The most definitive White House statement purporting to justify the Israel-US war on Iran was its March 2, 2026 statement entitled "The Iranian Regime's Decades of Terrorism against American Citizens". whitehouse.gov/articles/2026/… After a brief editorial opening, the article lists 44 incidents with a total of 992 US deaths. The source of the data wasn't given. Where did it come from? Unlike the Iraq war or the Russia collusion allegation, the reporting didn't come from an intelligence assessment, flawed or otherwise. It turns out that the list was plagiarized by the White House from a June 19, 2025 list (fdd.org/analysis/2025/…) prepared by a former AIPAC employee (Tzvi Kahn) for a think tank (FDD) founded "to provide education to enhance Israel's image in North America". The think tank's original identity was "EMET (Hebrew for 'truth')". The June 19, 2025 publication was literally on the eve of the first US bombing of Iran on June 21, 2025. In this thread, I'll compare each and every item in the White House statement to the corresponding item in the original list by the former AIPAC employee. The list is virtually identical. Any slight changes are always in the change of ratcheting up the underlying allegation.

@MarxistsWon @cirnosad Do you mean 'zugzwang'?

@cirnosad This is known as a "Fork" in Chess. Either way, something very valuable will be taken off the board.

Iran is repeating its attack sequence, targeting Dimona. Israel is in a catch-22: It can turn off its radars and not attempt to intercept, to hide its radar signatures, but then something valuable in Dimona will get struck. Otherwise, it turns it on and lights up its entire system which Iran will attack as a follow up.

@NiohBerg "Most Israeli men say forced sex acquaintance is not rape."

Remember that none of this would be happening if Yahya Sinwar didn't decide to murder and rape Israelis in a 12 hour rampage.

@thecavedaddy Good for you. What events triggered the U turn btw?

Within about 18 months i have gone from a full fledged Zionist who cheered on everything Israel was doing, to pretty much the complete and total opposite.

@pati_marins64 Iranian soldier or even Iraqi resistance, when they were promised there will be Israeli troops coming to visit.

Trump and Netanyahu see the same mirages as Saddam On September 22, 1980, Saddam Hussein assembled a force of 50,000-70,000 men, 2,500-3,000 tanks, IFVs and APCs, supported by about 120-150 aircraft and 400 pieces of artillery/MLRS, and invaded the Iranian province of Khuzestan. The Iraqi army of the era was modern, well-equipped, and technologically superior. Capitalizing on the chaos sown by the Islamic Revolution, it surged across the Iranian plains. With such a massive force, it seemed invincible, who could have possibly stood in its way? The advance was rapid. In less than a week, the Iraqi tanks crossed the Karun River and surrounded key cities. The flat topography of Khuzestan favored the armored doctrine. Until the advance stopped. When they tried to enter Khorramshahr, the Iraqi vehicles got stuck in narrow streets and were hunted by Iranian militiamen with grenade launchers (RPGs). This forced Saddam to divert even more troops to the south, turning the place into a meat grinder. Saddam realized he would not be able to take Khuzestan in a rush. He ordered the total siege of Abadan and the street-by-street invasion of Khorramshahr. It was the first major tactical error. Troops and armored vehicles entered dense urban areas and came face to face with young Iranians firing RPG-7s from the tops of buildings. The result was that Iraq took Khorramshahr after 34 days, but at a human cost that broke the morale of the armored divisions. With the Iraqi momentum exhausted, the southern front turned into a “World War I in the desert.” In May 1982, Iran surrounded and captured 19,000 Iraqi soldiers in Khorramshahr. In 1980, small groups of Iranian soldiers and Kurdish militias used the caves and fissures of the mountains to fire anti-tank missiles from top to bottom. Approximately 20,000 to 30,000 Iraqis were killed on the southern front alone until 1982, and a large part of the tanks and armored vehicles were destroyed or abandoned. On the Northern and Central Axis, it was a mountain war. Iraq advanced to the foothills of the Zagros, but was again halted by numerous Iranian positions in that mountain range. Today the situation is very similar: Iran does not try to hold the border; it lets the enemy enter, because it knows it will have protected positions in the mountains to establish a war of attrition. At this moment, a CSG with about 5,000 marines is on its way to the region, where it should join Israeli troops to attempt an operation to liberate the Strait of Hormuz and take Kharg Island. Even if this force carried out the land invasion, where would it shelter? In the same plain that became hell for the Iraqis, or in the short strip of flat land that exists at some points of Hormuz? And another question: where will this troop group up in the face of Iranian missiles and drones? In any point of the Iranian Gulf lands where there might be success in its occupation, there will be positions in the mountains, drones and missiles hitting that occupation to the point of causing many casualties. Just as the US-Israel sees a chance of occupation on Kharg Island, Saddam also saw it in Khuzestan. In Iran, when the land is flat, it is also surrounded by positions in the mountains and ositions fortified with Iranian UHPC. To get an idea of the Iranian fortifications, while the high-strength concrete of the USA revolves around 100-150 MPa (megapascals), Iran regularly produces concrete of 200 to 400 MPa. If the GBU-57 bombs cannot penetrate a few meters of UHPC that protect the entrances of the mountains of the nuclear installations, the surgical bombing with GBU-72, which weigh only 20% of the GBU-57, and occurred in the last days in the mountains of the strait, is a myth. Putting feet on the ground in Iran would require a force that the United States today is incapable of mobilizing.

