It was a fallacy that Britain was being kept out of the war. Today’s events mean more people will see that Britain is enmeshed in it.

As a ERC grant holder I strongly support this letter and urge others to support freedom of expression in academia for Dr @HarrygPettit
BRISMES@OfficialBrismes
#AcademicFreedom | We have written to @ERC_Research to express deep concern regarding complaints against @HarrygPettit, and suggestions that an ERC grant should be withdrawn based on his lawful political beliefs and public expression. Read our letter: bit.ly/4sp7r51 1/2

Somebody better tell Starmer that the UK is participating in war crimes by support that directly facilitates or enables the commission of serious international crimes, such as attacks on civilians or other "grave breaches" of the Geneva Conventions

"Defensive strikes?" The US is loading B-52s—famous for carpet bombing Vietnam—and B-1s with 2,000lb cruise missiles in the UK. There is absolutely nothing defensive about this. It is a massive offensive operation.

Big picture, the Ramadan War is a classic 21st c climate war. Not a war over CO2 emissions, but a war over the organization of energy, fossil energy in particular, waged as a battle over the infrastructure that extracts and moves fossil fuels & related resources across the earth.

Israel displaced 1,000,000 people in Lebanon and is now telling them they can’t return home.
Remember, they don’t hide their intentions, this is about occupying land.

There are no legitimate defensive operations for which you need a B-1 bomber. British bases are staging grounds for this illegal U.S. war on Iran. The "defensive operations" line is a thin political ploy to provide a flimsy legal cover for Britain's complicity in an illegal war.

Two US Air Force B-1 bombers take off from RAF Fairford in England. Fairford is one of two bases that the UK has given the US permission to use for "specific defensive operations into Iran", British Defence Minister John Healey has said

As I detail in my paper (next tweet), the Iron Dome emerged after Hezbollah targeted Haifa. Haifa is Israel’s main port, handling 50%+ of its container traffic. Israel is logistically an “island state”: 99% of its trade moves by sea. If Iran concentrated on destroying Haifa Port the consequences would be catastrophic.

In Manchester Iranian monarchists dance to the beat of a murderous war, with flags of Israel + the US waving and cut out's of Trump up on a stage.
Never known anything like it

Scenes from Tehran look apocalyptic. This is a city of 10 million people.
