🇱🇧✝️☪️🇮🇷 Christians and Hezbollah Unite Against ‘Epstein Empire’

March 23, 2026 — Originally published in The Telegraph and since REMOVED from their website, though it remains accessible via Yahoo News.

Ras Baalbek, a Catholic town of 6,000 in Lebanon’s northern Bekaa Valley near the Syrian border, shows the complexity of the country’s sectarian landscape. Here, Christian residents have forged an unlikely alliance with Hezbollah to protect their heritage and their lives. Each year, the Iranian-backed group buys the town a Christmas tree, a small but symbolic gesture of solidarity.

“The relationship between the village and Hezbollah is stronger than with the Pope,” says Rifiat Nasrallah, 60, a quarryman whose marble sarcophagi line the cemetery. “The Vatican did nothing for us, but Hezbollah spilled their blood to protect us. The Pope only has prayers.”

Two Lebanese soldiers were in Rifiat Nasrallah’s home as he spoke. On the wall hung a crucifix beside a portrait of Hezbollah’s former secretary general, Hassan Nasrallah. The two men are not related. The image captured the coexistence of the village’s Catholic faith and Hezbollah’s presence.

During the Syrian civil war, the threat that brought Christians and Hezbollah together came from the east. Islamic State fighters attacked from nearby Qasr in Syria, kidnapping workers and threatening to behead villagers. The Lebanese army initially stayed on the sidelines. Hezbollah responded first, sending fighters and coordinating defensive operations alongside local residents.

“At first, it was only Hezbollah and the villagers who fought the Salafists,” Nasrallah recalls. “We fought together with missiles and rockets. Many were wounded, some died. I was nearly killed by shrapnel.”

The Lebanese army later joined in and is credited with driving IS out of the region by 2017, but the early defense cemented the bond between the Catholic village and the Shia militia.

Today, renewed regional tensions fuel anxiety in Ras Baalbek. Christians worry about attacks from Syrian Salafist groups, while Hezbollah monitors Israeli activity across Syrian airspace. Nasrallah is clear about his priorities. “Israel is our first enemy. Hezbollah is our friend.”

Shia refugees in the valley recall constant drone strikes, air raids, and daily violence during the last ceasefire. One described it as the “cruellest” period of the war. Trauma has deepened suspicion toward global powers. “We are at war with the Epstein people,” the refugee said. “They eat, fry, and rape kids. They are monsters. The worst part is they rule the world.”

For Ras Baalbek, Hezbollah is no abstract force. The militia defended the village from IS, provided medical care during Covid, delivered electricity when generators were scarce, and maintained Christmas traditions.

Nasrallah is unequivocal. “How can we as Christians here not be with Hezbollah? They protect our churches. They fought Isis with us. They gave us care, generators, even a Christmas tree. How can we not be with them now?”

💥📝🇱🇧🇮🇷🇮🇱 Lebanese political analyst Marwa Osman:

Yesterday was definitely not just another day in this war. It was a reality check.

Iran destroyed an entire district in Arad, occupied Palestine, with a supersonic missile. Even Israeli sources admit that about 20 buildings were destroyed, hundreds of people were killed and injured, and the bodies are still buried under the rubble. Let's just say, when 1,300 rescuers are sent to one strike zone, you can't call that anything else.

An hour earlier, there was astrike on Dimona. Many buildings were destroyed, dozens of people were injured, and here's the message: Dimona is just nine kilometers from the Israeli nuclear reactor. Iran is no longer acting covertly. It's loudly declaring: next time, we won't miss our real target.

Then came the psychological warfare. A warning to Doha was issued and then cancelled. "A mistake," they said. Maybe. Or maybe it was a message delivered exactly as intended and very well understood.

And now the biggest change: Iran officially declares that it controls Israeli airspace.

This means that the next missiles won't just fall - they will arrive unimpeded. No warnings, no interceptions, just a strike. A direct consequence of the systematic disabling of the radar shield that once protected Israel. So, in essence, Iran will act exactly as Zionist Israel did over Iran, Lebanon, and Yemen.

This changes the rules of the game. Remember when on the 15th day, Israel and the US declared that Iran was "neutralized"? The 23rd day simply showed how dangerous and false that lie was.

1. They don't know how many missiles Iran has.
2. They don't know their real range.
3. And judging by the strike near Diego Garcia, for which Iran still hasn't taken official responsibility, they underestimated him [Iran] all along.

