Throwback Iran on X - "Do people still buy the Minab school story?
First they told us all the kids died Now they tell us there are survivors
First they told us it was a US tomahawk Now they tell us it was actually drones
First they told us it was an all girls school Now they tell us it was mixed gender
First they told us they had a video of the tomahawk Now its just a bunch of he said she said and “trust me bro”
First they told us the school was nowhere near a military compound Now they say it was actually just on the corner of an IRGC base
The regime’s narrative is self contradictory and all over the place. Nothing adds up."
Mossad Commentary on X - "‼️🇮🇷 INTERESTING: The Islamic Republic just contradicted itself on state TV over the Minab school bombing. An IRGC officer admitted they saw drones, tried small arms, then set up a DShK and shot them down. That directly clashes with the regime’s claim of a U.S. Tomahawk strike. A Tomahawk hits within seconds—you don’t have time to set up heavy weapons, let alone engage. And you’re not shooting down a cruise missile with small arms or a DShK. The timeline only makes sense for drones, not missiles. One of these stories is impossible. (The Iran Watcher)"

And yet there are still moral imbeciles waving the flag of this Islamic Mafia through the streets of European cities, calling it “resistance.”"
Something Good? Something Bad? A Little of Both? - "Ironically, I was switching channels the day Operation Epic Fury began, looking for something to provide background noise while I worked, and I tuned in to the 1996 Independence Day movie at the exact moment the President was proposing that there could be a truce between the aliens and humans. The alien said there could be no peace and when the President asked what the aliens wanted humans to do, the alien answered with one word, “Die!” Needless to say, I immediately saw a parallel between that movie dialog and the situation in Iran because that is essentially the same answer Iran and its proxies been giving America (and Israel) for almost 50 years. This action brought out the pacificists, the magical thinkers who believed the Obama Iran deal was working, the anti-Americans who demand we must always believe the Mad Mullah regime, along with the lying political opportunists who never miss an opportunity to be wrong... When I look at both the Old and New Testaments, there seems a stark difference between the two. It almost seems like contemporary Christian belief is anchored in the New Testament while the world is reverting to Old Testament mode. That is an oversimplification and not entirely accurate, and I have been working through how best to phrase it. The root of the thought is that Christianity appears to be facing challenges that look far more like Old Testament conditions than those of the New Testament. I do think many Christians fail to recognize the existential risk represented by more radical actors, such as those found in fundamentalist strands of Islam, because we are spiritually immersed and intellectually bound in New Testament thinking. There seems to be a pattern restarting, driven by a climate that feels far more Old than New Testament. Even that framing is not quite right. What I am sensing is not a simple return to Old Testament times, but a recurring dilemma. A belief system rooted in moral restraint must adapt when the surrounding environment becomes less predictable and less reciprocal. The real question is not which testament applies, it is how to hold onto New Testament principles while navigating realities that increasingly resemble those described in the Old Testament. This tension is not new, even if it feels newly urgent because Christianity itself was born into it. The teachings of Jesus Christ were delivered in a world where His followers had no power, no army, and no realistic path to either. The instruction to turn the other cheek was not only a moral command, but it also functioned as a survival posture within an empire that crushed rebellion without hesitation. The early Church did not conquer Rome through force. It endured, persuaded, and outlasted, relying on moral clarity rather than physical dominance. The Old Testament reflects a completely different set of conditions. Faith was tied to a people, a land, and a lineage that could be extinguished. The threats were immediate and physical, not theoretical. Survival required not only belief, but defense. The world described in those pages does not assume reciprocity or shared norms. It assumes danger, instability, war, and the constant possibility of annihilation. The modern West, shaped heavily by New Testament ethics, has grown accustomed to a world where moral appeals carry weight, where rules are broadly accepted, and where even adversaries operate within some shared framework. That assumption has become so embedded that it often goes unnoticed. When actors enter the equation who do not share those assumptions, who reject reciprocity and operate without the same constraints, the gap between moral expectation and lived reality becomes more visible. This is where the concept of “Just War” becomes relevant again, not as a rejection of Christian teaching, but as an effort to reconcile it with the world as it exists. Thinkers like Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas recognized that personal moral obligations do not erase the responsibility to confront real threats. Their work was an attempt to place boundaries on force rather than deny its necessity entirely, preserving moral accountability while acknowledging the existence of danger."

