I fully understand how painful it is for many to watch Iran emerge from this war as a stronger deterrent power and a more influential regional actor than before, capable of fighting on 7 fronts and destroying all US military bases in the Middle East. That reality is difficult to accept for those who expected the opposite outcome after forty days of devastating war.
It is ok. You can be sad.

If there is any comfort to be found, it is that peace is still not around the corner. The region has entered a new phase, but not yet a stable one.

Netanyahu's abject failure: Israelis were told that the post October 7 wars were going to bring total victory and total Israeli hegemony in the ME. Netanyahu even spoke of Israeli global hegemony.
Now, what is he going to tell them?
Israel failed in Iran, and failed in Lebanon, despite the active collaboration of the Lebanese gov.
What now?
Back to martyred Gaza and the West Bank, I fear.

TRUMP: “I’m cancelling tonight’s strikes on Iran bc we have agreed to a peace deal. Full announcement coming shortly.”

IRAN’S RESPONSE: “Trump has claimed 38 times recently that a deal is imminent, so until there’s an official announcement by Iran, his claims are lies.”

Oof. 🤦🏻‍♂️

[Sophia @les_politiques]

How do you call when a negotiating partner refuses to commit to an atom of compromise while you compromise on everything?
Surrender.
And what do you do in order not to surrender? You try to improve your negotiating position.
And how do you improve your negotiating position? First, you do not surrender, and second, you fight back.
The Lebanese president says negotiations with Israel are the only solution, knowing full well that Israel won’t compromise on anything. Aoun also refuses to improve Lebanon’s negotiating position. He, and his PM, condemn and criminalize the only people that can force Israel to compromise and improve Lebanon’s negotiating position: Hezbollah.
Irresponsible. Criminal.

I don't care if people call me an anti-Semite

I do care that Israel is using white phosphorus on civilians

It's my duty as a journalist to make sure the world knows

The new Liberals: bringing in “a massive, business-friendly bonanza of arms procurement and tax cuts, paid for through austerity for health care and other social programs that benefit ordinary people.”
Is that what Canadians voted for?

[China in English @En_chinaNewsX]

Reporter 🇺🇸 : Is the war really about Iran’s nuclear program?

CHINA 🇨🇳 : “No it's all about oil.”

Reporter: Why so?

CHINA: “A warmongering Israel has nuclear weapons, but Iran — the oldest civilization — can’t have them. That’s America’s biggest double standard.”

[Stew Peters @realstewpeters]

LINDSEY GRAHAM: “We should unleash Israel if Iran doesn’t sign a deal right now.”

Thanks, South Carolina, for giving us six more years of this warmongering homosexual.

[Sophia @les_politiques]

Yes, I am sure a deal is ready and Trump has no choice but to sign it. But would he?
Trump can take a defeat and dress it as victory. he is a showman. The problem is Israel. Israel won't let him sign a deal with Iran, whatever the deal is, and Israel will try to drag the US further into this war.

Or you could just sanction and prosecute Israel.

People in the West,are told how Russia is a "backward" and "old-fashioned" society.

But then i see this Russian woman who has just become the first female captain of a nuclear-powered icebreaker.

Then i realize that I was just listening to a fabricated misleading narrative....

[Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 @ejmalrai]

No deal between Iran and the US.

[Sophia @les_politiques]

Netanyahu's message to 'the people of Lebanon' is in English. It's all about international optics, it is not about Lebanon: sending a message of peace while bombing the historic cities in the south to rubble.

The cost of living is already out of control. Corporations don’t need another way to rip off Canadians at the checkout.

The federal government needs to do the right thing and ban surveillance pricing before it drives up prices even more.

Drunk on power. Fascism looks like this…

[Richard @ricwe123]

So apparently the plan is now to bomb Iran and then hope it does what Washington wants.
😂😂😂

Let's be real,that is not strategy,it's arrogance, desperation, and wishful thinking rolled into one.

After all the tough talk, the answer still seems to be the same: use military force, issue demands, and then hope reality bends to political fantasies.
Decades of failed interventions have taught nothing.
The belief that you can bomb a country into compliance is not a sign of strength,it's a sign of intellectual bankruptcy.

Such a reckless and shortsighted approach is the very definition of strategic failure.....

[Elijah J. Magnier 🇪🇺 @ejmalrai]

The deal between the US and Iran is impossible but the ceasefire is becoming difficult.

[Sophia @les_politiques]

True. Lebanese and Iranians standing up to Israel’s savagery should be proud.
Iran had hoped at the start of the genocide that the international community won’t let it happen. But the international community let a genocide happen in Palestine, and war crimes in Lebanon and Iran. A stain on humanity.

Fuck you, @washingtonpost . Amal did not ‘die,’ she was deliberately targeted and murdered after receiving threats from the Israeli army. She was in touch with us, her colleagues, during this situation. We all know exactly what happened. Shame on you for intentionally diminishing the criminality of the actions of the Israeli army with this headline. Shame on all of you and your correspondents in Beirut.

I hope to see you on trial for your propaganda in my lifetime.
