| Foreign Affairs › Renowned Palestinian Historian Walid Khalidi Dies Aged 100 (pic) by PMForce(op): 9:25am On Mar 10 |
Renowned Palestinian historian Walid Khalidi has died aged 100 after a decades-long scholarship focused on the history and displacement of the Palestinian people. The Institute for Palestine Studies (IPS) - a research and publication centre focused on the Palestinian plight that Khalidi co-founded in Beirut in 1963 - said he died in Cambridge, Massachusetts in the US on Sunday. Khalidi was a leading figure in documenting Palestinian society before the Nakba - the “catastrophe” of 1948, when Zionist militias ethnically cleansed Palestinians from their homeland to pave the way for the creation of Israel. Under his guidance, the institute produced significant studies, including translations between Hebrew, Arabic and English, and it remains a major resource on Palestinian history. Known as “the historian of the Palestinian cause”, Khalidi’s scholarship included translations of Israel’s first Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion’s diaries and those of Moshe Sharett, a former Israeli prime minister and minister of foreign affairs. The IPS also published The History of the Haganah, a detailed examination of Zionist militias involved in the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during the Nakba. Khalidi’s work revealed much previously hidden about the takeover and expulsion of Palestinians, including Plan Dalet, the 1948 master plan that guided the occupation of Palestinian land. His encyclopedic collections, including photographs and village records, provide rare insights into pre-1948 Palestine. Notable works include Before Their Diaspora: A Photographic History of the Palestinians and All That Remains: The Palestinian Villages Occupied and Depopulated by Israel in 1948. Born in July 1925 to a family of academics in Jerusalem, Khalidi also had a distinguished academic career. He taught at Oxford until 1956, leaving in protest over the British-French-Israeli Suez intervention, and later served as a professor at the American University of Beirut until 1982. He subsequently became a research fellow at Harvard’s Center for International Affairs. Throughout his life, Khalidi combined scholarship with political engagement. He had ties with the Arab Nationalist Movement, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Palestinian National Liberation Movement. He represented Palestine in the Arab League delegation in 1983 and in the joint Palestinian-Jordanian delegation to the Middle East peace talks in Washington, DC in 1991. A proponent of a two-state solution, Khalidi described it in Foreign Affairs in 1988 as “the only conceptual candidate for a historical compromise of this century-old conflict”.

Lunatic lovers of the Fake jew ashkenazi Zionists, don't know Israel don't care ANYTHING about Christians. About 40% of Lebanon is Christian and Israel has been killing then for at least 50 years. Israel is the only country on earth that sees "spitting" on Christians as a cultural practice. Only deluded animals support such. Dead brains, wake up, Israel don't care about you. 25 Likes 2 Shares

I will agree with you TODAY, if you can give me ONE credible evidence to support your allegations. Just one. See, I believe human brain that can imagine and achieve going to space and Mars shouldn't be reduced to believing lies that has NO evidence. Don't be reduced to a mob.

It only sensible to understand the background of the issues and know who is imposing and who's resisting, if Hitler had controlled the media and said all jews are terrorisr, I guess you'll support him because he had repeated it enough.

Don't be a fanatic, if you're not you will believe evidence than 'claims' that are not substantiated. To believe Israel that's at war with Iran and making accusations is nonsense. The fact that you cannot disprove is that Iran was at forefront of war against isis in. Northern Iraq and Syria, in fact Israel gave financial support and medical assistance to these isis when fighting on syria, and USA gave accolades to Qassim Sulaimani for his actions in defeat of isis. When you say. People who kill for their faith, you need to be explicit, and not expose ignorance or "hate" Hidden under vague concerns. PingBank: 1 Like 1 Share |

