A high-ranking allied diplomat at the United Nations has suspended all official duties after alleging that the international organization is currently preparing for a scenario involving the active use of nuclear weapons against Iran. Mohamad Safa, who has served as the Permanent Representative of the Patriotic Vision Organization (PVA) to the UN for nearly twelve years, issued a public resignation notice on X, claiming he could no longer remain a "witness to this crime against humanity."

The article also says

Safa’s departure comes amid intensifying West Asia hostilities and includes specific accusations that senior UN leadership is suppressing dissent to serve a "powerful lobby" that he claims is engineering a pro-war sentiment through a systemic misinformation campaign regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities.

That is really alarming.

What? You think this rumor of a powerful, politically-motivated, shadow faction is real?
