>Iranian state media have shown images and video of damage to the Farabi Hospital in the city of Kermanshah. Iran’s state news agency IRNA reported that the deputy governor of Kermanshah, Bahram Sulaimani, said an Israeli missile hit the critical unit of the hospital. Earlier, a government spokeswoman, Fatemeh Mohajerani, said Israel had attacked the hospital, which she said undercut Israel’s claims that it “did not target ordinary people.” An Israeli military spokeswoman said the military was not aware of such an incident.
>The videos and images posted on social media by Mehr News, a news agency affiliated with the Iranian government, showed signs of damage inside the hospital. The footage, reviewed by The New York Times, showed light panels and wires hanging from the ceilings around multiple areas, and parts of the ceiling that had collapsed. Shards of glass and a bloodstain could be seen on the floor.

>>2330811Secular humanism is reactionary. Marxism was anti-humanist. Look, saying the state of a society is caused by a vague monolithic "religious mentality" (everywhere the same) instead of actual material conditions is the opposite of good Marxist analysis. Its also pretty clear that al-Azm didn't have a deep grasp on religious theology, mysticism etc. and his book is mostly bullshitting and overgeneralizing. The whole "these people are backward because of their culture and religion" is just colonialist propaganda repackaged by condescending pseuds like al-Azm.
>>2330828al-Azm's basic idea is that "the Arab mind" is held back by religion and failed to develop Western style secular humanism. To develop and progress, Arabs need to abandon this Arab mentality. If this sounds familiar, its because its exactly what British and French colonizers were saying in the 20s and 30s. In MENA, you have a whole section of the middle class who genuinely believe the problem is Islam/Arab culture and that a vague sense of Western ideas need to be imported wholesale. Its very similar to how caudillos in Latin America used to think. Its not Marxist at all. This is a very common theme on the Middle Eastern left and its why the left in MENA is dead. Because, ironically, leftist intellectuals became a Islam-hating liberal elite who despise the working class and often defend dictators like el-Sisi.
There's an intellectual poverty to it too. Secular liberal ideas are presented without criticism (even the standard Marxist criticisms), there's no attempt at material analysis, no real critique of concepts. Al-Azm's whole book is just a bunch of strawman arguments where he 'critiques' (more vulgar criticism) a bunch of crude stereotypes.
Is it any wonder why the MENA left has been a total failure? They hate the people they want to liberate. They hate the culture. They hate the religion. They defend scum like Sisi. There is nothing appealing about them. Then people go look at Hamas and their liberation theology, and it resonates more with them. MENA leftists failed because of MENA leftists. They can blame Islam or the CIA or the postmodernists all they like. They made themselves irrelevant.
>>2330863truly a fucked up case where the anti-imperialists are religious reactionaries and the glowies are the secular progressives

>>2330927We see time and time again that America's designated "axis of evil" (Iran, Russia, China, DPRK) is more humane that the west by a long shit. It was established in the previous thread, deleted by mods, that Iran is warning Israel before even launching their missiles at Israeli military infrastructury, so Israel can evacuate their civilians, who they use as hostages anyway by designing their cities in such a way as to integrate military and civilian life as much as possible. Just like Russia provides green corridors to Ukrainian civilians while NATO-backed Ukrainians hide their artillery in schools and hospitals. Just like NATO bombed embassies and Communist party headquarters and TV stations in Yugoslavia. Just like America did a "shock and awe" campaign that destroyed critical infrastructure in Iraq on day 1 of the Iraq war. Just like US-backed Saudis created the largest cholera epidemic in modern history in Yemen by bombing sanitation facilities.
The "enemies of the West" are held to much higher standards than the West, and even when they exceed those standards the west claims they are not humane enough unless they lay down and take it.

