Iran's response to Israel is coming, with Mohammad Marandi

"Time is on our side, and the waiting period for our response to the criminal Zionist regime may extend longer than expected," Brig. Gen. Ali Mohammad Naeini, the spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, said on Tuesday.

Naeini stressed that creating a state of uncertainty in Israel "is intentional, as Iran’s response will be carefully timed and different from past operations."

He was of course referring to Iran’s promised retaliation against Israel for the 31 July assassination in Tehran of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of the political bureau of Hamas.

His comments echoed those earlier this month from Hizballah leader Hassan Nasrallah, who said that making Israel wait was "part of the punishment."

The Lebanese resistance group has also vowed harsh retaliation for Israel’s bombing of Beirut just hours before the assassination of Haniyeh in Tehran.

Among those killed in Israel’s attack on the Lebanese capital was Fuad Shukr, a senior Hizballah commander.

In the meantime, the deadly, daily exchanges between Israeli forces and Hizballah fighters across the Lebanon-Israeli boundary are escalating. And as the United States sends in more of its forces, there is a growing sense in the region that a wider war may be inevitable.

All the while, Israel’s American-backed genocide in Gaza accelerates with no end in sight.

We talk about all the latest developments with Dr. Mohammad Marandi, professor of English Literature and Orientalism at the University of Tehran, and a well-known analyst of regional affairs.

Z!onism is WORSE than Naz!sm because they’ve adopted the same dehumanization tactics. Not to mention, they supported Naz!sm through the Haavara Agreement

Love from outside Boston.
I wear my keffiyeh every day everywhere. People smile, say hello and Palestinian Americans start convos with me.
Please show your support. Do not be afraid. The people who are afraid to speak out are waiting for everyone else to do it first. DON'T WAIT!!!
Be brave. Be careful. Lift some weights and be aware and ready if someone messes with you. I've gotten stares but never attacked.
Big love to all who fight.
Praying through the tears but we must work and organize through tears and brokenheartedness to stop this.

My Zionist co workers know where I stand.
They need to know it.

[MendeMaria-ejbf]

Turkey shouldn't allow the US to use their bases against the defenders of the Palestinians.
