Disgusting and deranged soceity. I hope that when the US inevitably restarts the war, Iran goes even further and levels every zionist outpost to dust. Make it look like Gaza, and let the settlers scurry like rats.
Iran (and the wider Axis of Resistance) should also treat the zionists the same way they have been treating Palestinians, Lebanese, and Indigenous people in West Asia. zionists deserve everything coming for them.
🇺🇸🇮🇷 On the Next US Attack on Iran…
A US war of aggression is like a rocket launch. It depends on a multitude of factors being ready or “go” for launch.
If any critical system is not ready at a particular time, then the launch is scrubbed and rescheduled for the next available window.
Trump isn’t in charge of anything and makes zero decisions - except (maybe) the color tie he wears. He is not setting dates or conditions for attacks. He simply sells these decisions to the public.
US war against Iran has been planned and prepared for over decades and will “launch” when the unelected corporate interests actually driving US policy say it is “go,” based on conditions within material reality - not on an “elected” politician’s whims.
These conditions likely include available stockpiles, rates of replaced munitions, force postures (both US and Iranian), economic factors, etc.
Iran and its allies are even able to change these considerations by introducing additional means of deterrence that complicate US objectives necessitating additional preparations by the US to overcome such deterrence.
Many of these factors are secretive - all we can say for certain is that the US does not seek peace and will eventually restart hostilities, it is only a matter of “when.”
The purpose of further US attacks would be to provoke further degradation of regional energy exports (not just Iranian energy exports) to further cut off China and the rest of Asia, and enhance the ongoing US blockade of Iran.
Yes, the ultimate goal is toppling Iran’s government but there are many more immediate objectives and wider global objectives the US is pursuing as it targets any one single nation for eventual regime change.
Again, US policy is not dictated by figureheads like Trump or Hegseth.
It is directed by continuity of agenda and the interests behind it - the same interests behind Iraq, Libya, Syria, Venezuela, and Iran, spanning multiple US presidential administrations…
❗️Covert UN mission successfully rescues millions of historical Palestinian refugee documents from Gaza
A highly sensitive, ten-month clandestine operation by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) successfully evacuated millions of historical archival documents from the Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem, safeguarding generations of Palestinian records. The Guardian reported on 14 May that the complex mission involved dozens of UN staff members across four countries racing against intense bombardment, cyberattacks, and shifting frontlines to prevent the permanent destruction of the files.
The rescued documents, many dating back to 1948, include original refugee registration cards, birth certificates, and land records that provide the sole legal and historical evidence of displacement for hundreds of thousands of stateless Palestinians.
The first phase of the 10-month operation began under heavy fire after Israeli forces ordered the evacuation of UNRWA’s Gaza City headquarters in 2024. Turning down appeals to leave the files behind, a small team utilized rented pickup trucks to smuggle the paper archives south to Rafah over three dangerous trips, eventually moving them into Egypt using international staff who hand-carried the records past border checkpoints.
Concurrently, as hostile protests and arson attacks targeted UNRWA’s East Jerusalem compound ahead of new Israeli legislation banning the agency, staff members secretly moved a parallel set of historic archives across the border into Jordan.
The entire collection has since been compiled in Amman, where an extensive digitization project funded by Luxembourg is currently underway in a secure facility. More than 50 personnel are working to scan roughly 30 million individual documents by hand, a meticulous process that experts estimate will take another two years to fully complete.
According to historians cited by The Guardian, the preservation of this national archive is critical for any future legal resolutions to the conflict, ensuring that Palestinians retain access to their verified family lineages and documented histories despite the total destruction of physical infrastructure inside the Palestinian territories.
This is actually incredible news. Given their effort to erase every aspect of Palestinian history, heritage, and culture, having these records slip through their fingers is a setback for ‘Israel’. Well done to the UNRWA staff involved, they pulled this off under genuine threat of violence and persecution by the zionist entity. This way, these documents remain a potential legal threat-in-being to the apartheid colony.
For every bit of fecklessness displayed by the UN as a whole, it’s important to recognize many of the workers with organizations like UNRWA are genuinely committed to their mission statement and willing to put their lives on the line for those ideals. Very noble people indeed, and they should be commended at every opportunity.
We need more UNRWA like people in the UN.
🥺 Incredible work on their part. Thank you for sharing about it.
The fascists will always try and fail to erase history.

