The... People's Sunni-Shia Split...?

https://piefed.social/c/tankiejerk/p/2027283/the-people-s-sunni-shia-split

"The conflict will not end when one side defeats the other. It will not end when the right deal is reached or the right pressure applied or the right leader replaced. It will end — if it ends — only when enough people within each of these traditions recover what their own deepest sources have always known: that the God they are killing for is not the God their mystics encountered."

April 29, 2026

According to the report on Wednesday, the #military is operating under a plan to demolish predominantly Shia villages in an effort they believe would prevent residents from returning.

As part of the campaign, troops are assigned designated zones to demolish, with commanders required to record the number of structures destroyed each day.

“The only mission is to continue the destruction,” one commander told #Haaretz. “There are no other tasks.”

Saudi Opposition Media: The arrest campaign is still targeting the people of Qatif; the number of detainees has exceeded 20 young men, and the process of verifying the names is still ongoing.

KSA is using the war on Iran as an excuse to crush the domestic resistance against the royal family and the religious apartheid system in the country.

The Shia minority in the country are now target a wich haunt unlike anything we have seen before.

The warmth displayed between #Iran and #Pakistan in the current meetings will significantly reduce some of the sectarian tensions between #Sunni and #Shia, Inshā’Allāh. It’s a very positive step.

#Trump threatened Iranians with annihilation. I strongly disagree with that rhetoric. 🇮🇷🛡️ Iranians survived Mongol and steppe invasions and have been here for ~3,000 years — one of the oldest civilizations. 🏛️📜 Many are Shia Muslims and revolutionaries; martyrdom is central to their identity. ✨🕯️ They’re resilient and determined — they'd rather die than surrender, like the Vietnamese in their resistance. 💪🌏 #Iranians #PersianHistory #Resilience #Shia #NeverSurrender They wont #Bow

Thoughtful. The insistence of western powers on an eastern Mediterranean colony ruled by Likkud and the right appears to reflect early 20th C imperial fantasies and disrespect for human rights of the people living there, even including Immigrants lured from difficult and discouraging western countries. It’s time to revive the priorities of human rights protections in world diplomacy.

Europe’s Anti-Civilizational Drive: Why And How

Silly anti-civilizational propaganda claims that tariffs and blockade could persuade a death cult like the Shia to suddenly turn reasonable and friendly to democracy. Seducing the Shia was tried for 47 years, and by the best and brightest, and it did not work: there were bombs in Paris (the French president then prevented the media from saying the bombing plots originated in Iran), hundreds of French and US troops were killed in mass bombings (1983), etc. Iran financed massively terrrorist groups in Lebanon, Gaza, Yemen, Iraq, etc. And harbors Al Qaeda…

The Shia’s obsession is to surprise the West with nuclear 9/11s, and, after nuclear bombings some cities in the West, they would be elated to die as martyrs: the religion the Shia believe in, a hard core variant of Islam, tells them that killing all the Jews and dying as martyrs fighting for their God are the highest calling.

Bombing the Shia into the Stone Age is entirely feasible, safe and effective to prevent them from committing mass murder with nuclear weapons.

Aerial bombing was even done to Nazi Germany, and destroyed it as a functioning country… Although at the time, bombs were extremely inaccurate.

With the Shia, there is no alternative. The aim is not to destroy the missiles outright because they are the pretext for extending the bombing campaign until the true objectives are achieved.

The real aim of the bombing campaign is to destroy the Shia Defense Industrial Base. And if that is not enough to persuade them, then the DIL, Dual Industrial Base (not just the defense factories and steel mills, but also the power infrastructure).

This is also a warning to Chinese dictator Xi to stop his aggression in the South China Sea and threats against Taiwan. 

The sweet and soft method was tried by Obama with the Shia. Obama even gave them 50 billion dollars. It did not work. The Shia went on with a massive, state of the art, nuclear war preparation program.

The Shia even developed some weapons no other power has. And those weapons work: consider the destruction of that AWACS E3 plane on a distant taxiway (localized by Putin’s forces), or the double tap (second projectile in the hole made by the first) at the US embassy in Riyadh.

As with Shia ally Putin, only ultimate strength works.. This is more of a world war than anything else.

European leadership, which was pro-Putin for 23 years, is now showing its true color: betraying the civilizational heritage so that the greedsters presently in power can stay so indefinitely.

