There are two wars going on - the actual one where demoralized IRGC and Basij squads and being targeted and killed and there's no higher headquarters to ask for help or send help. That's the reality on the ground. And The war on X - where regime apologists have primacy on U.S. media and misrepresent the pulse of the Iranian people. Where politicians and academia cheerlead the latest U.S. casualty or loss of military aircraft and equipment. We are 14 days into Epic Fury and the enemy is demoralized, in disarray, and being targeted by precision Isreali drones with information and actionable intelligence provided by the people. 2-3 man cells are now HVTs - that destroys moral and fractures units. The leadership is not responding - the ranks are not showing up. This is Day 14. For the first time in 47 years the oppressor regime now feels what 80% of the Iranian people feared everyday - that they could be next. The roles are shifting - the people can now call in air strikes and drone strikes anywhere they see regime groupings. Don't let the cheerleaders for the regime convince you otherwise - The Iranian people are not buying it and neither are the IRGC and Basij terrorists.

The illusion of a sovereign Iraqi state collapses in plain sight. PM Sudani walks alongside militias. Falih al-Fayyadh and Abu Fadak(KH) represent the operational core of Iran-aligned networks embedded within the Iraqi state. This is institutional capture. What many in the think tank circuit label “reformable governance” is, in reality, a hybrid system where militias enjoy legal cover, budget access, and political legitimacy. SUDANI publicly aligns himself with these actors, the message is clear: The PMF is being normalized, codified, and made kosher under state authority. The question now centers on recognition: Iraq stands as a system commandeered from within.

U.S. forces are destroying Iranian naval targets that threaten international shipping in and near the Strait of Hormuz.

I agree, case in point: this professor

@MPPregent @Tina34832552745 This is often lost on folks - next man up doesn’t mean same level of competence.

Ali Larijani’s successor, Hossein Dehghan, holds a PhD in Management. He was one of the students who occupied the US embassy in Tehran. He also commanded the IRGC forces in Lebanon and was among the orchestrators of the 1983 bombing of the US Marine barracks in Beirut. The look on his face says it all.

BREAKING: Iranian proxy militia base in Iraq has been obliterated.

@MPPregent Larijani was able to unite desperate factions in Iranian politics & hold them together as he negotiated and bamboozled American & foreigners into agreements & funding. He is irreplaceable.

🚨🇮🇷BREAKING: General Afshin Naqshbandi, the liaison between the General Staff and the Basij forces, was ELIMINATED in an airstrike in the heart of Tehran.

Boy did this not age well 😅

Prior to Operation Epic Fury, the Iranian regime used the Karaj Surface-to-Surface Missile Plant to assemble ballistic missiles that threatened Americans, neighboring countries, and commercial shipping. The photo dated March 1, 2026, shows the plant prior to U.S. strikes. The image dated March 11, 2026, shows the same location after U.S. forces struck the facility with precision munitions.

The Iranian regime executed a 19 year old for demanding democracy. I stand with his memory and the thousands of other young Iranians. Those who grieve the elimination of Iranian leaders over murdered protesters is telling.

'BARBARIC MOVE': The Iranian regime carried out the public execution of a 19-year-old wrestler despite U.S. pressure and global pleas against the move. Reports say champion wrestler Saleh Mohammadi was killed in a public hanging for protesting against the regime, as the Islamic Republic tries to snuff out the ongoing movement seeking to topple it. "His execution was a blatant political murder, part of the Islamic Republic’s pattern of targeting athletes to crush dissent and terrorize society, as seen with Navid Afkari and others executed despite international outcry." foxnews.com/sports/mojtaba…

Reports from Qatar indicate that Qatari security forces have arrested Hamas propagandist and Al Jazeera analyst Saeed Ziad over his support for Iranian attacks targeting Gulf states.

🚨 Breaking: The new head of Basij who replaced the previous head of Basij who was eliminated yesterday, was eliminated today

The "they'll just replace Larijani with someone else" crowd - doesn't understand the next man up is decades behind in status.

BREAKING: UK, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Japan issue a joint statement expressing their “readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts” to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz, while welcoming countries undertaking preparations, coordinating strategic petroleum reserve (SPR) releases, and exploring ways to boost output.
