🇫🇷🇮🇱- Ancien ambassadeur d’Israël, Avi Pazner raconte le jour où Jacques Chirac a dit en face, à Netanyahou :
« Je ne crois pas un mot qui sort de votre bouche. Toute votre politique consiste à provoquer les Palestiniens.»
- Le temps des hommes d'État en France est loin.

@hmajd I doubt that even occupying the entire coastline of Iran could safely reopen shipping. IRGC could launch drones from anywhere in the country and hit ships in the strait.

A guy went to the doctor, who gave him 6 months to live. He couldn't pay his bill, so the doctor gave him 6 more months:

Trump extends deadline for Iran to open strait of Hormuz by 10 days https://t.co/NjmLUUqLFX

@hmajd 1- Of course, you're right re Trump. 2- What makes this guy think that Iran would be changing its ideology if/when it makes a deal? Their ideology is their ideology, deal with it

A supermarket in Iran put up a sign:

"It's not a problem. If you need something, take it. After the war you can pay for it."

Iranians have never been more united.

@hmajd Collusion and collaboration with foreign armies attacking the country are the surest way to lose credibility with the people of Iran. Of course, the monarchists had so little of it to begin with that sinking lower won't really make a difference. Same goes for MEK freaks.

Iranian-Americans typically hate the Islamic Republic but are coming to realize that Trump's and Netanyahu's bombing is destroying Iran without producing regime change. https://t.co/xUQjFaeB6h

U.S. missiles that hit Iran likely were fired from Gulf countries that have taken the brunt of Iranian drone and missile attacks—although none acknowledges allowing use of their land or airspace https://t.co/HEEF8hOZZo

In Tehran, residents are making traditional New Year’s meal (herb rice and fish) to hand out to rescue workers.

UAE citizens constitute about 10% of its total population, which is mainly composed of workers and indentured servants from developing countries. As with other Persian Gulf family dictatorships, the UAE's army is really a Palace Guard, not a national defense force, but OK.

Absolute bombshell. Mearsheimer reveals Trump secretly allowed Iran to sell its oil to keep global prices under 100 dollars. But Israel intentionally bombed Iranian gas fields to ruin the plan, sending prices skyrocketing and destroying the US economy.

If you ever feel dumb and stupid, remember that Qatar gifted a luxary $400 milion 'flying palace' plane to Trump and Trump used Qatar as a human shield in the war with Iran.

I don't know who is behind attack on Bushehr NPP in Iran — Rosatom chief Likhachev

'What I can say is that the American and Israeli military leadership have the coordinates of the operating reactor

We're asking them to rule out any possibility of a nuclear incident there'

[Annmarie Hordern @annmarie]

WSJ: Arab governments were furious about Israel’s attack and the U.S. failure to head it off, officials said. They had aggressively lobbied the Trump administration to stop U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure and now feel a target has been put on their backs, they said… America’s Arab allies are now fuming that they don’t seem to have any influence with the Trump administration despite heavy investments of time and money.
