By this logic, the US has been at war with Iran since 1953, when the CIA overthrew Mohammed Mossadegh to ensure that western oil companies, and not the Iranian people, controlled Iranian oil. It’s brutal puppet the Shah tortured & killed for 25 years. That’s why they chanted DEATH TO AMERICA in 1979

Botin Jurdistani (@kurdistannews24) video: Kurdish Imam from Sanandaj Mosque (Kurdistan, Iran) sends a message to Reza Pahlavi: I promise you: the Kurds in Iran will never allow you to set foot anywhere in Kurdistan. You are dreaming. Even without being in Iran, you have called for the formation of a military against the Kurds. But could you at least be fair and not appoint Tom Morley as the military commander? At least help us. Let me make this clear: when your dictator father executed Qazi Muhammad, there was only one Qazi Muhammad. But now, millions of Qazi exist in Kurdistan. We promise we will not allow you to enter any part of Kurdistan in Iran. In here is the my message in farsi for you. شتر در خواب بیند پنبه دانه، گهی لپ لپ گهی دانه دانه For those who don’t who is who is Tom Morley you can search on google this : tom morley with yasmine pahlavi

Kurdish Imam in Iran tells Pahlavi he is deeply unwelcome: “Let me make this clear: when your dictator father executed Qazi Muhammad, there was only one Qazi Muhammad. But now, millions of Qazi exist in Kurdistan. We promise we will not allow you to enter any part of Kurdistan in Iran.”

Don't know why I can't get over this lying

Footage showed babies being evacuated from a hospital in Bushehr, Iran after the facility was damaged amid US-Israeli strikes. Staff and Iranian Red Crescent workers could be seen wheeling the infants needing specialised care from the neonatal unit to waiting ambulances.

'They will get me killed': Mothin Ali slams Starmer and Tory MP over smears in parliament Tory MP Alec Shelbrooke falsely claimed Green Party deputy leader had been 'protesting in support of the ayatollah'

Just when you thought Labour couldn’t get deeper down in the gutter, when Mothin Ali was subject to a false and blatantly Islamophobic attack by a Tory MP, Starmer went along with it

A map of Java, Indonesia, shows triangles representing factories across the island. Purple triangles pointing up depict factories where workers have increased. Orange triangles pointing down depict factories where workers have decreased. The triangles are scaled by the net change in workers from 2015 to 2025. A small portion of the island near Jakarta has a gray overlay and is labeled “High-Wage Areas.” Most of the orange triangles are in this area. Most of the purple triangles are in the areas without the gray overlay.

New map! @propublica.org and The Oregonian found that Nike is moving jobs away from high-wage areas near Jakarta, opting for regions in Central & West Java where minimum wage is not enough to live on. It's part of our ongoing reporting on Nike's supply chain. www.propublica.org/article/nike...

YouGov polling shows UK public support for US attacks on Iran at 28% - with 49% opposed. Among Labour supporters that falls to 18% support and 63% oppose.

Only 32% of the UK public think UK bases should be used, with 50% opposed. Among Labour supporters that falls to 24% support with 59% opposed.

Al Jazeera reporting Israel is issuing evacuation orders to residents in Tehran and then bombing minutes letter. Iranians have little to no access to the internet to see these orders. They r empty theater & Israel knows it. It should NOT be attacking densely populated residential areas at all.

The choice is stark. Reform are the party of foreign wars and high bills.

The Greens want de-escalation and energy security through renewables. Solar and wind prices don't fluctuate when rogue US presidents launch illegal bombing campaigns.

Could the US run low on weapons for its assault on Iran? Analysts say the US could run low on vital interceptor missiles within weeks.

Analysts say the US has already used up about one-quarter of its missile interceptors, crucial for a prolonged assault.

Hey, do you reckon we're tending towards fascism in this country?

Line go up.

Mahmood trumpeting her admiration for Danish asylum policy, only to have to distance herself from its architects because they‘re massive racists. Incredible scenes

Wow.

The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.

They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.

The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.

And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

End of January #Israel illegally sprayed herbicide across its borders into #Syria and #Lebanon. Affected communities are concerned over the impacts on agriculture and health. We used satellite imagery to track the 55km long affected area. A thread 🧵1/x paxforpeace.nl/news/israel-...

Good example of the way anti-trans hate and antisemitism continue to be intertwined in American discourse. Once more subtly, now far more overtly.

This is exactly how we feel about the US bases in the Gulf.

It turns out Gulf States are being forced to defend these bases rather than the other way around. All at their own expense as well.

The key to getting mainstream media on board with an illegal war is making them feel like an important part of it.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

Hell of a chart, this, from @financialtimes.com. Spot the JCPOA.

Honestly you could say this about the last decade. The number of quasi-insurgent activities regularly taking place on Bahrain over the last decade is jaw-dropping. And you hear like nothing about it because it's essentially a fortress island for the US Navy

UK launches operation to support thousands of Britons in Middle East Officials are understood to be working on plans to evacuate British nationals, should airspace remain closed.

What's happening in Dubai bolsters the argument taxes should be based on people's nationality, not just their country of residence (ie the US model).

If Brits living abroad can expect to be airlifted out by virtue of being British, they should pay some tax towards that.

Don't you love the BBC's sense of proportionality? Their very egalitarian approach?

The attitudes I'm seeing from Bahrainis online are fascinating, a lot of accounts of people just openly cheering and celebrating Iranian attacks and in turn a lot of reports of Bahraini state repression. People who talk about "listening to local voices" should probably contend with this too.

#OtD 1 Mar 1968 Commonwealth Immigrants Act came into force in UK in response to the new Kenyan govt threatening tens of thousands of Asians who were mostly British passport holders. The Labour govt passed the Act to prevent them coming to Britain stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8115...

The US killing one and hundred fifty school children in a single attack on Iran has apparently been universally decided to be a non story by the Western press. Not front page news, not in the highlights, instantly memory holed. Profession and institutions worse than worthless.
