All true, and worth adding that there are essential parts from the United States and Europe in Russian ballistic missiles, too, even newly built ones. Sanctions and enforcement are too weak.

@LVMH_Presse The English version for those who would like to read it.

It is worth the read.

@KevorkAlmassian You never mention the Human Rights abuses taking place in Iran. The arrests, rapes, tortures and hangings. It is shameful.

The average life expectancy of a new Russian recruit—from arrival at a training ground to death in a combat zone—lies somewhere between 10 days and three weeks. Once sent onto the battlefield, they survive an average of 20 to 35 minutes. @peterfrankopan https://t.co/W3UhBerdH0

@KarabakhRecords 33 years ago the evil atheist USSR did this. At other times, they did it to many other peoples. Crimean Tartars, Circassians, etc.

[Karabakh Records @KarabakhRecords]

The forced displacement of the Shahumyan region is one of the significant and painful episodes in the modern history of the #Armenian people. It should be viewed not merely as a separate military event, but as part of the broader process of the depopulation of Northern #Artsakh, which unfolded amid the political, military, and ethnic tensions of 1991–1992.

Historically, Shahumyan was one of the regions with an Armenian population, where stable communities, educational, cultural, and public institutions had been formed. During the collapse of the Soviet Union and the escalation of the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict, the #Armenian settlements of the region came under direct pressure, military operations, and the threat of forced displacement.

The “Operation Ring” campaign carried out in 1991 became one of the key stages of this process. During the operation, with the involvement of Soviet forces and #Azerbaijani special units, armed actions, pressure against the civilian population, and forced displacements were carried out in a number of Armenian settlements. These events created the preconditions for the subsequent depopulation of Armenian settlements in Northern #Artsakh.

In June 1992, military operations against the Shahumyan region led to its complete depopulation. Thousands of Armenians were forced to leave their homes, lands, historical memory, schools, churches, and cemeteries. The displacement became not only a humanitarian tragedy, but also a manifestation of a policy of dispossession and deprivation of homeland.

The events in Shahumyan are important for several reasons. First, they demonstrate how an ethnopolitical conflict can turn into the mass displacement of a population. Second, the depopulation of #Shahumyan shows that the consequences of war are not limited only to military losses; they also include the risk of losing cultural heritage, community life, and historical identity. Third, these events remain an important source for the study of forced displacement and historical memory in the region.

These days, the forced displacement of Shahumyan is remembered as an important fact of the forced displacement and dispossession of the #Armenian population of Northern Artsakh.

[DNI Tulsi Gabbard @DNIGabbard]

Today, I’m releasing never before seen intelligence revealing new evidence of past US government funding for more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries, including Ukraine.

In support of President Trump‘s Executive Order to end federal funding of dangerous gain of function research around the world, and increase transparency and accountability, ODNI will continue working with partners across the Administration to identify where these labs are, what pathogens they contain, and what “research” is being conducted.

[Reza Pahlavi @PahlaviReza]

The revolution in Iran started with the people and it will end with the people and their ultimate victory over the Islamic Republic.

Whatever twists and turns the diplomatic process takes, the fundamentals of the Islamic regime have not changed. Not from the standpoint of ninety million Iranians who have lived under this tyranny for 47 years.

This is a regime that murdered 45,000 innocent protesters in just two days on January 8th and 9th of this year. A regime that is executing young protesters as we speak. A regime that has lost every shred of legitimacy it ever claimed to hold. No ceasefire, no agreement, no formula with the remnants of this regime changes that reality.

The military operations of recent weeks have weakened the regime's repressive machinery and fractured its command structure. The playing field is more level than it has been in decades. The people of Iran welcome this. It is what they called for on the streets of Iran and in the streets of cities around the world, in their millions. They want to see the regime's capacity for repression degraded further.

The Iranian people are determined to bring this regime down. They have had enough. They have always known that ultimately, while they welcome and appreciate international help, they would need to finish the job themselves. Because they will never accept this rump regime, the very same regime and same thugs that slaughtered them in the streets just two months ago.

