You may find my series about traditional Shiite leader, Kadhim Al-Khalil, in English here.

I was glad to help @CNN to portray the profile of Ahmad Vahidi, the new commander of the IRGC, whose appointment underscores an important reality: targeted assassination campaigns do not necessarily produce successors who are less radical or less capable than the figures they replace.

In many cases, such policies elevate individuals who are even more ideologically hardened, more operationally experienced, and more deeply committed to confrontation with the West, like Vahidi.

@jdceulaer Het feit dat Dirk zich genoodzaakt voelt om iets over het middenveld te schrijven, toont aan dat het middenveld springlevend is en haar kritische rol nog altijd goed vervult.

De brutaliteit waarmee kolonisten op de West Bank de Palestijnen van hun land verdrijven, en de vergrendeling van de Gaza-strook, waar twee miljoen ontredderde burgers op elkaar gepakt zitten, maakt het Songfestival en de Israëlische bijdrage tot een groteske dance macabre.

French political impact on Middle East regional politics is zero. All their statements and travels are pure theatrics.

[Mohamed El Khalfioui محمد الخلفوي @melkhalf]

Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Mauritania are not constitutionally defined as "Arab". Geographically speaking, this means that about half of the "Arab-Islamic world" is not officially defined as Arab. And the term "Arab" has a different meaning in the Maghreb. #Ignorance

[Arash Azizi آرش عزیزی @arash_tehran]

@souljagoyteller Arab states are mostly defined as “Arab” constitutionally despite having huge non-Arab minorities. And they are mostly no kind of democracy either

@AkyolinEnglish @IskanderAbbasi To return to my point. You are simply Islamizing neoliberalism with slogans like freedom, private enterprise et cetera. It is all about capitalist interests when we see that a modern Islamic thinker like Mohammed Baqer Sadr, was against capitalism and the free market economy.

[Mohamed El Khalfioui محمد الخلفوي @melkhalf]

@AkyolinEnglish @IskanderAbbasi I think you can do better than writing slogans. Syria had already evolved into a free-market society under Bashar Assad. The biggest difference they had with Turkey is that Syria kept healthcare and education under state control; https://t.co/wxkmCFzOpr

[Mohamed El Khalfioui محمد الخلفوي @melkhalf]

This is a form of neoliberalisation of Islam. How they try to conceal established capitalist interests in an Islamic discourse.

The US didn’t agree to a ceasefire but acquiesced to a new balance of power. By insisting on ending the war rather than settling for a temporary ceasefire, Iran moved beyond merely restoring deterrence, whether as denial or as punishment. It exercised deterrence as compellence, forcing the US to change its behaviour and to negotiate under Iranian terms of reference, with the US in an unfamiliar role as the subject of demands rather than their issuer.

Iran went far beyond what ceasefires and classical deterrence typically achieve, which is simply a return to the status quo ante. Instead, the confrontation produced a new strategic reality whereby Iran was able to redraw the political map of the region in which Iran has emerged not just intact but as the most formidable counter-hegemonic force shaping the new regional order.

This is typical of a certain segment of the academic Left in het West. They can't even abide by an academic boycott of a genocidal state.

[Branko Milanovic @BrankoMilan]

I am 100% against Israel's current policies but the recent events have convinced me more strongly than ever to go to a conference in Jerusalem in May (unless all flights are cancelled). Because the only way to maintain contact is to have a conversation. And boycotts, such as the academic boycott of Israel, produce the opposite effect. People who agree with you--or might agree with you--are excluded and left alone, and people who disagree with you feel empowered because they can brand all opponents with a broad brush of "enemies" (or whatever else is a convenient term).

Khamenei's dood leidt niet tot chaos, maar tot standvastigheid. Wie de sji'itische theologie rond Imam Hüseyin in Karbala kent, weet dat de dood geen straf is, maar een heilig doel en opdracht. Israël en de VS zullen zonder grondoffensief #Iran vooral materieel (zeer hard) raken.

[Al Jazeera English @AJEnglish]

BREAKING: Iran’s Fars and Tasnim news agencies say Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was killed at his office early Saturday while “performing his assigned duties.”

A 40-day period of public mourning has been declared.
