Banning Iranian aircraft from their airports may sound like a clever show of obedience to Washington. But Tehran could simply return the favor and impose the same restrictions on the far busier airports of the Arab dictatorships.The irony is almost too perfect: monarchies voluntarily helping Washington "squeeze Iran" while Washington's own policies are actively disrupting the region's security, trade, energy flows and economies.Well, nothing says "strategic independence" quite like taking instructions from the power actively setting your neighborhood on fire. 🍿Marwa Osman/MidEaStream

September has a way of hurting differently.It is the month that seems to carry too many names, too many faces, too many phone calls you wish you had never received. A month of empty chairs, unanswered calls, funerals, photographs you can no longer look at for too long.September feels heavy.It is grief that does not announce itself anymore. It simply sits there... quietly, stubbornly... in the chest. You go to work. You answer emails and messages. You laugh when you have to. You carry on because life does not stop just because your heart has.But somewhere inside, you are still counting the people who should have been here.September is a month of loss for so many of us. A month that reminds us that some wounds do not heal; we simply learn how to carry them without falling apart in public.And perhaps that is the hardest part of grief: not that you miss them. It is that the

“We're very close here to the Holy of Holies.” ~Netabyahu the Terrorist.The religious authorities funded by Al-Saud mobilizing Muslims against one another over a false rumor about Mecca are, of course, not watching this thoroughly documented report, backed by both audio and visual evidence, leaving no room for doubt, and exposing a very real enemy under the Al-Aqsa mosque.They are too busy stirring up fitna among Muslims.Marwa Osman/MidEaStream

Being careless is my way of healing.Careless about convincing people that we, as natives of this land, have a right to exist on it. Careless about convincing anyone that we have a right to fight back. Careless about convincing anyone that we have a right to know our own worth.It has been almost two years since I lifted a finger to convince anyone of anything.Millions mocked our dead. They mocked maimed faces, blown-off fingers and shattered bodies after Israel's terrorist pager attacks, even when confronted with videos and photographs of babies, women and ordinary civilians who were targeted. People who were not fighters. People who were working in civilian institutions and logistics. It did not matter.And you know what?It still does not matter to me.I have completely lost the desire to obsess over making people believe, understand or change their minds.

"Europe needs the Strait of Hormuz more than we do. Get in a boat. This is their fight, not ours."Oh, Europe… you really thought the wars would always stay over here in our land ripping our lives to pieces, didn't you?For decades, Washington's wars, interventions, regime change campaigns and proxy conflicts have helped destabilize the very regions Europeans later complain are sending refugees toward their borders.First Washington brought about the Ukraine regime change and war then came another war against Iran for the sake of terrorist Israel and suddenly Europe discovers that wars have consequences, that energy routes can be disrupted, that economies can be hit, and that ordinary citizens can pay the price.And now Washington's message is essentially:We helped set the fire. You deal with the smoke.The Strait of Hormuz was not simply some natural disaster that Europe woke upMarwa Osman/MidEaStream

2/2 French team commander Paul Barril stated in filmed testimony featured in an Al Jazeera documentary that the operation was "extremely bloody and violent", saying: "We were not asked about our religion, but about the accuracy of the sniper rifles we had." He estimated the actual number of people killed inside the Grand Mosque and its corridors at between 3,000 and 5,000, which completely contradicts the figures and numbers announced by the Saudi authorities, which, according to this account, falsely minimized the scale of the catastrophe in an attempt to save face for the ruling regime.Source:The History Post Facebook page.The Washington Post, January 27, 1980, article titled: “Paris Aid to Saudis Cited in Ending Mosque Siege.”BBC report titled: “Mecca 1979: The Mosque Siege That Changed the Course of Saudi History.”Al Jazeera documentary from Tamer al-Meshal’s program TheMarwa Osman/MidEaStream

A short history lesson to debunk Saudi lies about who has historically really attacked Mecca.Below are images from the scenes of the Saudi forces' assault on the Grand Mosque in Mecca, with smoke rising from the mosque during their attack on the Safa and Marwa galleries, reportedly with the assistance of the French special forces GIGN in 1979, in what became known as the Grand Mosque seizure.The incident began on November 20, 1979 (1 Muharram 1400 AH), when Juhayman al-Otaybi and hundreds of his followers entered the Grand Mosque in Mecca and seized control of the Grand Mosque by force, in response to the wave of Westernization that had swept through the country at the time.Although it is strictly prohibited for non-Muslims (aka infidels) to enter the boundaries of the sacred Grand Mosque, according to the consensus of Muslim jurists throughout the ages and based on an explicit

Iran did not just fire missiles and drones at US military bases across West Asia. It appears to have demonstrated something far more consequential; the ability to find, reach and seriously damage heavily defended American military infrastructure thousands of miles from Iran.And now, some of the evidence is coming from inside the US military itself.CBS News has reportedly obtained exclusive photographs from active duty American soldiers showing extensive damage at multiple US bases across the region of west Asia.The images include a direct hit on a Boeing E-3 Sentry at Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, with the aircraft's tail severed from its charred fuselage. Other images show destroyed buildings, barracks and vehicles at US military facilities in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.One deployed US soldier told CBS:"This is major damage to our bases that hasn't been communicated to

Gaza has exposed the hypocrisy of Arabs and Muslims, except those in the Axis of Resistance led by Iran.While Gaza and south Lebanon have been reduced to rubble and Palestinians and Lebanese continue to be killed, the region's military leadership is busy sitting around the same table.In Germany, the chiefs of staff of terorist Israel, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Egypt reportedly met alongside the commander of the U.S. Central Command.According to reports, Israeli enemy Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir briefed the participants on Zionist Israel's military operations across multiple fronts.And according to the Israeli entity's public broadcaster, Tel Aviv has begun providing Saudi Arabia with intelligence through Washington.Meanwhile, during Mohammed bin Salman's visit to Cairo, security discussions reportedly took place with U.S. military participation,

