Starstruck! HUGE FANBOY MOMENT. 🫨😱
Randomly found @Hadiqa_Kiani Jee on the flight. WOW. What a fitting end to a great summer trip to Lahore.
I should've told her I think of her as second only to Madam when it comes to women stars of Pakistan.
OMG OMG 💥😬💥🎉🥳
❤️❤️❤️❤️
💯 Psyop all over the place. It appears you've got to filter out close to 90% of everything on X, to focus on remaining for any fair understanding of the situation. Extremely draining though.
I ordered @Azodiac83's "Iran and the Bomb" last week and the delivery date keeps getting pushed. This sort of impatience at this age isn't great but what do I do. I've run out of things to read. Go Amazon, deliver it now. 😭
Order it the day it appeared on https://t.co/gPIIcvSt6k and can't wait to get my hands on it. I'm being as impatient to read it, as I was for "Iran's Grand Strategy" be @vali_nasr.
And finally… the author copies have arrived!
It’s a great feeling to hold the finished book after such a long process.
The Axis of Resistance: Iran, Israel and the Struggle for the Middle East

This is what I've feared from Day-1 about Pakistan pushing too hard to mediate this. None can take responsibility for a toddler, I know it as I've seen three past that age. At this point, I feel Pak may risk it's relationship with Iran and it can't afford 3/4 hostile neighbours.
Drop Site reports, quoting Iranian sources, what many analysts suspected, that is, Iran was told by Pakistan that Trump would lift the “blockade” and extend the ceasefire before talks resumed, yet in practice only the ceasefire was extended, while the blockade remained.
- Observers and analysts, including myself, believe this is the core issue: when positions keep shifting, it becomes very hard for Tehran to calibrate any coherent negotiating stance, because the reference point itself is unstable.
- It also puts Pakistan in a difficult position as mediator. If Washington’s signals change quickly, Islamabad risks conveying messages to Tehran that may no longer be valid hours later, undermining its own credibility, as it happened.
- For Tehran, following Trump’s shifting statements is becoming increasingly difficult, and this is now feeding into a more complicated internal debate. Within the IRGC, this inconsistency is often interpreted not as simple confusion, but as something deliberate, a way to create ambiguity, fuel internal divisions, and shape the conditions for a possible resumption of military pressure.
- In other words, the question in Tehran is no longer just what Washington wants, but whether this unpredictability reflects Trump’s personal style or a more calculated media and negotiation strategy aimed at weakening Iran ahead of a potential new phase of escalation. That ambiguity helps explain Iranian hesitation in recent days.

۱. در میانه جنگ سفر کوتاهی به ایران داشتم و بازگشتم تقریبا همزمان شد با اعلام آتشبس موقت. اینجا مشاهداتم و درآخر برداشتهایم از شرایط را (عمدتا برای دیاسپورای غربتی) مینویسم با این توضیح که برای کسانی که داخل ایران هستند احتمالا هیچ نکته جدیدی وجود ندارد.
@davidvance He was convicted, unlike Israhell where government employees aka IDF soldiers gang raped a prisoners on video, and live freely. Have some shame.
@piersmorgan These fake accusations the West invented to discredit people (like terrorist or antisemitic) no longer work. The global south, even most people in global north can see through it. Cut your losses, save your credibility while you can. Move on from this bullshit.
@mdubowitz If any of that was remotely true, the US wouldn't be sitting down with them. You can fool yourself and idiots who fall for your propaganda but clearly the US and genocidal thug state have had a strategic defeat, forcing them to come to table and will have to give concessions.
@IsraelMFA@sanchezcastejon How's the burning effigy of a war criminal antisemitic? You lot need to calm the fuck down with your antisemitic accusations before it becomes over used (it already is) and irrelevant - and everyone stops giving a fuck about it.
@owenjonesjourno WHAT?! Is the noseman now a son of Cyrus somehow? Iranian diaspora is the most wild uncouth irrelevant uninformed and vile people - second only to USraelis.
@TurgayEvren1 I visit Turkey every year. In Dalaman right now on my 17th trip. Here are 200 common words in Turkish and Urdu that I have collected but there are many more @TurgayEvren1

@YossiGoldstein8 Don't worry about our shit. You worry about the dying US empire and you being an orphan soon. With the whole wide world hating you for your genocidal crime, think of the time you wouldn't have a place to take a shit you moron.
