Khamenei’s Killing Sparks Anger and Grief in South Asia’s Shiite Muslims
We're witnessing an immense outpouring of grief and anger among Shia populations in India and Pakistan after the killing of Ali Khamenei. It was an honor to speak to Zia Rehman of the @nytimes.com about the reasons for this:

The "new" Middle East starts to awfully feel like the 1980s: Israel launches a ground offensive in Lebanon to "finally" end all threats, a weakened Iranian regime is invaded from Iraq, and oil tankers get attacked in the Gulf.

This statement by Hegseth does not make any sense at all - it was not up to the Iranian transitional council to select a successor to Khamenei - and all three men on it are alive and well and have met several times since Saturday...

I'm featured (very briefly) in this @npr.org "All Things Considered" piece by @diaahadid.bsky.social on Shia protests in South Asia, following the assassination of Ali Khamenei:

Golestan Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was damaged amid the U.S.-Israeli strikes of Tehran. Ironically, this royal complex is where both Reza Pahlavi’s father and grandfather were crowned. #Iran

Many people online, Fox News, Reuters, and Iran International all claim that it is "confirmed" that the Ali Khamenei has been assassinated. Yet, the only "confirmation" that I have seen are anonymous Israeli officials. Is there anything else?

Evil in the West Bank | David Shulman
As long as the daily horrors in the occupied territories continue and the extreme right remains in power, democracy in Israel will be sick at the core.
From my HUJI colleague David Shulman:
"Settler gangs roamed the village freely, exulting in their victory over what they call “the enemy”—the peaceful people of Ras al-‘Ain[...] If you’d like to witness human evil at its worst, come with me any day to the West Bank."

So cool that Besnik Sinani's monograph is now out with @degruyterbrill.bsky.social, revealing a completely neglected side of contemporary Saudi Arabia.

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

Trump moves closer to a major war with Iran
There's little public debate about what could be the most consequential U.S. military action in a decade.
Rumors swirling again regarding a major war with #Iran. According to the latest Axios report, the Israeli government is supposedly preparing for an attack to happen within days:
