'Iran media says at least 128 people killed in Friday-Saturday Israel attacks [...] "[...] and around 900 injured individuals were admitted to" hospitals, said Etemad daily, citing the health ministry. [...] adding that the "number of martyred children is significant."'

Since this morning I have seen videos like this from Tehran. People leaving, hoping for safety elsewhere.
Israel bombs indiscriminately everywhere internally so safety would only be had if leaving, but Turkey previously blocked the border previously to please Fascists in EU, strengthening the Iran-regime's grip on power, while fleeing to Russia likely means fleeing to conscription because EU closed its borders to people fleeing war, genocide, persecution, strengthening the grip on power by the culprits. So where to go? Not everyone can go to the mountains, join the freedom guerrilla and become labeled "terrorist" by USA for opposing the Iran-regime which USA wants to keep as a perpetual external threat for the purpose of domestic subjugation.
Military and militias now shooting at Israel's aircraft passing through in Iraq without permission. De jure such "passing through" without permission does mean that a state of war exists unless resolved diplomatically, but Israel's planes do this whenever they feel like because Iraq's forces can't fight back because that was USA's obligation and USA is the world's worst, least trustworthy ally ever.

"In wars between nation-states, it is societies, and particularly women and children, that pay the heaviest price. The conflict between Israel and Iran is no exception. [...]
It must be emphasised that this war is not a war for the liberation of societies, especially for women. The demands of the people, particularly women, are not part of Israel's or Iran's agendas. Representatives of nation-states chanting slogans such as 'Jin, Jiyan, Azadî' (Woman, Life, Freedom) cannot herald freedom or promise a beautiful future for society, especially when they lack a genuine understanding of the importance of women's struggles. [...] KJAR emphasises the importance of organising and building grassroots strength in pursuit of freedom for society, and especially for women. Amid a war of authoritarian powers and patriarchal systems, KJAR stresses that there is no glimmer of light, freedom, or equality." anfenglish.com/women/kjar-the-… KJAR is the "Free Women's Union of Rojhelat", where Rojhelat is the Eastern, Iran-held, part of Kurdistan. They are one of the three organizations that brought the "Women! Life! Freedom!"-slogan with its antiauthoritarianism and feminism there from whence it spread through all Iran and became the main slogan of the most recent antiauthoritarian uprisings against the theocracy.
In a statement regarding the ongoing war between Israel and Iran, the East Kurdistan Free Women’s Society (KJAR) emphasized that wars between nation-states are not a path to freedom for societies....
Bragging about keeping people trapped in war of aggression which has killed at least several hundred civilians so far, "Turkey has increased border security amid Iran-Israel conflict, sees no migrant flow" reuters.com/world/middle-east/… On the other side Pakistan closed their borders a few days ago.
"Iran Intensifies Repression Under Pretext of War; Widespread Arrests and Enforced Disappearance of Political Prisoners" iranhr.net/en/articles/7674/ The Netanyahu Gang has in several statements and videos falsely associated itself with primarily antiauthoritarian, feminist, antiracist opposition in Iran, which it must be aware of and therefore intended to cause that opposition to be targeted, just as it did during the widespread uprisings a few years ago whereby they directly contributed to getting people sentenced to be murdered by the Iran-theocracy's courts system, while in actual reality the Israel-regime is also authoritarian, sexist, racist, etc just like their counterpart in Iran.
Criminal president Trump of USA in violation of both international theguardian.com/world/live/202… and domestic (constitutional) law theguardian.com/world/live/202… directly bombed Iran at 02:30 using a dozen B-2 stealth bombers dropping GBU-57 bombs at Natanz, Isfahan and Fordow (where the video of the event reportedly is from). There was no congressional approval and no casus belli.
This further increases the risk of global hot war for everyone and the risk for every entity in some way associable with USA in particular, but since primarily USA's Republican party elite have been cheering and literally singing and for war with Iran for decades, they don't care about the constitution they so often claim to have read but instead just cheer theguardian.com/world/live/202… the now very plausible new "forever-war". At least Bush had fraudulent authorization, at least pretended.
Note, the Iran-theocracy is despicable, murderously oppressive, racist and sexist. This has absolutely nothing to do with that. State vs State war is never a good thing.
Through the governments of Israel+USA war attacking the government of Iran "A new order is being established in the Middle East under American hegemony." and "If the regime accepts American demands and surrenders, or if a different kind of agreement is made with the U.S. and Israel, you can be sure of this: the first thing this regime will do is turn on its own people and launch a massive wave of repression, executions, prison sentences, arrests, and similar measures in order to re-establish its sovereignty in Iran." explains anfenglish.com/features/prof-d… Professor Abbas Vali (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbas_Va…).
'Five more Kurds arrested in Iran [...] without a court order and no information has been obtained regarding the fate of those affected. [...] A wave of arrests has been taking place in Iran in recent days. According to the same sources, at least 151 people have been detained on “security” grounds in Eastern [Iran-held part of] Kurdistan and various cities across Iran in the last three days alone.' anfenglish.com/kurdistan/five-… This extremely probably is directly related to the governments of Israel and USA's war attacking the government of Iran, as Netanyahu and Gang have been once again striving to baselessly connect the antiauthoritarian feminist antiracist "Women! Life! Freedom!"-movement and related to their authoritarian sexist racist regime, which they must have known would only result in falsely legitimizing further persecution by the Iran-theocracy, as Netanyahu and fellow world "leaders" statements to same effect had that outcome previously too. It therefore seems probable that this is intentional and may be for the purpose of disabling the antiauthoritarian movements from resistance when Israel and USA intend to impose their replacement regime, which is likely the restoration of the Shah.

More on the prisoner State-murdered in apparent retaliation against Trump's joining USA to Netanyahu's war of aggression in Iran iranhr.net/en/articles/7679/
The incompetence of the US VP JD keeps baffling. Now claims the State USA is "not at war with Iran – we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear programme" theguardian.com/world/live/202… which is not a thing that is possible. The definition of when a war between States starts is when the first bullet, other missile (what to do in the case of hostile Internet-packets is still being debated by scholars and other experts) or military force passes the border without invitation from the de jure (or by modernized definitions also other de facto) territory holder. Unless USA had an invitation from the Iran-theocracy to come bomb, then USA is at war, committed an act of war of aggression, crime against peace, and is as a result at war until diplomatic resolution of one form or another is achieved.
A State can be at war against another State or against some domestic groups with Geneva Conventions compliant armed units. States can NOT be at war against abstract concepts like "terrorism", "cubism", a "nuclear programme" (doubly so as even its existence is disputed), "gravity" or "the color chartreuse". It is by the relevant definitions of the words not possible.
Israel's airstrike aggression attacks continue into the night in Yazd (video with no audio), as well as at least Alborz, Hamadan, Hashtgerd, Karaj, Kermanshah, Tabriz and Tehran. Probably more too, but those cities were recently mentioned as under attack.
Israel's military claims to be currently attacking "military infrastructure" in area of Kermanshah, W Iran. AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Of course what they define as "military" isn't always what anyone else would call military as you've seen, so who knows what they're bombing. Maybe another hospital.
Another prisoner State-murdered by Iran in apparent retaliation for Trump's attack bringing USA to war for Israel. This time Mohammad Amin Mahdavi Shayesteh, accused of Mossad-related online activities in the form of speech against Iran's military and anti-"Iran" (presumably meaning regime, not people) websites. Such "Mossad"-accusations usually have "confessions" extracted using torture. Was there a Mossad-link? We'll never know. We do know State-murder is the worst, most immoral and destructive, form of murder.

