A problem with Left intellectuals in organizing can be summarized by how many dealt with the Guardian statement. Not just a question of politics (big part). Also shows that many aren't willing to take risks in organizing like-minded folk & challenging intellectual adversaries.

"what would international solidarity look like if Iranian revolutionary and abolitionist thought were not merely something the global left stood in solidarity with, but something from which the global left understood that it had to learn?" This is superb

this is the same kind of false propaganda they have been doing for the past two years. Whenever you see something like this published, and it is always sourced to some anonymous officials, they are doing propaganda to cover for decisions that has already been made. Khamenei is a target and they are going to assassinate him soon unless Iran immediately establishes deterrence by not only matching but going beyond what the Israelis and US have done so far.

Target and eliminate top Israeli officials, close the Strait of Hormuz, target Gulf oil infrastructure and US military bases and settlements. They have chosen total state collapse for Iran, and this is the only way to stop it. All these fake leaks, the Trump tweets about a deal, taking responsibility, not taking responsibility, it's all meant for public consumption as propaganda. In the background the decision has already been made. It was made long ago. This is a total war.

the US and Israel did not launch this war to try to eliminate the nuclear sites. They know they can't. They are too well-protected and dispersed and any damage can be reconstituted in the short-term. They launched it to cause total state collapse in Iran, beginning in phases. The first phase was the eliminate the top military and IRGC leaders, while also going after scientists and mass killing civilians in the process.

This would create the false impression that they are still somewhat restrained and focused on military/nuclear targets.

After taking what they expect will be a similarly constrained response from Iran, they will see that as confirmation that Iran will not adhere to its own stated red lines and is still afraid of meeting Israel at the same level of escalation.

That is their green light to proceed to the next phase, which is to target and kill top political leaders, including Khamenei.

Their hope isn't to replace the current government and state with some re-hash of the monarchist Zionist fascist through his failson, they know there is no base of support for that inside the country.

Their hope is to do another Libya and Syria: Unleash proxy forces they fund and arm together with the Gulf "Arab shield" puppet regimes and NATO-Erdogan and turn it into a spiral of death and chaos, a concocted "civil war" where Iranians are paid and armed by the CIA and Mossad to kill Iranians.

The MEK and other such proxy forces have already been trained and prepared and are ready to be activated. They will begin with car bombings and terrorist attacks mass killing civilians. "ISIS" will reappear again and do its typical job for their CIA-Mossad masters.

The US and Israel decided to launch this war since before Trump was elected, and it has the full and total support of the entire US military-intelligence-industrial complex and the media and political class, both Republicans and Democrats and it would have also happened if Kamala Harris won the election (see https://t.co/zys9uwIKzg).

They see Iran and the Axis of Resistance and its alliance with Russia and China as the main obstacle to full and total Zionist US-NATO-Israeli imperial hegemony in the region and by extension the world, and they want to destroy it as it is the only one that unlike Russia and China does not have a nuclear deterrent and they want to get to it before it obtains it.

This is an existential war of survival not just for the Iranian state, but for Iran as a nation.

If this project succeeds, the country will be balkanized, ethnic divisions will be stirred by foreign actors, the CIA and Mossad and the Gulf puppets will fund and arm dozens of proxy death and rape-squads roaming their fiefdoms, tens of millions of lives will be destroyed.

Everything must be done to prevent this. Iran has the weapons to do so. It has the capacity to do so, it is only a question of will. Does it have the will to do what it takes to prevent the mass destruction of their own people and nation. I hope it does. We must all hope it does.

A point of ridicule- from pro-Israel people especially - of the Iranian operation is that no Israelis were killed. This is an incredible admission about their own preference for mass indiscrimate slaughter and shredding of human life. They cannot fathom what actual targetted strikes at military infrastructure look like.

I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:

• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self

Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…

These are foundational movements for building and maintaining shoulder strength and stability.

The key is pausing at the top of each movement.

Use these to warm up and you’ll experience less pain with overhead movements.

On the topic of NUFDI: Recently, a former staffer & current advisor of NUFDI strongly criticized Masih Alinejad, making serious claims, including that she threatened the life of a Reza Pahlavi advisor!

What a sad state Iran's diaspora opposition is in.

Did you know that in Arabic, there are 12 levels of friendship?

For every level of friendship, there is an Arabic word to describe it. From Sadeeq to Khaleel, it is rare to find all 12 levels of friendship in one person.

"Get out of here, you terrorist," said Israeli minister of security Itamar Ben-Gvir, to the mother of a Palestinian autistic boy who was shot dead intentionally by Israeli forces.

Yesterday, an Israeli court acquitted the killer of all charges after fully endorsing his blatantly false version of the events.

Once you scratch the surface of the Taliban's propaganda, there is nothing at all "traditional" or "national" about their movement.

The Taliban is an utterly modern movement, mostly based on 20th-century political ideas and foreign religious teachings.
