War or else, nothing has stopped the Iranian regime’s suppression against Iranians, much worse, they are arresting and executing more under the shadow of the war.

One side wants to rush into ending, the other wants to buy time as much as possible. One side sees victory in ending, the other’s survival relies on suspension; the state of emergency

Afghanistan's capital is in the grip of a water crisis Nestled in a high-altitude valley in Afghanistan's Hindu Kush mountain range, Kabul is rapidly running out of water.

In #Kabul water is becoming a matter of survival. Falling groundwater & failing infrastructure are driving a crisis.

#EU must

➡️prioritise water & sanitation (WASH)

➡️stabilise local systems

➡️scale support via trusted partners

Remember Game of Thrones series? Daenerys Targaryen, the white savior of enslaved people? Remember some people in real world admired her so much that they named their babies after her? And remember what she did at the end to the towns, and what happened to her? I’m just saying.

And seems there is no one, inside or outside the US, to be able to do something about it.

President Trump has repeatedly threatened to destroy infrastructure that makes up the foundations of civilian life in Iran — attacks that in most cases would be considered war crimes. He said on Wednesday that the U.S. would bomb Iran “back to the Stone Ages.” www.nytimes.com/2026/04/05/u...

Pentagon prepares for weeks of ground operations in Iran If President Trump approves the plans, such an effort would mark a new phase of the war that could be significantly more dangerous to U.S. troops than the first four weeks.

But we have learned by now what “short-time” means!

The Pentagon is preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran.
It would fall short of a full-scale invasion & could involve raids by a mixture of Special Operations forces & conventional infantry troops, said the officials.

Since the beginning of the war: no internet, no communication from outside Iran, no news. And today: no electricity, no need to mention oil and water resources. Someone claimed regime has already changed in Iran? So, Iranians are all saved and are now in prosperity?

Graph from NetBlocks showing network connectivity in Iran from 24 February 2026 to 27 March 2026. The y-axis represents normalized connectivity, ranging from 0% to 100%, and the x-axis represents the dates. The green line representing Iran's connectivity is high through the initial time period, with a sharp drop on the morning of 28 February. The continued drop in connectivity aligns with a nation-scale internet blackout imposed by authorities after joint military strikes by the US and Israel. A brief restoration was observed on 18 March. The minimum and current connectivity levels are indicated as 1% and 2%, respectively. The chart has a dark background with a red horizontal arrow labeled 'SHUTDOWN' indicating the disruption period, and the NetBlocks logo in the lower left corner with the Mapping Internet Freedom slogan.

⚠️ Update: The internet blackout in #Iran is now in its 28th day after 648 hours, with Iranians having spent more than half the year to date cut off from international networks.

Authorities continue to refine a two-tiered system where only regime apparatchiks are allowed online.
