Muslim prayer in Times Square was framed as a “takeover.” Days later, a Zionist rally chanting in solidarity with Israel drew no comparable outrage.

On 28 February 2026, the Israeli entity launched what it described as ‘pre-emptive’ strikes on Iran, with multiple explosions reported in Tehran. Local sources revealed that several missiles struck central districts of Tehran, including University Street and the Jomhouri area. Following the strikes, Israeli entity Defence Minister Israel Katz affirmed that Israel had launched the attack and declared a state of emergency in anticipation of Iran’s retaliation. Iran has since closed its airspace until further notice. #tmjnewsnetwork #tmjnews #breaking #iran

On February 28, 2026, demonstrators gathered in Detroit, Michigan, raising banners in support of Iran and condemning the U.S.–Israeli attack on the country. Protesters voiced strong opposition to American foreign policy in the Middle East and expressed solidarity with Pales-tinians. One protester addressed the crowd with a statement criticizing U.S. actions abroad. “We now have to fight more than ever,” the individual said. “The United States has no right to murder the sovereign leader of another country. It has no right to target any leader, especially one who has fought back against Zionism and supported the rights of Palest-inians. The Middle East deserves sovereignty against American imperialism.”

The death toll continues to rise at an elementary school in Minab, Iran, following a US-Israel strike. The UN ambassador accused both the United States and the Israeli occupation entity of committing a “war crime,” saying the attack on the girls’ school killed over 100 children. He condemned the “deliberate and persistent targeting” of civilian infrastructure, adding: “This is not only an act of aggression, it is a war crime and a crime against humanity.”

Martyred in Ramadan, alongside his daughter and grandchildren, the US-Israeli attack on Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei has sent shockwaves far beyond the region. While politicians and media framed him as a threat and recycled familiar talking points about security and nuclear fears, millions saw a man who refused to normalize with the occupation entity and spoke openly for Palestine when others stayed silent. Now, in martyrdom, the narrative battle is louder than ever. As negotiations quietly shifted cities and tensions escalated, his assassination, together with members of his own family, has only deepened public distrust that peace was never the goal, and that the truth stretches far beyond what the headlines are willing to admit.

Nurses at Tehran’s Gandhi Hospital have begun evacuating patients, according to multiple witnesses. The evacuation follows severe damage to the hospital in a US‑Israeli strike earlier in the day. The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) also confirmed that its headquarters in Tehran was targeted by the airstrikes.

Most Sunni Muslims have never even heard of Ayatollah Khamenei’s fatwa, the decree that explicitly forbids cursing the Prophet’s companions, insulting Aisha, Mother of the Believers, or attacking any symbols honored by Ahl al-Sunnah. It was recognized by the Grand Scholar of Al-Azhar, yet it never became common knowledge in Sunni discourse. Instead, a completely different image of the man took hold, shaped more by media narratives than by primary sources. When something this significant is absent from the conversation, it raises a far more serious question about what else has been filtered, framed, or deliberately left out.
