The Strait of Hormuz is entirely within Iranian & Omani territorial waters. Yes, international law guarantees free passage through it. But if you want international law to apply in the Strait, let it apply when it comes to Iran first. Apply international law to fight aggressions against sovereign nations first. Otherwise all 40 countries & yourself should shut the fuck up.
Thank you @YvetteCooperMP for convening a call of over 40 countries on the Strait of Hormuz.
This waterway is a global public good. Iran cannot be allowed to charge countries a bounty to let ships pass. International law doesn’t recognise pay-to-pass schemes.
Today, we looked at diplomatic, economic, and security measures to restore safe passage, alongside working with the shipping industry.
The EU’s Aspides naval mission has already assisted 1,700 ships in the Red Sea and must be scaled up. We cannot afford to lose another critical trade route.
We support work by the UN on humanitarian corridors in the Strait to get food and fertilisers out. The EU has tools to track and facilitate transit that could help with that.

Iranians are waiting for you to liberate them - don’t get cold feet now. They have many presents and tributes to give you. Visit the islands. Visit the mainland. General Soleimani’s children are waiting to welcome you.

As I said - this was always total bullshit. They went to reception and asked if they were allowed to go in.
An Iranian man and a Romanian woman charged after allegedly attempting to enter Faslane nuclear base have been released and will not face court proceedings.

Israeli soldiers torture a one-year-old child in Gaza, including burning his leg with a cigarette and inserting a nail into his leg, according to a report, to pressure his father to make confessions

Finally, a British politician with the brass neck to condemn antisemitism and be racist about another community within the same tweet, instead of doing it in separate tweets within an hour of each other 👏👏👏

This guy eloquently explains why the world would be a better place, and a considerably safer place, if Israel no longer existed.

This aerial shot of the coffins of 165 school girl kids killed by US-Israel will shake your soul.
Pin Drop silence by the world.
TRUMP IS A MURDERER
NETANYAHU IS A BUTCHER
PEOPLE NOT CALLING THIS OUT ARE ENABLERS.

Remarkable that over 550 Iranians have been murdered.
Over 200 of them children.
Started in an unprovoked attack by Israel - a nation with illegal nuclear weapons whose leaders are wanted for war crimes.
And the EU is criticising Iran.

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
Among the faithful are men who fulfill what they have pledged to Allah: there are some among them who have fulfilled their pledge, and some of them who still wait, and they have not changed in the least (Holy Quran 33:23).

It’s clear the June 2017 General Election result by Corbyn that shocked the British Establishment to the core never truly went away - it lay dormant for a while but re-emerged with a vengeance with this huge Green by-election win, we are talking near identical political projects

Last night, I was contacted by a former roommate of Keir Starmer.
After our conversation, I now believe that he is the most dangerous Prime Minister Britain has ever had.
Here’s what he told me:🧵
Reminder:
Jon Sopel and his media chums, helped elect centrist governments including the current one and did their best to destroy Corbyn, yet here they are preaching and telling us the country isn't working.

Doesn’t matter who your team is, you can’t not respect Pep.
🚨 Pep Guardiola hits back at Jim Ratcliffe: "We treat immigrants or people that come from other countries like they are the ones causing problems for our country. It's a big problem because the fact I am Catalan and you are British? What influence did we have on where we were born?
"Everyone wants to have a better life, everyone wants to have a better future for themselves and their families. Sometimes the opportunities are where you are born and sometimes it is in the place where you go.
"The colour of your skin or the place where you were born don't make a difference.
"Most people run away from their countries for the problems that are in their country, not because they want to leave.
"The more we embrace other cultures, truly embrace it, then we will have a better society - I do not have any doubts about that."

BREAKING: WE WON.
The High Court ruled the Palestine Action ban is unlawful as it is disproportionate to free speech and the Home Secretary breached her own policy.
The court ordered the ban be quashed. Details of lifting the ban will be decided and completed at a later date.

If you recognise a war crime in private but refuse to act in public, that is not leadership — it is political cowardice and moral failure. The people of Ilford deserve courage, not calculation. Ilford will remember who had the power to act — and chose not to.

During covid, Cuba did nothing but help countries around the world, often for free.
Now those same countries are lining up to impose the US blockade on it.
Shameful, slavish servants of empire.
🇨🇺 BREAKING | Cuba has warned international airlines that it will run out of jet fuel within 24 hours, citing intensified U.S. energy pressure, according to an official aviation notice seen by EFE. The shortage affects all of Cuba’s international airports from Feb. 10 to March 11, with Jet A1 fuel unavailable nationwide. Airlines may be forced to alter routes, add refueling stops abroad, or cut flights. The crisis threatens Cuba’s already struggling tourism sector and follows new U.S. measures targeting countries that supply oil to the island, after Washington cut off Venezuelan fuel exports.
