I think the hardest part of the current political climate is realizing how many people are actually just evil. Not misinformed or uneducated... just openly and happily enjoying other people's suffering.

The bombing of the premier Iran University of Science and Technology in downtown Tehran was not collateral damage but a deliberate attempt to impede the country’s scientific progress and R&D capacity. Despite operating under heavy Western sanctions — and with its scientists often excluded from international collaborations — Iran has remained a scientific powerhouse, consistently punching above its weight in publication density and in high-tech niches such as nanotechnology and medical research. In terms of scientific output, Iran has often ranked first in the Islamic world. It is especially prominent in nanotechnology, where it frequently places among the top countries globally by volume. Yet Iranian officials note that Western sanctions and publishing restrictions have begun to erode this standing, with the country’s global rank slipping from 15th to 17th in recent years.

Iraq has some of the world’s largest oil reserves but the money it earns doesn’t fully flow through Baghdad. Instead, a system set up after the US invasion in 2003 still gives Washington lasting leverage over Iraq's oil revenues. Al Jazeera’s Osama bin Javaid explains.

Sky News foreign correspondent Alex Crawford reported that Lebanese health workers in Nabatieh are being forced to deliberately delay their arrival at emergency scenes to avoid Israeli “double-tap” strikes, which, she said, have become a “pattern”.

When has Israel and its leaders ever given a sh*t about legality Frankly, this pales into insignificance compared to the Gaza genocide, which Starmer and the UK government is pretending never happened, and has never even criticised theguardian.com/world/2026/mar…

A surge of new data centers is reshaping local energy grids, water systems and land use. This rapid expansion is often happening with limited public information about the long-term impacts — or benefits — new data centers could bring. Learn more👉 go.wri.org/data-centers-w… #WorldWaterDay

Tr¿mp is a case example no matter how unsatisfied you are with the candidate, you don't choose a deranged person to become your leader. Well, Msia can't choose its own PM. Anyway, might as well let all the world burn so who knows maybe the world will reset to a better way.

Trump the liberator. Ahmad's report on US and Israeli attacks on civilian sites in Tehran, with Chinese subtitles.

French judge Nicolas Gouyou, who issued an arrest warrant for Netanyahu at the ICC: • Visa and Mastercard have blocked all my cards • I cannot make any purchases • I am a judge, yet treated like a criminal • Judges, lawyers, and politicians are being intimidated • A colleague told me my name won’t be removed from the blacklist until Trump’s term ends • Despite intervention by the French president, U.S. authorities have not responded

They’re pulling a mother out of the debris with her child in her arms… the scene is so horrific that the rescuers can’t hold back their tears

China has invented a process that can turn desert sand into fertile soil in less than a year. They use lab-grown microbes to bind sand together and create firm ground, allowing plants to grow in areas that were uninhabitable.

🇮🇷🇮🇱⚡️– Ali Alizadeh on the assassination of Ali Larijani: “Israel is selling these attacks as form of artificially intelligent oriented smart wars. The way they assassinated Ali Larijani, it had nothing to do with smart wars. In order to detect where he is, they come up with six or seven places and they bomb all of them in a blind way. In order to assassinate Ali Larijani, Israeli terrorist regime killed more than 500 people. And that’s what they call a smart wars.” Footage: Danny Haiphong

if you’ve ever wondered how we came to have a base on this island

A good read. Note that we are still in a pandemic. IMHO for public health to adopt the new paradigm will require new leadership. Only then will the toxic culture of «I know best, I’m the expert» be forced to change. lnkd.in/gvBq4D8h

Nobody believes in the literacy and historical knowledge of Americans more than Iranian officials…

With Ali Larijani I had very long philosophical conversation but not about Kant. About Sohravardi and his theory of Tenth Intellect, about Malakut and about Purple Archangel. Translator was exhausted finding the adequate words with great difficulty. Larijani was wise and deep.