❗️Israeli citizen caught smuggling embryos through Cyprus as possible trafficking network comes under scrutiny
Turkish Cypriot outlet Bugün Kıbrıs reported that four embryos seized at Ercan Airport while being prepared for transfer abroad were found inside a numbered transport tank bearing the name of Israeli courier company LifeParcel.
The first suspect arrested, identified as Y.M.G., was reportedly an Israeli citizen.
According to the report, the transport tank belonged to LifeParcel, an international IVF courier company founded by Israeli-linked embryologist Aharon Peretz.
The embryos were allegedly sourced from Vita Altera IVF, a fertility center in Lefkoşa described in police records as operating in egg, sperm, and embryo donation, embryo freezing, IVF, ICSI, and genetic screening services.
Bugün Kıbrıs noted that no clear information about Vita Altera IVF’s founders or ownership structure appears in open sources, raising further questions about the network behind the operation.
Ynet reported that the Israeli suspect was arrested on 19 May at Ercan Airport while allegedly attempting to fly to Mexico via Istanbul carrying the embryos in four separate test tubes inside a specialized “LifeParcel” transport container.
Israeli media said authorities suspect violations related to the illegal transfer and trafficking of embryos and genetic material across borders, while police in Northern Cyprus also arrested the director of the clinic and a local doctor as part of the ongoing investigation.

Such a strange and disturbed soceity.
Most deranged Hollywood crime film plot.
🇺🇸🇨🇳US senators admit US wars on Venezuela and Iran are proxy wars on China itself.
Senator Tim Sheehy repeats all the verified lies used to justify these wars while also admitting the real reason was to “take them off the table” as China’s “most vital jugular veins” ahead of targeting China itself.
Senator Elissa “Chinese Cars Are Coming to Get Us” Slotkin applauds US willingness to use military aggression to threaten the world (even at the cost of having lied to voters saying they wouldn’t) but complains none of this is still enough regarding China.
She claims the US “gave on Taiwan,” but this is simply the same false agreements the US has made for decades regarding its “one China” policy while in practice undermining it.
Of course the ongoing US proxy war on Russia is also part of this.

🇮🇷| Iran’s UN ambassador says Iran has formally told the UN that Persian Gulf states + Jordan must fully compensate Iran for war damages.
Iran says these countries helped or enabled aggression against Iran.
Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Jordan
He says they are responsible for both material and moral damages under international law.
Across the country, iranian women are being taught how to use weapons. US invasion seems Inevitable.

Brief Story
My mother grew up during the revolution and Iran-Iraq war, and has told me it was very common to learn how to assemble AKs. According to her, when she was a kid they’d take her to the Masjid along with other children and adults, and have them practice assembling the Klashnikovs.
She says she was very bad at it because she was too slow.
Basically, I’m saying that this seems pretty standard considering Iran’s history with imperialist invasions.
You know I thought to myself, “There’s no way that Donald just delays the invasion that Iran and probably the rest of the world (mostly the Global South) knows is inevitable and is doomed to fail once again”, but somehow he has managed to do it.
Great to see Iran is fully preparing for this invasion. Donald really does seem to think that repeatedly delaying the invasion, which again Iran knows is coming, will let Iran’s guard down.
Their aim is pretty good though.

💠 IRGC Navy: Passage through the Strait of Hormuz is being conducted with permission and coordination with the IRGC Navy
🔹 According to the IRGC Navy Public Relations, in the past 24 hours, 26 vessels including oil tankers, container ships, and other commercial ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz with coordination and security provided by the IRGC Navy.
🔹 The IRGC Navy announced: Passage through the Strait of Hormuz is being conducted with permission and coordination with the IRGC Navy.
I’m following the news myself, it’s not like I’m inactive to the news. I’m just tired with the back and forth.
If something definitively happens, I’ll let you know.

This feeling is understandable from Fotros.
I don’t blame Fotros. At a certain point it becomes so repetitive that a lot of people are just waiting for something to actually happen.
Edit: unsurprisingly, the empire is claiming that Iran is giving up enriched uranium despite Iran saying they will never surrender anything. just shows the psychological manipulation of reality from the empire. When the war restarts, the empire will be forced to admit it completely lost. They can’t keep up the facade forever.
It really is just “back and forth” at this point. We all know usa will attack again because they are psychologically incapable of backing down. But this time between is really dragging. Its got to be crazy stressful for the people in Iran.
Iran, 1960s, Pahlavi Era:
‘No entry for dogs or Iranians’Iran, 2026, Islamic Republic:
‘Strait of Hormuz; no entry for dogs or Americans’💠 Execution of an enemy spy
🔹 Mojtaba Kian, one of the enemy collaborators who during the Ramadan war sent information related to the country’s defense industry units to the enemy, was hanged after the legal process.
🔹 During the Ramadan war, he sent multiple messages to hostile networks affiliated with the Zionist-American enemy, including coordinates and information about the locations of units producing parts related to the country’s defense industries.
🔹 In messages to the enemy-affiliated network, he sent information about the location of a company related to the defense industry and emphasized to the agents of this network, mentioning the name of the Prime Minister of the Zionist regime, to “report this to Bibi.”
🔹 In his confessions, Mojtaba Kian said: After sending a message to the satellite network, they gave me a number to send information to, and I sent the information through that channel.
🔹 Technical examination of the exchanged messages between the convicted and enemy elements shows that 3 days after sending the information, the mentioned location was targeted by the enemy and completely destroyed.
🔹 After Mojtaba Kian’s contact with the hostile media network, he was identified and arrested.
