With a humanitarian visa offered by Brazil to nearly 8,000 Afghans so far, an unofficial new route to Canada has opened. Dangers range from cops to crocodiles. In my first long-form feature @TorontoStar, I tell the story of Afghans who walked the Panamanian jungle, nearly 100 kilometres through the infamous Darién Gap. He nearly drowned in the Caribbean. His remarkable 12-country odyssey is the new road to Canada for many Afghans. thestar.com/news/canada/2023…

This tweet from Tasnim (you know, the IRGC’s news agency) literally just exposed who’s actually running things in Iran. The way they talk about Araghchi is just their intern at this point.

If taking down of US fighter jet is true, how come iran suddenly has the technology to shoot it down when they couldn’t do it at the start of the war? who gave them: russia? china? hard to believe they developed that kind of sophisticated air defense system on their own.

Afghan diaspora has been toxic lately. Full of blame games. Everyone sounds like they’re making valid points but if you actually read between the lines, it’s all ethnocentric takes. They just won’t say it out loud.

متوجه میشی که چند وقت میشه افغان ها در تویتر چقدر عالی انگلیسی (با ادبیات بالا) می نویسند.

Pakistan carried out airstrikes in Afghanistan that hit a drug rehab clinic and other locations, killing civilians, according to the Taliban government wsj.com/world/middle-east/pa…

Sad how the deaths of innocent Afghan civilians whether by the Taliban, ISIS, or US troops never really made headlines. Not during the US-backed government, and not now with the Pakistan bombings either. We’re just numbers… and eventually forgotten. That’s just our reality.

I’m not sure if you’re seeing the full picture here. Given Pakistan’s full control over the air and their intel, hitting a drug rehab center seems inexplicable. Taliban's military HQs are well-known locations. Devastating to see over 200 innocent civilians were reportedly killed.

Iran has declared 40 days public mourning.

BREAKING -- Tasnim News confirmed the death of Khamenei.

Fars News, citing its sources, reports that Khamenei’s daughter, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, and grandchild were killed in a US–Israeli attack.

Iran’s attacks on Arab nations during the first day of war with the US & Israel show its desperation for survival. With the exception of Oman, Tehran has no friends left in the region, having sent missiles and drones into eight different middle eastern countries.

Reports of several explosions across Kabul moments ago. An airstrike has reportedly hit the Taliban’s Ministry of Defense educational academy in Darul Aman. The compound is on fire, and residents say Pakistani fighter jets could be heard in Kabul’s skies.

Analysis: Iran is on the brink, again. This time might be different . My latest for ⁦@nationalpost⁩ nationalpost.com/news/world/…

“Instead of simply trying to uncover the truth, these influencers scramble people’s minds and make them question whether anything they’re being told is true. The result is a boosted subscriber count and views that can be turned into YouTube revenue.” newyorker.com/news/the-lede/…

NYT, citing sources, reports that Ismail Ghaani, the commander of the Quds Forces, IRGC's branch for proxies, has been killed in an Israeli strike.

Israel targeted Iran’s highest-ranking military command chain, similar to what they did to Hezbollah last year. Will we see Khamenei issuing statements from a basement hideout, or only audio recordings like the heads of his proxies in the region?
