To do this to a child is beyond barbaric. No words.

THREAD: Israeli soldiers burned a toddler with a cigarette and pierced him with a nail to force a confession from his father.

Gavin, know where you stand and stand there. You said you what you meant. I don’t know what billionaire got in your ear but it’s not working for you. This is not how you are going to win. It’s Apartheid and it’s a Genocide. Today! theguardian.com/us-news/2026/m…

Ohhh that Volkswagen. Makes sense now.

Sunil Gavaskar should know we pay Indians too.

@arhuml92 I see what you did there.

Must make sure we put our best sofas in Jd Vance’s room

We agreed to stay in touch…..

🚨NEW: A senior Iranian official tells Drop Site’s Jeremy Scahill and Murtaza Husssin: “There aren’t any negotiations taking place. The Iranian side has simply communicated its conditions to [the U.S.] and even that has been done indirectly,” adding that U.S. messages have also only been passed through intermediary countries. 🔸 The same official said Iran’s conditions for ending the war include: 1. A simultaneous ceasefire in Iran, Lebanon, and Iraq, rejecting a limited deal like the 2025 “12-Day War,” which Tehran says was used to buy time for renewed attacks. 2. On missiles, the official said: “Given its defensive nature in countering Israel, this program will continue unchanged and with increased intensity in the event of a ceasefire… The missile program shall not be subject to negotiation under any prospective talks.” 3. On nuclear policy, the official said: “In light of the violations of international law by the United States, as well as Israel’s extensive attacks on nuclear facilities, Iran will formulate a new doctrine,” and that enrichment activities “will continue, either independently or in cooperation with China and Russia.” 4. On reparations: The official added Iran will pursue compensation for damages caused by U.S. and Israeli strikes in any future agreement. 🔸 Iranian officials say Trump’s public statements are aimed at stabilizing markets, with one official saying: “The fact that he publicly responds… is solely intended to manage the financial markets—nothing more.” 🔸 Trump, meanwhile, continues to insist talks are happening, saying his envoys held “very strong talks” and adding he won’t identify the Iranian contact because “I don’t want him to be killed.” 🔸 Iranian officials say U.S. messages, received through intermediaries, are inconsistent and “difficult to assess,” and any willingness to halt attacks appears to be “aimed at reassuring” intermediator countries and are “not taken seriously,” by Tehran. 🎥 @jeremyscahill discusses the latest report on @DanielLDavis1.

Not one person I know is surprised that Modi and Jaishankar are not involved in this big-boy conversation.

Only thing worse I can imagine is a Laura Loomer on a plane.

A few lessons to tame our confirmation bias on Trump’s statements re Iran: 1. Don’t believe a word he says. He will do anything to keep markets calm, save face, avoid blame. He backstabbed Iran twice before while negotiating. 2. Trump can agree to whatever he wants, Israel will not play ball unless arm twisted into a deal. Israel/US incapable of abiding by terms of deal nor can anyone trust them. 3. Region changed for good. If Iran given respite it will build back stronger. More hypersonics, more drones, more ways to block the Strait. 4. Israel will have to curb its ambitions re the region. Netanyahu’s political end is nigh (one hopes). 5. US ability to project power permanently dented. Taiwan, GCC, S.Korea, Japan pray to whichever God you pray because the US isn’t coming to save you. It can’t save you. This is how empires decline, not through conquest but by their own stupidity.

@segmentata @sardesairajdeep @ForeignOfficePk Haan Haan Foreign Office… 😉

@ovesanwar @sardesairajdeep Another @ForeignOfficePk win

Oh my, such surprise from @sardesairajdeep. Is it because you had written Pakistan off or because India has absolutely zero role to play in a major global event? Didn’t know FOMO was so surprising.

THEY. TORTURED. A. ONE. YEAR. OLD. BABY. THEY. TORTURED. A. ONE. YEAR. OLD. BABY. THEY. TORTURED. A. ONE. YEAR. OLD. BABY. THEY. TORTURED. A. ONE. YEAR. OLD. BABY.

Cannot say this enough.

He prefaced his praise for Netanyahu by saying: put aside the Gaza issue for a moment. This is like saying about Hitler: put aside the holocaust for a moment.

‘far from perfect’ is how we are going to describe a State that is committing genocide? Really?

@ShubhdaC The internet remembers.

@ovesanwar I hear, he's deleting his old tweets now 😭

You useless excuse of a journalist. Your JOB is to verify through the fog of war not add to it. And I haven’t heard an apology. You contributed to Israel’s war propaganda that led to a genocide. We had a debate on this and you were adamant there was no genocide. Waiting for that retraction as well. @shashj and @zannymb are enough to sink the @TheEconomist’s credibility.

@ShubhdaC Sadly, propagandists have thin skin.

@ovesanwar He will block you now
