Iran-Israel conflict swells again: 4 films to watch that decode the rivalry
Israel escalated its military campaign this weekend by targeting dozens of Iranian air‑defense batteries, vowing to strike 'every corner' of Tehran's military infrastructure. Iran's president, Masoud Pezeshkian, warned that continued 'aggression will be met with a more severe and powerful response,' while each side reported casualties amid renewed fears of a wider Middle East war. A Proxy War Renewed The latest exchanges come against a backdrop of decades‑long proxy confrontations. Since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, Iran has backed groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas, while Israel has responded with covert strikes, support for anti‑Iranian factions, and the targeted killing of nuclear scientists. Diplomatic efforts on Iran's nuclear program have stalled, leaving force once again at the forefront of this bitter rivalry. Films to Watch for Deeper Insight To understand the human and strategic complexities of the Iran–Israel conflict, these four films offer valuable perspectives: Atomic Falafel (2015) Set in an Israeli town hosting a secret nuclear program, this thriller‑comedy follows teenage falafel vendor Nofar Azrian as she uncovers and leaks sensitive military secrets. The film underscores how nuclear anxieties permeate everyday life on both sides of the border. — edrormba (@edrormba) Rita Jahan Foruz (2013) This documentary profiles Rita, an Iranian‑born singer who emigrated to Israel, as she returns to record her first Farsi album. Her journey highlights the cultural bridges—and political tensions—between two nations often portrayed as irreconcilable enemies. One Wish for Iran, Love Israel (2013) Launched alongside Iran's 2013 presidential inauguration, this grassroots film collects messages of peace from Israeli Jews, Palestinians, and Arab citizens, then extends them to Iranian citizens. It serves as a reminder that ordinary people on both sides share a desire for dialogue and understanding. The Impossible Spy (1990) Based on the true story of Israeli Mossad agent Eli Cohen, this film (and its later Netflix adaptation, The Spy ) dramatizes how a civilian infiltrated Syria's highest circles, providing intelligence that proved decisive in the Six‑Day War. It illustrates the clandestine stakes that have long defined Iran–Israel tensions through their regional alliances. — KevorkAlmassian (@KevorkAlmassian) As Israel and Iran brace for further action, these films offer viewers a more nuanced grasp of the historical, cultural, and personal dimensions that drive one of the Middle East's most enduring and dangerous conflicts. While warplanes and missiles dominate the news, these films underscore that the Iran–Israel conflict is as much about human stories as it is about geopolitics.

Donald Trump to impose travel restrictions on 36 countries? Here's what we know
The Trump administration is contemplating about adding travel restrictions for 36 more countries. Some of them are close US partners, like Egypt and Djibouti. This is based on an internal memo reviewed by The Washington Post. The memo was signed by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and sent to US diplomats on Saturday. It says the listed countries have 60 days to follow new rules set by the State Department. The State Department said some of the countries have failed to meet certain standards, like having 'no competent or cooperative central government authority' to give out trusted identity documents. Others have 'a large number of citizens who have violated the terms of their visas.' The memo adds that if a country agrees to take back third-country nationals being deported from the US, it may help ease other concerns. The countries facing possible visa limits, travel bans, or other steps include 25 in Africa: Angola, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, Ethiopia, Egypt, Gabon, Gambia, Ghana, Liberia, Malawi, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Sao Tome and Principe, Senegal, South Sudan, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Caribbean countries on the list are: Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and Saint Lucia. The memo also names four countries in Asia: Bhutan, Cambodia, Kyrgyzstan, and Syria. And three in Oceania: Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. These countries have until 8 a.m. Wednesday to send the State Department a first plan on how they will meet the new rules. A State Department spokesperson would not talk about the memo but said the department is always 'reevaluating policies to ensure Americans are safe and foreign nationals abide by the law.' It is still not clear if the new travel limits will begin after the deadline. Also Read: Donald Trump warns Iran: 'Full might of US military will come down on you if…' This memo comes one week after Trump brought back his first-term travel ban. That order blocks entry from 12 countries and limits travel from 7 others. In January, Trump signed another order asking the State Department to list countries 'for which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension' on their citizens. These moves are part of Trump's larger immigration plan, including what he called the 'largest mass deportation operation' in U.S. history. His plan also includes canceling visas and ending protections for tens of thousands of immigrants.

'Far left is murderously violent': Is Minnesota shooting suspect Vance Luther Boelter a Democrat?
Vance Luther Boelter worked for Minnesota Dem Governor Tim Walz but his pal says he is a Trump supporter 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter allegedly shot and killed Minnesota politician Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman at their home in Brooklyn Park -- posing as a police officer. A manhunt has been launched while Democrats and Republicans are at odds with the political affiliation of Boelter -- as the killed politicians were Democrats. Roommate says Boelter is a Trump voter According to reports, a roommate of Boelter who knew him from fourth grade claimed that the suspect was a Trump supporter. David Carlson, the friend, claimed to have received the last text message from Boelter which said: "I may be dead shortly. I wish it hasn't gone this way. I don't want to say anything more. You guys don't know anything about this. I love you guys and I am sorry for all the troubles this has caused." The friend, however, said they did not speak about politics lately. — elonmusk (@elonmusk) Elon Musk reacted to the murders and shared an X post writing: 'The far left is murderously violent".

The left has become a full blown domestic terrorist organization," the post said. Is Boelter a Democrat? The MAGA rejected that Boelter was a Trump supporter and emphasized that he was employed by Governor Tim Walz and there were 'No Kings Day' poster found in his car. "The media wants to gaslight you into thinking the shooter in Minnesota is a Trump supporter. He was appointed by Walz. He was friends with Walz. And he had NO KINGS flyers in his car. No Kings is a violent group and it's no surprise the shooting took place the day the NO KINGS protests kicked off across the country. The organizers of NO KINGS and @GovTimWalz need to be detained by the FBI and interrogated," Trump aide Laura Loomer said.
