Reading late night news snippet …. This is kind of scary…. any dissident in China …being no. 1 executioner, and Iran a close second.

Iran has executed two men convicted of membership in a banned opposition group and carrying out disruptive actions aimed at overthrowing the Islamic republic, the judiciary said.
The executions on Saturday were the latest in a series targeting members of the banned People’s Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), after four other convicted members of the group were executed earlier in the week.
“Abolhassan Montazer and Vahid Baniamerian ... were hanged after trial and their sentences were upheld by the Supreme Court,” the judiciary’s Mizan Online website said on Saturday, cited by AFP.
The men were found guilty of attempting “rebellion through involvement in multiple terrorist acts”, as well as membership in the MEK group and carrying out acts of sabotage aimed at overthrowing the Islamic republic.
It was not immediately clear when the men were arrested.
The MEK, which initially supported the 1979 Islamic revolution before falling out with the leadership in the 1980s, has since been in exile and is designated a terrorist organisation by Tehran.
Iran is the world’s second most prolific executioner after China, according to rights groups.

All along I was thinking there’s definitely spies/agents or else how would a leader know exactly where to strike to kill another leader.
I also reckon a few innocents that were suspected of being spies were executed.
Countries against countries. This world suxs!
Where’s Scotty?
This world won’t improve, I thought long ago the nuclear age was going to put the fear into everyone to behave, no more war. But nooo….wishful thinking…
It can only hold it off for a certain amount of time….it seems. Undecided

I read that Trump wants to increase spending on military, a hike of 40% since the 2nd WW.

Trump is now a terrorist, along with Hegseth.

The US is officially a rogue state.

It seems the UN finally tried to do something... and failed again.

"

DIPLOMACY & GEOPOLITICS

France Killed the Hormuz Vote. Its Ships Paid Iran to Cross the Same Day.

France co-vetoed the UN Hormuz resolution the same day CMA CGM paid Iran $2M in yuan to cross. How Iran’s sorting mechanism splits the Western coalition.

April 4, 2026

DUBAI — On April 3, 2026, France co-vetoed a United Nations Security Council resolution that would have authorised military force to reopen the Strait of Hormuz — and on the same day, the Malta-flagged CMA CGM Kribi, owned by the world’s third-largest container shipping line, completed its transit of the Strait after coordinating directly with Iranian maritime authorities and paying a $2 million toll in Chinese yuan. No major outlet has connected these two events, which is remarkable, because they are the same event viewed from different altitudes: Paris chose commerce over coalition, and Tehran designed the system to make that choice inevitable."
