Today, Israeli bombardment of Gaza killed seven more Palestinian civilians, including a child. The bombardment of Gaza has not stopped for a single day since the ceasefire was declared. To date, Israel has violated the ceasefire more than 5,000 times, killing 1,511 Palestinians, including more than 340children, and injuring 5,375 others. These relentless attacks continue to claim civilian lives and undermine the ceasefire, while the people of Gaza remain exposed to death, destruction, poor humanitarian conditions and immense suffering.

“WHY?” It is very heartbreaking to read this handwriting letter. That was the last question 25-year-old Majid Nikandish asked the night before the Islamic Republic executed him: “Tonight, I feel like a little child terrified of an injection. Only one question is on my mind: Why?” We, the people of Iran, are living in horror. Every day, another execution. Another mother destroyed. Another life stolen. In his final letter he asked his mother to smile at his funeral. “I, Majid Nikandish, leave the few belongings I have in prison as keepsakes for my family. Hello, my dear Mom. I know you have had a very difficult life. I’m sorry if I wasn’t a good son. Please forgive me. Please don’t be sad. Stay strong, and please be happy at my funeral. Take care of Mahnaz, Abolfazl, and Razieh. Tonight, I feel like a little child who is afraid of getting an injection. There is only one question left in my mind: WHY? To my sisters, Mahnaz and Razieh, I love you so much. To my brother, Abolfazl, I love you so much. I miss you all. My final wish is that you take care of one another and stay together, no matter what.” Why did he have to die? Why was his life stolen? Why must another mother bury her child? I have no answer for his mother. We have no answer to his brother and sisters. But let’s ask this question to the leaders of the democratic world: Why are you silent? Why don’t you stop legitimizing the regime that is hanging innocent protesters every day? Don’t look away. Don’t leave the people of Iran alone with their executioners. Say his name. Majid Nikandish. And make the world answer his final question: WHY? #MajidNikandish #StopExecutionsInIran

Well-known Ukrainian military aerial reconnaissance specialist Oleksandr "Serg Marco" Karpiuk writes on Facebook: "...Starlink is a civilian communications system. And SpaceX is responsible for its civilian use. Standard Starlink terminals currently have a default speed limit of 22 m/s. To enable flight at speeds above 22 m/s, Ukraine signed contracts for Starshield, which is overseen by the Pentagon. This is already a military system, with Starlink terminals that offer greater functionality, although the accounts are considerably more expensive. And it was the Pentagon that did two things in a single day: restricted intelligence sharing and changed the parameters of Starshield accounts. This was a decision by the head of the Pentagon, Pete Hegseth. Clearly on Trump's orders...." Maybe this is the key to understanding what exactly happened.

"Am I alive?" A question my red casualty asked me as I was cutting his clothes to check for other injuries. He was a critical casualty going in and out of consciousness. I told him he was alive and that he is in our medevac. From that point it was a fight to the finish line. We were being covered by members of our squadron as FPVs flew in the area. My only focus was getting the IV line established to administer necessary medications immediately. We had no time to spare. Foley catheter was placed by my brother in arms, vitals monitor was on and going. His hands were covered in blood and so cold so I scrubbed one finger clean where there was no shrapnel (which was in several places) and tried to warm up his finger so I could get a reading. He lost a lot of blood and that was clear from his low blood pressure reading so we knew we didn't have much time. It became too dangerous for us to continue so we evacuated. I started his meds while we sped away from our point to the next level of care. My goal was to keep him talking until we arrived and keep ahead of what possible problems could arise on the drive. We arrived at the hospital and from there, doctors got to work. My only thought was thank God we made it and that he is alive. I am grateful every day to be able to help save lives and lucky to serve with incredibly brave people by my side.

I am on my way to Madrid to receive an award, alongside women I deeply admire, Rosa María Payá and Yulia Navalnaya. Women who know what it costs to fight a dictatorship. But I am not accepting this award for myself. I will be there to pick up against executions in Iran. I dedicate it to Najmeh Amini, a 23 year old accounting student in Iran. Her crime? A social media post. She has been sentenced to death for blasphemy. Insulting the prophet, they say. And 12 years in prison for speaking against the regime. She wrote that she is an innocent young girl who still has hopes, and that her mother spends every night in fear of losing her. This is the true face of the Islamic Republic. A regime that hangs young women in the name of God, simply for criticizing Islam or daring to think freely. And it is getting worse. Executions in Iran are skyrocketing. In Afghanistan the Taliban do the same. This is what life under Islamic rule means for women. So I will use this stage in Europe to say loud and clear: do not look away. Stop shaking hands and signing deals with the executioners. The real award Europe can give is to stand with the women of Iran and Afghanistan and refuse to legitimize these regimes. That is why I am proud to announce that I will bring a delegation of women from Iran and Afghanistan to Spain. Their voices will be heard on European soil. The mullahs kill them at home. We will make Europe listen. We need real action to save lives. Say her name. Najmeh Amini. Her only crime is freedom. #NajmehAmini #StopExecutionsInIran
