Words fail to describe what the zionist war criminals are doing to the Palestinians in Gaza. Genocide and starvations are the tools they are using to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians from their own land. The collective west as well as Arabian regimes are fully complicit in these crimes.
Yemen’s Ansrallah have knocked America’s front teeth and driven its much-touted aircraft carriers from the Red Sea. Meanwhile Yemeni missile strikes on the zionist colonial entity continue disrupting air traffic at Ben Gurion airport as well as blocking several of its ports.
It is becoming increasing clear that the indirect US-Iran talks will not yield any results because the Americans keep on making new demands. The most outrageous are that Iran must give up its right to enrich uranium and end its defensive missile program.
Hajj should be the natural time to discuss the plight of the Palestinian people and find a solution to zionist-perpetrated genocide. Instead, the illegal occupiers of the Haramyn, the Banu Saud, have reduced it to an empty ritual devoid of its original purpose.

Donald Trump’s transactional approach to diplomacy marks a clear departure from previous US foreign policy approaches. There was not even lip-serivce to democratic values and human rights that characterized previous US encounters with dictatorial regimes. It was all about money.
That the American deep state is unhappy with Trump is not in doubt. His crude methods are exposing their dirty works that used to be done with a smile. Trump is bulldozing his way and there is speculation that the establishment might bump him off.
The dystopian system in Pakistan is best illustrated by its recent contrived spat with India. Whatever it achieved was the result of Pakistan’s airforce pilots yet credit was hogged by the army chief general Asim Munir, elevating himself to the rank of ‘field marshal’.
The mercenary nature of Muslim soldiers in the British Indian army is exposed brilliantly by the late Colonel Ghaffar Mehdi in this article written in 1972. The mercenary nature continues to this day, and shamelessly proclaimed as if it is some kind of an honour.
Assessing the resilience of the Islamic system in Iran and understanding the various political currents that operate there. That it has withstood 46 years of relentless external pressures and propaganda reflect the Islamic system’s deep roots among the people in Iran.
