Clearly, the younger Khamenei is not as unwaveringly committed to forswearing nukes as the older one was, but Iran would still prefer a deal rather than condemn itself to international isolation for the foreseeable future. This is why the current US policy is so stupid. 1/

Trump fundamentally thinks like a used car salesman, who is guided by the imperative to exploit others if he can get away wit it. So since he won't be around get blamed when the shit hits the climate fan, there's no reason to hedge his anti-climate policies just in case he's wrong about the climate.

Except Iran is NOT a problem country. Is it fully democratic? No. But all it has done beyond its borders is criticize the rogue Israeli regime and provide aid to its victims, who suffer from occupation and dispossession. That is the main reason why Iran is demonized.

It's now absolutely clear that Israel is determined to ethnically cleanse Palestinians, and that it won't let law or morality get in the way. BDS is therefore the only hope, short of war. In light of this, this bill is an abomination, and every single Democrat who voted for it should be primaried.

Israeli Defense Minister Katz more or less admits what has been obvious for some time now: Israel is making life miserable for Gazans with a view to eventually expelling them, when that becomes possible. Trump could immediately change life in Gaza if he would declare his opposition.

These college students are still in denial. When Israeli politicians repeatedly brag about genocide and past war crimes as a way of getting votes, or order brand new war crimes just to improve their electoral prospects, the Israeli people themselves are a big part of the problem.

This is how extreme Israel is: it has used children's kites - which even the IDF admits are harmless - flying over the Gazan-Israeli border as a pretext for airstrikes, which have already killed three. The evil here is shocking, but not surprising for anyone who has been paying attention.

This might be the 1st step to building nukes. Which was entirely predictable. After the attacks of the past year, Iran has every incentive to go nuclear. This is why sanctions relief/release of frozen assets cannot seem to be foreclosed. But that is exactly what Israel/its agents have ruled out. 1/

Besset admits what was always clear: the US is still pursuing the Israeli policy of regime change. It is why it refused to release Iran's frozen assets under the MoU, and why the 300b reconstruction fund was never going to happen, which is in turn why Iran is determined to control Hormuz. 1/2

If someone absolutely hates blacks/Asians/etc. because of their race, that's racism, whether or not that person has any power to do anything about it. Attitudes themselves are a problem, even if acting on them is a further problem.

The process used to come to this outcome was troublingly unusual, but the most important matter is whether the case against the charged Israeli officials is allowed to proceed. If it isn't, it should be the final nail in the coffin of this biased institution.
