@DrHasMo @micah_erfan @djb19ca Let me be very clear: civilians targets are already being destroyed - the Karaj bridge, steel plants, and Pasteur Institute. It’s happening now. No “ifs” Do you think the US or Israel care what Iranians want? This war is strengthening the regime just like the Iran Iraq war

If a nuclear bomb is dropped on Tehran… if they “carpet bomb”…. If they drop chemical weapons… A lot of “ifs”. But one thing is for sure, if the Islamic republic stays it’s not an “if” - it’s a continuation of murder and torture. Let Iranians in Iran decide. Overwhelmingly the are willing to risk a lot to get rid of the regime, even a bad outcome from the war. But 5 years, 10 years from now, what can really be worse than the Islamic republic still standing…

✋🏼 Hello, Iranian-American here. Much of my family was celebrating the strikes because they thought the US was trying to liberate Iranians. Now they are discovering how gravely mistaken that belief was.

Many Iranians supported your war, because your plan was to liberate Iran. Instead you celebrate sending a civilization to the Stone Age. Great leaders build, not destroy. They serve humanity, not murder schoolgirls in the name of Jesus Christ. I weep to see America like this.

@DrHasMo @micah_erfan @djb19ca That’s where you’re fundamentally wrong - it can get much worse. If more civilian targets are hit, people in Iran will face destitution. The Iran Iraq war was a huge gift to the regime. This war is becoming less a war against the regime and is turning into a war on all Iranians

Honestly it can’t get worse than it has been the last 47 years. They were already killing and torturing Iranians. Even if nothing else happens here it will be status quo in Iran. The regime being toppled or not is yet to be decided. Will people be encouraged to go out as they had said - and will they then gain support somehow to not get shot to death? We don’t know yet. Nothing is being “bulldozed” in Iran - my source? People I talk to inside Iran. IRGC will mass execute? This is nothing new.

@sharghzadeh He didn’t ask for the Israel and US to bomb Iran. Do you really think Israel or the US gives a shit what the diaspora wants? Are we living in some alternative reality where monarchists in LA have so much power they can influence US attacks Netanyahu wanted this war and got it

@hughhewitt @POTUS The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command. The speech was joke for anyone who actually watched and listened. We don’t care about the Strait of Hormuz and apparently it doesn’t need to be opened.

@jimsciutto It was Iran’s money from when the Shah bought weapons from the US and the weapons were never sent because of the revolution.

Trump says he “terminated” the 2015 nuclear deal because it sent money to Iran while neglecting to mention he’s allowed Iran to sell billions of dollars in oil just this week.

Between Rubio's video message, Trump's Oval Office comments, and the planned address tomorrow night, my guess is the admin is finally buckling to pressure (likely from the rest of GOP and in response to polling) to clearly frame why this war was necessary, why it had to happen now, and how they plan to end it. Going off what we've seen so far, the message is: Iran was trying to build a "shield" of missiles and drones, behind which it planned to rebuild its nuclear program in secret. The US had to go ti war now before Iran got too far along toward building a bomb. That's the pitch, as far as I can tell.

Working on more precise number but rough estimate: $60 billion+ for the cost of the war for Iran. That’s about 16% of GDP. Before war: Currency collapsed, inflation 40%, near zero growth, 20%+ youth unemployment, only $10–$25B accessible reserves. Will get much worse.
Mark Dubowitz@mdubowitz

Absent a deal, Iran’s economy is headed toward collapse. The regime gets only a fraction of crude revenues in usable cash. Its macro indicators were already brutal before the war; now severe physical infrastructure damage has sharply deepened the crisis. Economic distress sparked massive protests in 2017, 2018, 2025, 2026.

@gbrew24 It’s well established that the CIA paid General Fazlollah Zahedi over a million dollars to implement the coup against Mosaddegh. Zahedi was then immediately appointed prime minister by the Shah for his good work.

The nationalization crisis, National Front political experiment, TPAJAX, and post-coup settlement are complex; it's very difficult to do them justice in a single thread. While it's not true that Mosaddeq fell through US action alone, it is equally untrue to say that the US had no hand in his removal. For more, see: uncpress.org/9781469671666/…

The U.S. did NOT overthrow a democratically-elected government in Iran in 1953. Stop allowing this false narrative to go unchallenged. 🧵1/11

@SpencerGuard Great. Those goals will require the occupation of Iran. The “new leadership” is still part of the Islamic Republic and is more likely to go for a bomb than prior leadership Iran’s ballistic missile stockpile is under mountains.

