@NoorPahlavi@kamangir31 Notice how she (daughter of a cuck pretender “shah”) omitted why they were sentenced to death. They murdered police officers by setting them on fire.
Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg explains how Britain, which has a combat ready military force about half the size of New York’s police department, must prepare for war with Russia.

🇮🇷 Kpler’s data on Iranian oil exports is suddenly under a microscope after attention turned to the politics of one of its most prominent Iran analysts.
Homayoun Falakshahi, who leads Kpler’s crude oil analysis team, uses Iran’s pre-1979 Pahlavi-era flag on his X profile, which has prompted questions about his political sympathies and the perceived neutrality of Kpler’s Iran coverage.
He has also been a key voice behind Kpler’s claim that Iranian crude loadings fell to zero in September under the U.S. naval blockade.
That doesn’t make the numbers wrong. Other tanker trackers, including Bloomberg and Vortexa, have also reported a halt in Iranian loadings.
But when politically sensitive, market-moving data relies heavily on analysts with openly held views on the country they cover, people are inevitably going to start asking harder questions about neutrality.

Hey @grok, concise no spin.
Which country was accused of injecting Ethiopian women with long-lasting contraceptives WITHOUT their informed consent, robbing them of the choice to have children?
Country only.
This was in Amsterdam. All she said was "Free Palestine" at a pro-Israel rally. She was arrested within a second.
I have seen hundreds of videos of Palestinian protests being disrupted by pro-Israeli activists. Not once have I seen them be arrested for simply shouting a slogan.
What is it about these two words, "Free Palestine," that terrify so many in the West? The echo of complicity?
According to an informed federal official, in the coming months the Trump administration plans to send a total of 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to the government of Israel. Each bomb weighs 2,000 pounds. This appears to be the largest transfer of conventional explosive ordnance from the United States in modern history.
How big is this shipment? It amounts to 40,000 tons of bombs. For perspective, the largest American air raid of World War Two was the Eighth Air Force’s attack on Berlin in March of 1945. Combined, the 2,023 Allied aircraft involved dropped about 3,000 tons of bombs. That’s 7.5 percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. That same month, March of 1945, the US Army Air Forces began the single most destructive bombing raid in human history, Operation Meetinghouse over Tokyo. More than 100,000 Japanese civilians were killed. By the end of that operation, the US had dropped 1,600 tons of bombs. That’s four percent of what Trump is sending to Israel. World War Two ended five months later, when the US dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Hiroshima. The shipment Trump is sending to Israel amounts to more than three times the destructive power of that nuclear explosion. There is no precedent for what the Trump administration is doing.
Nor is there a justification. The government of Israel is not fighting World War Two, or even a war. It is engaged in periodic skirmishes with a guerrilla force in Lebanon, and it is working to exterminate an unarmed civilian population in Gaza. Neither front requires modern 2,000-pound bombs.
An American-made Mark 84 has a destruction radius of half a mile. It releases a thermal wave the temperature of the surface of the sun. Within 100 feet of the explosion, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The bomb collapses apartment buildings and leaves craters thirty-five feet deep. Until the war with Iran, the US military generally avoided using the Mark 84 in urban areas. It kills too many civilians.
For the Netanyahu government, that’s been the upside. In the weeks after October 7, the IDF dropped nearly six hundred 2,000-pound bombs on densely populated areas in Gaza, including on more than 100 officially designated civilian evacuation zones. The slaughter was so grotesque and embarrassing that for a moment the Biden administration paused a shipment of Mark 84s. Those shipments quickly resumed under Trump. Now they’ve accelerated.
It’s hard to overstate the scale of the crime the Israeli government is committing in Gaza. Over the last three years, more than a quarter-million Palestinians have been killed or wounded by Israeli forces there. The majority of them have been noncombatants: women, the elderly and tens of thousands of children. Many thousands more remain missing, presumably entombed under the rubble of 200,000 collapsed buildings. So far the Israelis have destroyed 92 percent of all homes in Gaza, and 34 of the 36 hospitals. By comparison, the 1945 Allied bombings of Dresden, now acknowledged as a war crime, destroyed about half of the city’s inhabited buildings.
By any definition, what the Netanyahu government has done in Gaza is genocide. The 40,000 new bombs the Trump administration is sending will be used to do the same in Lebanon, and likely in other countries in the region. If you wanted to extend the Iran war into the indefinite future, this is exactly what you’d do.
So far none of this has received public scrutiny. At some point, inevitably, it will be described in media accounts as an “arms sale.” It is not an arms sale. It is a gift, funded by American taxpayers through the Foreign Military Financing program, an arrangement designed to disguise welfare as capitalism: Congress appropriates money to the executive branch, which transfers the cash to Israel to “buy” American-made weapons, in this case from General Dynamics. Politicians claim this is a win for America. Most voters have no idea they paid for it. The bill in this case is about $3 billion. Add that to the $352 billion the US Treasury has transferred to Israel since 1951.
How did this happen? The request for 40,000 new high-explosive civilian-killing bombs originated at the US Embassy in Jerusalem, which is run by Christian Zionist Ambassador Mike Huckabee and his aide David Milstein, who is the stepson of Fox News host Mark Levin. From there it moved to the State Department, where Marco Rubio enthusiastically approved it.
At this point, only four more people need to sign off before the bombs ship to Israel: Senators Jim Risch and Jeanne Shaheen, the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee; and Congressmen Brian Mast and Gregory Meeks, the top two members of the equivalent House committee. All four are committed neocons. Collectively they’ve taken millions from the Israel lobby. In 2015, Brian Mast traveled to Israel to volunteer for the Israeli military. In 2023, Mast showed up in the House of Representatives wearing an IDF uniform.
It’s hard to imagine any of them hesitating before sending more free bombs to Israel. Only public outrage can stop this.
@nypost It quite literally says in your own article she is been sentenced to death for working with external security agency and photographing sensitive military sites and sending them. Your article is misleading at best.
@iranidaturan Another delusional take from a pahlavist. The Houthis are only targeting Saudi ships. How does that affect consumer goods of China or Europe ?
Did anyone catch Tommy Robinson’s interview with a door last night? He pretended I was behind it. Tense stuff. Thankfully, the door gave nothing away...
Watch: Tommy Robinson: Where’s The Money Gone? Dispatches

