Heartbreaking, cruel, despicable, and utterly outrageous: the American-Israeli aggressors have attacked the Pasteur Institute of Iran — the oldest and most prestigious research and public health center in Iran and the entire Middle East, founded in 1920 through an agreement between the Pasteur Institute of Paris and the Iranian government. This is not merely another war crime committed as part of an illegal war; it is a barbaric assault on basic human core values.

The University of Washington appears to have removed a professor, Aria Fani, from his position as director of the Middle East Center because he criticized Israel and stated that the claim that Iran was pursuing a nuclear weapon was untrue.

“Bridges next, then Electric Power Plants”

here is a graph showing per capita steel production in Iran vs USA from 1980-2025. I show steel production because it is a fundamental component of a modern economy and is a "real", not monetary, statistic. In the days of the Shah, despite Iran being an extremely large oil exporter, Iran produced little to no steel. Since 1979 (when the Shah was deposed), Iran's per capita steel production has become greater than USA's per capita steel production. Which, during the same period, has declined by approximately 50%. This has taken place despite decades of US economic warfare against Iran, warfare that has now expanded into destruction or attempted destruction of Iranian steel plants that are important social capital of the Iranian people.
