This entire pseudo analysis simply can't justify the #PMLN, #PPP, #FazalurRehman, and the likes, come what may.

Please understand, people may not necessarily be supporters of #PTI. But for sure, they're fed-up, and sick & tired of this filthy status quo

Do PTI people ever wonder why almost all the Pakistani progressive lawyers, writers, journalists and academics in the social sciences and humanities are generally critical of PTI? They can't believe that we are all lifafas can they?

[Farrukh Raza @smfarrukhraza]

Possibly, according to the US's cost benefit analysis:

Strategic cost of aerial campaign (including body bags returning to USA and destruction to US military assets in region) is less than the advantage of degrading Iranian infrastructure plus the embarrassment to USA in the end

[Farrukh Raza @smfarrukhraza]

Forget who's right & who's wrong here.

What actually can USA achieve by this self-exhausting aerial bombardment on Iran, which it couldn't achieve by literally having boots on ground in Afghanistan for 2 decades, before quitting embarrassingly..

Context!

[Turgay Evren @TurgayEvren1]

The plan is, to a large extent, simple—and it was put together by cool heads behind the scenes.

The idea is this: instead of launching attacks on Iran directly from Israeli territory, use the territory of Arab countries as the staging ground.

That way, when Iran retaliates, it strikes targets in those Arab countries. This then helps create the narrative that “Iran is attacking Arab states, not Israel,” providing justification for building regional support against Iran and potentially drawing more Muslim-majority countries into the conflict.

Many Muslims, despite decades of observing U.S. and Israeli policies, may react through the lens of nationalism without asking a crucial question: Why did some Arab countries allow their territory to be used for attacks on Iran in the first place?

The headline presented to the public may read:

“Iran attacked Saudi Arabia.”

But the fuller context would be:

“U.S. forces launched attacks on Iran’s civilian infrastructure from Saudi territory, and Iran responded by targeting a U.S. military base in Saudi Arabia.”

@omar_quraishi We understand your desperation & frustration. You're unveiling your hatred & animosity about #Iran.

It's funny to read your rants on your TL regarding this matter.

Rest assured, Iran is a different nation. They'll not accept conditions which subdued nations normally accept.

@omar_quraishi Nations who were western colonies can never understand the thought process & mindset of a liberated nation.

Maligning IRGC for the dignified stance of Iran's civilian leadership can be a scoring point, but exposes subdued mindsets & stooges.

@SouthAsiaIndex It seems it's time to unfollow this account. People started following this account considering it one of rare anti Status Quo voices.

It appears this account has succumbed to the status quo.

ARM THE IRANIAN PEOPLE ...

IMHO, the people of Iran need to be armed.  Even if there are divisions among various opposition groups.  We cannot defeat the regime, which has demonstrated time and again it must be defeated, without the people within Iran having a fighting chance to destroy the regime from within.  I am not sure what the hesitancy is.  If arms were stolen, by whom and for what?  Regardless, it is the most direct way to take down the regime.  As I've pointed out before, President Reagan used this as part of his doctrine against the Soviet Union -- in Afghanistan, Angola, Nicaragua, etc.

[Dewan Sachal @essel1]

Wasn't India a name given by the invading Britishers of The East India Company ? Prior to that it was small pieces of many Different names like Rajputana , Maratha Empire, the State of Junagadh, The Mysore State, Hyderabad State etc
The Mughal Empire called it Hindustan not India
History won't change even if you don't know it

[Farrukh Raza @smfarrukhraza]

You've beautifully highlighted the performance of your government (regime)!

This underscores why a transparent #election process is vital to form a credible government (run by a leadership that is "actually" elected by the people).

The credibility of #Trump & #USA has stooped to such a level, even an ex U.S. official doesn't believe if USA will comply the ceasefire according to its official commitment

Trump is consistently destabilising the world & being deceitful to #Iran to attack again

#Israel
#Lebanon

[David Pyne 🇺🇸 @AmericaFirstCon]

I would not be shocked if Trump attempts to land thousands of US troops on Kharg Island this weekend under the cover of the cease-fire and when Iran tries to shoot our troop transports down in defense of its own territory, he will accuse Iran of being the aggressor and violating the cease-fire agreement.

🔶 ما قاله وزير الخارجية القطري خطير لدرجة الصدمة: منظومة "باتريوت" الأمريكية المتطورة لم تستطع حتى أن ترصد الصواريخ الإسرائيلية أثناء الهجوم! هنا لا نتحدث عن خلل تقني عادي، بل عن سؤال وجودي يطال أمن الخليج كله.

هل هذه المنظومات عاجزة فعلاً أمام الصواريخ الإسرائيلية؟ أم أن السر أخطر: أن المصنع الأمريكي برمجها عمداً لتكون محدودة أمام أهداف معينة؟ والأدهى من ذلك… هل من الممكن أن تكون هذه المنظومات مزوّدة بخاصية تحكم عن بُعد، تُعطَّل في اللحظة الحرجة بإشارة واحدة من الخارج؟

إذا كان هذا صحيحاً، فالمعنى مرعب: كل أنظمة الدفاع الجوي الخليجية قد تتحول في لحظة من "درع حماية" إلى مجرد ديكور، عاجزة تماماً إذا كان الخطر قادماً من "الجهة المحظورة".

[Farrukh Raza @smfarrukhraza]

@musmanmalik @Shinamuller The difference between a free mindset & an enslaved mindset can be easily understood by Iranian standpoint!

Those pushing Iran to accept unconditional ceasefire (just to wait for another attack afterwards) represent enslaved minds since centuries.

Iranians are free people!

[Farrukh Raza @smfarrukhraza]

@hilo236 @HormuzLetter Yes, instead the world badly needs a HOLY regime that abducts & kills head of states, seizes trade of countries by blockading international waters, snatches oil & minerals, habitually attacks other countries, and starts never ending wars thousands of miles from its own territory

[Farrukh Raza @smfarrukhraza]

Since decades they mislead the Irani nation about a fake freedom. In fact, they wanted to send Iranians back to #stoneage & snatch the tremendous educational development #Iran has achieved even after decades of illegitimate #sanctions

[Vali Nasr @vali_nasr]

Sharif University of Technology (founded as Arya Mehr University in 1966) is an icon of modernization and progress in Iran. Its alumni include the first woman to win the Field Medal in Mathematics, Maryam Mirzakhani. It has been a national symbol of achievement, gaining international recognition for the quality of its graduates, large number who have been admitted into the very best engineering programs in the West. The aim of this kind of wonton destruction could only be the nation of Iran itself.
