🚨 BREAKING
IRGC Missile Command:
"We announce the end of all targeting restrictions. We will strike infrastructure in a manner that will deprive the United States and regional countries of oil and gas resources for years to come.
Orders have been transmitted to local missile bases, and operations will begin immediately."
Here’s the reality re Iran
From someone with years of on ground experience there
I’m certainly no supporter of the regime, I’ve seen how brutal they can be with my own eyes, but the Western propaganda being pushed right now has many inaccuracies
Listen to language Sky News uses when reporting on the US attack on Venezuela: “stunning,” “spectacular,” “lit up the night sky…”
You’d never guess they’re describing a coup, illegal strikes, and a kidnapping.
This is propaganda, not journalism.
The guardian reported "110k" at our London rally today.
Yet, literally had their own helicopter showing the millions of patriots 🤡
Legacy media proving again they'll just lie to your face for their own agenda.
This is why nobody trusts them.
We are the media now.
This lad filmed inside a migrant hotel as a citizen journalist, ate a bowl of pasta to demonstrate how easy it is to pretend to be an "asylum seeker".
Nearly a dozen police officers raided his home for "burglary".
They don't like the truth being shown!
.@BBCNews .@SkyNews no coverage yet of bomb threat incident on an easyJet plane this morning? I have full video available showing passenger take down and the man’s id as taken by a friend on the plane
Whoever this guy is that I'm hugging, I would like to give him my shirt. Tag him in the pic that I have just so I can sign it and get it to him ❤️ #manutdcrystal
I saw you tweet around 280 days and said to myself that if he reach 300 days then I will send him a shirt! Thanks for the support. Email in my bio and I send you a shirt 👏🏻
