🇮🇷 IRGC Air Force Commander Seyed Majid Moosavi:
"You tested us once before; the world saw again that you yourselves started playing with fire and attacking infrastructure. This time, the equation will no longer be an eye for an eye; wait and see."
He then addressed workers directly: employees of industrial companies associated with the U.S. or Israel should immediately evacuate their workplaces.
❗️Iran mobilizing 1 million fighters to repel invasion, warns of ‘hell’ if US launches ground war
Iran has announced the mobilization of one million troops in preparation for what it calls a “suicidal” US ground war on Iranian soil, with particular focus on defending the strategic Kharg Island, through which nearly 90 percent of the country’s oil is exported.
A military source quoted by Tasnim News Agency described a surge of enthusiasm among land forces, prepared to create a “historical hell” for any invading US troops.
The official also highlighted a sharp rise in volunteers for the Basij paramilitary, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and the regular army, with youth flooding recruitment centers over the past several days. Any US attempt to forcibly reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the source warned, would be “suicide,” emphasizing that Iran is fully ready to maintain control of the crucial waterway amid ongoing tensions.
I think Kharg Island is a ruse and they're actually going to try to land in the southeast
That really is the only other place they could try I think. Perhaps they are still thinking they can get Balouchi separatists to join them in an uprising against the state, however I think that's very unlikely.
If they are targeting Sistan-Balouchistan, then it'll probably be launched from the Fujairah port of the UAE, though I could be a wrong.
Took US media to admit what everyone on this instance knew for 10+ days.
It was only a matter of time before the truth of the conditions of the imperialist military bases found its way to the American public.
Kash Patel current director of the FBI Hacked
Today, once again, the world witnessed the collapse of America’s so-called security legends. While the FBI proudly seized our domains and immediately announced a $10 million reward for the heads of Handala Hack members, we decided to respond to this ridiculous show in a way that will be remembered forever.
Kash Patel, the current head of the FBI, who once saw his name displayed with pride on the agency’s headquarters, will now find his name among the list of successfully hacked victims. The so-called “impenetrable” systems of the FBI were brought to their knees within hours by our team. All personal and confidential information of Kash Patel, including emails, conversations, documents, and even classified files, is now available for public download.
This is the security that the U.S. government boasts about?! This is the cyber giant that thinks threats and bribes can silence the voice of resistance?! To the whole world, we declare: the FBI is just a name, and behind this name, there is no real security. If your director can be compromised this easily, what do you expect from your lower-level employees?
Dedicated to the martyrs of the Dena destroyer.
This is just our beginning…

Lessons for every country that is looking at their chances when considering whether to capitulate or push back.
❗️UN official resigns, claims body 'is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use'
Mohamad Safa, the main representative of the Palestinian Volunteer Association (PVA) at the UN, announced on X that he is suspending all duties with the organization and its committees.
Safa accused UN senior officials as “serving a powerful lobby and not the UN,” and added that he "cannot in good conscience be part of or witness to what is happening at a time when the UN is preparing for possible nuclear weapon use.”

Isn't this, like, extremely concerning? 👀
It has me very worried but I'm not really sure what to do st this point.
This, combined with today's attacks on Iran's industries and the expected Iranian response, is not a good look.
📺 🇮🇷Iran’s AI propaganda video masterclass
Iranian media, IRGC-affiliated channels, influencer networks and independent content creators are flooding social media with a stream of polished, emotionally powerful and hilarious AI-generated videos, with some surely destined to be featured in future documentaries and lectures on the history of the current conflict.
Far from the AI slop content that we’ve all become used to, many of the videos serve as effective propaganda in the best sense of the word - the dissemination and deliberation of info and ideas to put forward Iran’s case in the face of US-Israeli aggression.
The clips feature:
🔴 regular references to Baal, the devil-horned demon of Western occult tradition associated with child sacrifice, which Iran effectively declared war on in February amid the publication of the Epstein files
🔴 abundant references to the files themselves, (correctly) framing the war as an existential struggle between Iran and the global Epstein class
🔴 multiple videos making reference to the brutal double tap attack on an Iranian girls school on day 1 of the war
🔴 a series of endearing, Lego-inspired videos, from a modern retelling of the Quranic Battle of the Elephants featuring Trump and Netanyahu, to a full-length rap about Trump the reckless gambler
🔴 comedic clips, like Trump talking to himself while pretending to negotiate with the Iranians
🔴 a video feat. Scott Ritter on Trump’s total ignorance of the Shia faith, the Twelvers, the story of Husayn ibn Ali, the Battle of Karbala, and the fact that for Iranians, this is a religious war
🔴 and even a movie trailer-style “based on a true story, unfortunately” clip featuring real-world actors parodying Netanyahu’s ‘Iran is two weeks away from a nuke’ rhetoric and the chaos unleashed by Trump’s decision to unleash this war.

