BREAKING: Iran is now openly considering forcing Google, Meta and other tech giants to obtain permits, undergo technical inspections and pay “sovereignty fees” for undersea internet cables passing through Iranian waters, per Tasnim News.
Major cable systems including FALCON and GBI cross the Gulf, turning the Strait of Hormuz into a strategic digital chokepoint. More than 99% of international data traffic travels through undersea cables, giving coastal states leverage over critical global connectivity.
The move follows Mohsen Rezaee’s threat to destroy undersea cables, data centers and AI facilities across the region if the U.S. and Israel resume the war, claiming those assets are worth over $2 trillion. Iran is now threatening the Gulf’s digital infrastructure with destruction — while also seeking to charge companies for access.
"If you're Jewish or non-Jewish, please, let the world know:
Thousands of Orthodox Jews lined up in London to oppose Zionism while chanting “Israeli Government Shame On You!”
Our voice is silenced that’s why you don’t hear from us, but NOT because it’s not there.
Torah Observant Jews understand the dangers of Israel’s false claims of representing Jews and are pushing back strongly!
Help us get our voice heard!
Today I marched with New Yorkers to abolish ICE, get ICE out of our communities, and make NYC a true sanctuary city.
Jessica Tisch must be fired, but the real onus is on the mayor, who was elected with the immigrant rights movement’s backing.
The mayor must enforce his own Executive Order 13 and kick ICE out of our city: no ICE staging in public parking lots, no presence at Rikers.
We can do far more to obstruct Trump’s rampaging paramilitaries.

Former Irish President Mary Robinson, 81, and former New Zealand PM Helen Clark, 75, are at the Rafah border crossing protesting against Israel.

For more than two months, I have been working on a truly horrific story about one of the gravest war crimes committed by the United States since Vietnam: The bombing of the Shajareh Tayyebeh school in Minab, Iran. It was one of the first targets struck in the opening hours of the war on February 28, 2026.
At least 156 people were killed in the U.S. cruise missile strikes—120 of them were children and 26 were teachers. We spoke to survivors, first responders, parents, doctors, teachers, psychologists, and other witnesses. Some of them had never before shared their experiences of that day.
It would be impossible to do justice to what happened in Minab that day with words alone. In more than 25 years in journalism and reporting on war, I do not believe I have reported on a more heinous single crime.

Please share this story with as many people as you can.
In a statement to Israel's Haaretz newspaper tonight, Trump's DHS says ICE detention of Yehonatan Ovadia is justified bc he was "harassing Jews."
Wait: a rabbi detained for participating in Hasidic demonstration against Israel 3 years ago was harassing...himself? What a joke!!
We asked Rabbi Goldberger for his take on Israel’s claim to be the “state of all Jews.”
His reply was unambiguous:
“Israel is not a Jewish state. It is not the state of the Jews, and Jews are not a nationality.
Treating Judaism and Zionism as the same thing is the main reason antisemitism is rising.”
Zionism is the opposite of Judaism.

Check out the overwhelming support for Yehonatan Ovadia, an anti-Zionist rabbi who appears in immigration court today. Yehonatan is in ICE custody and facing deportation to Israel because he attended an anti-Israel protest in 2023.
Free Yohanatan!
“The condition of my people, my history, was very much connected with other oppressed people.”
One year after her passing, we remember Assata Shakur, who dedicated her life to fighting for socialism and Black liberation.
Clashes between Orthodox Jews and Israeli authorities reveal a scene many never expected to see:
Religious Jews protesting Israel, that claims to speak in their name.
Judaism and Zionism are not the same.

Nothing pulls back the curtain so completely as the spectacle of an indicted war criminal perpetrating an ongoing genocide being received as a VIP inside the UN, while those protesting the genocide outside are arrested en masse.
