The U.S. and Iran have agreed to hold talks in Oman on Friday, even as they remained at odds over Washington's insistence that negotiations include Tehran's missile arsenal. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/05/world/politics/us-iran-talks-oman-agenda/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #iran #oman #middleeast #us
The real size of Iran
by @the.world.in.maps
made using https://thetruesize.com
@infobeautiful The Iran map is using a Mercator projection, which preserves angles but distorts area. A projection that preserves area would communicate better (more beautifully)
Your source shows a relatively accurate size comparison (projection on a projection). Presentng it in Mercator makes it more dramatic, but inescapably misleads the viewer as to relative area within the map. eg. this Florida - Florida map from your source.
Nongovernmental organizations are battling to quantify the scale of Iran’s crackdown on protesters, a task complicated by the internet shutdown, manipulated content and threats against sources inside the country. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/04/world/ngos-iran-crackdown-death-count/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #iran #middleeast #humanrightsactivistsnewsagency #iranhumanrights
So, I’m thinking about some kind of solution to selfhost or implement that would allow us to receive things like RSS feeds or news from Telegram channels. To be clear, when they shut down international traffic, there is no way to connect using normal protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, etc.
Do you have any ideas about this?

The U.S. Navy shot down an Iranian drone headed toward a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea, spooking oil markets amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/04/world/us-jet-iranian-drone-arabian-sea/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #us #iran #drones #arabianseamiddleeast #oil

During the complete internet blackout in Iran, one of the most important things we missed was a way to receive news. The blockage still continues, it’s a little easier now to access the international internet, but it is still whitelisted.

Iran’s leadership is increasingly worried a U.S. strike could break its grip on power by driving an already enraged public back onto the streets, following a bloody crackdown on anti-government protests. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/03/world/politics/iran-us-strike-protests/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #iran #middleeast #us
Iran’s supreme leader warned of a "regional war” as tensions continued to mount over potential U.S. strikes on Tehran and top Israeli military officials visited Washington. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/02/world/iran-regional-war-trump-demands/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #iran #middleeast #israel #us #usmilitary #donaldtrump
Iran has declared the armies of European countries "terrorist groups," following the European Union's decision to apply the same designation to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/02/01/world/politics/iran-eu-armies-terrorist-irgc/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #europe #eu #terrorism #middleeast #israel #gaza #iran #lebanon #hezbollah #us
