The Star Pleads! Won’t Someone Think Of The Khameneists!

… And despite the hundreds of thousands rallying in Toronto in recent weeks in support of Iranian anti-regime protests, many in the diasporas from the region say they are reluctant to show their support publicly. Some on the sidelines say they have been horrified by people thanking Trump and Netanyahu while waving American and Israeli flags.

It’s a scene that seems surreal to Reza Kasrai, an Iranian Canadian, who moved here in 1987 when he was in high school.

“Those two countries, specifically, have been the cause of so much suffering in that region, so to believe somehow that they’re going to be the salvation of Iran is delusional,” said Kasrai, who still has family in Tehran and Isfahan.

Canada’s Mark Carney tries to strike a balance on Iran

Prime Minister Mark Carney is facing criticism at home as he tries to strike a balance on the US-Israeli military action in Iran, as Canada scrambles to get its citizens out of the region and faces the risk of being dragged into a widening conflict.

Carney expressed strong support for the initial strikes when they launched a week ago, arguing for the value of preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon and its regime “from further threatening international peace and security”.

Days later, he said it was a position he took “with regret” because the strikes appeared “inconsistent with international law”.

Carney – Man of Jello!

Why Europeans dread standing up to the Mullahs

Iran missile hit Doha UAE

Europeans are terrified of fighting this war. Because they already have lost it at home.

Senator Lindsey Graham was very direct: “It’s pathetic. How far Western Europe has fallen. To our European allies: you have softened up pathetically and lost your enthusiasm for confronting evil, apparently unless it’s on your doorstep. What a shame.”

Graham is wrong: not even on our doorstep.

Countries like Spain were “reluctant partners” even in the coalition against ISIS, which filled our doorsteps with corpses.

Because, as Michel Houellebecq put it from Jerusalem, “we Westerners have lost the will to live and I fear that not even a war would awaken us.”

For America, the Iran war has been 50 years in the making

Donald Trump is of a generation still scarred by the embassy hostage crisis in 1979 that defined US-Iranian enmity. It was a humiliation he has never forgotten

At the height of the Iranian hostage crisis, with dozens of American citizens held captive inside the US embassy in Tehran, Donald Trump advocated a full-scale invasion of Iran and the seizure of its oil fields.

On October 8, 1980, the 34-year-old real estate developer was being interviewed on television by the New York gossip columnist Rona Barrett when he suddenly swivelled from discussing the decor of his newly built Trump Tower to address the continuing hostage crisis.

Radical Islamist students had stormed the US embassy almost a year earlier. The supreme leader Ayatollah Khomeini had refused to free the 52 hostages unless the ousted Shah was returned to Iran for trial.

How we knew Ayatollah was a sitting duck, by Trump’s top general

General Jack Keane reveals how US tech and undercover Israeli agents with perfect accents combined to mark Iran’s leadership for death

By the time the Ayatollah began his day in Tehran, the spies listening to his calls were already extremely familiar with the habits of a supreme leader whose number was up. In orbit overhead, an Orion, the largest and most secretive of all American space satellites, could detect the voices of the regime as they exchanged increasingly worried messages about the build up of forces in the region.

There were other high-tech efforts to track what is known as “life-pattern surveillance” of Ali Khamenei and his henchmen, including the now well-documented hacking of Tehran’s traffic camera network to track the movement of his bodyguards.

CBSA has removed only one of 30 senior Iranian officials from Canada under federal ban

Canadian border authorities have identified nearly 30 suspected senior Iranian officials who they believe should be barred from remaining in the country under a federal ban, amid a widening conflict in the Middle East that could see more regime officials seek refuge.

The Canada Border Services Agency has been investigating 95 cases involving possible high-ranking members of the Iranian regime, up from 66 last June, according to figures provided by the agency.

The Iran War has exposed the anti-imperialism of fools

One doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry at all the dweebs online saying, ‘I ain’t dying for Israel’. From the phrenologist virgins who follow Nick Fuentes to the cockless ‘communists’ of the post-class left, the cry goes out: ‘We won’t fight for that evil state.’ Guys, calm down. No one’s asking 5”4 fascists to fight for anything. Israel isn’t in need of an army of flabby genderfluids who can’t even read a JK Rowling tweet without needing a self-care day. You’re fine. Stand down.

If it hurts China then maybe it’s all good.

Has Iran executed its ‘impossible to kill’ Quds general for being a spy?

Reports say ‘man with nine lives’ who was always mysteriously absent when Israel carried out assassinations is dead

Speculation has been growing surrounding the fate of IRGC commander Esmail Qaani, with some unconfirmed reports alleging the general was executed by Iran for spying for Israel.

The reports circulating in Arab media that Qaani was arrested and possibly executed on suspicion of espionage have not been confirmed by Tehran.

According to the Emirati outlet The National, the claims remain unverified, but they have spread widely online amid speculation surrounding Qaani’s remarkable ability to survive a string of deadly attacks.

Russia is providing Iran intelligence to target U.S. forces, officials say

Russia is providing Iran with targeting information to attack American forces in the Middle East, the first indication that another major U.S. adversary is participating — even indirectly — in the war, according to three officials familiar with the intelligence.

The assistance, which has not been previously reported, signals that the rapidly expanding conflict now features one of America’s chief nuclear-armed competitors with exquisite intelligence capabilities.

Since the war began Saturday, Russia has passed Iran the locations of U.S. military assets, including warships and aircraft, said the three officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the matter’s sensitivity.

WARMINGTON: Toronto cops will watch weekend pro-ayatollah rally but so will Canadians

Toronto will get a better picture this weekend of just how much support there was for Iran’s fallen spiritual leader and how much opposition there really is for the war being prosecuted by Israel and America that eliminated him.

While some local mosques have martyred Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Saturday’s planned protest at the U.S. consulate in Toronto by those mourning his death will provide a bellwether of where Canadians stand on this conflict?


The folks who do al Quds Day usually draw a pretty good turnout in Toronto with their marches typically drawing several thousand Shia Muslims among others.

We have been betrayed by our elite as they should never have been allowed to settle in Canada to begin with.

‘We have been preparing’: Why the boots on the ground in Iran could be Kurdish

For a sixth day, the US and Israel are battering targets in Iran, waging war from the air. Could there soon be boots on the ground? Maybe. But not American ones.

Iranian Kurdish opposition groups in exile in northern Iraq have told the BBC they have plans to cross the border – and have had them for decades – but they flatly deny claims that their fighters have already done so.

“We have been preparing for this for the past 47 years, since the age of the Islamic Republic,” said Hana Yazdanpana, of the Kurdistan Freedom Party (PAK), which claims to have the biggest armed force.


I don’t think the IRGC or the army will want to be caught exposed above ground should the Kurds advance leaving the prospect of an ugly urban war fought in the rubble of Iran’s cities.
