A "stab in the back" if you will.
Everyone - and I mean everyone - in Israel feels a profound sense of betrayal today. From all across the political spectrum and from every walk of life. Everyone.

Woke up thinking about how players were in Iran's lineup that shouldn't be even on the bench at their clubs.

Milad Mohammadi has almost 80 national appearances and 3 World Cup participations but plays like he’s making his senior debut.

What a waste. Even with war and the prelude, shattered economy, domestic league on hold for months, etc. Iran should easily go to the next round, and with a bit of luck the one after. Doesn't look like it now. Wrong squad picks, worse line up, weird subs.

NZ is so shit. Iran should be ahead with 3-4 goals. Our coach is such a dumbass.

Cursing New Zealand for making this doofus the first Iranian player to score in two World Cups.
An impudent finish from Ramin Rezaeian draws Iran level against New Zealand. The winger brought the move to life as he darted in from the right before finishing with aplomb. Rezaeian scored in the 11th minute of stoppage time in Iran's 2-0 victory over Wales at the 2022 World Cup.

It is fascinating that Iran's Arab allies, the ones literally fighting Israel on the ground, are congratulating Iran but Iranian kids who have done nothing other than tweeting keep attacking Iranian officials (or just part of them: "Reformists") for the ceasefire.
⚑️ Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement: We congratulate the people, government, and leadership of Iran on Iran's great achievement, which was attained by imposing a ceasefire and curbing the aggression. πŸ”ΉIran's victory was realized through the courage of the Iranian people, its armed forces, its steadfast government, and its wise leadership.

Who even are you
EU's von der Leyen: The agreement should open the door to wider talks and lead to the end of Iran's nuclear and ballistic programs. There can be no lasting peace while Lebanon remains in flames. We call for a genuine ceasefire and the full respect for Lebanon's sovereignty. Once again, we've seen our energy dependency being weaponized.

We did win the war, the negotiations we have to see.
Iran never won a war, but never lost a negotiation!

Comparing this to when JCPOA was announced. Iran's situation, the mood among tens of millions of my compatriots inside and outside, my own feelings, hopes and dreams, etc. Iran might have won the war, Pyrrhic or not, but what a lost time.

Iran might be the only country to ask for concessions to be given to its enemies. Or we are gonna be friends with Jolani now.
Trump recently pushed for Netanyahu to order the withdrawal of Israeli troops from southern Lebanon and Syria's Mount Hermon as part of the agreement with Iran. Netanyahu refused -Maariv

It's so appropriate that this year the Iranian national team has a guy nicknamed "general" as its coach.

Posters on the wall of a mosque in Isfahan boasting of Iran's victory in the war by citing Mario Nawfal, Adam Kinzinger, Trita Parsi, Timothy Snyder, Elijah Magnier, etc.

Global suicide is letting Israel and the US continue their rampage. Allowing/helping the global economy come crashing down is the only way to prevent the suicide.
I think the anti-imperialist left needs to come to terms with the fact that there is not one state on this planet that is interested in global suicide.

My VPN isn't working great. I was at friends' place last night and someone said "the US says that it's gonna hit Isfahan tonight." Someone read a story saying that Trump had said the attack is cancelled but then said the attack is back on. Few hours of "fun."

there's never been a clearer justification for a preemptive strike

They are saying a shahed lodged itself between the two pilots. I am not sure how a shahed sized object does this without obliterating the entire cockpit. And that the helicopter is even able to fly with the wreckage of something like this just under the rotor.
This is the most Looney Tunes level bullshit I've ever heard you have to be kidding me
