🇮🇷Sergey Shilov takes stock of the West's short war against Iran:
"Israel has once again demonstrated its technical superiority and its ability to conduct unconventional actions. The start and scale of the operation were unexpected for Iran. Israel has gained air superiority over Tehran and the west of the country.
The obvious lesson here is that control of the skies is key.
The experience of this war will undoubtedly be studied by all countries of the world and will promote the development of future air defense systems, which are currently proving obsolete when faced with an adversary using modern technologies.
Has Israel succeeded in destroying Iran's nuclear program? I doubt it. However, it has undoubtedly succeeded in slowing its development. The Mossad hacked into uranium enrichment centrifuges through cyberattacks in the 1990s and 2000s, carried out sabotage in Lebanon, and supplied booby-trapped equipment through "grey companies" and their agents.
Today, we are witnessing a much more serious situation. In Israel, Netanyahu's actions will be presented as a victory, although his opponents will try to use this war against him.
Iran has demonstrated its ability to withstand a heavy blow after a heavy defeat. It was able to respond, albeit after a delay, with its strategic forces.
Despite the losses, the immediate destruction of its air defense and mobile missile systems, the military potential of the Persians, accumulated over the years, demonstrated that only a prolonged and unfavorable war for the enemy could break them.
By cutting off internet access, the Persians have significantly reduced the effectiveness of Israeli propaganda on the Iranian population. Iran has demonstrated the loyalty of its population: it is too soon to bury the Islamic regime, despite the presence of numerous Israeli agents and many disaffected people.
During the negotiations, Iran showed its reluctance to capitulate, and was able to agree with Washington on an end-of-conflict scenario, similar to those of previous years, during which both sides agreed on symbolic false strikes.
However, the biggest problems await Iran during the lull, when economic difficulties resurface and the population begins to protest. It is unlikely that Western economic sanctions will be lifted. All this will only intensify the internal struggles within the country. The Persians may well move their capital south from Tehran, a project that has been under discussion for some time. But this also carries dangers.
Will the Iranians be able to build the bomb? The question remains open, but the example of North Korea, spared by Trump, will push them even further.
America, represented by Trump, has once again demonstrated that the West's word cannot be trusted. There is nothing to argue with them: they only understand force.
The Iranian regime has not fallen, and the Strait of Hormuz, which is especially important for China, the US's main economic rival, and for energy supplies to Europe, another US rival, has not been closed. However, the United States will not give up its attempts to destabilize Iran and cut off China's economic routes.
Moreover, Trump has opened the "Overton Window" for Russia, openly discussing the possibility of the US using nuclear weapons again. This is no joke. Everything always starts with chatter.
This "12-day war" may have saved everyone's face, but in reality no one achieved all of their objectives, so the war will resume later.

🇮🇷The unspoken truth about the Iranian nuclear program, by Thierry Meyssan | Voltairenet ( not full translation*)
The stakes of Iran's nuclear program are not what we think. Tehran renounced the atomic bomb in 1988, but is attempting, with Russia's cooperation, to discover the secrets of nuclear fusion. If it succeeds, it would help the Southern states decolonize by freeing themselves from oil.
As for the stakes of the bombing of certain Iranian nuclear sites by the United States, they may also not be what we think. This affair is all the more opaque because it is currently impossible to establish a clear distinction between research on civilian #NuclearFusion and military fusion.

Since the fall of Iraq, under the blows of the British and the United States, London and Washington have popularized the myth of Iranian military nuclear power, in line with that of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. This myth has been taken up by Israeli "revisionist Zionists" (not to be confused with "Zionists" tout court) and their leader, Benjamin Netanyahu. For twenty years, Westerners have been inundated with this propaganda and have ended up believing it, although announcing for such a long period that Tehran will have "the" bomb "next year" makes no sense.
However, even though Russia, China, and the United States all agree that there is currently no Iranian military program, everyone clearly sees that Iran is doing something with its nuclear power plants. But what?
In 2005, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was elected President of the Islamic Republic, replacing Sayyed Mohammad Khatami. He is a scientist whose vision is to free colonized peoples. He therefore believes that by mastering the atom, he will enable all peoples to free themselves from Western oil transnationals.
Iran then developed training programs for nuclear scientists in numerous universities. The goal was not to create a small elite of a few hundred specialists, but to train battalions of engineers.