So far, in the last three decades, European leadership has betrayed Europe. Now European leadership insists on betraying the USA. It will not have any luck, because that would require too much of an assault against rationality. But the plutocratic propagandists are trying.

In the latest news from France the anti-civilizational government is putting professional anthropologists, philosophers (Michel Onfray), C News (French most watched media), and Charles Darwin on trial (for saying man was a great ape), while loudly propagandizing for… Islam (a reference to interior minister Nunez declarations in April 2026 which were as explicit as possible).

One may wonder how come the European leadership became so keen on devolution. The answer is simple: Europe was defeated in the Second World War, by the USA and its proxy, the USSR (to whom half of Europe was given at Yalta before going to make a deal with the Saudis at the Great Bitter Lake in Egypt).

A defeatist mentality was installed in Europe to make this submission easier and more permanent (The Absurd, so-called “Existentialism”, Pedocriminality, so-called French Theory). European plutocracy thrived under the US Plutocratic Deep State.

Then came Putin, who extracted wealth from Russia, sending it to European plutocratic oligarchic colleagues, and providing energy (energy procurement was outlawed or discouraged in Europe, to accelerate deindustrialization). 

An anecdotal demonstration of this: even after Putin started to invade Ukraine in 2014, France sent crucial military equipment for the Russian air force, missile and aircraft (while Trump was sending Javelin anti-tank missiles to Ukraine…)

The European elite has been used to living with Putin, welcoming his money, oil and gas, and hiding it in plain sight. Now they have a problem, because Ukraine, flush initially with US weapons (initially sent by Trump I), resisted Putin. The treacherous European leadership has now to do as if they resisted Putin: appearances are everything.

Meanwhile the European left realized that more and more of the electorate had enough with their masquerade (superficial socialism over-taxing the middle class while profiting the hyper wealthy). So they made an alliance with (pseudo-) Greens and Islamists. And here we are.

Deindustrialization is nothing new: the Roman Republic died that way. Right, it was mostly agriculture, but there was great replacement of Roman independent little farmers, the backbone of Rome, by giant agribusinesses manned by armies of slaves (one latifundia could have ten thousand slaves). That broke the back of the Roman middle class, which was the spine of the Republic. It was also a conspiracy and a plot, because, starting with Tiberius Gracchus, the full theory of what was going on was exposed. And there was deliberate will, on the part of the self-described “Optimates” (they were “optimal”) to destroy the middle class and the Centuriate Assembly (Rome’s direct democracy voting assembly). Actually the rage of the Senate against Caesar was caused by him overriding the Senate (where the Optimates ruled) to go directly to the Assembly when he was Consul in 59 BCE, and do what the Gracchi and their thousands of followers, over generations, could not do: redistribution of land.

Rome died of the deindustrialization. First the army got professional, then took power after horrendous civil wars. Then the decimated population got replaced by more placid middle easterners. In the end much of everything Roman collapsed and the Barbarians took over (fortunately the Franks had been prepared as a second foundation of Rome; yes they were armed farmers, like the original Rome, and they had learned to speak Latin).

The plutocrats though were happy: many of them stayed in power for centuries, even millennia. In the present Europe, many families in power have been that way for centuries. Paradoxically that system installed in its latest version by the USA after 1945, has now turned against the US, which needs an ally and discovers that Europe has LOST AGENCY.

Stay tuned, this is only beginning…

Archangel Michael

Also called Michael the Taxiarch. A taxiarch is used in the Greek language to mean “brigadier,” or a commander of a company. In Greek Orthodoxy, it refers to the Archangels Michael or Gabriel as leaders of the heavenly hosts.

Michael is an archangel & warrior of God in Christianity, Islam, & Judaism. The earliest surviving mentions of his name are in the 2nd or 3rd centuries BC Jewish works, often but not always apocalyptic. In these works, he’s the chief of the angels & archangels. He’s the guardian prince of Israel & is responsible for the care of the people of Israel.

Christianity conserved nearly all of Jewish traditions concerning him. He’s mentioned explicitly in Revelation 12:7-12, where he does battle with Satan, & in the Epistle of Jude, where the archangel & the devil have an argument over the body of Moses.

The Book of Enoch lists Michael as 1 of 7 archangels. The remaining names are: Uriel, Raguel, Raphael, Sariel, Gabriel, & Remiel. He’s mentioned again in the last chapters of the Book of Daniel, a Jewish apocalypse composed in the 2nd century BC, in which a man clothed in linen tells Daniel that he & “Michael, your prince” are engaged in a battle with the “prince of Persia,” after which, at the end-time, “Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise.”

