These are war crimes. This war must be stopped immediately.

Black smoke now billows over Tehran and Isfahan after early‑morning US‑Israeli airstrikes, with Tehran’s Amirkabir University appearing to have suffered significant damage.

The US-Israeli forces attacked Amirkabir University in Tehran. Targeting civilian facilities is a terrorist act.
I don't think even ancient barbarians can compete with Israeli & Trump's gang.
If we believe Tyranny comes from unrestrained use of power then by definition US & Israel are tyrannies.

Diaspora Iranians are being told they must support the war because people inside Iran do. But, as @nahid8 argues in @newlinesmag today, that's not solidarity.

Remember Abbas #Kiarostami, the renowned Iranian director who won the Palme d’Or at the 1997 Cannes Film Festival for his masterpiece Taste of Cherry?
Even his HOME was not spared from the bombs of the American-Israeli aggressors.
Was Kiarostami’s home part of the alleged “imminent threat” to the United States?!
The truth is that this American-Israeli WAR OF WHIMS is not merely against a State — it is against a deep-rooted culture, civilization, and identity.
Yet Iran, drawing strength from these very roots, will bring its enemies to their knees.

Tucker Carlson - "The idea that Israel accidentally killed tens of thousands of women and children in Gaza is a total lie-they murdered them on purpose. It's not even debatable; it's a fact..."

On this day last year, Israel murdered our very dearest and bravest colleague Hossam Shabat in an airstrike in Beit Lahia, north of Gaza.
His last words were, "I ask you now: do not stop speaking about Gaza. Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free."

Bernie Sanders: “We are living with a president who is a pathological liar. He is an authoritarian. What concerns him most is wealth and power. I think he has very little empathy for his fellow human beings. It is extremely dangerous that a man like that is President of the United States”

No child should have to stand in line like this just to eat while billions are spent on war.

Meet Barak; Iran's Red Crescent rescue dog. Just saved two people today from under the rubble. Give him a virtual pat on the head.

A reporter in Tehran has published photos of the antique bas-reliefs used in the façade of the police station in Tehran's Grand Bazaar, which was severely damaged in US-Israeli airstrikes. The columns were reportedly carved in the 1920s

I write for @newlinesmag about the failed politics & media propaganda that framed the Iran war as an inevitability rather than the catastrophe that it is. And I write about our responsibility toward those inside Iran, esp. those who supported the war.

“The minimum obligation of those of us outside Iran is to refuse to amplify the war’s propaganda, however it is packaged, and to hold our own governments to account for a catastrophe that was not, despite what the maximalists insist, inevitable.”

The war has occasioned an anguished debate among Iranians. @nahid8 examines the political disconnect between diaspora voices and those inside Iran who experience the consequences firsthand in this layered, empathic, deeply compelling @newlinesmag essay.

“They killed my mother — and before that, my brother. I urge everyone: do not go to the American aid distribution points soaked in blood. This bag only contains 2 empty flour sacks — nothing else — & yet they shot & killed my mother as she tried to get us something to eat today.”

Israel is wiping out critical bridge after critical bridge in South Lebanon.
Civilians can’t flee.
Ambulances can’t reach the wounded.
Entire communities are cut off from food, medicine, and essential supplies.
This is intentional.
This is a crime against humanity.
