@ukinerbil There is a clear bias towards England

Rainbow, sunshine, peace, love and pancakes. Thanks Ambassador Barrack.

[Ambassador Tom Barrack @USAMBTurkiye]

In the tradition of those who have long studied the Levant and Anatolia — Iraq, Syria, and Turkey remain the strategic fulcrum upon which any enduring Middle East stability must pivot. Balancing these three nations requires a single, consistent point of American contact and leverage — transcending tribal, religious, or sectarian differences. This vital mission, embraced by President Trump, seeks to aid the region in aligning itself toward shared prosperity by weaving its disparate threads into one coherent tapestry of order and mutual interest.

Bilgi University has been shut down by Erdogan.

It was academically one of the most successful universities of the country. I personally know very high-level graduates from that university.

But again, he did it 10 years ago too, and sadly, Bilgi will not be the last one.

Bilgi Üniversitesi kapatıldı..

Resmi Gazete’de yayınlandı: 1996 yılında kurulan İstanbul Bilgi Üniversitesi’nin faaliyet izni iptal edildi.

🔺Can Holding’e operasyonun ardından Bilgi Üniversitesi’ne kayyım atanmıştı.

🔺Bilgi Üniversitesi’nin öğrencileri garantör devlet üniversitesi olan Mimar Sinan Üniversitesi’nde eğitimlerine devam edecek.

At the beginning it was lots of weapons, then it became a small amount of weapons, now Kurds just take, take, take.
This glib demented orange goblin just talks, talks, talks, with no evidence. Even Rubio ran away from @diyarkurda's question last week on the weapons.

[Rudaw English @RudawEnglish]

#BREAKING: Trump says Kurds disappointed him for allegedly taking American weapons sent to Iranians.

"The Kurds take, take, take," he said.

@sidlowe Rayo's storu is nothing short from inspiring. So happy for the barrio.
Btw, Let me invite you for a cold one next time you are in Madrid.

El espectacular recibimiento de Vallecas al Rayo Vallecano en la primera semifinal europea de su historia

[Azhi @AzhiYR]

Living in Vallecas, I've experienced this firsthand.

Earlier this season, after Rayo vs Real Madrid, I saw Isi Palazón standing at the corner near my house, talking to fans, taking selfies, and telling them he was going to a nearby bar. Pure magic of solidarity & camaraderie.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

“At Rayo, players don’t live in a bubble. Before every game, you park your car on the street and walk through the supporters. You quickly realise it is different, with a sense of belonging and communion.”

Rayo Vallecano are perhaps Spain’s strangest football club. They only sell paper tickets. Rival clubs have made fun of outdated facilities at their ramshackle home stadium.

But there is also a special magic to the place, which has reached new heights during this season’s adventure to the Conference League semi-finals.

@dermotmcorrigan explains why fans have been camping out in the streets to secure their part in it.

The best thing KRG leadership did in this war was maintaining neutrality. Had it taken a side in this, the Region would have had to face the wrath of a wounded Iran by itself under ceasefire (or a possible truce).

بیر لە داهاتوو ناکەنەوە، کە ئەم منداڵانە هەمیشە ئەو وێنانەیان دەمێنێتەوە. گرنگ ئێستایە. گرنگ ئەوەیە تیکتۆک و ئینستاگرامەکە جمەی بێت. گرنگ ئەوەیە لە کۆتایی هەفتەکەدا بە گرافیکێک بڵێن ئێمە یەکەمین.

[Azhi @AzhiYR]

ئەوپەڕی بێ مۆڕاڵییە کە منداڵەکانی ئەو دوو شەهیدەی دوێنێ، کەمتر لە ٢٤ کاتژمێر لە شەهیدبوونی دایک و باوکیان دەهێندرێنە سەر شاشە.

منداڵی ٥ ساڵ چ سوودێکت پێ ئەگەیەنن؟ چ نرخێکی هەواڵییان هەیە تا بەو شێوە بەکاریان دەهێنیت، جگە لە ئیستیغلالکردنی تراومایان بۆ چەند ڤیویەکی سۆشیال میدیا؟

[Azhi @AzhiYR]

The way he is looking at the camera when saying "certain group of people and they're gonna pay a big price for that!"

It seems like a message to individuals, rather than groups. People he knows personally!!!!!

[Azhi @AzhiYR]

I have a feeling that Trump is NOT talking about Rojhelat groups, regarding the weapons sent!

[The Amargi @the_amargi]

Iraq is going to the 2026 World Cup after its first World Cup participation in 1986.
After beating Bolivia 2–1, people celebrated across Iraq.

PM Mohammed Shia al-Sudani declared two public holidays.
In a politically divided country, football still brings Iraqis together.

[Azhi @AzhiYR]

Yes, very logical. Those countries EARNED their place in their continent's qualifiers. Unlike Italy which despited expanded field for UEFA, they couldn't get a win against 65th ranked Bosnia.

It's not Curaçao & Uzbekistan's fault that the Italian NT are losers 🤷🏻‍♂️

[Michael Yokhin @Yokhin]

World Cup with Curaçao and Uzbekistan, but without Italy.

Very logical.

Grok’un, bir X kullanıcısının talebi üzerine terörist görsellerini eşeğe çevirmesi sosyal medyada ilgi çekti.

[Peshawa Hawramani @PHawraman]

Reports that speak about a role of the Kurdistan Region and the allegations claiming that we are part of a plan to arm and send Kurdish opposition parties into Iranian territory are completely unfounded. We categorically deny them and affirm that they are being published deliberately and maliciously.

At the same time, the Kurdistan Regional Government and the political parties within it are not part of any campaign to expand the war and tensions in the region.

On the contrary, we call for peace and stability in the region. We strongly condemn the cowardly attacks targeting the Kurdistan Region, and we call on the federal government and the international community to intervene to stop these assaults and protect our land, our people, and our region.

[Karwan Faidhi Dri @KarwanFaidhiDri]

Western journalists should read more about Kurds before reporting on them. I have seen too much misinformation on Western media these days.

[Human Rights Watch @hrw]

The laws of war strictly prohibit attacks targeting civilians, which include officials from other countries who are not directly participating in hostilities.

The suggestion that Israeli forces will target Iranian government officials who do not leave Lebanon is both deeply disturbing and an admission of an intent to commit a war crime.

[Azhi @AzhiYR]

The guy who fancies himself as king, values the blood of 3 Americans above that of his own people... what a tragedy Iranians are living.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

My heart aches for the 3 American heroes killed and the 5 wounded by the regime. The Iranian people are forever in their debt.

To their grieving families: please accept our immense love, deepest condolences, and eternal gratitude.
