Netanyahu bullshitting an empty room. There are two types of delegates 1) Those who know he is bullshitting but have some professional interest in staying in the room (slaves); 2) Those who know he is bullshitting but have left the room.

Russia’s “peace” last night: a massive strike on Kyiv with drones and ballistic missiles.

At least 10 killed, 30 injured, many buildings destroyed.

The EU Delegation was severely damaged by the shock wave.

This is Moscow’s true answer to peace efforts.

"The US and the Zionist regime of Israel have openly threatened to assassinate Iran’s Supreme Leader," the Iranian mission to the UN wrote on X, appending a formal complaint to the global body.

"This criminal act constitutes a manifest instance of State terrorism; and the very gravity of such a threat must not be permitted to be diminished or normalized in any manner whatsoever."

Really good roundup of the opinions and voices across the Iranian political spectrum in this piece below. It is worthwhile noting the diversity of views and the endemic factionalism of Iranian politics even in the opposition.
