Trump on Egyptian President el-Sisi: "He was in a hotel and I met him. We fell in love, deeply in love ... we didn't know each other before that. We had great chemistry, and I stayed twice as long as I was supposed to."

If the Iranian opposition still has any wits left to its addled brains, it should adopt the Hungarian flag reversed 🇭🇺 as its own instead of the old royalist Shir o Khorshid (Lion & Sun) flag, just for the sake of its legitimacy.
(Or the Westphalian flag, sourced from Reddit.)

“The pope is really doing the Lord’s work here, and I say that as an atheist. There are so few institutions left on planet Earth that have the gravitas, strength, communal network to take on this phenomenon, which is trying to become inevitable and superhuman.” https://t.co/UKt6YdF5n4

The Persian Gulf Strait Authority (PGSA) published an official map of #Iran’s area of supervision over the Strait of Hormuz.

Now the transit through the areas under Iranian armed forces oversight will require coordination with, and authorization from the PSGA.

If you cannot trust a human who is known to be a liar:
Then how can you possibly trust lines of text spit out literally by code running in a server farm thousands of kilometres away, that is also well-known to be a shameless overconfident liar?

When British papers employ journalists stationed in Dubai, the reporters are either at risk of imprisonment for reporting facts or are encouraged to counter UK media narratives that are damaging to the UAE. Don't expect the truth.

Crazy story out of Qatar:

A British couple honeymooned in Doha, where the wife was harassed at the Ritz-Carlton pool by two men who told her she'd "fall in love" after he slept with her.

The hotel gaslit her, with management denying the CCTV backed her story despite their own WhatsApp messages saying the opposite.

Her husband posted a TripAdvisor review calling the hotel "unsafe for women." The hotel got it pulled, then a hotel employee filed a defamation complaint against him under Qatar's cybercrime laws.

Nearly a year later, when he returned to Qatar for work, he was detained, informed he'd been tried in absentia and fined, and then held for four nights in a deportation centre. The deportation order lasts five years, which severely hurts his career as a Middle East healthcare consultant.

In other words, Marriott International, an American company, used Qatari law to silence a complaint about a woman being sexually harassed at their property.

@piersmorgan It is indeed. They have also desecrated churches in South Lebanon—this is not the first time. Yet they keep issuing statements saying this doesn’t align with their values. At what point do we acknowledge that it does?

@elonmusk So, in effect, you're calling for "handout money" like what the far-right in America is saying "communists" are also calling for?

Israel carried out a “triple attack” on health workers in southern Lebanon, killing at least three paramedics.

One of them is Fadel Serhan. We spent days with him and his team earlier this month as they described how they worked in fear of being attacked.

Today, they were.

The ambulances arriving at a main Beirut hospital on Thursday bypassed the emergency room entrance and headed straight for the morgue. There was nothing left to be done for the mangled bodies they carried.
