❗️White phosphorus strikes by Israel devastate southern Lebanon, forcing mass displacement
Human Rights Watch and independent researchers have documented the use of white phosphorus by Israeli forces over agricultural and residential areas in southern Lebanon, confirming the chemical weapon’s deployment during the early days of the recent Israeli assault on Lebanon. Satellite imagery and photos verified that M825 155mm shells released white phosphorus over residential areas in south Lebanon, forcibly displacing roughly 800,000 people.
Experts warn that Israel may be using white phosphorus to create a scorched-earth “buffer zone” along the border, clearing fields and forests to expose Hezbollah fighters. According to a report from Al Mayadeen, between October 2023 and November 2024, nearly 250 instances were recorded, with 39 percent striking residential areas, 17 percent agricultural lands, and 44 percent forests or open terrain. The strikes produced intense fires, thick smoke, and chemical contamination, endangering anyone returning to the region.
Environmental and agricultural damage is severe. More than 2,000 hectares of southern Lebanese countryside were burned, including nearly 900 hectares of dense forest. Phosphorus contamination in soil, combined with heavy metals, threatens crop fertility, reduces microbial diversity, and leaves the land hazardous for farmers and residents long after the attacks.

❗️Israeli chief of staff warns that Israeli forces as ‘on course to collapse’
According to a report from Ynet, Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir issued a stark warning during a cabinet meeting, declaring that Israel forces are “on course to collapse into themselves" under mounting internal and operational strain. Zamir cautioned that force requirements are rapidly expanding while the army remains overstretched across multiple active fronts, from Gaza and Lebanon to Syria and the occupied West Bank.
The warning came as the government pressed ahead with expanding illegal outposts in the occupied West Bank, further burdening an already depleted military. Zamir highlighted a surge in Israeli settler violence, forcing the redeployment of additional battalions, while stressing that the growing demands on manpower are incompatible with current capabilities. At the same time, the government has failed to pass legislation addressing recruitment shortages, including laws on ultra-Orthodox conscription, reserve service, and extending mandatory military service.
According to Zamir, the situation is approaching a breaking point. “The reservists will not hold,” he warned, raising “10 red flags” over the army’s sustainability. He added that, at this pace, Israeli forces may soon be unable to maintain even routine operational readiness.
🇮🇷| Iranian taxi drivers and their opinions on the Iran-US war:
I drove with about 20 different taxi drivers so far. Mostly Kurds, Fars and Azeri Iranians.
About 19 of them fully supported the armed forces of Iran. Out of the 19, 16 were very politically aware of the situation, felt proud of their country’s military success so far, completely supported the new Iranian leader and none of them watched “Iran International” and acknowledged it’s a Mossad-affiliated propaganda outlet.
One of them was even so excited, that he proudly told me about that one anonymous IRGC pilot he saw talking on Iranian TV, explaining Iranian strikes against “Israel”. You could literally hear the excitement in his voice, it actually made me proud.
The other 3 supported the armed forces but believed in some weird conspiracy theories, and had doubts about the success rate of Iran’s military strikes, un-interestingly when I asked them, all 3 watched “Iran International” regularly.
The remaining one person was very angry about US/Israeli attacks, especially on civilians, but wasn’t politically aware and believed Iran was finished. Believed in a lot of fake news (“zadan hamechio ba khaak yek saan kardan & dige hichi namoonde”) and had no hope. When I asked what he watched, he said “Iran International” and BBC. He said he doesn’t watch Iranian news outlets at all, and didn’t care a lot when I said that “Iran International” is Mossad-affiliated.
Note: Iranian taxi drivers are among one of the lowest classes of the society, in terms of financial income.
@FotrosResistancee
France is saying that Iran’s strikes have demolished 30 to 40% of the oil refinery capacity in the Gulf, resulting in a shortage of 11 million barrels a day on the global scale. It also says it could take up to three years to restore the facilities.
Buckle up, guys.
Why do I need to buckle up if the car is out of gas?
How do we buckle up? I have no idea how to prepare for next weeks decades 😭
Maybe, an electric bike and preparing your body to handle kms in distance might help 🤔
Also, customizing that bike to handle your groceries could be a good idea.
Disclaimer: this will only work if you are in the city. People from the suburbs might be fucked for good.
Honestly idk either. I guess now is a time to secure some food reserves because fuel shortages impact a lot of different sectors and food is, of course, the most important.
Ouuu I guess I get to learn how to pickle things! And I will be planting lots of beans this year too.
Rare Pakistan W if true
Satisfying to see the US and Israel getting their asses handed to them
US dropping explosive packages/anti-tank mines (?) on Shiraz this is confusing since I have spent little time on this today. Drones? Exposed area?