I’ll bite. Finish the job for the U.S. IMO, destroy Iran’s current ballistic missile stockpile, destroy their ballistic missile building capability (industrial complex), destroy their navy and other means that allow them to threaten the strait of Hormuz, i.e. destroy their ability to project power outside of Iran; destroy all parts of Iran’s nuclear program and obtain their 1,000 pounds of 60% enriched uranium, deny Iran from ever getting a nuclear bomb. The new leadership in Iran discontinues its current and long standing behaviors to develop a nuclear bomb, ballistic missile shield and increasing range program, and use of the strait of Hormuz as a tool of regional and global economic coercion. Many military, political, and economic means and ways (not just military) can be used to achieve these ends.
Richard N. Haass@RichardHaass

it is getting increasingly tiresome to read and hear calls to "finish the job" in Iran absent any serious discussion of what the job is and how it is to be accomplished with military force.

Iranian MP says a three-urgency bill has been submitted to parliament aimed at “defending Iran’s nuclear rights.” The proposal reportedly includes: – Withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non‑Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) – Cancellation of Iran’s reciprocal measures law tied to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) – Support for a new nuclear cooperation framework with aligned states, potentially within Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and BRICS structures. - The draft has reportedly been uploaded to the Majles system and referred to the legal office. #Iran #Iranwar

@Osint613 The outcome will be the total loss of support of regular Iranians for the US and strengthening the regime if he knocks out the country’s electricity. Even the biggest opponents of the regime agree this will be a huge mistake.
Masih Alinejad 🏳️@AlinejadMasih

Mr. President, @realDonaldTrump The Islamic Republic is a terrorist regime. It has made one thing brutally clear: the lives of its own people mean nothing to it. It kills them. Then it demands money from their families to return their bodies. And if those families dare to grieve, dare to demand justice, they are threatened with gang rape and then arrested. For years, I have said clearly: the Islamic Republic is not a normal government. It is a terrorist occupying force that will only respond to strength and decisive pressure. But with the reported 48-hour ultimatum regarding the Strait of Hormuz, I feel a moral and patriotic duty to issue a critical warning: Targeting Iran’s power plants and civilian infrastructure does not weaken the regime. It punishes the Iranian people. A nationwide blackout in Iran would hand the regime exactly what it wants, a propaganda victory. The IRGC thrives on blaming foreign enemies for the suffering it has created, redirecting public anger away from itself. It would also put millions of civilians at risk. Power outages mean hospitals shut down, water systems fail, and ordinary people who are already struggling under extreme economic pressure are pushed further into crisis. And it would weaken the very people standing up to this regime. A population fighting for basic survival in darkness and desperation has far less capacity to organize, protest, and resist. If the goal is deterrence or disabling the regime, then the target set must be clear and precise: IRGC command centers, missile infrastructure, and the regime’s security and repression apparatus. Disable the regime’s war machine, not the lives of the Iranian people. The Islamic Republic has held Iran hostage for decades. At this critical moment, do not allow it to use our national infrastructure as a shield for its survival. The objective must be the liberation of Iran, not its destruction. #Iran💔

@Osint613 I want to make two very important points: (1) You’re really dumb. (2) Netanyahu has been saying Iran is 6 months away from a bomb for the last 30 plus years. He’s made that claim during the terms of about 5 US presidents. We had the JCPOA. Netanyahu lobbied to destroy it.

I want to make a very important point: The world needed to deal with the threat of the Islamic regime, the question was; to deal with them before they become nuclear or after. Before they have 10,000 missiles that can strike Europe or after. Before they can strike US mainland or after. We are in a much better situation now.

@NadavPollak This is an incredibly stupid threat. It will turn the Iranian people against the US and rally them around the regime. Everyone agrees that the people play an important role in any regime change. This hinders that. Iran will respond by targeting the gulf oil and gas fields.

@ilanberman Actually having the IAEA monitor the Iran’s nuclear program by having inspectors on the ground in Iran. Making sure enrichment of uranium was no more than 6%. But you were all for tearing up the JCPOA. I’m sure this war will make it less likely Iran will get a nuke

@NadavPollak Netanyahu has wanted war with Iran for forty years. Most knowledgeable Middle East observers knew this campaign would start a regional war. Israelis voted for Likud, and this is the policy outcome they got.

This is just insane. Senator, Hezbollah started this war by joining #Iran’s retaliation against Israel. Just in the past week hundreds of rockets and drones were fired at Israel by Hezbollah from Lebanon. Most Lebanese people don’t want this war. Most Israelis don’t want this war. The best way to end it is helping the Lebanese government take on Hezbollah . You should focus on that
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren

Pay attention to Lebanon. Trump and Netanyahu started a regional war in the Middle East, creating a humanitarian disaster. And now, the Israeli army has killed over 1,000 people in Lebanon—about 20% of them are kids. Congress should not bankroll this escalating war of choice.