In September 2024, on the second anniversary of the death of Amini, Iran's president Masoud Pezeshkian said that morality police will no longer "bother" women over the wearing of the hijab.[7][8]
>>2331020I DONT UNDERSTAND why you morons always juxtapose hijab and bikini in playboy mag.
Like there are other options, you know?
And to be fair, there is no obligation for a woman to wear skimpy clothing. If she doesn't want to, she just does not wear it.
That choice is not there for forced hijab. You HAVE to cover up.
>>2331035>Like there are other options, you know?Yeah I know. the west cheered when that other option was chopped up and privatized. the communist woman is the true liberated woman and overcomes the false dichotomy between the woman enslaved by the theocrats and the woman enslaved by the bourgeoisie.
>I DONT UNDERSTAND why you morons always juxtapose hijab and bikini in playboy mag. I am addressing the false dichotomy set up by the west itself. they claim they are liberating muslim women from theocracy but we see in practice that western "liberation" comes with the kind of Yeltsinite privatization, austerity, deregulation, union busting, asset selloffs, and foreign direct investment that results in women with phDs turning to prostitution
>And to be fair, there is no obligation for a woman to wear skimpy clothing. If she doesn't want to, she just does not wear it. Capitalism obligates the worker to sell their body. The way they sell their body is up to them. They can sell their muscle and bones to a factory or they can sell their dignity on the street. "Work for porky or starve" is not a real choice and you know it.
>That choice is not there for forced hijab. You HAVE to cover up.We already told you the Iranians don't force women to do that as of Sep 2024 and even if they did the West doesn't really care about liberating women from theocracy. It's a false pretense. that's the point that keeps sailing over your head!

make no mistake, in a conventional war Iran will most likely win. They have way more equipment. But if Iran invades Israel, America will send its reserves or send them shit tons of equipment like they did in the Yom Kippur war.
>>2331098General Vahidi, Advisor to the IRGC Commander-in-Chief:
'We are ready for a long and full-scale war. We have considered all possibilities and have prepared ourselves for any conditions.The alleged reduction in our missile stocks is a joke — we have not yet made sufficient use of our missile capabilities strategically; whenever we see fit, we will bring our modern equipment into the field, of which new-generation missiles are only a part.
We have no worries about the war prolonging, and in the coming days, the world will see what innovations Iran will bring to the field.
Day by day, the conditions on the battlefield will improve in all aspects of the war, and we may also use our other capabilities.
Our hands are ready to make the Zionist regime regret itself, and in the near future, everyone will see what capabilities and power the Iranian armed forces have in various fields.'

>I'm sorry what do you call yourself?<Puerto Rican.>Yes, I know you can say that, but what do I call you? >Former Israeli PM Ehud Barak, per BBC
Israel’s former prime minister, Ehud Barak, was involved in some of Israel’s earliest planning to counter a nuclear threat from Iran.
He said the first few days of this operation were “extremely impressive” – the result of far-sighted planning, very detailed preparation and a determined, aggressive execution.
But removing the nuclear threat would still be very difficult, he told me, because Iran was already a nuclear threshold state.
“Israel cannot delay their capability by more than two or three weeks, and even the Americans cannot delay it for more than a few months, and that’s a sensitive issue,” he said. “It means that, if there is a serious intention to block Iran from turning into a military nuclear power, the only way is to announce a full-scale war on the regime itself, an carry it on until they are toppled.”
Israel, he says, cannot do this alone.
“The only way to execute it successfully is by coordinating intimately with America and having them fully, actively on your side.”
The US, in his view, does not currently have an appetite to enter into a major war.
“The best scenario is that the regime will collapse,” he says. “Second best, that the Iranians will turn into a softer negotiator. Let’s hope it works.”
Otherwise, he says, the current conflict will turn into a long war of attrition, with Israel’s allies helping to defend it, but not actively involved in the war.
The worst case of all, he says, is that Iran will say it is left with no choice but to “go as fast as it can towards a nuclear weapon”.

>>2331066>Israel got roflstomped in Lebanon. Their ELITE brigade couldn't move past border. Israel's ground troops are a fucking joke, Lebanon can probably conquer whole of Israel pretty easily, if they have protection from aircraftYou're on drugs. Israel invaded Lebanon once before and blew the shit out of Beirut with artillery, and that was during a time in which parts of the country were occupied by the Syrian army. Hezbollah took a massive hammering and the Lebanese state is currently making use of the opportunity to dismantle the whole organization. At the end of May, the Lebanese military believed it had disarmed 90% of Hezbollah, and has taken control of all of their important strongholds in the south.
The reason Israel is doing this right now is that there really truly isn't anything that anyone is going to do to stop them.
That being said, this talk from Israel about overthrowing the Islamic Republic of Iran is madness. I don't know how anyone can reasonably expect that to happen with bombing from the air. It would take a ground invasion and I don't think the U.S. has the will to do that.
I don't know if anyone has looked at a map, but Israel and Iran can't invade each other because they're far removed, so they launch air strikes and launch missiles at each other. You could conceivably get some Israeli commando / Mossad raids in Iran (which sounds like they've been happening), and Iran could strike at Israeli assets in other countries.
>>2331142>Iranian officials slammed the attack, with the Foreign Ministry saying it was a “wicked act of war crimes” aimed at silencing the “truth”.Whining doesn't work. It's always better to be whined about than doing the whining yourself.
>PM Netanyahu refused to rule out the possibility of targeting Iran’s Supreme Leader, saying: “It’s not going to escalate the conflict. It’s going to end the conflict.”They're going for it because Iran is feckless and isn't returning the decap strikes. It's still debating targeting Dimona while Israel has no such compunctions.

