#Narges_Mohammadi wrote in a short note about women's struggle against #forced_hijab from #Evin prison:

"Iranian women's struggle against the compulsory hijab is not just a struggle for the right to cover, and the government's struggle with women is not for a religious duty.

Both Iranian women and the regime of the Islamic Republic are both aware that the problem is the failure of religious tyranny.

Mandatory hijab for women is like surrendering to illegitimate government domination and usurpation, and for the government, it is a tool and possibility for the continuation of domination and the survival of power.

The wide scope and dimensions of this conflict and confrontation did not stop at the borders of women's rights, but it has targeted the power structure.

The return of guided patrols, the presence of the police force in uniform and its officers and guards and privates in the streets and the intensity of violence in public, is an action by the government to create terror and in the same proportion, the resistance of women and the increase of the government's attacks. It shows the power and authority of the protesters."

🟣#نرگسمحمدی در یادداشت کوتاهی درباره مبارزه زنان با #حجاباجباری از زندان اوین نوشت:

«مبارزه زنان ایران علیه حجاب اجباری، صرفا مبارزه برای حق پوشش نیست و ستیز حکومت با زنان هم برای یک فریضه دینی نیست.

هم زنان ایران و هم رژیم جمهوری اسلامی هر دو آگاهند که مساله، شکست استبداد دینی است.

حجاب اجباری برای زنان به مثابه تسلیم شدن در مقابل سلطه‌گری و استیلای حکومتی نامشروع و برای حکومت ابزار و امکانی برای تداوم سلطه‌گری و بقای قدرت است.

دامنه و ابعاد گسترده این ستیز و رویارویی در مرزهای حقوق زنان متوقف نشده بلکه ساختار قدرت را نشانه رفته است.

بازگشت دوباره گشت‌های ارشاد، حضور نیروی انتظامی با یونیفرم و درجه‌دارانش و گارد و لباس شخصی‌ها به خیابان‌ها و شدت خشونت اعمال شده در انظار عمومی، اقدامی از سوی حکومت برای ایجاد رعب و وحشت است و به همان نسبت، مقاومت زنان و افزایش برخوردهای حکومت، نشان از قدرت و اقتدار معترضان دارد.»

I suppose the Fediverse has noticed the addition of a pro-China South China press thingie posting on here. I'm keeping an eye on it and I'm sure those who follow me have noticed me boosting a toot or two of theirs; that's because I found their take of a given situation or other an anomaly of their usual position on things.

Unconfirmed: computers taken to Gaza by Hamas on October 7 were hacked by Iranian team exposing the list of all Mossad operatives in West Asi and Europe.

The news comes from an Iranian telegram channel and can't be verified.

If it's true. Then it's the biggest security risk for Israeli global operation in their history.

Angriff auf Iran? Israel schweigt weiter

Iran - Israel schweigt weiter zum mutmaßlichen Angriff auf Iran

Nach dem mutmaßlichem Angriff auf den Iran hört man von Israel nach wie vor weder eine Bestätigung, noch ein Dementi.#ISRAEL #IRAN #Hisbollah #GAZA

Hezbollah sources claim that they ambushed a group of Israeli special forces who were trying to enter Lebanon and killed almost all of them.

The event happened last week, the information was posted the next day, but I could not verify it. Yesterday, an Israeli "expert" accidentally admitted on love TV that they lost 18 soldiers in northern Israel last week, something that he immediately changed to "injured".
Israel is trying hard to limit the information about their casualties in Lebanon and northern front and they have stepped up their bombings and incursions by special forces in the past few days.

The attacks against Gaza havd also increased to a level we haven't seen in the past few weeks with IDF preparing an all out invasion of #Rafah.

Tulkaram and other parts of occupied West Bank also been targets of unprecedented destruction and attacks by IDF.

The veto of #Biden at the #UN has emboldened Israel who has since bombed #Lebanon, #Syria and #Iraq, not to forget their attacks against #Iran. All with American provided bombs and fighter jets.
