Israel is a period of time, not part of a geography!

Marjan Yeshayaei, a member of the Iranian Jewish community, says I asked the rescue workers not to use machinery to preserve the holy texts. _At a synagogue bombed by the US and Israel_
When I made this request, I didn’t think they would accept it, but they said, “Okay, we’ll remove the rubble by hand,” and that’s exactly what they did. Every single brick was removed by hand, and the holy scrolls came out intact and were handed over to the Jewish community.

The respect that religious Jews have in Iran is absolutely not enjoyed in the occupied territories.

Trump and his family gain profit from both sides!

According to The New Republic, the two sons of the US President, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump, are involved in a large deal related to the defense and mining sectors through investment companies and intermediaries.
The deal includes a drone company that recently received contracts from the US military (Air Force), as well as a large tungsten mining project in Kazakhstan that is linked to strategic resources and US government financial support.
Critics say these activities could be an example of a conflict of interest, since these contracts were made during their father's presidency and his family indirectly benefits from projects that are connected to the US government.

1 out of 4 American farmers have not secured any fertilizer for their spring plantings.
No fertilizer. No crops. No food.
Farm bankruptcies to rise 46% in 2025.
160,000 farms have been closed since 2017, and the war with Iran has accelerated the trend.
Less than 50% of American farmers will make a profit this year

Shockwaves in the oil market: real-world prices are skyrocketing.
While official global benchmarks remain around $100–$110 per barrel, reports suggest physical oil prices have surged far higher.
According to those reports, real-market trades are happening around $140–$150 per barrel and there are even claims that Singapore and Sri Lanka paid as much as $210 and $286 per barrel due to supply shortages.
Analysts warn that if this continues alongside regional tensions, the global economy could be heading toward a recession.

She exposed a memo that could’ve helped stop the Iraq War.
In January 2003, Katharine Gun was working as a Chinese translator at Government Communications Headquarters when she received a classified email that changed her life.
The message asked Britain to help the U.S. spy on private communications of UN Security Council members whose votes on Iraq were seen as crucial.
The goal? Gather leverage, pressure those countries, and tilt the vote in favor of war.
Gun printed the email and leaked it to a journalist.
In March 2003, the memo was published triggering major backlash and raising serious questions about the legitimacy of the Iraq War.
She was later charged and faced prison time.
But in 2004, the case was abruptly dropped, because continuing it risked exposing that even the British government’s own legal advisers had doubts about the war’s legality.
So the case quietly disappeared.
Her leak is now seen as one of the most courageous whistleblowing acts in modern history.

An Israeli analyst claims Saudi Arabia offered major concessions in exchange for normalization with Israel, including covering $100 billion in war costs and guaranteeing oil transfers through a pipeline to Ashdod.
According to the claim, the request to both the U.S. and Israel was simple: finish Iran once and for all.

Who’s taking these perfectly cinematic, Hollywood-style photos in moments like this?

Pete Hegseth rushes past reporters, visibly tense.
He disappears behind the scenes and suddenly, everything changes.

One American journalist managed to capture the moment.

This isn’t how security forces operate.
This isn’t how militaries operate either.
It looks like a staged event with a terrible script and cameras conveniently positioned in advance.
At a dinner packed with journalists, seemingly ready not just to film the scene, but to document their own fear and “near-death” experience too.

توییت مشترک رئیس‌جمهور، رئیس‌ مجلس و رئیس قوه قضاییه‌ی ایران:

در ایران ما تندرو و میانه‌رو وجود ندارد؛
همه ما "ایرانی" و "انقلابی" هستیم و با اتحاد آهنین ملت و دولت، با تبعیت کامل از رهبر معظم انقلاب متجاوز جنایتکار را پشیمان خواهیم کرد.
یک خدا، یک رهبر، یک ملت، و یک راه؛ آنهم راه پیروزی ایران عزیزتر از جان.

Joint tweet by the President, Speaker of the Parliament and Chief of the Judiciary of Iran:

In our country, Iran, there are no extremists or moderates. We are all Iranians and revolutionaries, and with the unity of the nation and a strong government, and complete obedience to the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, we will make the criminal aggressor regret his actions. One God, one nation, one leader, and one path, the path of victory, which is more precious than life.

I told you earlier that Trump has dedicated a room in the White House called the "Office of Faith" to his religious advisor, Paula White Kane.
But let's face it, she's an exorcist
She's doing mass exorcisms in this megachurch!!!
Trump is being led by demons.

Today's closure of the Strait of Hormuz after Trump's rants yesterday has literary ruined his face in the media.
Now everyone is calling him a liar

An old man whose house was bombed by America invites a reporter to host him with what little remains of his house!

These are the roots of our civilization that have kept Iran alive.
Self-sacrifice and altruism; exactly what Western civilization is devoid of and deprived of.
A caterer; a caterer in any case.