@cirnosad Any more detailed infos on the 2nd?

The two F-35 shootdowns have destroyed 3 weeks of PSYOPs claiming the US had access to Iran’s skies.

@KateEmersonBri An article from 2011. The link: theguardian.com/world/view-fro…

I have never lived in Italian, Greek, Lebanese or Chinese society, but i have lived in Israeli society. I was going to write quite a bit but i don't need to. But i do want to say this little pearler: a surprising number of Israeli women are married to their rapists. Yes, you read that right. Israeli men have a proclivity to rape (as you may have surmised in recent times) and often rape their dates and girlfriends. The women marry them anyway, as it is pretty par for the course. It is ACCEPTED. This is Israeli society #FreePalestine

@CallaWalsh Bravo Earthquake Faction, good job!

🚨 BREAKING: Elbit Factory set ablaze in Czech Republic, the Earthquake Faction is launched. “On 20th March 2026, the Earthquake Faction struck the epicenter of the Israeli weapons industry in Europe. In Pardubice, Czech Republic, Elbit Systems' "Centre of Excellence" was newly built in collaboration with LPP, to service the global expansion of Israel's biggest weapons producer. Whilst the development, production and training center was empty, The Earthquake Faction intervened to destroy its equipment and set the factory ablaze. No one was harmed. The site is used to develop weaponry used by the Zionist entity to massacre people daily in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and across West Asia. The Earthquake Faction is an internationalist underground network that targets key sites critical to the Zionist entity. We aim to destroy all limbs of empire from within, by any means effective. For our full communiqué and more videos/images which are free to distribute, see our website: earthquakefaction.net Updates on Telegram at t.me/earthquake_fac…”

@KateEmersonBri @Jennifer_O_Lee1 I just found out this book, published in 2014.

@KateEmersonBri @Jennifer_O_Lee1 Thank you for this story, which I've never heard of, but am not surprised in light of recent developing events.

@mtmalinen Funny thing is, even Russia & China, supposed to be equal adversaries of US, have never attacked US, let alone obliterated their bases in West Asia.

What people desperately need to understand is that if Iran, after decades of sanctions, were able to build missile capacity to annihilate U.S. bases in the Middle East, just think what Russia can do. Iran turned every single U.S. base in any country in the world into a mere target.

@mhmd_s09 We're in this together. ✊️

It seems my writings exposing the crimes of the occupation, and my constant posts about Dr. Hussam Abu Safieh, have disturbed the Zionists and their collaborators. I've started receiving threats, insults, and even reports against my account. Please help me by adding my account and commenting on the post, so I can continue until my last breath. Free Palestine! 🍉

@ArmchairW This is huge if it's true. What's the operational altitude of B-2 & what existing AD systems able to reach them? S-400?

"We don't have waypoints" sounds like an excuse for an abort message sent via HFGCS. I wonder if there was relevant traffic around then. Might have had something to do with an F-35 getting shot down around then. If the Iranians can down an F-35 they can absolutely drop a B-2.

🇺🇸🇮🇷 A source tracking US bombing missions against Iran reports that yesterday, aircraft stationed in the UK remained at the base, and instead, B-2s took off from American territory. The mission involved 2-3 B-2 bombers. They crossed the Atlantic Ocean, refuelled, but then reached Portugal and turned back. "When approaching Gibraltar, it turned out that they supposedly did not know the coordinates of the rest of the route to Iran, and announced that they would turn around and head back west". The audio allegedly shows an intercepted conversation with Portuguese air traffic controllers. In addition, there were some problems with the B-1 the day before yesterday. As already mentioned, for several days, two bombers were sent to bomb Iran from the UK twice a day. But on March 17, only one B-1 out of two took off for the second mission, and it did not reach its destination - it returned after 8 hours of flight. Blind Fury going smoothly.

@sneako We're looking fwd to your visit to Indonesia bro.

All white people except me. Islam is for all.

@completopposite @mark_slapinski Praying for Putin to send some hazelnutz packages in the direction of Tel Aviv.

@mark_slapinski It's not just Iran's NPP is it, it's Russian and they have already given a explicit warning of the consequences if Russian citizens are hit.

WTF: A missile was fired at Iran's nuclear power plant. This is getting out of control!

@AnneEndofTimes @MansurQr I couldn't read the complete article either, but here's the grab of top parts.

@IwanLab @MansurQr Paywall what does it say

🚨BREAKING Bloomberg reveals that 16 U.S. fighter jets have been destroyed so far in the war against Iran.

@kottur_lover22 Good to hear that. I have some Japanese friends, from academia, none of them support various govs all these years that were too docile vis-a-vis US international policy.

I am Japanese, but I stand with Iran, not America. The vast majority of Japanese people are on Iran's side. Prime Minister Takaichi does not represent the opinion of the Japanese people. Many Japanese people are ashamed that they made Sanae Takaichi prime minister.