Freedom!" to Iran: ───── This afternoon, on [June 23, 2025], the administrative buildings, courthouse, visitation hall, Infirmary, entrance of Evin Prison, and particularly wards 8 [=political prisoners and prisoners of conscience] and the women's ward getting most damaged. According to the families present at these wards: "In the women's ward of Evin, the wall, part of the ceiling and windows of the ward have been destroyed. However, in the absence of medical care and failure to transfer the injured to the hospital, there is no complete information regarding the physical and mental health of these prisoners." Additionally, in ward 8, despite some prisoners being injured, the prison guards attacked the prisoners, preventing them from escaping the horrifying situation. Furthermore, according to some reports (which require confirmation from the families of these prisoners), detainees from the security ward 209 were transferred to a location outside the prison. ─────

"Yes! Yes! Pick me! Pick me! Make me King!", desperately screams the person who has almost no support at all domestically but almost exclusively by people who fled when the oppressive torturer elitist regime now up for potential "restoration" fled, now suddenly finding Netanyahu and Trump may restore the old oppressor because that oppressor also had oppression enforcement collaboration agreements with Israel, in spite of the people rejecting Israel's occupation of Palestine back then too, back when it was in power.

From the Coordinating Council of Iranian Teachers' Trade Associations (teachers' union), roughly translated: ───── Additional report on today's Israeli attacks on Evin Prison • A large number of conscript soldiers, prison staff, several inmates, and some non-military individuals who visited the Evin court have been killed. • The entrance to Ward 4 of Evin Prison, the clinic of Ward 4, the visitor's hall, and the security wards 209, 240, 241, and 2A as well as the Evin and Kachui security courts have been attacked and seriously damaged. The women's ward of Evin Prison has also been damaged. • Political and non-political prisoners of Evin are being transferred from Evin. So far all prisoners of Ward 4 of Evin have been completely transferred to Greater Tehran Central Penitentiary.

Collective statement from Evin Prison, Tehran, in rough translation, part 1 of 2: ───── Today, Monday, June 23, 2025, Evin Prison was targeted by an airstrike. As a result of the impact from fighter jets attributed to Israel, parts of the administrative buildings, medical facilities, and the judicial office of the prison were severely damaged and destroyed.
Following this attack, a section of Ward 4 collapsed, windows and glass were shattered, and the interior space of the prison was destabilized. Simultaneously, many prisoners, in fear and seeking to save their lives, took refuge on lower floors, which resulted in injuries to several of them.
The prison's medical facilities have been effectively destroyed, and there are no initial resources available to address the condition of the injured inmates. Despite the deteriorating condition of some of the wounded, prison authorities have refused to transfer them to medical centers outside the prison, effectively leaving them without any care.
Meanwhile, instead of providing aid, security forces and prison guards have heavily secured the prison by deploying extensively in the wards, creating a highly secure environment. Threats, intimidation, and pressure on prisoners have increased, and we are facing double repression. ─────
Part 2 of 2 of collective statement from Evin Prison, Tehran, in rough translation: ───── Outside the prison, all routes leading to Evin have been completely blocked, and families are prevented from entering. Nevertheless, some families, despite the danger, have gathered in front of Evin Prison to learn about the fate of their loved ones.
We, the defenseless prisoners under siege, declare: In the face of bombardment, we had neither shelter nor an escape route; and in the face of the organized crime that has cast a shadow over our bodies, lives, and dignity for years, there is no shield left.
We appeal to the people, families, activists, and awakened consciences: Do not remain silent. Gather immediately in front of Evin Prison to save our lives. We are injured, threatened, and may lose our lives at any moment. A group of prisoners from Evin Prison June 23, 2025 ─────

Update in Reuters article on the ceasefire now says "A senior Iranian official told Reuters that Tehran had agreed to the U.S.-proposed ceasefire". reuters.com/world/middle-east/…
───── Iran’s foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has responded to reports of a ceasefire with Israel, saying in a post on X.
'As Iran has repeatedly made clear: Israel launched war on Iran, not the other way around. As of now, there is NO “agreement” on any ceasefire or cessation of military operations. However, provided that the Israeli regime stops its illegal aggression against the Iranian people no later than 4 am Tehran time, we have no intention to continue our response afterwards. The final decision on the cessation of our military operations will be made later.' ───── theguardian.com/world/live/202…
If you're confused as to whether there is a ceasefire between Israel and Iran now as Trump claimed, then don't worry it seems everyone is confused. It seems to me there was no agreement, but Trump says there is one with unclear terms, so some regime officials on both sides of the war claim they're following those terms as of the would-be-deadline regardless of not having actually agreed, while others seem to be continuing as previously.
Now "Israel confirms agreement to ceasefire" theguardian.com/world/live/202… May have received pressure from USA to publicly accept the proposal that may have not existed.
Israel's Minister of War said "he has ordered the country's military to respond forcefully to what he said was Iran’s violation of a ceasefire with Israel" reuters.com/world/middle-east/…
In chronological order published: ───── U.S. President Donald Trump told Israel Tuesday, "Do not drop those bombs" on Iran, hours after he had said a ceasefire between the two arch-foes had taken effect.
"ISRAEL. DO NOT DROP THOSE BOMBS," Trump said on his Truth Social platform. "IF YOU DO IT IS A MAJOR VIOLATION. BRING YOUR PILOTS HOME, NOW!" ───── AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew…
Trump probably knew Israel would breach any declared ceasefire. This gives him cover to back out and wag a finger at Bibi the Butcher and placate his MTG/Proud Boys isolationist nazi wing. On the up side, it may also provide breathing room to fight the military and Magilla Kurilla's urge to murder for money.
@LightFIAR Hmm, I think Trump wanted to come out of this with a diplomatic achievement, to be able to make claims of having achieved peace through ordering USA to bomb Iran, to further the ridiculous claims that "I should have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize five times", as well as to get the anti-war GOPers you mention to get back under control. But who knows what that clown wants.

