🚨🇮🇷 IRAN: DOCUMENTO SEGRETO, "POPOLO IN STATO DI RIVOLUZIONE". LA GRANDE PAURA DI KHAMENEI

🚨L'ANNUNCIO DI BIDEN: "LIBEREREMO L'IRAN"

Le dichiarazioni più importanti sulla crisi in #Iran dallo scoppio delle proteste per l'uccisione di #MahsaAmini.
Le pronuncia Joe #Biden, il presidente americano che lancia il segnale che milioni di iraniani attendevano da tempo.👇

Le sue parole arrivano in un momento inatteso, nel corso di un evento elettorale a sostegno del rappresentante democratico Mike Levin, in vista delle #Midterms. Mentre dal pubblico qualcuno gli mostra sui cellulari lo slogan "FREE IRAN" il presidente ha un guizzo:

"Non preoccupatevi, libereremo l'Iran".
È un attimo, cui segue subito dopo una precisazione che non placa l'entusiasmo della folla: "Si libereranno abbastanza presto".

Molti di voi mi chiedono come mai sui media italiani, soprattutto in tv, venga dato poco spazio al racconto quotidiano delle proteste in #Iran. La risposta è che non lo so. Non so come onestamente si possa ignorare un movimento che sta gonfiandosi di giorno in giorno.

Nelle utime ore è accaduto qualcosa di straordinario. E di inquietante per il regime. In alcune città le forze di polizia hanno deciso di porre fine alla repressione e iniziato a sfilare insieme ai manifestanti. Non è una scena totalmente nuova: è una dinamica simile a quella

che si vide nel 1979 con la Rivoluzione Islamica.
Una delle maggiori perplessità rispetto alla capacità del movimento di protesta di ottenere risultati è stata fin dall'inizio il fatto che esso fosse privo di una guida politica, di un'organizzazione in grado di coordinare gli

Key #Iranian military leaders may be endorsing President Ebrahim #Raisi to succeed Ali #Khamenei as #Iran’s next supreme leader. Here is what happened and why it matters: (1/8)
Senior Iranian military officials published an open letter praising Raisi’s #UN General Assembly address on 9/21. These letters are rare and used by officials to signify their political positions to the wider regime. Some of the #IRGC’s senior commanders signed this letter. (2/8)
These IRGC commanders include a tight circle of senior officers who often influence and intervene in domestic politics to promote their hardline agendas. They have established the IRGC as the most dominant actor in Iran. Read more here: (3/8)

🇮🇷 IRAN, SFIDA AL REGIME

Nell'aggiornare sulle proteste in #Iran dopo la morte di #MahsaAmini non si può non partire da questa anziana donna.
Il passo è incerto, la voce fievole, ma l'immagine è chissà perché ancora più potente: col velo in mano urla "morte a #Khamenei".

La novità più importante del giorno è però quella che comunica l'attenzione USA rispetto a quanto accade a #Tehran. Ieri era stato #Biden, dal palco dell'ONU, a schierare gli Stati Uniti, "al fianco delle coraggiose donne iraniane". Oggi è arrivato un atto concreto. Image

Il dipartimento del Tesoro USA, presieduto da Janet Yellen, ha infatti annunciato nuove #sanzioni contro la "polizia morale" iraniana (due virgolette non bastano, lo so), responsabile della morte di #MahsaAmini, e contro sette leader dell'agenzie di sicurezza iraniane. Image

Es gibt mittlerweile Dutzende solcher Videos aus #Iran. Bei Protesten 2009 + 2019 hat man das in der Form nicht gesehen. Der Geist ist aus der Flasche, die Furcht ist angesichts des Elends gewichen. Die jungen Menschen sind bereit zu kämpfen. #Mahsa_Amini

Auch dieses Video ist krass angesichts der Gefahr, der sich jeder dieser Menschen im aussetzt. So viele #Iran|er*innen wurden schon inhaftiert, gefoltert, getötet. Umso beeindruckender, wie dieser junge Mann dem Polizisten das Handy entreißt ❤️ #MahsaAmini
Oder guckt euch dieses Video der #IranProtests an (bis Ende schauen). Es zeigt wie Menschen im westiranischen Täbris auf die (bisher!) gefürchteten Motorrad-Milizen zurennen und sie verjagen. Das Regime und seine Schergen in der Defensive. #Mahsa_Amini