Enoch was instrumental in establishing the pre-eminent place of Michael among the angels & archangels. In later Jewish works, he’s said to be their chief, mediating the Torah, & standing at the right hand of the throne of God.

In the traditions of the Qumran community, he defends, or leads, the people of God in the end-time battle. In other writings, he’s responsible for the care of Israel & acts as commander of the heavenly armies. He’s Israel’s advocate, contesting Satan’s claim to the body of Moses.

He intercedes between God & humanity & serves as High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary. (So would this make him Aaron’s equal? We’re sincerely asking. Let us know your take in the comments.) He accompanies the souls of the righteous dead to Paradise.

The 7 archangels (or 4, as traditions differ, but always include Michael) were associated with the branches of the menorah, the sacred 7-branched lamp stand in the Temple, as the 7 spirits before the throne of God. This is reflected in the Book of Revelation 4:5. Michael is mentioned explicitly in Revelation 12:7-12, where he does battle with Satan & casts him out of heaven so that he no longer has that exclusive access to God as accuser (his former role in the Old Testament).

Satan’s fall at the coming of Jesus marks the separation of the New Testament from Judaism. In Luke 22:31, Jesus tells Peter that Satan has asked God for permission to “sift” the disciples, the goal being to accuse them. But the accusation by Jesus, who thus takes on the role played by angels, & especially by Michael, in Judaism.

Michael is mentioned by anem for the 2nd time in the Epistle of Jude, which is an impassioned plea for the believers to engage in battle against the incursion of the error. In verses 9-10, the author denounces the heretics by contrasting them with the archangel Michael, who, in disputing with Satan over the body of Moses.

According to rabbinic tradition, Michael acted as the advocate of Israel. Sometimes he had to fight with the princes of other nations (Daniel 10:13), & particularly with the angel Samael, Israel’s accuser. Their hostility dates from the time Samael was thrown from heaven & tried to drag Michael down with him, requiring God’s intervention.

The rabbis declare that Michael came into his role as defender at the time of the biblical patriarchs. Rabbi Eliezer ben Jacob said Michael rescued Abraham from the furnace into which he’d been thrown by Nimrod. Some say he was the “one that had escaped” (Genesis 14:13), who told Abraham that Lot had been taken captive & who protected Sarah from defilement by Abimelech.

Michael prevented Isaac’s being sacrificed by his dad by substituting a ram in his place. He saved Jacob, while still in his mom’s womb, from death at the hands of Samuel. Michael later prevented Laban from hurting Jacob. The midrash Exodus Rabbah holds that Michael exercised his function as an advocate of Israel at the time of the Exodus & destroyed Sennacherib’s army.

Epiphanius of Salamis (circa 310-circa 320-403), in his Coptic-Arabic Hexaemeron, referred to Michael as a replacement of Satan. Accordingly, after Satan fell, Michael was appointed to the function Satan served when he was still 1 of the noble angels.

A painting of Michael slaying a serpent became a major art piece at the Michaelion after Constantine defeated Licinius near there in 324. This contributed to the standard iconography that developed of Michael as a warrior saint slaying a dragon. The Michaelion was a magnificent church & in time became a model for hundreds of other churches in Eastern Christianity.

In the 4th century, St. Basil the Great’s homily, De Angelis, St. Michael over all the angels. He was called “Archangel” because he heralds other angels, the title archangelos applied to him in Jude 1:9. The angelology of Pseudo-Dionysius, which was widely read as of the 6th century, gave Michael a rank in the hierarchy of angels.

Later, in the 13th century, others such as Bonventure believed him to be Prince of the Seraphim, the 1st of the 9 angelic orders. According to Thomas Aquinas, Michael is the Prince of the last & lowest choir, the Angels.

Catholics often refer to Michael as “Holy Michael, the Archangel” or “St. Michael.” He’s generally referred to in Christian liturgies as “St. Michael,” as in the Litany of the Saints. In a shortened archangel, is mentioned by name, omitting Saints Gabriel & Raphael.

In Roman Catholic teachings, St. Michael has 4 main roles or offices. His 1st role is the leader of the Army of God & the leader of celestial forces in triumphing over the powers of Hell. He’s viewed as the angelic model for the virtues of the “spiritual warrior,” his conflict with evil taken as “the battle within.”

