.3/ This is only in #Ahwaz, southwest of #Iran & the first leg of #Solaimani’s funeral procession. I can’t even begin to imagine what it would be like once they arrive to the capital #Tehran.
.4/ Even in his death #Soleimani’s popularity drew far more in numbers than @realDonaldTrump managed alive during his inauguration.
Close up, clearer scenes from #Soleimani’s funeral cortège in #Ahwaz (#Ahvaz) city.

.6/ In #MashHad meanwhile, a sea of humans poured into the streets to honour #Soleimani & his comrades funeral cortège.
#Iran
.7/ In what is turning out to be the largest ever funeral in the history of #Iran, probably since that of #AyatollahKhomeini, #Soleimani’s funeral cortège, now on its second leg of the journey, will also head to #Tehran, then #Qom & finally 2 his resting place & hometown #Kerman.
.8/ SIGNIFICANT:
#Iran pulls out of the nuclear deal, in effect ending its remaining commitments to the 2015 agreement, & in doing so delivering
the second blow to the #US today, following #Iraq ’s vote to ask #US forces to leave #Iraq.
.9/ Apparently not & these tweets further explain it...
Though it’s all but dead, #Iran has not pulled out of the nuclear deal.
.12/ BREAKING: #Solaimani’s funeral cortege arrives in #Tehran.

THIS IS HUGE:
Please read.

🧵1/ A leaked investigation reveals the IAEA, the UN’s supposed nuclear watchdog, was infiltrated by a veteran MI6 spy tasked with orchestrating sanctions and covert operations against Iran.
The agency’s “neutrality” is a myth.👇

2/ His name? Nicholas Langman, a British intelligence operative with a long record of dirty work.
He claims credit for helping engineer the West’s economic war on Iran & influencing the IAEA to justify sanctions and isolation.
3/ Iran has long accused the IAEA of colluding with Western & Israeli intelligence.
The result?
🔻 Leaked identities of Iranian nuclear scientists, many later assassinated.
🔻 Supplying intel that helped target Iran’s nuclear sites.
This leak confirms those fears weren’t paranoia; they were reality.

🔴🧵1/
The US just approved a $510 MILLION arms deal for Israel.
The package includes 7,000+ JDAM kits; the same bomb tech that’s been linked to mass civilian deaths in Gaza.
Here’s what that means 👇
#Gaza #USComplicity #Israel
2/ JDAMs - Joint Direct Attack Munitions - are kits that turn ordinary bombs into “precision-guided” weapons.
The deal includes:
💣 3,845 JDAM kits for 2,000-pound BLU-109 “bunker buster” bombs
💣 3,280 JDAM kits for 500-pound MK 82 bombs
Principal contractor: Boeing.
3/ These aren’t hypothetical weapons.
Fragments of JDAM-equipped bombs have already been found at Israeli airstrikes in Gaza ; strikes that killed dozens of civilians, including women & children.
In 2023, HRW documented at least 43 civilian deaths from such strikes.

NUCLEAR DEAL RECAP:
Obama brokered the Iran nuclear deal. Trump tore it up.
But in his second term, Trump reopened negotiations & Iran, despite everything, showed up.
Then came the Israeli strike, backed by Trump.
Now he’s demanding Iran return to talks?

You don’t bomb a country, kill & assassinate mid-negotiation & then expect a handshake.
#Iran #Trump #Hypocrisy
At the time of the strike, Iran was still cooperating with IAEA inspectors.
There was no verified nuclear weapons program & the so-called threat was manufactured, a pretext to derail diplomacy.

This was never about peace. It was about control & when that failed, chaos followed.
#JCPOA #IranNuclearDeal
Netanyahu feared that a deal between the US & Iran was within reach. So he sabotaged it with a preemptive strike.
Trump supported the attack, believing Iran would surrender under pressure.
Instead, he triggered a war.

Why should Iran trust another deal now?
The last time they negotiated in good faith, they were met with missiles.

IMPORTANT: 🧵The Nuclear Hypocrisy 🧵
1/ Everyone who is anyone, knows that Israel has an undeclared nuclear arsenal.
It has never signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), nor does it allow IAEA inspections.
Yet, it holds over 80 nuclear warheads, by most expert estimates.
2/ Meanwhile, & since 1992, it has told the world that Iran is “months away” from a nuclear bomb.
Every. Single. Year.
See the record below: 30+ years of fear-mongering, false predictions, & deliberate escalation. Image
3/ So let’s be clear:
This isn’t about non-proliferation. This is about preserving Israel’s nuclear monopoly in the region & using that monopoly to justify war, assassinations, sanctions, & pre-emptive strikes.

🎯 The Double Standard—Missiles & Civilians

1/ Israel accuses Hamas & Hezbollah of “hiding weapons among civilians.” In fact, it goes as far as calling that a war crime.
But let’s take a look at Tel Aviv tonight. 👇
2/ Israel’s Iron Dome, Arrow, & David’s Sling batteries are stationed right in the heart of cities. Oh yes, next to homes, schools & hospitals.
Why? Because it maximizes interception range. It’s tactical & it works.
3/ So here’s the question:
If missile systems in Gaza = “human shields”…
What does it mean when Israel itself does the same in Tel Aviv? 🤔

BREAKING: #Israel has launched Operation “Rising Lion”, a multi-site airstrike campaign deep inside #Iran. Netanyahu calls it a “targeted operation to remove the threat.” But the only threat Israel is removing is restraint.
Let’s be clear, this isn’t defense. It’s escalation.
1/🧵
2/ In his statement Netanyahu said:

“Operation ‘Rising Lion’ will continue for as many days as it takes to remove this threat.”
Let’s be further clear:
Iran posed no imminent threat to Israel. This wasn’t a defensive action, it was a long-planned provocation aimed at entrenching permanent conflict.
3/ CONTEXT : The name “Rising Lion” isn’t just branding, it’s narrative warfare.
-Lion = Persia’s mythic identity
- Lion = Judah, Zionist resurgence
- “Rising” = Israel reclaiming dominance
Even the name is a calculated propaganda blow & is meant to frame Israel’s action as both preventive & powerful, dressed in the language of righteous defense against a threat that’s gaining strength.

It’s also meant to:
- Inspire support domestically
- Frame the narrative internationally
- And psychologically signal to Iran & allies that this isn’t covert anymore, this is bold, mythic, & unapologetic.
