Unlike April, #Iran appears to have launched ballistic missiles —dozens of them— at #Israel. These missiles began arriving in Israel within minutes. In April, missiles, drones, and rockets took up to hours to arrive in Israel.

#Iran appears to be bombing #Jerusalem — Jerusalem! Iran is apparently bombing the city for which the regime and its sponsored groups in the region claim to fight — the city central to three faiths in the region.

#Iran has put on its show, similar to April 2024, more potent using ballistic missiles, only launched from Iran. No proxies (yet). This means its a direct target, no plausible deniability. It is an escalation, as was April, but Netanyahu more receptive to challenge now. #Israel

“I have a message for the tyrants of Tehran: If you strike us, we will strike you. There is no place —there is no place in #Iran— that the long arm of Israel cannot reach. And that’s true of the entire Middle East.” — #Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu in UN speech last week

Israeli envoy to India claims "all of Iran's missiles" missed their target in Tuesday's attack. He revealed that Israel sent a message to Iran via India, urging it to abandon its plans. Will Israel retaliate by striking Iran's nuclear facilities? 🇮🇱 Reuven Azar speaks to @Palkisu.

When every meeting they hold ends up being bombed by #Israel, why are #Hezbollah folks even holding meetings now? Are they that dumb? nytimes.com/live/2024/10/0…

The kind of brainfreeze it took the Starmer government to cede Chagos Islands is just incomprehensible. Will you ever see Russian or Chinese regimes ceding their strategic islands? But then fewer things in the world are as self-defeating as the misplaced idealism of the Left.

In one of the best finales lately, the final two episodes salvaged the season so beautifully! #RingsOfPower took time to build, but the wait was worth it with the final two episodes — the heartbreak and then the glimmer of hope that builds epic heroism.

If #Syria is let in, then bringing in #NorthKorea should be the next logical step for #BRICS.

We don't look at #Iran as a colonial power. But it is a colonial power, 21st century style. It has colonised Lebanon, and runs a parallel government in that country. It has blackmailed Iraq into becoming a colony and has sliced half of Yemen for itself, by proxy.

A year after #Hamas attack, #Israel has been called an isolated nation as it fights in #Gaza and #Lebanon and prepares for direct face-off with #Iran. But is Israel really isolated or is it Iran that's cornered? I write how two sides fare a year later. firstpost.com/world/a-year-i…

It's funny how India's Left has copied the American far-right's election denialism playbook.

Even as #Israel scores military wins in #Gaza and #Lebanon, it hasn't made any political gains. There is no day-after plan for Gaza and there is no progress on #Palestine issue since '90s. I write if Israel has walked into a forever war with no strategy. firstpost.com/world/as-war-s…