The "Madness" of the Allegation: Why Iran Sponsoring ISIS Defies Logic, History, and Faith There is a narrative floating around in certain political and media circles that is so absurd, so detached from reality, that it requires a specific kind of willful ignorance to believe it. It is the allegation that Shia-majority Iran is somehow a sponsor of Sunni extremist groups like ISIS (Daesh). As someone who understands the very basics of Islam, the kind of knowledge a two-year-old Muslim child absorbs by simply being in a family that prays, I can tell you that this claim is not just wrong; it is madness. It is an insult to logic, a distortion of history, and a complete erasure of the theological fault lines that have defined the Middle East for centuries. To put it plainly: it is not possible in common sense that a Shia theocracy would sponsor a group that considers Shia Muslims apostates and proudly claims responsibility for bombing their mosques and killing their families. When people make this allegation, they are speaking from a place of sheer and absolute ignorance. Their brains have shut down, replaced by a fanatical need to demonize. They "eat Muslims," as we say, finding any allegation, no matter how contradictory, to abuse and slander. This is not analysis; it is bigotry dressed up as geopolitics. So, let's try to wake up those dead brains with a dose of reality. The Daesh Divide: A Matter of Life and Death You don't need to be a scholar to understand the schism between Sunni and Shia Islam. The core historical disagreement is about the succession of leadership after the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). This isn't a minor theological quibble; it is a profound identity marker. Now, look at the groups in question. Look at Al-Qaeda. Look at ISIS (Daesh). These are puritanical, ultra-fundamentalist Sunni groups. Their ideology is not just anti-Western; it is virulently, murderously anti-Shia. They believe Shia Muslims are heretics. They have bombed Shia mosques, shrines, and marketplaces from Baghdad to Kabul. They have slaughtered Shia pilgrims. They celebrate it. It is a core tenet of their existence . To suggest that Iran—the self-proclaimed protector of Shia Islam, the country whose leaders constantly speak of defending the shrines and the honor of the Ahl al-Bayt (the Prophet's family)—would fund the people who curse that family and kill its followers is simply insane. It would be like asking the Vatican to secretly fund a group of atheists who want to burn down every Catholic church in the world. It defies every law of self-preservation and logic. Iran on the Frontlines: The Nightmare of ISIS The ultimate proof of this absurdity is not just theoretical—it is written in the blood of Iranian soldiers. When ISIS swept through Iraq and Syria, who was actually on the ground fighting them? Who was shedding blood to stop their advance? It was Iran. General Qasem Soleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds Force, became a living legend in the fight against ISIS. He was on the frontlines in Iraq, strategizing with Iraqi forces and the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) to push back the terrorist tide. An Iranian major general explicitly stated that once ISIS started its terror acts in Iraq, no country except Iran helped Iraqis in the destruction of the group . The entire world, including the US president at the time, was reportedly flabbergasted by Iran's decisive move, even though he was later killed by anothet USA president (Trump) . Iranian military advisors were embedded with Syrian government forces, helping them reclaim territory from ISIS and other terrorist factions . The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) even launched missile strikes on ISIS positions in Syria, sending a strong message to the world about their commitment to eradicating this menace . Iran's defense minister made it clear: not only regional people, but people around the world are indebted to the fight carried out against terrorists in Syria . Iran did not just talk about fighting terrorism; they fought and died fighting it. The Iranian people know this. The families who lost sons in the battle against ISIS know this. The Strange Case of Israel and ISIS Now, contrast that with the behavior of the very actors who love to point fingers at Iran. When you look at the actions of the United States' "greatest ally against terrorism," a very different, much darker picture emerges . It has been widely reported across credible platforms that Israel has supported the very groups Iran was fighting. In the spring of 2015, journalists at the Wall Street Journal revealed that Israel had been treating wounded al-Qaeda and al-Nusra fighters—an ISIS affiliate—in Israeli hospitals . This wasn't just charity; it was a strategic alliance. Reports indicate that Israel provided funding, weapons, and logistics to these groups, going so far as to pay the salaries of terrorist commanders . One commander from the Knights of the Golan group admitted, "Israel stood by our side in a heroic way. We wouldn't have survived without Israel's assistance" . But the support didn't stop at medical aid. During the height of the ISIS caliphate, Israel reportedly became one of the largest buyers of oil from ISIS's captured wells, purchasing billions of dollars' worth of stolen oil through a network of brokers . Think about that. While Iranians were dying to extinguish the flame of ISIS, Israel was buying fuel to keep it burning. This relationship was so open that in 2016, a senior Israeli foreign policy analyst published a white paper titled "The Destruction of Islamic State is a Strategic Mistake," arguing that a weak but functioning ISIS was actually in the West's interest because it would hamper Iran's influence . Former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon even revealed that after a rare clash in the Golan Heights, an ISIS-linked group actually apologized to the IDF . In the entire history of ISIS, it attacked Israel only once, and then immediately apologized . Compare that to the thousands of attacks they launched against Shia Muslims. More recently, Israeli journalists have revealed that the Netanyahu government has been funding and arming the Hamasha Clan, a pro-ISIS drug gang operating in the region. When confronted about supporting an ISIS-linked group, Netanyahu reportedly responded, "What's wrong with that?" . That one question tells you everything you need to know. The Real Allies: Politics of Resistance, Not Theology of Hate When critics conflate all Iranian allies into one monolithic blob of "terrorism," they ignore a crucial distinction. Yes, Iran supports groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis. But these are not ideological soulmates in the way that ISIS is. These are political groups, born from specific historical circumstances: occupation and aggression. · Hezbollah: This group was not founded in the 7th century to fight a theological war. It was founded in the 1980s because Israel invaded Lebanon and, unprovoked, laid siege to its capital, Beirut. Not only did they take the city, but the alliance that enabled this included Western powers like the US and France. Hezbollah emerged as a resistance force to expel an occupying army. Their fight is fundamentally about sovereignty. · Hamas: Love them or hate them, Hamas is a Palestinian political faction fighting against an occupation that has lasted for decades. They are a Sunni group, but their alliance with Iran is geopolitical, not theological. It is based on the principle of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"—a shared opposition to Israeli expansion. They have never attacked outside the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. · The Houthis: In Yemen, the Houthis (Ansar Allah) emerged as a movement against a corrupt, US-backed regime and later against a devastating Saudi-led military coalition that bombed their country into a humanitarian catastrophe. These are not groups dedicated to a global caliphate or to wiping out Shiaism. They are nationalist and anti-imperialist movements, by and large. Their support from Iran is strategic, part of a "Resistance Axis" against US and Israeli hegemony in the region. Waking Up the Dead Brain The allegation that Iran backs ISIS serves a singular purpose: to muddy the waters. It is a tool used by those who want to paint all resistance to Western hegemony as a single, evil, terrorist blob. It allows propagandists to say, "Look, they are all the same," when in reality, the people of ISIS would gladly kill the people of Hezbollah and vice versa. The facts are simple. Iran fought ISIS on the ground. Iran lost soldiers to ISIS. Iran spent billions to destroy ISIS. Meanwhile, Israel treated ISIS fighters in their hospitals, bought their oil, and publicly argued that destroying them would be a "strategic mistake." So, to those who repeat this nonsense: Do better. Read a history book. Understand the basics of a faith that 1.8 billion people follow. Recognize that Iran and ISIS are not just enemies; they are existential threats to one another's existence. The only thing more dangerous than a fanatic with a gun is a fanatic with a microphone who is too ignorant to know the difference.