The commander of this unit, Colonel (now Brigadier General) George S. Patton III, carried around a skull at his farewell party.

Two eye sockets are filled with red candle wax, as though the skull had been used to light up a soldier's lonely night decades ago.>Second is their story. Unlike the thousands of other human specimens kept at the Defense Department's National Museum of Health and Medicine, staff anthropologists said, the skulls had been confiscated from U.S. soldiers who were trying to bring them home as macabre souvenirs from Vietnam in the 1970s.>"These are an anomaly at the museum," said Paul Stone of the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology, of which the museum is a part. Both are on the Walter Reed campus. >>2331163Israelis are returning north. The war is effectively over and opened up a huge amount of space for the anti-Hezbollah parties in Lebanon to move in. Hezbollah flags have disappeared from large swaths of Lebanon, they've lost control of Beirut's airport, and there are normal Lebanese army units south of the Litani, which has been purely Hezbollah territory (besides totally ineffectual UNIFIL bases) for 20 years.
Time will tell of course, but Hezbollah as a militia is at by far its weakest point since the occupation of Lebanon ended in 2005. It appears to be on track to being a normal political party, like the IRA became Sinn Fein in Ireland, but who knows. Check back in three or five years.
>>2330908>The United States is way more religious than Europeand yet completely secular. As you seem retarded, heres a hint : secularism doesnt mean religion has no power in society and culture and even through its institution, it means it has no power on the state, its the clear separation of religious shit from civil affairs.
You dont need state atheism, but state secularism is definitely a big help to conducting rational policies and modernizing a country. There are plenty of other historical and practical reasons for "backwardness", but denying the part of religion in it (something the west ironically very much encouraged for its imperialist interest at first) is deluded.
>>2331184Russia has the largest and most advanced arsenal in the world, but it doesn't matter when you have liberal leaders with a humiliation fetish toward the West.

>>2331195The goal is the Great Satan. Great Satan desperately wants to monopolize oil market and be the only stable seller, with high prices too, and "cuckoldry" is explained entirely by fighting against US instead of their pawns
Look at China, they do this kind of fight masterfully. USA can't even sanction China without American economy screaming in pain
Iran's de-escalation attempts are similar - it's to deal damage to American interests, and with that, cause real damage to Israel
>>2331205They act too liberal and restrained. If they acted more aggressive like North Korea, US would cuck out. They need to come out and say they have nukes ready to go and will launch any moment now.
But they keep dragging on the emrichment scam to play push and pull with economic sanctions. They should just give up on that already and go all in

Images of Iran’s nuclear sites before and after Israeli attacksSatellite imagery released by Maxar has revealed significant damage to multiple Iranian facilities from Israeli air strikes.
While Israeli officials have repeatedly said the aim of the attacks is to deter Iran’s alleged nuclear weapons ambitions, Iran denies this, saying its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes.
The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) said on Monday that no further damage has been reported to Iran’s main nuclear facilities since the first strikes on Friday.

