It's always "Iran-backed Houthis" and never "American-backed Israel"

[Philippe Werner @PhilippeLW]

#Iran - a true civilization; something that nobody can ever come close to challenging. The European settlers that are now in charge of the USA & occupied Palestine, definitely not

Western ignorance and arrogance towards Iran must stop. Respect & cultural awareness is key.

Satellite images from March 28 show destroyed pistachio warehouses near Rafsanjan Airport in Kerman—the heart of #Iran’s pistachio industry. Iran was once the world’s largest pistachio exporter, but years of trade embargoes have allowed the US to cut into its market share. The choice of target in Rafsanjan points to a deliberate economic strategy.

Christians in Tehran freely celebrating Easter in their Cathedral.
Christians in Jerusalem were blocked from doing this.

Whatever your view of Iran, this war is not of their making. This is already causing widespread economic problems and I fear they promise to get much worse if the war continues. Oman is working intensively to put in place safe passage arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz.

Je zou nu maar met anderhalve man en een paardenkop voor het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken staan om met sjah-vlaggen en de Amerikaanse vlag te smeken om bombardementen op je eigen volk…

Kon het niet laten er een protestleus uit te gooien. Fuck de VS en Israël! Fuck de sjah!

When the senior Omani mediator speaks, the smart set should listen: https://t.co/4fw8JC3haN

Larijani’s replacement will be appointed by IRGC. With every assassination U.S. and Israel engineering greater radicalization of Iran’s leadership. It will makes for a bleak future for Iran, Iranians, the region and ultimately makes it far more difficult for U.S. to disentangle itself from endless conflict in the region.

#Iran : 7,000+ years of civilization
United States: founded in 1776
The Zionist regime of Israeli: established in 1948
And yet, those with the shortest histories are the ones threatening & bombing the heritage of one of the world’s oldest #civilizations.

Four Iranian diplomats were killed today in Beirut after an Israeli strike hit the Ramada hotel. Not a single major Western broadcaster has covered this. It says a lot about how some lives are worth less than others.

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

You’re not ‘under attack’ in a vacuum. Your country launched an attack, an illegal war of aggression, and the country you attacked is retaliating. It’s called cause and effect.

[Craig Murray @CraigMurrayOrg]

Nothing to say about Israel's invasion and bombing of Lebanon, you foul woman?

[Negar Mortazavi نگار مرتضوی @NegarMortazavi]

It’s an illegal war. European leaders have lost all credibility with their selective condemnations of wars, based on who launches them and who is attacked.

[زكريا المحرمي @almuharrmi]

بعد ساعات من نجاح وزير الخارجية العماني في إقناع إدارة ترامب والرأي العام الأمريكي بجدوى الحل الدبلوماسي وقرب التوصل إلى اتفاق يحقق المطالب الأمريكية يقوم الكيان الصهيوني الغادر بتدمير كل الجهود العمانية ويشن حربا على إيران، اسأل الله القدير أن يمكن إيران من الصمود ودحر الإجرام!!

[شنشون @humanprovince]

Like clockwork: as soon as diplomatic progress was announced via the Omani foreign minister, these violent maniacs launch a war.

[Ali Vaez @AliVaez]

Those who are framing this war as “preventative” would have to explain what they are preventing.

@TuckerCarlson @AnaKasparian Happy to give some insight into the history of the Armenians in Iran, pre 1915 genocide. My ancestors established in Isfahan in 17th century, before heading to SE Asia in the early 20th century.