The 2nd & 3rd roles of Michael in Catholic teachings deal with death. In his 2nd role, he’s the angel of death, carrying the souls of Christians to Heaven. In his 3rd role, he weighs souls on his perfectly balanced scales. The scales are a common object he holds in art.

In his 4th role, St. Michael, the special patron of the Chosen People in the Old Testament, is also Guardian of the Church. St. Michael was revered by the military orders of knights during the Middle Ages. The names of villages around the Bay of Biscay reflect this history.

The Eastern Orthodox give Michael the title Archistrategos, or “Supreme Commander of the Heavenly Hosts.” The Eastern Orthodox pray to their guardian angels & above all, to Michael & Gabriel. The Eastern Orthodox have always had a strong devotion to angels. In modern times, they’re referred to by the term “Bodiless Powers.” Several feasts dedicated to Archangel Michael are celebrated by the Eastern Orthodox throughout the year.

In Russia, many monasteries, cathedrals, courts, & merchant churches are dedicated to the Chief Commander Michael. Most Russian cities have a church or chapel dedicated to the archangel Michael. In Ukraine, the archangel Michael is the patron saint of Kyiv. He became popular from the time of Prince Vsevolod of Kyivan Rus’.

While in the Serbian Orthodox Church, St. Sava has a special role as the establisher of its autocephaly & largest Belgrade church devoted to him, the capital Belgrade’s Orthodox cathedral, the see church of the patriarch, is devoted to Michael.

The place of Michael in the Coptic Church of Alexandra is as a saintly intercessor. He’s the 1 who presents to God the prayers of the just, who accompanies the souls of the dead to Heaven, who defeats the devil. He’s celebrated liturgically on the 12th of each Coptic month.

In Alexandria, a church was dedicated to him in the early 4th century on the 12th of the month of Paoni. The 12th month of Hathor is the celebration of Michael’s appointment in Heaven, where Michael became the chief of the angels.

Seventh-Day Adventists believe that “Michael” is but 1 of many titles applied to the pre-existent Christ, or Son of God. According to Adventist theology, Michael was/is considered the “Eternal Word,” & the 1 by whom all things were created. The Word was then born, incarnated as Jesus.

They believe that the name “Michael” signifies “One Who Is Like God” & that, as the “Archangel” or “chief or head of the angels,” he led the angels; thus, the statement in Revelation 12:7-9 refers to Jesus as Michael.

Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that Michael is another name for Jesus in Heaven, in His pre-human & post-resurrection existence. They say the definite article in Jude 9 identifies Michael as the only archangel. They consider Michael to be synonymous with Christ, described in 1 Thessalonians 4:16: “with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, & with the sound of the trumpet.”

They believe the prominent roles assigned to Michael in Daniel 12:1, Revelation 12:7, Revelation 16, & Revelation 19:14 are identical to Jesus’ roles, being the 1 chosen to lead God’s people & as the only 1 who “stands up,” identifying the 2 as the same spirit being.

Because they identify Michael with Jesus, he’s considered the 1st & greatest of all God’s heavenly “sons,” God’s chief messenger, who takes the lead in vindicating God’s sovereignty, sanctifying his name, fighting the wicked forces of Satan & protecting God’s covenant people on earth. Jehovah’s Witnesses also identify Michael with the “Angel of the Lord” who led & protected the Israelites in the wilderness.

Members of the Mormon Church believe that Michael is Adam (of Adam & Eve fame), the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7), a prince, & the patriarch of the human family. They also hold that Michael assisted Jehovah (the pre-mortal form of Jesus) in the creation of the world under the direction of God the Father (Elohim). Under the direction of the Father, Michael also cast Satan out of Heaven.

In Islam, Mika’il (Michael) is 1 of 4 archangels along with Jibril (Gabriel, whom he’s often paired with), Israfil (trumpeter angel) & ‘Azra’il (angel of death). In other Islamic literature, Michael is associated with mercy. He asks God for forgiveness for humans & is 1 of the 1st angels who obeyed God’s orders to bow before Adam.

From the tears of Michael, angels of mercy are created as his helpers. Like Gabriel, with whom he’s often mentioned together, Michael is also a messenger. While Gabriel delivers messages from Heaven to humans, Michael delivers messages to the angelic world.

As the angel to execute God’s providence, he’s also associated with natural phenomena & causes rain upon the lands. Unlike Christian traditions, Michael is rarely shown as a warrior-angel, with a few references to the Battle of Badr by Suyuti as an exception.

