Iran So Far Away: 2026

Let's check in on our favorite sit-com, That's Our Bibi!

Particularly good plot point: the last big missile attack on Iran prior to the ceasefire leveled a historic synagogue in Tehran.

Homayoun Sameh, a Jewish representative in Iran’s Parliament, criticized Israel for targeting the building during a sacred period: "The Zionist regime (Israel) showed no mercy towards this community during the Jewish holidays and attacked one of our ancient and holy synagogues… Unfortunately, during this attack, the synagogue building was completely destroyed, and Torah scrolls remain under the rubble," he told national broadcaster IRIB.

Adding an international perspective, American journalist and documentary filmmaker Max Blumenthal highlighted the geopolitical implications of the attack on X: "The Jews of Iran were safe… until the US-Israeli terror coalition bombed them. Zionism seeks to destabilize the last major Jewish community in the region that’s outside its control, pushing its members to relocate to the hate-filled, hyper-militarized frontiers of 'Israel.'"

Iran’s Culture Minister Seyyed Abbas Salehi also addressed the attack on X, underlining its broader implications for Iranian society: "The damage and destruction of the Jewish synagogue in central Tehran is bitter and deeply distressing. American-Zionist warmongers have targeted Iran’s religious sites and civilizational heritage; for them, there is no difference between Muslim, Christian, or Jew. They have targeted Iranians; Iran will endure, but they will not last."

Iran’s Jewish population — one of the oldest in the world and the largest in the Middle East outside of Israel — continues to live and worship openly, with its own synagogues, schools, community institutions, and a designated representative in the Iranian Parliament.

In this context, Iran’s First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref emphasized the historic coexistence of Iran’s diverse religious communities.

"For centuries, Iran has been a safe home to the ringing of church bells and the prayers of Jews alongside the Muslim call to prayer. The attack on the synagogue in Tehran and the church in Isfahan is not an assault on one religion; it is an attack on the heart of Iran and on our legacy of tolerance. I am certain that the deep bond uniting the ethnic and religious communities of this land cannot be severed by such cowardly crimes," Aref said.

The ongoing US-Israeli war on Iran, launched on February 28, has so far killed more than 2,000 people, with hospitals, schools, and other civilian sites also targeted.

Jew, Israeli, Zionist, and Likud are not synonymous terms no matter how hard Bibi tries to elide the differences.

Caveat lector: The Tehran Times is an arm of the Iranian regime -- Fox News for the IRGC. However this story has also run on AJ and similar sites not particularly friendly to Iran. Nobody seems to be disputing the essential fact. Likudniks and their media are of course saying when Iran does it that's one thing and when Israel does it that's another, which must be a comfort to a child who has their hand or eye ripped out by a morally-approved attack.

Dump and Bibi and the Iranian regime need each other. They use each other to enrage and terrify their populations to stay in power.

Or Iran was tricked into thinking the missing American was in one area, when he was actually somewhere else. Which seems like the more likely scenario, even with our current "leadership".
 
Such utter and complete BS. I am so tired of Republicans creating solutions without a problem while leaving all the actual problems in shambles. What a fucking waste.

I find it hard to believe we could steal uranium under any covert operation. The downed pilot just happened to be where Iran stores uranium and no one was guarding it? Come on.

So, like Obama's deal, but abandoning all US presence in the region and removing all sanctions.

Are you tired of all the winning yet?

Oh, and instead of a one time "Thank You" payment of $1.7 Billion* for taking the Obama agreement, Iran now gets $2Mil / ship to pass through what was once a free stretch of water.

AADT of ships through the strait prior to this fiasco was 140/day. Iran will clear that Obama era one time repayment every SIX days. Twelve days if they split with Oman as rumored (not that Oman needs it).

Real win for Trump here. Art of the Deal for sure. *rolleyes*




*It was really $400 Mil placed into a US Military trust Iran had contributed to, plus $1.3 Bil in interest it earned. But conservatives never bother with the facts anyway.
