Looking at the reactions of some Iranians to the bombardment of regime sites, police facilities, and IRGC buildings, one may find parallels in the responses of other nations in earlier eras. In the aftermath of Allied forces bombing Nazi administrative centers and security headquarters during the World War, many Germans in exile expressed similarly complex emotions. Observing from abroad, they often viewed the destruction of regime institutions not simply as military events, but as symbolic blows against a system they had long opposed. Many Germans in exile (especially writers, artists, political dissidents) expressed a mix of grim satisfaction, sorrow, and moral gravity as Allied forces bombed Nazi institutions such as the Gestapo headquarters and other regime buildings in cities like Berlin. The novelist Thomas Mann, broadcasting to Germany via the BBC, framed the destruction as a tragic but necessary reckoning brought about by Hitler’s crimes. Playwright Bertolt Brecht viewed the bombings as the violent unmasking of fascism, though he remained wary of civilian suffering. Overall, exile reactions documented in letters, diaries, and broadcasts suggest a sober belief that the destruction of Nazi power centers was the unavoidable consequence of a dictatorship that had plunged Europe into catastrophe.

⚠️ Update: #Iran's internet blackout has entered day 32 with most users cut off from the outside world for over 744 hours. Extended digital isolation is bringing new challenges for Iranians, from expired domains and accounts to unpatched servers on a degrading national intranet.

To understand the Houthis’ next move, you have to look at the structural reality: capacity, supply lines, and ground maneuvers. Monitoring smuggling routes through the Horn of Africa is critical to limiting their threat. My latest for @StimsonCenter stimson.org/2026/how-to-re…

Pete Hegseth said this morning that U.S. is doing dynamic targeting. In other words, that U.S. has infiltrated the regime so much and so fast that they can update their list of targets in real time. IRGC can come on X and make posts about how smart they are all they want, but military situation doesn’t lie.

I get the point Pete Hegseth is making about dynamic targeting (being able to update targets in real time is obviously a huge operational advantage).. But if that’s the case, it feels like there’s a missing layer here. If we think of “dynamic targeting” as adapting to evolving threats, then there’s also an argument for what you could call aesthetic targeting (going after how the regime presents itself and communicates). Leaving propaganda channels like their messaging and outlets such as IRIB or their activity on X untouched arguably undermines the broader objective. If the goal is to disrupt capability and influence, it’s not just about physical or tactical targets, it’s also about blinding the narrative infrastructure that sustains them. Interestingly, addressing the narrative side doesn’t necessarily mean physical strikes. Disrupting or limiting the ability of outlets like IRIB to broadcast, or constraining how groups like the IRGC use platforms such as X, could achieve part of that effect without escalation. If dynamic targeting is about precision in the physical domain, then applying similar precision to information channels (reducing reach, interrupting distribution, and challenging messaging) seems just as important to the overall objective.

For many in Iran, the war is a necessary evil to depose the Islamic regime and give them freedom. But for others, it's coming at too high a price. A filmmaker in Iran spoke to three people who say they are losing hope that the conflict will make anything better. We have disguised their voices for their safety.

Israel's Prime Minister says they are more than halfway through the war on Iran in terms of missions. Benjamin Netanyahu said the US and Israel have killed thousands of Revolutionary Guard members and are close to wiping out Iran's arms industry.

Hundreds of kilometers inside Russia, oil refineries burst into flames, and the sky above airfields and weapons factories is filled with thick black smoke. The data shows Ukraine is systematically targeting Russian air defense systems to open gaps in coverage and reach critical infrastructure, like weapons factories, deeper inside its territory. kyivindependent.com/how-ukraine-is…

Meanwhile, the regime’s chief propaganda guru at Johns Hopkins Uni along with his loyal gang of armchair strategists has apparently detected faint signals from their carefully curated alternate reality: Pakistan is about to moonlight as Iran’s negotiator, politely coax China into jumping into the defense of Tehran. 🫣 Because, as we all know instinctively , that’s exactly how geopolitics works now. 😎

The Iranian regime is so used to ordering around the Lebanese in their own country, why should it begin respecting Lebanese sovereignty now? Theirs is but to do and die, at Iran’s call. WSJ editorial: wsj.com/opinion/iran-l…

@miadmaleki @mdubowitz Good to see people who used to listen to Jon Bon Jovi and Guns N' Roses are around and proudly admit it today. Personally I can’t and I’m just over here trying to blend in with the Bad Bunny crowd 🫣

In 1972, Iran's economy was twice the size of South Korea's. Today, South Korea's GDP is 3.5x larger than Iran's. Same era, same starting point, but one had freedom and the other had the Islamic Revolution. The potential loss is staggering. A free Iran reclaims its rightful place. A free Iran unlocks one of the greatest economic awakenings in history. My Interview with Ark Media's What's Your Number?. youtu.be/q247VKKPo5M?si…
