of 1979 was shaped and financed through Palestinian armed groups. One was Fatah, an Islamist-nationalist movement; the other was the communist PFLP, led by George Habash. Many of those who carried out the military side of the revolution were trained in Palestine and Lebanon. How many times are Iranians supposed to pay the price for Palestinian causes and conflicts? Please shove the Palestinian flag up your ass. If you want to kill Jews, go to Palestine yourselves. Iran is not a tool for advancing your terrorist goals.
