‼️🇺🇦🇷🇺 Le blogueur russe Dmitry Borisenko, suivi par près d’un million d’abonnés, affirme que les discussions autour d’un possible coup d’État armé contre Poutine se multiplient à mesure que la situation intérieure se dégrade.

Cela ne signifie pas qu’un renversement est imminent. Mais le simple fait que ce scénario soit désormais évoqué publiquement par des figures russes aussi suivies montre à quel point le climat se détériore.

Kharg Island isn't just a military target

It is home to a medieval Portuguese fort, religious tombs, and the ruins of one of the oldest Christian monasteries in the world

It also is home to 8,000 people and flocks of wild gazelles

This is what Trump just bombed:

@VittorioPersia @JoosyJew The will of the Iranian people is the Pahlavi? Strange idea. Can you maybe move on, we are in 2026. Young Iranians want a land, a country, a future. Not nostalgia. What are the connections between the son and the people? Wait and see. It might not turn the way you would like.

Will Pres Trump be briefed by his advisors about Iranian history, 1970s? Will he listen? To prevent a recreation of the past if Reza Pavlavhi succeeds in taking over power from the mollahs in the coming days? What if the mollahs were ousted but democracy was confiscated.

Soon you will celebrate freedom together in Iran

My dear compatriots,
Your courage, patriotism and self sacrifice in these days have earned the respect of people around the world and millions across different countries have declared their support for you. I know that those who thrive on darkness, out of fear of hearing your voice, have cut off your channels of communication with the outside world. Your message is louder than anything that can be silenced by such actions. I firmly believe that the epic scenes of your protests will sooner or later break through the wall of censorship and the true dimensions of what you have done in these days will inspire even greater astonishment and admiration worldwide.

The images that have reached the outside world in recent hours amid the blackout of communication tools of the killing of innocent protesters in Iran have broken my heart as a mother. Each child of this nation whose blood is shed revives for me the unbearable grief of losing my own children. I wish patience and strength for the mothers and fathers of Iran and consider myself united with them in mourning. I also extend my heartfelt condolences to all compatriots who have lost their loved ones in this national uprising and I wish health and recovery for the wounded and injured during these days.

At this critical juncture in Iran’s history, once again to the armed forces of Iran remember that the survival of no government and the preservation of no interest can justify the shedding of your compatriots blood. Hear the cry of anger and the roar of the protesters. Before it is too late, join your brothers and sisters and do not tie your fate to that of the killers. The free Iran of tomorrow belongs to your children as well, by spilling the blood of your compatriots, do not destroy your own future and that of your families. Know that the story of these days in our Iran will be recorded forever in the pages of history and disgrace will remain for those whose bullets tore through the chests of their compatriot brothers and sisters.

And in closing: my children, hold on to hope. Be strong and believe that soon you will celebrate freedom together in Iran and that light will prevail over darkness.

Farah Pahlavi

This war in Eastern Congo will eventually reach a point where, when the West calls for a ceasefire or negotiations, no one will listen.

They’ve treated President Tshisekedi like trash, pressuring him to negotiate and sign agreements, then turning around and quietly encouraging Rwanda to keep bombing cities after cities.

The West is creating this kind of situation! I don't know if they think people are very stupid enough to not see which games they are playing!

It is with a heavy heart that I share a grim and dark assessment, which I have been hinting at for a significant amount of time, but have struggled to articulate, and even hesitated to talk about publicly: a terrifyingly large constituency within the Muslim, Arab, and Palestinian-American communities have become far too extreme and radical regarding the issues of Palestine, Gaza, and hatred of the United States and all things Western. Worse, support for and endorsement of Hamas have become mainstream views and can no longer be considered “fringe,” especially within the “pro-Palestine” movement.

Many Muslim and Arab-Americans and their advocacy groups have chosen to become single-issue voters and activists, making Palestine the only rallying cry to mobilize their voters, when numerous other issues and challenges face these two communities. Overt support for Islamism, as CAIR and Linda Sarsour make it clear here in this video, and the aggressive Islamization of the West, is being supercharged on the back of the suffering of the people of Gaza.

I had hoped that support for Hamas among American and European-based Arabs and Muslims would begin to scale back when the war ended, creating some space and margin for introspection, self-critique, and most importantly, recognition that Hamas and violent Jihadi terrorists are not “resistance” or “martyrs” but the fuel for the annihilation of the Palestinian people.

Instead, there is a stubborn unwillingness to offer even the slightest of critique to Hamas and the whole “resistance” narrative, even as Gazans suffer horribly as the group re-establishes its grip on power and control, and the extent of Hamas’s criminality becomes apparent. Worse, many of these “pro-Palestine” personalities are moving on from Gaza entirely, drunk on the recent Mamdani victory, which they view as an extension of their activism and campaigning over the past two years.

It worries me immensely that in the near future, many of the young people involved in what has become the “pro-Palestine” cult in America and Europe will graduate to more violent stages of “activism,” all while worsening the isolation of Arab and Muslim diaspora communities from integrating into their countries of residence and new homelands. I also worry that the Democratic Party will be far too accommodating and tolerant of what are inherently intolerable beliefs, ideas, and actions, all in pursuit of voters who are mobilized by an extreme manifestation of identity politics that has been corrupted with radical academic theories, reckless rhetoric, and slogans.

There is still time to adjust course and reject these trends. However, as long as a confluence of irresponsible Muslim and Arab-American advocacy organizations remains hijacked by extremists and pursues radical audiences for fundraising purposes instead of communal growth, safety, and transformation, there is little hope of change.

Arab and Muslim-Americans are part of this great nation of ours, and many contribute immensely to our country’s success, defense, and prosperity. It is a strategic mistake to tie their fate and future to foreign conflicts, no matter how dear to them, as they adopt extremist and vile slogans and narratives, which worsen divisions and increase cross-community tension and isolation.