Haifa Port: From an Economic Artery to a Soft Underbelly for Israel
As part of Operation True Promise 3, launched by Iran in response to the Israeli aggression, Iranian strikes targeted one of the most sensitive and vital facilities within the entity: the Haifa Refinery , located within the Bazan Industrial Complex, which also houses major petrochemical plants and is considered one of the largest energy and heavy industry complexes in Israel, with a daily production capacity of approximately 200,000 barrels.
<The biggest refinery… and the weakest flank
The Haifa Refinery is Israel's primary energy supply, with an annual refining capacity of 10 million tons. Established in 1939 during the British Mandate, the facility provides, according to Israeli estimates, approximately 60 to 70% of the fuel used in vital sectors within the entity, from industry and agriculture to civilian and military transportation.
It is estimated that 55% of the refinery's total sales go to the domestic market, including gasoline, diesel fuel, jet fuel, and industrial gas. It is also a primary source of fuel and chemicals used in the Israeli military industries for the Israeli army, as well as a hub for crude oil storage and import terminals, which sometimes arrive from Iraqi Kurdistan or Azerbaijan via the Mediterranean Sea.
Observers also note that this type of attack places additional pressure on the home front, particularly in the north, where the Haifa refinery represents an economic and moral pillar, not only in the balance of power but also in the equations of psychological and political deterrence.
While the Israeli military censorship imposed a blackout on the results of the strike, the Israel Oil Refineries Company announced that it was "assessing the damage" to secondary facilities and "reviewing the timeline" for resuming operations of some damaged lines. In a swift reversal, the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange recorded a 2.8% drop in the company's shares following the strikes.
This targeting, which was not the first of its kind, preceded by a similar bombing attributed to Iraqi resistance factions in January 2024, once again highlights what can be called Haifa's "soft underbelly" and the fragility of strategic facilities when they are transformed from sources of power into open targets.
<Israeli fears of a "disaster" in Haifa port
Fears are mounting within Israel over a scenario long warned of by environmental and industrial security experts: the "Haifa Port disaster." This port, which for decades has been one of the most important pillars of the Israeli economy and a center for heavy petrochemicals, still contains large quantities of flammable and explosive materials, including the remains of ammonia tanks, part of which were previously emptied under pressure from the street in 2017, without their risks being fully eliminated. In the event of a precise strike, it could result in a chemical leak or a massive fire that could overwhelm the Civil Defense's ability to contain it.
Haifa has long been the lung of Israel's industry and foreign trade, but in the context of the escalating confrontation with Iran, it could become a fatal vulnerability. Missile strikes, if they target the refinery or port, would not only cause material losses but could also pose a potential environmental and health catastrophe no less dangerous than the bombing itself.
In the same vein, Israeli concerns escalated during the first months of Operation Protective Edge, when Hezbollah began carrying out field support operations for the resistance in Gaza, targeting bases and barracks in northern occupied Palestine. The port of Haifa topped these fears, as Israel's main maritime gateway and a commercial hub connecting global markets, placing it in the crosshairs of any multi-front escalation.
These concerns prompted the Israeli government to develop an emergency plan to activate alternative external ports, in anticipation of a disruption of an estimated 70% of maritime shipping traffic to Israel. This is particularly true in light of the growing threat posed by the naval blockade declared by Yemeni forces in the Red Sea, which has prevented ships from crossing to Israeli ports.
<A double threat to the Israeli economy and security
The port of Haifa is not only a pillar of the Israeli maritime economy, but also holds a high position on the Israeli national security scale. To the east of the port is the Polonium naval base, one of the most sensitive facilities. It houses Dolphin-class submarines, designed to carry missiles armed with nuclear warheads. Warships are manufactured and inspected at this same site, making the port a vital link in the Israeli military system.
But the importance extends beyond military geography. In light of recent geopolitical shifts, the port of Haifa has become a key node in the US-led trade corridor project, linking India to Europe via the Middle East (IMEC). According to the US plan, ships are supposed to depart from the Gulf via Saudi Arabia and the UAE, passing through Jordan, arriving in occupied Palestine, and from there to Europe via the port of Haifa. This represents an American attempt to compete with China's Belt and Road Initiative.
Hence, any direct or indirect targeting of Haifa carries implications that go beyond the immediate military dimension. Strikes against this port would not only hit naval facilities, but would also undermine major strategic stakes and confuse American calculations in the region, not to mention the enormous economic losses Israel would incur as a result of the disruption of one of its most important ports.
Daily processing capacity at Haifa Refinery 197,000 barrels per day
Annual processing capacity of Haifa Refinery10 million tons of crude oil
Refinery Utilization Rate (2023-2024) About 90%
Main products of the refinery Gasoline, naphtha, kerosene, fuel oil, raw materials
Potential paralysis and multidimensional effects
Given this pivotal role, any direct targeting or disruption of the refinery, even partial, would paralyze Israel's energy system, according to Israeli media reports, with repercussions extending to the transportation, aviation, and industrial production sectors, as well as the associated chemical industries.
>>2331392Yes and no.
You see, Wahabism splintered after the Americans supplied the Saudis with lots of money, they wanted to create a global Caliphate across the arab world. So the Saudi royals machine gunned them. But essentially, the Saudi regime and by extension the US promoted Wahabist schools (which were more radical and could not be controlled by the Saudi monarchy) being build across the Middle East, including Afghanistan where the Taliban was established.

