Der heutige Generalsekretär der #FDP, Djir Sarai, wurde 1987 ohne Deutschkenntnisse von seinen Eltern aus wirtschaftlichen Gründen, und um Armee zu entgehen, vom #Iran zu Verwandten in NRW geschleust.
Heute spricht sich #Sarai gegen Aufnahme von weiteren Geflüchteten aus.

The turmoil in the Middle East has led to many speculations about the extent to which Russia and Iran are coordinating their actions. So I decided to make a video about the relationship between #Russia, #China, and #Iran.
This time I am linking to a post on my new Ghost site. Some people have requested that I post transcripts of my videos, which seemed like a good idea. So if you prefer to "read" my videos instead of watching them, you can sign up for the newsletter. https://www.logicofwar.com/is-there-an-alliance-between-russia-china-and-iran/
Avis aux intéressé.e.s : le Barreau de Nantes organise une conférence ouverte à tous et gratuite le 24 janvier (Journée Internationale de l'avocat en danger).
On a la chance d'avoir Me Ghasem BOEDI, avocat iranien emprisonné pour avoir défendu des manifestant.e.s du mouvement #FemmeVieLiberté ;
Et M. Thierry COVILLE, professeur d'économie et chercheur à l'Institut de relations internationales et stratégiques (IRIS), spécialiste de l'#Iran depuis 20 ans.
Israel - created by the British, breaking promises to the Palestinians - the Balfour Declaration - the Balfour Betrayal. The west has since provided cover for its 75 years of apartheid, violent oppression, murder of journalists, cultural and environmental vandalism, and now - genocide.
#Iran - its revolution was as a direct result of Western interference, overthrow of their leader, and support for a brutal dictator and western stooge, the Shah.
Ein paar Worte zur aktuellen Verfolgung von Frauen in #Iran, die sich der Kopftuchpflicht widersetzen. Besonders interessant für Medienvertreter*innen 🧵
Im Spätherbst behaupteten dt Medien, im Parlament der Islamischen Republik würden Reformen zur Lockerung der Hijabpflicht diskutiert werden. Im Dezember hieß es dann, die Sittenpolizei sei abgeschafft worden. Beide Male stützten sich Redaktionen auf Meldungen der IR. Schauen wir uns mal an, wie die Verfolgung von Frauen seitdem aussieht. 1/
#Twitter removes labels describing international media organizations as government-funded or state-affiliated, including those under authoritarian control in #China, #Iran and #Russia.
The arms discovered by the SEALs were the same type of weapons that the Yemeni rebels have used to attack international shipping in the Red Sea, the U.S. military said Tuesday.
The only difference between #Ukraine and #Israel is that one is under attack by a terrorist organization and the other by a terrorist state, said Zelenskyy.
How many people even know that #Israel helped Azerbaijan commit genocide against the Armenian Christians of Nagorno-Karabakh just weeks before the October 7 attack by #Hamas?
The people of #Palestine / #Gaza are not the only victims of Israeli crimes. Israel literally has the blood of innocent Armenian Christians, Yemenis, Lebanese people, Kurds and Sahrawis on its hands.
#Iran is ironically the country that's protecting the Armenian Christians.
> Ukrainian friends who write that the border was breached by "bums in flip-flops": Hamas, as well as Islamic Jihad and especially Hezbollah are all allies or proxies of Iran. #Iran arms and sponsors these groups. Iran also prepares them. The war is with Iran, not with the "bums". Saying that the war is only with some Hamas (or other groups) is like saying that Ukraine has been fighting only with the "LDNR" since 2014 - that the large Ukrainian army could not "cope" with some bums from the LDNR.
> Remember how angry you were all these years that the Russian factor was silenced in the international arena, how angry you were when they said that it was a "civil war" and Ukrainians were fighting some separatists and that was it, and Moscow had nothing to do with it.
> Iran's military potential is large, it is a formidable and serious enemy, surpassing us in many parameters - for example, in the size of the armed forces, the presence of all sorts of groups and militias, banal in terms of resources and population, in missile potential. The militants are armed with Iranian drones and missiles, among other things.
> Israel has been engaged in a limited war with Iran for many decades. Tehran's goal is the destruction of Israel. Now we can observe the escalation of this war. I once again urge my Ukrainian friends not to think that these are some spherical bum fighters in a vacuum.
