aya is Lebanese and also someone I've known for a long time.

Interesting how it is the non-Lebanese westerners who think they know better than Iran, or than Lebanese.

In the several hours it took Iran to respond to being bombed last year, social media erupted in panic with claims that Iran already lost or was about to surrender. The speed with which some people embrace despair and defeatism while contributing nothing themselves is striking.

"These moments sharply and unmistakably reveal who is worth following and amplifying, and whose voices we should simply let fade into the void as they broadcast their insecurities and defeatism."

Very true. A lot of people dictating to Iran what actions it should take.

Some "experts" could not even wait half a day during the 12-Day Imposed War.

HALF A DAY

That was all it took for Iran's response to the Zionist regime, which ended less than two weeks later with their defeat and creating a fake ceasefire that Trump made up on the spot.

Yet that didn't stop some people from spreading doom and blackpills that Iran was finished.

Some claim to care about Lebanon or show solidarity with Hezbollah now, but many of these same voices were also saying "where is Hezbollah" or "Naim Qassem is weak." Now they just swap out one word and say "where is Iran?"

Criticism of reformists should never descend into despair, defeatism, and slander. Some people online live in a fantasy world where they imagine themselves as Stalin overseeing bloody purges (jailing, exile, and killing) and think that should be replicated in Iran in 2026. How did it work out for Stalin in the 1950s? The next Soviet leader denounced Stalin and declared an end to cults of personality. Organic change is more effective than impulsive bloody purges.

If Iran truly wanted to betray Lebanon, they would have not included Lebanon in the original agreement.

Why is it that people prefer a "betrayal" narrative instead of blaming the actual Zionist and American criminals themselves?

Be suspicious of those who spread abject pessimism about Iran. Many of them are not our friend.

Every two months Scott Ritter orders Iran to surrender, before turning around and applauding Iran and going back to pretending to be our friend. He still gets royal treatment on some media outlets.

Follow authentic voices instead of unknown, anonymous voices whom issue suspiciously timed blackpills. If we take our analysis from a Squirrel (zei_squirrel on Twitter, who not once but twice spread defeatism about Iran), we aught to ask ourselves if we are serious or not.

Case in point:

This "expert" named William is using literal Mossad/MI6 divide and conquer tactics by making a crude racist claim that the "conniving" Persians were just "using" Lebanese and Palestinians.

Wahabbi/Madkhali preachers say the same thing. "The majoos Persians are only using Palestine for its own Shia Rafida agenda!"

For the record, William is a white guy living in Lebanon. Now, not every foreigner who lives in Lebanon is suspicious, a spy, or some arrogant person who sees themselves above the people, as there are many decent foreigners who serve as journalists (or who support the resistance, such as the Japanese who fought against the Zionist occupation decades ago), but when a foreigner behaves in such a suspicious manner and the actual concrete evidence of bad behavior or sketchy backgrounds is there (like the case of Jalyssa Dugrot the "former" defense contractor employee), such as by spreading ethnic divisions between resistance factions, we have to scratch our heads and wonder why they are in Lebanon in the first place.

William can keep his racist comments to himself. He can sacrifice 10% of what Iran has for Palestine - done with utmost sincerity - and then he can talk.

PS On his page, he associates with an irrelevant analyst named Andrew Korybko, who mocked Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah following his martyrdom, obnoxiously jesting that the resistance axis is "weaker than a spider's web." Go search his tweets. Only a Jew (if he's not an ethnic one, then he's a spiritual one), would make such an obnoxious joke about the honorable Sayyed Hassan and people who have actually sacrificed blood and treasure on this path.

The track record of the doomers is not good, frankly speaking, and we should question ourselves if we are in the same bunker as them.

🇮🇷🇵🇰🇺🇸🇱🇧| Iran was on the verge of responding to the ceasefire violation last night, but Pakistan intervened — Iran’s DepFM

Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister:

The Iranian delegation will head to Islamabad but the US must stop Israel’s attacks on Lebanon based on its commitment.

Any peace in the region must include Lebanon, and the coming hours are very critical.

Iran was on the verge of responding to the ceasefire violation last night. Pakistan intervened and conveyed messages regarding US control over Israel.

Arya’s personal opinion: Very unfortunate political decision.

Diplomatic deception: how the US and Zionists use false understandings of the US-Zionist power relationship to fool people

Tucker Carlson, who in all fairness has some good work but at the end of the day comes from a CIA background, has once again claimed that Netanyahu has gone rogue and is sabotaging Trump's wonderful ceasefire, painting Trump as a pure, helpless victim being dragged along by an uncontrollable Zionist prime minister.

This narrative falls in line with the Zionist think tank Brookings Institute's strategy of using political theater to allow the Zionist regime to carry out certain actions by itself, so that the US can claim plausible deniability and innocence in the matter, even throwing the Zionists under the bus with empty rhetoric and painting them as a "rogue" actor.

This is the problem with following both left-wing and right-wing interpretations of the US-Zionist relationship. The left will say the US controls "Israel," but ignore that Jewish supremacists have disproportionate control within American centers of power. The right will say "Israel" controls America, and that the US is a pure, helpless victim and that the US' hands are washed clean of the blood from its historical crimes. Both are partially true and partially false.

In reality, the US is "the agent of global Zionism," as Martyr Ayatollah Khamenei said. Yet, at the same time, America controls "Israel," as Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah said. Zionism is bigger (and older) than the tiny occupation entity known "Israel."