The Miraj literature on occasion mentions both Gabriel & Michael as 2 angels who showed Muhammad Paradise & Hell. He’s mentioned in Shia supplication (Dua), reportedly handed down by the 6th Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq, in the prayers for blessings for the Bearers of the Throne.

The figures of Michael & Gabriel/Jibril serve as dual pillars of angelology. While they show up in the same texts, their “personalities” & mythological roles are distinct. Michael is the celestial soldier & protector. While Gabriel is the bridge between the divine mind & the human ear.

The name Michael (Mikha’el) translates from Hebrew as a rhetorical question: “Who is like God?” This name is actually a battle cry used during the primordial war in Heaven.

In the Book of Daniel, Michael is described as the “Great Prince” who stands guard over the people of Israel. Jewish Midrash expands on this. It suggests that Michael is the high priest of the Heavenly Temple. When other nations’ guardian angels argue against Israel, Michael acts as the defense in the celestial courtroom. Because after all, God is the judge of all.

Michael’s most iconic role comes from the Book of Revelation. Here, he leads an army of God against the Dragon (a.k.a. Satan). He’s almost always dressed in Roman/Medieval armor, standing over a defeated demon/dragon, holding a spear/sword.

In Catholic traditions, Michael has a secondary role as the Psychopomp. A Psychopomp is a conductor or a guide of souls. The 1 who “weighs” souls at the moment of death. This is why he’s sometimes shown with scales.

In Islamic tradition, Mikail (Michael) is 1 of 4 archangels. While Jibril feeds the soul (through revelation), Mikail is the Angel of Sustenance. He’s responsible for the forces of nature, specifically rain & lightning. Legends say he’s so moved by the majesty of God that he hasn’t smiled since the creation of Hell.

In the United States, Michael is the patron saint of paratroopers, police officers, & the military.

In the General Roman Calendar, the Anglican Calendar of Saints, & the Lutheran Calendar of Saints, Michael’s feast day is Michaelmas Day (September 29). The day is also the feast day of St. Gabriel & Raphael, in the General Roman Calendar & the Feast of St. Michael & All Angels in the Church of England.

In the Eastern Orthodox Church, St. Michael’s principal feast day is November 8. November 21, if they’re using the Gregorian calendar. Honoring him along with the rest of the “Bodiless Powers of Heaven” (angels) as their Supreme Commander, & the Miracle at Chonae is celebrated on September 6.

In the Coptic Orthodox Church, the main feast day is on 12 Hathor (between November 9 & December 9) & 12 Paoni (between June 8 & July 7). He is celebrated liturgically on the 12th of each Coptic month.

On April 7, the Oriental Orthodox Church commemorates the deliverance of the prophet Jeremiah from prison by Michael.

Moments of launching missiles from #Iran towards #TelAviv 🚀

Ya Fatima Zahra

#Shia #Fatimazahra

Yesterday I learned - from the friend who took me to #Golestan Palace 15 years ago - about the importance of the Battle of #Karbala (680CE) in #Shia Islam, how it is still celebrated every year, and how #Arbaeen has been largest gathering of humanity on the planet at ~20m.

The key message, so deeply ingrained in that culture, is that:

> Humiliation at the hands of a tyrant (aka total surrender) is worse than death.

I fear Israel is manipulating the US into committing genocide in #Iran

Про Иран и гражданскую войну в исламском мире.
Не предсказание, но анализ ситуации.

Самого аятоллу, министра обороны и главкомов армии и ксир ликвидировали первым же ударом. Разгромлены главные узлы ПВО, склады и базы армии и ксир. Уничтожены штабы и командные центры.
Что означает применение и спецоружия и разведданных.
Что тогда говорить о простых генералах, а тем более о младших офицерах? Смертников среди них не более 5%.
Именно понимание ситуации вынудит большинство офицеров покинуть позиции и скрыться. Часть из них примкнёт к народным восстаниям, чтобы добыть индульгенции. Часть побежит на север. Остальные покинут города в сторону провинции. Это расколет страну на восставшие города и религиозную провинцию, что создаст основу будущей гражданской войны в шиитском мире, да и в исламе в целом.

#Иран #Iran #БлижнийВосток #MiddleEast #шииты #Shia #исламскиймир #IslamicWorld #гражданскаявойна #CivilWar #КСИР #IRGC #геополитика #Geopolitics #военныйанализ #MilitaryAnalysis #режимаятолл #AyatollahRegime #революция #Revolution #безопасность #Security #региональнаяполитика #RegionalPolitics #кризис #Crisis #война #War

Такий сценарій виглядає логічним з точки зору військово-політичної динаміки, але він має кілька критичних умов.

