I had a feeling my neighbor is going to steal my car. So I stole his car first. And kidnapped his children. Then burned down his house.

Also, my neighbour lives in a different continent still I stole the car.

The audacity of Americans to attack an Iranian warship returning from India who hosted multilateral naval exercise

Who gave the impunity to United States to carry out this attack? And will the Modi government criticise the Americans?

Fact Check: Trump DID start this war.

The Pentagon confirmed there was no evidence Iran was going to attack the U.S.

No imminent threat. No exit plan or strategy.

Just more lies from this regime as they cost the lives of service members and innocent civilians.

She is the grand daughter of Ayatollah Khamenei killed by United States during the attack.

Regardless of anyoneโ€™s political beliefs, this breaks the heart of every parent, reason why war is cruel, but it seems fun & games for the likes of Trump & Netanyahu.

Spainโ€™s Prime Minister Pedro Sรกnchez on Iran:

โ€œRemember that one can be against a hateful regime, as is the case with the Iranian regime, as is the whole of Spanish society, and at the same time be against an unjustified, dangerous military intervention outside of international law.โ€

Iranian media says Khamenei was killed in his office while he was at the height of his work during the hours of Saturday morning

It suggests that Khamenei did not attempt to evade the attack which implies that he already accepted the possibility, perhaps even embraced the prospect of martyrdom.
