“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”

“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”

New #zine alert ‼️ Inspired by @stefan@stefanbohacek.online’s zine about the #Fediverse. I’ve noticed that so many #artists only use #Instagram despite worries about how their #data and #artwork might be used without their consent. Maybe this can convince someone to try the Fediverse. #datasovereignty #MastoArt #socialmedia

“The mortar of the mosaic”

@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!”

澎湃新闻消息，印度尼西亚政府官员6日说，正在考虑对16岁以下人群实施“网购禁令”，以避免未成年人在网购平台遭遇诈骗。
印尼通信和数字事务部长默蒂娅·哈菲兹当天接受法新社采访时作出这一表态。她表示，印尼出台针对16岁以下人群的社交媒体禁令后，接下来将把禁令扩展至购物网站。“电子商务平台将是下一个，因为我们发现有孩子在网购时成为诈骗案受害者。”不过，她没有说明“网购禁令”的详细方案。
今年3月28日，印尼正式实施针对16岁以下人群的“社媒禁令”，成为东南亚地区首个效仿澳大利亚、禁止青少年在优兔等社交媒体平台开设账户的国家。印尼政府表示，这项禁令覆盖印尼约7000万名青少年和儿童，以防他们受到网络色情、网络霸凌、网络诈骗和网络成瘾等问题侵害。
现阶段，印尼“社媒禁令”主要针对8个“高风险”网络平台。按默蒂娅·哈菲兹的说法，这类禁令“最终将应用于所有数字平台”。

“The Surcharge Tax Americans Pay to Finance Israel-first Wars”
by Jamie Kanj in Palestine Chronicle

@Palestine@masto.ai
@palestine@lemmy.ml
@iran
“Since early March 2026, the average American household has been spending 50 percent more to fill their tank than just one month earlier. The Trump administration and its Israel-first ideologues blamed market forces for the spike, framing it as short-term pain for long-term gain. What they will not say, what they are never permitted to say in Washington, is that Americans have been living the ‘pain’ of the Israeli oil surcharge tax for more than half a century. The bill keeps growing, but no longer only financially. The US is also paying with something harder to rebuild than a budget, its moral standing in the world”
