Water is the pulse of life — and the U.S. is deliberately targetting the lifeblood of the Iranian people.

As part of its aggression against Iran, the U.S. military has deliberately struck vital civilian water infrastructure in Sirik, Hormozgan, destroying two reservoirs with a combined capacity of 2,500 cubic meters.

These facilities supplied drinking water to more than 20,000 residents across ten villages.

This is not collateral damage — it is a calculated war crime and a flagrant violation of human rights and international humanitarian law.

The U.S. must be held accountable for committing such systematic brutal attacks on civilian life-sustaining infrastructure.

اگر می‌خواهید بازیچه هیچ دستگاه اطلاعاتی خارجی نشوید، دوای دردش " آزادی" به شهروندان ایرانی است. حکومتی که حل بحران نکند، با انباشت بحران، آسیب پذیر می‌شود. آزادی هم صرفا دادن تریبون نیست، فضایی است که در آن شهروند احساس شان و شخصیت دارد. خط اصلی مقاومت، داخل کشور است. تکثر ملت ایران را بپذیرید، قدرت را تقسیم و "ایرانی" را فقط در "حزب اللهی" تعریف نکنید. غیر از این ایران بهشت بزرگ جاسوسان است.

[Arman Grigoryan @Arm__Grig]

If any of my students wrote a paper with the argument that country X, or leader Y is a monster, I would not just flunk them, I would write a comment at the end of the paper that would traumatize them for the rest of their lives. This level of sophomoric nonsense is unbearable, especially when you remember the very high positions these cretins have held in teh US government. And one more thing. The ugliness of Nuland's "oh my goodness" response deserves a particular attention. I think she should be viciously ridiculed for it not because she is ignorant and biased, but because she feels entitled and powerful in her ignorance and bias.

[Hassan Ahmadian حسن احمدیان @hasanahmadian]

Much of what is being said about the developments in the Strait of Hormuz—freedom of navigation under international law, the sovereign right to military contracts, the American military presence in the region, the role of the UN Security Council and the United Nations in maintaining global peace and security, and so much more—has little to do with the reality created by the war the United States and Israel waged on Iran.

All of this is discussed as if no war ever happened. As if no political leadership was assassinated. No infrastructure was destroyed. No children were slaughtered. As if international law stops functioning when violated by Israel and the United States—only to spring back into action against those who dare stand in their way.

The world after this war is not what it was before. Two illegal wars were forced upon Iran, following the mass killings in Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen. And the only thing that deterred the aggressor—or ever could—was force, not international law. The war has exposed the true extent of American power. And that, ironically, is the greatest gain for everyone who has suffered from it and from its ally, Israel.

As for the Strait of Hormuz, Iran secured it for decades without conditions or restrictions. But once it was used by its enemies, Iran gained every right to defend itself and prevent its enemies from using it again. The way forward is clear: a coordination mechanism to prevent the aggressor’s equipment and forces from entering without oversight. Such coordination harms no one in the region.

But when some choose to align themselves with the United States and Israel, in any shape or form, it only complicates regional relations. And that is exactly what the two aggressors want. They know full well that the situation in Hormuz will never return to what it was—meaning, never again without Iranian oversight.

در مورد هیچکس نمیگم فلانی جاسوس است چون اطلاعاتی ندارم. اما در همان سال 2009 بعد از افشای اسناد ویکی لیکس، لوموند گزارشی رفته بود درباره گفتگوهای مقامات اسرائیلی و آمریکایی درباره نحوه برخورد با ایران. مقامات اسرائیلی یک راهبرد پنج مرحله ای داشتند که آخریش آشوب‌های مرزی با قصد فروپاشی بود. از تحریم فلج کننده تا ورشکستگی بانکها، تا خرابکاری از جنس استاکس نت در اون بسته راهبردی بود. بررسی کردم حداقل چهار محور از این راهبرد در دولت احمدی نژاد عملی شده بود.

[Nima Fazeli @nmfazeli]

Not many years ago GCC countries rejected the proposal of reformists in Iran to avoid any security arrangements involving foreigners to the region.

No what they thought their guarantee has become their vulnerability.

It is too late to go back to the previous order now.

[فيصل بن فرحان @FaisalbinFarhan]

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia highly appreciates the US President Donald Trump's decision to give diplomacy a chance to reach an acceptable agreement to end the war, restore the security and freedom of maritime navigation in the Strait of Hormuz to its state prior to February 28th, 2026, and address all points of contention in a way that serves the security and stability of the region.

Saudi Arabia also highly appreciates the ongoing mediation efforts carried out by Pakistan in this regard. Saudi Arabia looks forward to Iran siezing the opportunity to avoid the dangerous implications of escalation, and urgently responding to the efforts to advance the negotiations leading up to a comprehensive agreement to achieve lasting peace in the region and the world.

@mojtaba_najafi احتمال اینکه کلن مهره‌ی اسرائیل بوده رو هم نباید دست کم گرفت.

بخصوص اینکه با اپستین هم تو نیویورک در جریان سفرش دیدار کرده.

