    “In a post on X, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council Ali Larijani declared that ‘Iran, unlike the United States, has prepared itself for a long war,’ stressing that ‘as in the past 300 years, Iran did not start this war and our brave Armed Forces have not engaged in any attacks except in defense’." Vowing a resolute response, he said Iran would ‘fiercely defend ourselves and our six thousand years old civilization regardless of the costs and will make the enemies sorry fo...

    “Benchmark Dutch and British wholesale gas prices surged nearly 50% on Monday after Qatar Energy, one of the world’s top liquefied natural gas (LNG) exporters, announced a halt in production due to the ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran. The suspension disrupted shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, a key route accounting for around 20% of global LNG trade, as tanker operators and trading houses paused deliveries amid Tehran’s warnings.” via Al Mayadeen English on Telegram https://t.me/almayad...

    @georgemonbiot.bsky.social Hatred thy name is McSweeney! Jonathan Cook hit the nail on the head: “In blocking the left from a visible political presence, in stifling its ideas and creativity in a time of crisis, Starmer is leaving the field open to the far right.

    @JazzyKindaFella@zirk.us @politics@newsmast.community @socialmedia@newsmast.community Even though I’m not religious, your excellent post has reminded me of the Old Testament prediction in Hosea 8:7 (which I doubt that ZioFascists like to quote) that “Israel will Reap the Whirlwind” “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind: it hath no stalk: the bud shall yield no meal: if so be it yield, the strangers shall swallow it up.” The assassination of Ayatollah Khamanei could...

    @GRA3432@mastodon.world @faab64@freefree.ps Hmmm … it does “smell” a bit like they’re some kind of CIA/ MI6/ Mossad effort to help destabilize Iran via one of those “surprising” attacks we’ve been hearing about from Israel/ US sources. Might be something else though. Just have to wait & see I guess.