Jewish elites have had great influence over the American system since the days of the British colonies, as the main slave trading companies who set up cash crop operations in the first colony of Virginia were owned mostly by wealthy Jewish merchants.

George Washington promised the Jewish community in Rhode Island that the US would oppose religious intolerance (a prelude to hate speech laws against "antisemitism") and spread liberalism around the world.

The entry of the US into World War 1 was due to a secret deal between American Jewish elites and British Jewish elites, guaranteeing President Wilson's entry into the war in exchange for the Balfour Declaration. Again, all before "israel" ever existed.

This is why our understanding of the US-Zionist power sharing relationship should be based on the Islamic resistance leadership, not the partially correct/partially flawed view of materialists, both left and right.

Otherwise, the global Zionists who control the US, which in turn controls "Israel," will claim the Zionist regime is a rogue entity, absolve the US of its guilt in various crimes, and worst of all, allow the US to accuse Iran of violating any ceasefire which involves both the US and "Israel."

Reformists love the "Israel lobby" narrative, because they have this love affair with the US due to their mental colonialism. They want to see the US as a professional, rational actor in the world, and that it is just the "israelis" who constantly mess up the eventual Iran-US romance. The Jewish-Zionist lobby is a much different, bigger, and older thing than the "israel" lobby.

Nawaf Shalom, Joseph Aoun, and other Gulf Arab leaders love the same narrative because they fool themselves into thinking the US is an impartial guarantor who can be persuaded, because the US loyalty to "Israel" is only due to money and lobbying, not due to a literal pact with the devil. They foolishly think an Arab lobby outspending the "Israel" lobby will sway the US. The Qataris gave Trump a luxury plane and large investments, which equal or exceed what AIPAC spent on the elections, but that resulted in zero favors for Qatar.

The US is the headquarters of international Zionism. A global conspiracy cannot be placed in occupied Palestine - it is too dangerous, see how it crumbles under a few weeks of Iranian missiles. It is safer to place it in D.C. and London, where missiles cannot land.

Let's not get fooled by the brainchild strategy of the Zionist Brookings Institute! The US system and Zionism are one.

🕊 A Leader for the Free People of the World — 40 Days of Martyrdom of Imam Khamenei

This loss would be unbearable if it wasn't for the fact that the power of his martyred blood led to the crumbling of the Epstein empire globally.

— US bases in the region destroyed

— Global economy, in which some nations live in comfort on top of the blood of innocents around the world, took a major hit due to Iran defending itself against aggression, declaring that either our sovereignty is respected or the rest of the world suffers along with us.

— Exposed the fallacy of the Dubai model as a house-of-cards/bubble economy. Dubai airport alone lost $1 million per minute. Real estate futures became gloomy. Wealthy people paid tens of thousands of dollars for limited flights out of the country. Food crisis due to import-dependency, while Iran had no crisis due to self-sufficiency.

— Iran exerted its natural rights over the Strait of Hormuz and established a toll fee, something other countries do over waterways with similar geography.

— Zionist entity got a taste of what Gaza feels like. Critical energy infrastructure hit. Interceptor missiles exhausted to near zero supply

— Global opinion in favor of Iran, even among western countries where many people are rooting for Iran to win.

— Increasing interest in Islam and Shiism

— Increased national unity among Iranian people. Girls without hijabs could be seen wrapped in Hezbollah flags. People woke up. Even in the very few heavily liberal areas of Tehran which used to be centers for violent riots and chants of "death to the 'dictator,'" are now filled with "Allahu Akbar" and people holding up pictures of the Martyr Leader without fear that some extremist liberal nihilist will stab them to death.

— Zarif exposed as a traitor. Even those who may have been part of the reformist voting bloc now understand and perhaps would choose differently if the election were to be held today. The illusion that kissing America's feet will lead to any benefit for Iran has been shattered. People see his essay in the Zionist media as an act of treason and surrender.

— US dollar will not have the same power as before, as now Iran can sanction the world rather than the world sanctioning Iran. To pass through the Strait of Hormuz, a toll in Chinese Yuan is required to be paid.

— Islamic Iran now positioned as the future leader of the world. The massive amount of respect gained will cause people to look to Iran as a model for public policy, culture, lifestyle, role models, and philosophy, rather than living under the shadow of US soft power and its model of McDonald's, usury, Big Pharma, Rockefeller education, selfishness, hedonism, and other so-called "values" forced on the world via bloodshed and corruption. Naturally, this requires Iran to be a pioneer in public policy, something that the pro-west liberal technocrats in the Iranian government have neglected for years, having chosen to live under the shadow of the west. But now that the west's prestige has been shattered, the time is now for the Martyr Leader's vision for a New Islamic Civilization, which leads the world in many areas: science/technology (coupled with moral constraints), culture/values/lifestyle, public policy, and more.

Iran went from a potential superpower to cementing its position as a superpower. If it wasn't a superpower, why would so much of global policy be hyperfocused on Iran? If they weren't, how could they hold the entire global economy in their hands? If they weren't, why are they capturing the hearts and minds of free people around the world?

All this paid for with the blood of the Martyr Leader. His blood broke the Epstein empire. Maybe we would have been selfish to keep him around with us for longer, because 40 days ago, the world was stagnant. The hegemony of Satanic pedophiles seemed like it would stay stuck forever. But with one stance, with bending the knee to no one but God, our Leader broke this stagnation and liberated us from tyranny and oppression. He truly lived like Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad (pbut).
