I've just visited the largest funeral in history, where millions mourned Sayyed Ali Khamenei, the Iranian leader who was assassinated by the US-Israeli coalition along with members of his family

It is practically impossible to understand what this scene is like, or what it means, unless you're here. I've met people from around the world who've come to pay respects, including many from across the West. The crowds pouring in are endless, and grow larger and more intense into the night.

From Tehran's Mosala, there are indignant calls for vengeance, displays of sorrow and defiance, protest, songs and marathons of poetry. These days of mourning will amount to one of the most resonant moments in the history of anti-imperialist movements.

Everyone I've spoken to believes war will return to Iran before long, and none trust the MOU with the US. But they are confident their country can deter another assault. They see their own citizens' mobilization as an integral component of Iran's survival.

If the assassination of Khamenei was designed to spur regime change, his funeral demonstrates how badly it has backfired. And the crime may blow back in ways its historically illiterate authors could have never imagined.

What we're witnessing in the Mosala consolidates the Islamic Republic and its revolutionary society as a political reality that can not be erased through regime change war or sanctions. This is a turning point in the region that will echo for a generation.

Max Blumenthal is in Iran, covering the massive turnout of Iranians for the funeral of Ali Khamenei (and his daughter and granddaughters), and somehow has survived despite being an American Jew.

Almost impossible to imagine crowd sizes this large for a modern-day American leader:

@Israel @Mish_K_ After sniping and killing nuns, desecrating churches and spitting at nuns, these facist terrorists decided it’s time to spread more hasbara

Stop and digest this…

I know it’s relentless and heartbreaking

But don’t just scroll past.

@Zernie_1 @R64447R @Portes_Thomas lol, the video is literally right in front of your eyes. There’s an idf troop that fires shots into a car. The occupants of the car get out and there’s a baby bleeding to death. The idf themselves even issued a statement. Keep believing this ‘gazawood’ nonsense. Connard

This is even more disturbing when you remember Israeli society rallied for the 'right to rape'

Nasıl bugün Hürmüz’deki çözümsüzlüğün bedelini tüm dünya ödüyorsa, şayet İsrail haydutluğunun önü kesilmezse bunun ceremesini de bölgeyle birlikte tüm insanlık çekecektir.

Avrupa’da İspanya’nın gösterebildiği cesaret ve sağduyulu tutumu başka ülkelerin de göstermesi tarihî bir sorumluluktur.

Bugün Gazze’de devam eden soykırımın kanı, buna tepkisiz kalanların eline yüzüne bulaşmıştır.

İran’da, Lübnan’da başlayan; Suriye’yi, Akdeniz’i, Afrika’yı tehdit eden bu saldırganlığın sonuçlarından da yine tepkisiz kalanlar mesul olacaktır.

İsrail durdurulmalıdır.

Bu, insanlığın ve insanlık cephesinin ödevidir.

Tarihin tekerrürüne izin verilmemelidir.

Türkiye, İsrail’in tüm sabotajlarına rağmen bölgesinde barışın ve huzurun ikamesi için elinden geleni yapacaktır.

At PMQs, I just called on the Prime Minister to kick Palantir out of our NHS.

@MarkLil02403768 @Pontifex Never happened

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Even more than in the past, it is clear today that the proliferation of armed conflicts is often driven by the exploitation of oil and mineral deposits, with no regard for international law or the self-determination of peoples.

@SereneEntropy @R64447R @EB21122 @BrianMcDonaldIE Not really rhetorical if you blocked me like a coward.

2nd, Hamas did not murder any of its hostages after any ceasefire agreements.

To put some context here, the IDF has killed 3 Israeli hostages, who were visibly Jewish, shirtless, shouting in Hebrew and holding white flags

As I$rael claims that destruction of Christian icons is “inconsistent” with its values, here is my footage of a church it destroyed in Derdghaya in southern Lebanon in October 2024, killing at least 8 people.

@drdoak007 @R64447R @TimesofIsrael Oh no, someone got their feelings hurt. No need to block, I won’t harm you. And no, I don’t have a bot farm

@BeamRiverTown @Figuregirl1977 @TheIranWatcher @themournelady a conspiracy? Sorry but netanyahu has been on record every 4-5 years he says iran is weeks away from developing nuclear bombs

Americans aren't stupid, they've seen this and they've made their own assessment of the whole situation.
