— 🥰/🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇵🇸 NEW: Under pressure from the Trump administration, Google has deleted over 700 videos documenting Israeli war crimes since early October
Out of the deleted videos, one was about the murder of journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who held American citizenship and whom U.S. officials believe was deliberately shot by the IDF.
Google also signed a $45 million deal to publish Israeli propaganda at the height of the man-made famine in Gaza and to justify aggression against Iran.
Internal emails show that Google repeatedly denied that Israeli ads denying the famine were in violation of its policies.

From now on, you will see interviews / Q&A sessions with high-ranking Iranian (and other) officials more often on this channel.
Other interviews are in the works.
— 🇮🇷 Iranian MP, Amirhossein Sabeti, when asked by MES why Iran keeps negotiating with the West despite broken promises:
'Iran is a democratic country, the monarchy was abolished in 1979. Iranian officials are dependent on the people's votes. The chairman of the Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, was primarily recommended by the President (Pezeshkian) and simply approved by the Supreme Leader; this has always been the case.
The Supreme Leader doesn't impose his views on people, his approach has always been to work with the President, because he got the people's vote. Even if the President's views may be contradictory to his.
When the elected President is someone like Masoud Pezeshkian, it's natural that the government officials will also follow his view on matters (like negotiations).
That's why you see, when someone like Ahmadinejad was President, and his negotiator was Saeed Jalili, that Iran moved towards expanding its nuclear capabilities, whereas during Rouhani's term, with a negotiator like Javad Zarif, Iran moved the opposite direction, limiting its nuclear program.'

— 🇵🇸/☦️ State of Palestine on X: 'The Virgin Mary, Queen of Palestine and the Holy Land'
Compare this to the Jewish narrative, which considers the holy Virgin Mary to be a promiscuous woman and a fornicator.
Real Christians support Palestine, not Israel.

—❗️🇮🇷/🇻🇪 Venezuelan opposition leader & nobel peace prize winner, Maria Machado:
'Iran has turned Venezuela into a satellite state. The 'National Guard' (she means IRGC) is training Venezuelan forces and providing them with armed drones. They've used the Venezuelan financial system to launder money and fund terrorism.
To groups like Hezbollah and others, they've issued over 10,000 passports to freely move around the world. All of this is only 3 hours away from Florida.'

—❗️🇮🇷/☢️ Iranian MP, Dr. Amirhossein Sabeti, in an interview with MES:
'If a vote to leave the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) is held in the parliament, 90% of MPs will vote in favor, myself included.
Leaving the NPT will result in a permanent state of ambiguity regarding Iran's nuclear program, and the fate of this ambiguity depends on whether Israel decides to continue its miscalculations against Iran.'

@Middle_East_Spectator
— ❗️🇮🇱/🇺🇸/🇵🇸 NEW: Drop Site News reports that, according to White House sources, two Israeli soldiers were killed by unexploded ordnance, not by Palestinian factions
