Iran is currently Paul Atreides standing on top of the pre-spice mass with the Water of Life threatening to bring all travel in the empire to a halt
I know this is nerdy but trust me this is the perfect analogy
I can't get over the fact that Dune is about an oppressed people fighting for their homeland, waging a jihad to bring down a hegemonic empire by threatening to cut off the flow of their most precious commodity after the empire had assassinated their religious leader's father.
For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.
After looking at the state of the Muslim world, I have come to this realization: Pakistan is the cleverest and meanest of them all. It survived decades under dictatorship, endured Shia Sunni conflicts and the Taliban, was attacked by a nuclear state and still managed to embarrass that country, became allied with both sides of the world powers and still managed to make nukes. The sheer resilience and will to outlive everyone, as a 75 year old country, even in rags, has to be appreciated.
Like No, we don’t need anyone’s bases to defend us, We don’t have anything to sell anyone, We are not even homogeneous ethnically or religiously, Most of us can’t even afford electricity, We have turned democracy into a joke, we listen to no spiritual leader or accept any fatwa against nukes or anything that will keep us safe, like a black sheep, but we are still here and we will always be here. #pakistan
Did you know that the composer of the famous Game of Thrones soundtrack is Iranian?
This is a cover of the iconic piece on the Iranian Daf, arranged by Reza Sajjadi and the original composer of this music is Ramin Djawadi 🔥
Notice who is playing it?
Clearly didn’t read history
At India’s independence on August 15, 1947, several Muslim-majority princely states existed under British suzerainty.
- Hyderabad: A major state in south-central India with a Muslim ruler (Nizam) but a Hindu-majority population, it had a significant Muslim minority. Integration: Resisted accession initially, seeking independence or alignment with Pakistan. Integrated into India in September 1948 through Operation Polo, a military action by the Indian Army after internal unrest and stalled negotiations.
- Junagadh: A coastal state in present-day Gujarat with a Muslim nawab but a Hindu-majority population. Integration: The nawab acceded to Pakistan in August 1947, but the decision was contested due to the Hindu majority and geographic isolation from Pakistan. Following a plebiscite and local uprising, Indian forces took control in November 1947, and it was integrated into India after a referendum in February 1948.
- Bhopal: A central Indian state (present-day Madhya Pradesh) with a Muslim nawab and a significant Muslim population. Integration: The Nawab of Bhopal signed the Instrument of Accession in August 1947, joining India after negotiations, influenced by pressure from the Indian government and the state’s Hindu majority.
- Rampur: A state in present-day Uttar Pradesh with a Muslim nawab and a Muslim-majority population. Integration: The Nawab acceded to India in 1949 after negotiations, with the state merging into the United Provinces (now Uttar Pradesh) under India’s integration efforts.

Things to consider when buying any perfume. EDP (Eau de Parfum) has a higher perfume oil concentration (15-20%) than EDT (Eau de Toilette, 5-15%). EDP lasts longer, up to 8 hours or more, compared to EDT’s 4-7 hours.
EDP lasts longer on the skin, often up to 8 hours or more, while EDT usually lasts 4-7 hours. This makes EDT a more practical choice for daily use, while EDP can make a bolder statement.
EDP tends to be more expensive than EDT because of its higher perfume oil content, which also means less frequent reapplication is needed.