Zionist Israeli Terrorism claimed yet another child.Young Muhammad Al-Zeinati rushed forward to recover the body of martyr Sharif Labad.The Israeli occupation forces fired a SECOND missile.It killed Muhammad.A child who went to retrieve the dead was turned into another victim of the same brutality.What kind of terrorism is this?How much more depraved can this get?Marwa Osman/MidEaStream

After weeks of incitement against her by Israeli colonial settlers, occupation forces have reportedly kidnapped Palestinian journalist Naqaa Hamed, Press TV correspondent in occupied Palestine, at a checkpoint near a town southeast of Bethlehem.Her kidnapping is not an isolated incident. It is part of a broader pattern in which Palestinian journalists are targeted, threatened, harassed, kidnapped, detained and silenced for documenting life under occupation.How many more journalists must be threatened or kidnapped or detained before the world treats the targeting of Palestinian media workers as the press-freedom crisis it is?

The confirmation of the strike on Saudi Arabia's main East–West Crude Oil Pipeline is far more significant than it may initially appear.The pipeline was Saudi Arabia's strategic alternative to the Strait of Hormuz: a critical route capable of transporting millions of barrels of oil per day from the kingdom's oil-rich Eastern Province across the Arabian Peninsula to Yanbu, on the Red Sea.In other words, it offered Riyadh a way to keep oil flowing westward even if the Strait of Hormuz became inaccessible.That matters because energy infrastructure is never just infrastructure. In a region whose wealth has so often been converted into weapons that has killed so many of our people in west Asia and north Africa, that has funded foreign wars, political influence and the preservation of authoritarian power, oil pipelines are arteries of geopolitical power.For decades, the immense wealth

Terrorist Israel just conducted one of the largest terrorist explosions in south Lebanon's history in the heights of Ali Taher in the Nabatieh governorate that caused a 4.1 magnitude earthquake as a result of the use of 1100 tons of explosives.I am sharing this video to show you the terrorism of Israel and to tell you this: when the time comes, and it will come, and you see our resistance reciprocating and retaliating similarly, DO NOT ASK WHY.This is an entity that only understands violence, and it shall reap what it sows.Marwa Osman/MidEaStream

A week ago, southern Lebanese young lady Israa Bahja her friends asked that this photograph be published if she were ever martyred.And this is where we are now:We take beautiful photographs of ourselves, knowing they may one day be placed beside our names on obituary notices.We choose our smiles for the possibility of death.What kind of life is this, where the young must think of how they wish to be remembered before they have even had the chance to truly live?May the curse of Allah swt be upon those who killed us and upon all those who accepted our killing.

They stole Maryam Salameh last night.Not a soldier on a battlefield, but a beautiful young woman, full of life, dreams, memories and a future she had every right to believe was hers.Terrorist Israel reached her in the supposed safety and comfort of her own home in the town of Maifadoun, southern Lebanon, with a bomb made in the United States of America, paid off with tax payers' money.Another young life extinguished. Another family left staring at an absence that can never be filled. Another dream buried beneath the rubble of a country that has been taught, time and again, that international law applies selectively and that Lebanese lives can be destroyed with complete impunity.And while Maryam's family mourns, Lebanon's political establishment continues to speak the language of sovereignty while surrendering its meaning.At the very top stands a political order that has

3 years ago today, I was sitting on my balcony in my home in Khiam watching and capturing the full moon on a serene calm beautiful night. Today, Khiam is occupied, calm nights in south Lebanon are a myth and my home...well I have no idea what happened to my home. I know one thing for sure though, my hatred, animosity and disgust towards terrorist Israel is as massive as entire planets and my support for active armed resistance against this cancerous entity has never been more firm.I promise myself and my kids...we will return to our hometown, whether our house remains or not..the land is forever ours.

whether we are witnessing resistance, or merely resistance as performance.Before claiming to save others from oppression, confront the oppression committed in your name.Before demanding political change abroad, fight for political change at home.And before asking the rest of the world to believe your promises of solidarity, demonstrate that you are willing to risk something to make those promises real.Because hypocrisy does not become solidarity simply because it is wrapped in progressive language.And ultimately, it is not only a lie told to others. It is a lie people tell themselves first.So, forgive me..or don't, it does not really matter, but I have zero trust in everything and everyone.Good day🌹2/2Marwa Osman/MidEaStream

I have reached a point where I have zero trust in American activism that claims to be fighting the foreign policy of its own government while doing little or nothing to confront the machinery of repression at home.This is not about demanding that every American become a full-time revolutionary. It is about something much simpler known as political consistency.For more than a year, the U.S. has continued to wage, enable, finance and politically shield policies that have produced devastation abroad, while simultaneously expanding the language and machinery through which dissent at home can be surveilled, criminalized and treated as a threat.The presidential memorandum passed last September on "Countering Domestic Terrorism and Organized Political Violence" is particularly revealing. Its language casts an extraordinarily broad net around political opposition, including people

Zionist Channel 14 reports that 13 engineering and heavy-equipment occupation soldiers from Battalion 603 fled their service in Lebanon without authorization.According to the report, the 13 soldiers had held a ceremony earlier this week in which they humiliated and abused their own fellow occupation soldiers. When their battalion commander learned what had happened two days ago and informed them that disciplinary measures would be taken, the 13 apparently decided that the best solution was to simply run away.Thirteen soldiers. One battalion. One disciplinary hearing. And apparently the collective survival instinct kicked in: "RUN".So much for the image of the supposedly invincible army. Apparently, sometimes the most effective military maneuver is a tactical retreat from your own commander.
