MENA & Geopolitics, Iran interested. Dabbling in security. @SOAS & @Uni_MR Alumnus. Former President of @Polis180. Also on BlueSky. Views my own.

The UN must open the Strait of Hormuz for us - Rubio

"What is the purpose of the UN?! The UN was supposed to be a place where you could peacefully resolve global conflict." 🤷‍♂️😎

“We are taking it to the UN”.

The US condemned the UN for years, because the UN wanted to peacefully resolve conflicts, and objected to American and Israeli wars.

The US must be in dire straits (pun intended) if they now beg the UN for help.

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has directed the military to expand control of Gaza, amid continued violations of the ceasefire that took effect in October. Israeli forces have continued carrying out near-daily strikes across the territory.

Al Jazeera’s @LinaAbuAkleh explains.

Fake News!

Pro-Israel outlets have been pushing this narrative suggesting Oman is getting closer to Iran. No Royal Decree was signed recently.

There is a clear #subversion campaign ongoing by extended pro-Israel networks that have also captured the (short) attention of Trump

@Kasparov63 Just another case of "very stable genius" in the making. The incubation time is apparently quite lengthy.

George H.W. Bush kept his assets in a blind trust, as did Bill Clinton. Neither Obama nor Biden traded stocks or bonds while in office. 3,700 trades is probably more than all the trades of all the presidents until now. And he is trading stocks that are affected by his decisions. A walking conflict of interest, at the least, and perhaps insider trading. Just as members of Congress should not be able to trade stocks, so too the president. https://t.co/yDqVXWfDgc

I somehow missed it, when it happened, but since CNN uploaded this recently:
Apparently Russia paid for North Korean troop support in Ukraine with nuclear reactors for subs, which are now at the bottom of Spanish waters. https://t.co/WJMKGlPQ5V

Our @nytimes report finds there was a second Israeli base in Iraq's desert. At least one dated back to the June '25 war. Israel chose Iraq for these covert ops due to US role in Iraq's security affairs. The shepherd who exposed the first base was killed.

@Stunnv111854 @KaiMeinecke @ronzheimer Richtig. Und um die Zeit zu erarbeiten, genau dieses zu tun ist die Arschkriecherei in guter Adenauertradition nunmal bis zum Anschlag durchzuführen. Er könnte sich ein Beispiel an Mark Rutte nehmen, der hat jegliche Würde für die europäische Sicherheit geopfert.

@KaiMeinecke @ronzheimer So tief wie es nötig ist, bis die eigenständigen Fähigkeiten wiederhergestellt sind, und die USA in der NATO bei einem Konflikt gegen Russland nicht mehr gebraucht werden.

One thing that appears to work better on non-Iranians than on Iranians: regime propaganda.

This is only the transparent portion of the Islamic Republic’s propaganda budget. Despite the economic crisis, it has not been cut this year.

To Iran, this will be seen as even more evidence that the United Arab Emirates has become a base for Mossad just a few nautical miles off its southern coast. If war breaks out again, Iran will feel even more justified in hammering away at Dubai and Abu Dhabi

Under the leadership of Sanae Takaichi, Japan’s “arms industry is now open for global business,” writes Matthew Finkel. “For Japan’s security, this news comes not a moment too soon.”
