This is a hard article to read, but I hope you'll do so. I've spent some time reporting on widespread rape and other sexual violence of Palestinian male and female prisoners by Israeli authorities, and the article is now published. The assault victims were warned not to give speak of what they endured -- they were sometimes told they would be killed or raped if they gave interviews -- but they found the courage to do so. One man described being raped three times in a single day in Israeli prison, the third time after he tried to protest. A young woman said the guards would come in at the beginning of each shift and strip her naked and abuse her. Another reported that she was shown photos of herself being raped and warned they would be released unless she cooperated with Israeli intelligence. Even three children who had been detained told me they had been sexually abused. Look, whatever our position on the Middle East, we should be able to agree on being anti-rape. Sexual assaults were horrific when Israeli women were targeted on Oct. 7, and they're equally horrific when Israeli authorities use them against Palestinians day after day after day. We should be able to find common ground in opposing rape. Here's a gift link to the article: https://t.co/aMMHId49OO
قید کے 1000 دن سچ
استقامت اور نظریے کی فتح
#خان_کی_مزاحمت_کے_1ہزار_دن
آج سے کچھ عرصہ قبل، جب اس سفر کا آغاز ہوا تھا، تو مخالفین طنز کے نشتر چلاتے ہوئے کہا کرتے تھے کہ
"یہ شخص جیل کی تنہائی میں چار دن بھی نہیں گزار سکے گا۔"
وقت کا پہیہ گھوما، حالات بدلے، لیکن اس طنز کا جواب آج تاریخ خود دے رہی ہے۔ آج عمران خان کی قید کے 1000 دن مکمل ہو چکے ہیں۔ یہ صرف اعداد و شمار نہیں، یہ صبر، استقامت اور ایک طویل آزمائش کی وہ داستان ہے جو آنے والی نسلوں کے لیے مشعل راہ بنے گی۔ قید کی یہ حدود صرف ایک شخص کی قید نہیں، بلکہ ایک سوچ کا امتحان ہے وقت گواہ ہے، سچ جتنا دبایا جائے، اتنا ہی ابھرتا ہے۔"
قید تو ہمیشہ جسم کی ہوتی ہے، تاریخِ انسانی گواہ ہے کہ جب بھی کسی لیڈر کو سلاخوں کے پیچھے دھکیلا گیا، اس کے نظریات زیادہ تیزی سے لوگوں کے دلوں میں گھر کر گئے۔ عمران خان کا ان ایک ہزار دنوں میں قید رہنا اس بات کا ثبوت ہے کہ جسم کو تو قید کیا جا سکتا ہے لیکن اس سوچ کو نہیں جو لاکھوں، کروڑوں دلوں میں بستی ہو۔ خیالات کی پرواز کو کسی جیل خانے کی چار دیواری میں محصور نہیں کیا جا سکتا۔یہ ایک ہزار دن صرف ایک فرد کی داستانِ حیات نہیں، بلکہ یہ اس نظریے کی آزمائش ہے جس نے ایک قوم کو خواب دیکھنا سکھایا۔ یہ خودداری، انصاف اور ایک خود مختار پاکستان کے اس جذبے کا امتحان ہے جو ہر مشکل گھڑی میں مزید نکھر کر سامنے آیا ہے۔ جب بھی جبر کے ہتھکنڈے استعمال کیے گئے، آواز دبنے کے بجائے گونج بن گئی۔ سلاخیں نظریے کی دیوار نہیں بنتیں، بلکہ وہ اس عزم کو مزید فولادی بنا دیتی ہیں۔
"سورج لاکھ بادلوں کی اوٹ میں چھپ جائے، لیکن وہ اپنی روشنی مٹا نہیں سکتا۔ بالکل اسی طرح، سچ کتنا ہی چھپایا جائے، وہ زیادہ آب و تاب کے ساتھ ابھرتا ہے"
عمران خان کے ان 1000 دنوں نے یہ ثابت کر دیا ہے کہ سچائی کے راستے پر چلنے والوں کے حوصلے آزمائش کی بھٹی میں کندن بن جاتے ہیں۔
آج کا دن اس بات کی یاد دہانی ہے کہ مشکل وقت گزر جاتا ہے، لیکن کردار اور نظریہ ہمیشہ قائم رہتا ہے۔ یہ قید وقتی سہی، لیکن اس کے اثرات آنے والے زمانوں تک محسوس کیے جائیں گے۔
A blockade to block the blockade that's blocking the Strait that wasn't blocked before being blocked due to war of choice launched by Trump. Strategery!
JUST IN: PROFESSOR MARANDI PROVIDES NEGOTIATIONS UPDATE
✅ Iran is fully prepared to return to Tehran without an agreement
✅ Negotiations are to show the international community and regional peoples that Iran gave a chance for de-escalation
✅ If the US and Trump ignore Iran's rights and the rights of Palestine, Lebanon, and the Axis of Resistance, "we will prepare ourselves for war"
✅ One thing that surprised the Iranian side: Lebanon's PM seeking normalization talks with Israel instead of stopping attacks on Lebanon — "completely irresponsible behavior"
"As we won in the war, we will return."

