Unbelievable!

یک مسأله ای که راجع به اعدامهای اخیر باید مدنظر داشت اینه که هیچکدوم از اعدام شدگان نه با این جنگ مرتبط بودند، نه با جنگ ۱۲ روزه. اعدام شدگان یا از معترضان دی ماه، یا اعتراضات زن زندگی آزادی و یا کسانی بودند که قبل از جنگ ۱۲ روزه به اتهام جاسوسی برای اسرائیل بازداشت شده بودند. درست مثل اعدامهای تابستان ۶۷ که قربانیان ارتباطی با وقایع اون روزها نداشتند. یعنی حکومت در این شرایط خاص جنگ و نیاز به حفظ امنیت و انسجام ملی، در انتخاب بین پرهیز از اجرای احکام اعدام از یکطرف، و اعدام های خوف آور روزانه از طرف دیگر، گزینه دوم رو انتخاب کرده: زهر چشم گرفتن، انتقام و ارعاب.

The most damning thing about this video is that he watches a fellow Iranian--a woman--being manhandled by burly security men and doesn't say a word. Doesn't tell them to stop, doesn't tell her to finish her question. And isn't prepared to take the heat and then answer her.

Netanyahu said that an Iranian nuclear strike on Israel would be like “10,000 tons of TNT falling on a country the size of New Jersey (22,610 km2).” Israel has dropped 200,000 tonnes of explosives on Gaza (365 km2) - the equivalent of 20 nukes on 1.6% the size of New Jersey.

Bombshell? Maybe to Fox News hosts and its foreign operative propagandists, but every graduate student of Middle East studies, every diplomat in the State Dept, every spook in the CIA, and every inspector in the IAEA knew this “bombshell.”

Congratulations to you. Children are innocent and lovable. Those 168 children that your boss killed in the school in Minab, and you justified, were also children. When you kiss your baby, think of the mothers of those children.

I want this war to end - now. And I want a deal that constrains Iran's nuclear program. But what we are learning is that any deal Trump gets - and a deal is still very unlikely - is going to be WAY worse than the nuclear deal he cancelled a decade ago. 1/ Here's what we know:

A new CNN investigation finds key parts of Iran’s nuclear supply chain remain intact as the Trump Admin. claims it decimated Iran’s nuclear capabilities. @katie_polglase's report:

Hegseth in March: “Never before has a modern, capable military, which Iran used to have, been so quickly destroyed and made combat ineffective.” They lied through their teeth. Just straight up fabricated shit.

The Grayzone's @wyattreed13 reports from the B1 bridge near Tehran and surveys the damage of a massive US assault that destroyed one of the country's most significant infrastructure projects as President Donald Trump vowed to bomb Iran "back to the Stone Age" Reporting from the scene of the war crime, Wyatt blows a massive hole in the US narrative, demonstrating the absurdity of the claim that the bridge was a "dual use" structure He also details the horrifying human toll, as the bombing occurred on Nature Day, with many families picnicking nearby

Here, Hossein Entezami, an Iranian government official, says that before the June 2025 war, IRGC commanders Gholam Ali Rashid & Mohammad Bagheri backed Ali Larijani for SNSC chief. All three, seen as pragmatists, have been assassinated, and the post is now held by a hardliner.

Keeping the Strait of Hormuz open isn’t as simple as drawing lines on a map. It takes real capacity—guided missile destroyers, mine-sweepers, and international cooperation. Caught up with @JohnBerman on @CNN to discuss the 'tale of two blockades' and the road ahead for @NATO

French President Macron: "We are respected by the Iranian people and we give them confidence. We are not against the Iranian people, but we are not at war with them either."

A few observations on what has been reported as Iran’s three-phase proposal to the United States. I have been able to confirm some elements, though not all. ⏺️Overall, the Iranians appear to be pursuing a grand bargain—without labeling it as such. This is not merely a proposal aimed at securing a ceasefire, or even a formal end to the current conflict, but rather an attempt to resolve the broader U.S.-Iran antagonism that has persisted for the past 47 years. Implicit in this approach is an expectation that both sides would also restrain their respective regional partners and proxies (Israel, Hezbollah, etc.). In many respects, framing the proposal in this way may align more effectively with Trump’s instincts and psychology. ⏺️It is somewhat surprising that the proposal appears to frontload an end to the war before addressing the nuclear issue. If the conflict is fully de-escalated at the outset, Iran risks losing a significant source of leverage over Trump. Iran’s nuclear program alone has not been sufficient to extract meaningful concessions from Washington, as was evident during the recent ceasefire period. This sequencing may reflect a concession to China and other Asian countries, which have grown increasingly frustrated with bearing the economic costs of a conflict initiated by Trump and Israel. ⏺️The call for an international mechanism to guarantee a non-return to war suggests that any final agreement would, at a minimum, need to be codified in a UN Security Council resolution, with Russia and China serving as guarantors. From Tehran’s perspective, Trump’s personal assurances carry no credibility. ⏺️There is also mention of a revised compensation clause within a new framework, indicating that the fees Tehran might seek in the Straits could be modified or reframed. One potentially more acceptable approach for a broad range of states would be to characterize such charges not as tolls, but as maintenance fees shared with Iran and Oman. This could include oversight of environmental and navigational management, particularly given the high volume of maritime traffic that typically transits the Straits. ⏺️The reported proposal for a 15-year enrichment freeze is somewhat surprising. This would make more sense if it remains tied to a needs-based enrichment framework, as outlined in the earlier Geneva proposal. Under that approach, Iran would only enrich uranium sufficient to fuel two reactors: the Tehran Research Reactor (TRR) and another reactor not expected to come online for approximately seven years. Given that the TRR already possesses enough fuel for the next 5–7 years, Iran would not require additional enrichment during that period. This timeline could be extended—potentially to 15 years—either by downblending existing 60% enriched uranium and turning it into fuel pads now, or by securing external fuel supplies (from France or Russia, for example) to cover future needs. In that sense, the arrangement would technically not constitute a moratorium. ⏺️Iran’s proposal to negotiate a comprehensive regional security framework in phase three is not new. It dates back to UN Security Council Resolution 598, which ended the Iran-Iraq War. Tehran has pursued such an arrangement for decades. The United States should view this constructively: any framework that enables a reduction of U.S. military presence while encouraging regional actors to assume greater responsibility for their own security aligns with the stated objectives of the Trump administration. ⏺️What remains unclear in the reporting is the scope of sanctions relief Iran would seek in return. If Tehran is indeed aiming for a grand bargain, it will likely expect the lifting of all sanctions—primary and secondary U.S. sanctions, as well as UN-imposed measures. Let's see what happens.

We, the Lebanese and Palestinian, are the only people in history watching our genocide live, and we could get arrested or suspended for saying stop kill us, because it might hurt the feelings of the killers.

Israel's mass slaughter in Gaza, enabled by the US, was a moral outrage. And now, as the @nytimes reports, Israel is applying the Gaza model in Lebanon -- and once again we Americans are enabling this moral catastrophe. nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Fascinating footage released by the IRGC of a class at the org's staff college in the 90s, where future IRGC leader Hossein Salami teaches a course on asymmetric warfare, teaching officers how to drag out a war with the US by driving up economic costs and political turmoil.