Was im #Iran abgeht und wie es zu #IranProtests2022 gekommen ist:
Schon wieder haben die Proteste „am Rande“ begonnen, in Kleinstädten und in ärmeren Regionen, wie im Dez. 2017/Jan. 2018 und November 2019 und im Gegenteil zu älteren Protestwellen, die in Großstädten anfingen./
Die südwestliche Provinz Khuzestan, die, obwohl sie das Zentrum der Erdölförderung des Landes ist, zu den ärmsten und unterentwickeltsten Regionen des #Iran zählt, ist wieder der Startort und der Hotspot der Protesten. /
Im letzten iranischen Jahr sind die Preise der Waren, die zum Einkaufswagen der unteren Schichte gehören, massiv gestiegen: Hühnerfleisch 21%, Eier 50%, Milchprodukte 60%.
Nun hat die Regierung erneut eine Preissteigerung für Hühnerfleisch, Ei, Milch und Speiseöl angekündigt./

The lack of a viable #Israel|i strategy to the #Iran nuclear issue after nearly two decades of dealing with it is shocking.

#Bennet tells #Blinken Iran can be deterred from 90% enrichment via #Russia level sanctions.

There are some problem with this. 1/ axios.com/newsletters/ax…
While #Iran and #Russia sanctions regimes are complex and comparison is hard #Iran sanctions are arguably more comprehensive. Critically its energy exports are sanctioned whereas #Russia's are relatively unfettered. Iran is a template for Russia sanctions not other way around. 2/
Now sanctions can be ratcheted up against #Iran in case of escalations by it on the nuclear issue b/c my sense is #Biden enforcement has slackened and EU and China can join. But there are reasons to doubt this will be a sufficient deterrent against Iranian nuclear escalation. 3/

Thank you @AsharqNews for having me.

In #Dushanbe, PM @ImranKhanPTI met for the first time with #Iran's new President #Raisi, and encouraged him to seize the opportunity to help in ending the war in #Afghanistan, in a delicate attempt to overcome #Tehran's recent criticism of alleged Pak military role in #Kabul. /1
The quadrilateral meeting between #Russia #China #Pakistan #Iran on the sidelines of the #Dushanbe summit of Shanghai Cooperation Organization #SCO provided another opportunity for Islamabad and Tehran to clear the air, with Russian & Chinese help. /2

On the day PM @ImranKhanPTI & Pres #Raisi met in #Dushanbe, SL #Khamenei-linked Kayhan newspaper accused #Pakistan's spy agency #ISI of dividing #Afghanistan's people & called on #Taliban to distance itself from Pak claiming Afghans "hate" the neighbor /3

Apriamo un altro thread per seguire anche oggi la situazione da #Kabul con particolare attenzione alla situazione all’aeroporto. ⤵️
Prima notizia del giorno: a prima mattina continua senza sosta l’afflusso di persone all’aeroporto internazionale in cerca di una possibilità di fuggire dai #Talebani che hanno occupato ieri la capitale. Queste le immagini di stamattina ⤵️
Gli Stati Uniti nel frattempo sembrano aver cambiato posizione sull’ospitare a casa propria gli afghani che hanno collaborato con loro durante la missione militare durata 20 anni e che quindi hanno diritto ad ottenere il SIV (Special Immigrant Visa).

In this thread, I'm going to explain things that Kyle got wrong.

I'm not telling Kyle to take this as face value but ask him to mention his friend under this thread so that he can respond to me.

1
In regards to #Raisi's religious qualification to become the next leader, he certainly meets the criteria.

His friend probably refers to "Ayatollah" vs "Hujjat-ul Islam" titles which are used by principalist news outlets & reformist news outlets respectively for Raisi.

2
You can accept neither & do your own research.

The title "Ayatollah" is used for a person who passes the course called "Kharej" in Hawza.

It's paramount to know he is qualified specially if you don't like him as the next leader. Wishful thinking never helped anyone!
