The Houthis stopped firing on ships when the Israelis stopped butchering Gazans
The Trump administration would rather bomb Yemen than tell Netanyahu to stop his genocide

The US spent one billion dollars in one month only to bomb Yemen and failed to deter Ansar Allah. The US did not pay a penny to force Israel to lift the humanitarian siege on Gaza and stop the conflict in the Red Sea.

Americans are the first, and maybe the only modern Christians, who are openly bloodthirsty and see nothing wrong with murder. Amazing brainwashing project because 90 years ago (before Pearl Harbor), Americans were generally very anti-war.

Modern? Meaning what? Pre WWII…Read the accounts of Christopher Columbus’ crew, Cortez or the Puritans. Or any number of Americans between manifest destiny and WWI.

In case of positive identification of a hostile aircraft, and its intrusion into the sovereign airspace of the Islamic Republic, regional air defense commanders do not require higher up approval to engage the target.

‘Forgive me, mother. This is the path I chose—to help people.’
These were the last words of Rifaat Radwan, who filmed his own murder in Rafah. He was part of a Red Crescent convoy aiding wounded civilians. The convoy—clearly marked, unarmed, with flashing lights—was attacked on March 23, 2025.
For five days, the UN and Red Crescent were denied access to search for the missing rescue workers. When granted entry, they found 15 rescuers buried in a mass grave. The UN and Red Cross have called it the deadliest assault on their workers since 2017.
On April 2, the IDF stated that on March 23, ‘several vehicles were identified advancing suspiciously toward IDF troops without headlights or emergency signals,’ and their movement wasn’t coordinated in advance, prompting troops to open fire on these ‘suspected vehicles.’
However, the paramedic’s video, recovered from his body and verified by The New York Times, shows the convoy’s emergency lights were on, contradicting the IDF’s claim and proving their account of the attack was a lie.

I’ve thought about that. I’ve never seen combat, but the crews on those fleets, in Yemen, Israel, and Iran, have to be on total alert every second of every day. One late reaction could be fatal to a lot of people.

Still not clear at all “exactly” what are they protesting?
What specific issue would they like addressed?
“Protests” are becoming as inane and most likely a bunch of rent-a-mobs ( as “engineered” across the U.S. in spectacular unison — Clinton/Obama bringing the trash out)
As usual, a go nowhere, useless set of demands that carry no weight and address nothing specific to change.

? It still will. Iran never stated a specific time, it will happen.
As for Pezeshkian, he ran on a platform to do his best to get economic relief for his people, so what if he wasn’t all on board to bomb USReal.
He seems wise to me, there was a lot of footwork that needed to be done, hidden traitors that needed exposed. Lots of loose ends, and strengthening of borders, bases and a multitude of safeguards that have to be done. I’m certain every pager, phone and many other concerns had to be investigated for sabotage. Particularly every inch of their nuclear power plants.
Nevertheless, when they do attack, taking this time will pay off.
I always hoped Iran would just end those cretins, and roll USReal up in 5 days, however, I admit that I have not want the Iranian people to once again, suffer another U.S. attack like the one initiated by US via Iraq again.
As angry as I am at other Arab traitor nations to Palestine, I don’t wish for any further harm for any Arab or ME nation state aside from USReal. Enough of all of their blood throughout the ME that has been shed the last 100 years. Time to turn on the Anglos in the neighborhood and cast them out. Frankly, that consensus is building I believe. Even the usual collaborators are getting g sick and tired of their masters.

The IUMS is not only International, but also interdenominational. It has Muslim Brotherhood Qaradawi as well as Shi’a scholars.
Islam says that the imams and Priests will lead the people into wars. I have no doubt that Muslim Brotherhood and its equivalent in Shi’a Islam , plus the Christian and Jewish institutions , set up the confrontation on Oct 7 . MIHOP.
That might explain why it has taken about 830 days of continuous lethal bombardment by USUKIS against the peoples of Sham and the Shi’a Axis of Resistance for IUMS to issue a fatwa for resistance.
Christian lawmakers at the UN took less time but have failed to penetrate the Zionist dominance of the world media and Western diplomatic instituations like the UN.
One tin hat put up on a stick after 830 days of uncontrolled , IT -generated decimation is a sick joke, but Islam doesn’t accept infiradi, / individual resistance without instructions from the leadership
The fatwa is the first collective command for collective resistance and it will have been made in consultation with Western institutions like the UN and with Western governments.
WW3 is declared.
Planet earth faces the consequences of human greed once more, this tine in the age of nuclear weapons.
We like it up us, Mr Mannering.
If the ChriStian institutions cannot put Zionist Nazism under control in over two years of lethal destruction, and the Islamic institutions made no military preparations at all , the only conclusion one can draw is that the Chritian and Islamic institutions wanted war.
I hope they are happy with their War, which they have been planning with Israel for so long. The Churchill dogs on the back shelves of cars will carry on nodding on their springs.