Ida Turan 🇮🇷 ایده توران on X - "This relationship between Europe and Muslims from the 3rd World, whether it’s the Islamic regime occupying Iran, the Palestinians, the Syrians, is like a woman in marriage to a violent, narcissistic addict. She is living in absolute hell. There is no future. Her children are in real danger every single day. Yet she refuses to leave him. No matter how much support she is given, no matter how many times she steps away, she always goes back to playing the long-suffering, self-sacrificing wife. She simply cannot let go of that role. And he knows it. That’s why he never stops. Why would he? He gets whatever he wants. He beats her, cheats, abuses the children, steals from her, and forces her to go out and work just to pay for his next fix. There is no bottom for him, because she is always there to enable him. On the surface, everyone sees him as the problem. But when you look closer, the real pathology is her, the wife. She is the other side of the narcissistic coin. She is addicted to that warm glow of moral superiority she gets from her endless sacrifice and compassion. She can’t stop chasing it. She will never walk away from the very thing that gives her the sense of being the “good one.” These kinds of relationships are disastrous. They don’t just destroy the woman, they poison the entire family, exhaust everyone around them, and create misery and chaos for all the people forced to live with the consequences. And far too often, the woman ends up beaten to death in one of his sudden rages. Look at what Europe has actually done to Iran. You sent Khomeini from Paris, you created and fed this monster in Iran, you laundered its money, you dressed it up with endless talk of engagement and democracy, and you kept the Islamic regime alive for decades, at the direct cost of Iranian blood and lives. You still pretend the regime has not slaughtered 40,000 of its own people. You pretend it is the victim of America and Israel. It’s your costume, you reward and cover savagery as long as they are Muslim from 3rd world. You pretend the men who raped women, mutilated children, and paraded hostages like savages on 7 October were not Palestinians. Yeah Israel were committing genocide, by blockading Gaza, as if Gaza never had a border with Egypt. You push for a Palestinian state anyway and keep calling them pure victims, while sweeping every obvious fact under the carpet and laundering lies and libels through your “human right“ activism. You continued legitimising Assad after he butchered hundreds of thousands of his own people, destroyed Syria, and created millions of refugees, then opened your doors wide to his followers and others like them. Then came the waves of refugees and migrants. They brought terror attack after terror attack, turned neighbourhoods into no-go zones, and left your daughters raped and assaulted in shocking numbers. Yet instead of drawing any line, you keep paying them more with your own taxpayers’ money while they grow ever more entitled and demanding. You bow, you apologise, you make excuses, you strengthen your favourite muslim terrorists. Go ahead. It’s your choice. But we Iranians have learned the truth about your so-called human rights the hardest way possible. We now know our real enemy is you. We are no longer waiting for you. We will take our country back, with the help of America and Israel, with the leadership of our crown holder, the rightous ruler of our country, we will rebuild it, and we will push your destructive influence out of the way. You can keep defending the terrorists of the Islamic regime occupying Iran. You can write glowing articles about them in your papers, and attack America and Israel while congratulating yourselves on your virtue. You can celebrate the Pope who never said a word about the regime hanging innocent people from cranes, but made sure to condemn Trump for not respecting the “rights” of terrorists and murderers. We don’t care anymore. We will push you away, we will not let your sick, corrupted virtue-signalling continue to enable the people who are killing us. We will cut you off. But remember, you’ve earned every bit of what’s coming. And at this point, a lot of us have no sympathy left for you. #JavidShah #MIGA #ThankYouTrump #ThankYouBiBi"