| Foreign Affairs › Iranians Saw USA Actions In Iraq And Afghanistan, Won't Corporate With USA, Iran by PMForce(op): 10:57pm On Mar 08 |
"We Saw What Happened in Iraq and Afghanistan": Iran’s Larijani Vows Never to Cooperate with the US In a stark message delivered during a recent press meeting, Iran’s top security official, Ali Larijani, has firmly rejected any possibility of cooperation with the United States. Larijani, the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, invoked the recent histories of Iraq and Afghanistan as cautionary tales, asserting that the Iranian people have learned from the devastation wrought by US intervention and will never subject themselves to a similar fate. His comments come at a time of extreme volatility in the Middle East. Following the recent joint US-Israeli strikes that resulted in the death of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Larijani has emerged as a leading voice of defiance, emphasizing that the Iranian nation possesses a deep "civilizational maturity" that understands the difference between internal grievances and betraying the homeland to an external enemy . The Ghosts of Baghdad and Kabul Larijani’s argument taps into a widely held perception across the Middle East: that US involvement in Iraq (2003) and Afghanistan (2001-2021) led not to liberation, but to chaos, sectarian violence, and national humiliation . By pointing to these two countries, Larijani is directly countering any narrative—real or perceived—that the Iranian people would welcome American forces as liberators. "Today, not only has America's authority in the region collapsed, but neighboring countries have also realized that the US is no longer capable of guaranteeing their security," Larijani stated, framing Washington as a declining power whose promises have proven hollow . This sentiment is echoed by analysts who note that unlike the artificial states created in the post-colonial era, Iran is an ancient civilization with a "millenary survival instinct." Where tribal divisions in Iraq and Afghanistan led to rapid social disintegration under foreign pressure, Iranian society historically defaults to a reflex of "national honor" and homeland defense when faced with external threats . External observers have noted that rather than sparking a revolution against the government, foreign intervention tends to trigger a "rally 'round the flag" effect, consolidating the public around the central authority to protect sovereignty . A Civilizational Shield vs. "Social Engineering" The Iranian security chief framed the current conflict not just as a political dispute, but as a clash of civilizations. He described the American strategy as an attempt at "social engineering"—an effort to collapse the Islamic Republic from within by destroying national unity . However, he argued, this strategy has failed because it underestimated the resilience of Iran's national identity. "Contrary to the enemy's expectations, social cohesion and public cooperation with security institutions... have been preserved due to the vigilance of the people," Larijani explained . This resilience extends to the economic sphere as well. Through its "Resistance Economy," Iran has turned decades of sanctions into a driver for domestic self-sufficiency, making the populace more dependent on the state and neutralizing the "street's revolutionary energy" that Washington had hoped to ignite . Larijani’s message was also directed at the internal opposition. By referencing the "civilizational maturity" of Iranians, he drew a hard line between domestic reform movements and foreign collaboration. "The Iranian nation... clearly understands the difference between internal demands and betrayal of the homeland," he said, warning that no amount of external pressure would force Iranians to trade their "identity and independence for a treacherous enemy" . The View from Washington Larijani's defiance stands in stark contrast to voices in Washington that have long advocated for regime change. Some US analysts have previously argued that Iran is fundamentally different from Iraq or Afghanistan, but for opposite reasons. Pro-intervention hawks have suggested that because Iran is a more educated and nationally conscious state, the fall of the clerical regime could lead to a stable, pro-Western democracy without the need for a lengthy military occupation . However, Larijani and other Iranian officials reject this premise entirely, viewing it as a delusional fantasy. They point to the 1953 CIA-backed coup that overthrew Prime Minister Mohammad Mossadegh—a historical wound that remains fresh in the national consciousness—as proof that the US cannot be trusted, regardless of its rhetoric about democracy and liberation . "America First" is "Israel First" Beyond the historical analogies, Larijani used the press conference to attack the current US administration's motives. He accused President Donald Trump of betraying his own "America First" slogan to adopt an "Israel First" policy. "The hysterical behavior and non-diplomatic language of Donald Trump reflect a strategic impasse as well as an absolute submission to Israeli policies," Larijani charged . He claimed that Trump had been "deceived by Israel" into sacrificing American treasure and blood to advance Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's "illegitimate expansionist ambitions" . According to this view, the recent strikes on Iran were not about American security, but about serving the geopolitical goals of Israel, dragging the entire region into an unnecessary war. Conclusion As the Middle East teeters on the brink of a wider conflict, Ali Larijani's message is a clear signal to Washington: Iran will not break. By invoking the specters of Iraq and Afghanistan, he is framing the conflict as an existential struggle for national survival, warning that any American expectation of an easy victory or a liberated populace greeting their troops is a dangerous miscalculation. "The civilizational maturity of the Iranian nation is the final blow to Trump's imperial illusions," Larijani declared . For now, the Iranian leadership is banking on that maturity to weather the storm, refusing to cooperate with a power it views as both perfidious and in decline.