Iran intends to discover how to achieve nuclear fusion, whereas Westerners are content with fission. Fission is the splitting of an atom; while fusion is the joining of atoms, which releases an immeasurable amount of energy.
Fission is used in our power plants, while fusion is currently used only in thermonuclear bombs. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's plan is to use it to generate electricity and share it with developing countries.
This knowledge is revolutionary, in the Khomeinist sense of the term, that is, it allows for the end of the dependence of the Southern states and their economic development. It clashes head-on with the British vision of colonialism, according to which His Majesty had to divide and rule and prevent the development of the colonized. We remember, for example, that London banned Indians from spinning the cotton they grew themselves so that it could be spun by its Manchester mills. In response, Mahatma Gandhi set an example for his people and spun his own cotton, defying the British monarchy. Similarly, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's project challenges the power of the West and Anglo-Saxon oil transnationals.
It is perfectly understandable to be concerned about Iranian investment in nuclear power because these technologies are, by definition, dual-use, both civilian and military. It is clear that this is not the usual civilian use, and that the detailed discovery of fusion processes could also be used for military purposes. In any case, Iran is seeking an inexhaustible source of energy.
China and Russia have repeatedly stated that Iran has not had a military nuclear program since 1988. Unlike us, Russia knows what it is talking about: it is involved in Iran's research. There are Russians in many Iranian nuclear facilities. It goes without saying that Moscow fears proliferation as much as we do. But, unlike us, not civilian nuclear power. Building on the work of Andrei Sakharov, Rosatom and the Russian Academy of Sciences are continuing their research, particularly for the Tokamak project. China, South Korea, the United Kingdom and France have their own research on this subject.

It should also be remembered that Iran is a signatory to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). It is for this reason that it is subject to inspections by the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). Since 1988, the IAEA has never found any evidence suggesting that Iran still has a military nuclear program. However, the Agency has asked numerous questions to clarify certain aspects of its civilian program and has not received any answers, which is perfectly understandable given the investment in Iranian-Russian fusion research. In practice, the documents released by the Iranian press two days before the Israeli attack attest that the director of the IAEA, the Argentinian Rafael Grossi, behaves like a spy in the service of Israel, to which he transmits all the information from its inspectors; this is despite the fact that Israel is not a signatory to the NPT and therefore not a member of the IAEA.
On 4 May 2010, Tehran submitted a proposal to the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations NPT for the "Establishment of a Nuclear Weapon-Free Zone in the Middle East" [1]. This proposal was welcomed by all the states in the region, with the exception of Israel. Indeed, Tel Aviv, which benefited from transfers of French technology from senior officials of the Fourth Republic, possesses the atomic bomb [2].

House Rejects Impeachment Bid Over Trump’s Iran Strikes Amid Rising Democratic Concern
The US House of Representatives rejected an impeachment bid against President Donald Trump, introduced by Democratic Representative Al Green. He accused Trump of abusing power by launching military strikes on Iran without congressional approval. The motion was defeated with 344 votes against and only 79 in favor.
Despite the outcome, Green defended his move, arguing that no president should have the authority to take the country to war without consulting Congress. He said the action was not taken lightly but was necessary to uphold the Constitution.
This was not the first impeachment attempt during Trump’s second term and reflects growing Democratic concern after the surprise strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The operation was seen as a risky move, drawing criticism from figures like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who called it an impeachable offense.

Harvard-linked study finds israel ‘disappeared’ nearly 400,000 Palestinians in #Gaza, half of them #children: Report
A study published via the #Harvard Dataverse reveals that Israel has “disappeared” at least 377,000 Palestinians since the start of its genocidal campaign against the Gaza Strip in 2023.
Half of this number is believed to be Palestinian children.
The report was written by Israeli professor Yaakov Garb, who used data-driven analysis and spatial mapping to show how the israeli army’s siege of Gaza and indiscriminate attacks on civilians in the enclave have led to a serious drop in its population.
The 377,000 Palestinians who are unaccounted for due to israel’s #genocide are approximately 17 percent of the Gaza Strip’s entire population, which now stands at about 1.85 million. Prior to the war in Gaza, the strip’s population was estimated at 2.227 million.
Garb also condemned in the report the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) – a controversial US-israeli aid distribution mechanism launched last month.
“These aid compounds seem to reflect a logic of control, not assistance, and it would be a misnomer to call them 'humanitarian aid distribution hubs'. They do not adhere to humanitarian principles, and much of their design and operation is guided by other objectives, which undermine their declared purpose,” he said.