War-hawk NATO-chief Rutte congratulated Trump on "decisive action in Iran, that was truly extraordinary, and something no one else dared to do" theguardian.com/world/live/202… but the reason it is "extraordinary" and "no one else dared to do" it is because it was an act of war of aggression, crimes against peace, "the supreme international crime", but then NATO has committed huge acts of terrorism against its own member-States' populace, been involved in coups d'état against member-States' governments and Trump is indeed already a convicted felon.
During and because of Netanyahu's and Trump's war in Iran on pretext of unproven nukes-programme there was a bill proposed for Iran to suspend cooperation with the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) on the rationale that cooperation still resulted in war of aggression during diplomatic negotiations to restore the anti-nukes agreement which Trump broke at end of first term. The cooperation is according to the proposal to remain suspended and not allow continuing the previously ongoing inspections until there is sufficient security against another attack and peaceful nuclear activities guaranteed. That proposal has now passed the Consultative Assembly, according to the Free Trade Union of Iran.
Now also Reuters reports that "Iran enacts law to suspend cooperation with IAEA" lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… They added the clarification I should have included in my toot, that the proposal of course has to after this also pass the "Supreme National Security Council" which is like a governing working group of the theocracy, the decisions of which must also be approved by the "Supreme Leader" before taking effect, because theocracy.
Another excellent statement, "Political prisoners must be released urgently and unconditionally", was just published by the Free Trade Union of Iran. Here in a rough translation for you:
Trump compared own bombing of Iran to the nukings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki theguardian.com/world/live/202… which are the world's two individual worst wars ever, for no legit military purpose whatsoever against a Japan that had already lost and had been trying to have its offers of surrender accepted with the only condition that the emperor could not be ousted, but the allies refused and then after the crimes against humanity nukes and unconditional surrender didn't oust the emperor anyway so the refusal to accept the surrender offers was solely for the purpose of committing those atrocities. Are you sure you know that you're talking about, Trump? No, as usual.
Human rights organization 'Hengaw report No. 4 on the wave of arrests amid the Iran–Israel war: At least 734 detained, including 32 women, two Afghan nationals, and eight European citizens [...] The majority have been arrested by Iranian security and intelligence forces on charges such as “espionage for Israel,” “propaganda against the state,” and “disturbing public opinion.” [...] Iranian authorities have executed six prisoners who were convicted of espionage for Israel.' hengaw.net/en/reports-and-stat… anfenglish.com/news/at-least-7…
Note that cases like this will include torture for forced (invalid) "confessions", as with all uses of torture people will be forced to "confess" to things they have not done just to get the torture to stop, whereby the regime's forces can use this pretext to get rid of other opposition activists and entirely innocent people, especially since Israel's war has also resulted in changes for further harshening the "punishment" in cases like these alongside even further removal of safeguards against harming and even murdering the completely innocent.
Thus, Israel's attack and Netanyahu and Gang's statements during their war falsely legitimized the regime's repression; their actions aided the fellow authoritarian reactionary regime's longterm viability.

The war crime bombing by Israel during its war of aggression in Iran murdered 71 people just at the Evin Prison where people are imprisoned for opposing the regime or for having wrong religion according to the theocracy.
"During the attack, dissidents and prisoners with dual citizenship were also inside the prison. Among them were Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi and Kurdish women prisoners Pakhshan Azizi and Warisha Moradi. [...] Israel confirmed that the direct target of the attack was Evin Prison." anfenglish.com/human-rights/ac… reuters.com/world/middle-east/… AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew…
As a direct result of the Netanyahu Gang targeting the prison and devastating prison wards, infirmaries, etc the prisoners have been forcibly transferred to other prisons, with among other outcomes resulting in loss of their few remaining personal items, loss of communications, even worse conditions including resumed deprivation of basic medical care for prisoners in life threatening conditions.
Six days have passed since a ceasefire ended the 12-day war between Iran and Israel. In a statement, Iran’s Judiciary announced that 71 people lost their lives during the attack on Evin Prison.Du...

"Everyone is a suspect in Iran: A witch hunt is underway
Following Israel’s attack on Iran, the state has escalated its pressure on the public to a new level. The surviving regime has launched a systematic wave of arrests and detentions under accusations of espionage." anfenglish.com/human-rights/ev…
During Israel's war of aggression in Iran there were many statements issued by the aggressor for the apparent purpose of inciting and granting unjustified pretext for this assault by the Iran-theocracy against the people, by unilaterally falsely associating groups of peoples and movements with the Netanyahu Gang, which they must have understood and therefore intended to have this effect, causing the regime to further crush those striving for freedom, equality, etc. It is extremely likely that the authoritarian, reactionary, racist, sexist, etc Netanyahu Gang considers it a worst case scenario if the people currently under the Iran-theocracy, a regime with similar ideologies as their own, would through self-liberation achieve a society with equal rights, peaceful coexistence in diversity, secularism, etc as Iran's current regime is an "ideal opponent" so they would only want it replaced with a puppet-regime or someone eternally grateful for being handed power (i.e. e.g. Shah restoration).
After a 12-day war and the ceasefire declared on 24 June, a brutal crackdown has been underway under the pretext of collaboration with Israel or espionage.Similar situations occurred after the pr...
"In Iran, Israel’s attack has shattered any trust in the west – even for those with no love of the state" theguardian.com/commentisfree/… This is and was an obvious outcome. Whether it was within the intent or just culpable incompetence of the Netanyahu Gang and the Trumpists we can't know, but we do know that their actions definitely were crimes against peace, war of aggression and multiple explicitly stated intended war crimes and we do know that those actions drastically decreased the security of every person on earth likely for decades to come.

Terry Moran made a mistake. Not a career-killing one, but one that should be addressed. The outrage that followed?It has revealed a shocking double standard.
It is, in many ways asymmetric warfare: Traditional journalists are held to standards that online creators are not. And that often leads to a situation where, if I were to write something like Moran did, nobody would bat an eye. But because he wrote it, he’s a huge target for criticism.
Neutrality is, and always has been, a trap. Journalism is inherently biased: done right, it's a public service that is performed to tell people what they need (not want!) to know. That almost always puts journos at odds with power structures, business interests, and anyone trying to bilk the public.
Journalists do not owe "balance" or neutrality to those they report on, they only owe them truthful and fair reporting. They don't even owe them a right to comment.

Slightly off topic again (soz) but you should watch the Sky interview with Professor Morandi of Tehran University I just posted - real-time "shit he said the truth we can't broadcast that" western propaganda move.
@fkamiah17 Thanks for the link. Excellent interview. No wonder they pulled it. Can’t have people criticising the folks carrying out a proxy war on behalf on your country (in the proud words of the UK opposition leader).
Euch, yes. I can't quite belief anyone even asks her opinion about anything any more, they're so irrelevant. You're welcome. It felt like a very important interview to watch, because he was more excoriating than I think I've ever seen on a Western broadcast. It's been submitted to the genocide archive, of course, so it won't disappear entirely.
@fkamiah17 I wouldn’t be surprised if that news anchor is reprimanded for actually letting him talk without interrupting him or more forcefully toeing the party line.

"El cultivo de la esperanza —por pequeñas que sean las opciones de tener éxito— se ha convertido en una estrategia de negocio. La gente en prácticas y los becarios crean contenido y proporcionan mano de obra por un precio inferior al del empleado asalariado, pero son precisamente el ejemplo más evidente de los hope laborers. Los escritores por cuenta propia son hope laborers, así como los trabajadores temporales que esperan esa codiciada «conversión a jornada completa». Industrias enteras prosperan gracias a un exceso de trabajadores dispuestos a pedir menos por trabajar más, siempre y cuando puedan decirse a sí mismos y a los demás que tienen un trabajo que «aman»."

When you read about the slide from democracy to "competitive authoritarianism" in other countries, it's composed of things like this. No big, sudden breaches, the kind that might spark widespread resistance. Just crossing these little lines, one at a time, each one a seemingly small thing ... RE: bsky.app/profile/did:plc:jmte4…
Each little crossed line is another decision point for US elites in media, politics, business, & civil society: is this the one where we stand up, make a big deal, say "this far & no further"? Or do we just incorporate it, sanewash it, fold it into our sense of the "new normal" and move on?
The overwhelming lesson of history is that elites, thanks to their deep investment in & attachment to the status quo, *wait too long*. By the time something happens that's stark enough, bad enough, it's too late. You stand up at one of these early line crossings ... or you watch your country go.

