I want to be very clear that *anyone* in positions of leadership that was fucking around with "Iran is bad though" has a direct culpability for what the US & Israel are doing now. They provided cover, particularly in the west by refusing to show solidarity against US aggression

If Iran really did have nukes, none of this would be happening.

Albanese’s backing of Israeli and US attacks on Iran shows that we are completely devoid of acting independently from Trump and Netanyahu. There was a time when Labor pursued peace not war. That time is long gone. Leadership needed not sycophantic capitulation to militarism.

“That’s Israel’s talking points. Not the United States.” 💯

Lapdog

The Omani FM had a deal in hand, with unprecedented concessions from Iran He put it all on the line for peace and diplomacy, but was burned by demonic forces who lust for blood

It's official. Europe's leaders have crossed the thin red line into criminal insanity. "France, Germany and the UK condemn Iranian attacks" theguardian.com/world/2026/feb…

Inverting reality. The US has waged war against Iran ever since they had the audacity to reject the US-imposed dictator.

We are the dumbest country my God

Nailed it

Remember to spot the implicit assumptions: - Israel [and only Israel] has the right to defend itself - Israel has the right to exist [as an apartheid state] - Iran must never have nukes [but the US and Israel can] - Iran's missiles are a threat to us [but not ours to them]

“Why on earth would Israel bomb a school intentionally?” is the question of our era, and I am glad you are curious.

Orwellian doesn’t do this justice

We bombed Khamenei and Iran, not the other way around. Iran told the Omani mediators yesterday that they accepted the US demands. Like I said, Orwellian doesn’t do this kind of GOP rhetoric justice.

A mediocre man who shrinks with every craven capitulation to his imperial overlord

Israel bombed 97% of all the schools in Gaza, so we can be pretty sure the Iranian school attacks were no accident.

The killing of dozens of girls at a primary school in Iran is not on the front page of a single British newspaper. A simple test - imagine the reaction if they were Israelis. aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/28…

I feel like Luxon might genuinely not realise when he's not answering a question. 5 or 6 times on RNZ, he was asked whether NZ supports the attacks on Iran and kept saying how bad the Iranian regime is but not saying whether NZ supports the attacks.

Luxon doesn’t seem to understand that you can both abhor the current regime in Iran and at the same time condemn actions that are a breach of international law. For him the ends justify the means. Law of the JUNGLE!

Another tweet that aged so well.
