@NiohBerg His Imperial Nose, the great pretender. Descendent of a CIA installed Brigadier who decided to call himself Shah.

Good grief! I don't understand how the Christian right is fine with this blend of megalomania and idolatry.

@DrEliDavid You cannot have something yourself and dictate another sovereign nation to not have the same. I am all for no nuclear weapons if Israel dismantles its nuclear arsenal too. Because looking at the track record, its Israel thats the bigger threat.

@sorvesta_ @DrEliDavid How cute. Your behaviour is the prime example of someone insecure in their argument who then starts to throw personal insults. Whatever my ancestry be, has nothing to do with this argument and you have zero idea about it. But carry on, mald some more. 😀

@SiddiqueHumayun @DrEliDavid به عنوان یک هندی که در فرایندی احمقانه تبدیل به یک مسلمان پاکی شدی، انتظار بیشتری هم از عقل و هوشت ندارم، اگر واقعا به عقایدت اعتقاد داشتی، خودت رو کنار نخست وزیر پاکستان منفجر میکردی، کاری که مطمئنم به خوبی توش مهارت داری.

@sorvesta_ @DrEliDavid Lol, of course. Bla bla and some more bla.

@SiddiqueHumayun @DrEliDavid احمق، پروژه هسته ای ایران هیچوقت مشکل تکنولوژیک نداشت، همیشه موانع حقوق بشری، نظارت بین المللی، حمله نظامی یا مشکلات داخلی مانع ساخت نهایی بمب میشدن.
اگر خیلی به نابودی اسرائیل علاقه داری میتونی از دولت پاکستان درخواست کنی و هزینه جانی و مالی رو خودت بپردازی، نه مردم ایران.

Benjamin Netanyahu - בנימין נתניהו@netanyahu
Israel under my leadership will continue to fight Iran’s terror regime and its proxies, unlike Erdogan who accommodates them and massacred his own Kurdish citizens.
English

@sorvesta_ @DrEliDavid Even worse if they couldnt make a dirty bomb in all those years. The first time Satanyahu said Iran was close to building a bomb was 1992.

@SiddiqueHumayun @DrEliDavid اینها میدونستن که جامعه جهانی بهشون اجازه نمیده که واقعا بمب بسازن، پس تلاش کردن که به سمت "بمب کثیف" حرکت کنن.

@KhSaad_Rafique Its amazing how the US is willing to risk a global recession for Israel.

The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States will make it more difficult to transport oil from the Gulf.
If ships passing through the Gulf are stopped by paying tolls to Iran or using Iranian ports, countries that depend on the Gulf region for oil supplies will face severe difficulties. As a result, oil prices may increase dramatically.
The ill-fated military campaign of the United States and Israel has worsened the lives of millions of people and has endangered world peace.
In fact, the closure of the Strait of Hormuz by the United States will increase global pressure on the United States to end the war as soon as possible.
The intoxication of power and the madness of war campaigns are pushing the United States away from the whole world, including its allies, and towards global isolation...

@ArinKarapet @PahlaviReza Literally noone except his 13 followers want pinocchio. If you are gonna be a monarchist, support the Qajars. Not this brief CIA funded interlude that happened because a Brigadier thought he should be Shah.
English

Welcome to the Kingdom of Sweden and the Swedish Parliament, Crown Prince @PahlaviReza 🇸🇪
Reza Pahlavi is the game changer for Iran’s path to freedom and democracy and the end of the Islamic theocracy.

English

@PahlaviReza There you are. The descendent of a Brigadier who installed himself as Shah. You should rally behind the Qajars and stop pretending.
English

I am pleased to have arrived in Stockholm.
Tomorrow I will address members of Parliament with a simple message for Sweden and Europe: act in support of the people of Iran and our struggle for freedom and true peace.

1992 - #Netanyahu said #Iran was 3-5 years away from a #nuclear weapon.
2002 - #Iraq and Iran were "racing to make the bomb."
2009 - Iran was 1-2 years away from making the bomb.
2012 - Famous #UN diagram, Iran was months away.
It is 2026 now.

now that the negotiation between U.S. and Iran has collapsed, it’s anybody guess what will happen next. but according to Prof. John Mearsheimer, the U.S. has NO GROUND OPTION. so the only remaining off-ramp option is for Trump to surrender. in other words, Heaven help us all 🔥🤦🏻♂️🌏 #WarIsRacket #WarIsStupid @mbauwens @Rizstanford @JOBhakdi

The Trump administration seems to have miscalculated in Islamabad, assuming that Iran was weakened and ready to cave, when in fact it feels it has the upper hand. It's difficult to reach an agreement when both sides feel they have the advantage and are prone to overreach.
And now Trump seems inclined to miscalculate again, assuming that blockading the Strait will force Iran to capitulate. That seems very unlikely. It's true that a blockade will put economic pressure on Tehran and on China, which in turn can put pressure on Iran. But with zero oil passing through the Strait, rising oil prices are likely to put even more pressure on Trump. Iran, as a dictatorship, simply has more strategic patience, and in addition there are many in Tehran who believe that Iran has to do more to reestablish deterrence and make the US pay a price.
If the US blocks Iranian oil exports, expect Iran in turn to keep striking Fujairah, to keep the UAE from by passing the Strait by pipeline, and also to target Saudi Arabia's East-West pipeline carrying oil to the Red Sea. And the Houthis are likely to counter-escalate by blocking oil exports through the Bab al-Mandab Strait as well. And that's not even counting possible strikes on oil refineries in the region.
In short, I think Trump's escalation plans are once again characterized by magical thinking, false assumptions of Iranian weakness and a failure to think ahead about how Iran may respond to his moves. For Trump to escalate at this point will be a sign not of strength but of desperation, and counter to American and world interests.

Israeli strike kills infant girl in Lebanon while she is at her father's funeral
Read it again
And ask yourself, when is it enough?
How much more depravity must we witness until there is accountability?
When does Israeli impunity end?
We must speak up against this insanity
