@JasonMBrodsky I disagree. Khamenei is surely aware that his death would expedite the rising risk of either an IRGC takeover or popular revolution, both threatening the clerical regime. He only needs to look back to Khomeini to see a leader who projected influence onto Iran from abroad.
Exclusive: The President’s Office tells Faytuks Network that Zelenskyy has not signed Draft Law #12414 yet, but has not ruled it out. The bill threatens Ukraine’s anti-corruption institutions by undermining NABU and SAPO independence, shifting control to the Prosecutor General.
On the instructions of the Deputy Prime Minister/Foreign Minister, Pakistan’s Permanent Representative to UN in New York has informed the President of the UN Security Council, the President of the General Assembly and the UN Secretary General about the blatant aggression by India in gross violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and international law, endangering international peace and security.
UNSC has been informed that Pakistan reserves the right to respond appropriately to this aggression at a time and place of its choosing, in accordance with its right to self-defence as enshrined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter.
"Pakistan strongly condemns India's aggression, which is flagrant violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty, the UN Charter & international law. It has jeopardized regional peace. Pakistan reserves the right to respond as per Article 51 of the UN Charter. We will protect our sovereignty & territorial integrity by all means.
مکار دشمن نے پاکستان کے پانچ مقامات پر بزدلانہ حملہ کیا ہے.
پاکستان بھارت کی مسلط کردہ اس جنگی عمل کا بھرپور جواب دینے کا پورا حق رکھتا ہے اور بھرپور جواب دیا جا رہا ہے.
پوری قوم افواج پاکستان کے ساتھ ہے اور پوری پاکستانی قوم کا مورال اور جذبہ بلند ہے.
پاکستانی قوم اور افواج پاکستان دشمن سے نبٹنا بخوبی جانتے ہیں.
دشمن کو اپنے مزموم مقاصد میں کبھی کامیاب نہیں ہونے دیں گے.
🇮🇷 NYT: The Iranian port explosion was caused by the explosion of containers of solid fuel for missiles imported from China, unclear if the incident was an accident or sabotage
Breaking News: Israel planned to strike Iranian nuclear sites but was waved off by President Trump in favor of a deal, according to administration officials. https://t.co/RE2NPFCVGY
“A deal with Iran will only be completed if it is a Trump deal. Any final arrangement must set a framework for peace, stability, and prosperity in the Middle East -- meaning that Iran must stop and eliminate its nuclear enrichment and weaponization program. It is imperative for the world that we create a tough, fair deal that will endure, and that is what President Trump has asked me to do.”

@CarolinAbrah77@websterkaroon UN fact finding commission classifies them as a minority for the purposes of the report
"The mission received credible information that a significant number of killings...also occurred in East Azerbaijan province, where the Azerbaijani Turk minority primarily resides."
@websterkaroon "Minorities were subjected to particularly egregious forms of torture"
"New evidence reaffirmed earlier established patterns demonstrating that members of ethnic minorities were charged at a higher rate with and convicted of national security offences by Revolutionary Courts,"
@RZimmt How can it be concluded that an interim agreement is the "only viable option," when negotiations haven't even started yet? You are jumping to conclusions based on the incomplete data we have...the "time constraints" aren't visible until we actually see how Trump 2.0-Iran talks go
🇮🇷BREAKING: CNN reports that US officials will meet with Iranian officials in person in Oman on Saturday, despite Iran publicly describing the talks as 'indirect."
