I started a substack! My first piece is about how the illegal US/Israel war against Iran continues the long-standing effort by foreign actors to dominate the country, as well as Iran's relentless refusal to be dominated open.substack.com/pub/msjamshi...

When Iran nationalized its oil in the early 1950s, the UK responded by imposing sanctions on the country. All to maintain its control & defeat Iran’s sovereignty. This is the same thing 👇🏽. What’s different this time is Iran now knows it can use the Strait to sanction them back x.com/thecradlemed...

Slovenia and Spain have been exceptional EU states that have refused to go along with Israeli criminality since Oct 7. But France’s decision to support suspending the EU Association Agreement with Israel…I think that’s new…the tide on Israel may FINALLY be shifting at the Western govt level

On Iran’s insistence that Lebanon be included in any ceasefire: “This logic explains Tehran’s insistence on including Lebanon in the ceasefire. For Iran, this is not a secondary issue, but central to preserving its regional architecture.”

Obviously not all Lebanese share this sentiment - either its implicit hostility to Iran et al or its desperation for Iranian help- but it’s still a sentiment that makes a lot of sense since Lebanon’s own govt is unwilling to do anything to defend the country from Israeli attacks

Last year the EU Commission recommended suspending the core trade related aspects of the EU Association Agreement with Israel for its crimes in Palestine. Nothing happened. Spanish PM - perhaps the only principled leader of a major European country - is trying to revive those efforts

Hard to say if this is meant to be face saving, but Trump admin vociferously arguing the 10 pt Iranian plan that is supposed to serve as the basis for negotiations isn’t the actual plan Iran presented. Seems unlikely the Iranians would dilute the proposal floating Iran -those are its redlines

This is how Israel keeps this war going. By having their attack dog in the Gulf hit Iran after a ceasefire goes into effect. The UAE is not a sovereign state. It is a holding company and its biggest shareholder is Israel x.com/babaktaghvae...

“In revealing that the US is fundamentally unprepared for.. warfare, Iran has reminded us of the old adage that "imperialism is a paper tiger". If the genocide in Gaza aimed to warn humanity of the consequences of resistance, Iran's victory reminds us that resistance is both necessary and possible”

“While the current ceasefire is temporary, the costs of the war…may soften the U.S. negotiating position. Unlike previous rounds (e.g., Geneva), the administration’s ability to credibly threaten war has diminished. From Tehran’s perspective, they have already endured the worst” x.com/citrinowicz/...

Before the ceasefire can the veto of this awful resolution, for which Bahrain held the pen. It would have greenlit a global war against Iran. If China and Russia had not vetoed it, we’d probably be in Armageddon now

With Omani buy in, the new Hormuz toll booth is likely here to stay. This is not just huge for Iran’s economy and the deterioration of unlawful US unilateral sanctions. It is potentially consequential for third-world intl law making )for the nerds in the room).

Iran statement on ceasefire listing its victories quite accurately: destroying the regional U.S. mil machine, dealing decisive “blows 2 the infrastructure & capabilities” of the U.S. mil, inflicted significant losses on U.S. regional forces, & carried out major strikes on

We have a 2 week ceasefire between Iran and the US that Israel has joined. Iran’s 10-pt peace plan, not the U.S. 15-pt plan, will be the basis for talks. U.S. Genocide is postponed for another day.

I am tired of saying this because it is so obvious, but this did not start with Iran, it will not end with Iran. This is an existential war for the region & the world. Everyone around me keeps acting like this doesn’t affect them. It does. It will continue to. Politically, economically, legally.

There is widespread bombardment of civilians and civilian structures across Iran over the last 2 days, a continuation of the entire US/Israel approach to war-making that has intensified. I’m posting screenshots of some reports in the hopes of capturing the scale of these attacks

US/Israel hit the largest steel factory in the Middle East, which is in Iran, so the Iranians responded by attacking one of the largest aluminum hubs in the world. This is not supposed to be tit for tat. But the US and Israel opened this Pandora’s box of “dual use” objects. Blame them for this.

Israel/US are trying to deindustrialize Iran. It has nothing to do with the nuclear program. Or this government. It is rooted in Western treatment of Iran going back 200 years. It is about making Iran weak and dependent on the West 👇🏽 x.com/malikadivar/...

As we sit here waiting to see whether the US will invade and seize Iranian islands and then had them over to another state in a business deal, your reminder that the law matters because if it didn’t exist this would be totally ok. But it’s not. It is one of the most unlawful things states do.

Iran managed to create domestic industry to survive US unilateral sanctions. As Iran is achieving wins on oil sanctions and exerting its own economic pressure thru Hormuz, US/Israel r trying to ensure it remains vulnerable to other sanctions by hitting its civilian industrial base.

More on Iran’s massive tactical wins in this war. Based on an off the cuff speech Trump gave yesterday, many are concluding that the reason the USS Gerald Ford - the largest US air craft carrier - left the region was because it had been hit by Iran. Which is wild.

Israel is bragging about assassinating these journalists, calling one of them a “terrorist” because he was, you know, doing journalism Israel didn’t like. Same playbook as Gaza. Brand them terrorists, assassinate them at will, hope that other journalists will fall into line bsky.app/profile/msja...

Israel conducted a targeted strike on Lebanese journalists, after already killing the family of one of those journalists a month ago. What a coup for Israel. Wiping out a family and killing journalists are 2 of its favorite things….next to shooting children in the head
