IRAN's strategic endurance is a masterclass in anti-imperialist sovereignty.
By leveraging its unique dual political structure and long-term doctrine of sabt-e stratezhik (strategic patience), Tehran effectively denies Western powers the ability to dictate terms.
Iran is not merely organising funeral ceremonies for the assassinated Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei in the country and in Iraq (very important). Through these ceremonies, it is broadcasting a series of domestic, regional and international messages.
Watch who appears among Iran’s decision-makers. Watch which delegations are received, who receives them, and in what order. Above all, watch how Iran uses this moment to reaffirm domestic cohesion in the face of those who spent more than a year advertising the fantasy of a “weak Iran” before the war.
What is most striking is not Iran’s choreography, but the failure of its enemies to read it. To my surprise, Israel — and undoubtedly the United States — still appear not to understand Iran, even after 47 years of confronting the same ruling system.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan:
Israel is not just Türkiye's problem, nor is it solely President Erdogan's issue. The only difference is that President Erdogan is the one openly saying that what is wrong is wrong. That is a separate matter, and it is something humanity itself should reflect on.
But everyone knows it and feels it. People whisper it behind closed doors, and from time to time they say it openly. This is a problem for all of humanity. That's what we should call it.
These people have become a burden that humanity can no longer bear. With these policies and this mindset, humanity cannot carry this burden. The human conscience cannot bear it. Political systems cannot sustain it, and economic systems cannot sustain it. No matter which framework you use, there is no parameter under which these people can be sustained.
That is why we always say to the international community, when they ask me, "Why are you making this your issue?" I may be the only country that can speak out loudly against it, but this is a problem for all of you.
If you expect me to solve your problem on your behalf all by myself, then everyone must step up, take a diplomatic stance, and impose the necessary sanctions on those people.
@ahmednasirlaw CASH is the ultimate kingmaker. this election. With Baba out of the equation, Ruto is counting on cash [ corruption proceeds] to override tribal loyalty.
Separating the politics from the person. I may despise Aden Duale’s political stances, but when it comes to standing up for the basic honor and identity of his ethnicity, the man doesn’t blink. NDUME. Credit where it's due. Flowers given. 💐
*Ethnic profiling has no place in our country!*
Indeed, the preamble of our Constitution celebrates and recognizes our ethnic diversity as the people of Kenya.
Suffice it to say, Article 12 of the Constitution which is in the Bill of Rights espouses in black and white the right of every citizen to a Kenyan passport and identification documents regardless of their ethnicity.
That a media house could therefore go on a rampage, without hesitation, to profile Kenyans only of Somali origin who are constitutionally entitled to be issued with registration documents just like all other Kenyans, is nothing short of ethnic profiling and targeted discrimination against the Somali community based purely on ethnicity.
I call out the media house for unprofessionalism, dishonesty and bias. The "investigative" news item was nothing short of attempts at targeting and discriminating the Somalis by casting aspersions on their citizenship. This has NO place in our Constitution!
Guardiola is the best coach of elite players there’s ever been. Ferguson is the best builder of a football club there’s ever been. I don’t think either could have done the other as well. So it’s not really worth comparing.
Hiding alone in a mountain crevice in Iran, the injured American airman knew exactly what to do: survive and evade.
For more than a day, the weapons systems officer whose F-15E Strike Eagle was shot down inside Iran avoided being captured by encroaching Iranian forces. At one point, he scaled the rugged terrain to a ridgeline 7,000 feet above sea level, equipped with little more than a pistol, a communication device and a tracking beacon. https://t.co/LDURjq8JJV
Now i see why the CIA spends billions on making sure most countries don’t develop to the degree Iran is. The invincible US air force is actually pretty touchable when going against competent defenses that they couldn’t just buy off
The propaganda to villainize Iran is going to be tough. There was no 9/11, this is not Osama in a cave with a turban, these are white guys with blue eyes in suits speaking calmly and rationally, not what Americans are conditioned against
Someone like Larijani is irreplaceable but in the last week or Iran has produced 3 names to replace him and each one sounded suitable. Amazing depth in the society when rest of the world is mass producing morons.

"The Israelis are aware that for all of the strength they are manifesting against Iran, that manifestation is not coming from a position of strength. Instead, it is coming from a position of weakness. It is a manifestation of hysteria over the idea they might actually be losing"