🌾🚜 The global food crisis unleashed by the war. From Minnesota to Punjab, fertiliser costs are up and harvests are set to be hit
In Punjab, farmers are beginning to panic.
India’s agricultural heartland is feeling the reverberations of the war in the Gulf, according to Rajpal Singh, who grows rice, wheat and corn in the region.
People were already struggling to access fertiliser due to government controls, Singh says. Now, with the start of the rice planting season just three months away, the war is threatening to choke supplies of vital crop nutrients entirely. It has already meant six-to-eight-hour power cuts in his village an hour-and-a-half’s drive from the city of Ludhiana.

With corn planting just three to four weeks away, he is looking at huge losses — if he even manages to buy enough fertiliser. “With the economic climate we have now, it’s hard to find credit, it’s hard to find cash.”
The threat to food security, however, may be just as grave a risk. “You can live without your fridge or without your car for a while,” says Michael Werz, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations. “You cannot live if you do not have food staples.”
The impact on the global food system caused by the Iran war could be even bigger than the crisis triggered by Russia’s 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine, experts say.
That is a particularly serious concern for the world’s poorer countries, but the longer the conflict lasts, the more severe the food shock will become and the more people will be affected.
The disruption is already having an impact. Across Asia and Africa, fuel cost rises have pushed food prices higher. African countries such as Kenya, Somalia, Tanzania and Sudan, which are especially reliant on seaborne fertilisers, are already suffering. In Somalia, prices of basic foods have risen by around a fifth since the conflict began, according to the UN’s World Food Programme.
Other regions are bracing for their harvests to fall short if the conflict continues. South Asian nations such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh rely on gas imported from the Gulf to produce their own crop nutrients.
Even countries less directly exposed, including the US, will feel the effects through higher prices.
What will be primarily an economic problem for some will be an existential one for others. Some 45mn more people in poorer countries could face acute food insecurity by June, according to the UN — on top of 318mn who are already insecure.
“In every market you have to get food from rural areas into cities — usually on diesel-powered trucks,” says Raj Patel, a food systems scholar at the University of Texas. “All of that gets paid for by the wholesaler and, ultimately, the consumer.”
In Bangladesh, in the northern district of Dinajpur, rice farmers say they have gone days without reliable access to diesel, needed to power irrigation pumps and threshing machines.
Higher fuel and transport costs are also pushing up prices in local markets across Africa, according to the UN. “The food has not disappeared — it is still there,” says David Laborde of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organization. “But it is becoming more costly to move it, to process it and ultimately to access it.”

Preface: There always exceptions, but many of those are due to harassment of the imperialism,not the failure of the country. This statement is made against the imperialist and it's benefactors, not the victims.
Lands can be made to grow without importing massive amounts of fertilizers. Countries can develop energy infrastructure without constant oil imports. Countries can become self sustaining if they cared to. These countries have become laggard and gluttonous off of the ease of global trade and imperialism.
🚨🇧🇭 Public outrage erupts in Bahrain
The incident has sparked anger and demands for accountability.
The Bahraini terrorist Israeli puppet regime has killed a Shia youth, Sayyid Muhammad al-Mousawi.
The Prisoners Affairs Authority in Bahrain announced the martyrdom of prisoner Sayyid Muhammad al-Mousawi, who had been arrested at a checkpoint two weeks ago.
The family of Martyr Sayyid Muhammad al-Mousawi received a call from the army to come immediately to a military hospital to view his body, where clear signs of torture were visible.
Severe distortions from torture were evident on his face, along with marks of electric shock on his limbs. His whereabouts had been unknown since his arrest at a checkpoint of the Khalifi army around one to two weeks ago.

