Pouya wrote to Chancellor Merz that negotiations with the Islamic Republic were not possible. He claimed that the regime had spread terror, war, and chaos for 47 years. During the war, it had attacked the United Arab Emirates more than Israel, even though the Emirates had helped him circumvent sanctions for decades. In addition, the Islamic Republic financially supported numerous terrorist organizations and directed many of them through the Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), Pouya wrote. The people in Iran had been demanding freedom and Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi for more than ten months. Pouya urged Merz to listen to them, support them, and close the embassies of the Islamic Republic. #Iran #Freiheit #Terrorismus (translated)
BrennpunktUA wrote that the IRGC knows it can act with almost complete impunity until the midterms in three weeks, and is taking advantage of this. It is unlikely that Donald Trump will respond militarily again before then. To counter Trump's accusations against Volodymyr Zelensky and Ukraine over high fuel and diesel prices, there needs to be reporting on the current events in the Strait of Hormuz. The media has failed to do this once again, wrote BrennpunktUA. According to the author, six ships, including tankers, were hit in one day - the highest number within 24 hours since the start of the war between the US and Iran. This is not happening by chance: In addition to its own interests, Iran is providing support to Russia in the current debate over the "Diesel Deal," wrote BrennpunktUA. #Iran #Ukraine #Medien (translated)

She reported receiving an English-language death threat that included a link in Persian, and speculated that the Security Police was monitoring the situation.
