We are taken by Time,
The rush of seconds, hours, years that hurls us toward life then drags us toward nothingness...
We inhabit time as fishes live in water.

Potential new Banksy art has appeared in central London. The sculpture shows a man marching with a flag that is draped across his face in Waterloo Place, just off the mall. Although the name Banksy is scrawled along the base, it's still to be officially confirmed as his work.

Certainty is the great enemy of unity.
Certainty is the deadly enemy of tolerance.
Our faith is a living thing precisely because it walks hand in hand with doubts. If there was only certainty, and no doubt...
there would be a no mystery,
and therefore no needs for faith!

If a U.S. ground invasion of Iran were ever to occur, a highly escalatory scenario, it would not unfold randomly.
Rather, geography would dictate the logic of targeting.

Four geographic nodes would likely emerge as focal points:

1. Kharg Island:

Kharg is not just a simple island, it is the bottleneck of Iran’s oil economy. Around 90-96% of Iran’s crude exports pass through it, making it the most concentrated point of economic power and vulnerability. Targeting Kharg would not be about territory; rather, it would be about crippling Iran’s war-financing capacity and economic resilience.

2. Abu Musa, Greater & Lesser Tunbs:

These Iranian islands sit near the entrance of the Strait of Hormuz.
They carry limited economic value (no major oil resources), but high symbolic and geopolitical value. Capturing them would weaken Iran’s prestige and potentially satisfy UAE strategic interests, but would not decisively alter the military balance.

3. Strait of Hormuz (Qeshm, Hormuz, Hengam, Bandar Abbas):

This is the most strategically critical theater. Control here means influence over ~20% of global oil flows. However, this is also the most difficult zone to seize and hold. Iran’s geography, missile capabilities, and asymmetric naval warfare make sustained control extremely costly for any external power.

4. Chabahar–Konarak Axis:

This is the least discussed, but potentially most operationally accessible, entry point. It lacks major oil infrastructure and has lower demographic weight, but also fewer natural defensive barriers. From a purely military standpoint, it may offer easier initial penetration, but far less strategic payoff.

But here is the critical point often overlooked:

Across all four scenarios, Iran’s response would certainly cross escalation thresholds and shift toward targeting regional energy infrastructure. Once core economic or strategic nodes are threatened, the conflict risks moving from calibrated response to survival logic. In that phase, retaliation is unlikely to remain localized. Instead, Iran’s most effective counter would be to expand the battlefield to the Persian Gulf energy system itself, targeting oil terminals, shipping lanes, and infrastructure across the region. And because roughly 20% of global oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz, even Iran’s limited retaliation would lead to spike oil prices, raise war-risk insurance premiums, and disrupt tanker traffic and supply chains. In other words, any of these four entry points would not remain tactical, they would trigger system-wide repercussions on global energy markets.

A ground invasion of Iran would not be decided by where forces land, but by how geography transforms escalation.

Kharg = economic survival
Hormuz = global leverage
Islands = symbolic prestige
Chabahar = operational access
Retaliation = energy war

And that is precisely why any such scenario would be far more global, and far more costly, than it initially appears.

🚨BREAKING: Street Artist Banksy has FINALLY been unmasked 🇬🇧

The artist is Robin Gunningham, 51, of Bristol - he was able to blend in by changing his name to “David Jones,” which is one of the most popular men’s names in the UK.

۵. مبلمان (مخصوصا منسوجات) که در مسیر پرتاب قطعات شیشه و ترکش بوده‌اند رو خیلی خوب بگردید و پاکسازی کنید.
اهمیت این کار اگر در خانه کودک و یا سالمند دارید به مراتب بیشتر و مهم‌تر است.

۴. تایل‌های سنگی و سرامیکی که به وسیله‌ی ملات‌ یا چسب به دیوار (خارجی-داخلی) متصل شده‌اند، امکان دارد که بر اثر موج انفجار دچار کاهش چسبندگی شده باشند. از استحکام آن‌ها مطمئن شوید!
این موضوع مخصوصا در نمای خارجی ساختمان به لحاظ حفظ امنیت عابران اهمیت بسیار بیشتری دارد.