❗️Statement by Hamas:
"The occupation’s announcement extending the closure of Al-Aqsa Mosque until mid-April reveals its intention to exploit current circumstances to impose full control over the site, regulating its opening and closure in line with its Judaization projects.
This unprecedented closure since the occupation of Al-Aqsa is not a security measure as claimed, but a calculated step to empty the mosque and create conditions for settler incursions and the advancement of so-called Temple groups’ plans.
What is taking place against Al-Aqsa Mosque constitutes a direct assault on the beliefs and sanctities of Muslims, confirming that the occupation continues its plans with arrogance, disregarding Arab, Islamic, and even international condemnations.
We warn of the seriousness of the coming phase, particularly with increasing calls for incursions during Hebrew holidays and attempts to impose Talmudic rituals at the site.
We call on our people to mobilize toward Al-Aqsa, its gates, and the nearest points of access, and to strengthen steadfast presence by all possible means. We also call on the Arab and Islamic nations to assume their responsibilities in confronting what is one of the most dangerous assaults on the mosque in its modern history."

❗️UN investigation finds possible war crimes by multiple parties in Syria
A UN investigation reported on Friday that over 1,700 people were killed, nearly 200,000 displaced, and multiple actors, including Syrian government forces, tribal fighters, and Druze armed groups, committed acts that may constitute war crimes in southern Syria in July 2025.
The 85-page report by the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Syrian Arab Republic found that at least 1,707 people were killed in Suwayda Governorate, mostly civilians from the Druze minority, along with members of the Bedouin community and at least 225 government personnel.
The UN Commission stated that violations were committed by all major parties to the fighting.
The report noted that tribal fighters accompanying government forces during the initial phase of the operation acted under the state’s effective control, making their actions attributable to the government, while other fighters were considered direct participants in hostilities.

Almost a month after the start of the latest US and Israeli military offensive against Iran, the price of fertilizers has risen by 25%, which is already impacting food production costs in Mexico and around the world, said Jorge Esteve, president of the National Agricultural Council (CNA), on Wednesday.
“Approximately 35% of the global urea supply is produced in the (conflict) area and passes through the Strait of Hormuz. Furthermore, 20% of the world's fertilizers are produced in this area,” Esteve said at a press conference.
Urea is a derivative of natural gas and an essential input for the production of nitrogen fertilizers. “The price of fertilizers is rising by over 25%,” he said.
The increase comes at a time when farmers are preparing for the planting of the next agricultural cycle, where the fertilization of the land does not stop.
Get ready folks. It is going to get ugly.
And the clown keeps going...
He's flip flopping and contradicting himself in one tweet. Are they "begging" or not "being serious"? We are nearing the point of maximum flip flop entropy. Soon he will put out a tweet where each word contradicts the last and moment later he will reach a point of perfect balance between flip and flop. Many people thought that it would be Macron who would reach the state of flip flop perfection first but trump's acceleration has been quite impressive as of late. I believe what we are about to witness is the Western Liberal Democratic Politician's version of Nirvana.
Imagine twitter being around in world war 2 and having Stalin shit talk Hitler online
I have a theory that shit talking only happens because of social media, not the other way around.
People with large groups of followers are able to gain more clout and more attention by shit talking. Smaller personalities then mimic them.
I’m looking at the Stalin archives, and they are very respectful in the way they communicate.
I know this is probably the least of our concerns but I wonder if he doesn't understand how to use quotation marks.
The way he uses it here would at surface level gives the impression that he does not really think the Iranians are "strange" or "begging" but I wonder if he just using as emphasis where italics, for example, would have been more appropriate.
But then again he did say before "so called "straight" [of Hormus]" in quotations (and spelt incorrectly) implying he is not sure why it is called a strait because it is not straight and does not know the difference at the time between straight and strait.
And then on the otherside we have battle hardened polylingual leaders with advanced degrees in philosophy and mathematics while British radio journalists trying to be condescending to Iranians for daring to fight and speak out against imperialism.
Using quotation marks for emphasis is in-style for boomers on facebook, so you're probably right. Also using them for scare quotes, sometimes in the same sentence, adds to the charm.
This is manufacturing consent. Some people exclusively rely on him for news