Bahar Akhavan on X - "This week was tough. I had dinner with my intelligent friends from European countries, people who have spent half their lives working within the United Nations. We were having a good time until the conversation turned to Donald Trump and Iran. Everyone, without exception, spoke badly of Trump: that he causes problems for everyone, that war is terrible, that it is illegal, and so on. I stayed silent. When everyone finally became quiet, I asked only one question: who is actually going to collect and remove those more than 400 kilograms of uranium? My French friend said: Trump is no better than the regime. On top of that, he has started an illegal war, and many countries have nuclear power plants why shouldn’t Iran have them too? I exploded inside, but I remained silent at first. When I finally broke my silence, I said: was it illegal when the United States helped the French during the Second World War? Was it unnecessary? Then silence returned. I kept thinking about how to express everything happening inside me; how to explain the regime to a European-someone surrounded by left-wing ideology, enclosed within indirect forms of censorship, and always ready to say that war is terrible, yet surprised when I say many Iranians wanted it. How do you explain to people who live in safety that some nations sometimes see outside pressure as the only remaining path when every internal path has been closed? How do you explain that they do not even speak in geopolitical terms, but judge only from a position of moral comfort, while others are speaking about survival? Europeans who, despite democracy and free internet, still do not know what happened in Iran on January 8–9. Europeans who believe every conflict can be understood through the same moral template. Europeans who condemn all violence in theory, but have never had to live under a Islamic system where violence is part of everyday life. And I sat there with the feeling that the distance between our realities was greater than the table around which we were sitting…"

Majid on X - "I am still shaking from a soul-crushing Uber ride today in Dublin. It started with "Where are you from?" I said Iran, and the driver's face lit up as he thought he'd found a partner in his hate. He looked at me and said, "It must be crushing what the f ing Israelis are doing to your country." The moment I pushed back, the moment I told him the truth, that I support Israel and want to see the regime in Iran fall, he erupted in pure rage. He began screaming about his uncle's high rank in the IRA, glorifying terror as a "success story" to justify the total erasure of Israel. To be trapped in a car with that level of brainwashed vitriol, being shamed and attacked for defending the Jewish people, is a burden I can't describe. Being Iranian is so incredibly taxing. You spend your life fighting the regime that destroyed your home, only to have strangers weaponise your identity to justify their antisemitism. To my Jewish friends: I see the hate you face. I will never stop standing with you, no matter how much it costs. 🇮🇱🦁☀️"
Aimen Dean on X - "If you’re looking for a polite take, this isn’t it. I’ve said it repeatedly on the Conflicted podcast: Pakistan was never a neutral mediator between Washington and Tehran. Not for a second. What we’re watching now is not diplomacy, it’s pure manipulation dressed up as statecraft. Let’s call things by their proper names. Under field marshal Asim Munir, Pakistan isn’t some balanced civilian democracy playing honest broker. It’s a military system with a democratic façade, pursuing its own interests with a level of cynicism that should surprise no one who has followed its behavior over the past two decades. What did they sell to Donald Trump? A fantasy. A pipe dream. That the Islamic Republic can be reasoned with. That it is pragmatic, not ideological. That it is capable of compromise if only you flatter it enough and give it incentives. In short: that you can extract “the deal of the century” from a regime whose entire strategic doctrine is built on resisting precisely that outcome. And Trump - obsessed with the optics of a deal - bought it. Meanwhile, senior voices inside Pakistan weren’t even pretending neutrality. A defence minister pushing conspiratorial narratives, blaming the “Zionists,” portraying Iran as a victim, while 6,000 missiles and drones were raining down on GCC states that host millions of Pakistani workers. That alone should have been disqualifying. If a country is willing to throw its own economic lifeline (the Gulf) under the bus for ideological or tactical alignment with Tehran, what exactly makes anyone think it would safeguard American interests? And here’s the uncomfortable part: this isn’t new. We’ve seen this movie before. The United States spent years, treasure, and blood in Afghanistan, only to discover that Osama bin Laden, and his network, were living comfortably in Pakistan all along - while Pakistan was simultaneously cashing in on US counterterrorism billions in funding. They didn’t fail to find the target. They bloody managed it. Why end