#Israel can afford to be seen as a war crimes regime.
The #EU and the US governments will always whitewash their crimes, but the apartheid regime cannot afford to be exposed as weak.
Hence, Israeli media sounds like a broken record since 2023.
Israel's "lightly wounded" and "minor damage" propaganda technique makes #Turkmenistan's propaganda game look sophisticated.
Holding elections does not absolve a regime of its crimes, end an occupation, or confer legitimacy on a system built on systematized and institutionalized oppression.
Just like #Israel, Nazi #Germany and apartheid South Africa held “elections” as well.
Western backed dictatorships in #Egypt and #Jordan also hold “elections.

Marco Rubio, accusing Iran of attacking ships، said: “We haven’t seen anything like this since World War II and the pirates of the Caribbean.”
U.S. President, on 1 May 2026, boasting about seizing commercial ships and confiscating oil cargoes: “we’re like PIRATES. We’re sort of like PIRATES.”
Perhaps the president won’t be too pleased to learn that his secretary of state has so quickly forgotten his own proud claim of being like pirates.
This piece from the @TheAtlantic is another serious indicator of American decline.
#US is now an entity where one branch of the state is formulating its own strategy and policy framework, opposed to another branch and institution.
This is #Russia and the Soviet Union of the late 1980s.
An intelligence officer who works in the Baltics says the CIA’s operations against Russia under Trump are “much more aggressive” than they were under Biden.
This became obvious some time ago.
Why do geopolitical analysts keep following for Trump’s peace kabuki theatre?
If Trump truly wanted to make peace with Russia, he could have done it long ago.
#US goal in the region was always to create chaos or set up a situation where chaos can be created at any moment. Every other calculation, be it oil, puppet regimes, etc. comes second. The key difference now is that they are too weak to manage this strategy properly and #Israel has become the epicenter of regional chaos and will remain as such permanently.
If this was a member of a different regime in the white house, one could assume that he is saying this with a specific scheme in mind. For example, to discredit Islamic #Iran or a certain informational war strategy.
However, it is most probably that #TomBarrack actually believes this out of pure ignorance.
The #MAGA regime is composed of merchants who lack elementary knowledge of statesmanship, let alone geopolitics.
No one should be surprised that if in future history books, we will discover that many of the #Trump regime officials never read a single book on international relations and geopolitics in their entire lives.
U.S. Ambassador to Türkiye Tom Barrack on Iran:
It's very difficult for the average Iranian to survive. Once they get out of a chokehold of that, over time they can change their own regime.
We've changed it three times, right? We installed the Shah. We installed Khomeini in 1979. We took out the Shah.

South America’s renewed rightward political shift raises a troubling question: what interests are served when governments strengthen their relationships with #Israel?
The zionist entity’s military and security establishments have a documented history of cooperation with some of the region’s most repressive socio-political forces..
There are two ways to counter Israeli influence in Latin America. First....

IRAN Activates "Dead Hand" Doctrine
— Iranian supreme authorities have ordered the country's military leadership to fully activate the decentralized "mosaic defense" doctrine amid a growing likelihood of a joint US-Israeli strike against the Islamic Republic.
— According to reports, local commanders have received detailed lists of targets, covering US economic and political assets throughout the region, which could become targets in the event of a war.
— The "dead hand" or "mosaic defense" doctrine is designed to allow Iran to continue fighting even if its central leadership is defeated.
— The IRGC is organized into 31 largely autonomous provincial commands, each of which has its own weaponry, supplies, and decision-making authority, allowing military commanders to make decisions without waiting for approval from Tehran.
Western political elites are panicking over rising gas prices and the cost of essential commodities, yet fully backed the #GazaGenocide in practice.
Remember this the next time #EU and #US officials perform their tired PR rituals about “human rights” and the so-called “rules-based order.”
crescent.icit-digital.org/ar… - Al-Asi’s framework interprets economic unrest beyond immediate price increases.
The central question is not merely whether governments can restore stability, but whether the economic order distributes wealth, resources and political power justly.
This perspective connects material deprivation with the Qur’anic critique of greed, concentrated wealth and social arrangements that normalise exploitation (Al-Āsī, Muhammad: The Ascendant Qur’an: Realigning Man to the Divine Power Culture. Vols 1-12. ICIT, Toronto (2008-2024)).

Imam Khomeini:
"We don't need nationalists, we need Muslims... Islam is against [ethnic] nationalism."
Let alone Iran being a "Persian state," Imam Khomeini even praised the Islamic conquest of Persia in his book and called it "a war between arrogance and Islamic armies."
Gone are the days when only #NATO regimes could use economic warfare to strangle other countries.
The sooner people are put before profits and the western political oligarchy recognizes that the world is now multipolar and that other states must be respected, the sooner their own societies can begin to escape misery.
But will they put the interests of their people ahead of their own luxurious lifestyles? Unfortunately, that seems highly unlikely.

🧵There has been a suggestion from some highly respected academics that Iran should offer Trump a political victory in exchange for ending the war on terms favorable to Iran and its allies.
This idea looks attractive, but it has serious flaws and uncertainties.

What a sad time we live in, when Muslim governments bar Muslim girls from school for wearing the hijab.
We all oppose the Taliban's ban on women's education, and the whole world rightly spoke up against it. Yet hardly anyone in the Western media says a word when hijabi girls are denied an education. Concern for girls' schooling cannot be selective.

In West Asia, 9/11 is 24/7.
It's worth mentioning that 9/11 was done by the same powers who committed all the various massacres across West Asia, including this seen here.

Mr. Macron,
Back in January, you prescribed "peaceful assembly without fear of punishment" for those attacking our law enforcement centers and public institutions at the behest of foreign malign actors. Yet now, facing unrest in your own Republic, you quickly declare that destruction and attacks on state institutions will not be tolerated and perpetrators will be swiftly punished.
We have not forgotten how, prior to the aggression against Iran, you messaged the U.S. President: "We can do great things on Iran." It soon became clear that your version of "great things" meant aligning with a campaign of aggression and atrocities that eventually engulfed the region and the world.
Now that the cycle of crisis has knocked on your own door - and as the cry of "no kings" echoes across America - it might be wise to remember that history does not merely sit by the window opened by sinister alliances, watching the world burn. Sometimes, it shatters that very same window and brings the fire straight back into the house of its authors.
“A trick crafted too skillfully may turn against its designer; and betrayal often returns to its master.”
Jean de La Fontaine
One of the key paradigm shifts brought about by the ongoing regional war in West Asia against American imperialism is that economic warfare is no longer a one-way street. The most significant indirect manifestation of this shift is the ongoing uprising in #France.
The second is Trump’s waiver suspending new sanctions against #Russia, another indication that western regimes have ceased to function as a coherent system. They now lack coherent policies and proper strategic planning.

You see these images in Iran, and Western propaganda machine tells you millions! of people want the Islamic regime gone, they are dissatisfied with Mullahs, a western style government should take power (to prevent mullah dictatorship).
You see them in France, Italy and Belgium; well, they are hundreds! of students protesting against educational reforms, and high cost of living. That’s all.

Edi Rama is copying the Israeli criminal Gilad Erdan. Erdan called Palestinians terrorists when they defended themselves with stones against the Israeli military machine. Rama calls Albanians terrorists when they defend themselves with stones against his military machine.
