We are solidly back to the days of "WE are the civilized, makers and beneficiaries of the rules, and THEY are the uncivilized, entitled to no protections"

That mindset never really went away, some of just pretended it did. No denying it anymore

Iran forced the evacuation of several US embassies in the region. It will likely force more to evacuate as well. I'm willing to wager - because the Trump admin is that petty and sociopathic - that this is US revenge for that x.com/ThomasVLinge...

There are strong indications there will be boots on the ground very soon - a combination of Kurdish separatists and US special forces. Which would be a blood bath for the invaders unless they can muster 500,000 troops who understand the mountainous terrain

An Al Jazeera investigation into the US/Israeli strike on the girls school in southern Iran has come up with 2 possible explanations for the attack: either gross negligence or a deliberate attack aimed at creating a mass casualty event to undermine morale www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/...

Israel has already killed 50 people in Lebanon. Just slaughter for the sake of it.

Analysis on Turkey's role in the war on Iran. I don't know that Turkey is playing such a straightforward role. Ultimately, it cannot afford to let the Iranian govt fall, but it also seems angry that Iran "let" this happen. x.com/shanaka86/st...

If this is true, this means the missile that killed 180 little Iranian girls came from the United States

I stand by what I said b4. Turkey blames Iran 4 all this. Clearly, they didn't like being sidelined by Iran during the negotiations in favor of the Omani mediators. The notion that Iran couldve "compromised" & reached an agreement w/the US that Iran cld live w/or that would b meaningful is absurd

Venezuela capitulated to the United States once, twice, three times, and it wasn't enough. Now the United States is trying to blackmail Delcy once and for all to ensure complete and under subservience. This is what you get for "negotiating" with the thugs and criminals running the United States.

Beautiful Esfahan is being bombarded. The capital of the Safavid dynasty. Full of the most exquisite mosaic buildings. A jewel that includes multiple UNESCO world heritage sites. To attack this city is to attack the cultural heart of Iran

The US unleashed its B-1 bombers on Iran. The bombing in Tehran is reportedly apocalyptic. Given the densely populated nature of the city, these strikes are likely either disproportionate, indiscriminate or perhaps even deliberately targeting civilians/civilian objects x.com/UnboundedVoi...

This is a horrific level of bombing. If you can listen to the audio, please do. What's even more horrific is that the people filming this are laughing x.com/RyanRozbiani...

Iran has been preparing for this since June. It knows it is weaker and planned accordingly. The US, by contrast, did NOT start planning for this until early Jan at the earliest. They are clearly unprepared and scrambling for more amo

"Salafist militant group Jaish Ul-Adl has rebranded itself as a member of a coalition called the Popular Fighters Front. The new entity claims 2 bring together several mostly dormant Baluch groups & presents itself as part of a broader Iranian opposition rather than a purely Baluch separatist force"

Images from the Israeli-US strike on the iconic Enghelab Square. I love love love this part of the city - can't believe it's been blown to smithereens.
