Tony Benn saw today’s tragedy unfolding decades ago.
The war with Iran was not an accident of history: it was an inevitability engineered by Washington and Tel Aviv. By launching strikes under the banner of regime change, the US and Israel have upended the global economy, choked off vital trade routes like the Strait of Hormuz, and driven working-class families into an even deeper cost of living crisis.
In this footage, Benn lays bare the grim reality of Western foreign policy. He exposes the moral vacuum of superpowers who preach human rights while protecting oil supplies, arming tyrants, and lining the pockets of arms manufacturers. Britain remains what it has long been: a minor player blindly locked into American hubris while ordinary people pay the price at the petrol pump, in food prices, in energy bills, in transport costs, on business.
We were warned that imperial aggression always leaves a trail of economic wreckage at home; we simply chose not to listen.

That time when an unarmed Iranian ship was invited to take part in an Indian naval exercise alongside the United States.
Its sailors were welcomed on land and paraded before Indian President Modi as a gesture of respect.
Then, at the last moment, the United States suddenly abruptly withdrew from the exercise,only to wait and torpedo the very ship it had just stood beside.
What followed was even more grotesque.
After attacking an unarmed vessel, the US refused to rescue the sailors it had blown into the sea, abandoning them to drown.
The grim work of recovering bodies was left to the Sri Lankan Navy.
This wasn’t warfare,it was treachery of the most disgraceful kind: an ambush carried out under the pretense of diplomacy, followed by a cold refusal to show even the most basic human decency to the dying.
It would represent a collapse of every norm that supposedly governs civilized conduct at sea.
And yet, instead of outrage, much of the American media response has been indifference or rationalization.
The bombing of a girls’ school is brushed aside; talk of carpet-bombing Tehran is floated as if it were just another policy option.
When atrocities are normalized and cruelty is laundered into “strategy,” the line between reporting and complicity begins to disappear......
BREAKING! Israel massacres Gaza families in their sleep again.
Most victims are children, again.
Over 31 months Israel has:
KILLED 20K of them (UNICEF)
ORPHANED 39K (PCBS)
AMPUTATED 4K (UNICEF) among 7K left permanently disabled.
Diplomats & int'l media in Tel Aviv: how do you?
URGENT! For any country where (from Italy to Thailand or Brazil) possible war criminals go on holiday and R&R. 🇮🇱 soldiers must be investigated, evidence assessed, and responsibility determined through DUE PROCESS.
This is not incitement to commit violence. It is accountability.
@bassem_youssef9 Egypt did not qualify. She was gifted a qualification by the corrupt officials.
Egypt are taking Irans place in next round of the games is unfair and a disgrace to FIFA and sport organisers
"We were occupied in Norway.. & those resistance fighters in Norway are our heroes, & the German occupiers called them terrorists.. Palestine is defending itself. Israel is attacking"

@mosbatboy فرضیه آقای درودیان واقعا چیزی جز ما گایی نیست.
ببخشید گاییدن که جای خود ولی این اقایان حاضرند که دار و ندار و کل عزت و شرف مملکت رو بدن برود برای یک بلیط ورودی به کلاب غرب.
@alon_mizrahi Iran is here to stay forever.
Iranians have survived all empires for over three millennia
Assyrians,Babylonians, Egyptians, Macedonians, Romans, Arabs, Mongols,Tymorids,Ottomans, Russians, British,French and now Americans.
@NaderSoltanpour نزدیکی به غرب و عدم دشمنی با اسراییل معنایی جز پشت کردن به آزادی خواهی و استقلال نیست.
دوستی با غرب و اسراییل یعنی پذیرفتن اپارتاید و عادی کردن نسل کشی
شرمتان باد از عادی کردن چنین جنایاتی.
برچسب دموکراسی و آزادی خواهی بر خود می زنید و اپارتاید و نسل کشی را عادی جلوه می دهید
@elitiume امضای دیجیتال تفاهمنامه در دنیای دیجیتالی امروز امری عادی است. اصل قرارداد نیاز به امضای رسمی دارد.
من در ۱۴ بند پیشنهادی مشکل اساسی ندیدم شاید سواد من کفایت درک آن را ندارد. ممنون میشوند اگر شما معایبی را که مد نظرتان هست توضیح بدهید
@elitiume اصل متن تفاهمناهه که هنوز منتشر نشده ولی آنچه که در نشریات و بخش دستگاههای مجازی آمده جمعا به نفع ایران هست.
اگر جانبعالی اصل متن رو دارید لطفا پخش بکنید تا ما هم از آن مطلع بشیم و با محض بیشعوریمان قضاوت نادرست بکنیم. اگر هم که متن را نخوانده اید لطفا خفه شوید
"This government is treating Palestine Action as equivalent to Islamic State or Al Qaeda, which is intellectually bankrupt, politically unprincipled and morally wrong. Frankly I'm deeply ashamed"
Labour peer Peter Hain in the Lords in July last year
Growing up in the West, I was always proud to be Persian because of our history, our culture, and what our ancestors achieved.
But after coming to Iran, getting married, having my daughter here, and living through war alongside millions of ordinary Iranians, I discovered something even greater.
I became proud of Iran today.
Not because of the past, but because of what this nation is still capable of. The resilience, the courage, the unity, and the determination of its people have reminded me that Iran is more than a civilization of history.
Iran is a nation very much alive. Will not bow down to anyone and stand up for the abused.
Proud to be Persian. Proud to be Iranian.