the hunt when the hunt itself pays and pays pretty well? Fast forward to today, and the pattern repeats, only this time the battlefield is Iran. At the very moment the regime was under maximum pressure (militarily strained, economically cornered, strategically exposed) Pakistan steps in, not to mediate, but to buy Tehran time. Time to regroup, breathe, and ultimately survive. That’s not mediation. That’s intervention - on one side. From a cold, historical lens, this may well be remembered as the pivot point. The moment when pressure was lifted prematurely. When momentum was lost. When a winnable strategic position was traded for the illusion of a negotiated breakthrough that was never going to materialise, ever! Five years from now, looking back, this could read like a familiar chapter: First Afghanistan - undermined from within. Now Iran - diluted from without. In both cases, Pakistan didn’t just mislead Washington. It shaped the battlefield to its advantage, all while claiming partnership with a clueless US administration. And Washington, once again, chose to believe what it wanted to hear."

Moral Inversion and the Iran War - "A recent poll found that among Democrats under 50, Iran is viewed more favorably than Israel—a data point that would have been unthinkable a generation ago, and one that demands explanation. The Iran war has revealed that a surprising contingent on both the left and right express sympathy—or even open support—for the Iranian regime. Even professors of anthropology, such as Alireza Doostdar at the University of Chicago, have intoned that “the best and only hope for peace is the power and durability of Iranian missiles.” The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) harbors explicit genocidal intentions against both Israel and the United States, famously branding these allies as the “Little Satan” and the “Great Satan.” It pursues nuclear weapons in service of those aims and presides over one of the world’s worst human-rights records. How is it possible that a regime defined by repression of freedoms at home—subjugating women, dissidents, LGBT, and others—and genocidal incitement abroad, could become an object of admiration among people who claim to advocate for human rights? A recent study we carried out at the Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI)—an organization that gathers data on how malicious narratives propagate in digital contexts—in collaboration with the Rutgers University Social Perception Lab found that “participants who expressed greater agreement with anti-Israel ideology more strongly endorsed Soviet and Nazi propaganda that featured both generic antisemitic tropes and anti-Israel tropes, had more left-wing (“progressive”) authoritarian attitudes, and rated the human rights records of some of the world’s worst human rights violators more favorably than those who expressed lower levels of agreement. Anti-Zionism, a worldview that casts Israel as the pinnacle of injustice while presenting itself as moral resistance, predicts what we call Moral Inversion Syndrome: a pattern in which the perceived human-rights standing of Western democratic states declines relative to that of authoritarian regimes. The study asked a representative online sample of Americans to rate the human-rights records of various countries and correlated those ratings with traits measured by validated psychological scales. According to our data, the more one expresses essentialist prejudice against Israel, or Jews, the more distorted one’s moral judgment becomes in general. That distortion may show up first as a moral equivalence that many respondents draw between liberal and authoritarian states. Those with strongly anti-Zionist attitudes (as well as traditionally antisemitic ones; the two attitudes were correlated though not identical) often place oppressive regimes such as Iran, China, or North Korea on the same moral plane as liberal-democratic states like the United States or Australia. And Israel is seen as the worst of the worst. Since 1948, anti-Zionists have formulated their cause as an inversion of the moral and legal right of the Jewish people to self-determination, which was recognized by the United Nations at Israel’s founding. Beginning with early efforts by the Arab League to promote a Palestinian “right of return” for refugees displaced in Israel’s war of independence—not to a future Palestinian state alongside Israel, but inside of Israeli territory, so as to dismantle the Jewish state—Israel’s very essence has been cast as immoral, unjust, and opposed to the post–WWII international order... Time and again, movements proclaiming liberation have carried out terror, from the