🇮🇷 As world leaders landed in Tehran for Khamenei’s funeral, they were met with a memorial for the Minab school attack inside the airport.
Messaging doesn’t get more deliberate than this.

Maybe you will never understand how rituals & cultural expressions are preserved over centuries. How the deep-rooted devotional & communal practices can shape your identity across time & space. My mourning is the reinforcement of my morality, it's my spiritual lesson of justice.
ICE officers stopped by our farm yesterday.
“We need to inspect your property for illegal aliens,” one of them said.
I replied, “Alright, but whatever you do, don’t go into that field over there.”
The officer in charge exploded.
“Mister, I have the authority of the federal government behind me!” he barked, reaching into his back pocket. He yanked out a badge and shoved it in my face.
“See this fucking badge? This badge means I can go wherever I want on ANY land. No questions asked, no answers given. Am I clear? Do you understand?”
I nodded politely and said, “Be my guest.”
Then I went back to my chores.
About ten minutes later, I heard screaming. I looked up and saw six ICE agents running for their lives, being chased by my big, mean, old bull. And with every step, that bull was closing in. Fast.
It looked like they were about to get gored for sure.
So I dropped my tools, ran over to the fence, and shouted at the top of my lungs:
“YOUR BADGE! SHOW HIM YOUR FUCKING BADGE!”
One of my favorite things about majlis is what a wonderful social equalizer it is. On my right today was a man with tattered clothes & on my left a visibly filthy rich man - but both seated with humility on the same floor for the same man.
Karbala is the greatest social lyceum.
This grief is too big. I do not know how to mourn. Who do I cry for? The baby with parched lips? The 18 year old that looked like Muhammad a.s? The orphan of Hassan a.s? Do I cry for Ghazi a.s? Or do I cry for how alone my Imam was on the afternoon of aashur?
When Imam Husayn (as) settled in Karbala', Zuhayr pleaded to him that they should attack Hurr's army before the greater army from Kufah arrives.
The Imam responded: "I refuse to be the one who starts the battle..."
The Imam's goal was awakening the ummah, not winning a battle.
BREAKING: Zeteo has released, globally, the film the BBC so controversially refused to air.
"Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" is now available to watch in full at https://t.co/nuifjOzkEz and https://t.co/8g57sEoG8C.
Here's the trailer:
It is sad that there are people who are worried about linguistic niceties when a genocide is taking place under the watch of “civilised world”, 1000s of children are being butchered non stop.
This is not a sit down dinner where one should mind the language and manners. Pahlavi stands with Netanyahu a genocidal maniac, all he deserves is contempt and nothing else.
It is extremely shameful that India abstained from voting on the Gaza ceasefire at the UN General Assembly on June 12, 2025. India has always stood for peace, justice and human dignity.
• More than 60,000 lives have been lost in Palestine—most of them women and children. Thousands are starving and dying, and the international aid has stopped. This is a humanitarian tragedy.
• At such a time, India should have stood firmly in support of a ceasefire in Gaza, but India abandoned its principled stand against war, genocide and justice.
• India has always chosen to stand with Palestine as a matter of principle and not as a strategy, but today that glorious legacy lies reduced to rubble.
• Today, India has abandoned its principles and has bowed down to Tel Aviv. These were the same principles that once made us the guiding light for leadership values to the world.
🔹 It is essential to remember that global leadership is not built on silence. If we want India's voice to matter on the global stage, the most crucial thing is that we stand up against injustice with courage.
🔹 Today, when Palestine is reeling under violence, humanitarian degradation and growing instability, it is not right for India to remain silent.
▪️ Looking at India's history, the Modi government will have to understand that the world does not listen to the country that speaks the loudest. The world listens to those who speak with full courage and conscience.
Talks to address Iran’s nuclear program were planned for Sunday. Instead Netanyahu launched illegal strikes on Iran, killing a top ceasefire negotiator, undermining U.S. diplomatic efforts & putting countless innocent lives at risk. We can’t be dragged into another Netanyahu war.
ایسے باپ کے بچوں سے لڑنے کا حوصلہ ہے؟ نریندر مودی آپ بڑی غلط فہمی کا شکار ہیں، میڈیا کو پیسہ دے کر غلط خبریں چلوا لیں اور اُس سے بھی دنیا کو آپکا مکاری والا چہرہ پتہ چل گیا، پاک فوج آپکو نست و نابود کر دے گی۔