🔴 ERIC #DENÉCÉ EST MORT. Éric Denécé (62 ans) a été retrouvé sans vie hier. Ancien officier du renseignement, il a ensuite fait carrière dans l’intelligence économique et était le fondateur et directeur du CF2R. La thèse du suicide ne semble pas convaincre ses proches pour le moment et nous nous renseignons dès à présent à ce sujet. Notons qu’il était l’un des premiers à avoir analysé et documenté la guerre économique que les États-Unis mènent à la France. En cette qualité, il était aussi l’un de nos contributeurs réguliers. La radio adresse ses plus sincères condoléances à la famille.
J'ai appris hier soir le décès soudain, inexpliqué et inquiétant d'Eric Denécé, 62 ans, ancien officier du renseignement de la Marine, Directeur du Centre français de recherche sur le Renseignement, que j'ai eu l'honneur de rencontrer dans ma vie professionnelle intense et diversifiée. "Soudain, inexpliqué et inquiétant" car sa famille, ses proches et ses collaborateurs ne croient absolument pas à l'hypothèse d'un suicide au moment ou il travaillait sur un dossier important au profit d'Histoire Magazine. Je sais qu'il attendait avec impatience la publication du deuxième volet de ce passionnant dossier, qui était le reflet des cinq volumes de son Histoire du Renseignement publié chez Ellipses. Eric était un analyste influent et reconnu dans les domaines de la défense, du renseignement, de l’intelligence économique et de la géopolitique. Docteur en science politique (Université Panthéon‑Assas, 1988) et habilité à diriger des recherches depuis 2011, il fut officier-analyste de la Marine nationale puis du SGDN (Secrétariat général de la défense et de la sécurité nationale). Il a ensuite travaillé dans le secteur privé — Matra Défense, NAVFCO — avant de cofonder le cabinet d’intelligence économique Argos, puis de rejoindre le groupe GEOS. Fondateur et directeur du CF2R (Centre français de recherche sur le renseignement) en 2000, il en assurait la direction. Ce think tank, d’inspiration « réaliste », était indépendant des institutions et des pouvoirs publics. Il a évidemment critiqué la vente de la filiale énergie d’Alsthom à General Electric, qui a fortement impacté notre souveraineté nationale. Éric assumait en effet une position indépendante et non alignée à propos de la guerre en Ukraine, sujet sur lequel il divergeait des lignes officielles de l’Union européenne et du gouvernement français. Il n'affirmait jamais rien qui ne soit serieusement vérifié et solidement étayé. Avant comme après l’invasion de l’Ukraine par la Russie de Poutine, Éric soulignait les responsabilités croisées des néoconservateurs à Washington et des ultranationalistes à Kiev avec une logique qui ne pouvait que conduire à l’agression russe. Il était l'auteur prolifique ou l'éditeur d’une trentaine d'ouvrages, consacrés notamment à l’histoire du renseignement (Première et Seconde Guerres mondiales, Révolutions arabes, terrorisme…). Il enseignait également l’intelligence économique et stratégique dans de nombreuses institutions : universités, ENA, Collège interarmées de Défense. Eric était un vrai professionnel du renseignement et de l’analyse géopolitique. Il était brillant, intègre, sérieux, respectable, amoureux de la France et dévoué à la servir sans relâche avec son regard lucide, réaliste et détaché de tout biais idéologique. Il laisse un œuvre riche et une très grande contribution à l’intelligence des conflits et des crises de notre temps. Avec son décès, et d'autres, Il est devenu dangereux de démanteler la pensée unique européenne et surtout celle de la macronie sur les deux questions sensibles de la guerre en Ukraine, du Proche-Orient et de la reconnaissance d'un État palestinien. Tout semble en place pour briser l'élan de la vérité, pour empêcher de voir et de dire le réel, pour contrôler le narratif officiel et, surtout, pour ostraciser et éliminer les dissidents.