>>2331409>There is no evidence whatsoever of any intention to wipe out the civilian population of Donbas.https://eventsinukraine.substack.com/p/donbass-is-a-cancerous-tumor-howhttps://eventsinukraine.substack.com/p/deport-disenfranchise-send-to-concentrationhttps://eventsinukraine.substack.com/p/part-2-ukrainian-euroatlantic-liberalsmerely intention to bomb to submission and disenfranchise millions of people for speaking the wrong language and not sharing "european values", but then again Israel doesn't officially say that it wants to kill all palestinians either, just that it wants to end terrorism or some shit
c'mon, you would be calling it genocide if it happened literally anywhere else
>>2330965Speaking of 4chan.
The mods were paid by mossad to delete the anti-israel happening thread.
>>2331339>>2331345I've said it before and I'll say it again: Nazism and Zionism are perfectly compatible not only because the German Nazis of the 1930s deported Jews to Palestine where it was supposed that they "belonged" and not only because antisemitism provided the zionists with a rhetorical justification which they used for their settler-colonial project, but because both are ethnonationalist, reactionary, racist, and ultimately suicidal ideologies for deranged people.
Best friends 4 ever!
>>2331506nobody cares at this point
Jizzrael will be here long after we're all gone
im not happy about it, but tis wat titis
The MENA folks can keep Allahu akbaring, I doubt that helps, Allah clearly favours the Zionists
(USER WAS BANNED FOR THIS POST) >>2331517completely meaningless you absolute cretin
history doesn't repeat, the balance of power dictates events
>>2331519Where is this confidence that America can just willingly regime change any country they want on the fly coming from?
The balance of power is probably the worst its ever been for the US since the end of WW2. The US military's ability to project power overseas is dependent on supply lines even in the modern era, and with America's economy in the state it's currently in I really don't feel confident claiming American supremacy as an inevitability. Shit could go south really fast if the initial strikes fail to achieve their objectives.
>>2331516>>2331510notice how the same people telling me that no, zionists and nazis aren't the same (because they think nazis are good) are the same people attacking palestinians and iranians as a bunch of backwards extremists, which actually proves my point.
>>2331514you don't care. but you're not everybody. and good thing you never will be.
>>2331556>ZOG is realuh not really
israel depends on america, not the other way around
>>2331597/pol/tards just resent Israel for saying and doing shit they can only dream of. They seethe with envy.
Imagine giving black people Depo Provera without their knowledge or consent, as government policy.
>>2331601ZOG comes from 1970s neo nazis in the united states. I got no end of shit for pointing this out because certain anons think it's a very important shorthand and that they need to be able to say it to get the zionist lobby across.
other anons such as
>>2331510 and
>>2331514 pretend to be annoyed by my incessant explanations on this matter but curiously they never get on the case of the people making those explanations necessary. I would never even bother to draw a distinction between the ZOG neonazi dogwhistle and actual left-antizionism if there weren't /pol/cels using the war as an opportunity to "redpill normies against judeobolshevism"
>>2331612No, but I wouldn't be surprised if half of Zog posters were Mossad or IDF psywar bots.
Either case, thread full, someone remake, preferably with Zionist overtones.
>>2331525Read carefully:
>unless Iran attacks US personnel.Translation: false flag incoming.
>>2331437> if there is a war, sure, there won't be a draftbut the average US citizen will feel it, because this war will effect gas and oil prices dramatically. And since China doesn't buy up your debts any more, it will affect everyone. The war will not be something far away it will be the make or break moment for the US economy.
Y’all think they’ll try to pull the
>shop here to fight the terrorist there! Every credit swipe buys a bullet for a terrorist.Type of propaganda they did in the dirty aughts? Pretty funny if they did.
