۱/پیش از مذاکرات تأکید کردم که ما حسن نیت و ارادهٔ لازم را داریم ولی به دلیل تجربیات دو جنگ قبلی، اعتمادی به طرف مقابل نداریم.

همکاران من در هیئت ایرانی میناب۱۶۸ ابتکارات رو به جلویی مطرح کردند ولی طرف مقابل در نهایت نتوانست در این دور از مذاکرات اعتماد هیئت ایرانی را جلب کند.

One of the largest waves of Israeli strikes so far has just hit over 60 locations across Beirut and beyond.

Deaths are mounting. Destruction is massive. Civilians are paying the price. Again.

They are not a target. They must be protected.

[sarah @sahouraxo]

Apocalyptic scenes in Lebanon’s capital right now.

Israel has launched 100 airstrikes on Lebanon in 10 minutes.

Striking South Lebanon, Beirut and the Bekaa Valley simultaneously.

This isn’t a ceasefire.

It’s mass bombardment of civilian areas.

Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez calls for an end to veto power in the UN Security Council.

Israel bombed Lebanon with banned phosphorus munitions, violating Security Council resolution SCR 1701, ceasefire agreement, and international law with absolutely no consequences.

This is another war crime and the International Criminal Court remains silent.

JUST IN: 🇮🇷 Iran says any Arab or European country that expels Israeli and US ambassadors will get free passage through the Strait of Hormuz starting tomorrow.

1. What a huge loss. Professor Walid Khalidi was an intellectual titan. A doyen of modern Arab and Palestinian historians. A pioneer of debunking Zionist fictions, and uncovering historical truth. May he rest in peace.

Here is a reminder of some of his important publications.

[Mr Sharma @sharma_views]

🚨 CHINA: Immediately halt military action against Iran

ANCHOR: Is the war really about Iran’s nuclear program?

VICTOR GAO 🇨🇳: Israel has nuclear weapons yet denies Iran the same right.

One country can have nukes. Another cannot.

THAT’S THE DOUBLE STANDARD DRIVING THIS WAR.

[Mike Sowden @Mikeachim]

A while back, I learned something mindblowing about the geological history of the Mediterranean Sea, and I just can't get it out of my head.

Now I'm going to make it *your* problem too. Sorry.

Hang onto your hat. This gets wild.

What happens next?
Israel and the USA will plead desperately for a ceasefire to replenish missile stocks.
European "democracies" will condemn Iran for not agreeing a ceasefire.

Israel has violated ceasefires in Lebanon and Gaza continuously.

France’s former PM Dominique de Villepin calls for sanctions against Israel and the US over their attacks on Iran:

“We say clearly to the United States that their war against Iran is illegal, illegitimate, and dangerous.”

[🇮🇪Ireland4Palestine🇵🇸 @HensonJames11]

Iran has released a video of the strike on the girls school.
A US tomahawk missile is clearly visible, debunking the US blatant lie. They also struck the same school 40 minutes later to murder those involved in the rescue effort.
THE US DOUBLE TAPPED A SCHOOL!

[Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump]

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

[Walid Mahmoud @walidmahmodrouk]

Yes, this is Tel Aviv.
For decades, the world has been told a very simple story.

That Israelis are the victims.
That they deserve endless sympathy, endless solidarity, and unlimited military support.

For decades they have presented themselves to the world as the victims.

But I grew up in Gaza, and the reality I saw with my own eyes tells a very different story.

When I was a child, electricity cuts were part of daily life. Darkness was normal.

My grandfather was a farmer.
Every single day he risked his life just to work his land.

Israeli tanks would fire toward him while he was farming.

At night, Israeli bulldozers would cross the border, uprooting trees, destroying agricultural facilities, and flattening farmland that families depended on to survive.

Farmers in our village lived under siege and occupation, struggling to protect their land from being erased overnight.

Meanwhile, just across the fence, Israeli kibbutzim were brightly lit day and night.

Lights blazing even in broad daylight.
Music blasting at night.

For people living in Gaza with constant power cuts, it felt like a deliberate message:

We have power. You live in darkness.

And the harassment didn’t stop there.

At night, there would be gunfire toward homes near the border, terrifying families trying to sleep.

This was daily life for Palestinians living along the Gaza border.

Yet somehow, the world was told a completely different story.

For decades, one side mastered the art of presenting itself as the victim ,while the people living under siege were barely heard.

[Michel Eléftériadès @elefteriades]

We all agree this war is asymmetrical.

How could it not be?

On one side you have people like:

Dr. Ali Larijani (Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran) author of three essays on Immanuel Kant, his writings are studied in Western universities:

• The Mathematical Method in Kant’s Philosophy
• Metaphysics and the Exact Sciences in Kant’s Philosophy
• Intuition and the Synthetic A Priori Judgments in Kant’s Philosophy

And:

Dr. Abbas Araghchi (Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran) PhD from the University of Kent.

His doctoral thesis:
“The Evolution of the Concept of Political Participation in Twentieth-Century Islamic Political Thought.”

And on the other side?

Donald Trump.

A man whose vocabulary barely exceeds 200 words.

Most famous quote:

“Grab ’em by the pussy.”