Rwandan genocide against Tutsi “colonizers” to the Cambodian genocide against urban elites and “pro-American imperialists.” Even the founding father of 19th- and 20th-century antisemitism, Wilhelm Marr, defended his anti-Jewish agitation as “no more than a cry of pain from one of the oppressed.” Across the archive of mass atrocity, totalizing ideologies have inverted moral reality, recasting victims as oppressors and oppressors as righteous victims. Recent work by scholars of antisemitism and anti-Zionism has emphasized how contemporary anti-Zionist libels often reproduce Soviet propaganda slogans—such as “Zionist colonialism” or “Zionists are Nazis”—disseminated globally after the 1967 war, when the Soviet Union sought to mobilize the third world against “international Zionism,” a canard that recast Jewish political rights as a global conspiracy against the rights of others. Consistent with this pattern, our study finds that when respondents were shown Soviet anti-Zionist propaganda images—depicting Israelis as Nazis or linking the Star of David with dollar signs and swastikas—those who more strongly endorsed the images were more likely to make morally inverted human-rights judgments... Unsurprisingly, our study also finds that anti-Zionism and moral inversion correlate with “left-wing authoritarianism”—attitudes aimed at dismantling established hierarchies and norms in order to impose ostensibly “progressive” ends. In the present day, the UN can hardly bring itself to condemn Iran’s targeting of Israeli civilians using cluster munitions, yet has no hesitation in establishing commissions to accuse Israel of genocide, collapsing the distinction between civilian casualties and the intentional destruction of a group... If anti-Zionism—whether in its left-wing form or in the increasingly visible right-wing variant promoted by figures such as Tucker Carlson—constructs Israel as an all-encompassing symbol of political evil in the contemporary order, then the Iran war takes on a more fundamental meaning. It begins to appear as a confrontation between the possibility of moral judgment and an ideology in which the very distinction between right and wrong has been turned upside down.”
"Humanity" just means hating Jews and the West. This is no surprise, really - we know that terrorist supporters and left wingers just hate Jews and the West rather than being motivated by other moral principles

The Iran Watcher 🇮🇷 on X - "🚨 A devastated husband took his own life after regime agents raped his dead wife’s body and sent him the photos. Islamic Republic security forces raided the home of Saleheh Akbari and her husband Ahmad Khodaei. Saleheh, a 38-year-old nurse, operating room technician, and mountaineer, along with her husband, had opened their house to wounded protesters during the January 2026 uprising - people too terrified to go to hospitals because the regime was hunting them down. They treated the injured. They hid them. They saved lives. A few days later, regime agents stormed in. They beat Ahmad. Saleheh threw herself between them to protect her husband. They shot her point-blank in the heart - right in front of him and their young child. She died in his arms. Then came the unspeakable: agents assaulted Saleheh’s lifeless body, took photos of the desecration, and sent them to Ahmad as psychological torture. The sexual harassment and horror he endured pushed him beyond any human limit. Broken by grief, Ahmad posted a final goodbye letter to his wife on Instagram and took his own life. Two kind, brave souls - a mother and father who only showed humanity in a regime that has none - are gone."
Iran International English on X - "Senior Iranian officials have grown frustrated with a plan to generate revenue from shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, with little money collected despite expectations of significant income, sources familiar with the matter told Iran International. Iran moved early in the war to control traffic through the strait and charge tankers about $2 million for transit permits, setting up a committee led by Mohammad-Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council. But the effort has produced limited results, with only about 60 permits issued, payment requests sent for just eight shipments and no funds collected so far, the sources said, citing weak management of the process. The outcome has triggered concern at high levels of government and within the office of Iran’s supreme leader, they added. Discussions have taken place about removing Zolghadr from the role and shifting oversight of the file to President Masoud Pezeshkian, according to the sources. https://iranintl.com/en/202604162208"
