“How War Changed Iran’s National Consciousnes”

@iran
“The reality emerging inside the country today is not one of ideological uniformity. Iran remains socially diverse, politically contested and culturally dynamic. But the war appears to have accelerated the emergence of a broader national consensus around one central idea: that Iran’s future should be determined internally rather than imposed externally”

@palestine@lemmy.ml
@iran
“With a wealth of evidence and accusations indicating that Israel has been implicated in the systematic harvesting of organs during its genocide, it begs the question as to why no independent international investigation has yet been opened.
As in the early 1990s, Palestinian evidence is again being buried beneath western political protection, fear of Israel lobby retaliation, and the standing presumption that Israeli institutions can investigate themselves”

“Hormuz: The beginning of the end of dominance”
By Mohammad Ibrahim in Al Mayadeen English
@palestine@fedibird.com
@Palestine@masto.ai
@palestine@lemmy.ml
@iran
“The clearest lesson from history remains constant: decline does not begin with defeat, but with a moment of doubt. In that moment, power does not collapse immediately, but begins to shift from a source of confidence to a subject of question. Hence, the Strait of Hormuz may become a pivotal point in reshaping the international system, where the decisive factor is no longer who is strongest, but who is perceived as likely to remain so”

Not a Westerner 🇮🇩 | she/her 🇵🇸🇸🇩🇨🇩 | 30++++++++++++++ teenage cryptid gal™. The ancient horror your village elders warned you about. 📌 Intro: https://kolektiva.social/@wrzky/116362344939423095 I build mutual aid and political education spaces. Rebuilding the system here. Feel free to tag me in your mutual aid requests for a boost. I can’t always provide financial support, but I can help with amplification. 🙌🏻 Jin, Jîyan, Azadî. 
🚨STILL UNACHIEVED‼️ https://ko-fi.com/wrzky/goal
kolektiva.social
UPDATE 11-May-2026 10:55 UTC+7.
353/560 — 207 left to reach the goal for May, in less than 5 days.
Monthly pledges help ease the instability that comes with disability and having no fixed income or healthcare, though one-off support also helps immensely.
Small contributions add up toward the essentials that keep me afloat: food, bills, and internet access.
If direct support isn’t possible, please consider amplifying this post.
This support helps me stay connected, survive, and continue participating in mutual aid and political work that reaches beyond borders.
Thank you, thank you

“The mortar of the mosaic”
by Nora Hoppe in Al Mayadeen English
@palestine@fedibird.com
@Palestine@masto.ai
@palestine@lemmy.ml
@iran
“An extraordinary mosaic is taking shape in Iran. A mosaic that takes on many different forms thanks to a mysterious mortar…”
[..]
“What matters here is not only military effectiveness but a valuable political side effect: by conferring responsibility to local commands, the state’s power sits closer to the people. Citizens become more active participants in national defence. And when people are more active in their country’s decisions, the state is stronger, the people more informed, and society more unified. That is a lesson worth attending to. That is, in fact, true democracy!”
