Some background on this footage. I think police swept in because they were desperate to get an arrest on camera. By this stage, several hours in, they’d arrested maybe 50 people. Unfortunately, they tackled her just as she’d finished telling me about her grandparents’ and

Hardly breaking news though, is it?
Breaking News: The U.S. was responsible for a missile strike on an Iranian school, an ongoing military investigation found. The inquiry said the strike — which Iranian officials said killed at least 175 people — was the result of a targeting mistake.

On Israeli twitter, there’s a lot of anger. People talking of running to shelters several times a day, short-notice warnings, and many homes destroyed. We know that Israel is censoring media reporting, but Israelis are speaking out. https://t.co/XDDShmlXNs

I will never understand what has happened since late February. It’s so stupid it’s impossible to comprehend. Israel had continuously degraded Iranian proxies since late 2023. Very successfully. US sanctions were killing the economy. We were in extra time. Then Washington

Last time the west so flagrantly set a middle-eastern state on fire, few recorded the war crimes. Time to start counting them now
Scenes from Tehran look apocalyptic. This is a city of 10 million people.

Iranians dancing in London, LA & Vancouver say this is a price worth paying - so the government can change in a country they won’t actually permanently go back to anyway. This brings it home. Sickening. I wonder what this poor boy would make of them.

✅ Hits himself repeatedly when he gets angry ✅ Insists he isn’t worried about martyrdom ✅ Cauliflower ears from Greco-Roman wrestling ✅ Uses ‘gambler’ as most degrading insult imaginable This guy is a lot more Iranian than activists I see on TV. https://t.co/YyVYbSuzYd

Over the last 75 years, the Kurds have been armed — then sold out — by the US on 𝙚𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙤𝙘𝙘𝙖𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨. But hey, maybe the 9th time’s the charm.
NEW: The CIA has been working to arm Kurdish forces with the aim of fomenting a popular uprising in Iran, multiple people familiar with the plan told CNN. Iranian Kurdish opposition forces are expected to take part in a ground operation in Western Iran in the coming days and

Am I losing my mind, or did Rubio say the US knew Israel was about to attack Iran, and that an Iranian retaliation would target US assets. To prevent that, the US picked the WW3 route rather than constraining Israel, the potential attacker? Makes sense👌

The British media is chock full of the goldfish-brained. ‘A stunning success’. Anyone who knows the history of western intervention in the Middle East doesn’t need to ask whether it’ll succeed. International law? Who cares! We got fireworks
Anyone who knows the history of western intervention/the Middle East will rightly ask whether this can succeed - but I do find it weird that people respond to a stunning intell/military success against a terrorist state by hoping it fails. A lot of useful idiots outing themselves

What’s so interesting about this is that some in the left of Lab, so invigorated by Corbyn, seems to have found a new home in the Greens

Hannah Spencer is the Green party’s fifth MP, & their first in northern England. We have just seen the most extraordinary by-election result of my lifetime. If you’re Farage or Polanski you want Starmer to stay. He’s KILLING Labour.
