Far off past the Gulf where the tankers glide slow,Past deserts that shimmer with petro-cash glow,There squatted a capital dusty and grimWhere Laryjani Loudmouth ruled bluster and brim. His palace was marble, his carpets were thick,His speeches ran longer than bureaucrats’ schtick.And every noon briefing — a daily routine —Was threats by the barrel and rage by the ream. “I thunder! I threaten! I rattle! I vow!The Orange-Haired Man will come begging — somehow!My rockets will roar! My drones will take flight!My enemies tremble and faint at the sight!” The courtiers clapped like obedient seals,The generals nodded with medals and…

By Abdul Masih — The survival of the Iranian Regime now lies in the estimated 300,000 fanatics comprising the Basij units who suppress dissent, surveil neighborhoods and otherwise keep control on the 95% of Iran that’s not on board with the Islamist occupier leadership. Three hundred thousand. That’s a lot of fierce loyalists to kill — if the Army, tasked with defending the nation, not the regime, should defect. While international analysts are pessimistic about changing leadership inside Iran, a closer look at the Basij reveals the task may be close at hand after all. That’s because the Basij –…

By Abdul Masih — After receiving explicit threats, the gay rights group Jejaka in Malaysia canceled in January its planned retreat Glamping with Pride in Hulu Selangor. The threats were not limited to a few backwards-thinking weirdos but was joined by police, legislators and government officials. Deputy Minister of Religious Affairs Marhama Rosli exhorted the public to stop using the term LGBT. “To ensure the use of consistent terminology and to avoid any normalization in speech or writing, it is urged that the term LGBT no longer be used starting today,” Marhama said, per translation. “The term should be referred…

By Abdul Masih — EXACTLY when the first cruise missiles hit Iran, China suddenly stopped ALL of the constant hostile flights — usually about 30 or so fighter jets, drones and surveillance aircraft– buzzing Taiwan, intimidating and violating its airspace. “The moment the U.S. launched a major strike, Beijing pulled back,” says Lei of Lei’s Real Talk. “A switch was flipped, a kill switch.” It was very strange for the world’s most militarized airspace around the Taiwan Strait, a critical shipping lane, to suddenly go quiet and stay quiet for nearly eight days. Theories were proposed (a good will gesture…

By Abdul Masih — According to long-time critic of Islam, David Wood, Ali Khamenei’s assassination and the subsequent demolition of the Shi’ite regime is the last vestige of hope for faith in Islam. “It’s almost impossible to overstate how traumatic the assassination of Khamenei is to Muslims,” said the Apologetics Roadshow podcaster. “Everyone is completely missing the big picture… Muslims are throwing tantrums because they’re looking around at the world and thinking, If Islam is true, this isn’t the way things should be. It’s suffocating their confidence.” The significance of the ayatollah’s death is that he represented the only remaining…

By Abdul Masih – Since the Iranian uprising and now with the war, some 10,000 Iranians have poured across the Pakistani border as refugees, and Pastor Paul has been there to minister to them. “When we teach about repentance and about Heaven and Hell from the Holy Bible, when they understand what it is, then they happily accept Jesus Christ,” he says. Pastor Paul says he’s seen 500 or so Iranians become Christians as refugees. This is what Pastor Paul does since 2017. He goes into the poorest areas of the Balochistan Province and especially the Sindh Province and brings…

News Analysis By Abdul Masih — The lone wolf terrorist — like the Austin shooter in a “Property of Allah” hoodie — belongs to a historical tradition in fundamentalist Islam, a treasured heritage of the solo warrior ghazi who kept alive Muslim dreams of conquering Constantinople. Forget about the terror cell. They’re being watched and interrupted by the FBI. The new and very real danger is the solo actor who derives inspiration to act alone, and these terror entrepreneurs are being inspired by clerics and scholars right here in America who take advantage of the freedom of speech to bring…

By Abdul Masih — The war against Iran is so heavily one-sided, and a lion’s share of the credit goes to Artificial Intelligence. The U.S. military might rests not just precision bombs and superior air power. It is the integration of the vast trove of surveillance data being analyzed instantaneously by AI to generate targets faster than humans could ever do. “We’re way ahead of schedule,” President Donald Trump boasted on March 2. AI is largely responsible. AI systems analyze satellite images, signals intelligence, phone data and surveillance feeds to identify military sites. Algorithms rank targets and suggest priorities for…

By Msgana Reda – Adrien was dying, paralyzed and blind in the hospital bed. As her breathing was stopping and her liver shutting down, the doctor said there was no hope. But a pastor and his wife came to visit Adrien. “Jesus is alive,” the pastor said. “Jesus has taken your sin away. He had taken Israel’s sin away. He died, paid the price. You have to repent so that your name may be written in the Lamb’s book of life.” A descendent of Holocaust survivors, Adrien rejected Jesus. He was a statue in Rome, she thought. “I didn’t even…

By Abdul Masih — In 1983, a Hezbollah operative drove a TNT-laden Mercedes van through a barricade and into a Marine barracks in Lebanon, killing 241 servicemen. Iran was behind the attack, but Iran skated free. In the Iraq war between 2003 and 2011, Iran supplied and trained Iraq insurgents with Explosively Formed Penetrators to kill 603 U.S. servicemen.

Death toll: 184 Iran skated free. During his first…
