History won't be kind to the directors of this theatre, let alone to the Arabs who are eager to play a part in it.

Lake Urmia, once one of the largest hypersaline lakes of the world, is drying up as the result of increased upstream water consumption and diversions. Restoration efforts remain unsuccessful as droughts and climate change exacerbate the problem. #cop15zimbabwe #savewetlands
NEW: There's an intensifying battle inside Iran for the soul and direction of the country. The war with Israel may have sparked rally-around-the-flag effect, but the political establishment remains torn with Pezeshkian caught in middle. Great overview: amwaj.media/en/media-monit…
A deliberate, engineered, and entirely preventable famine is killing Palestinians in #Gaza. Every day the world does not act, more people simply collapse and die. This is unacceptable! Read Femena's Statement. femena.net/2025/07/25/the… #Palestine #GazaStarving
NEW: Prior to the war with Israel, the Pezeshkian govt was planning a politically risky surge in gasoline prices and changes to monthly cash subsidies. @BijanKK explains how the war last month has led the Iranian govt to adapt, but not halt reforms: amwaj.media/en/article/why…

My latest piece on @amwajmedia "In the economic field, short-term measures have already been initiated, but medium- to long-term reforms will be more crucial to achieve economic reconstruction." amwaj.media/en/article/why…
NEW: 🇮🇷 #Iran’s war with #Israel sparked rare unity as society set aside anger to face a common threat. Can post-war economic policy turn that moment into lasting economic reform? @BijanKK for @amwajmedia👇 amwaj.media/en/article/why…
Tufts PhD student’s harrowing account of how ICE arrested her. Even Iran’s Revolutionary Guards didn’t snatch me like that. This shouldn’t happen in America. vanityfair.com/news/story/rum…
CBS cites US intelligence sources as confirming Israeli strike on meeting of Iran's Supreme National Council last month. President Pezeshkian was injured during escape. @amwajmedia has some details in quoted thread below: cbsnews.com/news/irans-pre…
New details on Israel's reported attack on meeting of Iran's highest decision-making council last month. Iranian media say strike happened in morning. But senior political insider reveals to @amwajmedia it was in PM and not all council members attended.. amwaj.media/en/media-monit…
The endless killings, including now at the Holy Family Parish Church in Gaza, the recent events in Taybeh, and problems created for Christians in accessing holy sites in Jerusalem, make clear the Israeli Govt intent to rid the Holy Land of the Palestinian Christian presence.
Writing this in Persian (Farsi) isn't going to make Iranians admire the sentiment. Bombing and killing Mahsa's fellow Iranians in her name is hardly the way to win hearts and minds. Can't think why anyone would think it is. Given the overwhelming majority of Iranians' (inside…
یک منبع تصاویری در اختیارم گذاشت که یک تکنسین پرواز زن اسرائیلی را نشان می‌دهد که بر روی یک مهمات استفاده‌شده در حمله هوایی علیه ایران، یادداشتی به یاد مهسا امینی نوشته است. پلیس «امنیت اخلاقی» ایران در سال ۲۰۲۲ مهسا امینی را به‌دلیل آنچه نقض قانون حجاب اعلام شد، به قتل رساند.

1,000 Iranians were killed over 12 days of Israeli bombings, including 300 civilians. In a single strike on a north Tehran apartment building, upwards of 60 residents reported dead. Most Iranians didn't use to have much of a direct reason to dislike Israel. Now they do.
A source provided me with photos showing a female Israeli flight technician who wrote a dedication to Mahsa Amini on a munition used in an airstrike against Iran. Iran's morality police murdered Amini in 2022 for allegedly violating the country's hijab laws.
NEW: Hackers say London-based Iran International’s systems breached and data on 71,000 contacts exracted. Iran's chief justice today said cases against alleged Israeli spies to be sped up. Iran-based contacts of diaspora media could be in bigger danger. amwaj.media/en/media-monit…
Iranian journalist reflects dominant thinking in Tehran: "Israel will not tolerate any powerful and independent army in the region. If Netanyahu can overcome the Iranian stronghold, he will proceed to neutralize the military power of each country in the region one by one."
این سوال مهمی است: آنچه اسرائیل می‌خواهد عقیم شدن تمامی کشورهای منطقه و هژمونی نظامی است. تل‌آویو می‌خواهد ارتش در سوریه که خواستگاهی مستحکم و ملی‌گرا دارد، تبدیل به یک پلیس ملی مانند ارتش لبنان شود یا نهایتاً مانند ارتش مصر و اردن عقیم و بی دندان. اسرائیل هیچ ارتش قدرتمند…
The merger of nationalistic and Shiite themes is an important phenomenon and will shape #Iran's future sociopolitical development. Deep Dive: In shadow of Israeli assault, ‘neo-nationalism’ surges in Iran amwaj.media/en/article/dee… via @amwajmedia
