I am relieved that Iran has finally fired back at Israel.
The impunity with which Israel constantly violates the ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza has to end.
Iran is standing up for all of humanity against the zionist supremacists.
🇺🇸🇨🇳 Jimmy Dore says China is better than the USA:
"In China, the government sits above capital. The economy works for the people. Here, capital sits above government. The economy works for billionaires."
🚨🚨Just in case you missed it. Here is Benjamin Netanyahu in his own words, thanking Congress for implementing “his plan” to take over the US military and intelligence services..🚨🚨
🚨🇪🇺🇦🇲 Macron: Russian interference in Armenia’s elections is MASSIVE.
If it favors Russia, EU may reject the result.
Translation: "If it's pro-EU, it's democracy. If it's pro-Russia, it's foreign interference."
Reminder: Iran did NOT “attack” Israel.
Iran responded to Israeli strikes on Beirut, after warning Israel in the strongest terms for days not to escalate.
IRAQ football STAR Aymen Hussein INTERROGATED for 7 HOURS
Held and questioned before being allowed into US for World Cup
‘Why America hosting World Cup if so hostile to foreign nationals?’
Iran’s national football team should retain lawyers and take @FIFAcom to the Football Tribunal or the Court of Arbitration for Sport for violating its obligation to provide World Cup tournament teams with equal conditions in the US.
If Iran’s team has to sleep in a different country on every game day, ALL TEAMS should endure the same conditions. It’s only fair.
Sue the bastards. It’s the American way.

@Mbakaza4L@gueatcn I can never see Apple products as is from now. With Israel starting to produce chips for Apple phones, I think that will be the last straw.
🚨🇱🇧 ISRAEL BOMBS BEIRUT
7 are dead after IDF strikes on Beirut’s suburbs Dahieh.
Trump told Israel NO, and Iran said it was a RED LINE.
Israel did it anyways.
Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Iran has launched a series of missile attacks on Israel, after Israel went on bombing Beirut. The West will now blame Iran for violating ceasefire but it was silent when Israel kept on bombing Lebanon and killing Lebanese civilians despite a ceasefire.
🇮🇷🇹🇷 Embajada de Irán en Turquía: "Negar visados a miembros del equipo es la peor forma de injerencia política en el deporte."
Si esto lo hiciera Rusia, el Mundial estaría cancelado. Pero lo hace EEUU, con Irán, y no es noticia.
La hipocresía de Occidente.
No country should be allowed to host the World Cup while imposing discriminatory rules on qualified and participating teams.
This ought to be a very basic requirement.
@straits_times What are the cost drivers, just say it... Rental !!! Capitalist landlords or middleman not producing anything gets the benefit, every contract renewal is a make it or break it moment. It is out of hand.
Most Moral Army in the World in the last 24 hours:
- Shot a baby in the head
- Beat up a random man in a pogrom
- Bombed Lebanese soldiers hours after announcing a truce
- Whistleblower admits they mostly kill unarmed people
And now Congress wants to merge our two militaries
