Except that Starmer was lying - there have been photos of bombs being loaded onto US bombers going around for at least several days now.

I really is ridiculous, and somehow the number only gets bigger as the stories are told! Last I saw was "40,000 protestors murdered in just 24 hours!", or something very close to it. The US and Israel have been carpet bombing Ir

> some civilians have been injured when Iran attacked the hotels where US agents were stationed Surely the US are using civilians as human shields?

You're being disingenuous - the "protestor" was caught on camera literally hacking a policeman to pieces. He murdered a policeman, and will now be executed.

It should be noted that Iran has publicly stated that the attacks on Turkey were false-flag attacks launched by Israel.

Heh, UK tinkerer here :) How hard is it to get started for amateurs? Are rules/regulations problematic?

Same. Security aside, I also didn't want to waste the battery when I knew I was unlikely to use Bluetooth.

Except Starmer is making sure that the "investigation" is hobbled - anything seemed important to "national security" will be excluded! The UK's "investigation" is a farce.

No, according to both Iranian government estimates and the US Department of State, around 99% of the population are Muslim. [0] https://www.state.gov/reports/2022-report-on-international-r...

Please do share these supposed videos. Except, they don't exist, do they? > Hamas mercenaries Literally LOL'd at that! What an utter load of nonsense.

Because Iran claims foreign-backed terrorists were behind all the murder and destruction - backed by Israel, the US and UK. Mossad has openly said they have people in Iran, and Israeli media has said they've sent weapons to the "p

That doesn't prove who went around murdering police officers and random people, and destroying hospitals, banks, police stations and ambulances - it only proves it happened at all.

Isn't HRANA funded by the National Endowment for Democracy (NED), a well-known CIA front?

I have a spider phobia, and struggled not to put the book down at first! But the concepts and writing are excellent... really engaging stuff. And by the end of the book I'd learned so much about spiders that I honestly felt less scared

Funny thing is, I remember it being as bad in the other direction - first few times I went to Texas with work, almost everyone seemed to struggle to understand me, seemingly no matter how "properly" I tried to speak!

Because that's plainly not what they are always doing. And the aggressive, racist unprofessional, downright dangerous way ICE are going about things is simply shocking.

FWIW, your comment is untrue, and against HN rules. People are allowed to have different opinions here, such as not supporting genocide or not believing western propaganda regarding yet another government overthrow.

There are alternative explanations. For example, foreign agents may have been using Starlink, and the security services may have used the shutdown to find the Starlink terminals.

That's not what I'm seeing. Why would "the people" be burning hundreds of mosques, ancient libraries, police stations, buses and civilian homes? How have over 100 police been killed so quickly by "organic" prot

That 12,000 number is utter make believe - an X account (you can guess who backs it) make this claim, got boosted and got over 1M views... and then they deleted the post. But the damage is done, of course.
