BJP IT Cell screaming “Modi saved us from Middle East war” while in Yogi’s UP;
A 6-year-old girl fell through the rotting floor of a school bus and was crushed alive under its wheels. 💔
The bus had no fitness certificate.
The driver didn’t rush her to hospital.
He drove her dying body to her father’s shop.
You’re not “protected.”
You’re just distracted.
That little girl Ananya didn’t need a surgical strike.
She needed a bus with a floor.
12 years. Double-engine government. A child still died because the floor of her school bus was a crater.
Accountability? Zero.
Outrage from BJP? Zero.
FIR on school management? Pending.
This is the “Viksit Bharat” they’re selling you; where Indian soldiers guard borders abroad but 6-year-olds can’t safely sit on a school bus at home.
India is not safe because Modi exists. India survives DESPITE the negligence his governments enable.
���🇷🇺 BREAKING:
Vladimir Putin FINALLY speaks the truth.
"Iran fulfilled its commitments, but Trump tore up the agreement. Europe still demanded Iran to remain faithful to the deal. Why should Iran abide by agreement abandoned by the West?” https://t.co/DOxSKJY3CQ
Nothing to see here.
Just Israelis hiding in bunkers. Dancing and cheering as bombs rain on schoolgirls in Iran.
And as American soldiers are sent to die for Israel’s war.
CNN and BBC won’t show you this.
Hey Americans, when you mourn your soldiers in this new US-Israel vs Iran war, remember that Israelis were in bunkers cheering for this war. Your soldiers died for Israel, again.
It's an illegal attack. There is no evidence Iran was about to strike Israel, or about to acquire nukes. There is zero justification under international law for Israel bombing Iran.
There is a Supreme Court judgment (WP(c) No. 943/2021) which says that suo motu FIR should be registered against people propagating hatred and hate speech. I hope this is definitely covered under that ambit?
American bases are located far from America, and the wars that America wages are far from America. The American citizen watches the evil committed by their country without feeling any pain, while the only ones affected by everything that happens are Muslim countries.
And in the end, Trump comes out and says Islam is terrorism!!!
But the truth is that America is the head and source of all terrorism.
Hey @tech_mahindra your employee is openly calling for the genocide of Muslims, very publically, while proudly showing that he's a loyal employee of your company. Are these the kind of people you generally hire?
Here's the post: https://t.co/mGYi9j4x4e
When Jews were attacked in Sydney during their festival, the world stood by them and condemned the terrorists.
Now when the Jews have attacked a Muslim nation during the holy month of Ramadan, the world is either silent or actively aiding the Jewish terrorists.
Hypocrisy!
Imagine telling the world that you're liberating the women of Iran and one of the first things you do is blow up a school full of girls. Extraordinary.
With 118 elementary school aged girls slaughtered by the United States and Israel today in Iran, it’s the single deadliest attack against young girls in the MODERN HISTORY OF THE WORLD.
If these girls were white Christians or Jews it would be the biggest story for months.
Imagine if Iran bombed Washington and killed students in schools, what would you call it? Terrorists
The U.S. and Israel bombed Tehran and killed students in schools. Why do you call it a "pre-emptive strike"?
Bombing a school is a war crime under international humanitarian law
I am a diplomatic aide in the Sultanate of Oman's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
My job is logistics. When two countries that cannot speak to each other need to speak to each other, I book the rooms. I prepare the briefing materials. I make sure the water glasses are the right distance apart. You would be surprised how much of diplomacy is water glasses. Too close and it feels informal. Too far and it feels like a tribunal. I have a chart.
We had a very good month.
Since January, Oman has been mediating indirect talks between the United States and Iran on Iran's nuclear program. The talks were held in Muscat and in Geneva. The Americans would sit in one room. The Iranians would sit in another room. I would walk between them. My Fitbit says I averaged fourteen thousand steps on negotiation days. The hallway between the two rooms at the Royal Opera House conference center is forty-seven meters. I walked it two hundred and twelve times in February. This is good for my cardiovascular health. It was less good for my knees. Both are in the service of peace.
By mid-February, we had something.
Iran agreed to zero stockpiling of enriched uranium. Not reduced stockpiling. Zero. They agreed to down-blend existing stockpiles to the lowest possible level. They agreed to convert them into irreversible fuel. They agreed to full IAEA verification with potential US inspector access. They agreed, in the Foreign Minister's phrase, to "never, ever" possess nuclear material for a bomb. I have worked in diplomacy for seven years. I have never seen a country agree to this many things this quickly. I made a spreadsheet of the concessions. It had fourteen rows. I color-coded it. Green for confirmed. Yellow for pending. By February 21 the spreadsheet was entirely green. I printed it. It is on my desk in Muscat. It is still green.
That phrase took eleven days. "Never, ever." The Iranians initially offered "not seek to." The Americans wanted "will not under any circumstances." We landed on "never, ever" at 2:14 AM on a Tuesday in Muscat. I typed the final version myself. I used Times New Roman because Geneva prefers it. The document was fourteen pages. I was proud of every comma.
Here is what they said, in the order they said it.
February 24: "We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity." — The Foreign Minister, private briefing to Gulf Cooperation Council ambassadors. I prepared the slide deck. Slide 14 was the implementation timeline. Slide 15 was the signing ceremony logistics. I had reserved the Palais des Nations in Geneva, Room XX. It seats four hundred. We discussed pen brands for the signing. The Iranians preferred Montblanc. The Americans had no preference. I ordered twelve Montblanc Meisterstucks at six hundred and thirty dollars each. They arrive on Tuesday.
