@guardian Not a good decision. It is at times like these that counterbalancing narratives are needed on this platform. Why cede public spaces?

@manojkjhadu The distance between truth and its revelation is time multiplied by its importance.

@washingtonpost Gotta be dumb to think SC won't see through this scheme to get around their ruling.

@aarondmiller2 Never has an American president been so thoroughly fooled by Iran. It's his dump to walk out of.

[Samrat Chowdhery @samrat]

@jsiwat This they would have realised few months ago when Iran was raining missiles on them and US-Israel couldn't do much to protect them.

@Chellaney This view will most likely end with Trump's term, so India just has to scrape through two years without making things worse.

[Samrat Chowdhery @samrat]

@vali_nasr I think Iranians sense that their time on the world stage has come.

[Samrat Chowdhery @samrat]

@KanwalSibal Not even that. It's meaningless words, like Trump's on Iran war ending many months ago.

[Samrat Chowdhery @samrat]

@pati_marins64 Iran's only option is not losing. It's Trump whose options become more limited as the crisis drags on.

@ms_medusssa They have been for Bangladesh and Nepal. This could be our GenZ Spring.

@johnstanly NYT has been putting out stories that look like plants lately.

@abhijeet_dipke @madversity This crisis exists across sectors in India. Despite strong laws on paper, women don't feel safe enough to publicly talk about controversial issues.

@ambkcsingh Looks like having failed to reshape reality, Trump admin will try to reshape perception about JCPOA to make it appear something better was achieved.

[Samrat Chowdhery @samrat]

@darab_farooqui @ms_medusssa Don't think it matters whether it's AAP or any political party. What matters is the sentiment, the pervasive youth angst, which no one can deny. Every political party should support it.

India got 'failed economy' jibe, highest tariffs and oil embargos, while Pakistan is close to US, China & Saudi. The series of missteps began with refusing to credit Trump for the ceasefire..

"During the call, he even mentioned to Netanyahu, when he asked him to stand down and to not go forward with the strikes in Beirut, he told him, 'If it weren't for me, you would have been in prison by now," @BarakRavid reports.

[Marc Caputo @MarcACaputo]

“What the fuck are you doing?!” Trump lit into Netanyahu over the Lebanon bombing:

“You're fucking crazy. You'd be in prison if it weren't for me. I'm saving your ass. Everybody hates you now. Everybody hates Israel because of this."

@BarakRavid & I

A battered Iran is doing more for Lebanon than US-Israel for battered Arab nations. Who would you want as your ally?

[Samrat Chowdhery @samrat]

@MouinRabbani Looks like Trump is done and now the only way out is to act tough on Israel.

[Samrat Chowdhery @samrat]

@cyalm Iranians deserved a better opponent. They waited 47 years for this?

[Samrat Chowdhery @samrat]

@jsiwat Both unfurled the flags on their political graves and legacies, so that's one upside.
