"Translation of what Macron says to Iranians :

"We brought Khomeini to your country via Air France to slaughter you.

We respect your sovereignty.

If you, the people of Iran, want regime change, step up.

So our favorite regime can kill you"

This man is evil"

"What world owes Iranians

Iranian civilisation, among the world’s oldest continuous cultures, shaped humanity, influencing art, science, governance. Its scholars’ texts were core in European universities for ages.

Let’s break it down:

▪️Over 2,500 years ago, Cyrus the Great built an empire from the Mediterranean to the Indus River, introducing diplomacy, cultural respect, and human rights. His Cyrus Cylinder is considered the world’s first human rights charter.

▪️Al-Khwarizmi (c. 780–850 CE), the father of algebra, introduced methods for solving equations, advanced computation, and Hindu-Arabic numerals, laying the foundations of modern algorithms.

▪️Avicenna (Abu Ali Ibn Sina, 980–1037 CE) systematised human anatomy and surgical techniques; his landmark book, The Canon of Medicine, became the backbone of medieval and modern medicine.

▪️Omar Khayyam (1048–1131 CE) advanced algebra, calendar reform, and astronomy, calculating the solar year more accurately than contemporary European scholars.

▪️Jalaladdin Rumi (1207–1273 CE), one of the most influential poets in history, developed philosophical and ethical frameworks focusing on justice, tolerance, and social cohesion, influencing literature, philosophy, and psychology worldwide.

▪️Saadi (1210–1291 CE) codified principles of morality, leadership, and law in his Gulistan and Bustan; one of his poems is inscribed at the United Nations gates:

“Human beings are members of a whole,
In creation of one essence and soul.”

▪️Persians developed qanat irrigation systems to bring water to arid lands and yakhchal refrigeration techniques — early forms of refrigeration and climate control.

▪️Their satrapy system (provincial governance) and Royal Road enabled efficient administration and communication across vast territories.

▪️Achaemenid and Sassanian architecture at sites like Persepolis, Pasargadae, and Susa set the foundations for later West and Central Asian styles, and Iran’s gardens, carpets, and monumental ruins remain iconic testaments to that enduring aesthetic influence.

▪️Even today, Iranian culture shapes literature, cinema, science, and innovation, with breakthroughs in nanotechnology and medical research."

It shows in the many jokes that were made by Americans about the "STRAIT" of Hormuz vs. h's, how badly the mindset has been taken over by this phenomenon.

I would NEVER have thought of that association !

However, this map does point out clearly WHERE the h's are localized in the Persian Gulf region : left-liberal-is not reali puppet, Dubai.
Recall that is not real has a terribly high percentage [40+% ?] of h's in the [fast declining population as millions have fled to Cyprus, Greece and Argentina.
Supposedly 15 planes took off today, which was speculated to be is not reali govt figures fleeing en masse. Whatever the reason, the is not reali population took another dip]

Ryan Grim, the journalist who I think 1st uncovered the Twitter post of Shehbaz Sharif as having been drawn up by the White House and sent to the Pakistani PM to post, made this suggestion in the clip below awhile before the 2-week ceasefire was announced.

It's educational to listen to the story of how the Cuban Missile Crisis was handled by the US at that time. Such a tactic may help somewhere.

Ryan Grim quick bio from wikipedia :

"Ryan W. Grim (born March 23, 1978) is an American author and journalist. Grim was Washington, D.C., bureau chief for HuffPost and formerly the Washington, D.C., bureau chief for The Intercept. In July 2024, Grim and The Intercept's co-founder Jeremy Scahill left The Intercept to co-found Drop Site News...
In 2023, Grim obtained and published a leaked Pakistani diplomatic cable alleging U.S. State Department pressure on the Pakistani government to remove Prime Minister Imran Khan from office in 2022."

Jeremy Scahill wrote the superb book which I read at the time :
Blackwater: The Rise of the World's Most Powerful Mercenary Army (2007)

He is Catholic, as probably Ryan Grim is also, looking at his schooling.
Both writers are on the 'progressive' side of the spectrum.

But they do excellent work uncovering many topics that would never see the light of day otherwise.