I'm still looking for alternatives to popular Google services, just to see if it would be feasible to not have all my data in one provider's hand. In this one, I'm going to take a look at map services.
Google Maps Google maps is widely known. It's probably the richest map data-wise, with the added benefit of street view, a well-stocked satellite view, data from points of interest and businesses, and a good interface. We're going to take a look at other services, with the requirements that they use something other than Google maps for data. I'm not expecting a Street view replacement in any of these alternatives.
Open Street Maps OSM is like the wikipedia of maps, with anyone being able to contribute to it, trace roads, buildings, and add points of interests, and more. OSM is accessible from their website, www.openstreetmap.org, and has the basics, such as directions, and search. It lacks a satellite view, street view, and doesn't have any informations about businesses. It also doesn't have the most elegant tile set there is.
MapQuest uses the OSM database to build their maps. It's been around for a while, but it seems more focused on the US market.
Qwant Maps use OSM as well, but it's still an alpha-level product. It doesn't have a mobile application, and doesn't have directions yet. It does look nice, and has basic informations when clicking on any POI, with favorites support.
On smartphones, the choice is a bit more varied, and that's what matters. OSMAnd seems to be the best choice out there on Android, with downloadable maps for offline access, and a ton of different options including which points of interest you want to display, the look of the map, a dark theme, a car GPS mode, and many more.
It's also interesting to note that there is a project called Open Street Cam which aims to provide an alternative to Street View.
Here Maps Here Maps was formerly a Nokia product. They provide a web interface, as well as a mobile app, called Here We Go. The web interface is pretty slow to load tiles, and returned a very limited set of Point of interests, in my tests. It does have a few informations on each of them, though, so that's a plus. It has directions, which are actually pretty well done, letting you choose between car, bike, on foot, as well as ride sharing or even a taxi. It also has a satellite view, and can even show some public transportation information. Here maps also have access to traffic information in certain cities.
The mobile app is alright, it is pretty clear right at startup about what kind of data it collects, and has most of what you'd expect, including directions, favorites, and traffic data. It also can change the view mode from normal to satellite, and even download offline maps, if you're preparing a trip abroad and want to make sure you'll get a functioning GPS service.
Here maps is a good proposition that could definitely replace Google Maps in my admitedly simple uses.
Bing Maps Bing Maps is Microsoft's map service. It's a smaller proposition, including only a web interface and no mobile application. Bing maps has points of interest with a lot of data supplied by TripAdvisor, and local data providers, such as Pages Jaunes in France. It has pretty complete directions, including the ability to avoid highways or ferries, and it has traffic data to help you navigate or use it as a GPS while driving.
Bing Maps also supports a satellite view, and what they call "streetside", which is a street view equivalent. It seems to work in major cities, for example, in France, Paris had a pretty good coverage, but this feature is not available as widely as Google's.
Bing Maps doesn't seem to have a mobile application though, which is a shame, since it's where most people will use it anyway.
All in all, Bing maps is probably the best proposition on the web, outside of Google Maps, but without a mobile application to use, I just could not see myself switching to it.
Other alternatives The first is Wikimapia, a collaborative effort to give free maps to anyone who might need them. It's distributed under the open source Creative Communs BY-SA license.
Yandex Maps is also a good proposition, but if you're trying to escape the internet giants, the Russian Google might not be the best choice.
Duck Duck Go uses Apple Maps, which looks good, but they don't provide a separate map service.
All in all, while Here Maps and Bing Maps are pretty good, I still feel they lack the polish and overall nice finish of Google Maps. Their tilesets look a bit dated and bland, and even though data-wise, they don't seem to lag behind Gmaps too much, presentation matters, and the user experience is not as polished. They both are perfectly usable though.
Qwant Maps might one day have a user experience closer to the one Google delivers, but as of now, it's just not ready. For now, I'll replace Google Maps with Here Maps, but I'm not 100% satisfied.
Google is pretty much embedded in all of our lives. I've grown more and more conscious about that over the last year, and I'd like to try something: de-googling most of my life.
As of now, I use a few Google services: Google Photos, Android on my Galaxy S8, Google Maps, Gmail, and obviously YouTube.
In this series, I'll try and find alternatives to these popular Google services, with a few conditions
Web browsers There are quite a few browsers available on Linux, but almost every one of themr runs on Blink, Google's engine. Contributing to the hegemony of a single engine is obviously a choice I want to avoid, so choices are much reduced. In the end, the only credible choice out there with a strong engine is Firefox. It's free, open source, it renders webpages fast and while it's not exactly lightweight, is a bit less RAM hungry than Chrome. It supports account sync, a ton of extensions, and while it collects some technical data by default, you can turn that off in the settings. Firefox is, in my opinion, the obvious choice for privacy-conscious Linux users. It has plenty of derivatives which add or remove features, any of these can also do the trick.
Web search Google search is huge, and efficient. Its results are often on point, and it offers cards and info to help you get what you're looking for without opening any webpage. Replacing Google search is tougher than it seems. I could find 2 alternatives that match my criteria, namely Duck Duck Go and Qwant.
Duck Duck go is the one I use right now. It's reliable, and search resultats are good. It also adds cards to display relevant information from wikipedia, as well as video miniatures, and mini-maps when you're looking for an adress. These maps are powered by Apple Maps, which is an odd choice, but since Apple is pretty much the only major hardware and services company that doesn't sell any user data to anyone, it's not that ridiculous. You can set another provider for itineraries, choosing from Apple Maps, OSM, Here, Google, or Bing Maps, if you find the default results are not to your linking.
It has powerful image search tools, though, with the ability to filter through type of image, including images which have a transparent background, as well as colors. It lacks the ability to specify an exact image size, and filters to look for images based on their license and rights, and I'd love for them to add these filters. They do allow to filter by region, which is a plus.
Duck Duck go also has "video" and "news" filters, and can display contextual filters as well. For example, looking up "Bitcoin" will add a currency converter to check out how much 1 bitcoin is worth.
Looks-wise, Duck Duck Go looks... bland. I know, its a search engine, and we d'ont really care how it looks, but I find the duck icon a bit cheesy, and the grey and orange colors are a bit dull. You can change the theme, though, with a few options in cluding a dark mode. If you really want to go further, you can change the font used, the colors of the various links, and even select to show or hide site icons in the results ! If you want to save these configurations, you can do so, by typing a passphrase that will allow you to download them on other devices, without using an account and giving away your email adress.
Qwant, on the other hand, is less well known. It's basically trying to give services to match Google's, but in keeping with the EU regulations, and with a privacy focused mind.
Qwant agregates date classified as news, social feeds, and regular old links on the same results page, and they obviously allow you to filter through News, Social, Images, Videos, and Shopping. Their image search tools are great, combining the best filters from Google and Duck Duck go.
Qwant looks very colorful, and bright, which I like, even though it can get distracting sometimes. Qwant also has a dark mode.
In the end, getting away from Google search can be done pretty easily. Whether you're more into Duck Duck Go or Qwant, it's mainly a matter of aesthetics, features are similar across the board, and even though results aren't exactly similar to Google search, I never felt like I was getting incoherent webpages, or useless results. It's still important to know that Qwant has its own indexation engine, and only uses some of Bing's results to complete searches where it doesn'ty have anything relevant to show. Duck Duck Go, on the other hand, is a meta-engine, and as such, uses results from its own engine and some reference websites, but also from Bing, Yandex, Yelp, and Yahoo. Qwant is not globally available yet, though, so you might not be able to access it, depending on where you live.
Switching away from Google Maps : Here Maps, Bing Maps, OpenStreetMap...

