آنچه مسلّم است گریبان جنایتکاران را بایستی گرفت و آنان را به سزای اَعمال مجرمانه‌شان رساند.

[Seyed Mohammad Marandi @s_m_marandi]

Two excellent books to buy and read to understand the media and government lies produced by Western and Arab family regimes in the Persian Gulf about Iran and the Axis of Resistance:

· Going to Tehran by Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett
· Resistance by Alastair Crooke

[Seyed Abbas Araghchi @araghchi]

Shia Muslims revere Imam Hussein as the Master of Martyrs because he sacrificed everything on the plains of Karbala.

Likewise, we will never forget nor forgive the martyrdom of Grand Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei as the Master of Martyrs of the Islamic Revolution of Iran.

Based on OpenSecrets data:

In the 2023-2024 cycle, pro-Israel PACs/groups contributed to 417 House members and 62 Senators.

In the 2022 cycle, all but 33 current Congress members received some funding from these sources (~94%).

Cumulatively/historically, the vast majority of members (well over 90%) have received contributions from broader pro-Israel PACs and affiliated US donors at some point. These are legal domestic donations, not foreign ownership.

Rip to the old world it was nice while we had it.

[Sacramento Sheriff @sacsheriff]

In a nationwide first, a drone was successfully used to disarm an armed suspect, helping bring the incident to a safe resolution.

Sacramento Sheriff’s Special Enforcement Detail (SWAT) had the residence surrounded. The known felon and Parolee-At-Large was seen earlier with a firearm. After not responding to negotiators, a drone was deployed inside the residence. Drone pilots located the suspect hiding in a corner of a garage. One of his hands was concealed under his body, and the other was holding a knife. He was obviously alive, but not responding. Was he pretending to be dead or simply lying in wait for deputies to approach?

Rather than rush into a potentially deadly encounter, one drone pilot came up with an innovative solution. By attaching a powerful magnet to the drone, the pilot was able to safely remove the knife from the suspect’s hand before deputies moved in. It was an incredible display of creativity, skill, and precision by the drone pilot.

It’s also worth noting that our drones are labeled as “military equipment” (even though anyone can purchase them at their local Walmart), but are really just another piece of technology helping deputies resolve dangerous situations safely. Their use protects both law enforcement personnel and suspects.

“I carry with me a photo of a Muslim child who, during my visit to Lebanon, was standing there holding a sign that said ‘Welcome, Pope Leo,’ and in this latest phase of the war, he was killed.

“There are many human situations like this, and I believe we must have the ability to think in this way.

“And as a Church, I say again: as a pastor, I cannot be in favor of war.

“I would like to encourage everyone to make efforts to seek answers that come from a culture of peace, not of hatred or division.” — Pope Leo XIV

Tireless Pakistani and Qatari mediation has delivered major progress to end Lebanon War. Oil and petrochem exports are waived, blockade lifted, some frozen assets released, and major reconstruction & development plan launched for Iran.

1st real test: Lebanon deconfliction cell

[MenchOsint @MenchOsint]

Trump says "We'll hit Iran very hard again, just like we did last week".

In retaliation to last week attacks, Iran destroyed a costly Long Range Radar in Bahrain, another one in Kuwait and other US facilities in Bahrain/Kuwait.

I doubt threatening Iran is a good strategy...

[Drone U @theDroneU]

Major drone industry shakeup as @ExynTech released @SkydioHQ level autonomy for a fraction of the price.
The industry wars are here.
Remember competition is great for pilots.

Lebanese turtle conservationist killed by Israeli strike https://t.co/9aF4neqstO

[Tomas Orpington @TomasOrpington]

@sentdefender @_MartinKelly_ Israel killed 47 people in Lebanon yesterday - right in the middle of the 'ceasefire.'

If Hezbollah had killed 47 Israelis instead, it would dominate headlines across the world.

When Israel does it, Western media barely bats an eye.

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

Pope Leo XIV says that the Catholic Church’s teaching on sexual ethics must be less prioritized over “greater, more important issues.”

“We tend to think that when the Church is talking about morality, that the only issue of morality is sexual. And in reality, I believe there are much greater, more important issues, such as justice, equality, freedom of men and women, freedom of religion, that would all take priority before that particular issue.”

You guys fired at over 150 targets in Lebanon last night?

[Israel Defense Forces @IDF]

‼️⭕️REPEATED CEASEFIRE VIOLATIONS: Hezbollah launched 50+ projectiles toward IDF soldiers operating in southern Lebanon.

In order to remove threats & in response to Hezbollah’s blatant violations, the IDF struck dozens of Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites & terrorists in southern Lebanon throughout the night.

Ukraine launches TrophyLab: we are opening access to captured Russian weapon technologies for our global partners. Every missile, drone, and vehicle seized on the battlefield is now a source of knowledge for the free world.

Through this secure platform, allied governments, labs, and defense tech manufacturers gain access to deep technical data, reports, and vulnerabilities. Users can also request physical equipment for testing, significantly shortening the development cycle for countermeasures.

What was meant to be the enemy's secret advantage is being dismantled to defend democracy. Join the platform:

This is not a rant by a random genocidal lunatic. It's a public post by the national security minister of the Israeli regime.

The genocidal death cult headquartered in Tel Aviv is a threat to all of humanity. It threatens all humans. Its only interest is permanent war.

Causally talking about regime change

[יאיר לפיד - Yair Lapid @yairlapid]

ביממה האחרונה סגן נשיא ארה״ב התעצבן במסיבת עתונאים על סמוטריץ׳ ובן גביר, שר החוץ סער ניתק את הקשרים עם שרת החוץ של האיחוד האירופי, והנשיא טראמפ אמר שנתניהו מגלה חוסר אחריות בלבנון. אם לא נחליף מהר את הממשלה הזו, יחסי החוץ של ישראל יימחקו

Can we just quit giving Americans’ hard earned money to this blood thirsty war criminal? Peace in the Middle East would follow quickly.

SPCX is only trading 4% of the supply so retail holds the bag at the end of the hold period. Don’t waste your money 💰

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

For the MOU to hold and result in a lasting peace, we must restrict aid to Israel immediately & make it clear that we will not defend them should Iran opt to strike in response to Israel’s attacks in Lebanon.

Israel has not responded to our verbal & written demands—that is not going to change, unless we change it by taking action.

Israel claims sovereignty & continues to threaten our peace deal, yet they rely on us to bail them out. This is calculated.

We have to respond accordingly and stop this cycle once and for all.

Lead with action: remove their leverage, otherwise they will not take us seriously.

An open SOH & peace in the region have to be our focus. Israel is playing spoiler—we must limit their ability to do so.
