Einst hatte Bundeskanzler Merz voller Begeisterung verkündet, Israel erledige mit seinem Angriff auf Iran „die Drecksarbeit für uns“. Doch nur wenige Monate später beklagt derselbe Kanzler, dass dieser Krieg die europäische Wirtschaft 100 Milliarden Euro koste! Nun sieht sich auch sein Außenminister bemüßigt, den militärischen Überfall auf Iran zu rechtfertigen. Er ist von einer solchen Gleichgültigkeit und einem derartigen moralischen Verfall geprägt, dass er weder die menschlichen Opfer und begangenen Kriegsverbrechen zur Kenntnis nimmt noch die wirtschaftlichen Schäden begreift, die dieser Krieg seinem eigenen Land und Europa zufügt.

„Aus Schaden wird man klug“, sagt ein deutsches Sprichwort. Doch Hans Guck-in-die-Luft scheint nicht lernfähig zu sein.

"Pride comes before a fall." Driven by greed & hubris, and acting in the service of a deceitful regime, you dragged your country into an unlawful and atrocious war against Iran. Your calculations failed, your assumptions collapsed, and your strategic misjudgments became painfully evident - all because you fundamentally misunderstood Iran and, more importantly, the resilience, determination, and national pride of the Iranian nation.

The American people have now sent you a clear message. Yet, if you continue to disregard reality, dismiss the lessons of history, and persist in this dangerous course, the consequences of this grave miscalculation will extend far beyond what you have already witnessed.

So repeat these words until their meaning becomes impossible to ignore. Hear them until you finally understand the reality behind them:

Attacking Iran does not bring victory. It only results in defeat. Iran is not a nation that can be understood through arrogance, intimidated through threats, or brought to its knees through aggression.

Today is 13th Aban...

The UAE was established in 1971. Yet, despite the overwhelming historical record، geographical facts and documented evidence concerning Abu Musa and the Greater Tunb and Lesser Tunb, it lays claim to these IRANIAN islands whose history of being part of IRAN stretches back many millennia before the establishment of the federation itself.
Remarkably, Canada's Prime Minister has chosen to echo this absurd claim!
Canada, of all countries, must understand the importance of territorial integrity and national sovereignty as its own history is marked by the American invasion during the War of 1812, the Montreal Annexation Manifesto of 1849, and, more recently, Donald Trump's repeated threats to turn Canada into the 51st state of the United States. A country that has spent more than two centuries defending its territorial integrity against the ambitions of its southern neighbour - how can it take sides in a fabricated dispute and endorse an unfounded territorial claim that amounts to dangerous adventurism?

Is territorial integrity and respect for historical and legal facts a fundamental principle for Canada, or does it matter only when Canada's own sovereignty is at stake? Does Canada not realize that, in doing so, it is effectively sawing off the very branch on which it sits?

امروز، در سالروز درگذشت قیصر امین‌پور شعرش را دوباره می‌خوانیم و به یاد می‌آوریم آنان را که رفتند، اما بخشی از معنای ایران شدند؛ زنان و مردانی بزرگ که دلباخته دین و میهن بودند و جانشان را در راه عزت ایران و مردمانش فدا کردند، اما حضورشان در حافظه ملت برای همیشه ماندگار شد.

ناگه رجز هجوم خواندند
بر گُرده گردباد راندند

شستند به خون شب زمین را
شمشیر به آسمان رساندند

ماندند به عهد خویش و رفتند
رفتند ولی همیشه ماندند

Regardless of the politically motivated nature of the mandate imposed on the Human Rights Council by the UK، exploiting the so-called Special Rapporteurship on the Situation of Human Rights in Iran to blame Iran for the crimes committed by the US and Israel amounts to nothing less than a deliberate attempt to whitewash aggression, atrocities, and unilateral coercive measures. Such an approach is deeply misleading and profoundly disingenous.