We're going to take a look at other services, with the requirements that they use something other than Google maps for data. I'm not expecting a Street view replacement in any of these alternatives.
Open Street Maps OSM is like the wikipedia of maps, with anyone being able to contribute to it, trace roads, buildings, and add points of interests, and more. OSM is accessible from their website, www.openstreetmap.org, and has the basics, such as directions, and search. It lacks a satellite view, street view, and doesn't have any informations about businesses. It also doesn't have the most elegant tile set there is.
MapQuest uses the OSM database to build their maps. It's been around for a while, but it seems more focused on the US market.
Qwant Maps use OSM as well, but it's still an alpha-level product. It doesn't have a mobile application, and doesn't have directions yet. It does look nice, and has basic informations when clicking on any POI, with favorites support.
On smartphones, the choice is a bit more varied, and that's what matters. OSMAnd seems to be the best choice out there on Android, with downloadable maps for offline access, and a ton of different options including which points of interest you want to display, the look of the map, a dark theme, a car GPS mode, and many more.
It's also interesting to note that there is a project called Open Street Cam which aims to provide an alternative to Street View.
Here Maps Here Maps was formerly a Nokia product. They provide a web interface, as well as a mobile app, called Here We Go. The web interface is pretty slow to load tiles, and returned a very limited set of Point of interests, in my tests. It does have a few informations on each of them, though, so that's a plus. It has directions, which are actually pretty well done, letting you choose between car, bike, on foot, as well as ride sharing or even a taxi. It also has a satellite view, and can even show some public transportation information. Here maps also have access to traffic information in certain cities.
The mobile app is alright, it is pretty clear right at startup about what kind of data it collects, and has most of what you'd expect, including directions, favorites, and traffic data. It also can change the view mode from normal to satellite, and even download offline maps, if you're preparing a trip abroad and want to make sure you'll get a functioning GPS service.
Here maps is a good proposition that could definitely replace Google Maps in my admitedly simple uses.
Bing Maps Bing Maps is Microsoft's map service. It's a smaller proposition, including only a web interface and no mobile application. Bing maps has points of interest with a lot of data supplied by TripAdvisor, and local data providers, such as Pages Jaunes in France. It has pretty complete directions, including the ability to avoid highways or ferries, and it has traffic data to help you navigate or use it as a GPS while driving.
Bing Maps also supports a satellite view, and what they call "streetside", which is a street view equivalent. It seems to work in major cities, for example, in France, Paris had a pretty good coverage, but this feature is not available as widely as Google's.
Bing Maps doesn't seem to have a mobile application though, which is a shame, since it's where most people will use it anyway.
All in all, Bing maps is probably the best proposition on the web, outside of Google Maps, but without a mobile application to use, I just could not see myself switching to it.
Other alternatives The first is Wikimapia, a collaborative effort to give free maps to anyone who might need them. It's distributed under the open source Creative Communs BY-SA license.
Yandex Maps is also a good proposition, but if you're trying to escape the internet giants, the Russian Google might not be the best choice.
Duck Duck Go uses Apple Maps, which looks good, but they don't provide a separate map service.
All in all, while Here Maps and Bing Maps are pretty good, I still feel they lack the polish and overall nice finish of Google Maps. Their tilesets look a bit dated and bland, and even though data-wise, they don't seem to lag behind Gmaps too much, presentation matters, and the user experience is not as polished. They both are perfectly usable though.
Qwant Maps might one day have a user experience closer to the one Google delivers, but as of now, it's just not ready. For now, I'll replace Google Maps with Here Maps, but I'm not 100% satisfied.
In addition to the previous report of explosions also in Rojhelat (Iran held part of Kurdistan) while Israel bombs Tehran, there are also reports of explosions in the Provinces Kermanshah, Luristan, Isfahan and Hamadan.
I have seen what appears to be people crushed to death, on the sidewalks and streets, by the debris from the residential houses destroyed by Israel bombing Tehran. I'm not going to be sharing those.
You DO NOT attack densely populated areas with high-explosives! It is by its nature an indiscriminate attack and therefore a war crime.
Apparently the Netanyahu Gang calls its new war of aggression in Iran "Rising Lion", apparently a reference to the Book of Numbers 23:24, "Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain." (KJV).
"Israel military says 'completed first stage' of strikes against Iranian military, nuclear targets" lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… "First stage", indicating as previously stated that they intend to keep going with this war of aggression for a long time. Some Israeli media indicate a matter of weeks being planned at least.
'New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said that the Israeli air strikes on Iran was a “really unwelcome development” and that the conflict raised serious concerns for the Middle East' theguardian.com/world/live/202… Thanks, Minister of Obvious Affairs.
Netanyahu says Iran’s main enrichment facility targeted; Iran state media says five dead in Tehran; IDF reports 100 drones launched toward Israel from Iran
Iran's fighter jets are reportedly now flying over Tehran, presumably with the intent of attempting to shoot down drones or long-range missiles from Israel attacking the city, since Iran doesn't have an Iran Dome like Israel has. Here's one:
There are many reports of various specific high military and academic leaders supposedly having been killed by Israel's war of aggression in Iran tonight, but frankly those are not important in my opinion so that can wait until it's confirmed. I care about the people, not the oppressors.
"Iran state TV says children are among those killed in the Israeli attack on residential areas in Tehran" theguardian.com/world/live/202… It would be a miracle if that was NOT the case after bombing the... well, you've seen what they bombed.
Netanyahu says Iran’s main enrichment facility targeted; Iran state media says five dead in Tehran; IDF reports 100 drones launched toward Israel from Iran
Second wave of Israel's war of aggression bombardments in Iran has begun according to Israel's Channel 12, reports Aryen TV (Rojhelat/Iran-opposition TV).
"Iranian state media confirms killing of Revolutionary Guards chief in Israeli strike" reuters.com/world/middle-east/… If there is anything like a hell, that's a new resident. Still does of course NOT justify bombing densely populated areas.
'Jack Reed, the most senior Democrat on the Senate armed services committee, has condemned Israel’s strikes on Iran, describing them as “alarming” and “reckless”' theguardian.com/world/live/202…
Netanyahu says Iran’s main enrichment facility targeted; Iran state media says five dead in Tehran; IDF reports 100 drones launched toward Israel from Iran
Reportedly at the counter-revolutionary and imperialist expeditionary military force IRGC's base in Kermanshah, Rojhelat/W Iran, on fire after the bombing by Israel. I'd guess that's what you can see burning for a brief moment.
"Iran vowed a "strong response" to deadly Israeli air strikes that hit multiple areas across the country on Friday, including nuclear facilities" AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Of course. Remember that when the rulers war for dominance, it's the regular people who get crushed to death in between them, always and everywhere.
Attacks so far by Israel on various locations in Iran, a summary from the counter-revolutionary and imperialist expeditionary military force IRGC's website, via the Free Trade Union of Iran, in a rough translation: • Central Tehran • Qitariyeh, Tehran • Niavaran, Tehran • West Tehran and Chitgar • East Tehran • Mehrabad, Tehran • Multiple attacks on Mahallati residential area, Tehran • Shahid Chamran residential area, Nobeinyad, Tehran • A building in Kamrani'eh, Tehran • Narmek, Tehran • Saadat Abad, Tehran • Andarzgu, Tehran • Erkeideh complex at Star Khan, Tehran • Shahid Daghaghi residential area (extensive attacks), Tehran • Farahzadi, Tehran • Headquarters of the General Staff of the Armed Forces • Azghal, Tehran • Residence of Ali Shamkhani • Shahrara, Tehran • Esatid complex in Saadat Abad Book Market • Garmdareh • Marzdaran, Tehran
Other cities and sensitive locations: • Multiple attacks on Natanz nuclear site • Parchin facilities • Several military bases in Tehran • Natanz nuclear reactor • Structures near the Natanz nuclear facility • Khondab • Arak heavy water reactor • Borujerd • Khorramabad • Hamadan • Parchin • Qasr-e Shirin • Tabriz • Piranshahr, West Azerbaijan • Kermanshah • Ilam • Araak
Probably the actual target of the Netanyahu Gang bombing in Iran now is to drag the people in Israel into another and more intense war, for the purpose of eliminating both domestic dissent and even more so the growing demands now also from various major States that Israel must stop its atrocities against the Palestinian People, also seeking to pull those into by extension supporting their aggressions in Syria and Lebanon, while using as pretext the alleged ambition of Iran to acquire nukes just as Israel already has nukes. None of that will make any of the peoples anymore safe, but very many people dead, to keep Netanyahu in power instead of at The Hague.
'Iran warned it has a "legal and legitimate right" to respond to Israel's deadly attacks Friday [...]' AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Actually, no, that is factually incorrect. A State has the right to defend against an attack from another State's territory until that particular instance of attack has ended. There does not exist any right to "retaliate", nor any right to "preemptive attack". Both of those are simply acts of war of aggression.
If a State has been attacked from another's territory and they don't resolve it diplomatically, the attacked's right is to bring the matter to the UN Security Council, which then is to consider potential sanctions which may be of many types including economic and even deciding that the attacked State is given the right to go to war against the attacker, for example if the attacks keep reoccurring. In the latter case the attacked State does then have a legal right to go to war without it being a war of aggression, crime against peace. Both Israel and Iran keep claiming fictional rights to "retaliate" or "preempt" as justifications for war, but those do not exist, for any State equally.
Not my opinion or wish. It's the States' system as they have designed it and all States agree to by declaring themselves States, is a part of the UN Charter and similar.
One of Iran's hundreds of kamikaze-drones sent to bomb Israel because Israel bombed Iran because Iran allegedly is creating nukes which Israel already has because... and so on and so on.
One of the several times Israel bombed the Natanz nuclear facility in central Iran night to today and this morning. It's some special kind of crazy to bombard a nuclear reactor. Some Putin kind of crazy.
Iran official announced on domestic TV that the talks negotiating a new agreement to keep Iran from developing nukes, which were being held between USA and Iran after Trump broke the previous agreement at the end of Trump's previous term, now has been canceled due to recent developments: Iran being bombed by Israel for allegedly getting nukes, so that bombing against acquisition of nukes thereby prevented the diplomatic agreement which would have kept Iran from getting nukes. Good job, Bibi, you... *gaah*
Israel: We must attack them to stop them from getting nukes. Iran: We must get nukes now because they attacked us.
Or, actually literally: ───── “One should not speak to such a predatory regime except in the language of power,” the Iranian government said in a statement.
“The world now better understands Iran’s insistence on the right to enrichment, nuclear technology, and missile power.” ───── theguardian.com/world/live/202… Anyone could and should have predicted that result of the attacks.
Now Iran's kamikaze-drones are flying over Syria, on the way to hit Israel for having hit Iran, etc, etc, so should start impacts in Iran within a matter of minutes.
Iran reportedly called for a meeting of the UN Security Council now. OK, fine. Good even, but you know what you should have done? You should have done that INSTEAD of sending the kamikaze-drones in "retaliation". Then you would have had a much stronger case AT THAT UNSC MEETING. Sigh.
"Iran says Israel attack 'declaration of war'" lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Almost true. Israel's bombings were acts of war of aggression, initiating a war without right to war (jus ad bellum), which is not just a violation of international law but also as often quoted from the precedents setting Nuremberg Tribunal "the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole", but it was not a "declaration" of war, it was launching a war without a declaration, which technically is also a separate (and lesser) violation.
What they may have meant was to say that due to Israel's bombings there is now a de facto and de jure state of war, an international armed conflict, which is true, as technically the moment one bullet (or equivalent or more) crosses from one State's territory into another's those States are in a state of war until they resolve it diplomatically (or remain unaware of it/ignore it away).
Trumps on Israel's war of aggression attacks bombing Iran: "I think it's been excellent." reuters.com/world/uk/trump-isr… Well, I think you're a jingoistic moron, a danger to everyone on earth and actually the underlying root cause for these attacks since it was YOU personally who broke the previous agreement with Iran which was effectively keeping Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. So there's that.
Oh, whoops. I now noticed that I accidentally broke my toots-thread dedicated to Israel's war of aggression bombings of Iran (and related) during the night to today.
My first thread accidentally ended here todon.eu/@b9AcE/11467328558662… while it should have continued with everything in this thread.
Unofficial numbers for only the war of aggression attacks on Tehran by Israel so far since during the night to today is 78 dead and 329 injured, in addition to whatever the numbers may be outside Tehran too.
'Iran imposes internet restrictions after Israel attack [...] "will be lifted once normalcy returns."' AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… So that explains the decrease in reports. Also, what do you mean by "normalcy"? Will the Mullahs regime resign and let the people have a normal political life? (─←sarcasm)
Erdoğan commented Israel's war of aggression attacks in Iran during night to today and onwards. ───── Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday warned Israel was seeking to drag the world into "disaster" after strikes on Iran, urging the international community to stop what he called Israel's "banditry."
"The international community must put an end to Israeli banditry that targets global and regional stability," said Erdogan. ───── AFP: lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew…
I mean... everyone should protest Israel's war of aggression bombings, anyone's war of aggression anything, but... maybe not Erdoğan, specifically. At one point I counted that douche being in a total of FIVE wars of aggression on two continents, on the aggressor side, at least, and is currently in two wars of aggression launched by Erdoğan. You are exactly the same as Netanyahu. In genocidalism, expansionist aggression, oppressive rule and in being a threat to everyone on earth.
"Iraq accuses Israel of using its airspace to attack Iran" lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew… Technically, according to the rules for States agreed to by every State by declaring itself a State, that does mean there is or was a state of war between Israel and Iraq too, although it seems probable Iraq won't push the matter very hard more than demanding the UNSC act and then probably letting it go, is my guess. Iraq is kinda busy at the moment, e.g. by being occupied by Turkey.
Now the mature people made a statement too on Israel's war of aggression bombings in Iran. @KCK_Kurdistan_ Executive Council Co-Chairpersons in a rough translation: ──── Following midnight last night, Israel conducted extensive airstrikes against Iran. This attack has further deepened the war that escalated on Oct 7, 2023, causing significant harm to peoples in all respects and leading to destruction and great suffering. Wars developed by States for the sake of power, authority, and hegemony have not only failed to resolve problems but also caused immense harm to peoples. […] The history of the Middle East, adorned with continuous warfare for a century, has sufficiently shown that no problem can be solved through war; it leads to pain, loss, and destruction, further complicating issues and making them insurmountable. We condemn and criticize this war that brings losses to peoples, leads to destruction, and causes harm. […] We reiterate once again that problems in the Middle East can only be solved through democratic modernity and a democratic understanding of nations. The capitalist modernist understanding of a single Nation-State, with its lust for power, authority, and hegemony, has sufficiently proven that through it, it is impossible to establish peaceful life in the Middle East […] ────

