The hospital in Andimeshk, a city of 176,000, has been hit & forced to shut down. How come this isn’t on top of every news headline? newsroom.ap.org/editorial-ph...

Some pictures of recent bombing of Isfahan sent by a friend showing damages to the Isfahan provincial government’s main administrative building.

Among the miscalculations of USraelis about IRI regime has been a casting of its system as purely dictatorial & dependent on one person (Khamenei) whose death would throw the system into a spin & eventual collapse. They imagined a thin “ruling” class, based on a few IRGC commanders & a “supreme

Damages to several palaces of the Sa’ad Abad palace complex, the most significant Pahlavi royal buildings, in northern Tehran/Shemiran.

Israel banned Palestinian Muslims from praying at Al-Aqsa for the first time since 1967. They fired stun grenades and teargas at worshippers trying to get to their mosque. Congrats to Jordan and to all Muslim-majority states that continue to be Israel’s allies. www.instagram.com/reel/DWGYoTv...

Tehran unbowed, on the eve of Nowruz 🪻 ایران، ملتی شکست ناپذیر

Fantástico

The USraeli terrorists (I am increasingly convinced this is what they are) have started bombing the beautiful Caspian province of Gilan, both Rasht & Anzali, one of the prettiest cities in the country and its only large port on the Caspian coast. This is criminal & has no purpose but destruction.

We come as liberators

Qué dice ahora el periodista aquel que se reía tanto en el programa de buenafuente ?

What this shows is that Raffael Grossi is a US stooge. Also that Iran had agreed to a 3-5 year pause to enrichment & never enriching to weapons grade. No imminent threat! But “we regarded Witkoff & Kushner to be Israel assets who dragged the President to a war.” www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

Americans might want to consider that it’s bad faith all the way down, that maybe, just maybe, this “special” relationship isn’t worth it

Iranians liken any terrible invasion of Iran (like the current attempt) to either Arab or Mongol conquests. The irony is that my Arab and Mongol friends (I have too many Mongol friends!) are absolutely sympathetic and have been more supportive than my European or American friends!

Since Hormuz is briefly on your radars now; this by a friend, Nooshin Samimi, from the hellsite: “Daughter of a geologist here: the spectacular colors of the Hormuz Formation (seen in Hormuz, Qeshm, and Hengam islands) are a unique sequence of evaporites, exposed as active salt glaciers.”

I had the distinct honor of sitting down with my friend and former @swarthmorecollege.bsky.social student, Timmy Hirschel-Burns, to talk about the unprovoked war against Iran by Israel and the United States. timhirschelburns.substack.com/p/what-does-...

La hostia se ha oído en Andrómeda

Todo el mundo asumía que si Irán cerraba Ormuz sería un todo o nada. Un portazo. Suicidio económico incluido porque su propio crudo sale por ahí. Por eso los analistas decían "no lo hará." Yo mismo lo enseñé aquí 👇🏼 en noviembre. Pues me equivoqué. Lo ha hecho. Pero no como esperábamos. 🧵

Now Iranians have different genetics! Preparation for genocide?

امروز بعد از یک هفته با این مرد حرف زدم. گفت مشکل دسترسی به حساب بانکیش داره و نمی‌تونه راحت بسته تلفنی بخره، اینترنت هم که نداره. هول شده بودم تو وقت کم از چی حرف بزنیم؟ صحنه آب‌تنی این پرنده رو براش توصیف کردم، بعد هم جوک آیت‌الله شرودینگر رو تعریف کردم که بخندیم. بختم که دیگه حداقل‌ها رو هم نداریم...

Thanks to NYT. At least they are saying something about this travesty. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/11/w...

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

This is a far bigger fuel, fertilizer, food crisis for Asia and Europe than it is for the US. US dependence on Persian Gulf oil has almost never been lower A thread by @sstapczynski.bsky.social on how Asia is alreaddy within days facing a destabilizing. x.com/SStapczynski...

Brilliant from @qjurecic.bsky.social

Trump acaba de soltar que está “pensando en tomar” el Estrecho de Ormuz. Brent ha tocado $119 hoy. El G7 convocando reunión de emergencia. Y el Secretario de Energía tan tranquilo: “semanas, no meses.” A ver, vamos a explicar por qué eso no es tan fácil. 🧵

Se veía venir

I was in Tehran this time last year. I want you to see how beautiful my city is. I want you to see the city the US/Israel is trying to wipe off the face of the earth

On this #InternationalWomensDay what is easily the most inspiring photo to come out of Iran in decades. Not even close. Donya Rad & her friend having breakfast in a "sonnati" restaurant without their hijab on, taken in '22 during the height of the #WomanLifeFreedom protests. Note the unbothered men

Change comes from below not from war. 👑👑

From my fieldwork, a thread 🧵on the joys of the first day of school at Faith Elementary School in Central Tehran (just above Palestine Square), Fall 2008. Descriptions listed alongside each picture.

Now T-rump is repeating hasbara myths about October 7th to justify hitting desalination plants & endangering the lives of tens of thousands. Iranians chop babies heads off and cut women in half? Is this reflective violence porn from your E*ste*n orgies, you mass murderer?