After the Andrew Tate saga, I decided I hadn't had enough of being called a soyboy. So I've made a new film investigating Tommy Robinson. This wednesday. Channel 4. 10pm.
This image was sent to me from the field. These are messages US servicemen in the Persian Gulf have scribbled on the dust of an aircraft flap.
"Be a good guy and do what Israel tells you to"
"Operation Epstein Fury"
"Peace deal #64 incoming... ALL THIS FOR THE HOLY LAND"
I have no frame of reference, I can't compare it to the sentiments of US soldiers in previous conflicts. But I suspect these are new sentiments, or at least a new willingness to express them this openly and directly.
But as one serviceman told me: "What people in the media don't understand when they compare past conflicts to this one, is this operation has no morale behind it. That makes a world of difference to service members deployed to undesirable locations indefinitely."
Read that last part again: No morale. Deployed to undesirable locations INDEFINITELY.
My own conclusion: When a war has no morale behind it, winning means that you simply end it. There is no other "winning" in such an unjust war.
According to @JuliaHB1, a person is British if they:
- Speak English
- Believe in the law
- Believe in equality for women and homosexuals
- Believe people should be allowed to “worship who they want”
- Don’t shut down debate
That is absurd.
For almost the entirety of our history, our people have actively opposed most of these values. They came into fashion five minutes ago, and will be forgotten just as quickly - yet the British people will remain, because our identity is not a defined by trendy liberal values.
She refuses to answer whether Britain would be the same if all White British people were replaced by Pakistanis and Somalis who believed in these values - probably because if she took her argument to its logical conclusion, she would have to say “yes.”
That is where this line of thinking leads. How anyone can take it seriously is beyond me.
The Greater Manchester result showed what Restore Britain can deliver.
The next step is how we maximise the chances of delivering the change Britain needs - it means putting personal differences aside.
That is why today I am making a public offer to Nigel Farage and Reform UK.
Don’t fall for the fake Fox/GOP outrage. Two weeks ago the House passed a bill that greenlighted the transfer of Spanish territory to Morocco. Every Republican except me voted for it, but now THEY are acting shocked at the invasion.
