It's always "Iran-backed Houthis" and never "American-backed Israel"

#Iran - a true civilization; something that nobody can ever come close to challenging. The European settlers that are now in charge of the USA & occupied Palestine, definitely not Western ignorance and arrogance towards Iran must stop. Respect & cultural awareness is key.

Satellite images from March 28 show destroyed pistachio warehouses near Rafsanjan Airport in Kerman—the heart of #Iran’s pistachio industry. Iran was once the world’s largest pistachio exporter, but years of trade embargoes have allowed the US to cut into its market share. The choice of target in Rafsanjan points to a deliberate economic strategy.

Christians in Tehran freely celebrating Easter in their Cathedral. Christians in Jerusalem were blocked from doing this.
In Tehran today, Iranian Christians gathered for Easter at Saint Sarkis Cathedral. Iran has one of the oldest continuous Christian communities in the world — over 2,000 years old. These are the people that Trump wants to bomb “back to Stone Age.”

Whatever your view of Iran, this war is not of their making. This is already causing widespread economic problems and I fear they promise to get much worse if the war continues. Oman is working intensively to put in place safe passage arrangements for the Strait of Hormuz.

Je zou nu maar met anderhalve man en een paardenkop voor het Ministerie van Buitenlandse Zaken staan om met sjah-vlaggen en de Amerikaanse vlag te smeken om bombardementen op je eigen volk… Kon het niet laten er een protestleus uit te gooien. Fuck de VS en Israël! Fuck de sjah!

Larijani’s replacement will be appointed by IRGC. With every assassination U.S. and Israel engineering greater radicalization of Iran’s leadership. It will makes for a bleak future for Iran, Iranians, the region and ultimately makes it far more difficult for U.S. to disentangle itself from endless conflict in the region.

Four Iranian diplomats were killed today in Beirut after an Israeli strike hit the Ramada hotel. Not a single major Western broadcaster has covered this. It says a lot about how some lives are worth less than others.

You’re not ‘under attack’ in a vacuum. Your country launched an attack, an illegal war of aggression, and the country you attacked is retaliating. It’s called cause and effect.
Senator, I work for the Leader of the Opposition in Israel and I’m writing this from a bomb shelter with my children. Israel is under attack by fanatical terrorists who want to murder us. It never ceases to amaze that your humanity never seems to extend to Israeli lives.

Nothing to say about Israel's invasion and bombing of Lebanon, you foul woman?
Good call with President Joseph Aoun. I expressed Europe’s solidarity with Lebanon and its people. We are providing EUR 100 million in humanitarian support. Yesterday, we delivered over 40 tonnes of supplies and we plan to organise more humanitarian flights. I welcome the government’s decision to ban all Hezbollah military activities and its call to end all hostilities. We must ensure a sovereign and stable Lebanon for its people.

It’s an illegal war. European leaders have lost all credibility with their selective condemnations of wars, based on who launches them and who is attacked.
The European Parliament has long called for the regime in Iran to dismantle its State instruments of oppression, end its support for proxies of terror, abandon its nuclear ambitions and finally allow its people to be free to choose their own destiny. The events unfolding in Iran must not lead to a spiral of escalation that could threaten the Middle East, Europe and beyond. The Iranian regime's attacks this morning on GCC countries are inexcusable and unjustifiable. The regime in Iran must refrain from any further escalation in any targeting of the Gulf States, Israel or European or United States nationals. We are in close contact with partners in the region to try to find ways forward that protects innocent lives, international law and regional stability.

بعد ساعات من نجاح وزير الخارجية العماني في إقناع إدارة ترامب والرأي العام الأمريكي بجدوى الحل الدبلوماسي وقرب التوصل إلى اتفاق يحقق المطالب الأمريكية يقوم الكيان الصهيوني الغادر بتدمير كل الجهود العمانية ويشن حربا على إيران، اسأل الله القدير أن يمكن إيران من الصمود ودحر الإجرام!!

Like clockwork: as soon as diplomatic progress was announced via the Omani foreign minister, these violent maniacs launch a war.

Those who are framing this war as “preventative” would have to explain what they are preventing.

A CALL TO CONSCIENCE: AN APPEAL TO THE LEADERS OF THE WORLD The tragedy unfolding in Gaza is a test of our shared humanity. Entire families are being murdered. Children — even babies — have been killed. Others are wasting away from hunger. This appalling disregard for human life and dignity must end, for it is a violation of the most basic moral code. Malaysia calls on all world leaders to act with urgency. Every government that believes in international law, every nation that claims to value human life, must speak with one voice. In this regard, I urge all those with influence over Israel to find the courage to act decisively. I especially appeal to US President Donald Trump to use that influence to press for an immediate end to the killing, stop the indiscriminate bombings, and ensure that humanitarian aid reaches those in need without obstruction. This is the hour for moral leadership. This is the time to uphold the values we claim to defend. Malaysia stands ready to work with all nations—North and South, East and West—to bring relief to Gaza, and to restore the basic principles of humanity. Let us not be remembered as those who stood by. Let us be guided by our conscience, to answer suffering with compassion, and to pursue peace for the sake of our humanity. ANWAR IBRAHIM
