Just give a free iran to the Nazanins. They are more level-headed and empathetic than the rest. Hug your closest Nazanin @nazaninboniadi.bsky.social time.com/7294819/the-...

Can I ask 1 simple question from Iranians who somehow believe the US & Israel desire Iran to prosper (+ want Reza Pahlavi post regime-change) Why has Trump not met RP once? Why, over 2 tenures, have more of Trump's people met the flipping MEK over Reza Pahlavi? www.theguardian.com/world/2019/j...

Can we make Sheffield-based nuclear bomb (and aftermath) TV film Threads compulsory viewing please? 1984 - Threads (Remastered) archive.org/details/1984... For everyone. Please....

Iranian Women: Trailblazers for women around the world. From Commander Pantea (559BC) leading the immortals to Commander Apranik (651AD), the commanding role of women in ancient Iran horrified Greek and Roman male-dominated societies of the respective eras. medium.com/doctoryak/ir...

This article by Mahesh Sachdev (who is he?) from @thehindu.com is the most ignorant thing I've ever read Miixing up Babylonians (who imprisoned the Jews) with Cyrus & the Persians who freed the Jews, whom have lived in Iran for millenia and very well respected. Who pays these people

The othering The dehumanisation Mixing innocent people with their regimes - on all sides of conflict. The people of Tehran are mostly all just ordinary people living their lives. They didn't arm Russia or arm proxies in the middle east. They didn't ask for this. Bani Adam.

I wish I didn't have relatives in Tehran 😥, so I could actually enjoy this battle between America First and Trump First...

The hatred in particular from so many pro-Ukraine accounts towards Iranian people is really saddening, given how many Iranian people support Ukraine So many of these accounts say Nuke Iran/Flatten the country Dehumanising and conflating human beings with the regime 😥😥😥

Iran has so many sites of world heritage - how many would you like to visit? In these difficult times, may Iran, and the world, see better days ahead 🙏🏻 "Human beings are members of a whole, In creation of one essence and soul" Saadi of Shiraz (1210-1291) medium.com/doctoryak/52...

Thoughts with all the innocent people - those who are sick, immobile, who can't evacuate this city as bombs are raining down on it 😥

How does this guy, Senator Mike Lee, square these jokes/memes about the murder of two contemporaries, with his "proud Mormon beliefs" What is he getting in terms of religious message here? Also, shouldn't he be expelled from office?

"their tanks and their bombs, and their bombs and their guns" Stop killing innocent people Stop dehumanising and othering

The distrust of the UK and US after messing around with Iran's democracy in 1953, with Russia also meddling at the beginning of the century, sowed the seeds for the disaster of the 1979 revolution and the mess we see today. They should teach this in schools

Iranians in the UK on LBC: youtu.be/vvmBLyI0REk?... Different views. Worth listening to because these are what people say. I wonder how some of these views will change over time.

Today marks nine years since Jo Cox MP was murdered by a far-right extremist while serving her constituents in Batley and Spen. Jo dedicated her life to building a fairer, more compassionate society, and her belief that “we have more in common than that which divides us” continues to resonate.

Isfahan has one of the oldest continuous Jewish populations in the world. They've somehow survived the Islamic Republic. Despite everything. I really hope they, and the city's Muslims, Christians, Zoroastrians, Atheists, Agnostics and others, survive this... #Judaism #JewishHistory

Still disgusted with the @royalsociety.org , seeing another weekend of Musk promulgate far-right conspiracy theories and racist/ethnonationalist accounts. The oldest continuous scientific society with die a slow death. They really could have stood for something. Been scientists

My cousin is having investigations and treatment for bowel cancer, and my auntie is very unwell. Uncle just died. How do people needing specialised medical treatment, disabled & sick people move? Is this part of Israel Katz' "The residents of Tehran will pay the price, and soon" plan?

Active synagogues in East Tehran (There are almost a hundred synagogues in Iran - and one of the oldest and most stoic of populations who stay DESPITE the ruling regime, out of respect to their forefathers for millenia) Hoping that innocent people of all faiths, or no faith at all, stay safe.

Netanyahu's Defence Minister: "The residents of Tehran will pay the price, and soon" Bit of a contrast to the message that we are targeting the leaders, not the people...

This is a toddler

Bella Ramsey has got some dynamo in that left-half role #SoccerAid

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Sliding doors - imagine if Netanyahu had stayed in the military Yitzhak Rabin would still be alive instead of Bibi inciting for his murder Hamas would have been neutered Iran's regime is a gift... at least no one is talking about his fraud case any more #IsraelIranConflict