The priestly gamble is this, that war, like covid , will sharpen the minds of the people about Death, since we obviously none of us are remotely bothered about other people dying, elsewhere.
Death is the business of religion, so how much we see the value of property fall through mutual confrontation, the imams and Priests will get more attention.
As to the Global Bankster ZioCapitalists, we learned in 2008 how they deal with the consequences of their banking fraud. Print money .
So many losers to prey on in the confusion of war.

One way to make people aware of their shortcoming is to point it out to them. You do not see the blanket accusation of 90 % of the global Muslim population as stupid then you too have a major problem. If you do not see something does not mean it is not happening. That is also a mindset induced by instant media access. Also accept untruths as reality.

No such problems, with EU countries inviting Zionist war criminals tot heir countries.
Two pro-Palestinian British MPs were denied entry to Israel and subsequently deported after local authorities accused them of misrepresenting the nature of their visit and planning to promote campaigns targeting the state.
Abtisam Mohamed and Yuan Yang, both members of the governing Labour Party, landed in Tel Aviv at 2:30pm local time on Saturday, accompanied by two aides. During questioning at Ben Gurion Airport, they told border officers they were part of an official UK parliamentary delegation – a claim Israeli immigration officials described as “false.”

But even this admission is a lie. After all, it deflects from the more or less official Zionazi policy of killing all Gazans, and preferentially all vestiges of Gazan civil society — for instance, healthcare workers.

As an organisation, the UN provides cover for genocide by not acting to counter it, where it is empowered to and capable of organising sanctions and other forms of isolation that do not require the use of force , therefore making it complicit in that genocide.
At the least, it should pass a motion that recognises its will to but inability to act, so as to absolve itself from the perception that it is purposefully misleading and confusing reaction to an ongoing genocide that so allows countries to avoid accountability, for being able to hide behind a perceived UN responsibility.
If not, then the UN as an organisation should be put on trial for incompetence, possibly purposeful.

The Sunni Scholars are joined at the hip with the Zionists. Prostrating to Ba’al together , sometimes a fartwa accidentally pops out.
HTS are takfiri, brainwashed Mercenaries of HTS. The genocided Alawites were like the British Army recruits from South Wales, easy to recruit in an area of poverty. HTS takfiris, and they have no place in Sunni Islam.
Muslim Brotherhood made no preparations whatsoever for the USUKIS backlash against Oct 7. The Axis of Shi’a Resistance has carried the entire burden of attacking Israel.
There are no Sunni Militias. No Saudi , no Saudi money. Saudi Arabia is 100% already fully Normaised with Israel.

But what isn’t admitted is that the Gaza Genocide and Israeli Apartheid are in fact these Western values and democracy in more naked form, without its civilizational lies of “freedom, democracy, and individual rights.”

Yemeni pro-government forces are reportedly preparing to launch a ground offensive aimed at retaking the strategic port city of Hodeidah, according to officials speaking to CNN. The planned operation is expected to be backed by coordinated Saudi and U.S. air and naval support.
The decision to pursue a ground assault comes amid growing assessments that continued airstrikes alone have stopped short of halting the Iranian-backed Houthi group’s persistent drone and ballistic missile attacks targeting commercial vessels in the Red Sea.

The Houthis are not “stopping free trade” as a goal. They are intervening in genocide to stop the U.S. from supplying Israel with bombs to mass murder women, children, elderly, paramedics, hospital workers, and hospital patients.
What the Houthis are doing is intended to stop genocide, not to stop trade. The Trump administration and the entire corporate media are all lying to you. If Trump wants to stop the Yemeni attack on U.S. ships, all he has to do is stop supplying weapons and money to genocidal Israel. But he’s not willing to do that because he’s Israel’s little bitch and has decided to go all-in with genocide and mass murder.
The US empire is the most evil colonizing empire in the world, run by genocidal lunatics who are loyal to mass murderers.