По-перше, ліквідація верхівки влади — навіть якщо йдеться про аятоллу, керівництво армії та КСІР — сама по собі не гарантує миттєвого розпаду системи. Іранська держава десятиліттями будувала паралельні контури управління: регулярна армія, КСІР, спецслужби, релігійні структури та мережі губернаторів-клериків. Це створює запас стійкості. Однак одночасне знищення командних центрів і ППО дійсно означало б дуже глибоке проникнення розвідки і підготовку операції високого рівня.

По-друге, питання лояльності офіцерського корпусу. У системах типу іранської ідеологічна відданість концентрується у вузькому ядрі, тоді як значна частина офіцерів діє прагматично — орієнтуючись на виживання, кар’єру і баланс сил. У випадку різкого обвалу вертикалі управління можливі три типові реакції:

пасивна демобілізація (офіцери просто зникають із позицій);

перехід на сторону локальної влади або протестів;

формування регіональних сил самооборони під контролем місцевих еліт.

По-третє, географія Ірану. Країна має дуже різнорідну структуру регіонів: великі мегаполіси (Тегеран, Ісфахан, Шираз), периферійні етнічні райони (курдські, белуджські, азербайджанські території) та консервативні релігійні центри. Якщо центральна влада слабшає, міста і провінція починають рухатися різними політичними траєкторіями.

Тому більш імовірна не миттєва громадянська війна, а етап фрагментації влади:

1. параліч центрального командування;

2. локальні повстання в містах;

3. боротьба різних фракцій КСІР та духовенства;

4. поступове формування декількох центрів сили.

Якщо цей процес зайде далеко, конфлікт справді може вийти за межі Ірану і перетворитися на ширший шиїтський внутрішній конфлікт, оскільки іранська мережа союзників (Ірак, Ліван, Сирія, Ємен) тісно інтегрована в одну ідеологічну систему.

Коротко:
ліквідація керівництва — це не фінал режиму, а тригер довгого періоду хаотичної перебудови, який може завершитися або новим військово-релігійним режимом, або масштабною регіональною дестабілізацією.

Mr "no more wars" gained the record of most invasions by a #US president in one term, let alone two.

Not only that, but we see what they are doing in Iran and it's pretty much inflaming the #shia #Muslims, because killing women and children is not exactly a good look.

Also, the admin gang going back and forth about whether or not it's a #war shows how incompetent they are.

The thing I've been most angry about is #Albanese "warming" #ShiaMuslims in #Australia who are upset about Iran's leader being killed.

After the #ISIS attack in #Sydney nobody seems to acknowledge or care that ISIS have killed far more #Shia than Jews. At least people blaming Iran for the #BondiAttack are not being taken too seriously here, I hope?

But fight #Antisemitism alone is the wrong answer to an ISIS attack in the country that created the #ChristchurchTerrorist

With the #Iran conflict I have no idea what's going on, I've spent an unhealthy amount of time obsessing about two conflicting propaganda streams about #Gaza but it seems impossible to know what's going on in Iran,

Israel just bombed the Iranian assembly of experts building in Qum.

It's the place where the religious leaders were supposed to gather, electing the next spiritual leader.

Israel is truly turning this into a war on #Shia #Muslims in Iran, #Lebanon and #Iraq.

This is not about military, it's a declaration of war on Shia structure across West Asia.

Visitors to the Imam Reza shrine in Mashhad Iran seen fainting and crying as news spread of his Khamenei's official martyrdom.

Currently we are in #Ramadan month, which is one of the 4 holy months that God (Allah) forbids fighting, but allowed self-defending.

Additionally, #Islam did not allow- in general- offensive wars.

This is simply the reason why #Shia don't start wars and will never do.

#iran

#USrael having illegally attacked Iran, again, it seems committed to an endless #ZionistAttack on all #Shia until they are genocided like #Gaza. They have bought allies for this of course, including those who wish to renew the attack on #Houthis and #Hisbulla. With USA openly engaged. Big risk.

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:scxgmlojbo6iidl3enwcn2ac/post/3maa5y5fnis2f

The Israelis are surprised and annoyed that Ayatollah Khamenei is still making appearances in public.

These idiots do not understand the lunacy of the Shia muslims when it comes to desire to be martyred!
