Putin, whose army has killed and tortured thousands of Ukrainians, and is persecuted by the ICC, called the murder of Khamenei, the supreme leader of Iran, a "cynical violation of all norms of human morality and international law".

I hope this mass murderer ends up in the ICC in The Hague.

🇮🇷 Iran said its missile attacks have targeted the office of 🇮🇱 Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu and the headquarters of the Israeli air force commander.

For those hoping removing the leaders of Iran will bring freedom to the people of Iran, I wish that will be the case. But I would direct your attention to Venezuela. Trump simply replaced one dictator with another who was pro-Trump. That is all Trump is about. He's the Putin of North America.

Trump Has No Plan for Iran's Future Just bombing Iran will not create a stable regime

Zoals bij alles Trump is de oorlog in Iran begonnen zonder dat hij een duidelijk plan had.
Overmoed, zelfoverschatting, roekeloosheid.
Natuurlijk is het een misdadig regime.
Maar zonder strategie is het volk van Iran de dupe van de blaaskaak in de VS

Regime in Iran sidderde al toen Dilan Yezolgöz een weliswaar minuscuul plukje haar afknipte uit solidariteit met het Iraanse volk.
De poseur is nu Minister van Defensie.

Ich weiß was du meinst. In der Tat: Wahrscheinlich wird Israel ihn in ein paar Tagen töten.

Who is Ahmad Vahidi? Newly Appointed IRGC Chief by Iran After Mohammad Pakpour’s Reported Killing in US–Israel Strikes Ahmad Vahidi becomes new IRGC chief after Mohammad Pakpour’s reported killing in US-Israel strikes. Know his background, Interpol notice, career and role.

This is Ahmad Vahidi, Iran's newly appointed chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards after his predecessor was killed in air strikes.

He is wanted by Interpol over his role in the 1994 bombing of the AMIA Jewish community centre in Buenos Aires. The attack killed 85 people and injured around 300.

Billionaires start wars. Our kids bleed for them. It won’t be Trump’s children dying in the Middle East — it’ll be working-class kids sent to die for his ego. If you won’t sacrifice your child for that, call your reps NOW. Block this war. Demand a vote.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Kind of incredible. I was just sitting down to write about how Starmer should be given credit for keeping us out of this mess when he does this. Unutterably foolish and obsequious. Why in God's name should we have anything to do with this shortsighted madness.

Update #IranProtests (282): De Straat van Hormuz werd gisteren afgesloten door de Revolutionaire Garde van het Iraanse regime.

Speaking as a private EU citizen, I am beyond embarrassed that our leaders and representatives criticise Iran while staying silent on the US and Israel. Values are supposed to be universal and if the EU has a point it has to be to defend universal values. That’s my EU.

The death Ali Khamenei is a defining moment in Iran’s history.

What comes next is uncertain.
But there is now an open path to a different Iran, one that its people may have greater freedom to shape (1/2)

Why Do We Fight? The 8 Main Reasons for War While the ultimate source of our tendency as a species to fight wars is subject to debate, we can summarize some of the proximate causes for war throughout human history. Here we boil it down to a han...

Why do people fight? This article provides an overview of the main motives for starting a war.

As far as I can see, Trump's attack on Iran is primarily about resources (oil!), expanding the US sphere of influence, and economic gain, with self-defense being used as a fallacy.

Precies! Als ik af ga op wat @kajakallas.bsky.social de afgelopen tijd over de VS heeft gezegd, is er geen enkele reden om te geloven dat zij de aanval van de VS en Israël op Iran voluit steunt.

Ik vind dat zij uitstekend werk doet voor de Europese Unie.

NOW: We're rallying in New York City for an emergency mobilization in opposition to the US-Israel attacks on Iran which have already killed more than 200 people in Iran.

Footage from near the Strait of Hormuz shows a Palau-flagged oil tanker ablaze after what Oman’s maritime security centre said was a hit from an unidentified projectile.

At least three ships have been struck in the area. More than 150 others have dropped anchor to avoid entering the strait.

Iran leader Khamenei killed in massive US and Israeli attack Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader since 1989 and sworn enemy of the West, was killed in the opening salvo of a massive US and Israeli attack, sparking a new wave of retaliatory missile strikes from Tehran on Sunday.

Live: Trump threatens Iran with force 'never been seen before' if they retaliate US President Donald Trump on Sunday threatened Iran with “force that has never been seen before” if it retaliates against US and Israeli strikes that killed supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. “Iran just stated that they are going to hit very hard today, harder than they have ever hit before,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.Follow our liveblog for the latest updates.

Live: Trump threatens Iran with force 'never been seen before' if they retaliate

Here's the moment a tearful host on Iranian state TV confirms that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed in US and Israeli air strikes.

The Iranian government has announced 40 days of mourning and a week-long holiday to mark Khamenei's death.

The facts suggest two interpretive frameworks for Iran: a foreign war as a mechanism to destroy democracy at home; and a foreign war as an element of personal corruption by the president of the U.S.

1/9. In 2020 Iran did try to interfere with the presidential election.

Some have pointed out that an additional reason for starting this war has to do with tensions between the US and China, because China is a major buyer of Iranian oil. I think this is a factor; economic motives and expanding the US sphere of influence both play a role.