NEW KCK STATEMENT!
‘Through War no Solution Can be Achieved!’- Statement by the Co-Presidency of the KCK Executive Council, regarding Israel’s attacks on the Iran as the latest escalation of the raging war.
AFP now describing what you saw in the video I uploaded earlioer: "Iran media says air defenses intercept 'projectiles' over Tehran", with a bit more in the article lbcgroup.tv/news/middleeastnew…
Initially the Trump-regime claimed it had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Israel's war of aggression bombings in Iran night to today, then Trump started shifting stance, started claiming maaaaybe they knew something and now "Trump scrambles to claim credit for Israel’s Iran attack he publicly opposed". theguardian.com/us-news/2025/j… Don't trust a word that person says, ever. Never trust an authoritarian.
"Israel’s military has identified missiles being launched from Iran and towards the territory of Israel, Reuters reports" theguardian.com/world/live/202… Reuters' website is a mess, so that'll do.
If that was in any way unclear to anyone: Ballistic missiles are like, pain... owie! If they head towards you, it's time to play the hiding game until the owies go away. Don't do this.
Three different reactions by Israeli to Tel Aviv being bombarded and hit with ballistic missiles from Iran earlier, three different perspectives, I suppose.
Israel's Minister of War, Israel Katz reported to declare that Iran "crossed a red line" by attacking civilian areas in Israel (after Israel bombed civilian areas in Iran for... many hours) and declared that the Iran-regime will pay for its criminal actions... ...which must mean that Katz did criminal actions in Katz's own opinion, because they both committed the same war crime of using high-explosives to attack densely populated areas, weapons which by their nature are indiscriminate in that context.
"Iran’s envoy to the UN security council, Amir Saeid Iravani, said 78 people including senior officials had been killed in the Israeli attacks on Friday, and that more than 320 were injured, most of them civilians. theguardian.com/world/live/202…
"In total, three people have been killed since missile strikes against Israel began on Friday." theguardian.com/world/live/202…

