As our minister says Iran was not behind the attack on the US helicopter. As tensions remain high in the strait, accidents can occur. There was no intentional targeting of the US helicopter.
Foreign forces in proximity to our territory are at constant risk on account of their own human errors, plain accidents, or potentially being caught in crossfire.
To reduce risk, best solution is for them to leave.
We prefer language of diplomacy but speak other languages too.
او باور داشت که ظفر در پیش است
بنده صالح خدا شهید دکتر علی لاریجانی مرد تدبیر و تعقل به خدا پیوست
او دیپلماتی برجسته بود که مذاکراتش با حکمت آمیخته بود
در بزرگداشتش فکر می کردم که چقدر طول می کشد تا یکی دیگر مثل او بیاید
هموطن من این انسانهای شریف و وطندوستی اند که برای جلوگیری از فلاکت ایرانیان امروز و نسلهای فردا خودشان را سپر بلای زیرساختهای ایران کرده اند.
نه آن زبالههای پلشت خائنی که با پرچم اسرائیل قر میدهند و تقاضای موشکباران و زدن بمب اتمی دارند.
هموطن بودن با شما افتخار ماست.
When you still lacked even the most basic signs of civilization, we were teaching algebra and writing humanity’s first calendars. You don’t drag a civilization like that back to the Stone Age.
What kind of regime needs an entire region to weaken itself just to “feel safe”?
It resembles someone fleeing their own shadow—the shadow of years of violence. But history cannot be outrun. Security built on others’ weakness is not stability.
The idea that every sovereign country near Israel must cap its conventional weapons, limit its defensive capabilities, restrict missile and fighter jet ranges, and even dismantle its own military industries—just so Israel can "feel safe"—is completely absurd.
Which other nation on Earth demands and receives this kind of privilege?
This exceptionalism is especially ridiculous coming from a regime with such an inherently aggressive posture and track record in the region.

Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s Baltic ports (Ust-Luga & Primorsk), amid wider disruptions, have tightened exports and will push oil prices higher. This is not pressure but disorder—where even aligned actors are out of control, increasing pressure on the U.S. and its allies.
Decapitation (decapicide)—the targeted killing of state leaders—must be recognized as an international crime and added to the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court. It undermines sovereignty and global order.

When rules are bent for some and weaponized against others, it’s not a rules-based order—it’s power politics dressed up as law.
Selective enforcement doesn’t prevent crises—it deepens them. One standard for all, or the system loses legitimacy altogether.
The U.S. backed Israel's Gaza blockade, cutting aid under "security" claims, yet condemns Iran for defending itself in Strait of Hormuz.
Double standard: Israel's crimes are OK while Iran's defense against aggressors is condemned. International law is not tool of convenience.
International law doesn't mean anything to the gang of thugs and war criminals running Israel, but threatening to assassinate a foreign minister (FM @araghchi) to extort concessions from a country at the negotiating table is on a whole new level.
The entire international community bears responsibility to condemn these threats and convene an Emergency Security Council meeting to address the situation.
The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT), which reflects customary international law binding on all states, prohibits procuring any consent or concession through coercion of a state’s representative.
Article 51 explicitly states:
“The expression of a State’s consent to be bound by a treaty which has been procured by the coercion of its representative through acts or threats directed against him shall be without any legal effect.”
Threatening to assassinate a foreign minister — a direct act or threat directed against the representative — to extort concessions is precisely the coercion the VCLT forbids. Any resulting agreement or concession would be legally void from the outset.
This also violates the 1973 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons (which Israel itself has ratified). Foreign ministers are expressly protected persons under the treaty. Any threat to murder them constitutes incitement to commit a grave international crime and triggers the obligation of every state to prevent and punish it.
UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres must intervene immediately under his legal authority to uphold the Vienna Convention, the 1973 Convention, and the foundations of international law, condemn these threats without delay, convene the necessary emergency mechanisms, and ensure that no state is allowed to extort concessions through assassination threats.
@Nostre_damus False and misleading. Iran neither buys nor sells peace—nor does any country pay for it.
Our actions targeted U.S. military positions, not neighboring states. Regional policy is grounded in sovereignty, lawful conduct, and economic cooperation—not social media fiction.

نیروهای نظامی ما با ایمان و شجاعت میجنگند و مردم نیز هر طور که میتوانند باید به یاری این جانبرکفان بشتابند.
این ابرِ سیاه از سرِ کشور کنار خواهد رفت، اما ننگش بر پیشانی کسانی میماند که در کنار خائنان به وطن ایستادند. امروز بیطرفی نیز چیزی جز بیخردی و بیوجدانی نیست؛ برخلاف هیاهوی اقلیتی اندک، اکثریت مردم ایران خواهان قطع دست متجاوزاناند.

اسرائیل و آمریکا در حال بمباران اماکن غیرنظامی هستند. در این شش روز، چهارده بیمارستان و مرکز درمانی و کارخانه داروسازی — در کنار مدرسه، ورزشگاه، مسجد و منازل مسکونی — مورد حمله قرار گرفته و ویران شدهاند.
بهانه آنها برای حمله به این زیرساختها همان بهانهای است که برای توجیه قتلعام مردم غزه به کار بردند: القای این دروغ که از این اماکن به عنوان سپر انسانی یا برای پنهانسازی ادوات نظامی استفاده میشود.
تکرار این دروغها فقط خیانت نیست؛ تسهیل و توجیه کشتار غیرنظامیان و مشارکت و مباشرت مستقیم در جنایات جنگی است.
