This is the beginning of my new thread on the sub-topic of Trump and Netanyahu's war of aggression in Iran, the death of mass-murder culprit Khamenei and related, as well as the preceding widespread protests in Iran against the Iran-theocracy.

The previous thread ending here https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/116153257176880566 had once again gotten so long that continuing it may break some software.
Unfortunately I noticed that I somehow broke the continuity of that thread and I can't find the dangling thread, but here https://todon.eu/@b9AcE/115864823298749446 is where the threads on the latest wave of protests against the mass-murderously authoritarian reactionary Iran-theocracy, etc started.

The war of aggression culprit "Israel military says it has destroyed half of Iran's missile stockpiles"

How about you destroy your own stockpiles, used in your own genocidal warfare and multiple wars of aggression, launched by your own authoritarian reactionary religious-extremist government, as well as your own nukes endangering all of humankind? No? When you do it, it's fine? Of course. Thus always the authoritarians, same as Iran's, and so on.

Iran has fired two missiles towards Cyprus, according to the U.K. Secretary of State for "Defence" John Healey via TT, which also notes that the U.K. has military bases on Cyprus.

Without those bases, the people on Cyprus would be more safe, obviously.

It was widely reported earlier that IRIB, the Iran-theocracy's main propaganda-outlet, had been destroyed by USA/Israel's bombing in Tehran, AFAIK based on claims from Israel's military.
Now IRIB's PR Director General has denied the destruction claim.
Neither are trustworthy sources.
The propaganda-outlet may or may not be destroyed, depending on the observer, I suppose. Schrödinger's propaganda?

Employees of major defense contractor V2X Inc on US military bases in Kuwait say they lack adequate bunker facilities and have had their pay reduced amid Iranian missile attacks across the Persian Gulf region [...]

V2X workers in Kuwait and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, received an alert email from the company at 11.58am local time on the day of the attacks. The message, reviewed by the Guardian, read: “PER GIANT VOICE! INCOMING, INCOMING, TAKE COVER, TAKE COVER. MOVE TO THE NEAREST BUNKER OR HARDENED BUILDING AT CAMP BUEHRING. SECURE IBA AND HELMET!!! THIS IS NOT A TEST !!!”

[...] Some of the shelters resemble above-ground concrete tunnels with open ends

[...] US military personnel stationed in Kuwait were evacuated in the past few weeks, leaving the bases relatively empty, while contractors remained in the country.

“It almost seemed like [the Pentagon] evacuated the soldiers so if anything would happen safely, for instance, that base was hit it would be less casualties on the military standpoint,” said the second American worker. “What about us? Are we just considered casualties of war? How did they leave before us?”

The "Guardian Council" member of the temporary Leadership Council intended to rule Iran between dictator Khamenei's death and the succession to a new theocratic totalitarian ruler was appointed to be Alireza Arafi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alireza_Arafi), alongside already fixed Prez Pez (President Masoud Pezeshkian) and Chief "Justice" Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Eje'i.

Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naser_Makarem_Shirazi) issued a fatwa declaring "jihad" against USA and Israel over the killing of dictator Khamenei, declaring Trump and Netanyahu to be "Enemies of God".

As I said.
It's not about whether one likes or dislikes any particular regime anywhere, it's about preserving the protection against States, especially under authoritarian rulers, just invading others' homes whenever they feel like, resulting in usually at least many thousands up to millions of devastated lives just for some ruling elite's lust for power.

The politicians in EU and Canada will certainly change their minds when USA now invading in Iran on Trump's whim keeps pushing and maybe actually does invade EU and/or Canada as has been explicitly mentioned by Trump as a possibility, based on their praise of this war of aggression invasion now.
The UN Charter protection against States invading, or actually even threatening to, must be maintained as an equally absolute rule for ALL States, not just arbitrarily applied when one feels like it, because then it doesn't work.
Then the Trumps, Putins, Erdoğans, Netanyahus, etc of the world will just point at the other rulers' past declarations of support for war of aggression to claim they can do it to anyone anywhere.

'University students in Iran form alliance: Let us raise our voices for a democratic future

[...] outlined the fundamental principles of their alliance as follows:

A clear stance against reactionism and inherited tyranny: We will not bow to sheikhs or religious leaders. The revolution of the Iranian people is a journey toward freedom, equality, secularism, and democracy. Attempts to restore the past and reestablish the monarchy are a betrayal of the principle of freedom. We will not choose between “bad and worse”; our preference is a rule by the people.

Drawing a line against fascism and totalitarianism: The slogan “One state, one flag, one leader” [wannabe-Shah's slogan] recalls the dark era of Nazi Germany and has nothing to do with democracy. This movement, associated with slogans of throne, annihilation, and death, seeks to impose its own beliefs and suppress the freedom demands of the women’s movement. Those who conduct politics through threat and fear are a danger to Iran’s future. We will not allow Kurds, Turks, Baloch, and all the children of this country to be labeled as “separatists,” nor will we permit domination through military repression.'

The Guardian view on Trump’s Iranian campaign: an illegal war that risks becoming the new normal
[...]
Force is lawful, under the UN charter, only in self-defence against an imminent attack or with security council approval. Neither condition has been met. There was no evidence of an “instant, overwhelming” Iranian attack being prepared. What Donald Trump’s Operation Epic Fury looks like is not pre-emption but prevention: a decision to eliminate a future risk while an enemy appeared weak. It is a war of choice. Mr Trump’s call to overthrow a sovereign government was extraordinary.

Unlike pre-emptive wars, preventive ones are deemed unlawful because they grant the powerful licence to strike at will. The distinction is important; it is why many European governments rejected Russia’s justification of its invasion of Ukraine by claiming to head off a future threat. Law cannot be optional for allies and binding only for adversaries. [...]

Any politicians, in e.g. the EU, who praise this war of aggression also thereby legitimize that for example Putin might wake up some Monday morning in a bad mood and therefore decide to invade e.g. Poland, using EU politicians' currently praising whimsical war of aggression as legitimization; they are putting you at risk.

Hewlêr/Erbil International Airport in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq was bombed, reportedly by some component of the PMF/PMU which while officially part of Iraq's federal army mostly consists of groups aligned with the Iran-theocracy.
Not only the Iran-opposition "Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan" (KDPI/PDKI) in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq was bombed by the counter-revolutionary IRGC of the Iran-theocracy, but at least also at the "Kurdistan Freedom Party" (PAK) and Komala (I assume the "Komala Party of Iranian Kurdistan", as there are several Komala parties, but from context...).

The counter-revolutionary military IRGC of the Iran-theocracy also bombed an arbitrary highway at Hewlêr/Erbil in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq.

Very heroic.

The "Morality Police" of Tehran as well as the Gisha Police Station 137 were bombed.

Police are civilian in armed conflicts unless the rulers decide to use the police for military tasks within the armed conflict, which it can strongly argued the Iran-theocracy has chosen to do whereby they made also police valid military targets.

Now also as an article, in English:
"Iran targets camps and headquarters of four Rojhilat [eastern, Iran-held part of Kurdistan] parties [...] in Bashur (South Kurdistan [a.k.a. northern Iraq])"

It's not "pro-Iran", it's "pro-Iran government" or similar.
It's not "pro" the extremely numerous murderously oppressed people in Iran, so that phrasing is only valid if one only considers the government to be "Iran" or if one only considers the abstract concept without humanity on paper as "Iran". Do better, the Guardian.
