This British-Iranian lady at 31:22 eloquently summarizes the sad state of affairs: youtu.be/LO7lRhj1Nqw?...

"I don't think war is unforseeable"... youtu.be/5ootNMaQiPM?...

This has got to be a new low for this excuse for a human. An insult to caregivers across the country, whatever their ethnicity. How can someone sink to these levels? What happens if he becomes sick? If his loved ones do?

I'm doing some personal research for a loved one with dementia and found this on the Alzheimers Soc website. Is the smiling man the most prolific stock image guy ever...?

"Pretend these missiles are just stars" πŸ˜₯

Not the best headline for a German newspaper

Oh, Europe... 😒

From the Jerusalem post The plan re: Balkanisation of Iran into numerous separate states post regime change This is the carrot to convince other countries in the area to either support the US/Israel or at least stay out of it from the Arab states to Pakistan and Russia

Also worth watching @limmy.com's take on what we should do post all-out nuclear war Bonus cat www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyBs...

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 πŸ˜₯, 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 πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯πŸ˜₯

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 πŸ™πŸ» "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 πŸ˜₯

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 β€œwe 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
