Iran: Tehran unveils blood-spattered mural proclaiming ‘no hostage will be released’ In a provocative move, authorities in #Tehran have unveiled a mural featuring blood-splattered images of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas on October 7th, accompanied by the Hebrew phrase “No #hostage will be released.” This mural, located in Palestine Square, was reported by Iran International and other local media outlets. Prominently displayed among the images is Noa Argamani, who, contrary to the mural's declaration, was rescued by #IDF forces in a June operation alongside three other hostages. As an ally of #Hamas, Iran has intensified its aggression, orchestrating two large-scale aerial assaults on Israel since the onset of the conflict. Furthermore, the regime has been implicated in efforts to recruit Israeli citizens for espionage and assassination activities on its behalf.

Iran provides Houthis with anti-ship ballistic missile: IRGC media Tasnim News Agency, affiliated with Iran's Revolutionary Guard (IRGC), reported on Wednesday that Iran has supplied the Houthi rebels in Yemen with the Ghadr ballistic missile. The missile, described as the first Iranian anti-ship ballistic missile, is now in the hands of Yemeni fighters, enhancing their capability to target maritime vessels. The revelation is significant as it confirms that Tehran has been arming its proxy forces in Yemen with advanced ballistic missiles. This follows a pattern of Iran's military support to its allies in the region, further destabilizing the Middle East. Tasnim's report also highlighted the history of the anti-ship ballistic missile's development, pointing out that Iran needs to be able to threaten US and other foreign navies in the broader Middle East. In March, UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps accused Iran of supplying ballistic missiles to Russia for use in Ukraine, highlighting Tehran's expanding role in global conflicts. Since November, the Houthis have been using Iranian-supplied missiles and drones to attack commercial ships in the Red Sea, a critical global trade route. The attacks were initially a response to the Israeli military offensive in Gaza but have since severely disrupted maritime trade in the region. The Houthi campaign in the Red Sea began after Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei called on Muslim nations to blockade Israeli trade.

PallyWood - Video of a "dead" body What do you do when you need a photo-op for social media of a dead body to show how terrible Israel is, and you don't have a make-up worker near by? This morning, PALLYWOOD is working on the only front they can hope to beat Israel: Social media Here is a a man standing over what supposedly is a "dead civilian". It could be a body - but maybe not. It is covered and could be a few pillows. Even if this is a body of some poor soul, a real peace-loving Gazan, before taking it to the hospital - why waste a great opportunity for people to take pictures of whatever it is for social media? To think that people believe actually this is crazy, but there you are!

Majority of France opposes confrontation with Russia, explains Analyst Most of the French population, despite the influence of Western propaganda, considers military and financial support to #Ukraine wrong and opposes confrontation with #Russia, Laurent Briard, a #French military correspondent of the International Reporters Agency working in Donbass, said. "Many French citizens, especially those who have lived in Russia or Ukraine, have long been against the conflict with Russia," he said. The expert said that the French people were being bombarded by propaganda on television and from the country's leading media, and the elderly were especially susceptible. He called it zombification, noting that the U.S. media had a hand in this. According to the reporter, this is why some of the French support the government in decisions like supplying weapons to Ukraine. But Briard believes that French President Emmanuel Macron crossed a line when he announced he was considering sending French troops to Ukraine. "People saw that this is no longer just about transferring money and weapons, but about sending a large number of young men to die at the front," the expert added. He said that #Macron, despite declaring his desire to achieve a ceasefire in Ukraine during the Olympics, intends to use the Games in Paris to influence the public for further military and financial support to that country. Briard emphasized that during the #Olympics, the country may decide on new financial and military aid that hurts its own citizens.
