@Mantorgar2 Muy en la línea con tu opinión. Cualquier avance nuclear iraní es visto por Israel como un riesgo existencial. Historia, tensiones y seguridad regional hacen la situación extremadamente sensible.

[Wrap Unscripted @WrapUnscripted]

Calificar el ataque a Irán como legítima defensa no sólo es cuestionable, sino que encubre un uso ilegal de la fuerza que erosiona las bases del derecho internacional.

@Mantorgar2 Un honor viniendo de ti que te haya gustado mi trabajo; de todas formas, me gustaría que siguieras señalando de aquí en adelante cualquier punto débil ya que hay espacio, y en mi caso siempre ganas, para la mejoría. Un saludo.

@hughes_hu @JoaquinCamposR @NievesJemezB @IvanVelez72 @Lenore1789 Hay realidades que las palabras no alcanzan a contar. Muchas gracias compañero.

[hughes @hughes_hu]

Con motivo de su nuevo libro, @NievesJemezB entrevista a @IvanVelez72; @JoaquinCamposR escribe desde la frontera de Irán (reportaje con buenas fotografías dd Mar Mas) y @Lenore1789 analiza el saldo 'guerracultural' de los Oscars. Buen domingo

Iran cannot be reduced to a single narrative.
Not to Western ideals, not to regime projections, and not to simplified geopolitical analysis. It exists at the intersection of competing truths-each incomplete on its own. Iran is the place where all narratives fail at the same time.

[Wrap Unscripted @WrapUnscripted]

@Mantorgar2 Correcto, empecé con Trump y Netanyahu como aperitivo; ahora estoy escribiendo un análisis sobre las diferentes narrativas. Cuando la termine, la compartiré para conocer tu opinión. Los vetos de las grandes potencias muestran que el derecho internacional no siempre protege la paz

@MJose982_ Gracias María, saludos desde las montañas armenias camino de la frontera iraní.

Mount Ararat rises over 5,000 meters, but its weight is not measured in altitude. Visible from Yerevan, though in Turkish territory, it remains a reminder of history, loss, and belonging. For Armenians, it is more than a mountain: it is memory, identity, and an enduring void.

Según mis fuentes,tras la investigación en el lugar de los hechos y según informó @JoaquinCamposR⁩,el capitán Lukman no estaba a bordo aquel día. Ahora se busca esclarecer quién estaba al mando,quién firmó la salida y si respetaron las normas de seguridad https://t.co/WY2HlRpQGR

[War Paws @WarPawsIraq]

Since the war in Iran started we have been inundated with messages and calls about pets being abandoned in Dubai as people flee the country.

We wish we could say this was an isolated incident. It isn’t......

We saw it happen in Afghanistan.
We saw it happen in Ukraine.
And we have seen it over and over again in Iraq over the years.

Now we are seeing it again in Dubai and other parts of the Middle East affected by this war — and unless systems change and attitudes change, we will see it happen again somewhere else in the future.

The reality is that moving animals internationally is expensive. In some cases, it costs thousands of pounds, dollars or euros to get an animal on a flight. Airlines charge extraordinary rates for pets travelling as cargo — it is not unusual for a 25kg dog in a large crate to cost £2,500+ just for the cargo fee. Then add export permits, import permits, customs clearance and other paperwork.

But this is exactly why responsible pet owners should always ensure their pets are ready to move if needed — blood work, vaccinations, paperwork in place, and money set aside.

In a very affluent place like Dubai, where expats are not struggling financially, too often the issue is not ability or lack of funds — it is mindset.

“It will never happen.”
“We’ll deal with it if it does.”
Until it does.

Some owners do try to move their pets and then hit another barrier — transport. They arrive at borders only to be told their animals cannot board buses, coaches or flights. Faced with the prospect of returning to a war zone, self-preservation takes over and the pets are abandoned.

It is something we will never understand.

To us, pets are family........And family is not disposable.

When I left Afghanistan I had a choice — leave my animals behind or stay until they had met the legal requirements to travel to the UK......I stayed.

For three months I lived in a friend's outbuilding with my cats and dogs. I had no job, no income, and had to fundraise the £16,000 it cost to get them home.

Leaving them behind was never going to be an option no matter the situation I was in or how dangerous it was for me to be there.

Some people place their animals into boarding facilities or rescues when they leave, believing the animals will somehow be fine there. Let us be clear — no owned pet enjoys being in kennels or shelters. They miss their family, their home, their routines. They have no idea why the people they trusted, the people they loved, the people who were the centre of their universe have disappeared.

War Paws would love nothing more than to step in and help the rescues currently drowning under the weight of this crisis. But the reality is that our own situation in Iraq means we are powerless to do anything this time. Our resources are already stretched to their limits caring for the animals we have, and we are facing our own eviction. We simply do not have the capacity to extend our reach further right now — no matter how much we wish we could.

Which raises bigger questions......

Should governments and transport providers be required to put better provisions in place so that people fleeing war have viable and affordable options to move their pets?

Should there be emergency quarantine stations at borders where animals can be tested for transmissible diseases?

Should transporters be required to allow animals to travel during humanitarian evacuations?

Should vets be stationed at borders to conduct health checks so animals can travel safely?

And what about accountability?

Most countries require pets to be microchipped and registered — but how often are owners actually held accountable when animals are abandoned?

Right now rescues across the Middle East are overwhelmed with abandoned pets.
Those are the lucky ones — the ones that made it to rescues or were picked up from the streets.

There will be many more left behind at borders who will never be found.

Some veterinary clinics are even seeing owners request euthanasia for their pets before they leave. As distressing as that sounds, there are times when a humane death is the kinder option.

Because one of the worst things imaginable is a once-loved family pet suddenly finding itself alone on the streets — terrified, confused, and with no idea how to survive.

This is not just an animal welfare issue.

It is a human responsibility issue.

@martinvars El debate político sobre sionismo es legítimo si se mantiene sobre ideas, movimientos y decisiones políticas, no sobre personas. Señor Varsavsky, deje de lado la propaganda barata y deje de confundir crítica política con prejuicio. Ni me ofende ni me impresiona su retórica.

[Wrap Unscripted @WrapUnscripted]

@martinvars “Antisemitismo endémico” en España requiere pruebas, no afirmaciones.
“Judío” como insulto es inadmisible.
Pero criticar el sionismo no es antisemitismo: es debate político legítimo.

They are not leaders, but vehicles: powerful elites riding figures like Trump and Netanyahu, like true Nazgûl of contemporary power.

They manipulate us and take us for fools, and it is our own lack of questioning that allows it. | Nos manipulan y nos toman por tontos, y es nuestra propia falta de cuestionamiento lo que lo permite.
