— 🇮🇷/🇱🇧/🇮🇱 Yesterday marked the 42nd anniversary of the first bombing of the IDF headquarters in Tyre, southern Lebanon, in 1982. Seventeen-year-old Hezbollah member Ahmad Qasir carried out a martyrdom operation using a vehicle packed with explosives, killing over 75 Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers and injuring dozens

After 38 years of military censorship, the IDF and Shin Bet finally acknowledged the attack in 2020, and they only officially admitted it last year.

This attack was commemorated by Hezbollah, which designated November 11 as 'Martyr's Day.' For decades, a street was named after Ahmad Qasir in Tehran.

— 🥰/🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇵🇸 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.

— 🇮🇷 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.'

'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.'

'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.'