🇺🇸☀ The U.S. Ambassador to Turkey is now expressing “heartfelt condolences” to the Kurdish Peshmerga, while Iraqi soldiers are killed by U.S. strikes in Anbar.
Washington doesn’t mourn the Iraqis it kills. It only mourns the Kurds it can use for their dirty work.
Didn’t the Kurds refuse to work with the U.S. again after it betrayed them? Is this the empire’s attempts to try and cozy up to them again?
There are so many different Kurdish armed groups I’m sure one of them is stupid enough to go for it.
If Israel invades turkey, won’t that invoke the mutual defence clause?
The clause wouldn’t be invoked. The U.S. would absolutely sacrifice Turkey for Israel. The only thing an Israeli invasion would do is shatter the illusion of NATO as a “defense pact” once and for all. I wouldn’t be surprised if some countries straight up left in protest.
Israel is the special boy.
Out of morbid curiosity, I’m kind of curious on how it’ll go.
But of course, I’m hoping they won’t get past Lebanon.
— I personally talked with one Arab-Israeli settler living in Israel… Upon sirens they are not allowing them to enter into shelters.
Along with them worker from India are also not allowed to enter into mobile shelters, they are forced to hide in sevage or basements.

🇺🇸⚔🇮🇷 What a headline. Soldiers working remotely.
Iran has bombed U.S. bases across the Middle East in retaliation for the U.S.-Israeli war, forcing many American troops to relocate to hotels and office spaces throughout the region, according to military personnel and American officials.
So now much of the land-based military is, in essence, fighting the war while working remotely, with the exception of fighter pilots and crews operating and maintaining warplanes and conducting strikes. - New York Times
And now you know why hotels are getting hit as well. 😉
And yet I’m forced to drive 3 hours a day to keep my desk job where I do nothing but work on a PC all day. We even still do meetings virtually from our cubicles. Fuck I hate this country.
Stationing troops in civilian buildings is a war crime isn’t it?
Common misunderstanding!
It’s not a war crime when the West does it.
Sad. Hopefully the people living in those hotels will notice somethings wrong and quickly evacuate the moment they see soldiers.
Rest I believe in Allah’s judgement expressed through Iran’s wrath
Its almost like hosting the US Military isnt safe
🇺🇸🇮🇱⚔️🇮🇷 Iranian missiles are penetrating Israeli defenses, raising doubts about interceptor effectiveness, The Washington Post reports.
Officials say fears that Iran is stockpiling missiles to overwhelm air defenses helped drive the conflict, and recent strikes have exposed vulnerabilities in Israel.
Hits on Arad and Dimona have fueled concerns Israel may be running low on interceptors and could be forced to ration them, prioritizing key sites like Dimona’s nuclear facility.
Israel’s layered air defense, including Iron Dome, David’s Sling, and Arrow, is considered among the most advanced, but costs are high. Arrow interceptors run about $3 million each, David’s Sling about $700,000, Iron Dome $50,000 to $70,000, and THAAD around $15 million.
According to U.S. officials, the Pentagon spent roughly $5.6 billion on munitions in the first two days of strikes on Iran
So they are saving interceptors, that have proven mostly ineffective against most of Irans older missiles, for key locations, which Ira will now be using their newer missile on. lol

“I was afraid that the wasps might sting me so I threw pebbles at their hive until they swarmed me.”
We had to preempt their retaliation.
It truly is such an absurd way to expedite the collapse of the American empire. What good is the capitalist grift if, in the end, the petrodollar ceases to exist? Capitalists really get seized by the throat by the parasitic system itself and have no choice but to fulfill its unquenchable desire.
