Reid: Why did the Iran hostage crisis take place?
Todd: Because fundamentalist radicals took over the government
Reid: They overthrew the shah who we imposed on Iran because the Dulles brothers, one at the CIA and one at the state department, decided that the oil beneath the soil of Iran belonged to BP and belonged to us. And when mossadegh, who was the leader of Iran, the democratically elected leader of Iran, said that we would like to audit BP because we want to know if you are cheating us or paying the people of Iran based on the oil under their soil. And they said, you may not audit us. And then we overthrew him and he wound up dying in prison because we decided in our arrogance as a country, got to own their oil.
The West was just waiting for Iran to attack one of their bases in the region and now the “condemnation” is flooding in. Yet the almost mass wipe out of the Palestinians by Israel since Oct2023 was and still permissible #IranIsraelConflict#Palestine#GazaHolocaust
I am gravely alarmed by the use of force by the United States against Iran today. This is a dangerous escalation in a region already on the edge – and a direct threat to international peace and security.
There is a growing risk that this conflict could rapidly get out of control – with catastrophic consequences for civilians, the region, and the world.
I call on Member States to de-escalate and to uphold their obligations under the @UN Charter and other rules of international law.
At this perilous hour, it is critical to avoid a spiral of chaos.
There is no military solution.
The only path forward is diplomacy.
The only hope is peace.
The direct involvement of the US in the IranIsraeli war will certainly have a critical impact on the global leaders and its nations and how they will all continue their respective countries.
Will this be another era of Iraq invasion #Iran#USattack
I had a great phone call this evening with the new Prime Minister of Canada @MarkJCarney
We reaffirmed Australia and Canada’s deep friendship and our commitment to a world where all countries can cooperate, trade and thrive.
I look forward to working with Prime Minister Carney to strengthen our partnership and deliver benefits for both nations.
Every Australian has the right to worship openly and proudly.
I visited Australian Islamic House Masjid in Edmonson Park in Sydney with Anne Stanley to reaffirm that my Labor Government respects and values the contribution Muslim Australians have made to our country, and that we always will.
The Greens condemn the horrific attacks on civilians.
We condemn the occupation.
It's time for a just and lasting peace.
To achieve peace the occupation of Palestine must end.
@NeaminZeleke Your likes were parading all support to finish off Tegarus and Oromos, now that he has lessened the attack on them you are fabricating lies. This event has nothing to do with Abiy and you know it so well. Go have a dig elsewhere 😎
Who is the “human animal” those occupied for over 50 years or those annihilating innocent civilians through bombs and blockades for over 50 years? And yet the world blindly ignores the truth on the ground #Palestine#Israel
All of a sudden Israel is the victim and the world is wailing. This continued bias will not resolve much and will not help the civilians on both side #Palestine#Israel
They never show you this map on the news. That's because it provides the crucial context necessary to anyone wanting to understand the Israel/Palestine situation.
Sending warm wishes to All Oromos home and abroad!
Irreecha represents the transition from the cold and wet season to the warm and vibrant Spring, a season of revival, renewal, and jubilation.
It is a time when nature itself join us in celebration.
blossoming into the green and flowery birraa season.
thanksgiving to Waaqaa, guided by our Abbaa Malkaa, Abbaa Gaddaas, and Qaallus.
From where I sit Irreecha is more than just a holiday; it is a testament to the power of our unity and community.
This celebration reminding us of the importance of coming together as one people. It also serves as a bridge of understanding, connecting us with friends and neighbors from other communities, fostering mutual respect, and promoting harmony.
Happy Irreecha!!