| Foreign Affairs › USA Is Calling For Ceasefire Again, This Time We Will See The End, Iran FM (vid) by PMForce(op): 6:32pm On Mar 08 |
TEHRAN, March 5 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has said that his country is not requesting a ceasefire with the United States and Israel, and does not see any reason to negotiate with Washington. He made the remarks in an interview with U.S. broadcaster NBC News aired on Thursday. "We are not asking for a ceasefire, and we don't see any reason why we should negotiate with the United States when we negotiated with them twice, and every time, they attacked us in the middle of the negotiations," Araghchi said. Regarding the possibility of a ground invasion by the United States against Iran, Araghchi said, "We are waiting for them because we are confident that we can confront them, and that would be a big disaster for them." He added that Iran was fully ready for the ongoing conflict and is prepared for any other eventuality, even a ground invasion, emphasizing that the country's armed forces are ready for any scenario. Meanwhile, Iran said Thursday that the Navy of its Islamic Revolution Guards Corps has targeted the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier with drones 340 km off the country's territorial waters in the Gulf of Oman. Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters told state-run IRIB TV that after being hit with the Iranian drones, the aircraft carrier, along with its destroyers, quickly fled and is currently over 1,000 km away from the region. The developments follow joint U.S.-Israeli strikes on Tehran and several other Iranian cities starting Saturday morning, leading to the death of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, some of his family members, top military commanders, and civilians. Iran responded through several waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and U.S. assets in the region. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W44w_15lfjA?si=FJoDWeakYoaoyywO 1 Like |