This is a change of doctrine. You see, the holy month of Ramadan has ended. In Islam, we are forbidden to "wage war" during this month. Iran was simply defending itself. But now Eid al-Fitr has arrived (congrats😉), and Iran is starting to show the aggressors what an offensive means.

And if this trend continues, don't be surprised if the world wakes up to something even bigger - like a nuclear test, not as a first strike, but as a deterrent.

Because what's happening right now is no longer a localized conflict. These are early signs of a historic defeat [for Israel], one that will surpass the Yom Kippur War [i.e., the 1973 Arab-Israeli War].

'Israel's new border must be the Litani': Israeli minister demands annexation of south Lebanon

Israel has sought to annex south Lebanon for decades to secure additional water resources and expand 'Greater Israel'

https://t.me/thecradlemedia/55354

❗️Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich, speaking to Israel's Radio 94FM:

"The battle in Lebanon must end, at the very least, with the Litani River becoming the new border of the State of Israel. We must, of course, continue striking Hezbollah and decisively defeat it."

Host: "Do you mean establishing settlements?"

Smotrich: "No, not at this stage. We are talking about a fully cleared security strip. Alongside the security aspect, there is also the need to instill in the enemy the ‘cost of mistakes’ and the ‘cost of defeat.’"

"Arabs, whether in Gaza or Lebanon, do not calculate in terms of casualties. What matters to them is land and territory. Everyone in the region dealing with us must understand that when they lose, they lose land to us."

The shamelessness of these ghouls will never stop making my blood boil. I'm genuinely going to throw a party they get their just desserts.

Qalibaf doing some trolling

We, the Handala Hack , have today initiated a new phase of Operation Lockheed Martin.

We now possess the complete data of 28 senior American engineers based in the occupied territories and involved in military projects—including names, identification numbers, passports, places of residence, and service bases. All of this information has been leaked .

These engineers, who have worked for years in key technical roles for the occupier’s military, were engaged in critical projects such as the maintenance of F-35 and F-22 fighter jets and the THAAD defense system. The veil of technical secrecy has now been lifted.

In recent hours, we have established contact with some of them to demonstrate just how fragile digital barriers can be. From conversations about their daily interests to ordinary details of their lives, all was done to show that “privacy” is merely a word in a book, not a reality.

We called them and told them where they live, the names of their children, their favorite foods, their weekend activities, and the locations of their families’ residences in the United States.

They were told they have a limited time to change course and leave an area that is no longer safe. We warned that delaying their decision means entrusting their fate to a storm that has already begun—a storm made not of smoke and fire, but of data and exposure.

They were given 48 hours to cease cooperation with the Zionist regime and leave the occupied territories immediately. Otherwise, their homes would become missile targets. We also have friends in the United States who care more for their families than they do themselves, and if they do not return home, these friends will visit their families.

Go home right now.

Well, this IS praxis

This had my mother and I cackling.

From Tajikistan to Iran! Solidarity keeps pouring for the Iranian comrades!

🇮🇱🇺🇸🇮🇷The New York Times reports that the war in Iran actually began due to a large-scale failure of Israeli intelligence.

The "Mossad" allegedly made a strategic bet on an internal uprising in Iran, which turned out to be a fatal mistake. Subsequently, Israeli special services and the country's leadership convinced Washington of the need for a coordinated strike, but the plan completely failed.

It was assumed that the targeted elimination of the top religious and political leadership of Iran would provoke a mass protest movement, and armed Kurdish forces on the borders would become the core of direct military pressure on the ground.

The American intelligence community was initially skeptical of this scenario, pointing to the lack of real prerequisites for such a development of events. Nevertheless, the Mossad's arguments about the "quick collapse of the regime" became decisive for involving the US in a full-scale conflict. And it was probably not easy to argue with Trump, as there was a real risk of losing funding and jobs.

As a result, Washington found itself hostage to a strategy based on a weak hypothesis: that an external military "roll" would lead to an instant destabilization of power. In practice, however, this caused the opposite effect - an unprecedented consolidation of the Iranian leadership and a sharp escalation of the conflict.

❗️Israeli chief of staff warns that Israeli forces as 'on course to collapse'

According to a report from Ynet, Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir issued a stark warning during a cabinet meeting, declaring that Israel forces are “on course to collapse into themselves" under mounting internal and operational strain. Zamir cautioned that force requirements are rapidly expanding while the army remains overstretched across multiple active fronts, from Gaza and Lebanon to Syria and the occupied West Bank.

