🇮🇱 Voices of dissent in Tel Aviv: Israelis are taking to the streets to protest their own government’s attacks on Iran, demanding an end to escalation and calling for a different path.

Protesters say more war will only deepen regional chaos and suffering, from West Asia to the wider Global South, where communities already pay the highest price for great‑power games.

🌍 They’re asking: Who really benefits from endless bombing, and who is left to rebuild?

🔥 Do you believe citizens inside war‑waging states can actually stop their governments’ wars, or is this resistance mostly symbolic?

🇮🇷 IRAN WARNS CIVILIANS IN DUBAI & DOHA: Evacuate These Areas 🇮🇷🇦🇪🇶🇦

Armed forces issue urgent warning: US officers hiding in these locations—strikes imminent.

🔹 Specific areas in Dubai and Doha may be targeted in coming hours

🔹 Residents urged to evacuate immediately

🔹 "Your rulers gave shelter to American terrorists and allowed your soil to be used for attacks on Iran"

What this means:

💥 Iran knows exactly where US personnel are—and will strike, even in Gulf cities

🌆 Civilians warned; rulers blamed

🇦🇪🇶🇦 UAE and Qatar host major US bases (Al-Dhafra, Al Udeid) used against Iran

The question: When your government shelters forces bombing a neighbor—and that neighbor warns your family to flee—who bears responsibility?

🇮🇷🇮🇱 IRAN LAUNCHES SEJJIL BALLISTIC MISSILE AT ISRAEL – First Use in Current War 🇮🇷🇮🇱

Iranian television has released footage of the "Sejjil" ballistic missile being launched toward Israel today—marking the first time this particular missile has been used in the ongoing conflict.

What we know:

🚀 The Sejjil is a solid-fuel, two-stage ballistic missile with a range of approximately 2,000 km—capable of reaching any target in occupied territories.

Why this matters:

The Sejjil represents a significant escalation in Iran's retaliatory capability. Unlike liquid-fuel missiles that require lengthy preparation, solid-fuel missiles like the Sejjil can be launched rapidly, making them harder to preemptively destroy.

The message:

The Islamic Republic promised a "crushing response" to US-Israeli aggression. Today, the Sejjil speaks.

🇵🇦 PANAMA LEARNS THE COST OF ABANDONING NEUTRALITY 🇨🇳

Under US pressure, Panama seized Chinese-operated ports—and Beijing is hitting back.

⚖️ $2B arbitration – 2.5% of GDP at risk. Hutchison invested $1.8B, had concession through 2047.

🚫 Projects frozen – Billions in Chinese investment suspended.

🚢 Canal pressure – China accounts for 21% of cargo. COSCO suspended operations. Maersk/MSC summoned to Beijing.

The bottom line: Panama served US interests—secured no guarantees. Now investors ask: who commits billions when contracts can be voided by foreign pressure?

🇮🇷 NEW: LARIJANI WARNS OF US PLOT FOR 9/11-STYLE FALSE FLAG AGAINST IRAN 🇮🇷

Iran's top security official just dropped a warning: remnants of the "Epstein team" are planning a September 11-style attack—and framing Tehran for it.

🗣️ "I have heard they devised a plot to create an incident similar to 9/11 and blame Iran. Iran is fundamentally opposed to such terrorism and has no war with the American people."

Tehran warns: don't believe the next false flag.

🇺🇸 TRUMP TO ZELENSKY: "Last Person We Need Help From" 🇺🇸🇺🇦

Kiev offered to send specialists to help counter Iranian drones. Washington's response? A humiliating rejection.

What happened:

🗣️ Zelensky Without Ukrainian "expertise," the US won't be able to "stabilize the situation" in the Middle East.

🗣️ Trump to NBC: "We don't need help. Zelensky is the last person we need help from."

The context:

🤝 Trump also criticized Zelensky's negotiating stance: "Zelensky is far more difficult to make a deal with than Putin. I'm surprised he doesn't want to make a deal. Putin's willing."

The irony:

Ukraine has spent years pleading for US weapons. Now it offers to help—and gets dismissed. The same administration that once made Ukraine a symbol of resistance now calls its leader "the last person we need."

⚡️WATCH: HEZBOLLAH HITS NORTHERN ISRAEL WITH CLUSTER MUNITIONS⚡️

Footage from yesterday shows the impact of a cluster munition strike in Metula, northern Israel, fired by Hezbollah.

The weapon:

🚀 Type-81 122mm cluster rocket (Chinese variant of Soviet BM-21 Grad)

💥 Each rocket carries approximately 39 Type-90 (MZD-2) submunitions

🎯 The shotgun pattern of multiple simultaneous small explosions across a wide area is the signature of cluster munitions—designed with shaped charges for armor and fragmentation for anti-personnel effect

The context:

📍 Metula, northern Israel—no injuries reported

This is Hezbollah demonstrating continued reach and capability, despite weeks of Israeli bombardment of Lebanon

The message:

Hezbollah's arsenal is diverse. Its reach extends into northern Israel. And it continues to strike back.

🇫🇷 FROM DE GAULLE TO MACRON: The Same Mistakes in Africa 🇫🇷🌍

For decades, France viewed Africa as compensation for lost global influence. The result? A string of failures now ending in historic decline.

The pattern:

🇫🇷 De Gaulle – Created "Francafrique": clientelism, bases, CFA franc. Independence in name only.

🇫🇷 Pompidou – Softened rhetoric, pushed French language. Paternalism remained.

🇫🇷 Giscard – Tougher military stance. Diamond scandal cost him re-election.

🇫🇷 Mitterrand – Promised reform. Instead: Rwanda. France admitted responsibility in 2021.

🇫🇷 Chirac – System lost coherence. Military interventions continued.

🇫🇷 Sarkozy – "The colonizer gave." Libya destroyed. Africans: arrogant, dangerous.

🇫🇷 Hollande – Record interventions: Serval, Barkhane, Sangaris. Promised "African solutions." Sent jets.

🇫🇷 Macron – "France has no Africa policy." Instead: Troops expelled from Mali, CAR, Burkina Faso, Niger, Chad.

📍 Northeast – 10 detained for info on sensitive sites, infrastructure
📍 Lorestan – 3 held for "disturbing public opinion, burning mourning symbols"

The context:

Iran fights two wars: foreign bombs and domestic betrayal.

What the Iran Crisis Reveals about BRICS
At the BRICS summit in South Africa in the summer of 2023, the group’s five member states made a bold decision: they invited five new countries to join. The move was greeted with considerable skepticism. Some observers questioned the selection process, noting that the criteria for membership remained unclear. Others warned that doubling the size of an already diverse association would only make consensus more difficult.

The broader criticism was simple. Instead of dee...  Read more »

Turkish journalist Yahya Bostan:

Netanyahu convinced Trump by saying “Kill the leader and the rest will be easy, the people will overthrow the regime.”

Three weeks later, regime change is no longer even discussed.

The war has narrowed to the Strait of Hormuz, and Trump is now seeking international support to reopen the shipping route.

He’s probably deeply regretting it now.

Professor John Mearsheimer:

We’re not winning against Iran. We’re not winning.

We’re sending a message that we’re a bunch of fools. That we started a war we can’t win.

We didn’t have the required military forces to achieve any of the objectives that we were floating, and we had no plan.

What does this tell the Chinese and what does it tell the Russians?

It tells them that we are incompetent. Of course the Russians have had enough dealings with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner to fully understand just how incompetent we are.