| Foreign Affairs › Thousands Of Iranians Protested Against Invasion Despite Usa-is Bombing (video) by PMForce(op): 4:52pm On Mar 07 |
As the thunder of airstrikes echoes across Iranian cities and plumes of smoke rise against the horizon, a different kind of image is emerging from the heart of the conflict: the image of thousands of Iranians taking to the streets, not in panic, but in protest. While the US-Israeli bombardment campaign targets military and strategic sites, the people on the ground are sending a clear message that their spirit cannot be broken by foreign missiles. In the face of devastating strikes that have reportedly killed hundreds—including a tragic incident at a girls’ school in Minab that claimed the lives of young students —civilians are displaying a profound act of courage. According to Iranian media and verified footage, demonstrators have gathered in major squares across Tehran and other cities. They are not fleeing; they are standing their ground, chanting anti-US and anti-Israel slogans even as bombings occur in their surroundings . This is not the reception that was perhaps anticipated by Washington and Jerusalem, who had urged Iranians to rise up against their rulers . Instead, for a significant portion of the population, the foreign attacks have galvanized a sense of national unity. Observers on the ground describe a shift in the public mood. In east Tehran, what was once a mundane junction locals called "Coca Cola Square" has transformed into a gathering point for "ordinary people, in a spontaneous display of grassroots anger, rising up against the U.S. and Israel, and standing firmly in support of Iran" . The scenes are particularly striking given the danger. Reports from residents in Tehran describe a city on edge, where "almost everything is shut down" and explosions are heard regularly . Yet, despite the fear and the disruption—the empty streets and soaring food prices—many are choosing to voice their opposition to the bombardment. They stand in the thousands, refusing to be cowed by the intensity of the military campaign. This defiance is layered with deep grief and historical memory. The assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, killed alongside members of his family during the holy month of Ramadan, has evoked powerful religious symbolism. For many Shia Muslims, the timing and nature of the killings resonate with the martyrdom of revered religious figures, transforming political anger into a deeply personal and spiritual mourning . As your video likely captures, these protesters are the human face of a conflict often discussed in terms of geopolitics and military strategy. They are the shop owners worried about survival, the residents hearing the roar of fighter jets overhead, and the crowds chanting "Death to America" not necessarily as a political slogan, but as a rejection of the destruction raining down on their neighborhoods . While some Iranian dissidents abroad have expressed gratitude for the end of the clerical establishment's leadership, those inside the country are living a more complex reality . They navigate the duality of potential political change against the immediate, visceral terror of being bombed. As one Tehran resident noted, the decision to stay or flee is agonizing when your means of survival are tied to the city under siege . The international community watches as the UN warns of violations of international law and the horrific toll on children mounts . But on the ground, in the streets of Tehran, Qom, and Isfahan, the story is being written by ordinary people who, even as their surroundings are bombed, stand firm. They are the living proof that the soul of a nation is not so easily destroyed. Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZHvvaFNuVQ?si=YeMuSkJd6tFOUsUC

