After all these years, I just know one thing, that I know nothing!

[Marwa Osman || مروة عثمان @Marwa__Osman]

They bombed our homes. They reduced entire neighborhoods to rubble. They murdered our children, our parents, our journalists, our medics, and they believed fear would accomplish what decades of war could not.

Today, the answer came from Dahiyeh (Beirut Suburbs).

Not hundreds. Not thousands. But a sea of humanity, well over a hundred thousand souls, filling the streets to commemorate Imam Hussein (AS), the eternal symbol of dignity in the face of tyranny.

This is what the enemies of Lebanon will never understand.

You can destroy buildings, but you cannot destroy belief.
You can assassinate leaders, but you cannot assassinate a cause.
You can rain bombs upon our cities, but you will never extinguish the spirit of Karbala.

Every black banner raised today declared that Hussein's revolution is alive. Every step taken by these mourners proclaimed that oppression, no matter how heavily armed, will never triumph over a people who have embraced sacrifice with open hearts.

And to those among us who chose the side of the Zionist aggressor over their own people, who echoed the language of those who bombed Beirut, the South, the Bekaa, and every corner of Lebanon, you stand on the wrong side of history. Nations are not betrayed from the skies first. They are betrayed from within.

The people answered today.
With faith.
With dignity.
With defiance.
This is Lebanon that refuses to kneel.
This is the legacy of Hussein (AS).
And every tyrant, no matter how powerful, eventually meets the fate of Yazid.

One of the servants of Imam Zayn al-Abidin (AS) asked, O Imam, why do you still weep? What is it that makes your heart bleed day and night? The Imam replied, My dear, Prophet Ya'qub (AS) wept so much for his son Yusuf (AS) that he lost his eyesight, even though he knew that

Some people spent so much of their lives trying to survive that they never got the chance to learn how to swim, speak a foreign language, play an instrument, travel, or simply explore life beyond work and responsibilities. That’s a side of poverty we rarely talk about.

Israel should be invaded by a UN coalition, the idf should be abolished, the likud government dismantled, around the clock trials initiated at the Hague, and only when israel can abide by universal ethical standards should a self governing federated government with universal rights be re-established thus ending the apartheid ethno-state. Genocide has consequences.

Someone should colonize the UK. These people are clearly are not ready for self governance and maybe one day develop towards a dominion status.

You all know about the American debate on the MoU debate. But I wrote about the Iranian debate.

Let me know what you think!

Pakistan’s aspirations in Africa are growing, but its ability to realize them remains constrained by economic weakness, dependence on external financing, and the shifting priorities of its most important allies. https://t.co/Cdeb9M5GhK

Why there will be no final Iran–US deal?

Surprised? Especially coming from someone who, throughout this crisis, was accused of being overly optimistic. I was optimistic only to the extent that both sides would exit the war through an interim understanding.

There were reasons for that reading. President Trump made a major miscalculation by trusting Netanyahu and walking into a war he did not fully control. Once Washington realised the scale of that mistake, the instinct was to get out of the hole.

But exits like that are never clean. You don’t just walk out of a war...you need a piece of paper to legitimise the exit. In this case, that paper has effectively come in the form of the Islamabad MoU.

There may still be a few rounds of talks ahead, but I don’t see any real breakthrough beyond that. And the reason is simple: if you look closely at the MoU, it is almost too good to be true. The interim arrangement is heavily tilted in Iran’s favour. Washington accepted it largely out of urgency to disengage, not to resolve.

But that is exactly why a final deal becomes politically and strategically difficult. Any implementation leading towards a durable settlement would, in effect, embolden Tehran further.

That is not something Israel can accept and even within the Gulf, there are fewer takers for that trajectory than it may appear.

Because let’s be honest..if Iran, under sanctions and diplomatic isolation, has been able to challenge its adversaries across the region, the question of what it could do with fewer constraints is not lost on anyone.

And despite everything, there has been no fundamental shift in Iran’s system or ideology. That remains the core concern for its adversaries.

So what happens next?

My reading is simple. After both sides step back from the brink, there will be intermittent rounds of talks, occasional signalling and managed engagement. But gradually, the momentum will fade. The familiar pattern will return....blame games, mutual accusations and strategic containment.

No direct war, perhaps. But also no grand peace. Just a return to the old equilibrium: Iran continuing to push its regional posture while the US and its allies rely on a mix of diplomatic pressure and economic coercion to keep it in check.

Iran has now published its version of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding through the official IRNA news agency.

The two texts are largely identical, but there are some differences in wording and emphasis:

• Title:
🇮🇷 “Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding on ending the imposed war by the United States and the Zionist regime against Iran.”
🇺🇸 “Memorandum of Understanding Between the United States of America and the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

• Paragraph 1 (Lebanon):
🇮🇷 parties will “guarantee” Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
🇺🇸 parties will “respect” Lebanon’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

• Paragraph 4 (shipping):
🇮🇷 vessel traffic shall be maintained at levels proportional to pre-war traffic volumes, “as determined by the Islamic Republic of Iran.”
🇺🇸 vessel traffic shall be progressively restored toward pre-war levels.

• Paragraph 5 (Strait of Hormuz):
🇮🇷 says it will discuss the future administration of the strait with Oman and “consult” other Gulf states.
🇺🇸 says Iran will engage with Oman and other Gulf littoral states.

• Paragraph 8 (nuclear):
🇮🇷 Iran will not “produce or acquire” nuclear weapons.
🇺🇸 Iran will not “procure or develop” nuclear weapons.
The Iranian text also refers to Iran’s “nuclear needs.” 

• Paragraph 10 (oil exports):
🇮🇷 crude oil, “petrochemical” products and derivatives.
🇺🇸 crude oil, “petroleum” products and derivatives.
“Petrochemical products” is broader and includes chemicals and industrial feedstocks beyond refined fuels.

Slutshaming a child after her murder is not new to Pakistan. You are all accomplices.

[Umair Haider @umair_haider]

Dear @HamiltonPolice, Muhammad Khalilullah (aka Khalil Jughooru), a Canadian citizen and resident of Stoney Creek, has been sharing hateful content and promoting Islamic extremism. He recently made a post celebrating the murder of a 17-year-old girl in Islamabad, Pakistan. This matter requires urgent attention. Here are the details:
Full Name: Dr. Muhammad Khalilullah

Her rich parents didn’t prevent her from having a good moral compass; you should try that too.

Tell that to the parents who lost their little kid in Bahawalpur, or to the widow and orphans of Sq Ldr Usman, or the parents of the little girls bombed in Balochistan, and the list hasn't even started yet.

People are talking about Pakistan’s solar boom only in terms of cost and increases in loadshedding. But have you noticed the off grid rural adoption? I remember during the floods how every single tent had a solar panel in front of it. Absolutely unprecedented and so cool!

Now that we are at the stage of watching Palestinians being caged like fucking cattle, the reputation laundering has started. Only took you cowardly bastards 20 months and thousands of burnt babies to sign a letter to absolve your guilt. And some of you once defended this.