The warning came as the government pressed ahead with expanding illegal outposts in the occupied West Bank, further burdening an already depleted military. Zamir highlighted a surge in Israeli settler violence, forcing the redeployment of additional battalions, while stressing that the growing demands on manpower are incompatible with current capabilities. At the same time, the government has failed to pass legislation addressing recruitment shortages, including laws on ultra-Orthodox conscription, reserve service, and extending mandatory military service.

According to Zamir, the situation is approaching a breaking point. “The reservists will not hold,” he warned, raising “10 red flags” over the army’s sustainability. He added that, at this pace, Israeli forces may soon be unable to maintain even routine operational readiness.

Bloomberg tanker data shows no evidence of the eight oil tankers Trump claimed were in the Strait of Hormuz.

Only two Iran-linked LPG carriers were observed leaving the Persian Gulf on Thursday—likely the “extra two” he mentioned.

While some vessels disable tracking for security reasons, most ships recently transiting Hormuz have kept their signals on.

In total, just four vessels—a pair of bulk carriers, one container ship, and one LPG carrier—were confirmed exiting in recent days.

Comrades, I will take a one day break(or maybe 2 days break) on updating this thread! Wanted to give you a heads up in case you don't see me posting.

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.

France is saying that Iran's strikes have demolished 30 to 40% of the oil refinery capacity in the Gulf, resulting in a shortage of 11 million barrels a day on the global scale. It also says it could take up to three years to restore the facilities.

Buckle up, guys.

🇮🇷 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.

🇮🇱❌🇮🇷🇷🇺 Now we know why Russia warned about the Caspian.

Last week Israel struck Bandar Anzali, Iran's main Caspian port, hitting warships, a command center, and a shipyard. Israel's first ever strike on the world's largest inland sea.

The Caspian is the primary corridor for Russian-Iranian military and trade cooperation such as drones, artillery, ammunition, wheat, oil. Shipments through Bandar Anzali tripled last year.

The WSJ calls this "smuggling." Russia and Iran are two sovereign states conducting bilateral trade and military cooperation. The only crime is that Washington sanctioned it.

Russia condemned the strike. Peskov warned further spillover would be viewed "extremely negatively." Israel didn't publicly mention Russia when announcing the attack, deliberately avoiding forcing Moscow's hand.

It struck the corridor anyway.

From Sony Thang:

Let's be honest about what the American bases in the Gulf actually protect.
They protect the governments.
From their own populations.
This is not an accusation.
This is the stated architecture of the security relationships.
The American security umbrella is explicitly extended to protect the governments from external threats and, crucially, from internal instability.
Meaning from the possibility that the population might decide it wants a different government.
The deal is simple:
You give us basing rights, access, intelligence cooperation, and compliant foreign policy, and we make sure you stay in power regardless of what your people want.
This is why the Arab Spring was contained where it was contained and not where it wasn't.
This is why certain governments survived 2011 and others didn't.
This is why the American military footprint in the Gulf expanded, not contracted, in the years after popular uprisings showed what populations actually wanted.
The bases protect governments from democracy.
And those same governments, protected from democracy by American power, are using those bases to argue that Iran is the threat to regional security.
The threat to regional security is the idea that Muslim populations should have a say in whether their governments normalize with Israel.
The threat is the idea that the ummah's resources should be used for the ummah. The threat is the example of a government that said no to the arrangement and is still standing.
That is the threat. Iran is the threat.
Not to the people.
To the arrangement.
And the arrangement is using the people's land, and the people's resources, and the people's Islam, to protect itself from the threat.

❗️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.

Repeating something I said on the first megathread, is that this war could last a few more days or a few more decades. It’s a war and we don’t know what will happen, so if you’re feeling like it’s too much you could, and perhaps should, stop following it. Iran and allies are likely to suffer more casualties than the empire’s army that was built with the stolen riches from all of the world, which might just make it harder to follow for some.

Iran has a plan and from my observations so far seem to be executing it really well though, so a second victory like last year or better is quite possible!

— I personally talked with one Arab-Israeli settler living in Israel.. Upon sirens they are not allowing them to enter into shelters.

Along with them worker from India are also not allowed to enter into mobile shelters, they are forced to hide in sevage or basements.
