  1. "The grotesquely branded Operation Epic Fury is deeply unpopular around the world, yet support for the war persists across significant segments of the diaspora [...]
    "Backers of the war have formed a highly visible bloc, amplified by powerful right-wing networks. The beleaguered minority of diaspora voices who vocally oppose the war, on the other hand, are routinely smeared as terrorists or fifth columnists..."

  2. "A striking datum of this war is how few attempts have been made at selling it, rhetorically dignifying it, morally arming it or situating it in some context of shared Western interests. [...] The right no longer caters to, nor needs, its liberal outriders. They hang on out of habit."

    Richard Seymour on the #warOnIran

  3. "What is at stake in this confrontation is the future of the entire region [...] Arab political elites have been so thoroughly subordinated that they stood idly by, or even aided and abetted, as #Israel slaughtered Palestinians by the tens of thousands, which gives some sense of what they hope to accomplish in #Iran."

  4. "Adam Shatz is joined by Robert Malley and Esfandyar Batmanghelidj to discuss the chaos of #Trump’s #Iran strategy, whether the United States and #Israel are aligned in their objectives for the region, and what Iran’s future might look like if Trump decides to bring the conflict to an end in the near term."

  5. 'I see some Iranians in the diaspora doing the “Y.M.C.A.” Trump dance while their country burns. I dread opening X or any social media, which I do every morning anyway, just to see fellow Iranians applaud Donald Trump’s war on their country, deny atrocities, or even blame the regime for the missiles landing on their compatriots’ heads. Yes, I, too, am a self-hating Persian in those moments.'

  6. "On February 28, the US and #Israel launched unprovoked attacks against the Islamic Republic of #Iran, unleashing a war that has rapidly escalated across the region. While #Trump and #Netanyahu want regime change, the Iranian regime has shown that it will not go down easily. In the face of US #imperialAggression, what is the future for Iran?"

Achieving the first would give Israel the immunity it needs for the second: rectifying the mistake the historian Benny Morris lamented when he criticized Ben Gurion for not expelling all the #Palestinians in 1948." - #IlanPappé

  12. 'While #Israel does not desire to depopulate and settle Iranian territory in the way that it does Palestinian or Lebanese land, the policy of collective punishment of the entire population has been much the same, both now and during the so-called “Twelve-Day War” in June of last year.'

"While the war expands across the region, and the death toll mounts—including at least 180 people incinerated at a primary school in Minab, most of them young girls—the Democratic response to what could end up being the biggest geopolitical disaster of the 21st century is foot-dragging, silence, and sleepy, feigned opposition long after the deed is done."

  32. "The explosion was so powerful that debris landed on the Yadegar-e-Emam Expressway, a few hundred feet from where the main gate had previously stood. [...] Cars had been mangled; buildings inside and outside the prison compound had been destroyed; windows along the block were blown out. The ground was littered with bodies."

Israel and the US seem to hope that they can shatter the Iranian state and induce civil unrest.

  39. "Beneath Trump’s talk of ‘deal-making’ was a maximalist demand: not only that #Iran abandon its civilian nuclear programme, but that it dismantle its missile arsenal and regional alliances as well. This is what Netanyahu has repeatedly called the ‘Libya option’. Not détente or normalisation, but total capitulation, of the kind that Tehran was never going to accept."