Venting
I'm posting this to express the brutal costs of empire, of what the imperialists do in their dying cling to relavence. Each one if these people's lives are worth 1000 times more than all the blood soaked riches the West has stolen. Pahlavists see these people as sacrifices for the sake of healing their wounded egos, an arrogance that was stung by Iran standing on its own merits and principles. The monarchists are cowards who can’t fathom anything besides shivering under the puts of the powerful, like rats that subsist off the rotten meals of humans. They are terrified to look within themselves and see that their theory of humiliation for a fragment power was proven wrong by the Islamic Republic weilding power without submission to anyone.
And the imperialists are of course lashing out because they have nothing else they can do. They destroy families, tribes, entire peoples, all for the sake of a meaningless goal.
If there is one thing I want instilled in Western leftists, the thing that is probably the most difficult for them to understand, it's that the Iranian government is sacrificing everything in an effort that will eventually allow the people of the US to free themselves. The retreat of imperialism leaves the US ruling class with less access to the means which they use to maintain power, and Iran is valiantly fighting for that future.
I'm sick of hearing about "theocracy" and other excuses that western leftists use to denigrate the Iranian struggle. They need to accept that the popular struggle in Iran has taken the form of the Islamic Tepubluc and that the IRI is unquestionably one if the most morally upright nations on earth due to their sacrifice for the tangible liberation of West Asia.
This family was not sacrificed on the alter of Iranian capital or Iranian theocracy or Iranian bourgeois nationalism or any other dismissive rhetoric. This family was martyred in their people's uncompromising struggle to free their entire region. Their blood was spilled by Western empire who only seeks to consume for the sake of consumption in an endless glutinous rampage.
I urge my comrades to remember their faces to the best of your ability.

The United Arab Emirates is facing an existential crisis. Under a barrage of Iranian drones, the petro-state’s illusion of stability is disintegrating, and its status as a global hub for finance and tourism is eroding.
Yet, even as its own survival is tested, the UAE’s commitment to the destruction of Sudan remains unshakeable. While the UAE faces a domestic food crisis due to collapsing imports, it continues to export weapons fueling the g*nocide in Sudan, perpetrated by its proxy, the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) militia.
Complete analysis:
spoiler
As reported by Le Monde, the UAE is developing new supply routes. On Sudan's eastern border, UAE-linked cargo planes are making repeated flights to Ethiopia, where according to a Reuters article a secret RSF training camp has been established. Meanwhile, alleged "infrastructure" investments in the Central African Republic seem to serve as a strategic cover for a supply base in western Sudan.
Even as its own home burns, the UAE persists in this campaign because g*nocide is a business model, and the blood of Sudanese people is a low price to pay.
Firstly, despite having no mines of its own, the UAE seeks to dominate the global gold trade, even as it is unable to export the gold looted by its proxy militia.
Secondly, despite a lack of rain, the UAE seeks to dominate the global food trade by turning Sudan’s fertile banks into a private breadbasket. Yet its own supermarket shelves are rapidly emptying, amid supply challenges facing a state that imports 90% of its food.
Thirdly, the UAE aims to establish a maritime empire through Sudan’s strategic ports, despite currently being unable to defend its own coastline.
By fueling a massacre while its own territory comes under fire, the UAE is once again showing its commitment to g*nocide in Sudan.
It is still too early to know whether the war on Iran has disrupted the UAE’s supply lines to the RSF. However, the wider impact on aviation is already significant. If airspace closures, flight cancellations, and security risks continue to ground or severely restrict flights in and out of the UAE for a sustained period, then the flow of weapons being transported onward to Sudan would also be reduced.