محمود بازیکن اصلی بوده و پهلوی نیمکت نشین 🤦🏻‍♂️

[The Economist @TheEconomist]

Some say that the alignment of Reza Pahlavi, the son of Iran’s last shah, with Israel has made him “a useful idiot” and that he has acquired an autocratic streak akin to the ayatollahs https://t.co/DPSIRlM7gl

[Nima Fazeli @nmfazeli]

@NaderSoltanpour اینکه عامل اسراییل بوده هم بعید نیست. با اپستین هم دیدار کرده بود.

[Nima Fazeli @nmfazeli]

@amanpour It makes sense if Ahmadinejad was an Israeli asset from the beginning. Everything he did benefited Israel and damaged Iran.

He also met with Epstein.

[Nima Fazeli @nmfazeli]

What are the chances that he is an Israeli agent?
Whatever he did damaged Iran and benefited Israel. He met with Epstein and now this.
No smoking gun (yet) but the results speak for themselves.

[Hamidreza Azizi @HamidRezaAz]

I wrote this @ForeignPolicy piece five years ago, arguing that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has ambitions beyond #Iran's presidency. I wrote about his rebranding campaign and long-term plans. Honestly, @nytimes report today was not surprising to me at all!

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

It should be obvious by now that Israel’s goal was not to actually come up with a viable regime change plan, but to convince the Trump administration that they had a plan.

Israel’s primary goal was to get us into this war, knowing that once we were in it we’d have a hard time leaving. So far their actual plan is working.

Israel is comfortable with Iran spiraling into chaos & this war being a long & costly slog for us. Until we realize that Israel has drastically different objectives in this war we will be stuck in the current cycle.

[Nima Fazeli @nmfazeli]

@vali_nasr I wouldn’t dismiss the possibility that Ahmadinejad is an Israeli agent.

Btw he visited Epstein in NY.

https://t.co/zRoEdhX8lz

[Nima Fazeli @nmfazeli]

Another explanation is that #Ahmadinejad is an Israeli agent.

He met with Epstein in New York.

Anything he did damaged Iran and benefited Israel.

BIG SCOOP: US-Israel goal was to install former President Ahmadinejad as Iran's leader (aka Delcy)
An Israeli strike designed to free him from house arrest was part of an effort to bring about regime change and put him in power. w/ @MarkMazzettiNYT @julianbarnes @ronenbergman

این چرت و پرتا چیه میگید ما چون در وقوع جنگ عاملیتی نداشتیم پرسش مخالف یا موافق جنگ بودن معنا نداره. بالاخره شما باید پاسخ بدید آیا موافق ایده جنگ رهایی بخشید یا مخالفش؟ اگر موافقید در برابر تبعاتش مسئولیت اخلاقی دارید. مثلا شما در اعدام هم نقشی ندارید اما اگر موافق ایده اعدام زندانی سیاسی هستید یعنی مسوولیت اخلاقی در قبال اعدامها دارید. ببینید زرنگ تر از شما هم هست. اینطور نیست همه مخاطبهایتان زیرآبی رفتن رو نفهمند.

[Esmaeil Baqaei @IRIMFA_SPOX]

The next grand lie being rolled out to justify their illegal 'war of choice' is the claim that they are 'preserving peace and stability in global energy markets.'

In reality, though, it was the reckless warmongering of the U.S. and Israeli regimes that shattered promising diplomatic processes and, through an unprovoked military aggression against Iran, deliberately injected insecurity into vital energy routes — only then to accuse Iran of destabilization, in order to put into practice Goebbels’ infamous dictum: "Accuse others of what you yourself are doing."

This is their familiar, cynical playbook: manufacture crisis and war, then escalate further under the noble banner of 'restoring stability' and 'defending peace.'

“They create a desolation and call it peace."
Agricola, Tacitus

[Nima Fazeli @nmfazeli]

The true reason behind Iran’s plan to charge toll payments is maintaining an explicit mechanism to punish further aggressions. Iran does not want to rely on purely military action to exercise the this sort of punishment.

This is pure game theory. To incentivize a beha you either punish or reward. So far the US has not cared about any concessions as a reward. Clear example was tearing up the JCPOA.

Explicit control of the strait of Hormoz is the only stable path.

#IranWar‌ #geopolitics #Hormuz

[Nima Fazeli @nmfazeli]

Iran having a de facto but explicit control over the strait of Hormoz is probably the only solution that could stabilize the region.

The reason is the need for a /punitive/ mechanism in case of a breach of agreement by the US as there is no incentive for the US not to attack again.

Alternative/rewarding/ mechanisms to encourage the US to respect the agreement did not work in the past. JCPOA and pre-war negotiations offered access to Iranian market and tried to guarantee the deal by economic entanglement but they didn’t work.

[Nima Fazeli @nmfazeli]

@Majidshakeri8 I wouldn’t put it in this declarative way but I think there are strategic reasons for such outcome to be a stable solution. A punishment works far better than a reward as a guarantee.