Tehran late during the night to today, as a result of Israel's bombardments. Three videos chosen as representing what was seen in the other videos at the time too.
"A missile fired from Yemen by the Iran-backed Houthi militia, killed five Palestinians including three children in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent.
[...] The Israel Defence Force said no interceptors were launched to prevent the missile strike." theguardian.com/world/live/202…
The "Free Life Party of [Iran-held part of] Kurdistan" (PJAK) on the Israel/Iran war: ───── […] This is a war of power and conflicting interests, not a war of liberation for peoples and nations. It erupted as a result of the Islamic Republic’s expansionist and warmongering policies, showing no regard for the suffering of the Iranian people. The rulers initiated this war, and the costs are being borne by a population already struggling with social and economic crises. The high number of civilian casualties, especially women and children, in Iran and Israel during these attacks highlights the grim reality that states hold little value for people's lives.
The people of Iran should not be forced to choose between war and accepting a dictatorial regime. The Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK), which opposes the imposition of war on the people of Iran, emphasizes the principle of democratic struggle. It is the people’s democratic struggle and the unique "Jin, Jiyan, Azadi" (Woman, Life, Freedom) revolution that will bring freedom to Iran. Achieving the goals of our democratic revolution undoubtedly requires unity and collaboration among freedom-seekers, democratic forces, national fighters, women, and identity movements. ───── Continue reading here: anfenglish.com/kurdistan/pjak-… hawarnews.com/en/pjak-vows-to-…
The Council of the Free Life Party of Kurdistan (PJAK) released a statement regarding the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran. The PJAK statement on Saturday includes the following:“Since Ju...
The Netanyahu Gang now also targets the industry and in particular petroleum industry in Iran. Here for example a facility of the South Pars Field (very major, central south coast/offshore) is on fire now after being bombed:
Schimon, 63, in Tel Aviv on why Israel's war of aggression in Iran is worth it. Snippet from a piece from Public Service radio of Sweden.
Counterpoint for balance: The Iran-theocracy declared after the attacks began that they hadn't been building nuclear bombs only civilian nuclear power, but that now because Israel attacked they must build nukes, they claimed.
Counterpoint for reality: Nukes do not deter unless it is proven that one would actually really use them and that can only be proved if one really actually would. Look at the number of wars involving nukes States. They do not deter. Nukes are preparation to commit the worst atrocity ever seen by humankind, can not be accepted for ANYone to have.
"UK moves jets to Middle East as Starmer refuses to rule out defending Israel" Starmer current PM of UK and right-wing leader of centrist Labour party says as justification for contributing to the escalation that "we do recognise Israel’s right to self-defence". theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j… Uhuuuh. But... Israel is the aggressor. A "preemptive attack" as the Netanyahu Gang themselves called it can not possibly be considered "defence", not morally nor linguistically (and absolutely not legally).
Israel's attacks in Iran continue to include civilian fuels industry, other industry and civilian infrastructure. Here's at the vital Rajaee port at Bandar Abbas (yes, the huge explosion place) at the southern coast.
Air attacks by Israel currently/within latest hour being defended against in Iran at least at (alphabetically): Ahvaz Bandar Abbas Bukan Chaldran Hamadan Isfahan Kermanshah Khoramabad Mahabad Naqdeh Piranshahr Tabriz Tehran Urmia
@bifouba Well, yes, but... "responding to" was the phrase they used, not "defending against". The article 51 of the UN Chartera that they invoked is about "individual or collective self-defence". I'm pretty sure that if John Doe punches someone and at court says "I did it to respond to being hit" then Doe would get convicted for that, whilst if John doe instead says "I did it do defend myself from the previous attack reasonably being believed to continuing" and proves it to be reasonable then Doe would be acquitted (unless it was excessive). If they would not have said that it was "responding to" before launching, but instead "defending against" openly announced continuing waves of attack or even just kept quiet, then I would have considered them to probably fulfill the criteria at that point for being able to claim it being self-defense, depending on what they target, etc.
@bifouba Again though, that's arguing entirely within their (States') rules system, because that was the context used.
That should not be taken as an endorsement from me of that rules system or of the States-based system underlying that. I am still actually an anarchist even though I happen to have read their rules for themselves. Like a medical doctor knowing about diseases isn't an endorsement of everyone getting every disease. ;-D I just wanted to say that, even though you in no way indicated believing so.
Nouvelle-Calédonie: le leader indépendantiste Christian Tein et ses camarades sont remis en liberté

Israel bombs indiscriminately everywhere internally so safety would only be had if leaving,

while fleeing to Russia likely means fleeing to conscription because EU closed its borders to people fleeing war, genocide, persecution, strengthening the grip on power by the culprits.

There was no congressional approval and no casus belli.
This further increases the risk of global hot war for everyone and the risk for every entity in some way associable with USA in particular,
but since primarily USA's Republican party elite have been cheering and literally singing and for war with Iran for decades, they don't care about the constitution they so often claim to have read but instead just cheer theguardian.com/world/live/202… the now very plausible new "forever-war".

This extremely probably is directly related to the governments of Israel and USA's war attacking the government of Iran, as Netanyahu and Gang have been once again striving to baselessly connect the antiauthoritarian feminist antiracist "Women! Life! Freedom!"-movement and related to their authoritarian sexist racist regime, which they must have known would only result in falsely legitimizing further persecution by the Iran-theocracy, as Netanyahu and fellow world "leaders" statements to same effect had that outcome previously too. It therefore seems probable that this is intentional and may be for the purpose of disabling the antiauthoritarian movements from resistance when Israel and USA intend to impose their replacement regime, which is likely the restoration of the Shah.

The world cannot absorb limitless war. Upholding international humanitarian law is not a choice—it is an obligation.

Now claims the State USA is "not at war with Iran – we’re at war with Iran’s nuclear programme" theguardian.com/world/live/202… which is not a thing that is possible.
The definition of when a war between States starts is when the first bullet, other missile (what to do in the case of hostile Internet-packets is still being debated by scholars and other experts) or military force passes the border without invitation from the de jure (or by modernized definitions also other de facto) territory holder.
Unless USA had an invitation from the Iran-theocracy to come bomb, then USA is at war, committed an act of war of aggression, crime against peace, and is as a result at war until diplomatic resolution of one form or another is achieved.
A State can be at war against another State or against some domestic groups with Geneva Conventions compliant armed units.
States can NOT be at war against abstract concepts like "terrorism", "cubism", a "nuclear programme" (doubly so as even its existence is disputed), "gravity" or "the color chartreuse".
It is by the relevant definitions of the words not possible.

Iran made the announcement on Monday night in a statement from its Supreme National Security Council after the attack, which Qatar said caused no injuries.

part 1 of 2:
─────
Today, Monday, June 23, 2025, Evin Prison was targeted by an airstrike. As a result of the impact from fighter jets attributed to Israel, parts of the administrative buildings, medical facilities, and the judicial office of the prison were severely damaged and destroyed.
Following this attack, a section of Ward 4 collapsed, windows and glass were shattered, and the interior space of the prison was destabilized. Simultaneously, many prisoners, in fear and seeking to save their lives, took refuge on lower floors, which resulted in injuries to several of them.
The prison's medical facilities have been effectively destroyed, and there are no initial resources available to address the condition of the injured inmates. Despite the deteriorating condition of some of the wounded, prison authorities have refused to transfer them to medical centers outside the prison, effectively leaving them without any care.
Meanwhile, instead of providing aid, security forces and prison guards have heavily secured the prison by deploying extensively in the wards, creating a highly secure environment. Threats, intimidation, and pressure on prisoners have increased, and we are facing double repression.

as with all uses of torture people will be forced to "confess" to things they have not done just to get the torture to stop,
whereby the regime's forces can use this pretext to get rid of other opposition activists and entirely innocent people,
especially since Israel's war has also resulted in changes for further harshening the "punishment" in cases like these alongside even further removal of safeguards against harming and even murdering the completely innocent.

During Israel's war of aggression in Iran there were many statements issued by the aggressor for the apparent purpose of inciting and granting unjustified pretext for this assault by the Iran-theocracy against the people, by unilaterally falsely associating groups of peoples and movements with the Netanyahu Gang, which they must have understood and therefore intended to have this effect, causing the regime to further crush those striving for freedom, equality, etc.
It is extremely likely that the authoritarian, reactionary, racist, sexist, etc Netanyahu Gang considers it a worst case scenario if the people currently under the Iran-theocracy, a regime with similar ideologies as their own, would through self-liberation achieve a society with equal rights, peaceful coexistence in diversity, secularism, etc as Iran's current regime is an "ideal opponent" so they would only want it replaced with a puppet-regime or someone eternally grateful for being handed power (i.e. e.g. Shah restoration).