Ali Khamenei is dead but the regime has not changed, because its nature and its DNA are unchangeable. We see it clearly at this very moment. This criminal cabal is still firing rockets at and violating the sovereignty of our neighbors. It is still threatening the United States and Europe. It is still inviting terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Hashd-al Shabi and others onto our soil to terrorize Iranians and prevent popular protests. It is still holding the people of Iran hostage with an Internet blackout that has lasted for more than one whole month, because it is still afraid of the people of Iran.

It is still afraid of their righteous rage, their demand for dignity, and their fight for freedom. They are afraid because they know the people’s fight will not cease. Nor should the world’s resolve.

This regime, weakened as it is, is not a reliable partner for any lasting arrangement. A wounded animal lashes out. It becomes more dangerous. That is what this regime will do. It is not sitting at the negotiation table out of good will. It is there, yet again, to buy time, to seek concessions, and to strengthen its hand to inflict more terror on Iranians and on the world. It won’t be tamed at the negotiation table, it can only be empowered and emboldened.

The right course is to see this through to its conclusion, to continue to set the conditions for the people of Iran to wage the final battle for liberation. To ensure that when Iranians again come to the streets, the regime is not able to crack down. But even if further help does not come, Iranians will fight on.

The regime will fall. That is a certainty. The only question is when, and how much more terror, blackmail, and suffering the world is prepared to tolerate in the meantime.

A free, democratic Iran restored to its civilizational roots is the only path to stability across the entire region. A country the international community can work with. An end to decades of proxy wars, gas price terrorism, nuclear brinksmanship, and hostage blackmail.

Iranians will not quit. They will not surrender. Mark my words: Iranians cannot be hidden from history. They are making history. Iranians will reclaim their liberty and their nation.

As I have told my compatriots: I hear you. I am with you. The world may be distracted today by the back and forth of diplomatic compromises, but your courage, your sacrifice, and your cries for liberty continue to be seen and heard. And they will not go unrewarded. You will not be forced to accept the remnants of this regime clinging to power. This battle will only end with your liberation.

You, like the other heroes of our history, will be recorded as great men and women who defied an illegitimate, tyrannical regime and reclaimed Iran for future generations.

I am with you until our ultimate victory. Until we reclaim Iran and we rebuild our beloved nation, hand in hand.

The struggle continues. We will see it through.

[Bruno Retailleau @BrunoRetailleau]

Heureux d’avoir échangé avec le prince héritier Reza Pahlavi.

L’Iran, héritier de la grande civilisation perse, ne peut rester prisonnier du régime des mollahs. Le peuple iranien doit pouvoir reprendre son destin en main et retrouver sa liberté.

La France doit tenir une ligne claire, celle de la fermeté face à l’islamisme et le soutien aux peuples qui aspirent à la liberté.

[Siaxares 🇮🇷 🇺🇸 @siaxares]

Video from Dehdasht, Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province — one of the most fiercely anti-regime regions in Iran, deliberately neglected and crushed by the Islamic Republic for decades.

Last night the people of Dehdasht poured into the streets and physically blocked the roads to stop IRGC forces racing toward the pilot’s location. With Iran’s air force practically obliterated, those streets were the only fast route the regime had left to attempt to stop the rescue operation.

Reports from Dehdasht hospital say it is now packed wall-to-wall with wounded and dead IRGC troops and their sympathizers. Good riddance!

This is the real face of the IRGC: a gang of armed thugs who are experts at beating, shooting and terrorizing unarmed civilians, but completely incompetent when they face real resistance or a professional military. Drones and missiles are just buttons pushed from a bunker — that part is easy. On the ground, where it actually counts, they are weak, disorganized and fragile.

If a ground invasion ever comes to Iran, the IRGC will crumble faster than butter on a hot stove. The regime is rotting from within. The people are done waiting.

On September 27, 2023, just before being forcibly displaced from Artsakh, this family stopped at the Holy Mother of God Cathedral in Stepanakert and baptized their newborn.
Now, no more baptisms take place there.

While Germany and Britain intend to welcome the terrorist Jolani as the President of #Syria this week, #ISIS and #AlQaeda terrorists, disguised in Syrian Army uniforms, are attacking the Christian city of Al-Suqaylabiyah in the Hama countryside. They have killed several #Christians in the city, started burning houses and shops, and are looting the properties and assets of the #Christian residents.