It's fine for the US to close Cuba's and Venezuela's waters, and it's fine for Israel to close Gaza's waters, but if Iran blocks the countries that waged war against it from the Strait of Hormuz, that's unacceptable?
Since the Epstein class is insulting the holy Prophet and his wife Aisha in order to hide their crimes, I decided to write this. Historians list Aisha among the first two dozen people to convert to Islam, which would have required her to be at least several years old at the start of the Prophet's mission. The overwhelming consensus among Shia scholars is that she was 18-19 when she married. This is the most frequently cited range, often calculated using the age of her older sister, Asma, who was 10 years older and died at 100 years old.
Sorry for getting all my analysis wrong. The war was a resounding success!
Iran will now open the Strait of Hormuz that was open before the war started
The same Strait the U.S. could have opened, but asked NATO to help open, and NATO refused to open, and now Trump is threatening NATO for not opening the Strait that was open.
We also executed a soft launch of the new and improved Iranian regime, swapping Khamenei Sr for Khamenei Jr and locking in another 40-50 years of continuity.
Oh, and we liberated the Iranian people after threatening to erase their entire civilization. We didn't wipe their country off the map, so technically, we saved them from ourselves. You're welcome Iran.
Lastly, we brought peace to the Gulf that had peace before the war, and we could not bring peace to Lebanon that didn't have peace before the war
The United States which has nuclear weapons threatening to use nuclear weapons to prevent Iran from having nuclear weapons because having nuclear weapons is dangerous.
Neither Alexander the Great nor Genghis Khan could break Iranian civilization despite their conquests. What makes you believe a fleeting empire of Yankees, commanded by a reckless madman, will achieve what history's greatest conquerors could not?
The UK controlled Iran's oil for decades getting 84% of the profits.
When Iran tried to take it back in 1951
The CIA & MI6 launched a coup.
They overthrew democracy, restored the Shah, and secured the oil.
That's the real history they don't teach.
The horrors happening in Iran and Lebanon are happening because of what the world is allowing to happen in Gaza and the West Bank. The Zionists are emboldened by silence. Silence is tacit approval.
SILENCE IS COMPLICITY.
Approximately 40% of children in the U.S. are born to unmarried mothers, with rates peaking around 40.7% in 2012. While this average exists, rates vary significantly by state—reaching over 55% in Louisiana and Mississippi—and by demographic group, with higher percentages observed among non-Hispanic black and American Indian populations.
Audacity to call others "Bastards" 😂
Stone Age?
At a time when you were still in caves searching for fire, we were inscribing human rights on the Cyrus Cylinder.
We endured the storm of Alexander and the Mongol invasions and remained; because Iran is not just a country, it is a civilization.
جناب سپوکسمین، یہ ڈرونز جو شیراز میں حملہ کرنے آئے ہیں Wing Loong-2 drones ہیں جو سعودی عرب اور متحدہ عرب امارات کے پاس ہیں۔ یہ دونوں ممالک سر سے لے کر پاؤں تک ایران کے خلاف امریکی اور اسرائیلی جنگ کا حصہ ہیں۔
اس لئے آپ کو ان کا نام لے کر بتانا چاہیے کہ امریکہ اور اسرائیل کے لئے ایران پر ڈرونز حملے روکیں۔
Does threatening to send an entire nation back to the Stone Age mean anything other than a massive war crime? This was the question I asked my Finnish counterpart, who is a jurist. History is full of those who paid a heavy price for their silence in the face of criminals.
After defeating Iran 37 times in a row, this brilliant no-strategy war they started has now been downgraded from “regime change” to “Hey! Can anyone find our pilots? Please?🥺”
Wow. What incredible progress. Absolute geniuses.
عمران خان نے مجھے بتایا تھا کہ میں گیا اس محمد بن سلمان سے ملنے ۔اس نے کہا کہ ہمیں ایران سے یہ مسئلہ ہے تو میں نے کہا میں وہ حل کروا دیتا ہوں اس نے کہا ٹھیک ہے خان صاحب جب ایران گیا تو مسئلہ حل ہوا گیا ۔لیکن محمد بن سلمان نے کہا کہ سچ پوچھو تو ہمیں کوئی مسئلہ نہیں ایران سے۔
مسئلہ امریکہ کا ہے ڈونلڈ ٹرمپ کا ہے وہ ایران کو ایکسیپٹ نہیں کرتا ۔
@PeteHegseth You're talking about one of the world's oldest continuous most cultured civilisations, you Christo-fascist quarter-wit. That you could rise to the position you're in says everything about your 250 year old corporatist cartel of a nation, built on bloodletting, racism & theft.
