Wichtig: Entscheidung der 🇱🇧 Regierung #Hizballah militärische Aktionen zu verbieten wurde auch von d zweiten schiitischen Partei AMAL mitgetragen u die ist zumindest im Parlament auf Augenhöhe. 2023/4 hatten sie noch (symbolisch) mit HA gekämpft. HA hat innenpolitisch keine starken Verbündeten mehr.
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

An Iranian attack drone hit Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan International Airport this morning, as Iranian strikes spread to another country.

Scheinbar werden die Parlamentswahlen im #Libanon um 2 Jahre verschoben. Ist wohl notwendig aber wirft die politische Entwicklung enorm zurück. Ein Land in der Dauerkrise.
can only be through LAF, lets see…
LOJ: Lebanese government 'bans all military activity by Hezbollah,' says it must 'surrender its weapons' and turn to 'politics only'
Tamar Ben-Ami, the Jewish-Israeli woman who inspired some of Mahmoud Darwish’s poems, recently passed. @lisang.bsky.social reflects on their brief romantic relationship and Ben-Ami’s life as a symbol of the intersections between Israelis and Palestinians.
BREAKING:
Iran’s former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad confirmed dead
the bloody high crime rate might be the biggest issue for many Arab Israeli voters

Why attacking #Oman? The country which tried to save the negotiations…
Being a mediator should in theory at least spare one from direct attacks…

Wenn das ansatzweise stimmt (wovon ich ausgehe) muss man Trumps außenpolitisches Handeln auch vor diesem Hintergrund analysieren.

BREAKING: Civilian casualties were reported after remnants of an Iranian missile fell onto a residential building in Suwayda province, southern Syria.
No doubt Tulsi Gabbard is drafting her resignation letter as we speak.
Tweet von Donald Trump vom 11.11.2013: Remember that I predicted a long time ago that President Obama will attack Iran because of his inability to negotiate properly-not skilled! https://x.com/i/status/399731975432728576
Es gibt zu allem immer einen Tweet von Donald Trump.
Was wird das Board of Peace dazu sagen?
AFP: Loud explosions heard in Saudi capital Riyadh - https://www.middleeasteye.net/live-blog/live-blog-update/afp-loud-explosions-heard-saudi-capital-riyadh
Die USA überlegen mal wieder, den Iran anzugreifen. Anlass genug für eine zweite Podcastfolge zu seiner Geschichte, den beiden Revolutionen, den Minderheiten oder der aktuellen Lage. Und das mit einem, der es wissen muss: Walter Posch von der Landesverteidigungsakademie. Auf allen Plattformen!
With these hits on US assets in the region, Iran is answering a long-open question about their capacity to retaliate. There is now a question about Iran’s capacity to continue launching, but it’s now a race to knock out launchers before interceptor stocks are depleted.

US Ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, gave a truly unhinged interview on Tucker that zealously genuflected to the Israeli right (see left).
Huckabee’s interview was so insane that it united the whole rest of the region—including the UAE—to make a joint statement against his remarks (see right).
Doesn‘t sound like advocacy for autonomy or a stronger Israeli role.
Important to remember that prominent leaders of large Druze militias existing b4 2025 are either in Damascus now (Abdel Baqi from Ahrar Jabal al-Arab and Laith al-Balous) or have been pushed aside like Yahya al-Hajjar from the men of dignity.
New podcast out! My panel discussion at @kreiskyforum.bsky.social on Bruno Kreisky’s 115th birthday.
My take: Austria’s role in the Egyptian-Israeli peace accords is underappreciated. #Kreisky Middle East legacy goes beyond the usual narrative.