February 27, 8:30 AM EST: "The deal is within our reach." — The Foreign Minister, CBS Face the Nation. He sat across from Margaret Brennan. He said broad political terms could be agreed "tomorrow" with ninety days for technical implementation in Vienna. He said, and I wrote this line for the briefing card he carried in his breast pocket: "If we just allow diplomacy the space it needs." He praised the American envoys by name. Steve Witkoff. Jared Kushner. He said both had been constructive.
I watched from the Four Seasons Georgetown. The minibar had cashews. I ate the cashews. They were nineteen dollars. The most expensive cashew I have ever eaten. But it was a good morning and we were within our reach.
February 27, 2:00 PM EST: Meeting with Vice President Vance, Washington. The Foreign Minister presented our progress. Zero stockpiling. Full verification. Irreversible conversion. "Never, ever." The Vice President used the word "encouraging." His aide took notes on an iPad. The aide did not make eye contact for the last nine minutes of the meeting. I noticed this. Noticing things is the only part of my job that is not water glasses.
February 27, 4:00 PM EST: "Not happy with the pace." — President Trump, to reporters.
Not happy with the pace.
We had achieved zero stockpiling. Full IAEA verification. Irreversible fuel conversion. Inspector access. And the phrase "never, ever," which took eleven days and cost me two hundred and twelve trips down a forty-seven-meter hallway.
Every American president since Carter has failed to get Iran to agree to this. Forty-five years.
Not happy with the pace.
February 27, 9:47 PM EST: The Foreign Minister's flight departs Dulles for Muscat. I am in the seat behind him. He is reviewing Slide 14 on his laptop. The implementation timeline. Vienna technical sessions. The signing ceremony. The pens.
I fall asleep over the Atlantic. I dream about water glasses.
February 28, 6:00 AM GST: I wake up to push notifications.
February 28: "The United States has begun major combat operations in Iran." — President Trump.
Operation Epic Fury. Coordinated airstrikes. The United States and Israel. Tehran. Isfahan. Qom. Karaj. Kermanshah. Nuclear facilities. IRGC bases. Sites near the Supreme Leader's office. Israel called their half Operation Roaring Lion. Someone in both governments spent time choosing these names. Epic Fury. Roaring Lion. I spent eleven days on "never, ever." They spent it on branding. The President said Iran had "rejected American calls to halt its nuclear weapons production."
Rejected.
Iran had agreed to zero stockpiling. Iran had agreed to full verification. Iran had agreed to "never, ever." Iran had agreed to everything in a fourteen-page document that I typed in Times New Roman.
The President said they rejected it.
I do not know which document the President was reading. I know which one I typed.
February 28, 18:45 UTC: Iran internet connectivity: four percent. — NetBlocks, confirmed by Cloudflare. Ninety-six percent of a country went dark. You cannot negotiate with a country at four percent connectivity. You cannot negotiate with a country that is being struck. You cannot negotiate. This is not a political opinion. This is a logistics assessment.
February 28: The governor of Minab reported forty girls killed at an elementary school.
I do not have logistics for that. There is no slide for that. The water glass chart does not cover that.
February 28: Lockheed Martin: up. Northrop Grumman: up. RTX: up. Dow futures: down six hundred and twenty-two points. Gold: five thousand two hundred and ninety-six dollars. An analyst at AInvest published a note titled "Iran Strikes: Tactical Plays." The note recommended positions in oil, defense stocks, and gold.
The most expensive cashew I have ever eaten was nineteen dollars. The most expensive pen I have ever ordered was six hundred and thirty dollars. The math suggests I have been working in the wrong industry. Defense stocks do not require water glasses. Defense stocks do not require eleven days. Defense stocks require one morning.
February 28: Israel closed its airspace and its schools. Iran launched retaliatory missiles toward US bases in the Gulf. The Supreme Leader promised a "crushing response." Israel's defense minister declared a permanent state of emergency. Everyone is using words I recognize in an order I do not. I recognize "permanent." I recognize "emergency." I do not recognize them next to each other. In diplomacy, nothing is permanent and everything is an emergency. In war it is the reverse.
February 28: The Foreign Minister has not made a public statement.
The briefing card is still in his breast pocket. It still says "within our reach."
The biggest news: BJP has been exposed : BJP members keep shouting "infiltrators, infiltrators." Today, the Allahabad High court granted bail to a BJP worker who himself is an infiltrator. Prime Minister Modi and Amit Shah are the ones who shout the most about infiltrators, but today the court has exposed them. The real infiltrators are inside the BJP party itself.
Since I seem to have the full attention of the right-wing troll army resorting to personal attacks, let’s turn it into a learning moment for them.
Here’s a little quiz to help BJP leaders refresh their history lessons on viRSS.

“They severed my toe”
“They kicked my face to break my teeth, I tried to protect myself.”
This testimony by freed Palestinian detainee Diaa Al-Ghoul, held for a year and a half in Israeli detention, reveals the brutal conditions he endured. His toe was severed, only the flesh, not the bone, but medics reattached it. He suffered four broken ribs from beatings with iron rods and kicks from boots. “They left us without treatment,” he said.
He witnessed an elderly man’s beard burned off while tied to a metal bed. Fathers and sons were separated, forced to hear each other’s screams.
