Our latest report from Iran:

Today, at the Grand Mosalla Mosque where huge crowds gathered to mourn Iran’s slain Supreme Leader, we spoke with mourners about Iran-U.S. negotiations.

It was tough to find someone who supports talking to the Trump regime.

Does the new EU law require proof that the shared material was propaganda? No it doesn’t. Those who criminalize the sharing of factual material or dissenting opinions are the true enemies of the free world.

[Marko Mihkelson 🇪🇪🇺🇦🇪🇺 @markomihkelson]

There should be zero tolerance for amplifying enemy war propaganda. Russia is an enemy of the free world, and its propaganda machine should not be given a platform anywhere. Russia Today should have been removed from cable networks back in 2022.

A new Gallup poll has found that a shocking 79% of Ukrainians disapprove of the job performance of the US leadership, while a lowly 7% of Ukrainians approve.

Many will try to spin this as Trump's fault, but the graph below shows clearly that Ukrainians' approval of US leadership fell precipitously long before Trump returned to the White House in January 2025.

The poll also found that 66% of Ukrainians believe that Ukraine should negotiate an end to the war as soon as possible.

It appears that a great many Ukrainians now understand that the criminal US government has been using them as cannon fodder in its relentless lust for global domination.

Our latest report from Iran:

We speak to British-Iranian politician @HussainShafiei about his reasons for returning to his native Iran in a time of war.

Does Iran have more free speech than Britain?

@alemannoEU The EU will soon impose criminal penalties for “EU bashing”. I have no doubt that you will support them.

Israel executed little Ahmed today in Gaza.

An Israeli quadcopter drone dropped a bomb on him while he was filling water containers.

A child was killed for trying to get water to survive.

Japan is the textbook example of a vassal state.

The US nuked Japan twice, and still has 76 military bases there hosting 54,000 US soldiers.

Japan is so shameless that it celebrates its imperial master's independence day. And it did a drone show depicting Trump.

Humiliating.

This is properly insane: quite literally the worst example of censorship I've ever heard of anywhere.

I checked the actual ruling (which you can see here: https://t.co/dBKFWZ2ZWm) and, to be clear, it isn't just censorship in the conventional sense - blocking access to a website or removing content from platforms - this is the criminalization of information relayed by private citizens, with prison sentences attached.

And the most insane aspect if that it does NOT matter if the information relayed is accurate or not. It just matters that it originates from RT or other media outlets banned in the EU.

In other words, truth isn't a defense anymore in the EU, it literally doesn't matter. It's purely based on the identity of the speaker.

The ruling is actually explicit about this: the regulation, quoted by the Court says that the prohibition applies to "any content," and they draw no distinction based on what the content actually says. If it originates from banned outlets, it's banned.

It is, quite simply, a complete unraveling of the entire post-Enlightenment legal and philosophical project where entire generations of Europeans fought to move from "who says it" to "is it true" as the operative question.

Think about the absurdity of it: if RT publishes a video saying the sky is blue and you share it on a publicly accessible website in the EU, you'd fall within the scope of this ruling, making you liable to criminal prosecution.

Completely and utterly absurd. But that's the EU today for you 🤷

BREAKING | UKMTO reports a cargo vessel issued a distress alert after coming under attack by unknown armed assailants approximately 30 nautical miles southwest of Hodeidah, Yemen. Authorities are investigating the incident.

@alisonisawoman Yes it’s cooling spray. It’s currently 32C in Tehran and it’s only 10:40 am.

[Dimitri Lascaris @dimitrilascaris]

We’ve returned this morning to the Grand Mosalla Mosque in Tehran. Huge numbers of mourners have gathered to pray on the 3rd day of the funeral program for Iran’s slain Supreme Leader.

@Tzeporah The question you need to answer is: how could you get it so wrong? If people with your knowledge of the issues keep getting duped by these con-men, then Canada is a lost cause.

A Morocco fan held up a Palestinian flag and a banner condemning Israel’s killing of Palestinian footballers.

As security violently approached her to take the sign away, the whole crowd erupted into chants of “Free Palestine.”

@PaulChampLaw It’s called journalism, Paul. I know that’s difficult to recognize for people like you who rely on the corporate media for their information.

[Dimitri Lascaris @dimitrilascaris]

It’s 4:30 am here in Tehran, and our entourage of foreign journalists is leaving our hotel to visit the Grand Mosalla mosque, where the body of Iran’s slain Supreme Leader is lying in state.

It’s day 3 of the 7-day funeral program.

For the next six days, I have chosen to report while wearing a hijab and dressing in black as a mark of respect during the funeral period for the late Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. It is my way of honoring the solemnity of the occasion and those who are mourning.

🚨URGENT: Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya’s life is in immediate danger, Physicians for Human Rights Israel and his lawyer warned Saturday, after a prison visit revealed the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital bearing fresh, severe injuries to his head, eyes, ears, and neck, so disfigured his own attorney initially struggled to recognize him.

🔹Attorney Nasser Odeh, who saw Abu Safiya Thursday at the underground Rakefet interrogation facility in Nitzan Prison, said he arrived shackled hand and foot, escorted by masked guards, struggling to breathe and speak, unable to sit upright, and repeatedly on the verge of losing consciousness.

🔹Abu Safiya told him that after his Supreme Court appeal was heard June 10, four or five guards entered his solitary cell at Ganot Prison and beat him with a hammer and batons, and that since his June 24 transfer to Rakefet he has been beaten daily, losing consciousness several times without receiving medical treatment.

🔹“This is the last time you will see me,” he told his lawyer. “They brought me here to kill me. I don’t see myself surviving. This is the end.”

🔹PHRI notes the escalation in torture began directly after Abu Safiya challenged his detention in court. He has been held without charge since December 27, 2024, under Israel’s Unlawful Combatants Law.

🔹The group has appealed to Israel’s attorney general and prison service demanding his immediate transfer, an independent medical examination, and an urgent judicial visit “before it is too late.”
