-- USA, the world's bully shouldn't have a say in it. When Hezbullah had the health ministry last year they decreased the prices of all medicine by 25% and increased all hospital fundings. Most importantly they gave this ministry to a famous doctor, unlike what other parties did before.

🇫🇷🇱🇧 -- French Finance Minister: If #Lebanon needs financial assistance, #France will be there to help and we don't want to mix the issue of economic recovery in Lebanon with the question of #Iran.
Western analysts are unfortunately of no decency and respect. Secterian orientalists. There is nothing called "Shia express".

Anyways, these flights are carrying food products for Hezbullah funded subsidized markets using Al Sajad Card. https://twitter.com/MiddleEastGuy/status/1381614975332966404
Yemen: Claims of "39 civilians" martyred in an Houthi attack on an Islamic center in Maarib

The number of 39 is unsupported, and this video (cf ⁠attached tweet) shows little damage and no victim.

As for the injured children, those are from an explosion in Taiz, away from Maarib's frontline.

Iran unveils new “exo-atmospheric maneuvering” technology, evading air defense.

By using “pressurized gas thrusts or dual liquid fuel” outside the atmosphere, the missile trajectory is variable, and the “exact direction of the warhead is unpredictable” –Islamic World News relates. This “greatly reduces the chances of an air defense missile hitting a warhead”.

The main advantage in this method (compared to maneuvering in the hypersonic flight) is the not expensive upgrade of the old warheads. Iran becomes second to Russia to unveil such technology.

Speaking of nuclear deal of Iran and the West

Once upon a time Russia wanted to expand its share on European gas market. The Nord Stream 2 project was declared. Nobody was hiding that the second purpose of building this pipe was to avoid Ukrainian transit, because they often tried to steal the gas even before the conflict in 2014, and they asked for transit too much.

Due to Ukrainian crisis the US implemented sanctions against the Nord Stream 2, and the project was delayed enough to fall under the new European antitrust regulations, which made it impossible for Gazprom to export gas alone. The Russian govt put up with it and continued construction of the pipe.

Then Danish govt demanded new ecological expertise of the project, and the Americans declared a new round of sanctions against the Nord Stream 2. In 2019 Russia had to sign new gas contract with Ukraine for 5 years. But Russia once again put up with it. Everybody thought "it's humiliation, but we'll finish our precious project (it was 95% ready at the moment) and get rid of Ukrainian transit forever".

In 2021 the Ukrainian govt massed its troops near DPR/LPR. Russia did the same, got another round of sanctions, the Nord Stream 2 launch was delayed again. It was built, the test launch was made, but judicial complications prevented its work. Before 24th of February 2022 it still was under license procedure.

Every round Russia was defeated and humiliated. Every moment Europeans showed that they are independent only until the orders from Washington. We lost time and money, while the West was arming Ukraine. It was a tough lesson.

So, what's about the nuclear deal? Don't waste your time and make nukes

Mohamed ElBaradei, the former IAEA DG: Israel's attack on Iran is telling people why you need nukes

He said:

For #Israel to attack #Iran including its nuclear facilities (prohibited by international law) and for #Trump to ask Iran for “total surrender” and forgo a treaty right (uranium enrichment) in a clear act of national humiliation, on suspicion that it is developing nuclear weapons (possessed by both #Israel and #US ), suspicion that does not constitute an “imminent threat” as confirmed by all western intelligence agencies and was dealt with through negotiations in #JCPOA agreement of 2015 which the US withdrew from in 2018

To rely on force and not negotiations is a sure way to destroy the #NPT and the nuclear non  proliferation regime (imperfect as it is) and sends a clear message to many countries that their “ultimate security” is to develop nuclear weapons !!!
