Iranian Musician, Ali Ghasmari plays next to a power plant, as Trump threatens Iran with war crimes including destroying power plants.

Trump: "We're gonna bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong". Keep in mind that an initial justification for the war was to "help" Iranians.

Stone Age?
At a time when you were still in caves searching for fire, we were inscribing human rights on the Cyrus Cylinder.
We endured the storm of Alexander and the Mongol invasions and remained; because Iran is not just a country, it is a civilization.

Iran's education system should be studied to see how they managed such amazing results despite being hammered by sanctions for 47 years.
@Dr_HariniA
Why Iran still holds its head high!
Spending close to four per cent of GDP on R&D (India spends a paltry 0.7 per cent; the US four), Iran is among the world’s top 25 (top 10 in a few) in nanotech, AI, robotics, pharmaceuticals, and other frontier technologies. With 4.35 million (2017 figures) students in more than 2,000 universities (India has fewer than 1,300), and more than a quarter of them in engineering sciences, Iran is not only the knowledge leader in the Islamic world, but is aspiring to be among the world leaders in technology. With all the sanctions in place, students are state-funded to enrol in western universities, and sages from abroad are invited to lecture in Iranian institutions.

.@jonstewart's panel of Trumps can agree on one thing: the guy who started the war in Iran is a "low IQ individual"

After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

If we don't educate children in history, culture, languages, religion, traditions, ethics and critical thinking preferring instead to limit them to STEM subjects, then we are raising a generation of easy to manipulate morons. This is becoming ever more obvious today.

Breaking 🚨 news
Sri Lanka has announced that it will grant a free one-month visa to seafarers rescued from Iranian ships, in addition to providing them with humanitarian protection.
After Spain, Sri Lanka comes to affirm that humanity is the greatest religion. 🫡❤️♥️

Israel is the only country in the Middle East with nukes. Why aren’t we talking about that?
Watch @mehdirhasan break down mainstream media’s biased coverage of Israel vs Iran.
*This was filmed in June last year when Israel attacked Iran’s nuclear facilities.

(That’s how power cuts and fuel queues were eliminated and tourism was revived.)
IMF engagement was frowned upon
CB Governor And Secretary to the Treasury were crucified for advocating and implementing the reforms.
All remains,
That’s how economic stability was achieved
Rupee stabilized
Reserves were built
Inflation was brought under control.
While finding fault with everything and voicing and voting against and keeping those parameters as it is and yet not owning the responsibility for any of the above 👆
Claiming credit for taking the country out of bankruptcy.
Pathetic! to say the least !

Successive governments have imposed price controls to reduce prices and controlled imports to promote local production and exports; only to fail miserably.
Is the new government repeating the same mistakes?

#RanilOnFirstpost: In an exclusive interview to @palkisu, Sri Lankan President @RW_SRILANKA said Former Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina should remain in India.
"If she is out of the country - let her be out of the country. We all want Bangladesh to focus on normalcy."
