Karim, much to your dismay, Iran is not on the brink of civil war. It was a chopper crash. Iran has a strong legal & constitutional infrastructure. Just because you don't like Iran doesn't mean it doesn't have laws or that it's dissolving.

Ebrahim Raisi’s death would create a succession crisis in Iran. He and Mojtaba Khamenei are the only contenders to replace 85-year-old Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei (Mojtaba’s father). In Iran's conspiratorial political culture few will believe Raisi’s death was accidental.

7-Which suggests that unstated goal of resistance is the weakening & subsequent withdrawal of US from the region 8-Thus, the US will continue to expand the warfront, even after todays events, bc that is now the *only* way to remain in the region.

Despite an administration that seeks to destroy his life, @MomodouTaal remains on the right side of history. Stand tall Momodou. Activists expelled & suspended for challenging S. African apartheid are now remembered as heroes!!

I think there’s been some miscommunication: My suspension has not been reversed. Cornell has reversed the initial restriction to food and eviction from housing, that comes with a suspension, for the undergraduates who are suspended. I am still suspended.

@UofCJ4P I received a fundraising call a few days ago and let them know I support the encampment and will not be donating until @UChicago agrees to divest. Stay strong. We are all proud of you.

I am always shocked by the number of people who suffer from Iranophobia. It's beyond bipartisan. It is American.

The only sensible path forward for the US & allies, which has been sabotaging the region for a century: end the genocide & blockade on Gaza, stop bombing Yemen and Syria, withdraw from Iraq, and no war on Iran.

My article on "The Iranian-American Intelligentsia in U.S. Foreign Affairs" is finally out. This was a labor of love for my people, even if it is exceedingly critical. I call some current Iranian-American scholarship on Iran a "memo to the State Department..."

Seems that a US-backed coup attempt has been thwarted in DRC. The US is committing political errors out of both desperation & hubrous. Spread thin throughout the world & widely hated, the smart & ethical move for the US empire is to retreat, not double down.

Very happy to announce the publication of my article Imperialism & Black Dissent - as U.S. imperialism expanded during the twentieth century, the First Amendment & the natl security state both became major forces in the suppression of Black dissent.

In the third article, @NinaFarnia ( @AlbanyLaw ) analyzes the modern national security state and free-speech colorblindness, and argues that their practical consequence, in tandem, is to contain Black dissent.

Perhaps I haven’t made my political commitments clear enough. Folks in my mentions and Qts saying “I am unfollowing you” because of the stances I take on Iran. (Which I’ve spoken about on my podcast anyways). But if there is any doubt: I identify the primary contradiction as US

Excellent discussion between @RaniaKhalek and Prabhat Patnaik about how sanctions have ricocheted back to the US, causing dollar decline. All while we hear grumblings of a new BRICS currency that could replace the dollar.
