There is no such thing as preemptive strikes. This is a war of aggression that has little to do with liberating the Iranian people.
📢At least 606 people seeking safety in Europe have died or gone missing in the Mediterranean sea since January 2026. This is considered the deadliest start to a year in over a decade, according to @unmigration.bsky.social.
Solidarity is not a crime, but Greece's new law treats it like one.
