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.

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. 😎

@hdagres I think it was 2014-15 when the case became widely publicized.

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…

@AshkanKalashy @hdagres Honestly I think the brand should be pronounced and written as Kaaleh, but I believe some pro–Kalleh Paache groups have pushed to appropriate the transliteration of the brand name for Kalleh Dairy (kinda hijacking approach).

SECRETARY RUBIO: Iran’s past refusal to walk away from their nuclear ambitions and stop supporting terrorist groups shows they are lunatics. They are religious zealots who can never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon because of their apocalyptic vision of the future.

What people like Fareed Z and his very carefully curated circle of guests fail to grasp is that the Iranian diaspora is not just a relic of the first wave after the 1979 revolution. It’s not frozen in time. It has evolved, expanded, and diversified in ways that don’t fit neatly into their talking points. If they were even mildly curious, they could walk into any Iranian community around the world and ask a simple question: When did you leave Iran? They might be startled to learn how many left quite recently. Exile didn’t end decades ago, it’s ongoing. So no, this diaspora cannot be lazily dismissed as “detached” from Iran, no matter how confidently Fareed and his guests repeat it. That claim says far more about their distance from reality than anyone else’s. But of course, I’m asking too much from people like Fareed. Sunlight isn’t good for dyed hair, much like fresh air tends to be dangerous for ideas that haven’t been tested outside a studio.

‼️w/ immense respect @FareedZakaria, it is a mistake to see the Iranian diaspora as disconnected and unfamiliar w/ the country. As @milaniabbas has so eloquently stated: “the intellectual vigor and financial prowess of the Iranian Diaspora, and its continued commitment to the realities of Iran, have together turned the exiled Iranians into a veritable part of the Iranian civil society.”

There are perhaps no more enthusiastic supporters of regime change in Iran than the Iranians living outside of the country. What are the politics of the large and vocal Iranian diaspora — and what is its influence in the country? I asked @AzadehMoaveni:

It's always funny watching Democrats act like they care about getting "dark money" out of politics when it's nothing more than posturing They get significantly more "dark money" than Republicans In 2024, Democrats got $1.2 Billion while Republicans got half of that, $664 Million

NEW: At its meeting next month, DNC will consider a resolution that criticizes AIPAC by name, and "condemns the growing influence of dark money and corporate-backed independent expenditures in Democratic elections."

CBS Evening News with Tony Dokoupil
The U.S. and Israel continued launching strikes against Iran over the weekend, with the Israeli military telling CBS News that 70% of Iran's ballistic missile launchers have been taken out. But Iran continues launching its own strikes against targets in the Gulf.
