#Putin has signed the law ratifying the strategic partnership agreement between #Russia and #Iran.

Unlike the agreement with #North_Korea, this document doesn't have a mutual obligation for military support in case of military aggression against one of the parties. The #Russia_Iran agreement obligates the parties not to supply any aid to the aggressor in that case.

#Moscow and #Tehran also won't join the sanctions of other countries against each other.

The axis of evil gets stronger.

Iran's Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, during his meeting with the Saudi Defense Minister Khalid bin Salman:

  • The relationship between Iran and Saudi Arabia will be beneficial to both countries, and the two countries can complement each other.
  • There are enemies who oppose expanding relations between our two countries. These hostile motives must be overcome, and we are prepared to do so.

It's better for brothers in the region to cooperate and help each other rather than relying on others.

Saudi Defense Minister to Ayatollah #Khamenei:

I came to #Tehran with an agenda to expand relations with Iran and cooperate in all fields.

We hope constructive talks will lead to stronger relations between #SaudiArabia and #Iran than in the past.

«Israel had planned 2 strike #Iranian #nuclear sites as soon as next mnth but was waved off by #Trump in recent weeks in favor of negotiating deal w/ #Tehran 2 limit its nuclear program, according 2 admin officials & others briefed on the discussions

Trump made decision aftr months of internal debate over whether 2 pursue #diplomacy or support #Israel in seeking to set back Iran’s ability 2 build a #bomb, @ time when #Iran has been weakened militarily & economically»

and that #Moscow "is ready to do everything in its power to achieve this."

A spokesman for #Iran’s foreign ministry, when asked if #Russia had offered to mediate between #Tehran and #Washington, said only it was "natural" for countries to offer their assistance

There has been no official confirmation from the #White_House.

A friend sent me this picture of Tehran, Iran in the mid-70's when we lived there. The church where my dad worked is center left. A ski slope belonging to The Ice Palace (where I learned to ice skate) can be seen to the right of the church.

The road running from the bottom left to the right was Pahlavi Avenue, now ValiAsr Street - the longest street in the Middle East! At the time it was lined with tall trees providing shade in summer and was always cooler than the rest of the city!

Faced with myriad problems including gridlocked traffic and a sinking earth surface in its current capital, Iran is considering a drastic solution — moving it to an altogether different location on the Gulf of Oman. japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/02/ #worldnews #iran #tehran

>> ""Two #Iran Supreme Court judges killed in #Tehran shooting attack"…Apparently these two guys were responsible for some of the harshest sentences, executions and long sentences, and had only religious education, not legal.

Some #SCOTUS justices also rule as if they had only religious education, not legal.

And this applies to both meanings of "rule" — exercise monarchical power, and make legal pronouncements

"Two #Iran Supreme Court judges killed in #Tehran shooting attack"

Ali Razini and Mohammad Moghiseh

Apparently these two guys were responsible for some of the harshest sentences, executions and long sentences, and had only religious education, not legal. They were also involved in tortures and mass killings in the '80s and were known as the "judges of death"

@0xF21D OFC it's way worse as #NorthKorea is basically #airgapped and the average person there most likely doesn't even know what the Internet is.

  • And the few people who dare to speak in prearranged settings will say that they'd love to visit the CSR or GDR cuz they had worked with folks from there half a century ago...

Still, #Iran is well known for doing #HostageDiplomacy so having someone with a #US #passport do #journalism in #Tehran is kinda asking for trouble...

  • I guess they only got booted out because legally they had #journalist #visa but still, I don't see much gained from the trip and IDK any good ways to have extracted more that wouldn't have raised so many eyebrows that they would've likely been charged with "#espionage" and held in reserve for a swap...

Don't get me wrong it's really fecking important to report what's going on in #Iran and cover #IranProtests, but as a #US-bound camera crew they stick out like a Pantomimé in Mogadishu...

  • Their chances would've been way better getting in contact with locals remotely and going out of their way to not request or collect any #PII whatsoever in order to not endanger anyone.

Similar to how one can't just interview people on the streets of #Pyongyang, everyone in #Tehran is rightfully afraid of repression...

She can be glad she just got booted out of #Iran and not given a "non-consensual tour of #Evrin from the inside"...

  • Seriously, Iran is one of those places where I'd certainly not go in person, and I'm a heterocisbinary dude who with a bit of tan and clothing would likely be able to pass as a local...

Cuz #HostageDiplomacy is something #Tehran is proficient in...