| Foreign Affairs › UK Min. Of Defence: Drone That Struck UK Base Not From Iran (pic) by PMForce(op): 7:47pm On Mar 05 |
By Imran Mulla Published date: 5 March 2026 11:43 GMT | Last update: 7 hours 26 secs ago A drone which hit Britain's Royal Air Force Akrotiri base in Cyprus was not launched from Iran as many had initially assumed, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has revealed. Officials reportedly believe the "Shahed-type drone" evaded detection by flying low and slow on Sunday. It hit a hangar used by American U-2 spy planes and burst into flames. There were no casualties and the MoD said there was "no damage to equipment inside the hangar". But the UK has still not confirmed where exactly the drone was launched from – and who was responsible. The MoD said it believes the drone was launched by a pro-Iran militia in Lebanon or in western Iraq, but an investigation has proved unable to conclusively establish where. The Sun quoted an unnamed official saying: "Based on type of drone and its range and ability, Defence Intelligence can confirm that that drone was not launched from Iran." According to Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the drone was launched before he announced on Sunday evening that the US would be allowed to use UK military bases for the purpose of targeting Iranian missile sites. The Cypriot government has strongly criticised Britain for failing to stop the drone hitting the base or to warn locals on the island. It said on Monday morning that a further two unmanned aerial vehicles were intercepted while heading towards RAF Akrotiri. 'The people are disappointed' The Cypriot high commissioner in the UK, Kyriacos Kouros, said "the people are disappointed, the people are scared, the people could expect more". The president's spokesperson, Konstantinos Letymbiotis, said on Tuesday: "All necessary steps will be taken to communicate our dissatisfaction, both with the way this message was communicated and the fact that yesterday there was no timely warning to citizens of Cyprus living near the Akrotiri bases." British Defence Secretary John Healey flew to Cyprus on Wednesday and reportedly met his Cypriot counterpart on Thursday morning. Starmer insisted in parliament on Monday that the two RAF bases on Cyprus are not being used by US bombers. Britain has two bases in Cyprus, in Dhekelia and Akrotiri. From the base on Akrotiri, RAF planes conducted hundreds of surveillance flights over Gaza throughout Israel's war on the besieged enclave. Local residents have been evacuated from areas surrounding the bases. France and Greece have deployed military support to Cyprus, including F-16 fighter jets and anti-missile and anti-drone systems, while the UK has sent a Royal Navy destroyer to the country, which is expected to arrive next week. While it is unclear whether the US will use RAF Akrotiri to launch attacks on Iranian missile sites, it is thought that the US will likely use the joint UK-US military base on Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean Chagos Archipelago.

Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Tuesday it has struck the second U.S. Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) anti-missile system in the West Asia region. In a statement published on its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said it hit and destroyed the system with precision-guided missiles. According to the statement, the IRGC on Monday destroyed the radar of a U.S. THAAD system stationed in a military base in the United Arab Emirates. It said the destruction of the anti-missile systems has provided its forces with greater freedom to successfully hit their targets. On Saturday morning, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing the country's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, some of the leader's family members, top military commanders and civilians. Iran responded through several waves of missile and drone attacks targeting Israel and U.S. bases in the region. In another statement on Tuesday, the IRGC said it has targeted positions of the "hostile counter-revolutionary" groups based in Iraq's semi-autonomous Kurdistan region, which were planning to infiltrate Iranian territory and take action against the country. In addition, Iran's army said on Tuesday the country's air defenses brought down six Israeli Hermes drones in the provinces of Isfahan, Kermanshah, East Azarbaijan, Khuzestan and Tehran over the past 24 hours. It added since the beginning of the war, the Iranian armed forces have shot down 35 advanced drones belonging to the "aggressive enemies." Meanwhile, the general staff of the Iranian Armed Forces on Tuesday denied in a statement any attack by Iran against Oman's territory and ports, the official news agency IRNA reported.

Speaking at a conference last week, Bennett said that Israel must not “turn a blind eye” to Turkiye, accusing it of being part of a regional axis “similar to the Iranian one”.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2026/2/23/turkish-threat-talked-up-israel-netanyahu-focuses-new-alliances 3 Likes 2 Shares

President Donald Trump is open to supporting groups in Iran willing to take up arms to dislodge the regime, an idea that could turn Iranian factions into ground forces at least rhetorically backed by Washington, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing US officials. The officials said Trump has spoken with Kurdish leaders and is engaging other local figures who could seek to exploit Tehran's weakness, though no final decision has been made on whether the United States would provide arms, training or intelligence support.
